SoMa at last

Chapter 22

Maka's Pov

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I was dreaming, that much I new for sure. I remember going to sleep, but it was such an absurd dream.

I was running down a dark hallway that never seemed to end. I had a black and red scythe in my hands. I realized after a moment that it was talking to me. It was the voice of soul, the guy whom I apparently live with.

Is he my husband? I thought for a moment then shook my head. I seem to young for that, plus there isn't a ring on my finger. Could he be my boyfriend? no, that doesn't seem right either. I would hope that I would remember my boyfriend. No, we are partners, which seems is how this place works. You have a miester and weapon, working together to defeat keshins.

I'm not sure how I know that but it must be a memory that surfaced. Maybe this dream was actually a memory...

Suddenly the hallway opened into a room that had big red pillars and chains that lay broken at the end. The annoying kid with blue hair was on the ground bleeding, the black haired girl next to him. The boy with white stripes was also there with the two girls I think were twins.

There was another girl whom I don't know, who was wearing a hat so I assumed she was a witch. another man was there, he had spiky dark hair and in a jailers uniform.

I saw these people only for a moment, for I was jumping through a hole in the ceiling after. . . Something.

I had jumped after him and now we were over a city. He was creepy, tied up in rags like he was. I felt like something was supposta happen, like I was supposta do something, but he smiled and I saw his creepy salivated mouth with jagged teeth.

There was a flash of movement and I was falling.

And then I really was falling and I woke with a start when I hit the floor with a loud thud. I bolted up, my blankets twisted around me, and I was sweating. I wiped my brow and tried to slow my breathing. The door opened and soul popped his head in, looking concerned.

"You ok?" he asked.

I nodded, "yeah, I just had a crazy dream, or memory maybe?"

He offered me his hand and I took it. He helped me up and we sat on my bed.

"What was it about?" he asked.

"We were running down a hallway, the kids I met earlier were in a room with pillars, there was another guy and a witch I think. I jumped after a creepy man through a whole in the roof and then he practically knocked me out of the air and I was falling." I explained.

"You remember the day Asura was reborn."

"Who?"

"He was a very powerful Keshin that had eaten his own weapon partner for power. He was a very fearful man, scared of everything, and incited madness all over the world. But don't worry, he's gone now, thanks to you."

"Me?"

He nodded and I pondered the thought for a moment. It was then that I realized Soul was shirtless and this made me blush a little. Then I noticed the scar cutting diagonally across his chest. Something pulled at my memory.

I put my hands on his chest, tracing the scar.

"I did that to you didn't I?"

"Of course you didn't I -"

"Don't lie to me. You got hurt in a battle and it was my fault because I was stupid and careless. I should've been more careful, and someone else got hurt because of my mistake." Tears were in my eyes and I felt crazy for feeling this way.
