Scythe Meister (A Soul Eater Fanfiction)

Pain and Tears

"Hehehe..." I laughed nervously and rubbed the back of my neck and glanced back at the sleepy Soul. He woke up a little more and sat up straight, looking at me suspiciously. I decided to do it quickly when he said something totally unexpected.

"Is it about the nightmare you've been having recently?" I tensed and slowly turned towards him. His face was concerned. Damn it! How did he know?!

"How do you know about that?" He tilted his head down so I couldn't see his eyes behind the shadows of his bangs. He stayed silent and I got more irritated. "HOW DO YOU KNOW!?" He sighed and said,"Yelling at me at 4:00 in the morning isn't cool, Maka. You wake up a lot in your sleep, screaming." Oh. I dropped to my knees with relief and disbelief. On the one hand, he didn't know the contents of the recurring dream. On the other, I screamed loud enough to wake up Soul. I must of scared him the first couple times...huh. Soul got out of bed and carefully walked towards me. During the mission in Italy and the fight with the Kishin, I let Soul hurt.

And I couldn't stop it.

After the Kishin had exploded, I had started having the dream every night. I put my head in my hands. Every single night, I had to watch Soul die because I wasn't strong enough or good enough to protect myself. Tears formed at the corners of my eyes. Soul hunkered down next to me and wrapped his arms around my shoulders. We were silent for a couple minutes as I cried my eyes out. After I was done, Soul whispered in my ear,"You done? Good. We need to talk about this. It's obviously upsetting you and you still didn't tell me for this long. We need to talk this out." I violently shook my head and stood up quickly, leaving Soul crouched on the floor. He also got up and grabbed my shoulder. I understood. He wasn't going to let this go. I sighed and dragged him so we were both sitting on the bed.

I started my story."Starting on the night we defeated the Kishin, I started getting dreams where I start out in a dark, empty, cold room. I always hear a sound behind me and I turn around. You are there, holding out your hand, and I run towards you, glad that someone is there with me. Then, someone comes out of the shadows in the room and you turn into a scythe. We end up fighting her until I'm exausted, and she raises her sword for the final blow. Then you turn back into a human, and take the blow for me. A-and then y-you-" I sobbed and covered my face with my hands, tears rolling down my cheeks."You die. I always scream and ask who she is, but she only answered me tonight. She said...she said that I'll find out who she is soon. Then she added that I had two souls within my meister soul. That they would be my undoing." Soul was silent and his face was shadowed. "S-soul?" He lifted his gaze and his eyes showed pain. Deep pain.

"You saw me die?"
