Forever Insane

by Maddylovesyou

Darkside insane asylum is something Maka's use to, for she goes there all the time. She goes to see her mother. Maka is bitter and cold, keeping everthing in and letting nothing out but when she runs into another patient at the hosipital could all of that change? How can someone who is so frail fascinate her so much? AU Crona x Maka

48. Chapter 48

Maka's eyes shoot open, her body sitting up in alarm as she looks around, a fear gripping her heart. She takes in the dark room she's in..about to panic about where she is and how she got here when she sees her captain Jack Sparrow statue grinning at her from the darkness.

She lets out a sigh of relief, her body relaxing.

She's back in her room..back in the mansion..her heart raises as she looks down at the space next to her on the bed, only for it to plummet to her feet.

The bed is empty. Crona isn't beside her.

Maka frowns deeply as she makes her way off the bed, her bare feet touching the fuzzy carpet as she stands up and looks around for the boy..

Didn't she heal him?..The last thing she remembers is falling asleep..but how did she get back in her room?..Where's Crona?..Where's Ragnarok?

The mansion is dead quiet..there is no sound and for some reason Maka feels like she shouldn't make a sound either...something about this isn't right and she doesn't like how her stomach is turning.

"M-Maka.." She hears his voice behind her so she turns around, her heart rising only for her to frown.

Crona isn't behind her..no one is..but her door is open when it wasn't a second ago. Something about how the door slightly sways on it's own..and the eery creaks it's making tell Maka to stay away..to get as far away as she can but instead..

Maka walks over to the open door slowly..her heart beat speeding up in anxiety but she wants to see Crona..she wants to see him ok..she wants to see him smile at her. She walks out of her room slowly, peeking cautiously around before she steps out..but no one is here.

She's all alone.

It's really dark in the mansion for some reason..all the lights are turned down low in the hallway she's in and when she looks at the paintings of angels on the walls around her..they all seem to be looking at her..their faces changing to that of a demon's, and their all smirking at her.

Maka doesn't like how quiet it is, she doesn't like how fast her heart is beating, and she really doesn't like that she doesn't know where Crona is..Maka did just hear him right?..It had to be him but there's no one here..

"Crona.." Maka calls quietly despite how scared she had been of making noise, she needs to find the boy..she doesn't want to be alone anymore.

There's a bang down the end of the hallway to her left, Maka having to bite back a scream of fright as she whips around to look..She's expecting to see something..anything down this hallway but there isn't anything. Just a empty hallway with the pictures of demons grinning at her. Maka gathers her courage and begins to walk towards where she heard the sound..someone has to be here..maybe it was Ragnarok? Or Eruka? Hell, maybe even Medusa..but someone had to have made that noise..

Maka's feet make slight creaking sounds as she walks down this hallway..the painting's eyes seem to follow her..and her breathing is too heavy for her liking. She doesn't know why she wants to be so quiet..it's not like there's some monster here ready to eat her or something..but why does she feel so..scared? There's a dark feeling that's gripping her heart and it's getting harder to breathe..Each step she makes she swears she hears a step behind her but when she turns around..

No one is there.

So she continues down this hallway..set in her mind that she will find who made that bang and then she wouldn't be so scared because she wouldn't be alone. The fear would melt away to nothing..if she could just find someone..if it wasn't so quiet..She gets to the end of the hallway and her throat turns dry.

There's nothing here.

Nobody.

No doors.

Nothing but a painting of a guy holding a gun to his head..a single tear falling down his face as his finger rest right on the trigger..ready to pull it and end his life. In the back ground there's a open door with a girl seeming to just come into this..it looks like she's screaming..but the guy with the gun is just smiling sadly at Maka..frozen in this moment between life and death in this canvas.

Maka doesn't like this picture. It feels her with deep sadness..a sadness she doesn't understand..It's just a picture right? So why is it like she's actually looking at this boy..like she actually knows him and he's about to take his life..and that sad smile on his face..it reminds her too much of another sad smile she gets from another boy..

The boy she's looking for right now.

Maka can't stop looking at this picture..can't stop looking at the boy's expression and that smile on his lips..Not only does this picture upset her..but it creeps her out Considering it's so fucking quiet and she doesn't remember this picture ever being here..How could she miss something so sad?..How could she have not caught this?..And why the hell would Medusa hang something up like this? It definably doesn't go with the rest of the angel pictures she has around the mansion..this one is different..this one feels real.

She can't control herself and she slowly starts to reach her hand out..wanting to touch his face..wanting to wipe that painted tear away. In a weird way she wants to help him. She wants to stop him from pulling the trigger. Those sad blue eyes are pulling her in..she's so close to touching the painting-

"What are you doing?" A soft voice speaks behind her..it sounds young..like a little girl.

Maka whips around only to see a empty hallway..no one is here but at the same time..she feels like she isn't alone and that makes the hairs on her arms stick up and a shiver to go down her spine.

"W-Who's there?" Maka almost kicks herself for the stutter. She doesn't want to seem afraid! That's the worse thing you can give your enemies..fear.

"You don't know me..and I don't know you." The little girl's voice responds but Maka still doesn't see her. " But you stole everything from me..you took my life..just as your going to take that boy's behind you."

At her words..Maka hears a click..like the clicking of a gun when it's ready for the bullet to be fired coming from behind her. Maka turns around and she can't help but to gasp..her eyes wide.

The boy from the picture stands in front of her..the picture is still on the wall but the boy isn't in the picture anymore..and neither is the girl in the back ground. The boy holds the gun to his head..staring at her with those pale blue eyes. His hair is hidden in a black wrap and so is his face..the only thing Maka can see is his eyes and his lips..

To see that sad smile in person..makes it all the more worse. To see that tear fall down this boy's face as he holds the gun so steady in his hand..like he's so sure about this..like he's never been so sure in his life about something. He's sure about killing himself.

His finger tightens on the trigger-

"Wait!" Maka cries out and the boy pauses..he doesn't blink but he seems to focus on her..

That sad smile grows.

"That's all I've done for most of my life is wait..I waited for you and when I got you I messed it all up. I don't deserve you..it would be best..if I would just disappear."

"No! I don't understand what your talking about! I don't even know you but you can't do this!" Maka takes cautious steps forward..

The boy chuckles humorlessly at this.

"You know me more then you think." The boy closes his eyes..his smile growing and that tear finally falling off his cheek. "B-Bye Maka.."

He pulls the trigger..he really pulls the trigger..a loud 'boom' sounds as the bullet pierces right through his head..going into the opposite wall beside him. The boy's eyes only widen..but that smile hasn't left his face as he falls to the ground lifeless..his blood oozing out of his brain, The gun still clutched in his hand..

Maka stares at The boy with wide eyes..her heart ripping to pieces..it all happen so quickly..it takes a moment for everything to sink in before she snaps.

"Noo!" She screams, pulling at her hair while looking at this boy..she's never felt this depressed..this in pain..her watery eyes look to The gun The boy is holding..

She's never felt this suicidal.

Maka can't control her body..she walks over..wanting to grab the gun and shoot herself with it..wanting to have the same fate as this boy..The boy she doesn't even fucking know but such a deep pain is hurting her..and she would rather be dead..

She goes to grab the gun and when she blinks and opens her eyes..

The boy's body is gone. There's no blood, no bullet hole in the wall..there isn't even the picture of the boy on the wall..it has been replaced by one of those paintings of the creepy angels..Maka blinks a couple of times..but no matter how much she does she still sees this empty hallway again..Has she really lost it?..She must have..was there really no boy here? No picture of the boy?..Was that all in her head..?

Damn, she's more fucked up then she thought.

She really needs Crona now.

"Crona.." She calls weakly..her body shaking from her fear now.

Maka hears a bang to her right and when she looks over..she sees a door that wasn't there a second ago..but Maka's done with questioning this..she just wants to find Crona. She wants to be held by him..she wants to forget about that boy's sad smile..forget about the sound his body made as it fell to the ground lifeless..

"Crona." Maka calls again a bit stronger as she grabs the handle of this door and opens it, marching in.

It's a empty room..except for a mirror in the middle of it. Maka's reflection staring right back at her with those large, terrified green eyes. Maka frowns deeply as she starts to walk around this room, the door closing behind her but she doesn't care right now. Crona has to be here..she heard something..at least someone has to be here..

The room really is empty..except for that mirror. Maka sighs and goes back to the door to open it and get out of here..only to find it locked. She feels a panic inside her as she struggles with the door, desperately trying to get it open but it's not giving in..and the scariest part about this..

Maka doesn't feel her powers..like at all. She tries to summon them..but they don't come. Her powers aren't' listening to her...no..she doesn't even have her powers.

She bangs on the door with her fists, it shakes but it's not giving in. It's sturdy. Maka is about to crawl into a ball and shut down..nothing makes sense..what the hell is going on? When did the mansion get so weird? Where's Crona? Where's Ragnarok?..and that boy-

"You won't get out like that.." That child's voice sounds behind her..and when she turns around..her heart is about to give up on her.

A little girl stares at her in the mirror, her dull eyes piercing her soul better then anybody could. Her white dress is ruined with something red..and there looks to be blood coming from the corner of her mouth. She's so pale..like a ghost. This girl makes her want to cry..makes her feel disgusting..makes her heart get ripped apart..

With guilt.

"So you remember me? That's surprising since I was only one out of a thousand other's you killed." The girl is speaking sarcasm but her eyes never lose that dullness.

Maka tries to say something..but any words get stuck in her throat..she's never felt like this..and it hurts her to see this girl..

The girl she had killed.

"Do you know what I want to be when I grow up?" The girl crosses her arms..her voice getting softer.

Maka can only shake her head..her heart, along with her sanity, shattering.

"A doctor." She chimes..and she almost seems happy. "I want to be a doctor..so I can help my twin brother with his leukemia..that's why he didn't get to go to the carnival with us you know? He's gotten too sick..he can't leave the hospital." The girl's dull eyes seem to get a far away look to them before she looks down..her bangs cut across her face getting in her eyes. "But I can't be a doctor now can I? I can't even grow up..and my brother..he's going to die isn't he? He's going to die alone because we all died that day..and we left him alone..." Then Maka sees the tears fall down the girl's face..but it's blood...it's red like it at least.

"..I'm sorry.." Is all she can say. Her evil side is cracking up..but she just feels like shit..feels horrible..

She feels suicidal.

"..Sorry doesn't cut it stupid, I'm still dead." The girl's voice gets a bit firmer as she looks up with that red streaking her face. "I won't let you forget about what you've done to me..I won't stop haunting you..really I feel sorry for you..at least I had my brother..all you have is your enemies."

"I-" A bang behind her cuts Maka off and she whips around..but the door is still closed.

"Looks like he's here..it turns out I'm not the only one that has a bone to pick with you..apparently, a lot of people have a bone to pick with you." The little girl grumbles, sounding annoyed she's not the only one.

Maka can't argue with that.

The door creaks open slowly..Maka's blood turning cold..

"..He's too scary.." The girl whimpers before she leaves..leaving Maka alone to deal with whoever is about to walk into this room.

She can't see anything..the door has open but it's nothing but darkness..maybe the lights in the hallway went out?..her heart is beating so fast..it's too much-

That's when she sees it's face.

Maka screams as she falls back on her butt as this face..this face of a clown..it's crazed smile stuck on it's face..the cheek is cracked like this thing is made of glass..all she sees is the face and that's all she needs to see.

"Stay away!" She stumbles up to her feet when she notice this thing took a step closer..she keeps moving back as it keeps moving closer..

She sees it's one muscular arm..but the other one..looks like it's a large cone shaped thing..the end looks pointy..it looks sharp. It's crazy smile is growing by the minute as Maka's back hits the mirror..her legs are shaking so much.

"What's wrong? Don't you recognize me?" The clown coos as it takes another step closer.

"Fuck no." She grips the mirror..wishing she would stop shaking but she can't..she just can't.

"You've seen me before..plenty of times actually but I have many forms..I'm in many people." He sneers before he crackles madly and points at it's chest. "Do you like my flower? Why don't you come over here and sniff it!"

Maka looks down at it's chest..and for some reason her words gets caught in her throat and she feels like puking..

He has a purple flower on his chest..but why does this upset her so much?

"Do I..look familiar now?" It tilts it's head in the creepiest of ways.

"No.." Maka tries to keep her breathing in check but she can't stop shaking.

"Don't worry, you'll get very familiar with me. Your time is almost up child.." It points a odd finger down..and when Maka looks down..she's wearing that dress with the hour glass on it..the sand is half way fallen down now..a panic raises in her and she stops the urge to scream. " But why wait the whole time?..When you want to end it all now? Don't you want to see your mother?..She's waiting for you.."

Maka's eyes are shaking so bad..this pressure inside her is painful..and that voice inside her is screaming..cussing..her voice is too fast to understand though.

The clown's mad smile grows.

"Think about it..no more pain. No more fear. No more of not knowing..no more guilt." He adds that last part slyly and Maka tenses. "You can end it all..it's so simple. Just kill yourself. You'll be set free.."

"Like hell if I'm going to kill myself!" Maka snaps..but she hates to admit..some part of her likes the idea..The idea of no pain..of no fear..

Of no guilt.

"Either you kill yourself or someone is going to do it for you." It laughs madly. "At least if you kill yourself you choose the way to go..if someone else does it they won't be as kind."

"I'm not going to die.." She straightens up and tries to sound as strong as she can..

The clown cracks up at this, throwing it's back..it's whole body shaking.

"Not going to die! My dear that is a good one!" It keeps laughing.

"I-I'm not!" Maka grips her fist..a anger settling in her chest but also a fear..

A deep fear.

"What makes you so fucking sure I'm going to die? You don't even know me!"

"I know you..and you know me. We know each other too much really. My dear, any one with eyes can see your going to die. Your not meant to live your own life..your only meant to be life for others."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Maka's teeth chatter when the thing takes a step closer. "Stay back damn it!"

"Kill yourself now..before your life is taken for another." The clown laughs at this. "They all want your life."

"Because they hate me.." Maka thinks about Kid..thinks about Justin..

"Those are obvious choices..but your not seeing. Those two boys want your life, but they don't want to gain your life. "The clown smirks like he read her mind or something. "Many want to kill you..but only a few want your life."

"Your not making any sense." Maka grumbles.

"I'm making plenty of sense! Your just stupid!" It laughs madly causing Maka to glare at it. "You have precious..precious blood. You hold what many have searched for but have never found. You don't know what you hold, but someone else does. She wants it..really they all want it but not as much as she wants it. The only way to stop it is to kill yourself. Just a-"

"Fuck you!" Maka spats, but her body wont' stop it's shaking. "I'm not killing myself-"

"It's either you..or her..or me..or him..or him..or..hell everybody." The clown chuckles before it gives her a knowing smirk. "Or her." He points behind Maka.

She looks around at the mirror..only to see her reflection..but something is weird about it..what's so weird about it?..oh yeah..

Her reflection doesn't have any eyes.

Maka's green orbs are nothing but dark holes..but her reflection is looking at her..with a crazy smile ripped out on her face. Before Maka can move her reflection comes out of the mirror and grabs a hold of her. Maka screams and struggles but no matter what she does her reflection doesn't let go..and it's dragging her back into the mirror.

"Trust me.." She hears the clown coo behind her as she punches her reflection in the face..but it keeps laughing..keeps dragging her..most of Maka's hand is in the mirror like it leads to another dimension..Fuck, she's seen the movie 'Mirrors' it's not fucking good to be dragged in by your fucking crazy reflection..Maka's giving it all she has to get away.. "It would be better for you if you just ended it now. You wouldn't be able to hurt anyone anymore..and you would ruin her plans."

Maka rips out of her reflection's grip and turns to run out of this place..to run away from her but..when her eyes fall on the clown..everything stops.

Crona stands in front of her..half of his face is done like a clown..the other side is normal. He wears the same mad smile of the clown..one of his eyes looking like it's made of glass while the other one is the eye she knows and loves.

"Crona.." She says his name in a whisper..a deep dread gripping her heart.

He only smirks at her.

That's when arms wrap around her waist and pull her back into the mirror..she grips onto the frame of the mirror, the only thing keeping her from completely being dragged down..but her fingers are starting to slip one by one as her body is pulled to go down..

"Good bye little one." Crona gives her a wave..that smile never leaving his face.

Maka screams as her last finger slips..and she's dragged into the mirror. She continues to scream and kick out, wanting to be out of here, wanting to be away from her reflection..Maka gives the person behind her a good elbow to the gut and she lets go..Causing Maka to fall straight down into whatever the hell she's falling into..

She hits the ground hard and cries out in pain as she rolls a couple feet before coming to a stop. Maka doesn't get up..she just keeps her face in the ground, her body limp. She doesn't want to get back up..why the hell should she? Nothing makes sense..and that boy that shot himself-

"Hey." Maka feels something cold brush past her. "Hey, you dead?"

Maka groans slightly but looks over to see that little girl looking down at her with those dull eyes..Maka's chest hurts again..it hurts so much to see her and Maka hates it.

"..." She doesn't respond. She just lays her head back on the ground, feeling empty again.

"Are you really giving up?" The girl sighs. "I didn't even do anything like I wanted to do yet!"

When Maka doesn't respond the girl grumbles.

"You suck you know that? If you die, I don't know where else I'm going to go! I don't even know where I'm suppose to go!" The girl seems a little frantic now.

"I'm not giving up." Maka snaps. "I'm just..tired."

The girl looks at her a moment before giggling..Maka having to raise her eye brow at her.

"That's funny."

"That I'm tired?" Maka raises an eye brow at how the girl giggles some more about that.

"Oh you'll get why that's funny soon!" The little girl wipes a fake tear from her eye.

"I don't think so-"

"I'm out of here." The girl disappears.

Maka raises an eye brow but just sighs as she forces herself up and looks around to see where she is now. It looks like another empty room. Maka sighs again as she walks to the middle of it..just looking around for anything interesting or..a way out.

She sees a door on her left and her heart raises in hope. Here we go, she can finally get out of her-

"Ahhhhhh!" The door burst open with someone running into the room..they're caught on fire..their body literally a fire ball.

"Fuck!" Maka runs away from this person but..then she sees who it is..

It's Ragnarok.

The raven haired boy is on fire..a cross seems to be melted into his skin..his face is nothing but pain as he cries out, running around trying to get the fire out.

"Ragnarok!" Maka screams in alarm as she runs over to him..not sure what she's going to do but-

"It burns! It fucking burns!" He screams and then..

He grabs a hold of her..the flames of his body spreading to her..he's catching her on fire but he won't let her go no matter how much she screams.

Ragnarok's screams are always louder..he's drowning out her cries of pain as the fire melts her body..the boy's hands on her shoulders have melt into her flesh so he's touching her bone..it hurts so much..it burns so much but no matter what she does she can't get him off.

"I'm not a demon!" He screams desperately into her face..

The fires devours the both of them..swallowing them whole.

---

Maka screams as she sits up from her bed, her eyes wide, and her body sweating so badly. She looks at her body frantically to see if it's melting but..she's fine. Her skin isn't melting. She isn't on fire..she's in her bed. Only when her eyes fall on Crona who is asleep next to her does she finally let out a sigh of relief and places a hand to her heart..

It was a dream..it all was just a horrible..horrible dream..it didn't mean anything..it's ok..Crona's here..he's fine..it's ok...Ragnarok's not on fire he-

Maka's eyes widen a bit as she looks around. No one is in the room with them..Ragnarok isn't here..and for some reason this really, really bothers her. Maybe it's because of the dream she just had about him..but she feels like something is wrong..that something might have happened to Ragnarok..

"Ragnarok." She calls just to make sure..he always comes when he calls her, of course he grumbles about it but he always comes..

Maka waits for the raven haired boy to show up, unharmed and grumbling about her calling him like some 'love sick puppy' he had called her once.

She waits..

And she waits..

But Ragnarok never shows.

Maka feels a dread grip her heart and ever so carefully she gets out of bed, climbing over Crona making sure she doesn't step on him..she doesn't want to wake him up. He's been through a lot..he deserves his rest and with how dark it looks..she can tell it's still night. It's probably like 3 or 4..she usually wakes up from nightmares around that time for some reason.

Crona doesn't even more..even when she steps on his foot as she gets off the bed. He doesn't even flinch. Maka studies the boy to make sure he's still alive..and when she sees his chest move slowly Maka sighs in relief and gives him a light kiss on the forehead. Even with the knowledge of Crona being ok..this dark feeling of dread doesn't leave..

Because Ragnarok isn't ok..

She doesn't know if she's right but..she won't be able to sleep feeling this way. She has to find him, to make sure this feeling is for no reason other then that stupid dream she had.

Maka grips her fist as she makes her way out of her room..trying hard not to think that she did the same thing in her dream..but this is different. Crona is asleep on the bed..and he's ok..

But now she's looking for Ragnarok.

Maka walks out of her room into the hallway..delighted to see all the lights are on so it's bright and not scary like her dream. She walks down the hallway calling Ragnarok's name, not really caring if she wakes Medusa or the others..she just wants to find him.

The raven haired boy never responds..Maka is getting really worried. This has never happened before..Ragnarok is always there when he's called..he's never not there..

"Who are you looking for?" A voice speaks beside her..it sounds really young.

"Ragnarok." Maka sighs as she keeps walking down this hallway, keeping her eyes peeled.

"Who's that?"

"My friend." She keeps walking, not really realizing what she's doing right now.

"The dark haired boy?..The ghost?"

"Yup him." Maka calls for Ragnarok again.

"He's down stairs."

"Gee thanks." Maka turns on her heel and starts to walk towards the stairs that lead down..that's when it hits her.

Who the fuck was she just talking to?

Maka whips around..but no one is with her..there's no one. The hallway is empty with only her standing in it. Maka takes deep breaths..and fans herself..

She's just hearing things..no biggy..

Maka thinks about Ragnarok and she forgets all about that voice. Her eyes set on fire as she takes off down the stairs..trying to sense this boy out..he has to be here right? Where the hell could he be? And why isn't he answering her calls? It's not like they had a fight-

She stops right when she gets down stairs..her eyes wide in realization..a pain in her chest.

Maka remembers the way Ragnarok wouldn't look at her after she destroyed that town..the way he kept away from her and he wouldn't speak..

What if he wants nothing to do with her?..Maybe he sees her as disgusting as she sees herself? Maybe he's hiding from her...but that doesn't sound like Ragnarok..he wouldn't hide from her, if he has a problem he handles it, he doesn't run from it..

But maybe he doesn't want to handle her..or maybe she's too much to handle..

Maka can't blame him..she killed all those people..that little girl.. She shivers at the thought and hugs herself..she's disgusting..she's so disgusting.

"This..way.." She hears that voice but Maka doesn't even look. "Hey I said this way pin head!" Maka feels something hit her in the back of her head causing her to yelp in surprise and turn around..There's nothing there but she feels like she's not alone. "What are you doing? Don't you want to find your friend?"

"..It's obvious he doesn't want to talk to me." Maka sighs and chalks up this voice as just her madness talking.

"Well I don't know about that but he looks like he's in pain." That voice mumbles. "I don't know why though..the only thing I saw on him were crosses-"

"What?" Maka's head snaps up, her eyes wide. "Where is he? Where did you see him?"

"He's out that door in the garden drenching himself with water from the pond-"

Maka takes off running at full speed, the dread coming back full force as she bangs open the door the girl was talking about with her shoulder.

"Do I get a thank you?" That little girl's voice snaps but Maka is already gone, running deeper into the garden, towards where she knows the pond is.

"Such a sweet girl." That voice chuckles in her head. "How does it feel to know you're the one that took that life?"

Maka wants to scream..but she keeps running..pushing her legs faster..she has to get to Ragnarok..think of him..don't think about the people she killed..don't think about that little girl..don't think..don't think-

Her thoughts are cut off anyway by a scream..Ragnarok's scream..not a grunt or a growl..a full out scream.

Maka's stomach turns hallow, her throat dry.. that dread making it hard to breathe. She's never heard him scream like that..he must be in so much pain..something must be horribly wrong. What's happening to him? The girl said something about crosses..but how did they get there?-

She gets to the pond and stops dead in her tracks as she takes in the raven haired boy.

"Ahhhh!" Ragnarok screams as he struggles with all the crosses that seem to be sinking into his being..there's so many of them on the boy's body..and they're melting into him. His face is nothing but pain. "It burns! It fucking burns! Get off me! Get the fuck off me!"

He runs around in circles..ripping cross, after cross off him..but Maka doesn't think the real reason he's screaming so much is the crosses themselves..she sees how his eyes are moving..but they have a far away look..like he's not really there. He looks..scared. Bad ass Fucking Ragnarok looks scared.

This snaps her out of her state of shock.

"Ragnarok!" Maka screams over him as she runs over to help..but when she goes to grab him-

He punches her in the face. The force strong enough she's knocked to the ground, the taste of blood in her mouth.

"I don't want to go back! I'm not going back! Get the fuck off me! Get off!" Ragnarok gets the last cross off of him..his being has holes in it now..and he looks so faded..but his eyes haven't lost that hazy, far away look..and he still looks..scared. "I'm not a demon! I'm not a fucking demon!"

The boy keeps screaming about not being a demon..his body is getting so faded..he's about to disappear..his face is a grimace like he's still in pain even if the crosses are off him.

"Ragnarok!-" Maka gets up and grabs a hold of him before he can punch her away..at the contact his piercing blue eyes lock onto hers..

Something sharp hits her brain..a fuzziness blocks her vision..

It all melts away. it melts away into something darker.

---

Maka blinks as she stares at the large, creepy house in front of her..as she takes in this small garden she's in and the moon that's shining above her. Maka's eyes fall on the boy in front of her..and she frowns.

Ragnarok is chopping wood, his shirt off, the boy's back muscles moving with each swing he makes. His breathing is uneven and his body is drenched in sweat.

Maka's frown deepens..

Even though it's night time he's still out here doing this work..and by how much he's sweating..he's been out here for awhile. Maka walks slowly over so she can see his face..

Damn, he is pissed.

Ragnarok's eyes are that black, matching the darkness around him as he hacks away at the wood, muttering things under his breath that she can't understand. His face is in a scowl, his lips in a snarl. The boy's black hair is slicked to his face, his jeans falling dangerously low showing off the lines of his hips and the nice patch of dark hair going down his navel to his boxers. He doesn't seem to care about this though..Maka's pretty sure his pants could fall completely down and he would continue to hack.

He's that pissed.

You know that moment when your just so mad that you don't even know what your doing? What your saying? You just kind of blank out? Well Maka can tell this is the state Ragnarok is in..he's so hateful..so angry.

"Fucking..asshole.." Ragnarok growls out as he chops another piece of wood, his breathing jagged. "He thinks..he's fucking smart..sending me a fucking letter with out a..address..oh your fucking clever dad..your so fucking clever. You shouldn't tease me asshole..your going to regret it fucker!"

He starts mumbling things again that she can't understand..but Maka notices something. Next to the boy on the ground is pieces of paper..it looks like it was a letter..the hand writing is neat..and she can only make out the first sentence from here..

"I'm sorry." She reads it softy.

"Fucking send me a letter saying sorry..but your to much of a fucking pussy to tell me where you are! Because you know I'm going to fucking kill you! I'm going to fucking chop your head off for what you did to mom you sick bastard!" Ragnarok roars as he chops down one final time with all his strength..

The wood gets cut in half and his ax sinks in the tree trunk holding the wood deeply it's such a forceful hit.

"Arghh!" Ragnarok growls in frustration as he throws his ax..it getting stuck into the shed but he doesn't seem to care. The boy breathes out of his nose, sounding like a bull. His face is red and he looks about ready to explode on anyone and anything. He glares darkly at the ax that he thrown..his black eyes having a far away look to them as he thinks about something..

"Fuck.." He sighs and runs a hand through his dark hair, his other hand pulls up his pants. He holds his head in his hands..his hair falling down across them as he takes deep breaths trying to regain himself. "I can't deal with all this shit..fuck you dad..just fucking fuck you to hell."

Maka feels something tug at her chest..Ragnarok is angry..but he also sounds..hurt. She doesn't like seeing him in this state..she would rather see him destroying something..but now he's slumped, holding his head in his hands..and by the way his body shakes..she can tell he's close to just losing it. Maka walks closer..reaching a hand out..wanting to touch him, to comfort him-

"..I know what I'm going to do.." Ragnarok suddenly looks up, glaring at a tree, a fire in his eyes. "I'm going to fucking find you dad..your fucking dead.."

Though Maka is happy that Ragnarok seems to have regained himself..she can't help but to be..a little more then alarmed when she looks behind the raven haired boy.

There's..hooded figures a few feet away from him..there has to be about..damn 20? Maybe more and Maka can't see any of their faces..some are holding candles, others crosses..things that seem to be leaking some kind of gas..and one is holding a bat. Maka doesn't like this. She doesn't like this feeling in her chest. They take a step closer and she loses it.

"Ragnarok! Look behind you!" Maka tries to shake the boy, tries to get his attention so he can see that he's about to get attacked..but Ragnarok keeps mumbling to himself about his father..he doesn't notice the group of people creeping up on him..he doesn't realize the danger he is in.

This is horrible..it's like watching a scary movie..you know when you see something behind the character and you start screaming at that person to turn around..but they can't hear you. You can't do anything to help someone in a movie..all you can do is watch..and that's how it is with Maka right now. But watching a movie is one thing..to watch somebody you know about to get hurt..and you can't do anything to help..it's horrible.

Maka feels helpless.

The group of hooded figures are getting closer to Ragnarok..Maka can't change this..whatever is about to happen..she can't change it..this is a memory..it already happen..But she feels the fear in her heart and she never stops screaming..never stops trying to get him to turn around, to run away from this place.

The hooded figure with the bat gets right behind Ragnarok..but he steps on a branch, making a cracking sound. The raven haired boy tenses and whips around..but it's too late. The hooded figure hits Ragnarok right in the head with the bat..and it's not a soft hit, it's hard. Maka hearing the sickening crack as Ragnarok stumbles back, his eyes rolling as he falls to the ground..that cheap shot knocked him out..

Maka feels so pissed off..she tries to tackle the guy with the bat but she only goes through him..this isn't fair..they snuck up on Ragnarok and hit him in the head with a fucking bat..Maka has a feeling though..things are about to get much worse.

"Hurry up and tie him up before he comes to! The boy has a hard head!" That bat hooded figure barks out..and Maka can tell it's a man..and he sounds familiar.

"No!" Maka screams at these people as the hooded figures with the rope rush over-

"No." A voice speaks up and the hooded figures stop to look back..Maka feels sick as that woman..the crazy bitch walks up with her hood down..looking at Ragnarok with cold eyes. "Pick him up. We're taking him in the forest. We should have enough time to tie him up there. The forest is the only way we can get rid of such a demon."

All the hooded figures seem to agree with her because they nod and a couple go over to Ragnarok and pick him up..the raven haired boy groaning in response..his blood staining his bare chest as they hold him in a uncomfortable manner..his back is being twisted.

"M-Mom?" A shaky voice squeaks out behind that woman. The crazy bitch turns to look behind her..and Maka's able to see the little boy Justin staring at all the hooded figures with big, scared eyes..but when his eyes fall on Ragnarok..he starts to shake. "..W-What's going on? Who are these people? W-What are you doing with uncle?"

"Ah Justin..still awake when your suppose to be asleep I see." Her eyes narrow and Justin tenses badly. "You seem to be disobeying me more and more..but this is a good thing. You have to see this..to see what happens to sinners." The woman walks over and grabs Justin by the arm roughly before looking over at the other hooded figures. "Let's go..we have a demon to deal with..and the full moon is out. This is the time."

All these people start to walk towards the forest they have behind this creepy house...they move slowly... Justin is trembling as he's pulled along roughly by his crazy mother..her eyes glare forward. Ragnarok groans..and twitches in the people that are holding him arms' but..he doesn't get up..

This is going to be bad..she knows it's going to be bad..she doesn't want this to happen..she doesn't want to be here..

But her legs carry her forward..and she follows after them in this dark forest..the moon casting eery shadows over the figures as they move as a unit, deeper, and deeper into this forest. Maka keeps by Ragnarok..trying to touch him, to wake him up..but the raven haired boy is hurt..he got a bad hit to the head and even if he got his consciousness back..she knows he will be out of it. Justin watches as Ragnarok's blood leaks from his head..and the boy's eyes get watery..his teeth chattering.

What the hell are they going to do to him?..this can't be where Ragnarok dies right?..no..Medusa killed him..so what are they going to-

Suddenly the hooded figures stop walking, breaking Maka's thoughts. They seem to be in a clearing in the forest..there's wood already piled together, prepared for a fire..and there's two trees in front of them..and in between them, on the ground, is a symbol of a cross in the dirt. There's containers all around this clearing and it smells like incense..

There's blood.

Blood on the trees..on the symbol on the ground..this place has been used before..for what ever the hell they're about to do to Ragnarok.

Maka feels sick.

"W-What is this place?" Justin stammers out, goose bumps on his body as he asks the question Maka was thinking herself.

"This is a place of redemption Justin. A holy place of purification." The woman has a crazed look in her eyes as she looks down at her son. "Remember this place my boy..remember what we do here..and then you'll never disobey god like this boy has. He is a demon and we are going to fix him."

"F-Fix?" Justin swallows as he watches the hooded figures carry Ragnarok over to the two trees..they set his limp body down so he's kneeling down on the symbol with the cross..

"Yes fix.." The woman sighs. "It's a hard job but someone has to do it. What would these poor souls do with out me?"

"He's starting to wake up!" One of the hooded figures speaks frantically when Ragnarok's body makes a jerk, his eyes fluttering open but they're not focused yet.

"Hurry up!" That woman growls and they do.

The hooded figures quickly tie Ragnarok up so his hands are held above his head..rope already tied on the trees they use to tie his wrists..so his arms are separated and above his head..his body positioned like Jesus on the cross.

"Start the fire!" The woman barks out and someone gets to work on the large pile of branches with a match..soon the hole pile is cracking with bright flames..all the hooded figures shadow's being cast..making this scene all the more disturbing.

"Your not going to hurt him are you?" Justin fiddles with his hands..watching with large eyes as Ragnarok groans..coming to.

The woman doesn't respond to him.

That's when Ragnarok lets out a loud groan..his eyes finally focusing but they still look hazy..his face a grimace.

"Ow my fucking head where-" The raven haired boy stops talking when he tried to move his hands..only to find he can't. He looks up and sees how he's tied up and starts to struggle with his restraints..but he's having trouble..his moves are still groggy. "What the fuck is this?!" Ragnarok looks around at all the hooded figures with piercing eyes..till his eyes fall on the woman..and they widen. "..You? What the fuck are you-"

"You shouldn't cuss. Now I'll have to purify you more." The woman holds out her hand. "Bible." She commands.

A hooded figure walks over to her and places a bible in her hand..she flips it open to a page..it isn't marked she just knows where the page is she's read it so fucking much. "Speak your name demon."

"What the hell are you talking about? What the fuck is this?! Why am I tied up? And why the fuck does my head hurt like this?" Ragnarok growls as he struggles with his restraints..but it's all in vain. "Let me the fuck go!"

"I'll ask you once more to speak your name."

"You know my fucking-"

"Seems the demon wants to do it the hard way." The woman looks over at the other hooded figures..and Maka can see how those crazy eyes shine in delight. "You know what to do."

All the hooded figures start to move around..each seeming to prepare something.

"Are father who art in heaven hallow be thy name.." The woman begins as she walks up to Ragnarok and puts her hand on his head, which he thrashes at her trying to get her off. "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day..our daily bread." The hooded figures surround Ragnarok..a couple push Justin closer even with how much he's trembling already. "And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us but lead us not into temptation, deliver us from evil..amen."

They all stare at Ragnarok expectantly..waiting for something.

"Fucking untie me you crazy bitch!" Ragnarok snarls, finally thrashing enough she takes her hand off his head.

"Do it." The woman commands the others as she walks over and grabs a hold of Justin..

The hooded figures walk over towards Ragnarok..some are moving those things that hold gas around..Maka realizing they hold incense while others hold containers of something out.

"What the hell is that?" Ragnarok coughs at the incense...he keeps struggling with his restraints..but his face is nothing but a wince and his body is still sluggish..Ragnarok isn't all the way there.

The hooded figures take a deep breath..before they start to chant..Maka can't understand what they're saying..but it's low and creepy.

"What the fuck-" Ragnarok gets slapped with water as one of the hooded figures sprinkles some of the water in his container at Ragnarok.

"Begone demon! Go back to hell! Go back to Devil!" They chant as they all start to throw water at Ragnarok..the boy is choking because at how fast they're throwing it at him..they're not giving him time to breathe. Ragnarok keeps struggling..but it's no use.." Get out you demon of profanity! Get out you demon!"

The woman watches as the boy struggles to breathe for awhile before she puts a hand up..and they stop with the water.

"Are you done fighting god?" The woman walks over to Ragnarok that's panting to catch his breath, water dripping from his wet bangs.

"You're a fucking crazy bitch!" Ragnarok screeches when he regains himself, and he tries to rip his wrist from the rope..but it just digs tighter into his flesh.

"He's still a demon. He hasn't submitted to us." The woman sighs as she looks over at the hooded figures. "Holy water has failed..let us mark his body. We will mark his body with Christ."

The hooded figures start to say a odd chant under their breaths..moving around Ragnarok in a circle..before they stop and a hooded figure steps forward holding up a dagger to the sky.

"Oh lord in heaven, blest this dagger that it may rid this demon. Cleanse the sins of the wicked and save this poor soul." The man with the dragger after saying this prayer takes a step closer towards Ragnarok.

"You better back the fuck back with that." Ragnarok glares darkly at this man, his eyes turning black-

"Demon! Demon! He's calling on the powers of Satan!" A hooded figure shouts at seeing his black eyes..they start throwing the water at him again..and while he's struggling with that, the man with the dagger walks up and places the tip of the blade on his chest.

"I mark your heart." The man makes a small cross with the knife..it's barely piercing the skin but still. Ragnarok roars, thrashing around madly but he can't get out..he can't escape.

Justin tries to turn away..but his mother grabs him and turns his head so he's watching this.

"Remember this Justin..Remember what happens to sinners." She speaks lowly..Justin has tears in his eyes.

"I mark your hands as a symbol of Christ. I mark your stomach..your feet.." The man with the dagger keeps making those cross cuts on Ragnarok's body..they're shallow but they still bleed sightly. All the hooded figures stop throwing holy water at Ragnarok..the boy taking deep breaths of air as he glares so darkly..his eyes still that black. "..It doesn't seem to be working.."

"Mark his face." That woman commands.

"Ah yes." The man walks closer..the blade pointing out towards Ragnarok.

"Get the fuck away from me!" Ragnarok roars as he thrashes, moving his head when ever the man would try to touch him with the blade..but soon hooded figures grab his head and hold it in place.

"Now stay still..this won't hurt." The man moves slowly towards Ragnarok's nose..the raven haired boy is breathing heavily at it..his eyes wide and alert as he watches the tip of the blade get closer to his face..

The man places the tip of the blade on his nose..and is about to make a small cross there..a small cross that probably would have healed but..

"I said get the fuck off me!" Ragnarok kicks out, kicking the man in the leg and getting him to slice down..

The cross became a X instead of a cross..and it's deep..the blood oozes out of Ragnarok's face as he yells in pain..so much blood is falling that Maka can't even really see the cut it's self. The man stumbles back..and drops the dagger..he looks at this shaking hands..and though Maka can't see his face..she can tell this man feels guilt..or at least ashamed about this.

"You hurt him!" Justin cries in alarm at all the blood and the look on Ragnarok's face.

"Hell hurts worse." The woman walks up to the pissed of Ragnarok..he's breathing so heavily..his hands gripped into fists above his head. "That looks like it hurts-"

"No shit bitch!" Ragnarok's voice is so dark..his eyes on fire as his blood keeps falling from his nose. " What the hell is wrong with you?! Your all fucked up in the head!" Ragnarok winces at talking..he's in a lot of pain..and Maka knows he's trying to act like he's not..she also sees that look in his eyes..

"Now, now..I wouldn't go that far. We are trying to save you..you should be thanking us." The woman gets close..her face a mere inches from Ragnarok's. "Come now..stop this. All you have to do is say you believe in god..all you have to do is ask for forgiveness for your rotten soul..what do you say?"

Ragnarok spits in her face..his blood from his nose getting mixed up in it.

"Ah..I see.." The woman wipes her face before taking steps back. "..The demon is still with in you..we tried water..we tried markings..so we must rely on our last resort." The woman looks over at the other hooded figures. "Bring out the crosses."

"Are you sure about that?" The man with the dagger seems to look over at her. "..He's already lost a good amount of blood..I don't think he can make it through-"

"Would you like to join him? I'm sure you have a sin or two that you needed to be purified from.." The woman gives him a pointed stare, causing this man to tense and to shake his head.

Ragnarok pants..his blood dripping from his head and his nose..his eyes are out of focused..he's barely there but she can tell he's getting weaker..and that look in his eyes is starting to grow..

The looks of fear.

The hooded figures all pull out metal crosses..then head over to the fire..and put them in it so they get heated in the fire..before bringing them back out..they hold the ends where the fire hasn't caught yet as they surround Ragnarok.

"May fire cleanse you of your sins." They chant as one of them places a cross on his back..it burns into him and Ragnarok can't help but to cry out and thrash at the pain. Soon they're all putting these burning crosses on him..they hold them there for a moment before pulling away..leaving a black, burnt cross mark on Ragnarok's flesh.

"Fuck!" Ragnarok growls, gripping his fist so tight as he roars out as another metal cross is put on his lower back. "Fucking stop it! It fucking burns! Get it off! Get it the fuck off me!"

"Keep at it! We have the demon right where we want him!" The woman commands and they continue to put these crosses on the boy..marking him..melting his skin.

"Mom please stop! Your killing him!" Justin cries out..tears falling down his face as he tries to look away from this..but the woman pulls his face back and holds it. "Please I don't w-want to see this..I-I can't watch please!"

"No you have to see this..look at what happens to those who sin.." She holds his eyes open..the small boy trembling as he watches these people stick those hot crosses into his uncle..watches as he cries out in pain..and his skin turns dark. " Sin can only be cleansed by fire Justin..remember that. Hell is ten times worse then this and if you don't get your act together that is where your heading..do you understand me?"

Justin nods numbly..his tears falling down too fast and he's sobbing...snot running down his nose.

"I'm not a demon! I'm not a fucking demon! Get this off of me!" Ragnarok roars in pain as they press another cross on his chest..it hisses against his skin as it leaves another painful mark on him.

"He's not going to be able to take much more.." The man with the dagger urges the woman as Ragnarok cries out again..his body getting tense then limp..tense then limp as the crosses are put on him then taken off.

"..We don't want to have murder on our hands.." The woman sighs before she puts her hands up. "Stop."

The hooded figures listen..taking a step back from Ragnarok..the boy falling forward, his head bowed..the only thing holding him up is the rope holding his hands..his blood drips from his nose..and his body is covered in burn marks.

"..How sad.." The woman takes the dagger from the man and walks over to the boy who looks broken. "It seems I can't save you today..but as long as you live in my house hold I will keep trying. I can't have a damned soul in my home..and your not going to ruin my son. Your surely going to hell demon.." The woman cuts one of his hands free..before she cuts the other one.

Ragnarok falls to the ground limply..his face to the side, his nose bleeding out onto the cross symbol he's on. Maka can't tell if his chest is moving..he isn't moving..those burn marks look so bad. his bangs make a dark shadow over his eyes..

Justin has his small hands over his mouth..maybe to hold back his scream..or his loud sobbing..he looks so sacred..so terrified and hell who wouldn't be?.

"Hm? It seems we may have broken him..get him up and back into the house-" At the woman's words, the hooded figures surround Ragnarok..

The raven haired boy's eyes shoot open..they're red and blood shot as he jumps up causing a couple of the hooded figures to yelp in surprise as he runs past them..Ragnarok's run is more like a limp but he's pushing himself..slightly swaying.

"He's getting away!" A hooded woman shouts and they start to run after him-

"Let him go." Everyone turns and looks at the blonde woman who is watching the raven haired boy run away.

"But-"

"He won't come back. We have gotten rid of the demon..he won't bother me or my boy again." The woman turns and looks at Justin who looks about to break down. " Come Justin..it's past your bed time."

Maka doesn't want to stay with them anymore..she wish she could take Justin with her..but she can't. Maka runs after Ragnarok..he's not as fast as he usually is..and all she has to do is follow his trail of blood. By the time she catches up to him..Ragnarok isn't running anymore..he's limping..his breathing jagged..his body so messed up with all those burns of crosses into his skin.

"Fuck..fuck.." He gasps out..his eyes wide in that fear she's not use to..Ragnarok is afraid..he's hurt and Maka hates it. She hates those people. She hates this happened to him..and all she could do was fucking watch.

It was horrible.

"I'm not a demon..I'm not a fucking demon..that crazy bitch.." Ragnarok wheezes out as he stumbles..his blood lost getting to him. He stops for a moment to look behind him and catch his breath. When he sees no one is following him he lets out a sigh of relief but he doesn't stop limping..and he doesn't slow down.

The raven haired boy stumbles out of the forest and out onto the side walk in front of the creepy house..he starts to run again..probably afraid that those hooded figures will see him and try to get him again..only to bump into someone and growl at the pain it causes.

"Watch where the fuck your-" The brown haired boy snaps..only for his face to completely fall as he takes in his friend. "..Shit man what the fuck happened to you?"

Ragnarok takes in the brown haired boy's busted up face..how his nose is twisted at a odd angle..his cheeks bruised and his eyes black from getting beaten. The brown haired boy's shirt is ripped..and it looks like a stab wound on his shoulder..and in his arm. This boy is completely fucked up and when he talks he spits blood.

"I could ask you the same fucking question." Ragnarok grunts but it's more of a wheeze.

The boy winces at that.

"..My dad he..." The boy's brown eyes shake slightly. "..I was going to come over and..I don't know what the fuck I was thinking but..what the hell happened to you man? Your more fucked up then I am!"

"I just want to get out of here." Ragnarok doesn't look his friend in the eyes..his blood dripping on the side walk.

The brown haired boy studies him a moment before he nods.

"Come on man..we're getting the fuck out of here. We need to clean up that cut on your face." The brown haired boy grabs a hold of Ragnarok when he stumbled..he holds on to him even when Ragnarok tries to push him off. "Stop fucking doing that! I'm helping you!"

"I'm not going back..I'm never going back.." Ragnarok gives up and leans his body against the other boy's..his bangs covering his eyes.

"..I never said you had to.." The other boy starts to walk with him away from this creepy house..away from those crazy people. "..I'm not going back either. This is it..for the both of us. I got some money man..we'll get a motel tonight and then I'll talk to my pal Josh..he knows a fucking cheep apartment..we don't have to go back."

Ragnarok doesn't respond..he just walks with the other boy numbly.

"..Are you going to tell me what happened?" The other boy asks almost softly..a deep frown on his face. "What the hell did they do to you?"

"I'm not talking about it. I don't want to remember that shit.." Ragnarok's voice is dark..darker then any monsters. "Don't ask about this again."

Maka thinks the brown haired boy would get pissed at this..but he gives him a knowing look..like he knows the feeling.

"I won't if you won't ask about my dad."

"I won't."

"Good."

Maka watches these two boys help each other walk along..both fucked up..both hurt but they're helping each other walk on..Ragnarok had a true friend in this boy..she wishes she knew his name. She wishes this didn't happen to either of them..but it did..and she can't change that. Maka's left watching them leave..feeling empty in side..

That was horrible..

The last thing she sees is Ragnarok's burnt up back with all the crosses on it..

Then everything fades away.

---

Maka's eyes shoot open as her brain comes back to her..as she comes back from that place..that horrible memory of Ragnarok's.

The raven haired boy is kneeling in front of her..wait, they're both kneeling..she's holding his face in her hands..and her forehead is against his. Ragnarok's eyes are wide..full of fear..they have a far away look still..but then they refocus. His eyes meet hers.

The boy snaps.

"You fucking bitch!" Ragnarok roars as he pushes her away from him, her back skidding across the garden's ground as he stands up, such a dark look on his face. "It is you! You're the one making me remember! You made me remember-" His eyes get wide and he holds his head, letting out a growl of pain..that fear coming back to his eyes. "I didn't want to think about that..I didn't want to fucking remember that..shit..shit..Why the hell would you do that?! Do you take some joy out of seeing that shit?! Did you like seeing me fucking scream like a bitch? I bet you were fucking laughing huh? Did you fucking think it was funny when I ran away? When I couldn't do anything but be tied up and take it like a fucking bitch?! I bet you liked seeing me like that! I bet you fucking thought it was funny!" Ragnarok is fuming..his face red but at the same time..beneath the anger he seems..ashamed. "You had to fucking pry into my memories..you had to make me fucking remember that didn't you? You couldn't let me forget about all that..no you can't let me forget about any fucking thing can you? Not feelings..not wanting..not anything. So did you think that was fucking funny? Huh?! Did you?!"

"No Ragnarok I-" Maka gets up and walks towards him..only for Ragnarok to pick her up by her neck and hold her up, his grip on her cold and strong, choking her.

"You think I'm a fucking pussy don't you? Did you like seeing me fear? Do you fucking like to know that I fear? Huh? Do you?!" Ragnarok tightens his grip around her neck and she kicks out trying to get him to let go of her..but his eyes are so dark and narrow as they glare into her. "You think it's fucking ok to just barge into my memories and fish them out for me? There's a reason I didn't fucking remember them for so long, why the fuck would I want to? That's in the past..that was when I was alive I'm dead now! I'm fucking dead! I don't need to see that shit! I don't need to be reminded of my mistakes! I don't need to be reminded of that god damn night!" The boy's grip is so tight..Maka's turning blue in the face..she can't breathe..she can't disagree with him..he's going to kill her.

Ragnarok sees her blue face and the way her eyes flutter and this seems to piss him off more.

"Stop doing this to me!" Ragnarok roars as he throws her away from him, letting go of her neck she takes a greedy breath of air before it's knocked out of her when her back hits the trunk of a cherry blossom tree. The boy breaths heavily and turns his back to her..his shoulders moving up and down..his fist is gripped. "I hate you, you fucking bitch. You always do this shit. Always ruin everything! I'm like this because of you! Fuck I'm a god damn mess because of you! Because your making me remember all that shit! Now I fucking remember how I got this scar on my nose..and you know what? It fucking stings like shit right now! I remembered the feel of those damn crosses..I remember why I fucking fear them. I feel too fucking much! And it's all your fault! I'm dead! I'm fucking dead and you know what else? I'm a killer. I was made to fucking kill. You like reminding me of that? You like reminding me how messed up my fucking life was? Like reminding me that I went from one hell to another? I bet you do. I bet you fucking enjoy what your doing to me. Well fuck you Maka. You can go to fucking hell for all I care!" His voice is raising..so much darkness in his tone but..

Maka forces herself up..staring at his boy with those eyes as she bushes herself off..preparing herself for this.

"Your not a demon."

"And you fucking always-..What?" Ragnarok blinks at that statement..after him going off like that, that's what she decides to say.

"Your not a demon..and this memory I saw proves it. The crosses don't hurt you because your evil..they hurt you because you remember that time when you were burned by them..Those people were insane..Your no demon sent from hell, your Ragnarok..just Ragnarok." She takes a step closer..wanting to touch him..to comfort him with her words.

"I knew I wasn't' a fucking demon." He snaps but his eyes flash with something as he looks over at her with a dark glare. "Demon's aren't fucking pussys. Demon's aren't fucking helpless and you saw how fucking helpless I was. You fucking saw that fear I had..that I still have." His voice is so angry..and bitter..but Maka knows he's just ashamed.

"Your right. Demon's don't' fear." Maka speaks only for Ragnarok to look like he's about to kill her. "But human's do."

"What?" Ragnarok's face drops at that.

"People fear..no human being can live with out having a fear..some have big fears and some have small ones but every human fears. Ragnarok you might hate that you fear..you might be ashamed of it but that's what makes you human..that's what makes you alive-"

"But I'm not fucking alive! I'm fucking dead!" Ragnarok screeches at her..his eyes catching back on fire.

"Your not dead to me." Maka puts a hand to her heart and his scowl falls. "When I think of something dead..I think of something that is still..something that no longer feels..that is no longer there. Ragnarok your nothing like that though. You feel..you feel fear..and happiness and anger. You laugh and cuss..your there..your not gone. You might have lost your body, your body might be dead but you aren't. Your right here with me. I can touch you Ragnarok..I can feel you. Your not something dead to me..your Ragnarok."

The raven haired boy looks at her with those piercing eyes, a hand goes to his chest and he grips it before he looks away from her..his bangs covering his eyes.

"..I can't feel you alright? I can't feel fucking anything-"

"You feel pain..you feel anger and just like me, just like any other person in the world you feel fear-"

"I feel all the shit! I don't feel what I want to feel! I'm fucking dead but I feel too much and that's the fucking problem! Don't you get it? Don't you fucking understand? Feeling all that shit is pointless! It's fucking pointless when I'm dead!" Ragnarok growls at her, glaring away again.

Maka feels a pang of hurt from this..pointless huh? She grips her fist and walks over towards the boy, a glare on her face.

"You got a problem with me bitch?" Ragnarok turns towards her and glares back seeing how she's walking towards him. "You're the one that's fucking messing me up! You're the one that's-"

Maka grabs a hold of him and pulls the boy into her..her lips clashing against his, cutting off what ever he was going to say. She doesn't open her eyes..she just kisses this boy, getting goose bumps from how cold he is..but that's ok. Because it's Ragnarok. The boy tenses up badly..his breath hissing between his teeth as she pulls away and glares at him.

"Was that pointless Ragnarok? Was that- mmth!" The boy didn't let her finish going off..he just tackled her, shoving her against a tree as his lips go back to hers, kissing her deeply, his cold hands going through her hair. Maka groans into the kiss..her hands wrapping around his neck as he pushes her against this tree..it's scratching up her back but at this moment she doesn't care. This kiss he's giving her..is full of emotion. It's full of want, and need but also a passion she can't understand. She doesn't want to understand it. She just wants to feel it.

"I..I. feel.." He breaks the kiss to breathe this out to her before he goes to kissing her neck, Maka leaning her head back to give him more room but..it feels like Jack Frost himself is kissing her..but this feels good on her hot skin and she moans. "..Your warm..it's not a strong feeling but..I feel you..faintly but I feel you!" She can hear the excitement in his voice as he continues to suck on her neck, biting at it causing her to close her eyes, her breathing becoming uneven. His hands are roaming her body, making sure to feel every part of her, starting at her hair he goes down to her shoulders..runs his hands down her chest..lower to her hips before resting them there, pulling her body closer to his as he bites down on her skin, getting a rather loud moan from her.

"Is it still pointless?" Maka breathes out and the boy stops kissing her neck. He pulls away from her to stare at her with those piercing blue eyes of his. So much seems to be going behind them..he opens his mouth only to shut it.

"Just shut the fuck up." Ragnarok growls, his cheeks turning a pink before he goes back to her neck and bites down hard causing her to yelp in pain.

"D-Don't do that ass hole." Maka's breath hitches when he licks the bite he just gave her..sending chills down her spine.

"I'm going to do what ever the hell I want. You want to make me feel shit, I'm about to make you feel." Ragnarok growls into her ear as his hands go up her thigh..taking her tutu with them, exposing her snake skin underwear. She can hear the lust in his voice..the need and want..Maka shivers and this time it's not because of how cold he is. He rubs her through her panties..the cold from his fingers sinking in giving a pleasant feeling on such a heated area. Maka groans and leans her head back..the boy bites down her neck till he gets to her collar bone and sucks on it roughly..this hurts..it's like getting frost bites on her skin..

But it's a good kind of hurt.

"R-Ragnarok.." She bites back her moan as he rubs her too softly through her panties..she doesn't' want to be teased by him anymore..she wants him and sadly he can hear it all through her pleading voice.

She feels him smirk against her collar bone but he slips his fingers under her panties..and right into the spot that's aching the most. Not bothering with a warm up, he just shoves two of his fingers right in and starts pumping them in and out. Maka tenses at such a weird feeling..imagine someone sticking ice cubes up your vagina..that might not sound pleasant..but with how hot she is..it's weird but it feels kind of good. It hurts her at first but she just bares with it..soon that pain turns into pleasure and she throws her head back against the tree, not able to help her moaning..nor how loud she's being. This seems to encourage him because he pumps faster as he bites down her chest..when he gets to her beasts he kisses the part that's showing of one of them before he goes down..using his teeth he yanks down her dresses top..

Maka isn't wearing a bra. She doesn't really need one with this dress..it has one built in so it does the work for her. Her boobs are so small anyway, they don't need support, they are perked right up. That's the good thing with small tits..they don't sag. Well at least her's don't. The boy's eyes take in her perfectly round beasts with lust filled eyes..goose bumps cover them and her nipples are hard half because she's fucking cold and she's aroused. Maka's never felt so..well exposed. They're outside in a fucking garden..she hears a owl hoo..and here she is, up against a tree, her chest out and her dress up. She doesn't know what it is though..there's something oddly sexy about doing this against a tree.

Ragnarok leans in, his lips parting..Maka having to watch in slow motion as the boy's tongue comes out..licking her nipple with it in a circle. Maka gasps at the feeling of it..her eyes fluttering as he picks up the pace with his fingers going in and out of her..her stomach is tightening causing her to moan and to cling to this boy..she puts her hand through his hair and shoves his head deeper into her chest. Ragnarok's lips latch onto her nipple and he starts to suck..hard.

"O-Oh god..!" Maka cries out as he bites down on her nipple, his fingers moving in pace with his tongue. Her back arches against him and she bucks into his hand, her hips subconsciously meeting his fingers.

"Say my fucking name." Ragnarok growls against her breast before he bites down hard on her nipple, her back arching more.

"Ragnarok!" She cries out as the build up becomes too much..that growl and bite throwing her over the edge and she cums over his fingers..her body going limp against his as he pulls out his cold fingers and lets go of her nipple. Ragnarok pulls up her dress and fixes her tutu without saying a word..but when Maka leans against him he wraps his arms around her and he falls back so he's sitting against the tree, holding Maka against his chest.

His and her breathing break the silence..but they don't say anything..Maka just buries her head in his cold shoulder..taking comfort in it..the boy is quiet..though his fingers stroke her cheek absentmindedly.

"I'm sorry." Maka breaks the silence..gripping the boy's chest. Ragnarok doesn't respond so she goes on. "I'm sorry about taking your memories..I honestly don't have control of it..they just come to me sometimes when I'm sleeping and other times when I touch you I see something. I don't mean to rape your privacy..it just happens you know?"

Ragnarok still doesn't respond..but he hasn't stopped stroking her cheek so she goes on.

"If you don't mind me asking I was wondering-"

"I do mind you asking. Don't ask me anything about my past." He snaps and Maka flinches a little at how dark he sounded. They're silent a moment before he sighs. "Because what you have seen is what I have seen. I know as much as you fucking do."

"Oh.." Maka frowns at that..Ragnarok forgot everything?..So she's some how bring his memories back?..Maka doesn't know how to feel about that.

She gathers her thoughts and realizes something..she frowns deeply.

"Wait a minute.." Maka gets up from his arms and looks the boy in his piercing blue eyes. "..Ragnarok what happened to you? Why did you have all those crosses over you? Who did that to you?"

Ragnarok stares at her for a moment..a really irritated look coming on his face before he glares away from her.

"I fucking failed."

"Failed?" Maka raises an eye brow but this seems to just make him more irritated.

"I don't want to talk about it.." Ragnarok watches her open her mouth. "And if you ask about it again I'm going to fucking beat you."

"You beat me enough.." Maka winces at her sore woman hood..Ragnarok catching what she means, he smirks at her.

"That's nothing bitch if I had my body.. " His smirk falls as he trails off..he looks up at the night sky. "If I had my body a lot of things would be fucking different."

"Like what?" Maka walks so she's right beside him, looking up at the sky with him, trying to see what he's looking at.

Ragnarok looks at her from the corner of his eye..watching that cute look of curiosity grace her face..he smiles slightly.

"The list goes on." That smile falls when she looks at him. "We would be standing her for the rest of your life if I brought the list out."

"I don't think it would be much different with your body." Maka offers him a smile. "You'd still be Ragnarok..and you'd still be with us like you are now."

Ragnarok grumbles at how nice that sounds..at how cute she sounds and he glares to hide his blush.

"You're a dumb ass."

"And you're a dick."

The raven haired boy gives her his middle finger..which she gladly returns. They both can't help the smirk on their faces.

"It's funny I'm giving you this middle finger when I just finger fucked you with it." Ragnarok chuckles at how red her face gets.

"Why don't you go and finger fuck your ass with it." Maka snorts back, trying to make up for her red face.

"Oh bitch, you'd like that wouldn't you?"

"You'll like it more in my dream tonight." Maka sticks her tongue out at him, her eyes starting to droop.

"I swear if I think for one minute your making me do something like that in your dream, I'm busting in and whooping ass." Ragnarok's eye twitches at the goofy smile he gets from Maka.

"Oh you'll be 'whooping ass' alright." Maka chuckles at the shove she gets from him..but she yawns.

"I tired you out didn't I?" He smirks at her, looking at her droopy eyes.

"Yeah.." Maka admits as she falls into his arms, wrapping hers around him. She looks up at him with puppy dog eyes. "Carry me to my bed~"

"Fuck no, you have legs." Ragnarok grunts as he tries to push her off but she has a firm hold on the boy. "Stop being fucking lazy!"

"But I'm tired and my bed is so far away.." She pouts. "Come on please Ragnarok?"

"No." He states bluntly as he keeps trying to push her off.

"But..But I didn't even get that much sleep!" Maka complains.

"..Why are you up so late anyway?" Ragnarok stops pushing her to look down at her. Maka tenses.

"..I had a night mare." She admits quietly, trying not to think about it.

Maybe Ragnarok senses she doesn't want him to ask about what it is..because he asks this instead. "Why didn't you just go back to sleep?"

"Because I was worried about you.." She grips him tighter.

Ragnarok stares down at her with unreadable eyes before he sighs and puts his hand on top of her head and rubs her hair.

"Idiot. How many times do I have to tell you I'm fucking dead?"

"That's not going to stop me from worrying."

"Your stupid."

"Oh well." Maka grips him tighter. "If I'm stupid for caring about you then I must be mentally challenged."

"Yup." Ragnarok chuckles lightly at the middle finger he gets from her before he picks her up, holding her like a baby against his chest.

"Your taking me?" Maka's eyes sparkle as she looks up at the boy.

"Don't look at me like that or I'll drop your ass." Ragnarok snaps but his cheeks are pink as he starts to walk out of the garden with her in his arms. "I can't believe this shit..I could just poof back into your room if I didn't have to carry you, but no, I have to carry your fat ass up all them stairs. "He grumbles.

"You know I'm not a fat ass, I only weigh like..120 pounds." Maka grunts as he opens the door to the garden and walks back into the mansion.

"I can't tell, you feel like a fucking elephant and I should know, I was one." Ragnarok smirks as he walks down this empty hallway leading to the mansion's lobby.

"Oh yeah about that..how did it feel?"Maka looks at him with curious eyes.

"What? To be a elephant? fuck it was weird..I can't even explain that shit." Ragnarok grumbles when she giggles.

"I didn't know you could take control of animals. "Maka hums as he begins to walk up the stairs with him cradling her to his chest.

"Neither did I." Ragnarok gets a odd tone to his voice. "..We were fucking lucky at the circus.."

Maka frowns thinking about that..thinking about Kid's glare of hate..thinking about the blood..the cries of pain the-

She grips onto Ragnarok tighter..trying to bite back her whimper..

She wants to ask Ragnarok..if he thinks she's disgusting for what she's done..if he looks at her differently..but the words won't come out. She's afraid to ask him. Afraid of what he will say.

"Am I making you cold?" He walks up the last of the stairs and starts walking down the hallway that will lead to her room. His words are soft. "Your shaking."

"No..I'm fine." Maka lies. She isn't fine. She isn't at all.

Ragnarok doesn't say anything as he gets to their door, he opens it with his shoulder and carries her in. The room is dark with the exception of the glow in the dark stars on the ceiling. The door shuts behind them as he walks over slowly towards the large bed. Ragnarok's careful as he reaches over and places her over Crona, the boy is sitll knocked out, his breathing so shallow as Ragnarok places Maka next to him.

She automatically wraps her arms around Crona..her body against his back, her face in his pink hair. Every time she breathes she smells his scent..so gentle and sweet like him. He's alive..she feels his chest move against her arms.

Crona is alive..she saved him and that's all that matters right? Sure she killed all those people but..Crona's ok..and that's all that matters..

Right?

Maka's body is still shaking..this feeling hurting her chest..she can't get the damn blood out of her head..she can't get those screams out of her head..this isn't like when she killed those nurses..she hated those nurses..they were talking about her mother and she went insane. But those people at the carnival..they didn't do anything to her..and Maka wasn't completely crazy..she cast that spell..she choose to do that spell..

She killed all those people.

Maka is about to cry..she feels the lump in her throat when she feels something cold wrap around her and press against her back, causing her to gasp in surprise and look back.

Ragnarok's piercing blue eyes stare into her..his arms are wrapped around her just as she is with Crona..she being in the middle of them now. He has a odd look in his eyes as he takes her in..and he opens his mouth..

"Go to sleep." His voice is softer then usual as he turns her head away from him so she's laying back in Crona's hair..She feels Ragnarok's hands go through her hair..

Maka's eyes droop shut as she focus on Ragnarok's touches and Crona's breathing..

She's pulled into sleep..Crona's heart beat her lullaby.

Her guilt forgotten..but only for this moment.

---

Maka feels something brush against her nose..and she wiggles it in response because it itches but continues to sleep..Then it bushes her nose again...and Maka smacks at her nose trying to get it to stop..her face scrunching up in irritation. For a moment she doesn't feel it any more and she sighs in contentment.

That's when she feels something brush against her nose one more time.

"Stop it!" Maka growls as her eyes shoot open , her sleep being ruin as she glares at whatever is doing this..

Only to see the ceiling staring back at her. Nothing is touching her.. Maka frowns as she rubs her nose..and she swears she hears giggling..a little girl's giggle-

Crona lets out a yawn, snapping her attention over to the boy that is laying next to her..he's facing her now..a soft smile on his lips, his bangs in his face. Maka lets herself smile as she reaches out and tucks his bangs behind his ear, giving him a soft kiss on the forehead. The boy responds by curling up to her but he doesn't wake up. Maka gently moves him so his head is laying in her lap and she's sitting up, running her hands through his hair. Crona really must be exhausted..he's still not up..but he's breathing..and that's all that matters-

Maka hears something crash to her left and she whips her head around to see what that was. At first she doesn't see anything amiss in her room..so she slowly looks around..nothing on the left side..nothing on the right..everything's fine..but she definably heard a crash..so she looks again..nothing on the left side..noting on the right-

She sees someone standing in the corner. Maka starts but when she blinks..that person is gone. Her heart is beating so fast..wasn't' there-

"Hey bitch your up-" Ragnarok suddenly appears right in her line of vision and Maka can't help but to scream in fright, thinking this is that person she just saw. "Whoa what the fuck is up with you?" Ragnarok tenses a bit at the random out burst.

"I.." Maka takes a deep breath and lets it out regaining herself. Her gaze skits away from him. "..Ugh nothing..just kinda jumpy I guess."

"I wouldn't say fucking kind of." Ragnarok studies her. "..You alright? You look fucking pale as shit."

"I'm fine." Maka sighs.

"..Did you have another nightmare?" He says this a bit more softly.

"I said I'm fine!" Maka snaps at him, sounding a bit more harsh then she wanted to..but damn it, she doesn't want to talk about the nightmare..she doesn't want to think about it.

"Well damn!" Ragnarok puts his hands up in mock defense and glares at her. "Don't have to be a bitch about it."

Maka glares at him..only for her to sigh..giving up. She doesn't have that fighter spirit in her for some reason.

"I'm sorry." She looks away from him..causing her not to see how his face falls at how soft her voice is.

"Hey-" Ragnarok starts but he's cut off with the door opening..Eruka and Free walking in , Eruka with a smile, Free with that annoying grin. Ragnarok sends them a glare.

"Lady Maka!" Eruka hums as she does a little bow in front of her. "I heard of your bravery and cunning! You took out a whole circus of witch hunters! That's amazing! Did you know that one of those circus people killed one of my friends? You killed him for me! Along with the rest of them! You are truly amazing!" She's bouncing, she sounds so happy.

"And damn I heard you fucking blew up the rest of the carnival to! You cut everything in fucking half! Now if that's not bad ass I don't know what is!" Free grins at her with that stupid grin.

They're trying to be nice she guesses..but it doesn't make her feel awesome..their words make her feel like shit and she sinks deeper into the bed..Maka fakes a smile but she knows it doesn't reach her eyes.

"Yeah, yeah. You two came in here being ass holes now get the hell out." Ragnarok growls at the two.

"Whoa! chill out there. We're just congratulating the little lady." Free puts up his hands.

"She doesn't need congratulating. Fuck off and take a flea bath Free." Ragnarok gives him his middle finger.

"Ohh you want to go!" Free growls..his face a snarl..and for some reason..it looks like his face is slowly turning into something not human at all, his teeth getting bigger-

"Free it's stupid to get in a fight with a ghost." Eruka puts her hand on his shoulder and sighs. "You can't win. He's already dead."

"Yeah your already dead." Free repeats like a child as he goes back to normal.

"Keep talking and you'll be fucking joining me." Ragnarok glares darkly.

"Anyway!" Eruka cuts off Free when he was about to say something back. She smiles at Maka, those cute dots on the corner of her lips going up. "We also came to tell you that Medusa wants you to take this day off to rest while she's out doing some investigating..Lady Medusa has been working hard to find this witch that has put this curse on you Maka..she's putting herself in grave danger to help you." She adds seriously but she smiles again. "You have today to rest. Enjoy it how you want." Eruka's eyes fall on Ragnarok..and something flashes through them. "Oh and Ragnarok..Medusa wants to see you."

Maka catches how the raven haired boy tenses at that..

"Tell Medusa that Ragnarok is staying with me for the day." Maka blurts out getting Eruka to look back at her. She doesn't want him to leave..not after she was afraid about losing him just last night. Also..she has odd feeling.

"B-But lady Maka..Lady M-Medusa wants-" Something flashes through the girl's dark eyes and she calms down. "Never mind..she seems fine with this.." Eruka sounds uncertain through.

"Good." Maka grunts as she runs her hands through Crona's hair..looking down at the boy who is sleeping so calmly in her lap.

"Before we go..Lady Medusa wishes to give you a gift for doing such a good job yesterday." Eruka smiles again as she snaps her fingers. Maka looks down..in her hand is a snow globe..of the fucking carnival..it even has the circus tent and the 'bone crusher' roller coaster. " Enjoy your day off Lady Maka." Eruka gives her a bow before she grabs Free who is still glaring at Ragnarok and walks out with him.

"..What the fuck is she doing..?" Ragnarok growls as he looks at the snow globe..his voice dripping venom. He's pissed off.

Maka only stares at the snow globe blankly..her eyes not giving away how she's feeling as she shakes it slightly..watching as the snow floats all over the carnival. Her eyes flash as she sees the real carnival..it's in ruin..everything destroyed..blood covering the concrete flooring, the rubble scattered everywhere, the limbs and guts decorating this carnival..this carnival of the dead..then she sees those dull eyes of death-

She grips the snow glob before she lets out a growl and throws it as hard as she can against the wall..the glass shatters and the water falls out along with the snow as the rest of it falls to the ground. Maka stares at the broken carnival..she broke it just like she broke the real one. She-

"..Maka." Ragnarok gives her a look..and she can't make what it means..he seems concerned though.

"It was a stupid gift." Is all she says.

"You-"

"Crona hasn't woken up yet..I hope he will soon." Maka cuts him off, looking down at the other boy.

Ragnarok stares at her a moment..before sighing in defeat.

"Yeah.."

"We should do something fun." Maka chimes trying to sound cheerful so Ragnarok will stop looking at her like he is. "Like play a game or go outside or-"

She's cut off by a yawn from below her. Maka looks down to see Crona shift a bit..before his eyes flutter open..his pale blue eyes meet hers..and she feels her heart skip a beat.

"M-Maka.." Crona smiles at her and gently touches her cheek. "Y-you did it..y-you saved me."

"I told you I would." Maka puts her hand over his and actually smiles..so happy he's alive.

"I-I never d-doubted you." He nuzzles into her stomach happily.

"How do you feel?" Maka moves his bangs out of his face again.

"Um..t-tired still..a-and my body feels really sore." Crona groans and rubs his head. "I-It feels like I just g-got done running a marathon."

"Well damn you must really feel like shit considering you can't run a mile with out complaining." Ragnarok grunts and smirks at the middle finger he gets from Crona..

Maka's smile grows..everything is back to normal..Ragnarok being an ass..Crona being Crona..it's all good.

"Aw I'm sorry..I would try to make you feel better but I'll be honest..I'm completely out of power..I know if I would try I would just have a rebound." Maka frowns slightly. She really is pooped..yesterday took all her power from her.

"It's ok M-Maka I don't want you to push yourself anymore! G-Gah rebounds are the worse! I-I'm ok really." Crona gives her a smile to prove his point but when his eyes fall on her neck..his smile falls completely. He gets this dark look to his eyes..they get dilated as he stares at her neck. Ragnarok tenses as he sees what Crona's looking at..and he takes a cautionary step forward.

"..Is there something on my neck?" Maka blinks as she tries to wipe what ever it is off..

"O-Oh no." Crona regains his smile again..but that dark look never leaves. "T-There's nothing there."

Ragnarok gives him a look but doesn't say anything.

"So what do you want to do? We have the day off." Maka adds cheerfully as she helps Crona sit up..the boy winces but that's about it.

"U-Um..maybe something t-that I can stay i-in bed..if that's o-ok with you Maka! I-I mean I can get up if you want me to I-" He starts to freak out only for Maka to put a finger to his lips, silencing him.

"No, I don't want you to get out of bed." She gives him a wink and the boy flusters, his mouth opening. "So we're going to watch some awesome YouTube videos!" Maka looks over at Ragnarok. "Turn on the play station three and hand me a controller."

"Oh hell no-"

"Please?" She gives him a sweet look. Ragnarok growls but he marches over to where the system is.

"Are y-you ok Maka?" Crona rubs her shoulder gently, looking at her with concern. " Y-Yesterday was pretty rough.."

"I'm fine." She lies again. She's not fine.

"..D-Do you w-want to talk about it?" Crona gets closer..his voice so soft and full of care that she melts into it but..she cant tell him..she can't talk about it.

"Nah, I'm fine." Maka chuckles when she feels like crying.

She isn't fine.

"If anything i-is bothering you I'm always here for y-you." Crona blushes at his words but he looks at her so seriously.

"I know you are Crona..thank you.." She leans in and gives him a soft kiss on the lips. The boy tenses but quickly melts into her, kissing her back with those warm lips..those nice lips..

Maka's slightly surprised she hasn't heard his voice in her head yet but..she doesn't make anything from it.

"Here's your fucking controller." Ragnarok throws it and it hits Crona's ass causing him to squeak into her kiss. "Damn my aim is off..or it's that your ass takes up fucking all the space Crona."

"D-Don't t-talk about it!" Crona pouts, his face red as he sits back up to protect his butt from any other violation. "I-I swear I'm going t-to get a butt reduction-"

"You can't!" Maka cuts him off, her eyes wide causing the boy to twitch with a 'gah!' "I love your ass!"

"But i-it's too big.." Crona mumbles, his face getting redder.

"No it's not-"

"Yes it is." Ragnarok grunts getting him a middle finger from Maka.

"Don't listen to him, he loves your ass just as much as I do..maybe even more."

"M-M-More?!" Crona squeaks. "H-How is that e-even possible! Y-You like..s-sing about my butt all the time and g-gah talk about it! If R-Ragnarok likes it more then w-what does he do?"

"He jerks off in secert to your glorious ass."

"Bitch shut the fuck up! " Ragnarok's eye twitches at how Crona is giving him a cautious eye. "One, I fucking don't like this bitches ass. Two, I cant even jerk off bitch!"

"If you could, you would and you would jerk off to Crona's-"

"G-Gah! D-Don't say it again!" Crona tugs at his hair in distress. "I-It's hard to deal with..y-your thing with my butt b-but not Ragnarok too!"

"I don't like your fucking ass!" Ragnarok growls, marching over with his eyes on fire.

"Look at the fire in his eyes..the passion in them..the passion for your ass Crona."

"Bitch I'm going to fucking kill you-"

"Now we could all sit her and talk about how bangable Crona's ass is but lets get YouTube up!" Maka smirks at Ragnarok before she grabs the control and starts pressing buttons. "Funny internet videos~"

"T-That sounds good." Crona sighs in relief at the conversation being taken off his ass.

"Whatever." Ragnarok grunts as he flops down beside her, looking at the TV with his arms crossed.

"What should we watch.." Maka thinks for a moment before her eyes light up. "Omg! I know!" Maka types something in the search engine.

"Salad fingers?" Ragnarok blinks. "What the fuck is that?"

"G-Gah! P-People actually have salad as fingers? B-But what if they ate the salad then..o-oh god they would eat their fingers!" Crona grips onto Maka tightly.

"This video is hilarious..and don't worry Crona it's not real." Maka pushes the play button, the video taking up the whole big screen TV. It starts off with a tall odd looking green man just standing with a smile on his face, arrow pointing to him introducing him as salad fingers.

"Hello.." The man breaths heavily as he starts to rub his long finger against a spoon. "I like rusty spoons." He giggles. "I like to touch them..the feeling of rust against my salad fingers.. is almost orgasmic-"

At this point Maka is cracking up, both Ragnarok and Crona giving each other a look.

"What the fuck is this shit?" Ragnarok gives the man on the screen a odd look. "Who the hell gets a orgasm from touching spoons?"

"M-Maka what's so funny a-about this?" Crona frowns when Maka laughs louder.

"Yeah this shit is creepy..I mean what the hell."

"Oh come on guys lighten up! It's so weird that it's funny!" Maka gives them a smile.

"Your so fucking weird that it's funny." Ragnarok scoffs.

"Aw come on Ragnarok..'the feeling of rust on my salad fingers..is almost orgasmic'.." Maka repeats the man's words in a cracky voice like his as she reaches out her index finger to touch his face.

"Bitch get that fucking finger out of my face." Ragnarok smacks her hand away..but she can see that smirk ghosting his lips at how ridiculous she sounds.

'I-I think there's more to the video." Crona tugs on Maka's dress getting both Ragnarok and Maka to look at the screen. The odd man is walking towards a messed up looking house now..

"What the fuck we miss?" Ragnarok raises an eye brow.

"He s-said something about finding the perfect s-spoon..n-now shush." Crona leans closer towards the screen, his eyes glued onto it.

"Someone likes salad fingers."Maka chuckles.

"Your both fucking weird."

"S-Shush!"

The man, salad fingers, rings the door bell in the video..then he rubs his finger against it and lets out a moan.

"Ok seriously what the fuck-"

"S-Shush Ragnarok s-some little guy answered the door!"

"Yeah Ragnarok he just finds it 'orgasmic.' " Maka says the last word weird in the crackly voice again getting his eye to twitch.

"Hello there young child. I'm here to enquire about your spooons?" Salad fingers tilts his head at the little yellow guy that answered the door.

"Damn that yellow thing looks fucking scared. He should just slam the door right in his face." Ragnarok grunts as the yellow guy opens his mouth, a odd sound coming out of it as his head is lifted off his shoulders and placed back again. Salad fingers only laughs. The scene changes to Salad fingers walking into the house..with this creeper walk.

"He actually let that guy into his house? What a fucking dumb ass." Ragnarok scoffs.

"H-He just wants s-some spoons Ragnarok." Crona gives him a look.

Salad fingers starts breathing heavily for no reason.

"Oh yeah he just wants some fucking spoons yet he's looking like a fucking psycho killer." Ragnarok grunts. "Just seriously what the hell am I watching?."

"Awesomeness.' Maka is still laughing about the video getting his eye to twitch.

"This isn't fucking funny-"

"S-shush! i-it's almost over!"

"Crona this is fucking-"

"S-Shush!"

"Oh hell."

"Might I ask where you keep the spoons?" Salad fingers asks this little yellow guy with his eyes getting half lidded. The yellow guy only makes that creaking sound again in response. "I see...then I must leave but first..I'd like to caress this rusty kettle." Salad fingers points to a kettle on the counter before he starts to stroke it with his fingers letting out a moan.

The video ends.

"That was the weirdest shit.." Ragnarok just stares at the black screen. "Who the hell thinks of that?"

"Someone with awesome creativity." Maka chuckles as she exits out of the video.

"I-I liked it..s-salad fingers seems l-like a good guy..h-he's just miss understood." Crona grabs her hand and gives her a squeeze.

"Oh I understand him perfectly. He's a fucking creeper guy that gets off by touching rusty metal. There's nothing to miss understand." Ragnarok gives Crona a look.

"I thought it was funny." Maka buts in with a chuckle.

"That wasn't fucking funny!"

"Now for something awesome.." Maka types something in.

"'Alice the human sacrifice'?" Ragnarok raises an eye brow.

"G-Gah that sounds scary." Crona frowns as she presses play.

"It's in japanese but I love this song. I really like the story with it..it's so dark and mysterious that it's fascinating. It's a darker Alice in wonderland.." Maka smiles as she waits for the story to load. "When I first saw this video I was obsessed with it..it's so addicting and I thought that the song was based off of real killings in Japan called the 'Alice killings' but it turns out that was all fake..I still love this video though...We should all pick a Alice to be! ...I don't know just for fun. There's 4 Alice's in all..so Ragnarok which Alice do you want to be?"

"Why the hell-"

"Just play along." Maka gives him a look..the boy doesn't want to but he melts.

"..I'll be the first one because I'm fucking number one." He gives her a grin.

"What about you Crona?" Maka turns her attention to the boy on her right and he tenses.

"G-Gah! I-I don't k-know I'm not good at c-choices..w-what if I pick the wrong one?" Crona's gaze shifts nervously.

"You can't pick the wrong one." She gives him a smile. "It's just for fun."

".." Crona looks at her from the corner of his eye before looking back down at his hands. "I-I want to b-be the same one you pick Maka.."

"Well..then we could be Alice 4! Because they're actually two people that make one." Maka grabs his hand and Crona beams at what she said.

"T-Two that m-make one?" He blushes..his eyes lighting up.

"Yes..just like us." She nuzzles his head and she feels his body warm up.

"Would you push play already." Ragnarok grumbles as he glares at the screen.

"Yup! Here we go! Prepare for awesomeness! I haven't watched this in forever..so I have to admit I forgot what happens." Maka clicks the play button.

Ragnarok and Crona don't say anything more as the video starts. It's a black screen with japanese words on it..a little doll in the corner of the screen and someone talking in japanese as the words change. Luckily it has English subtitles so they can read what it's saying.

"In some place was a dream..who dreamed it was unknown. Such a truly, tiny dream was it. The little dream thought: I don't want to be vanishing like this, how do I gt people to watch me?" The little voodoo doll is crying now. "The little dream thought and thought and came up with something.." The music changes to that of a creepy circus theme and Maka can't help but to flinch at that and how the voodoo doll now has a crazed smile on it's lips. " 'If I get people to stray into me.. and let them make the world!' "

Maka tightens her grip on Crona's hand..and then she grabs Ragnarok's..something stirring in side her. "You're the first one..here comes the first Alice."

"The first Alice was a wrathful woman of the spade and righteously she held a sharpened blade within her hand." The words are in japanese as a brown haired lady with a sword smirks at the them, a sword in her hand, a spade imprinted on the back of her hand. She starts to slice through the flowers she's in..a crazed look in her eye. " Never hesitating to slay all within her way. Creating paths of blood that followed her through wonderland. " She starts to walk away with that smirk..and the sword in her hand. only for something like hands to be seen in the pupil of her red eyes. " Deep into the darkened forest, Alice walked the line. Captured and imprisoned as an embodiment of sin. " Hands come out of the forest and grab her..seeming to rip her apart as it drags her into the darkness. "If it were not for the murderous wake left behind..." The screen changes to just her hand..her sword is on the ground..and blood drips down slowly from it. " No one would have suspested that she had ever been."

Maka looks over at Ragnarok to see his reacion..She expected him say something about how his choice was a girl..but he has a far away look in his eyes. It's hard to tell what this boy is thinking..Maka thinks he thinks all the time. She's seen a lot of this boy but there's so much she still doesn't know..But he seems to be effected by this in some way.

"Interesting huh? " Maka keeps watching as the other Alice's apear..only to be killed in different ways.

"I-It's s-scary." Crona grips her arm, his eyes wide as he watches the second Alice blow his brains out. "D-Do they all die?"

"I don't rememebr.." Makas strokes his hand gently to try to sooth him.

"T-That o-one has green eyes like you.." Crona blushes when the third Alice comes on and flashes them a sweet smile. Suddenly her eyes turn a black..blood on her face causing both Maka and Crona to flinch. Maka flinches because those black eyes look so familiar..Crona flinches because he had just compared her to Maka..and the girl ends up dying.

"Here we are." Maka gives his hand a squeeze when a lighter melody comes on.

"And as this past, two children walked in the woods. Partaking in tea underneath the trees, they'd never part. They found an invitation to the queen.. it was the ace of hearts." These words are singed more up beat and the three seem to perk up just a little to get a break from the darkness. The screen switches to a blonde boy and a blonde girl pulling away from just kissing, giving them a dark look like they just got caught doing something wrong.

"The fourth Alice was a duo of curiosity.-"

"I'll fucking say. What is this twincest?"

"S-Shush." Crona snaps watching as the two put their hands together..reveling the half heart tattoo they have on their hands..and when they put them together they make a yellow heart. Crona touches Maka's hand where the half heart is on the girl in the video..his eyes lighting up at watching the two.

"Both were lost and could not find the boat where they began and so they ran through countless open doors so recklessly." Crona blushes with the boy when it shows a picture of the girl on the boy's shoulders, looking like she's looking at something. The blonde boy's face is a dark pink and so is Crona's..him obviously really picturing these two as him and Maka.

"A bother and a sister running wild through wonderland. A stubborn elder sister." The screen switches to the blonde girl looking like she's pouting about something..like she's upset. "A witty younger brother." The blonde boy looks at her like he's upset..then someone grabs his shoulder and a dark look comes to his eyes.

"But they had strayed too far into Alice's wonderland..." The music gets dark again as the girl runs up to a closed door..she reaches out to open it..only for a hand to grab hers..when she looks over..

Her brother is giving her a twisted look, one eye a shadow, his face nothing but madness. The scene switches quickly to the boy holding the dead girl in his arms..holding her in a grave yard. "They were never woken from their terrifying dream. Forever they would wander this twisted fairytale."

The screen turns dark as the video ends..all three of them are silent. Maka had forgotten about what happened with the twins..Crona tensed up really bad..and now he's shaking. Maka doesn't want to admit how much that look the brother gave his sister scared her..because it was madness..in madness he killed his sister..and she was picturing herself as that girl..and Crona was the boy..

"It's ok Crona..it's just a-" Maka turns to give him a soft smile..only to find Crona grinning at her..just like the boy on the video..his one eye is dark..such a evil look on his face. Maka can't help it. She screams.

"Whoa what the fuck!" Ragnarok tenses at her high pitch scream and grabs a hold of her.

"M-Maka? M-Maka whats wrong!" Crona grabs a hold of her too..and when she blinks she realizes he's not grinning madly at her..he's looking at her with concern..

Did she really just make that scary face in her head?

"S-Sorry..I guess that video just got to me..I forgot how bizarre it was." Maka chuckles nervously, trying to play it off.

"You shouldn't make us fucking watch something when you can't handle it yourself." Ragnaork grunts. "Even Crona didn't scream."

"But i-it was scary..I-I didn't understand though..w-who was killing them?" Crona tilts his head.

"I've had my theories about that." Maka takes a deep breath, regaining herself before she looks over at him. "It could be the dream killing them in the beginning..making it so they can't leave. Get it? The dream wanted them to make their own world..which was wonderland..so why they had to die I don't know...Maybe it was saying the dream drove them all to madness?"

"The one guy shot himself." Ragnarok leans back a little. "I don't know what the fuck happened to the third Alice though."

"The twin boy went c-crazy.." Crona mumbles..a far away look in his eyes. "And he killed his s-sister..."

"So maybe they all just went crazy..Maybe when they created wonderland they all took it to far and..I don't know it's confusing but interesting." Maka leans back and looks up at the ceiling.

"..Do you t-think the brother feels bad?.." Crona looks over at her..a frown on his face. "Why d-do you think he killed her all of a sudden?..t-they looked so close."

"To me it looked like they had a fight before he killed her..remember the girl's pout? And then that look on the boy's face? Maybe that's when he lost it..something happend between the two and he just went insane and killed her."

"O-Oh.." Crona moves his foot across the floor absentmindedly..a deep frown on his face, his shoulders slumped.

"But don't worry..it's just a video. It's not real. It didn't happen." Maka give him a peck on the head trying to give him some comfort..but she hates this dark feeling she has in her stomach.

Crona leans his head against her shoulder..his lips going over so they're pressed against her ear.

"It's going to happen." He coos in her ear..his voice sending shivers down her spine. "Soon..so soon."

Maka whips her head over to look at this boy..fear gripping her heart but..Crona's eyes are closed..him lightly snoring in her face.

"He fucking fell asleep again?" Ragnarok looks over at the other boy, studying him.

"..Yeah.." Maka takes deep breaths. What the fuck is wrong with her today?..She just needs to chill..she just needs to stop this. Crona was asleep..he didn't say that..he didn't give her that mad grin..she's seeing things..and hearing things..

Ragnarok takes his eyes off Crona to study Maka..her eyes are shaking slightly..and it looks like she's about to start sweating. "..Seriously Maka are you alright? Your sweating..is it hot in here or something?" She can hear his concern...it's more visible in his voice now because of last night..they destroyed another barrier between them and they are becoming closer..she can read him better now.

"It's hot in here." She lies as her eyes fall on Crona who is still leaning his head against her shoulder..his soft breathing on her face. "..I'm still worried about Crona..I might have saved his life..but what is this curse going to do to him?"

"I don't know." Ragnarok grips his fist..his eyes flashing with anger.

"I can't let him die Ragnork.." Maka's voice gets soft.

"He's not going to fucking die. You think I would let this bitch die?" Ragnarok snaps at her..but his words make her feels slightly better because Ragnarok cares for Crona just as she does..maybe together they can save him..

And maybe they can save her.

Maka lays Crona down..moving their bodies so she can tuck them both into the bed. Her fingers lightly carress the boy's face..running her finger tips over his nose and his cheeks..down to his lips. This is the face of the boy who will kill her. Maybe she knows this..maybe she's trying to deny it..but it's obvious. She deserves to die. After all she's done to him..all she's done to those people in the circus..

"You wana play me in 'Resident Evil' while we wait for him to get up?" Maka swallows the lump in her throat so her voice is firm when she flashes him a fake smile.

Ragnarok only shrugs..a question on the tip of his tongue..but like the lump in her throat..he swallows it down.

Crona only snores into her chest..a soft smile on his lips..but behind that is a darkness...and it's growing, festering..

Inside him his madness smirks..

It's only a matter of time.

---

"Do you r-really have to make her do this R-Ragnarok?" Crona gives the other boy a tired glare as he rubs his eye..his hair is all over the place making it look cute and fluffy..but Maka doen't have time to admire the boy.

"A bet is a bet." Ragnarok grunts as he holds open the door to the room that's going to be her 'punishment' for screaming while riding the 'bone crusher'. It's all lit up now..Maka seeing the red carpet but that's it. This is a empty room. Soon this room is going to be pitch black though..and she's going to be locked in it.

"He's right Crona.." Maka takes a deep breath and tries to sound braver then she actually is. In reality she's about to shit herself. She hasn't been locked in a dark room since that time with Spirit..and that was so scary she cried..and begged him to let her out. Now she's doing it again.. "I'll be fine."

"Are you s-sure Maka?" Crona frowns, his droopy eyes locking onto hers as he grabs her hand. The boy looks like he just rolled out of bed..and he has. The day is almost over and Crona has spent most of it sleeping. He still looks tired now..with those bags under his eyes but at least he was able to force himself out of bed finally. Even in his exhausted state she can see the concern in those eyes..the care in his voice. He knows this is going to be hard on her..he was the first to hold her in the darkness at the asylum..whispering reassuring words as she cried into his chest..he knows how much this scares her. "You really don't have t-to do anything you don't want to..I-I don't care what Ragnarok says."

"No I can't chicken out..I'd really feel like a bitch if I did that. We made a bet and I'm going to keep it." Maka takes a breath before she smiles at him. "I"m fine Crona..I promise you."

"If y-you can't handle it..yell for me and I-I'll get you out of there." Crona looks at her seriously..his grip tightening on her hand.

"It's only ten fucking minutes." Ragnarok grumbles as he glares at the door knob he's holding but he seems a little bit uncertain. "You'll be fine."

"Right." She keeps that forced smile on as she hesitantly lets go of Crona's hand and walks into the room. She takes deep breaths to keep herself in tack..the lights haven't even turned off but just the thought is enough to make her want to scream. Also she found out the light switch is on the outside of this room..so she's at the mercy of Ragnarok and Crona if she were to flip out.

"See ya in ten minutes." Ragnarok sneers but Maka doesn't look at him. "..You'll be fine." His voice gets a bit softer before he closes the door.

Maka looks around this empty room that's full of light..she's alone..so she'll be alone in the dark...she can do this..she can face her fears-

That's when the lights turn off..putting her in complete darkness. She can't see. She can't fucking see. Maka wants to scream..but she bites her lip stopping herself..it hasn't even been a second and she's about to break down..how pathetic. No, she doesn't want to be pathetic..she can do this..ten minutes? That's no big deal..she can do this..

Maka takes deep breaths..breathing in then out, in then out, trying to keep her heart rate down as she stares in this blackness..in this darkness..in this nothingness. Her ears are alert..waiting for any sound that might break the silence..her eyes searching the darkness frantically..a fear picking up inside her. What if something is in here with her? She can't see it..she can't fight it..she's going ot die she's going to-

"Stop it.." Maka whispers harshly at herself but she's trembling..a sweat forming on her brow and she has to bite her lip harder to stop her scream. She doesn't stop though. She's so scared..Maka feels tears forming at the corner of her eyes as she grips her hair..it feels hard to breathe now..the darkness is closing around her..it wants her, it-

"Why are you so afraid of the dark?" A child's voice penetrates the nothingness. She sounds curious.

Maka's breath hisses but she doesn't look up..she doesn't look in the darkness, afraid of what she's going to see.

"..I don't know why I'm so afriad.." Maka hugs herself..her shoulders trembling. "I don't like not being able to see..I'm afraid of being helpless..I'm afraid I'm going to be stuck here forever..I'm just afraid..the dark is scary."

"But the only ones here are you and me..so why are you so afraid?"

"I don't know.."

"I understand being afraid of the dark though. I use to sleep with my mother and father..I didn't like to be alone in the dakrness.." The girl's voice becomes a little softer. "..I thought grown ups weren't afraid of anything.."

"Everyone has fears." Maka takes deep breaths. "No matter how old you get..you never grow out of that. The fears only change."

"..Now that I think about it..my parents did fear..when we took my brother to the doctor they were afraid..I just couldn't see it then like I can now..now that I have all the time in the world to think about the little time I had." The little girl's voice is closer. "..We all got consumed by our fears."

"P-Please.." Maka's crying now..this feeling in her chest is ripping her apart..that voice..it fills her with pain..it feels her with guilt..

It hurts so much.

"Please what?" Maka sees little shoes float right by her head..and she knows this little girl is visible now.

"Please go away.." Maka puts a hand to her heart..she can't look at her.

"..And go where?" The spirit sighs. "I don't know where else to go..your the only one I could find..I couldn't fine my brother..or my parents..I don't know witch way to go." she seems to get angry now. "I'm not going anywhere! How dare you tell me to leave when you took everything from me!..Look at me.."

Maka doesn't look.

"Look at me please.."

Maka looks over slowly..her eyes faling on the little girl that is floating a few feet above her..the girl's dull eyes looking down at her with a sadness as she grips the bottom of her white dress and looks down at it.

"This is the dress my mother bought be for my 7th birthday..they took me to that carnival to have fun..we were going to see my brother afterwards and have a party for him but..now I can't. He's going to be alone for his birthday..he's going to be alone!" The girl's being trembles at this.

Maka feels like..just dying. The pain in her chest is too much..the guilt is eating her alive. She sees the pain in the little girl's eyes..Maka sees how her cute birthday dress was ruined with her blood..and it's all her fault. She killed this girl..she killed her whole family.

"I'm sorry.." Maka hugs herself tighter..sinking to her knees..her head bowed because she can't look at this little girl anymore. "..I'm so sorry.." She's trembling so bad..because it hurts so much..she can't get all thoses faces of death out of her mind..can't get all the red out of her head.

"Sorry doesn't count unless you mean it." That voice inside her head crackles..she's getting louder and louder..Maka's own voice seems so small now.

"Sorry doesn't do anything for me." The little girl sounds closer. "It doesn't do anything for them either.."

For some reason this gets her to whip her head up..she sees shadows surrounding her..in the darkness she can't see what they are but then-

The light turns on.

Maka screams as she takes in these people..their dull, lifeless eyes staring at her, blood falling out of their mouths..a line on their stomach's where they had been cut in half..one's missing a eye..other's missing ears..they're all scarped up..blood everywhere. They reach their cut up hands for her..

They want her..they want her for what she did to them.

Maka continues to scream as she grips her hair and closes her eyes..to scared to do anything.

The door slings open.

"M-Maka! M-Maka what's wrong?" She hears Crona's voice..and she waits for him to scream at the sight of these hideous things..

But he doesn't.

She feels his arms around her..and he shakes her. Her eyes shoot open..only to see Crona looking at her with a deep frown on his face..there's nobody else surrounding them..Maka lets tears of relief fall down her face as she grabs a hold of Crona and hugs him tightly.

"Was it really that fucking bad?" Ragnarok walks into the room..he looks at the lights being on and raises an eye brow. "..You didn't scream till the light was on?"

"It shocked me!" Maka quickly wipes her tears away..not wanting to cry anymore..not wanting to be so pathetic. She pulls away and gives these two boys a smile. "I did pretty good though huh?"

"You d-did.." Crona studies her with that frown.

"Did better then I thought." Ragnarok crosses his arms but he's studying her too..

She doesn't like their gazes..even if it's because they are concerned for her. She doesn't want them to see this..to see the pain she's in right now..she doesn't even want to see this pain..to feel it so deep in her chest..

The feeling of guilt.

"I think I want to take a shower." Maka lets go of Crona and gets up by herself, Crona getting up with her..his eyes never leaving hers. "I'll be honest..I sweated up a storm in here." Maka waves herself to add to her point.

"O-Okay Maka.." Crona holds her hand as she walks past Ragnarok..the raven haired boy looking at her intently...trying to see through her..but Maka will fake her smile..she'll fake everything if she has to.

She takes a deep breath..trying to keep her facial expression from showing how she's feeling. She feels like shit. That little girl..Maka doesn't know if she's really a spirit..or just a part of her madness..but she is the embodiment of her guilt. It's like her guilt took a form..and it took the form of that girl. It's torture hearing her voice..it's even more hurtful seeing her..

Maka wants to forget but she knows she can't.

This girl..and this guilt will haunt her for the rest of her life..

Good thing there's probably not much of it left.

"I'll be out in about 20 mintues." Maka looks over at the two boys and smiles when they got to the bathroom across from their room.

"..O-Okay.." Crona still looks at her with that slight frown..he's studying her still..trying to see past the barrier she placed on herself.

Ragnarok is just staring at her..his arms crossed..and for some reason Maka feels like he's doing the same thing.

Maka turns her back to them and walks into the bathroom..shutting the door behind her. She lets out a sigh as her eyes take in this huge bathroom..she means really this thing is as big as her old room! It has the red carpet on the flooring of course even though Maka thinks it's stupid to have carpet in the bathroom..but hell, who ever made this house was apparently rich. So whatever floats their boat. The bath room walls are a cream color..the walls designed with some gold lines here and there. The tub in here is massive..like one of those jet pool tubs..fucking awesome right? It has red curtains covering it. In front of the tub is the sink..it's made of marble and the faucet is made of gold..just like the faucet in the tub. There's angel paintings in here and a large mirror behind the sink with a gold frame. This bathroom is beautiful..and right now this is her sanctuary.

She walks slowly down the red carpet, stopping right by the tub. She takes a deep breath before she snaps her fingers..a tank top, shorts, and a new pair of under garments appears next to the sink. She didn't feel like going back in the room to get clothes to sleep in..not when she's a witch and she doesn't have to. With most of the day just sleeping she has gotten some of her power back. She doesn't want to push it though so she takes her dress off physically..Maka shivering as the cold air hits her bare body giving her goose bumps. She walks over so she's standing in front of the mirror..she's still in her bra and panties. Her eyes are large and slightly puffy from crying..bags are under them and her hair is just a mess. She looks pathetic. Maka smooths her hair down on her face..a frown coming to her lips.

"Don't like what you see? " A voice coos behind her and her heart almost stops. Maka looks up..seeing his yellow eyes glim at her..a smirk on his face. She whips around to see none other then Kid standing before her..he stands tall..that smirk never leaving his face. " I don't like what I see either Maka..I don't like to see what you have become."

Maka's trembling..she wants to scream..to call for help but any cry gets caught in her throat. Kid takes a step closer and she takes a step back..her back touching the sinks counter..

"What happened to you Maka? You use to be my love..but look at you now. Your tainted with sin. Taninted with madness." Kid keeps getting closer..his smirk never falling. "The Maka I know was clean..your dirty."

Maka's eyes skit away from him to look at the bathroom door..her way out if she can just make it out of here..but her legs won't move. Kid sees what her eyes are looking at..and before she knows it she's up on the counter, being held against the mirror with the boy between her legs, glaring at her darkly.

"When you were clean all I wanted was your love..I just wanted to hold your hand..and I would have been content with forever just holding your hand..so to not taint such a perfect being." His words are spoke against her lips..one hand holding her arms above her head while the other rests on the counter..by her thigh. "But since your already dirty..why don't I dirty you up some more?"

"I-" Her words are cut off by his lips..he kises her roughly, his free hand grabbing her thigh. Maka trembles in fear but she kicks him, getting the boy away from her enough to break the kiss.

"You never did let me kiss you..but now you don't have a choice. I hate you so much witch, you took every thing from me..now i'll take from you what I want." Kid growls, that hate burning his eyes as he clashes his lips against hers again, his teeth clanking against hers at the force and she whimpers in pain.

This is wrong..this is so wrong.

Kid's tongue licks her teeth..trying to get access to her mouth but like hell if she is going to let him in. The boy grips her thigh roughly causing her to yelp, the boy doesn't waste any time and shoves his tongue down her throat, exploring her mouth..leaving no part of it clean from him.

This isn't the Kid she knows..Kid wouldn't do this..but then again she's changed so maybe he has too...He doesn't scare her any less..if anything he scares her more.

"Your disgusting." Kid pants as he breaks the kiss and goes down to kiss her neck..he bites her harshly, causing her to whimper. "Your ugly." He kisses back up her neck to her lips..his eyes lock onto hers. "Your nothing but a sin."

Maka feels a deep anger in her..and she glares at Kid..despite her fear. He's practically molesting her on this counter and she's the sin? He calls her all these things while he kisses her? She doesn't like it. She doesnt' like him.

"Get the fuck off me!" Maka growls as she kicks him hard in the stomach..it's a good enough kick that it gets him completely off of her..he even lets go of her hands. Maka quickly gets off the counter and runs towards the door..but when her hand gets on the door knob..and she turns it..

It doesn't open. It's locked.

Maka frantically tries to open the door..but it won't budge.

"Oh Maka.." She hears Kid 'tsk' behind her so she turns around and places her back against the door. Kid's face is blank, his yellow eyes piercing through her. "You shouldn't have done that."

"Fuck you." Maka spats but she's trembling again..the fear she feels evident in her expression.

"Tell me why your upset with your reflection.." Kid walks over to the mirror and looks into it. Maka doesn't respond so he goes on. "Is it because you see what you are finally? That you see how evil you are? That you see the face of the person that killed all those people?-"

"Stop." Maka growls but..her voice cracks.

"After what you done to me Maka..I've learned to hate my reflection as well..not for what I did but for what I didn't do. I hate my reflection because it's me. You hate your reflection because it's you. We both are plagued by guilt..but I know how to free myself of it.." Kid punches the mirror..it shattering, cutting up his knuckles but he doesn't seem effected. He puts up a large piece of broken glass and grips it..his hand bleeding slightly as it cuts into him...he examines it a moment before he turns his cold, crazed eyes on her. " If I kill you..i'll be set free."

Maka's frozen to the spot..those crazed eyes keeping her still..she's like a bunny looking into the eyes of a wolf..but she's to afraid to do anything. Her teeth are chattering..and her body is shaking as this boy takes slow steps towards her..his blood dripping slightly, blending in with the red carpet.

"You should be ready to die really..just look at what you did..all those people..all those families you destroyed. They didn't do anything to you..but you ripped them a part. You killed them all, thousands of people you killed." Kid's words are low as he gets closer. "And what about that little girl?"

"S-Stop.." Maka pleads..tears falling down her face. "Don't..Don't talk about it.."

"What's wrong? Feeling guilty? My..you poor witch." Kid smirks..Maka noticing a purple flower on his suit..half his face darker then the other. " It hurts doesn't it? Guilt? It rips a person apart..makes that person regret..it ruins lives..guilt does did you know? It's ruining mine..but I'm ending that now." He keeps walking closer..that piece of glass held out in front of him. "Your guilt will damn you..you'll never be able to forget about what you did at the carnival..you'll never forget the look on those people's face as they screamed their last breath..you'll never forget those dull eyes of the little girl as she laid in her own blood-"

"Stop it! Stop it! Fucking stop it!" Maka screams at him..something stirring in her..her chest puffing up. Her eyes are shaking like crazy..a hate in her heart. "I didn't mean to do that shit alright? I didn't mean to kill them all! I only wanted to get rid of the witch hunters! I only wanted to get rid of the ones that wanted to hurt me!"

"Oh please. You enjoyed killing all those people Maka..why do you deny it? You liked seeing all their blood, you liked that you destroyed the whole town." He coos.

"No..No I didn't!" Maka's teeth stop chattering..her fear turning into anger.. "I didn't fucking like that! I didn't-"

"But you did. Your a disgusting creature Maka. You didn't just liked it..you loved it. You want more of it don't you? Do you miss the sounds of their screams? Do you miss the thick liquid that coated the concrete? You want more don't you? You want more you sick bitch don't you?-"

"Fuck you!" Maka screams..something snaping in side her. Fear no longer holds her down..no, she runs towards Kid..and with all her strength she tackles him. The boy falls back on the floor..Maka right on top of him..pinning him down. Her eyes are nothing but hate..her breathing uneven. "You don't know anything about me you fucker..Your the fucking sick one. Your fucking disgusting. I hate you..I fucking hate you!" Maka rips the glass from his hand..holding it threateningly..her eyes dark.

Kid smiles sweetly at her. "I love you Maka."

"Go to hell!" Maka growls as she brings the glass down and cuts him on his shoulder..it's a deep cut..the blood flows out but he continues to smile at her. "Go to hell where you belong! I'm going to fucking kill you!" She grabs his wrist and pulls it close to her..for some reason the boy isn't fighting her back. "Let's see how you like getting your fucking wrist cut up..lets see how you like the pain you cause!" She grips the piece of glass tightly before she slices it over his wrist..blood oozes out but she doesn't stop there. She goes back over the cut..over..and over and over again..She goes so deep that she gets to the bone..her being able to see it. By this point she's covered in his blood..and so is the boy. Kid's smile has turned into a twisted grin..he's taunting her..mocking her.

"Is that all?" He yawns as if bored.

"Oh fuck no." Maka smirks as she takes the glass and starts making cuts up his arm..ripping up his suit..she keeps making these cuts..moving down to his stomach. She makes a deep cut here..her hand a blur to her..carving something out into this boy..but he just takes it. He doesn't fight her. He just lays there with that twisted grin. After she's done with his stomach she goes to his other wrist..she cuts deeply..then peels back the skin so more of the wirst bone is showing..

He's losing so much blood..and he should be in so much pain..but he hasn't even flinched.

"Your so fucking disgusting.." Maka hacks away at his thigh. "I hate everything about you..I hate you so fuckign much.." She moves over to his other thigh..making sure to cut deep in his inner thigh..wanting him to feel the pain. "Why don't you just fucking die? Just fucking die already!"

"I'll die when you die my dear.." Kid smirks at her.."Which will be soon.."

Maka hears the door open and she pauses mid-hack to look over at it.

"Y-You ok Maka? Y-You been in here for a hour and I-" Crona walks in speaking before his eyes take the two in, his face dropping to complete and utter horror. "Maka! What did you do?!"

"What do you mean? I saved myself he was.." Maka looks down at Kid..only to see that he's not there anymore...but there's blood everywhere..on the tub..on the sink's counter..there's pieces of bloody broken glass around her feet. There's his blood..but where is-

Maka looks down at herself..her mind falling apart..Her wrist has been sliced up so bad she can see the bone..her thighs and arms have cuts everywhere..and her stomach is one mass of a bloody mess. This stings..it stings so bad..but it's a dull kind of sting..everything hurts on her..

All those things she said about Kid..she was really sayng about herself. She sliced herself up..her blood is all over the place.

She hates herself.

"Isn't it b-beautiful Crona?.." Maka holds out a bloody wrist..a odd smile on her lips as she looks at the boy who's staring at her with wide eyes..he's in shock. She knows he is. " Justice is always beautiful isn't it? My mother always did say.." Maka's voice gets weaker..she's losing so much blood as she takes a step towards him. "..I looked best in red." That's it. That's the last she can say before she falls down..her legs giving in on her.

Skinny arms wrap around her quickly..laying her down on the floor gently. Maka's eyes look up at Crona..the boy has tears falling down his face as he looks over all the wounds she has..all the self inflicted wounds. He holds her close to him before he looks away from her.

"Ragnarok!" Crona screams desperately, trying to cover up some of the cuts to stop the blood flow..but there's too many of them.

"What did she fall in-" Ragnarok appears in front of the two..a irritated look on his face but when his eyes fall on Maka..His face completely drops..a gasp coming fron those lips.

"Get Medusa! I don't care where she is! Get someone! Maka needs help! She's hurt!" Crona trembles against her, his voice is so shaky.

Ragnarok is gone right there.

"O-Oh my g-god Maka..y-you hurt yourself really b-bad.." Crona's tears fall down onto her face..but Maka doesn't even blink. Her mind is broken..her blood leaking out of her body. Crona sobs when he looks down at her wrist...when he sees the bone peeking out of how deep she cut. "..W-Why..w-why did you do it?"

Maka only looks at him..

Because she hates herself. Because she's insane.

His tears only fall down faster..her blood getting all over his shirt and hands but he doesn't seem to care about that. He's cradling her against him like a baby..holding her with so much emotion...his shoulders shaking in his sobbing.

Why...why is he crying? Why isn't he happy?..She deserves this pain..she deserves to be cut up..dying on this bathroom floor..why is he crying for her? When she has done so much wrong to him too?

Her eyes slowly start to close..she doesn't want to see this boy's tears..they hurt her and she's hurting enough right now.

"M-Maka you have to stay with me!" Crona shakes her desperately, getting her to open her eyes again..he's looking at her with fear..his eyes shaking. "Y-You can't leave me! Y-You promised Maka! You promised!"

..What did she promise again?..her brain hurts so much..the pain in her stomach is unbearable..she just wants to sleep..she just wants to leave this place..

That's when Medusa and Ragnarok appear in front of them.

"My child!" Medusa gasps as she rushes over towards her..getting blood on her bare feet but she doesn't seem to care either. Her yellow eyes are wide..a panic in them as she takes in the damage Maka has done to herself..Even in Maka's state she can't help but to notice..how aweful Medusa looks. Her face is a lot paler then normal..there's dirt on her face and her hair is messed up..her clothes are a little ripped too. Medusa looks exhausted. "What happened?!"

"I-I don't know! I-I came in to check on her..and I saw her like this.." Crona sobs out, trying ot control himself.

Ragnarok stands off to the side..his eyes wide..and his face fallen in shock as he takes in the girl..he's speechless..he can't move.

Medusa studies Maka for a moment before her eyes fall on her stomach. Medusa's eyes flash as she grabs a towel and gently wipes the blood away..seeing the cuts on her stomach. "Shit.." Medusa's voice is low as her eyes take in the three vertical eyes curved into her stomach. "That bastard."

"W-What?" Crona looks at this mother but she doesn't respond...she's not healing Maka..and she's running out of time. "..P-Plesae lady M-Medusa.." He looks at her with pleading eyes. "S-Save her..p-please."

"I'm almost out of power..I can't heal her all the way.." Medusa takes a deep breath before she puts her finger to Maka's forehead..Maka feels Medusa's power go through her and she watches as her wirst closes up enough so the bone isn't showing..the shallow cuts disappear on her body but the deeper cuts are still there..just closed more. " Keep her alive..I'll be back with Stein" Medusa pulls her hand away and pants..she's really out of power but she disappears.

Ragnarok is left staring at Maka..staring at her cuts and all the blood on her and Crona..left staring at Crona's tears and her blank face.

"Y-Your going to be ok Maka.." Crona sooths gently..but his tears keep falling as he plays with her hair..her blood getting on it from his hands. "Everything is g-going to be fine.."

That's a lie and she knows it.

Maka doens't respond..she just stares forward blankly..not looking him in the eyes.

Ragnarok hates the feeling in his chest..he hates it so much..

He's helpless..he can't do anything for her.

Medusa reappears with Stein by her side..the man looking at the blood before looking at Maka..something flashing through those eyes of his..a smirk twitching his lips.

"Stein you must hurry. She's lost a lot of blood." Medusa watches as Stein walks over to Crona and Maka..kneeling down next to her with his bag of tools. He digs into his bag before pulling out a needle with some thread.

"This may hurt." Stein states bluntly as he takes one of her wrists and sticks the needle in, not bothering to warn her, he just goes about sowing her wrist..pulling the skin back.

Maka doesn't even flinch..she doesn't blink..

Why are they keeping her alive?..she's disgusting don't they know?

Stein works around her body..sowing the deep cuts that Medusa couldn't heal..his lips are in a smirk..his glasses glared but you can tell he's enjoying himself. Crona is holding her tightly, whispering reassuring words into her ear..his tears soaking her hair. Ragnarok's eyes are shaking..his being flickering. Medusa is holding her arm like it's hurt..watching this with blank eyes.

"Done with the stitching..now let me just bandage you up.." Stein takes out a bandage wrap and starts at her stomach, wraping it around her waist..his fingers touching her soft skin as much as possible. "I must say Maka..You look good with stiches.." Stein hums as he takes in her wrist before he wraps them up.

Crona gives him a dark glare, along with Ragnarok but Medusa's expression hasn't changed.

"She should be ok now..I'll have to change her bandages tomorrow-"

"T-That won't be necessary." Croan butts in..giving Stein a odd look. "I-I'll take care of her."

Stein gives him a long look..his glares glared so he cant' see his eyes..but he can see his lips..he's smirking.

"As you wish.." He gets up and walks over to Medusa..she falls into his arms and he holds her up..she looks completely wiped out.

"..Alright what the fuck happened? Maka doesn't come off to me as the emo type.." Ragnarok finally speaks..his words not caught in his throat as he looks at the girl who is just staring blankly at nothing.

"Justin.." Medusa sighs getting Ragnarok to tense up so badly.

"..Justin?" Ragnaork grips his heart.. " How the hell did Justin do this?"

"It was a direct insanity attack..it was strong too..He was able to make Maka crazy enough to harm herself..most likely Justin wanted to get her to kill herself..and he might have succeeded if Crona didn't come to check on her." Medusa gives Ragnarok a dark look..

The raven haired boy feels like he just got shot..through his chest..He's in pain..because he failed. He wasn't able to kill Justin and because of that..Maka got hurt..she almost fucking died..

The guilt he feels is unbearable..

"Justin.." Crona grinds his teeth as he holds Maka closer..a fire burning in those eyes of his.

"So he thinks he can try to kill you? He thinks he can take you a way from me? I don't think so! I'm the one that's going to kill you! I'll rip him to pieces!" His voice screeches in her head..but Maka doesn't even move.

"She's broken.." Medusa states sadly looking at the girl.

"Maka.." Ragnarok feels that pain..and he takes a step closer..wanting to touch her..wanting to make this all better..wanting to fix this shit.

Medusa puts her hand out in front of him..and he glares at her and opens his mouth-

"Your not the one." She says coldly before she looks over at Crona.

Ragnarok is about to protest but..when his eyes fall on the two..he stops.

"M-Maka please talk to me..p-please say something..M-Maka.." Crona pleads with her..but she doesn't respond. "P-Please..I need you Maka.." He grabs her face gently and turns it so she has to look into those watery eyes. "I love you Maka..please..say s-something..l-let me know your ok..I-I won't let this happen again..I p-promise you Maka he w-will pay..p-please..you don't even have to talk if you don't want to just..j-just show me your s-smile please?"

Maka stares up at this boy..his tears falling like rain water down on her..they hit her cheek and run down it like she herself is crying. She stares into those eyes..those pleading orbs..something snaps back into place inside her and she blinks..he asked for a smile didn't he?..she can do that..She can do that for him.

She gives him a soft smile..but it seems this causes him to cry more..his eyes lighting up.

Ragnarok watches with wide eyes..as those blank eyes of hers turn back to normal..that smile gracing her lips as she looks up at Crona..He sees the deep love Crona has for her in his crying eyes..and the way he holds her..Crona was able to bring her back..

He only drug her down.

Despite the smile she gives Crona..her eyes droop..before they shut, her head lolling over to the side to lay against his chest..her body going limp against his.

"M-Maka!" Crona shakes her..his eyes lose that light as he shakes her..but this time she doesn't wake up.

"She's only sleeping." Medusa cuts off the boy's painic..her voice is weak. "She isn't dying. Let her rest. She needs to regain herself."

Crona only sniffles in response..holding the limp girl against his body..her blood still all over his shirt and hands but he doesn't care. "He'll pay..oh he'll pay.." He mumbles under his breath as he reaches over for the towel Medusa used to wipe the blood on her stomach..he takes the clean side and gently wipes her face where some blood had gotten on it..his breathing is uneven..and his tears keep falling on the unconscious girl's face. "I-I'm sorry Maka..I-I'm so sorry..I-I won't let this happen again..h-he won't touch you..o-oh Maka.." He whimpers..his shoulders shaking in spasms.

"It's stirring.." Medusa watches Crona with those eyes that see all..that know all.

Ragnarok watches the two..that pain in his chest growing at how pale her face looks..at the boy's tears and for once in a long, long time.

He feels like fucking crying.

"Come..We have things to talk about Ragnarok.." Stein picks Medusa up bridal styal and carrys her out the bathroom.

Ragnarok looks back Crona..who is still cleaning up Maka with the towel..mumbling things to her and himself..his blue eyes shaking..unstable.

He grips his chest not able to look at her bandages..not able to see how he failed her.

He leaves unnoticed...leaving a broken girl with a breaking boy.

Crona hiccups as he puts down the towel..tracing his shaky finger tips over her pale cheek..Maka's limp body leaning into him. "W-Why you?..Why is e-everything out to get you..j-just why?" He trembles against her..his head bowed.

"This is all your fault." A voice coos in front of him and when Crona whips his head up..He looks at another version of himself..smirking madly down at Maka's limp body. "You took to long with checking on her..if you came sooner you could have stopped this, but you didn't. Her blood is on your hands."

Crona's tears only fall more..because it's true. He failed her. If he had came sooner..Maka wouldn't be limp in his arms. He could have stopped it..but he was to late. He said he would protect her..but so far he hasn't done that. All he's done is put her in danger.

"It was fucking hot seeing her all cut up wasn't it?..She did it her self too.." He moans. "But she did it because of the madness of another and we can't have that can we? We are the only ones that can drive her insane...Just imagine cutting her yourself?..I bet she would scream..ohh I bet she would cry.."

"S-Stop it!" Crona screams at this other boy..he grips Maka protectively to himself. " Y-Your not touching her!"

"..But look at her neck..look at how she betrays you..come now..you know you want to hurt her.." This boy purrs as he walks closer. "Look at her neck..feed me your anger..feed me your hurt and I will get our vengeance."

"There's nothing o-on her neck.." Crona doesn't look at it..instead he looks down at her beautiful face..stroking it lovingly.

"So your going to lie to yourself to protect her from me? You can't lie to me. I know. I see what's on her neck..but your going to deny it."

"There's nothing to d-deny because there's nothing on her neck." He speaks firmly. "A-And that doesn't matter now..Maka is h-hurt.." Crona holds Maka carefully in his arms as he gets up with her..his bangs covering his eyes so he doesn't have to look at this other boy. "She's all that matters..a-and I failed her."

"Oh boo hoo. Look at me, I'm so pitiful I cry over a girl that bangs a ghost even though It hurts me. Come on..stop lying to yourself. You like her blood staining you..you just don't like that it wasn't by your own hand-"

"I-I hate you." Crona snarls out..his body shaking so much..his eyes unstable.

"Huh.." The boy hums behind him. "You know.." He gets a crazed grin on his face. "If you can't love yourself how in the hell you going to love somebody else?" The boy does a dance, clapping his hands above his head..getting down into it. "Can I get a amen?!"

Crona grips Maka closer to him as he walks out of the bathroom quickly..the other boy laughing madly after him.

"You can't escape me..and neither can she..it's only a matter of time..she has the same fate as the twin from that video..and you know it. I know it. The world knows it!" He crackles.

Crona doesn't listen..he focuses on the beating of Maka's heart..focusing on the girl that he loves..

He will fight anyone and anything for her..

Even himself.

"Would you like to enlighten me on why this even happened in the first place?" Medusa glares at the raven haired boy..her piercing yellow eyes piercing his being. The boy won't look at her..his fist is gripped..his teeth grit. "I sent you to take care of Justin yesterday! But obviously you failed in the mission I gave you!"

"You didn't fucking tell me about another man being there." Ragnarok snaps..his chest puffing up. "I took control of some body and came into Justin's cotage thing to fucking kill him..he was alseep but this other guy wasn't. We got in a fucking tussle and he was stronger then I thought. We ended up waking up Justin..He fucking knows my weakness." Ragnarok takes deep breaths.

"Justin knows all your weakness. He knows too much because of Asura. The fact he was able to cause Maka to do this to herself is a red flag. The boy is becoming too powerful. There's no doubt in my mind that this insanity attack isn't the last..he will continue at it until she is dead. He must be put to a stop and he must be put to a stop now." Medusa takes a breath..still looking exhausted. "Tomorrow the boy dies."

"Right." Ragnarok grips his fist..thinking about that fucking boy..the fucking reason Maka got hurt..he hates him..a fire burns his being..along with that guilt..because he had failed..and Maka paid for it.

"By the way Ragnarok..do you know where Maka got that burse on her neck? It's awfully deep.." Medusa coos, causing him to tense.

"No I don't. She probably did it to her fucking self." He snaps trying to cover up how much he tensed..

Because that bruise is not bruise..it's a hicky that he left on her from last night..he didn't mean to but he did. Crona saw it..and so did Medusa.

"I see.." She smirks at him and it pisses him off.

"What the hell happened to you anyway?" Ragnarok takes in her ripped clothes and the tired look in her eyes.

"Ran into some trouble you could say..the other witches aren't happy with me right now..I'm much into every one's business."

"..Also why the hell didn't you call on Eruka to heal Maka? Instead of this freak stitching her up." Ragnarok sends Stein a glare..but the man doens't say anyting..

Because Stein can't see him. He's in his own little world.

"Eruka and Free are not here..I sent them to complete a task for me..I was not expecting such a tragedy to happen to my child." Medusa yawns. "We will speak more in the morning..I have to get my rest..Stein."

Stein grips her tighter before he walks with her into another room..leaving Ragnarok alone with his thoughts.

Everything is fucked up. What the hell is Medusa doing? What the hell are Eruka and Free doing ?

Ragnarok wants to think about this..but soon his mind goes back to Maka..and he feels that large pain in his chest..

It's all his fucking fault. Of course it is. Justin..you fucking ass hole..

Ragnarok growls as he punches the wall..a hole being left in it but he doesn't care..his chest is puffing up..his face a scowl. How the hell is he suppose to feel?..last night he was fucking pissed off that he failed..that Justin fucking through those crosses on him..and he had to retreat like a fucking bitch. Oh yes, he was fucking pisssed..but now..now that he knows Maka got hurt becuase of him..Ragnarok punches the wall again in his anger. If he fucking knew this shit was going to happen..fuck, he would have made sure he took Justin out..but he didn't take him out..and that's why her blood is all over the bathroom floor.

That blood is on his hands.

Ragnarok keeps punching the wall..it doesn't hurt..but his chest does..

He should have know something was really wrong with Maka..she had been acting fucking weird all day..screaming randomly..the way she would shake..the weird smiles she would give him..he should have known she wasn't alright..but he could have never guessed that she would hurt herself..those deep cuts..her smooth skin massacred...and by her own hand. No, he didn't see that coming. Who would? Ragnarok just thought she was feeling a little guilty..

But then again he feels guilt now..and it's making him want to do crazy things.

Fuck..fuck..fuck..

He has to see her..he has to talk to her..just something..anything to take this pain away.

Ragnarok disappears..only to reappear in their room..seeing Crona tuck in Maka..the girl's eyes are closed..her face so pale. He takes in her soft expression before looking at Crona who is staring down at her.

".Is she alright?" He takes a step closer.

"I-I think f-for now she is.." Crona's voice is quiet as he lightly touches her cheek.

"..We're killing Justin tomorrow."

Crona nods at that..a odd look in his blue eyes.

"Yes, he's lived far to long..he'll pay for what he's done." Crona's voice is odd as he climbs into bed with Maka..being careful not to touch her bandages, he wraps his arms around her..resting his head on top of hers.

Ragnarok watches Maka's chest rise and fall slightly..he's drawn in by it..drawn in by her life. He stops right by her side..looking down at her with those piercing eyes..She looks so peaceful..like she didn't just cut herself..like she wasn't just bleeding on the bathroom floor. His whole being aches. He reaches out to touch her..just to touch her cheek-

"Careful now." Crona gives him a dark looking causing him to pause and send him a glare. "You don't want to make me angry again do you?"

"Fuck off Crona-"

"Can you tell me what this is?" Crona strokes the blue bruise on Maka's neck..his head tilting at the other boy.

Ragnarok tenses but he tries to cover it up with his glare.

"What does it fucking look like?" He snaps.

"I would be careful Ragnarok. You might be dead but let me tell you.." He leans in closer..his voice dark. "There's things a lot worse then death boy."

"I think it's pretty fucked up of you to be worried about what's on her neck when she's fucking cut up right now.' Ragnarok tries to keep himself from punching Crona right in the fucking face..the only reason he's holding back is because Crona's holding Maka. "You should be worried about her, not about what we fucking did."

"Oh I am worried about her..but now she's ok, she's asleep..so now I can only help to wonder how she got this bruise..but I already know how. Because I'm always watching. You were a bit rough weren't you? But obviously you like causing her pain..these cuts are your fault after all." His eyes narrow at that.

"How the hell is it my fault?" Ragnarok snaps..there's no way Crona could know..he didn't tell him he was leaving to kill Justin..he just went.

"I don't know..why don't you pray about it." He sneers.

Ragnarok's face gets hot with anger...and he really just wants to knock the shit out of him..but his chest hurts..it hurts with that guilt when he looks down at Maka.

He opens his mouth to tell him to fuck off..to tell him about himself but..

Maka whimpers.

Crona's eyes flash..they lose that dark look as he looks back down at Maka, holding her close to himself he plays with her hair..trying to sooth her.

Ragnarok tenses and watches as the girl whimpers in pain..her face a grimace..

"It hurts.." She mumbles in her sleep..

That's all it takes.

Ragnarok disappears...reappearing outside of the mansion..the full moon shinning down on him. His mind is cracking. He's fucking losing it. Ragnarok roars out in anger..in hate..his eyes that black as he howls at the moon like an animal..

He's never been so overwhelmed with so many differnt feelings at once..

Anger..hate..guilt..anxiety..

The list goes on with what he's feeling.

Ragnarok continues to make growls as he starts ripping apart anything he can find..throwing things and howling in his anger..in his pain.

He fucking can't deal with this. His being is actually getting faded..He can't get those cuts on her body out of his head..she actually peeled back the skin in her wrist..he can't get her whimpers out of his head..he can't stop remembering how she trembied..how she screamed today..

It's his fucking fault. He should have known.

Maka being hurt..effects him enough as it is..but it's ten fucking times worse when it's his fault..

Fucking Justin..he will rip him apart. He will kill him in the most painful way for causing him to feel this guilt..for what he's done to Maka..

She means so much more to him now..Maka has seen his fear..seen him at his fucking worse..but she didn't look at him differently..no matter how pissed he seemed..she didn't look at him with pity..or amusement. She didn't laugh at him. She saw something that he didn't even want to remember..

But she saw it and made him feel better about it.

Love never starts off at it's highest power..love has to grow..and his love for her has grown. He can't let her go..He has a fucking attachment to her and he knows it. She makes him like this..

And the fact she's hurt because of him is killing him.

Ragnarok doesn't stop his rampage till he's out of breath..his being faded..he pushed himself too hard..but he doesn't care. He takes a deep breath..then lets it out.

Maka..

He disappears..reappearing back in the room.

Crona and Maka are asleep..Crona holding her close..his head nuzzling hers. Maka's face is back to a grimace..she seems to be moving in her sleep..something bothing her.

Ragnarok makes long strides over to her..till he's right by her side..a dark shadow in the night.

"P-Please..I don't want to be here.." She whimpers..clutching Crona in her sleep.

She's having a nightmare..

Ragnarok leans in..resting his forehead against hers. He failed her here..but he won't fail her again. He won't let her suffer.

"..I'm sorry.." The words come from him a whisper..he's never said sorry..why should he? If he did something it was for a fucking reason but..he had to say sorry to her..yet he couldn't do it with her awake..he had to do it with her asleep. The words 'i'm sorry' would never leave his lips if she was looking at him..with those eyes. He's to prideful and he knows it. He is sorry though..he feels it. This guilt..he's never been sorry about anything. Not when it comes to his own actions but..she makes him feel sorry.

She makes him feel a lot of things.

Ragnarok kisses her forehead..

Before he goes inside her..

He won't let her suffer. He'll stop anything that hurts her.

Even her in her dreams.

He failed as her guardian today..

But he won't fail again.

Longest chapter ever..i think it was the longest one? I don't know lol. I write to much..but now that i'm just focusing on this story I have more time. Now after that long ass chapter..i still have some things to say.

Remember how I told you this fanfic was going to a end?..well I was thinking about all the things I have to do..so this story will come to a actual complete conclusion..and well, I actually have a ways to go..um that's not a problem is it? I know this story is long as it is so..

I did the video thing with 'salad fingers' for my little sister. She wanted them to watch it for some reason..so I did that for her XD if you haven't seen salad fingers you should watch it so you know exactly what those three were watching. Also you guys should really check out 'alice the human sarfice' the video they watched is the one with the girl with pig tails on the front of the video. I really like that video even though it's in Japanese. I got the English lyrics from Rockleetist. When I was watching it..i really thought the twins related to Crona and Maka from my story but maybe i'm just weird XD you guys should really check that video out. I probably wasn't that good at describing it in my story.

So please review and let me know what you think:)

Till next time!
