BRUTAL LOVE

Chapter 7 Lets Go

Fuzz... fuzz is all I hear now. I can't even hear Soul anymore. Let's think. What do I do? How do I get out? Why am I here? What am I feeling? I'm feeling... loneliness, a bit scared, and worried about Soul, but I'm feeling something else. But what is it? Is it LOVE?

Pictures flood into Maka's head as she remembers all her times with Soul. when they first met. Their first mission. Their apartment, and the fun times. Maka couldnt help but cry from all the memories. The sad, the happy, and even the funny memories. They were hers, from her point of view on the world, from her mind. And the love that she felt is for Soul.

"Wait! Does Soul like me?" Maka thinks back to the kiss in the snow and remembers that he was the one who went in for it. On top of which he also wasn't the first to pull back, she was! "Oh my! I think Soul does like me! Then why hasn't he said something!" Maka continues in a frustrated voice. Trying to make sense of all the nonsense that flooded her brain. A particular memory flows around me, it is more recent, to say the least. It was that battle, the one where I and Soul used the technique. For the first time. Looking back at it hurt, not just emotionally but physically too. As I examine the memory once more I can tell more of the details now.

The scythe grow four times in size, the blade was a bright pink with red mixed in and a little purple. It was able to cut anything in my path. I continued watching and seeing what was going on, this part I didn't quite remember. I watch myself as I went crazy. I went cutting everything in my wake. I could also hear Soul yelling at me to stop and calm down. But there was nothing.

"Why... why did I not stop?" Soul then transformed and once he did I snapped back just in time for Soul to pass out. "I only remember him passing out, I never remembered going berzerk. But that never answered my question on the move." Then after a couple of seconds, it clicked. "That fight appeared after the kiss! Does that have anything to do with the move?" now that I'm thinking about it that fight we were both fighting to protect one another. Could it be a move based on the love we have for each other?

This pale-looking Maka leads me to this next weird building in the middle of nowhere. The room was small and very colorful, unlike everything I've seen so far. "Here, take this as a souvenir" "Why? It is just a small jar filled with a thick reed substance" "Well it's the way out" "Bull crap! Maka is in here isn't she?!" "Well, how about you go find her then?" "I will you see" "Well good luck, but be careful when you open the jar! I can't remember if that one expands or shrinks you to go inside. But either way, you will be consumed by the madness and I will win!!" "we'll see about that"

Im looking around inside the jar there is no sign of life in here and I don't want to drown Maka. "Maka are you in there?" no response. I kinda figured since Maka couldnt hear me the last time. "I guess there is only one way to figure this out. Im going to go in!" I open the cork top of the small glass bottle I can feel my body shrinking down to size. As I fall into the bottle. "MAKA! Are you in here?" I see bubbles in the madness mixture and I can tell it was Maka. I run towards the bubbles to see him completely under. I'm slowly falling into the madness myself as my feet start to sink almost like in the sand.

I try and reach down for Maka but I can't tell what's going on. She is in an almost fetal position. And looks to be passed out. "I have to go and get her!" I let my body sink into the madness. It was a pain to move I was luckily right next to Maka by the time I sunk all the way under. Maka looks to be unconscious at the moment. I was able to grab hold of her and start swimming to the top. The thick madness is holding me back and it doesn't help to hold another person who isn't swimming. What seem like the top wasn't and it was so hard to find out where to go and what to do. My body was aching and my muscles were cramping badly. What seemed like the top was never-ending! "Why" As I kept swimming I eventually made it to the top. My legs, arms, and everything else hurt. And as for Maka well she was still unconscious. And from the looks of it, she had sustained some injuries.

"I have to find a way out" I think for a moment what if a use my arm? I transform my arm into a scythe and break the glass. "Common it was that easy, to begin with!" the liquid madness was pouring out, and me and Maka with it. Before we hit the floor we had grown back to our normal size I had Maka in my arms still and all was good. I was able to help Maka. I was happy.
