Understand Me

Chapter 13: The Way Out

Soul's POV:

"MAKA!"

I can not believe what's in front of my eyes. She seems to have been in a white gown but it has been stained with black blood. Her hair is messy and her eyes look lifeless. I run up to her and lift her up

"Hey soul. I guess you found me." She says, a weak smile spreading across her face.

"Maka! What happened to you?"I ask shocked of her current state.

"I just made a bad choice by opening the wrong door and I payed the price." She says Trying to stand up on her own. I offer to support her but she stops me and mouths I'm fine.

"Maka, you're not okay. Let me help you." I say grabbing her arm and supporting her. She gives a somewhat defeated look and we walk out of the room and down the corridors of her soul.

Maka leads the way hoping to not make the wrong choice again. We make it out of the grey and gloomy hall and back into the bright lights of the white hallway. She closes her eyes for a bit and then points left. I nod and we head down hall after hall hoping to find a way out of this maze.

Finally after a long time we make it to a small room that resembles a library. The room was decorated very victorian like with silky white curtains and velvet chairs. This has to be the center of her soul.

Maka's POV:

Soul leads me into a library like place that has to be the center of my soul he sits me down in a chair and looks for a way out.

Ugh, I feel so useless. I think to myself as I try to get out of the chair. Soul immediately notices and helps me up.

"Soul I don't need your help, I'm fine." He shakes his head and helps me up as we look for the way out.

"Look, over there!" Soul calls helping me over to a strangely placed curtain. He pushes it to the side and a majestic silver double door appears in our sight.

"If this isn't the way out then I don't know what is." Soul says giving a triumphant smirk.

"Yep this has to be it." I reply with a raspy tone. Even though it hurt to speak, I had too or else Soul would try to help me more. I reach for the doorknob and open the door. A white light flashes symbolizing that we are now close to real life. I smile at Soul as we are about to walk in.

"I'm not letting you leave." Soul and I turn around as we see the little red demon before us. He grabs Soul and my legs begin to grow weak. As much as I hate to admit it, I needed his support.

"You're nothing without him aren't you." He taunts blocking Soul from getting to me. "You're just a weak pathetic little girl." He says as I sink into despair.

"That's right, I am weak..." I say looking down I always keep getting defeated and I can never do anything right. Now, Soul is going to pay for my actions again. I look back up at Soul and he notices that the madness is taking me over.

"Maka! Stop! It's just the madness listen to me please." Soul yells. Irritated, the demon snaps his fingers as a forcefield appears. "You're not weak! You're brave, strong, kind. You are most amazing person I have ever met." He adds calming down. "Thats why..." He stops for a bit and looks back up at me with a caring smile."I love you Maka."

I bring my head up higher showing of my shocked expression. Using all the strength I have left I lift myself up. I want to get to Soul but the forcefield is blocking my way, so I head to the demon and kick him as hard as I can. He falls back and I put my foot on him threatening to penetrate him with my heel.

"Bring the forcefield down, Now." I say darkly. He whimpers and snaps his fingers bringing the forcefield down letting Soul come back to me. He picks up the demon as it shrinks and he eats it up again before helping me out. He grabs my arm and puts it on his shoulder as we walk to the door.

"Hey Soul?" I ask looking at my weapon with a smile on my face.

"What?" I whisper into souls ear and a smile grows on his face. We walk into the light and finally make it back to the real world.

Authors note:
