Expectation (Soul Eater Fanfiction)

Chapter Twelve- Reality

I wake again to the smell of Maka's pancakes.
I walk downstairs.
"Good morning, Adira-"  I interrupt her.
" Yeah, good morning," I say, walking to the bathroom. I take a quick shower before turning back to my room to get dressed. My dresser is backwards.
I remember that this isn't real. I don't know how to get out.

What happened to me? Why am I trapped in this false reality? Is it a spell?

No, I don't think so. It's a dream. A vivid dream.

I clench my fist and punch the wall, a small dent left afterwards. How do I get out of here?

I've never been in a dream where I'm aware I'm in a dream.

I widen my eyes in realization, and finish get in dressed. I run out the door to where Tsubaki and Blackstar live.

"Blackstar," I say as he answers the door, rock music blasting behind him.

"Oh, hey Adi," he turns the music down.

"I need you to hit me," I say.

"How hard?" He asks. I was expecting 'Why?' But whatever.

"Hard enough to knock me out,"

"Alright..." He blasts his foot forward into my face, and into blackness I went.

Sun was crying when I woke up. It's black around me, except a small white light. I move towards it.

Sun? I try to speak but nothing happens.

"Adira?" He gasps. I walk forward to the light and look through it like a window.

Sun sits on his bed, his hair messy and unbrushed.

It's me, I'm here I try to say. Words don't come out, but I know he hears them.

"Where are you? I thought... You were dead," he whispers. He looks around the room. I silently realize what happened.

Your shadow.. I mumble. He looks down at me, and his eyes tear up.

"It's been two weeks, where were you?" He whispers. He kneels down on the floor by me.

I.. I don't know, is everyone okay, I ask.

"Just grieving your death! We have to tell them," he gets up, and I am dragged with him. " Can you still transform?"

I try, his shadow disappearing with me as I form in his hand. I'm still solid, surprisingly.

He runs with me in his hand. It's harder to hold this form now.

"Maka!" He runs downstairs. Her hair is up in a bun while she cleans.

"What?" She looks over and sees the blade in his hand.
"Oh my god," she mumbles before running over. "Is this..." She starts, Sun nods his head.

It's me, yeah, I try to tell her.
Maka?

"She says hi," Sun says.

"Why can't she speak?" Maka asks.

"She's... In my shadow?" He doesn't know what else to say.

"We need to take her to Stein," Maka says.

"He's out of town," Soul says from behind her, " What's going on?" He asks.

Where's Lord Death? I ask Sun.

"He's safe, he came back after you... Umm..." He drifts off.

"What?" Soul asks. Maka drags him into the other room and explains what happened.
