Steins POV

"Okay, here is Medusa's soul," Death handed me a black box lined with red ribbon. It was a soul box, a box created with the sole purpose to make sure a soul doesn't decay.

"Thanks," I said taking the box.

"Now be careful, Stein, you never know what could be lurking in the abandoned car dealership, the witches could have a whole army planned out so just get in, make the exchange, and get out!" Death said sternly, returning to Cora's lifeless body on the table.

I don't know what he's going to do with her until I get back, we have to keep the whole thing a secret in fear that Lord Death will be overthrown because of the academy rule that no shinigami leave Death City.

What are the odds? I thought, that two part shinigami found themselves outside Death City! And get married nonetheless! It just blows my mind.

"Hey Dr. Stein!!" Patti yelled at me as I was leaving the academy.

"Patti!" Her sister scolded, " calm down."

"Sorry," she sat on the ground, " what's in the box?!"

"Oh! Um... Er, well," I stammered not being able to come up with a good lie.

"Patti," Liz saved me, "it's obviously something secret! Don't be rude."

"Are you girls still waiting for the new student?" I asked changing the subject.

"Oh! Uh yeah," Liz answered, "She should be here any minute though, I think."

"Mmhmm, well I better get going," I pretty much sprinted out the door, I didn't stop running until I hit the bottom of the long staircase. I regained myself and took a right towards the desert.

It was a hot day, I could feel the sweat building up in my shoes, even I thought it was gross. I turned the screw in my head because my thoughts got going a little sideways. I was so hot!

"Oh!" I said, spotting an old convenience store. "I better not," I said, looking down at what I was wearing. It was an old black trench coat. I could look like I was robbing the place. I didn't have any money so I couldn't buy anything to reassure my innocence.

AIR CONDITIONED! A sign read. I couldn't help myself, I ran, full sprint into the store, it was nice and cool- cold even. I went the opposite way of the register and faked looking at the candy.

I was the only person in the whole store so I'm pretty sure the cashier was only looking at me to make sure I wasn't stealing.

I heard the bell atop the door ring, that's weird, I thought. Who would be this far out of town? I didn't look at who it was but they were panting. They went to the freezers and left. I stayed for about five minutes after the kid left, but I left cause had to make a delivery.

I ascended over a sand dune and saw the old car dealership. There were three witches, two of which I had never seen before. The frog witch, Eureka, I believe, was holding Medusa's lifeless body. Another witch, I'm pretty sure she was a spider witch because she had spiderweb tattoos all down her left arm, was holding a red soul box with black ribbon around the edges. They were guarded by a male witch who had a lightning bolt across his right eye. I put my hood up and walked across the barren desert until I was right in front of the three witches.

"Do you have it?" The spider witch said.

"Right here," I pulled the soul box out of my inside pocket in my coat.

The spider witch held her hand out for me to place it and then wiggled her fingers.

"Ha no," I smiled, "Not until you tell me the cure for Cora's soul works, even after death."

"Well, Mr. Stein," Eureka started, "We don't know the exact constraints of the spell, only Medusa does," she held Medusa's body out to me, "Buuuut it is a witches spell, so I bet the fact that you let little Cora die wouldn't be a problem," she smiled.

I didn't know what to do, I had to hand over Medusa's soul whether they guarantee the spell will work or not. Just the guarantee they'll keep their mouth shut about the whole shinigami thing would be pay enough, but, for the sake of the academy, I needed them to guarantee it so they don't screw us over again.

CORA'S POV

What?! Where am I!? How'd I get here!? WHEN did I get here?!

I was in a brick room, the bricks were grey, moldy, and chipping away. It was like I was in a prison, a convict destined to never see sun again, there weren't any windows. The room itself was large, well, large enough to do a few cartwheels. I looked around, and to my dismay, found no doors either.

"HELLO?" I screamed, "HELLO?!" No one answered. I started to panic and scream for someone, anyone for help. I screamed louder and louder till my throat got numb and I thought of the idea, 'what if something terrible was right outside and I just gave it my location?' That freaked me out. I crouched in the corner so I was able to see every angle of the room. I took a deep breath and tried my soul perception- it didn't work. Not because I couldn't manage it, it was like it wasn't even there.

I began to hyperventilate, I couldn't breathe, my heartbeat was pounding so hard I could feel it in my ears. I closed my eyes and forced my breathing slower. It took time but I finally calmed myself down. I took a deep breath and opened my eyes. I wasn't in the same room as before, I was in my childhood bedroom. Everything was the same except it was all black and white- no color. My bunkbed had no blankets, the walls had no paint, the the dresser had no finish on it- everything was blank. The only thing worth noting is the rocking chair in the corner that I had never seen before.

"Oh great," I whispered, "Where am I now?!"

I turned around to where the door would've been but, surprise surprise, it wasn't there.

"HaHaHaHa," I heard cackling.

"Who's there?" I turned around to find someone in the rocking chair.

"Where am I and who are you?" I asked because the chair was facing away from me.

"HaHaHaHa" the female laughed again, starting to rock.

"What. Is. So. Funny?" I asked getting annoyed. Everything in the room disappeared. I was all alone with witch.
