AAARGH! I'm so sorry it's been so long but, y'know, school and stuff. Thankfully it's vacation so I can write all day and all night. I also have a question for you: Should Maka and Soul become a couple or just really really really close friends? Please, let me know in the comments.


"I want you to meet someone." Soul said with a big smile on his face. He opened the door further and stepped aside so his black haired friend could come in. When Kid entered the living room he saw Maka reading a book out of boredom and Crona creepily looking at Kid. Maka looked up with an emotionless face and looked down again.

"Nice to meet you, Death the Kid. I've heard a lot about you." She said still reading. Crona stood up and walked towards Kid with a creepy smile and shook the black haired boy's hand.

"N-Nice to meet you." Crona stuttered. Kid looked confused at Maka, then at Crona. He turned around and stared at Soul with a face that said "Where the heck did you find these people?". Soul grinned and walked towards the couch. He sat down next to the reading girl. Maka closed the book with a bang and put it away. Crona jumped at the loud noise that the book made and sat down next to Maka, grabbing her arm. Kid wondered if these weird people were insane or just putting up an act. He sat down next to Soul and stared at the pink haired boy who was holding the annoyed looking girl's arm like a little kid.

"Nice to meet you all. I didn't catch any names, could you please tell me?" Kid said looking at the ground.

"Maka, Maka Albarn." Maka said while trying to pull her arm out of Crona's tight grip.

"C-Crona, sir." Crona stuttered. Maka picked up her book.

"MAAAKAAA... CHOP!" She yelled and slammed the pink haired boy on the head. He quickly let go and rubbed over his head.

"W-Why do you a-always do that?" Crona asked. Maka hmpf'ed him and turned around to see Kid and Soul whispering. She didn't catch any words but she saw Kid's lips move and form the word: Dead. Kid noticed Maka stare at him, quickly stopped whispering and changed the subject.

"So, Maka, where did you and Soul meet, if I may ask?" Kid asked politely.

"Why'd you want to know?" Maka asked, still looking suspicious.

"Just curious." The black haired boy answered.

"An alleyway." Maka answered as casual as possible.

"Interesting..." Kid said, now looking at the pink haired boy who was still rubbing his head.

"And you, Crona, how do you know Soul?" Kid asked.

"Oh, w-we just met, sir, M-Maka introduced me to him." Crona stuttered shy. "This is getting weirder and weirder by the minute. Soul, what the heck are you planning?" Kid thought to himself.


*01:00 am.*

"M-Maka, are you okay in t-there?" A voice asked.

It was coming from the cold wall at her left. How did the voice know her name? She crawled towards the wall, unable to walk with the chains on her ankles. The cold floor was scratching her knees. Finally she reached the wall.

"Who are you? How do you know my name?" She asked, staring in the dark.

It kept quiet for a few moments making her think she had been hallucinating it, but to her surprise the voice spoke again.

"C-Crona, They y-yelled out your name q-quit a few times in t-the hallway." The voice stuttered.

She wasn't listening anymore. The door to her cell opened, revealing a dark figure.

"Time to go, Albarn. It's your 5th now, isn't it?" The voice of the dark figure sounded like something straight out of a horror movie, but she recognised it. He was using a device to change his voice, That must be it.

"Yes, sir." Of course it was her 5th, how did he not know? The figure walked towards her to take off her chains. a little bit of light fell into her cold, lonesome cell she now called home. The key in the chain locket clicked and she felt the weight on her ankles disappear. The figure now tied her hands together, forcing her to stand up and follow him to the room every test animal was afraid of. She lowered her head and closed her eyes as she quietly followed the figure. She knew exactly where she had to go. It was already her 5th time. 4 experiments down, 6 more to go. She opened her eyes and looked at the person who was bringing her to hell on earth. She noticed he was wearing a mask, only seeing black, short strands of hair covering his neck. They reached the door she was so afraid to open. with an ear worming sound the door opened. The figure untied her hands and brutally forced her onto the chair, and tied her up again. She didn't even struggle anymore, knew it would only make it worse. She could only close her eyes and pray it would be over soon...

"miss Albarn, are you ready?" The voice that made her hair stand up asked. No, she wasn't ready. She would never be ready. It wouldn't make a difference though.

"Yes, miss Medusa." She answered. She heard the sound of metal on metal and soon felt the cold knife dig deep into her arm. She screamed but quickly stopped herself when the masked figure, who apparently was watching this all, slapped her. The burning pain in her arm was almost unbearable, but she knew she couldn't do anything. She felt the same knife, now in her other arm, making her scream again. She opened one eye to see the blood gushing out of her arms. tears began streaming down her face, making the masked figure laugh.

"Here comes it, miss Albarn." Maka clenched her teeth. She shut her eyes and prayed she could die. Just here and now. The pain came anyway. She felt the black blood rushing into her body. She couldn't control herself anymore. She screamed until her throat got soar. She now felt the black blood destroying her every thought. Every happy moment she ever felt...

Maka woke up, sweat dripping down her face. She looked at her left, seeing Soul's worried face. Nightmare... It was all just a flashback...


Holy frick! This is the longest chapter so far! I'm sorry I was a little late, again. But it's vacation now, so I have some free time to work out the story. Hope you all liked the flashback, dream, nightmare part, it was fun to write. I just wanted you guys to actually read what all the experiments were and how bad all the test animals were treated so you could understand Maka in this story some more. Okay so this was all, see you next time, my lovely reader ;).
