The first punch came. Maka barely flinched when it connected with her cheek, but it was enough for them to chuckle. Maka couldn't block their punches. It was just too hard to get her hands up in time. The one time she did, they easily knocked her arms aside. Maka started to cry out. This was starting to hurt.
One of them picked her up by her pigtails. "Guh" Maka clenched her teeth hoping this would be over soon. Her movements were just too jerky to fight back.
"This'll teach you a lesson." One punched her in the gut, making her double over and knees draw up. Her captor who was holding her hair yanked her back up. Another punched her in the face, splitting her lip. Blood trickled down her chin and she saw the silhouette shake out their hand and they smirked, white teeth flashing in the dark.
Maka was feeling useless now. Her arms that were slowly moving up to shield her face flopped back down to hang at her sides. When will they get tired of this? Soul... Help... A single tear slid down her face, mixing with the blood from her lip. The punches just kept coming. Her forehead was bleeding either from the person holding her hair or from the many fists that were hitting her in the head.
"Heh, hold her against the door. I got somethin planned for her." The one holding her up by her pigtails pushed her against the door and held her their by her shoulder. Maka barely had time to brace herself when the one who spoke kicked her in the gut, hard. She spit up blood and coughed, her captor letting her go and stepping back. Maka slid slowly to the ground, the taste of blood in her mouth.
She gasped for breath as she coughed, each time just a little bit of blood trickling out of her mouth. "Think she's had enough?"
"Yeah. That'll teach her. Lets bail before Stein dissects us because we were late." The door suddenly opened and Maka fell to the ground. Her eyes closed and she blacked out before she could see who hurt her.

(Soul's POV)
I scratched my head. Marie was so boring right now. She was talking about being loyal to your meister even if you change meisters. About halfway through her lecture, a student asked something and she broke down in tears about not being able to retire and have a nice husband. Like she always did. I sigh, thinking about Maka. We kissed twice and she never said anything about it. I was sure as hell not going to bring it up if she didn't like it. I love Maka and that's all there is. I want to say 'I love you' but I'm scared she won't love me back.
The bell finally rings and I jump up, rushing to get to my next class so I can see Maka is safe. I sit in our normals seats and wait for a ashy blond hair makes its way through the door. I see Kid walk through the door and take his seat right in the middle of class, one row above me. "Hey Kid."
"Oh, hello Soul. Where was Maka? She was in first period." What? Maka never made it to second period? I jump up and run out of the class, not answering Kid. I run to Class Crescent Moon and start walking down the halls where Maka would have been. No one is in these halls because everyone in this hall has second period and third period in the same room. I feel horrible for the kids who get Stein two times.
I see a door opened and make my way to it. I know it's a supply closet, the biggest one in the school. I glance behind it and gasp, seeing a broken Maka laying on the floor. "Maka..." Her face is bruised with blood running down it. Her lip is split and her shirt is ripped on one arm, revealing many forming bruises. I carefully pick her up and rush to the infirmary. I burst through the doors and Nygus is about to scold me when she sees Maka lying unconscious in my arms.
"Soul, what happened?" She asks when I set Maka down on one of the beds and she gets to work getting bandages and medicine.
"I have no clue. Maka walked to second period without me and in third period Kid asks me where she is saying she was never in class." Nygus cleans the blood off of my meister's face and puts medicine on her lip. She wraps gauze around Maka's head and takes off her jacket and vest, leaving her in her white collared shirt. Her green tie has blood spatters on it and the collar of her shirt is red.
"Soul. Go to class I have to take care of Maka and I can't have you hovering over my shoulder the whole time." Nygus kicks me out and I grumble but head to class. I can't stop thinking about Maka. Will she be okay?
