I woke up the next morning with Maka on top of me with a big smile on her face. My face started to heat up.
"W-what?" I asked her.
"What did you say before we went to sleep!?" She smiled bigger.
"I... l-l-l-love y-you." I repeated. My face got even hotter and I was tackled by Maka's hug.
"I love you too!" She started to squeeze me and I could feel my lungs lacking air. When she let go of me I struggled to get oxygen but tried to not make it too obvious.
"Whoops, sorry. I didn't mean to squeeze you like that." She giggled. I could feel my face get hotter and i'm sure my blush was already a dark red when I realized that Maka was still on top of me.
"Uh... M-maka..."
"Hm?"
"Y-your still o-on t-top of m-me." I stated.
"Oh, sorry. I made breakfast, get dressed and join me!" She jumped off of me and ran to the kitchen. I slowly got up and got dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and pants. I walked to the kitchen and Maka started to push me towards the table and sat me down in a chair.
"Hurry! It'll get cold!" She said as she shoved me down into my chair. She sat on the other side of me.
"Your happy today." I stated starting to eat my food.
"How can I not be! Especially after what you said to me and what you did for me yesterday. I can't be happier!"
"Well, it took me a while to work up the nerve to say that and I thought it was a perfect time since it was your birthday and you were already in a happy mood. I'm glad that you enjoyed your birthday." I gave her a smile.
"Thank you Crona. I also thought of something that we could do today. Stein mentioned it to me yesterday. I think we should go and practice using our weapons."
"Are you sure? You just met Theresa, do you even know what she looks like in weapon form? Also, isn't it her birthday today? I thought she wanted to go to the arcade." I asked her.
"Yes, no and yes. I want to go and no I haven't seen her in weapon form yet, but that makes it even more exciting! Yes, it's her birthday but last night she changed her mind about going to the arcade."
"Okay. Well I guess, what time do you want to go?" I asked her as I finished off my food.
"Hm, how about 1 or 2? It'll give us enough time to practice, come home and eat, and then I have a surprise for you." she said taking our plates to the sink.
"Sounds good." I told her, "What should we do till' then?" I asked her.
"Hmm. Well, I think we better have an adult with us just in case, so let's go talk to should probably clean up the apartment a little too." she said.
"Okay." We both cleaned the apartment up. It was really messy but luckily not too hard to clean up. It was mostly just a bunch of plates and plastic cups that were left on the couch or on the floor, a couple of napkins here and there. It only took us about an hour and a half to clean up the trash and wipe the counters and the table off. We also put away all of Maka's birthday gifts. By then, it was only 9 a.m. so we started to walk to Stein's. The walk there was pretty, the leaves on the trees were multi colored with red, yellow, orange, and a little green. The wind was warm and had a crisp smell. It was peacefull and I could tell that Maka was enjoying it, especially when we were walking through the park. When we got to Stein's house the pretty kind of died down and it was a little gloomy looking, but it looks a lot better compared to what it used to look like. Marie has definitley added her own touch to the place. When we knocked on the door we expected for Marie to jump out and hug us to death like she usually does, but she didn't. We were about to leave when the door slowly creaked open.
"Oh, hi kids." Marie yawned.
"Did we wake you up?" Maka asked her.
"No, I woke up a while ago, i'm just being a little slow today. Good thing it's Sunday." She said.
"Okay, is Stein here?"
"No, he went to talk to Death. What's up?"
"Oh, we were going to go practice today and were wondering if he could watch over us." Maka said.
"Well, he won't be home for the rest of the day, but I can call Justin." Marie said.
"That'll work, thank you."
"Your welcome, come inside you don't have to sit out there." Marie said opening the door even more. We said thank you again and we went inside. We sat on the couch and waited for Marie to call Justin. She walked into the kitchen and we could hear her pick up the phone and dial numbers. After a moment, we could hear Marie speaking to someone.
"I'm surprised he picked up, he always has those earphones in." she whispered to me. I giggled and agreed with her. I remember when we went to that one village and were attacked by a golem, Arachne and that one guy.. what was his name again? Jared? No, it started with a G. George? Nope, thats not it. Gikil? Definitley not... My thoughts were interupted when Marie walked into the living room.
"He said he'll be glad to watch you guys. You guys can just meet him out there." Marie said sitting down.
"Does he know when we'll be going?" Maka asked her.
"He said that he'll follow his instinct that follows Lord Death, i'm not sure what that means, but i'm not going to question him. I'm sure he'll be there by the time you guys get there."
"Okay, thank you again Marie. Your so very nice." Maka said.
"Your welcome. Should I make some tea?"
"No, we're leaving. But, thank you for the offer. We have to go do something." She said.
"Okay, but know that your always welcome here. See you later." she waved us goodbye as we left. Our walk was just as peacefull on the way home as it was on the way there. When we got home I plopped down on the couch as Maka picked up our house phone and called someone.
"Hey! So we are going to go practice, you want to come over?" I could hear someone talking on the other line for a minute, sounded like a girl, "Great! See you in a bit. Goodbye." She hung up the house phone and plopped down next to me.
"Theresa will be here in about half an hour. She was getting Deathbucks with her sister."
"She has a sister?" I asked.
"Yeah, I didn't know either. I don't want to ask her who she is though, it's not any of my buisness."
"I understand." I turned on the T.V. while we waited for Theresa to get here. It was about noon, so Maka got up and started to make sandwiches. I wasn't really hungry, but I don't like to refuse Maka. When Theresa got here, Maka made her a sandwich and we all ate and chatted for a while. We were about to leave when we heard banging on the door. Maka answered it and she backed up a little.
"Maka! How dare you!" I heard Soul yell. I walked over to the door. I understand why Maka backed up a little, Soul smelt terrible. It looked like he hasn't showered for a while and when he talked something smelt fowl.
"Soul? Why are you here, what are you talking about?" Maka asked him.
"You never invited me! I am your friend and you abandoned me!" I could see him drop something, it looked like a bottle of some sort with a clear liquid inside.
"Soul, go home. Your drunk. Where's your partner?"
"That doesn't matter! Answer my question." I could see... tears? Yeah, tears run down his face.
"Soul... Ugh fine. I don't know what your talking about. Invited to what?"
"Your birthday!"
"My birthday? Really? Why would you care, it's not like you cared before."
"Don't say that! You abandoned me! How can you abandon a friend!" He threw something in a envelope at her.
"Hey! Knock it off or leave." I told him.
"What are you gonna do? Slap me?" he slurred. I could feel my anger rising.
"Ugh, Soul your giving me a headache. I never abandoned you, i'm not even your friend." She said. Soul's face turned red and tears started to fall down his face like a stream. Theresa picked up the envelope he threw and set it on the table. She stayed over by the couch.
"How can you say that! After all we've been through!" He screamed.
"Soul, again I don't know what your talking about. Calm down, your gonna have the neighbors calling the cops on don't you just leave already? I'll call your partner to come get you."
"No!" Soul threw his fist and it hit Maka. Maka fell down and I couldn't hold my anger in any longer. Theresa pulled Maka back and onto the couch. I punched Soul in the face and I watched him stagger back and hit the wall. He hit the floor and passed out, I could see blood gushing out of his nose down onto his shirt, I think I broke it. I slammed the door shut and ran to Maka. She wasn't crying but she was holding her eye with her hand.
"Theresa will you call Soul's partner to come get him please?" Maka asked her calmly. Theresa ran to the phone and started to dial some numbers in.
"Are you okay? Where did he hit you? Let me see." I said panicking.
"He got me right in my eye. Calm down, i'm fine." She moved her hand away from her eye. It looked swollen and I could already see it turning blue.
"Do you want some ice? It looks pretty bad."
"Yeah, please. I don't think we got any raw meat." I ran to the freezer and grabbed an ice pack.
"Meat? Why would you put meat on your eye?" I asked handing her the ice pack.
"It helps." She winced as she placed the ice on her eye.
"Are you sure your okay? We don't have to go practice now if you don't want to." I told her.
"No, we're still going to practice. I'm fine, nothing too bad." She said.
"Amanda said she'll be here soon. She was looking everywhere for him." Theresa said.
"So Soul just ditched her somewhere while he was drunk and came here? Pathetic." Maka said.
"Where is he?" Theresa said.
"Passed out in the hall." I answered.
"Crona! Your hand, its bleeding." Maka said. I looked down at my hand, it was covered in blood. But, I don't think it was any of mine.
"It's uh... not mine." I said.
"What?" she said confused.
"I punched him, I think I broke his nose..." I said. I'm not guilty for it either, I was glad to get to punch Soul.
"Oh... Okay. Oh crap..." She said.
"What?" I started to get worried.
"It's nothing, I think that i'll be able to handle it. But, we have school tomorrow and Spirit's supposed to have some kind of speech in Stein's class."
"Oh no! What are we gonna do? S-spirit's gonna think that I d-did i-it! No, no, no, no, no!" I started to panic.
"Woah, calm down. It'll be okay. I'll just tell him that I ran into the kitchen cabinet, i'm a clutz."
"He won't believe you! I know he won't, he'll-" Maka grabbed my hand and I quit my rambling.
"Sit down, calm yourself. Everything will be okay." I sat down by Maka and I could feel my nerves relax.
"I'm going to be sure that Soul doesn't get up and leave before Amanda get's here." Theresa said.
"See? It's okay, Soul will leave, we'll go practice and everything will be fine." She reassured me.
"O-okay." I thought for a moment, "You were having such a good day too. I'm sorry." I said.
"I know, but you don't have to apologize, it's not your fault." She told me. I could feel her calming soul wavelength and it started to make me relax a little bit. We sat there with eachother for a while and waited for Theresa to tell us that Soul was gone. When she did, we got up and got ready to leave.
"So what's in the envelope?" Theresa asked.
"Don't know, haven't looked at it yet." Maka replied. Maka picked up the envelope and pulled out a card that said 'Happy Birthday' on it and another one that said 'I'm sorry'. She opened the birthday one first and started to read. She then pulled something out of it. Money? Yep, he gave her money.
"What's the other one?" Theresa asked.
"I'm not sure, but we better get going so we don't keep Justin waiting." We all agreed and left the apartment. Stein said that it would be better if we practiced in the forest where Arachne's lair used to be. I understand, the place is already really messed up and if we cause damage, it's not like we're breaking anything important. We got there and were meeted with Justin, like promised. He was in his usual car/motorcycle/vehicle thing (whatever it is), but for some reason he had a coffin attached to it. He told us it was just in case, it made us nervous.
"Crona, did you hear me?" Maka asked me.
"What?" I must of been spacing out...
"I asked you if you were ready yet."
"Oh, uh... i'm going to warm up a bit. You guys go ahead and practice." I answered. She just nodded and started to talk to Theresa. I guess I failed to mention that I can only keep Ragnarok out for about five minutes... But, only because I can feel the black blood start to reject me and I don't want to go too far. If I do, then my body turns into a rag doll and the black blood lashes out. I'd rather not do that because 1: it's creepy 2: it hurts like hell, pretty much feels like you just jumped off a building and broke every bone in your body. Yeah, not fun. I turned my attention back up to Maka and Theresa. It looks like Theresa is getting ready to turn into her weapon form. Theresa jumped up for a moment with light shining around her and then she turned into a scythe. Wait a minute... A double sided scythe? This is interesting... Theresa landed in Maka's hands as if she was as light as paper. Theresa's scythe form is beautiful, blue and orange flames decorated the blades, the background looked like stars on a dark night, and the handle was black.
"Wow Theresa, you look amazing!" Maka said.
"Thank you. I was impressed too when I first transformed."
"Wait, are you double sided? That is so cool! I'm definitley kicking someone's ass." She gave a determined smile. I started to laugh. She glanced at me and gave me a dirty look but quickly turned away and started to swing Theresa. I could tell that they resonated well with eachother, that's good. I started to laugh again.
"If you keep laughing i'll kick your ass first." Maka pointed at me.
"I-i'm sorry." I giggled. She started to walk towards me so I quit laughing and raised my hands up like she was pointing a gun at me. She stopped, smiled and walked back to where she was. They started practice as swinging, then certain moves and so on. After about an hour, they stopped and took a break.
"Aren't you supposed to be practicing with us?" Maka said.
"Uh, yeah... I've been preparing myself." I lied.
"No you haven't, you've just been standing there watching us."
"Mentally."
"Your really bad at lieing." she stated. My face turned pink in a blush.
"Phew, i'm tired." Theresa said turning into her normal self.
"Me too. Let's have a small break and then continue later." Maka said. Theresa went over to talk to Justin, well attempted to. His eyes were closed and you could faintly hear his music through his earbuds. She had to tap him on his shoulder to get his attention. Maka walked over to me.
"How come you haven't been practicing?" She asked me.
"I'm scared." I admitted.
"Why are you scared?"
"I can't keep Ragnarok out longer than five minutes in weapon form."
"Why?"
"Because I don't want to push him. I can feel the black blood rejecting me and I don't want it to lash out."
"Oh." Is all she said. I think she understands, she saw it lash out at the church when we first met and when we fought underneath the DWMA, when she became my friend. The black blood isn't made for defeat or too much stress, if it's pushed too far it'll lash out and where I have a small amount of it in my body, it has to work harder to function correctly. I hope Stein finds a way to fix it, I could die if I lose too much of it.
"Hey, are you okay?" Theresa asked me. I snapped back into reality and nodded with a smile.
"You ready?" Maka asked her. Theresa nodded and they went back to practicing. I'll practice with them later, when I feel like I need to. Another hour and a half passed, I don't think i've ever been this bored in my entire life. I finally started to practice with them.
"Ragnarok." I called. 'Shut up bitch.' I heard him say. I rolled my eyes and grabbed him as he turned into a sword. Did I also mention that he's even smaller than before? Yeah, it's hard to keep a hold of him now. I started to swing him around and practiced my stances. I could hear a faint swishing kind of sound and as soon as I realized what it was and where it was coming from I ran behind Maka and yelled, "Watch out!" I swung my blade up just in time to hit the flying object which flew into the ground. I looked down at it, it looked like a... star?
"Black Star is that you?" Maka yelled.
"God Dammit! That was the perfect shot too!" I heard a male voice yell from the trees.
"That's not Black Star." I stated. I held Ragnarok up ready for whatever this man was going to throw at us. Justin ran by our side ready to fight with us.
"Stand aside, let me handle it." He said. We let him, but I still stayed cautious. I heard another swishing sound and brought my sword up again to hit a flying object. It just barely missed Maka.
"Why are things being thrown at me!?" Maka yelled furiously.
"God Dammit! Kid, hit that again and your dead!" He yelled from the trees. His voice sounded familiar...
"Come out! Face your crimes in the name of Lord Death!" Justin yelled. I heard another swishing sound and this time it came towards me, Justin put his arm out and hit the star with his blade.
"That was my last one god dammit! Alright, you asked for it!" We heard rustling from the trees and a figure come out screaming, "Saw Leg!" Uh oh... It's that one guy! What was his name though? I can't remember it... Justin blocked with his blade connected to his arm.
"Ah, so we meet again Giriko." Justin said.
"That's his name! Giriko!" I blurted on accident. My face turned pink in embarrassment.
"You forgot me? How could you forget me you little brat!" Giriko's eyes flared up in anger.
"Well that's easy." Maka said trying to piss him off!
"I'm going to cut your neck off! All of you! I spent months practicing star throwing and was proud of myself. But when I go to hit an actual target you guys dodge it like it's only air! You pieces of shit!" He yelled at us.
"It's not our problem that you suck." Maka said. I could see the flame in Giriko's eyes grow. Giriko then smiled and started to howl like a wolf. What the hell? Did he just go crazy or something? We could hear large footsteps come from behind us. A big golem appeared from nowhere and stopped in front of us.
"What is that hideous thing?" Maka said.
"You little bitch! That's Timmy, he's gorgeous! The first golem to ever be created with the goals of murder and suffering without a witch's soul! I made him myself." Giriko said.
"He'll probably fail just like your star throwing." Maka laughed. I started to laugh too.
"Alright thats it! Timmy, death to the children." Giriko said smiling, "And I get to fight you, you mother fucking religous obsessed freak!" Justin and Giriko started to fight while the golem charged at me and Maka.
"M-maka, I don't know how long Ragnarok will last." I said starting to feel him weaken.
"Just try Crona! We can't give up!" Maka said swinging Theresa at the golem.
"O-okay." I sliced my wrist and threw my blood at the golem, "Bloody Needle!" The blood hardened into a saucer and sliced through one of his sides. My wrist was still bleeding but I could feel the blood trying to heal it. Maka got a couple of hits into the golem when I distracted him with my blow. He fell backwards and layed still for a moment. But we knew he wasn't finished yet. He started to get up and we attacked him while he was struggling. 'Sorry bud but i'm out' I could hear Ragnarok say. 'No! We can't give up yet, we can't. Maka is counting on me.' I told him. 'Alright but your the one asking for pain.' Ragnarok replied. I ignored his comment and continued to fight. I could feel the blood start to reject me and I got a couple of hits into the golem before I had to step back.
"M-maka, I can't. I-it's about to r-reject me." I told her.
"Crona try to hold out longer! We can get it while it's down- Crona!" She yelled. I looked over and the golem smacked me, which sent me flying into a tree. My left shoulder smacked into the tree first which slowed me down but sent me face first into another tree. I landed on my left shoulder again and I could hear cracking sounds. Tons of pain shot through my shoulder which made me yelp a little. I stood up and looked at it. It was twisted at a odd angle but it didn't hurt enough to be broken, I think I only popped it out of place.
"Crona are you okay?" Maka said blocking another attack from the golem.
"I-im fine! Don't worry about me!" I yelled back. Ragnarok wasn't in my hand anymore, I think he went back into my blood. I tried to make him go back into a sword but he refused. 'No! I'm tired and i'm going to sleep. Your fault if you get hurt you wimp.' he said. 'Ragnarok! The fight isn't over! If Justin kills Giriko today you can have his soul.' I said. 'Really? You know that's against the rules at the DWMA?' he said. 'I don't care just turn back into a sword so we can fight.' 'Alright, fine. But you owe me a soul whether its human or not.' He said finally turning back into a sword. Justin please don't kill Giriko today, I prayed to myself. I better not regret my decision... I ran back out to Maka and the Golem blocking a swing from his arm that about hit Maka. I had to raise my left arm up as a support for my sword, it sent throbbing pain through my shoulder and I held back my yelp.
"Crona, your hurt." Maka stated.
"I'm fine, worry about the fight." I told her. She nodded and cut at the Golem's hand causing him to pull back. He tried to punch Maka but failed and gave Maka a free shot at his face. The Golem fell backward but caught himself and leapt back up. He used his momentum to throw a punch at Maka but before it hit her I blocked it. It wasn't a very good block because I was again sent flying into the trees. This time I hit my head and landed on my leg wrong. I heard a small crack and pain shot through my leg, worse than my shoulder. I think I actually broke my leg and my black blood can't heal it! Of course when i'm helpless the black blood has to fail on me. I sighed and stood up. Walking back to Maka and the Golem, pain shooting through my leg every step I took. (I have no idea how my leg could withstand my weight.) I slightly whimpered each step trying to hold back my scream.
"Crona, your hurt too bad. You don't have to fight now." Maka said to me.
"No, i'm gonna fight even if it kills me." I said. I'm not lieing either, I'll die if I have to. I know I tried to run before, but now I feel like I have a responsibility. I won't give up. I could feel my black blood trying it's hardest to fix my wounds and broken bones but it's too much for it to handle. I can feel it slowly trying to reject me. I have a feeling that Ragnarok's trying to fight it off, but its inevitable. I started swinging at the Golem again trying to get a good shot on it.
"Crona watch out!" Maka jumped in front of me and took a blow that sent her flying. Well, we might as well be birds, because this son of a gun keeps giving us flying lessons. Why the hell is this Golem so freaking strong? What did Giriko do, give it tons of steroids?
"Maka! Are you alright?" I yelled keeping my eyes on the Golem. When I didn't hear a response I turned around to see Maka knocked out on the ground. Her head was bleeding, not gushing thank goodness. Theresa was passed out too, she doesn't look hurt though. I turned back around in time to dodge a hand coming at me, I grabbed it's thumb. It pulled me upward and I used this as a chance to attack it's face. I stabbed it's eye hoping that if I make it blind we'll have a better chance of winning. I pulled my sword back out and stood on it's head. I jumped over a hand that came at me (god he uses his hands a lot) and fell off his head... I caught myself by lodging my sword into his other eye socket, making him completely blind. I could start to feel my black blood reject me. If it does reject me, Ragnarok will dissapear and I will be sent falling to the ground. I looked down to see how far I was from the ground. My only thought was, this is going to hurt like hell. Like I expected, Ragnarok dissapeared and my body was sent down to the ground. The needles being jabbed out of my body kept stabbing the Golem as I went down, hopefully that did some damage to him. His hand hit me though as he tumbled backward and I was sent into more of the trees. I feel like a freaking full fledged eagle, I might as well be sent to get an award for flying lessons. I'm really annoyed with being sent flying into the stupid trees. I hit a tree pretty hard and heard more cracking sounds. I couldn't tell what I broke this time though, the rejection has sent me into pain hell. I felt like I just fell off a sky scraper into a road and was run over by a ton of heavy weight tanker trucks. I looked over at Justin, his fight with Giriko seems weak. It didn't even look like Justin was trying, he kept dodging every attack Giriko made. If Justin wasn't so busy messing around maybe me and Maka wouldn't be like this. No, I shouldn't think that, he's busy trying to tire out Giriko so he can have a chance at getting to the Golem. I looked over at the Golem, I watched as he turned into a pile of gears and dust. Huh, guess the rejection sort of saved me... for once. I looked over at Maka right before everything blacked out. All of the sudden I was in a forest, but not the one we were just in. It looked like the forest that leads to Medusa's hideout. I didn't move, I just looked around trying to figure out what I should do. It's dark, it's cold, I can't see the moon, and i'm alone. I'm not really scared, I grew up in this atmosphere and so I usually enjoy being here. I tried to leave behind the darkness and the comfort of it, but I can't really help it. I decided to walk around and figure out why i'm here, also how did I get here? I finally stumbled upon Medusa's old hideout, I wonder what it's like now that she's dead. I walked inside, it looks exactly as we left it. I could see a stain of my blood, I winced at the memory. Wait a minute, didn't I break my leg and shouldn't my shoulder be popped out of place? I started to examine myself, oh... What the hell? I'm so freaking confused... I'm not wearing my pants and shirt, i'm wearing my old dress. Uhhhhhh... What am I supposed to think of this, what am I supposed to do, why am I here? Can someone answer my questions please!? I started to look around more, trying to find something important.
"Welcome, child." I heard her slithering voice. I stopped in my tracks and started to shake.
"M-m-m-medusa?" I turned around to see her floating on her tail.
"Ahh, yes you remember. Then again, how can you forget your own mother?" She laughed, "You have done well, you've gotten close to that disgusting girl. Are you ready for your next assignment?"
"N-no! S-she's my g-g-g-girlfriend. I will n-not h-hurt h-her." I told her.
"Excuse me?" She started to laugh evily, "Oh, now I know your joking. You are a child from me, you cannot love. It is impossible, such a disgusting word. Now, listen to me my child. Your next mission is important, now I know you will not dissapoint your mother, will you?"
"N-no Lady M-medusa." Wait, what am I saying? I can't help her! But she's right, I can't refuse her, shes my mother. I would need help if I was going to try to say no to her, she'd try to kill me and I would die, again. I don't think I could kill her at all, she knows all of my weaknesses.
"Good boy, now listen carefully. You've done well getting close to the DWMA students and staff. Stein even has gotten close you you," she giggled, "Perfect. Alright, you know that there is another kishin right? Some foolish boys accidently opened it up and the madness is slowly spreading. It will reach you soon and you will feel a surge of power. The black blood will activate once again and you'll be welcomed to madness. Stein and the foolish lord death will send you on the mission to kill it. It will be a while before they do send you, but they will be depending on you. When you meet this Kishin, I want you to fall into the madness with great strength. You will hide and build an army with the witches, wear your dress so they think your female. Then, attack the DWMA and take it over. Kill Lord Death." She told me. I started to shutter and shiver in fear. Kill Lord Death? How, why? I can't, even with the powers of the newly revived kishin. It's impossible, the last kishin was able to nearly kill him but me? I won't even think about it.
"Y-y-y-y-yes Medusa." I answered.
"Very good. You remember how to open the portal to the witches world?" She asked me.
"Yes." I know very well how to open the stupid portal, I tried to forget it but it's fried into my brain.
"I am not able to complete this mission, for all I am is a pitiful ghost. Ugh, I hate being like this. Which is why i'm counting on you Crona, my child." Her face twitched in disgust for a moment before she pulled an evil smile.
"Y-yes L-lady Medusa." I answered. I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to, I can't!
"If you fail to complete this simple thing you will be punished. I may only be a ghost, but i'm still a witch." She's right, some witches if they die can keep there soul alive as a ghost. They haunt people, i'm surprised she's only haunted me so far. Oh great, does this mean that i'm gonna start having nightmares again?
"Now, our time is up. Leave me to my hideout and run back to the DWMA." She said. I only nodded and started to run. I ran for what seemed like forever. The forest looked like it was getting longer and longer, then it started to rain. It wasn't cold, there was no wind, I couldn't see a single cloud. But a warm rain started to shower over me and I could feel sadness. My eyes teared up. Why am I crying? I should be used to this atmosphere.
"Crona, please, Crona." I heard a faint voice. It sounded like Maka? Yeah Maka, but where is she?
"Maka! Where are you!" I yelled.
"Crona, please wake up." I heard her say again. Wake up? Am I asleep? That would explain why I ended up here and why i'm wearing this. When did I go to sleep though? I don't remember... Did I pass out during the battle? I think I did... Is the battle still going and she's trying to wake me? What if she's in trouble! I have to wake up, I have to wake up, I have to wake up, I have to wake up! I started to hit my face and run around, trying everything that I thought would wake me up. When I opened my eyes again, I was still in the forest. I started to cry, why can't I wake up? I cried for a while before I could feel the air around me lighten a little. The rain stopped and it started to brighten. As the light grew stronger, the trees faded and I could hear voices. But whose? I looked around me and could see snakes on my legs and on my arms. I started to punch and push the snakes off of me. Then I can only see white.
Major cliffhanger! Sorry guys, i'm being a little slow updating and writing my stories. I have to study for my learner's permit and that book is gigantic! I have to study for a whole 4 hours a day (says my adults). Anyway, going on about the story and not me... How are you guys liking the story? So far the reviews are telling me i'm doing a good job. But keep leaving reviews and don't forget to leave suggestions! Also, don't forget questions if you have them. I love hearing what you guys say, it makes me feel like a good person. Even if it's something like "I don't like it" or "Can you fix this?", I don't take them as insults they are constructive critisism for me. =) Even a "What the crap is this? I hate it, no good." isn't a insult to me. Not everyone is going to like the story, I understand that. Anyway, your guys reviews are the only thing that keep me writing. I wish I could reply to all of you, sometimes I can't because they are only guest viewers. Thank you all for sticking around, it means a lot to me. Do you guys want me to open up an email for fanart? Well, see you next chapter! Bye Bye!
