Life Could Be Cruel... [Soul Eater FanFic]

Chapter 1: Interrupted...

A/N: I don't own, Soul Eater, the anime nor the manga. Therefore, I do not own any of characters from said anime & manga. Which results in my inability/will to "profit" in any monetized manner from this fan fiction. Sorry for the delay between the prologue and chapter 1. I've been quite busy with various aspects of life.. a writing contest being one of them. Which I still haven't completed my entry but ideas for this chapter kept nagging at me.

Enjoy! =^.^=

"Hmm, looks like there's only a couple of swigs left of my coffee and just a couple of you guys left. It looks like I figured it just right, each of you will get to have a taste." the second to last soul, Madaline, inhabited my body right after I spoke to them. I listened to my living room curtains flapping from the warm spring breeze then began to savor the nineteenth swig of my maple latte. Just as she was leaving my body, via my chest, a young teenage boy flew through my window. He looked as if he tried to make himself as symmetrical as possible; except for those three lines on the left side of his hair. With him were two young ladies, who -I should add- appeared to be sisters.

The three of them looked so cute posing together! Even with that thought, I couldn't help but look at them with a perplexed expression. Just as I was about to say something, my two kids -I'm their god mother- came out of their room to see what the ruckus was.

"You, witch, will pay with your life for taking these souls... I... Damn it, Patty! You aren't symmetrical with us! We've practiced this before!" as they were distracted by his need for them to be posing symmetrically; my twins walked quietly over to me, staring at is odd trio that was now in our living-room.

"Mom, who is this guy and those teenage girls? Did your seals not work, are they evil? They've got to be evil if they want to hurt you..." Ashley, the female of my sweet twins, verbally worried over our odd problem. Yet, Asher, the male of my twins, simply gripped my hand to show me his unease about this situation.

"Kid... Kid... Kid, I think you've got the wrong place... She's not acting like a witch." the tall one (of the sister duo) tries to gain the boy's attention -who I now know as kid-.

She gained it on the third attempt of his name, he looked over at my little trio. His eyes grew wide and googly, "They're in such a symmetrical alignment! And those two look exactly alike! They're so symmetrically beautiful, I can't kill them!"

"Perhaps, I needed to recharge my seals... Asher, Ashely, I want the both of you to get behind me. Madaline, get your husband and the other souls to take haven." I took charge of the situation, stating orders in a dead serious tone.

"NOW, to the trio that just entered my apartment WITHOUT my permission. Who are you and what in the name of Gaia makes you think I'm a witch?!?" I demanded answers from them, pissed that they made my home feel unsafe.

I kept my eyes on them as each of the twenty souls -one by one- began to inhabit my body; leaving me in control but I felt it straining me.

"I'm, Death the Kid, and they're my weapon partners, Liz and Patty... Even with them behind you, you're all symmetrical! Such perfection! But.. but you're absorbing all those souls! I-I... I can't ruin such symmetry..."  the teen, Death the Kid, seemed very torn about us.

"Absorbing souls?!?" I indignantly shrieked at him and his partners.

"OW! Mom that hurts!" my twins, Asher and Ashley, yelled at me seconds after I shrieked.

"Of course, no normal human-" Death the Kid stopped talking. Apparently, he noticed that I stopped paying attention to him.

I fused over my kids, hugging them, "I'm so, so, so sorry. Are you okay?"
