Soul Eater: Creator Soul

Entering Death City:

I can't remember the last time I visited my home. It's been a while. 5 years, or 8? I'm not too sure. All I know is that I've been wandering for a long time, as a homeless person, using what resources I could find and live off of. And to be honest, this is the best life I've lived. I can't imagine being any happier than this.... So why do I feel a little empty?

The city that I wandered into is a new one. I do remember walking through a desert for a while. I didn't get tired, for some weird reason. I walked and walked until I found this city. Am I in a part of Saudi Arabia, Egypt? No, it looks more like a city from Europe. I walked and wandered throughout the city, as I usually did when I came across a new place. I looked around, the place had sort of a halloween ambience. I made it to the Middle of the town when I sat down to rest. It was really warm and sunny as people walked around doing their business. I watched and watched, looking at everyone, studying them. Most felt pretty decent, while others felt a little hostile. I also noticed that they dressed a little differently. Like they were wearing costumes as regular attire. Am I at a convention? The day passed, some people gave me a little food and some money, really nice people. The moon came out. I then left the fountain that was in the middle of the town. I heard a slow laughing sound coming from up above, coming from the moon. So that's a little weird.

As I walked down an alley, I looked at the little amount of money I was given. Huh, I thought. Just enough to take the bus back– back to.... Where? Something strange happened then. I forgot where I needed to return to... Do I even remember what a bus is?.... Yeah, it's a vehicle to carry many passengers. But why do I need to take one? ... I forgot. Suddenly, I heard a scream. I looked up quickly to see a gruesome sight. A woman being brutally murdered by two people. They both looked like pirates of some kind. The woman looked like she was now dead. From her chest, there was a glowing orb, wavering slightly. The pirate next to the one that killed the woman grabbed the soul and split it into two. Then, they gave one piece to the other one, who dropped the corpse. Finally, they feasted on the soul. While all of this was happening, I stared, frozen in both horror and intrigue. Suddenly, the pirate that split to soul pointed at me, gaining the other's attention. I snapped out of my trance, stepping back a bit.

"More souls." the first pirate muttered loudly.

"More... Power!" the second pirate shouted! Immediately, they both ran towards me. Not wasting another second, I bolted to the other direction. I know I'm not a fast runner, but I could try to lose them. I ran back the way I came, hearing the racing footsteps behind me, coming closer and closer! I felt myself become slower. I knew I didn't exercise much, but I could run a little faster than this!!

I closed my eyes and panted as I kept running, feeling my lungs burning and my legs aching. Suddenly, I stepped wrongly on my foot, which caused me to fall. I landed on my hands and face, feeling warm blood spurt from my nose. I sat up slowly, a little shaken from the sudden fall. Then I remembered the pirates that were chasing me. Quickly, I turned around to look for them. From side to side I looked, they weren't there.

Are they trying to sneak up on me? I listened closely for any footsteps, any indication that they might be sneaking up on me. Nothing, but I could feel their presence. I looked around once more before I heard a growling breath over me. I looked above to see the first one's sword ready to swing. Time went slowly as they brought the blade down. I felt myself tense up. There was no way I would get out of this. I've gone as far as I could have gone. I closed my eyes as the blade almost reached my face. This is it. The day I die.

—

A loud clang could be heard and air flew through my hair as I opened my eyes in surprise. I saw the blade flying through the air, and landing in a spot further from me. I looked back in front of me to see a girl with pigtails and a long, black cloak... or is it a coat, I can't tell. She stood in front of me with a scythe in hand. The pirates further away from us shook themselves, as if they were dizzy. They looked back up and growled. The girl didn't say anything at first. Then, she muttered.

"They are too far gone." She said, "They'll soon become Kishin eggs, Soul."

I looked at her a little confused. Who is she talking to? After a moment, she raised her Scythe, ready to strike. The two pirates snarled as they ran towards us. I skitter back, feeling afraid. The girl however, didn't budge. Once they were on top of her, she moved.

One. Two. The pirates both split into two. They then disappeared, leaving behind orbs like the woman before, except they were red with scales. Once it was over and quiet, the girl let go of her scythe. The weapon glowed and transformed into a person. He was a boy with white fluffy hair and a jacket. He took the two orbs, or probably what the girl called "Kishin eggs".

After taking them, he ate them... one after the other. Once he finished, he turned to the girl.

"That was really easy," he said, "don't you think, Maka?"

"Yeah. I'm glad it was." Maka sighed, as if with relief. The boy, who I assume is 'Soul', then looked behind Maka, making eye contact with me. I didn't notice my body aching from shivering so badly until now. He walked over to me and squatted to my eye level.

"Hey." He said quietly, as if making sure not to startle me. "You okay?"

"I–" I tried to say, my body shaking intensely. Stop shaking! Damn it! I thought. "I..."

"It's okay." Maka spoke up, kneeling next to Soul. She smiled a gentle smile. "You're safe. There's no need to be afraid."

She brought a hand out for me to take. I felt myself flinch, though I didn't want to. Then, I felt my head getting lighter. I think I'm getting pale.

"I don't feel so..." I said, my vision starting to fade. Soul took notice of my condition quickly.

"Whoa. Hold on!" He exclaimed. But it was too late. Everything went black.

.............. I passed out........
