Emma's POV
I walked in to the closest coffee shop and sat down with my IPod on full blast with my headphones in. I ordered a black coffee and pulled out my headphones to read. As I was reading I overheard a very interesting conversation.
"Dude , are you going to the DWMA to be a weapon?!" Shouted one of the two boys. My ears perked up at the word weapon. He was one too?
"Yeah , it's in Death City. It's actually not far from here," Said the other teen. I took a sip off my coffee and looked up how far away this so called 'DWMA' was. It was 80 miles from here
"Shit..." I mumbled under my breath. It would be worth going to , I had no one else go teach me how to control this...condition.
I drank the rest of my coffee and handed the waitress my bill. I gathered all my stuff that I had and started to make my way to this DWMA place.
I didn't have much on me , just my backpack , which is full of some clothes , my IPod charger , and some cosmetics. I've never felt the need to have anything else. Of course I always had my wallet on me , but there was one thing that I NEVER took off; my beanie. It meant the world to me. It was completely black and it was really worn by now , but it's mine. My mother gave it to me , before she was murdered that is.
'Man , I really miss my family...'
My family had only been murdered three years ago. And without any family that actually wanted me , I was put in an orphanage. It sucked there. Everyone was always gloomy and depressed. And that just wasn't my style. I might be shy and pretty quiet , but I'm usually a happy going person. I broke out of that place and ran away about a year ago. Now , I've been living on the streets , exploring the United States. It was truly the best adventure ever. I got jobs here and there to pay for food and more clothes and shoes. The past year has probably been the best year I've had in a while.
After about an hour , I found myself at the train station. I payed for a ticket and quickly hopped on before it left. Hopefully this school will be the best for me to control my power...

"Young lady , we have arrived in Death City. Please wake up," I heard a voice say as they shake me awake. It was one of the workers on the train. I stand up and gather my things.
"Thank you , for waking me up sir," I said and he gave me a grand smile. I guess he doesn't hear the word thank you enough.
I jumped off the train and was taken back. This city...was breathtaking! It thrived with people. It was amazing. I started to walk through the streets , smiling to myself. I found myself at the town square , where a beautiful fountain was place.
'I would have to come back and draw this...'
I continued down the streets until I found myself at a map of the city. I looked for the word DWMA and after a time of searching , I finally found the address. I put the address in my phone and started making my way the the academy. I plugged in my earphones and started to listen to FallOut Boy. I quietly sung along the words and started go dance a bit as I walked. Like I said earlier , I was a happy go person.
I passed so many captivating shops that sold all sorts of things! Candy , shoes , phones , you name it! I'd never seen or lived in a city like this before; it was all new and exciting , and I loved every second of it. Well , I was until...
"FUCK!" I yelled as I tripped over someone's foot and face planted into the cement. I picked my face up and realized that my nose was bleeding quiet a bit.
I looked behind me to see a teenage boy in a black suit running away.
'Bastard...'
I picked myself up and walked to the nearest store for some tissues. I handed the cashier the money and stuck the tissue up my nose to stop the bleeding.
I walked out the store and continued to walk to the academy , playing music once again.
After about an hour , I found myself in front out the immense school. It was magnificent , I was truly surprised!
I tightened my beanie on my head and started my way up the gigantic as fuck staircase.
[Time Skip]
I finally made my way to last step and sat down to rest. I don't care what anyone says , I wear jeans in the summer if I want , even though they make me really hot. Meh , they are comfy though so it's okay.
I looked around the front of the school and saw lots of people. It was amazing , I haven't been to an actual school in a couple of years! I stood up , pushed up my glasses , and started walking towards the door. I felt and saw a bunch of people staring at me...I didn't like it.
'Can you just stop staring at me...?!' I mentally screamed in my head.
Just as I was about to walk into the school , I heard someone screaming above me. I looked up and saw the bottoms of a boy's shoes.
*THUNK*
I collided with the hard ground as someone fell on top of me.
"IT IS ME ! THE GREAT BLACKSTAR, BASK IN ALL MY GLORY!" I blue headed boy screamed in my face.
"U-uh c-could you please get off me? T-this hurts a lot..." I asked kindly of the boy.
"I AM THE ALL MIGHTY BLACKSTAR!" The boy yelled again. I rolled my eyes , I guess he didn't hear me. I harshly pushed him off and reached for my beanie and fixed it. I brushed myself off and walked inside the school.
'Damn...that stupid boy seriously hurt my ankle. I'll have to check it later'
This academy was huge! As soon as I walked in, I immediately got lost. I took left turn, right turns, you name it. I finally came to a huge black door that had a white skull on the front. I opened the door and heard it creak and I opened it. I walked down the long hallway, surrounded by clouds and a blue and white sky. It was actually kind of peaceful and beautiful-kind of like this city.
I finally got to the end of the hallway when a saw a huge black figure and the boy the made me trip earlier. 'Damn, it's the annoying boy who tripped me...he didn't even apologize..." I thought to myself. Once I reached both of them, I decided to speak up.
"U-um...excuse me, sir." I stuttered as I stood behind the large, black figure and the boy. They both turned around to look at me; the black figure started to talk, "Heyya! I haven't seen you around the academy, are you new?!" He asked with excitement.
"Yes sir. I-I would like to be in rolled. I recently found out that I am a so called 'weapon'. I heard that this academy can help me learn how to embrace this condition," I stated with a smile to the black figure.
"Well, do you mind showing me what kind of weapon you are, young lady?" He politely asked of me.
"Sure can, sir!" I closed my eyes and felt my soul started to expand as I transformed into my weapon form; a bow and arrow.
"My my, what a rare weapon you are, my dear," The black figure stated as he caught me. I transformed back into my human form and smiled up at him, "Thanks."
"May I ask, what's your name? Also, do you have a meister?" He asked of me.
"My name is Emma- Emma Snow. And no, I do not have my own meister, yet that is," I replied with respect.
"That's a pretty name..." The boy with suit finally spoke up. I looked into his eyes; they were a bright gold. He had three white stripes on the right side of his head, yet not the left. He seemed to be not interested in the conversation with the black figure and I until now...weird.
"Yes, it sure is Emma. Anyways, let me introduce myself as well; I am Lord Death, the head and founder of this academy. This," he said gesturing towards the very pale male," is my son, Death the Kid-"
"Kid for short!" Kid said as he cut off his dad.
"Well, Kid, it's nice to meet you" I said with a smile towards him, "And you too, Lord Death."
"Well, now that we have introductions out of the way, how about we get you enrolled into my fantastic academy, huh?" He said with a chuckle.
"Alright, let's get started!" I replied with a delightful giggle.
Lord Death walked out of the Death Room and said that he would be right back with my schedule for my classes; so now it was just me and Kid. I stared down at my shoes, trying not to look at him. I'm terrible in awkward situations like this.
He cleared his throat, "So, what city did you come from?" he asked, trying to break the silence between us.
"Oh, um, I came from Tampa, although I didn't live there..." I trailed off. I didn't really want to tell Kid all about me- it's just a little too personal.
"Oh." Was all he replied, and it went back to silence in the Death Room.
"HEY KID? ARE YOU IN HERE?" I heard that familiar, yet annoying as all hell voice again today. I turned around to see the bluenette with three other people. A tall girl with black hair, pulled into a pony tail, who had a light smile on her face, and deep blue eyes; sort of like the ocean. Next to her was a shorter girl with light, sandy blond hair put up in pigtails, with these emerald greens eyes to die for; they were so intriguing. And next to her, was a handsome male with spiky hair, as white as snow. And his eyes were as red as a ruby. He shot me a smile full of his spiky teeth to go with his hair.
"BlackStar, could you stop yelling for once in your life?! Kid asked, obviously annoyed by the boy, 'BlackStar'.
"SHUTUP! I AM YOUR GOD!" He replied, ignoring Kid's request.
"Hey Kid, aren't you going to introduce us to the girl standing next to you?" The girl with the emerald eyes asked.
"Oh uh, sure. Guys, this is Emma. She's enrolling into the academy; she's a rare kind of weapon, a bow and arrow," Kid said looking at you with eyes of curiosity
"So he was paying attention when I was talking to his father..."
"Well, it's nice to meet you Emma, my name is Maka! And this is my weapon Soul," The girl with the ash blond pigtails said, gesturing towards the white haired male.
"Hey, nice to meet ya," He said with his hands in his pockets.
Then, the girl with the ocean colored eyes stepped up, "And my name is Tsubaki, and this is my meister, BlackStar," She stated with a smile.
"It's nice to meet all of you, I hope we can all be friends," I said and smiled at the four in front of me.
"Of course!" Maka and Tsubaki said in unison.
Finally, after what seemed like ages, Lord Death came back into the Death Room with my schedule in his hand.
"Im back! Emma, this is your schedule, your classes start tomorrow. My team and I will start looking for a meister that we can assign you too. Also, is there any medication that you are required to take, the nurse will need to know and to have it," Death stated, handing me the paper.
I froze up...I did take a medication, but I didn't want to say it in front of everyone.
"N-no sir... I don't take any medication," I lied. He stared at me for a second, "Alrighty, well I'll tell the nurse! I can't wait to see you tomorrow!" He said walking off, again.
"Hey, why did you lie to my father?" Kid asked as he took at few steps closer in my direction.
"H-how did you know?" I gulped.
"I can just tell, now, what medication do you take, Emma" He asked, but this time he had a stern voice, like we had known each other for years.
"I-I take um...anti-depression pills..." I admitted in defeat. I hung my head low, staring back down at my shoes again.
"Well, you'll need to give them to the nurse tomorrow, it's school regulation Emma," Kid said. I heard him come even closer this time.
"Um...alright. I will," I said, my voice cracking.
He took his hand and lifted up my chin, I was now facing his face; only a few inches apart.
"Thank you Emma. Anyways, do you have a place to stay tonight?" He asked. I slight blushing came across my cheeks by his gesture.
"N-no, I don't..." I answered truthfully.
"Hmm, guess you'll have to stay with me then," Kid stated as he let go of my chin, winked and started walking out of the Death Room.
All I did was stare at him.
"Cmon now, we better get home before it starts to get dark!" He demanded. I shook my head and started to run after him.
This is where my new life began...
