My Name is Haley (soul eater fanfic)

Chapter 7

"I'm going to hide!" I yell over my shoulder at Kid.

"Why!?" I started to chase after me.

"Because!" I ran faster. I didn't want him following me. He would be hurt. I couldn't be able I handle it if someone got hurt trying to protect me.

That's what my mom was doing when she died. She died protecting me. That was something I couldn't handle. I should have died instead. I didn't matter to anyone. No one cared about me, only my mom did.

My mom was the only person who would hang with me. I was always so distant from all the other kids that were playing around, tossing the ball back and forth, or the kids on the swings. My mom would sit with me under my favorite tree. She would sing me songs and tell me stories. I loved it when she sang to me. She had the prettiest voice.

After she died, I found myself singing the songs she used to sing to me. Songs like Paper Moon and Home. I would sing the, to myself when hiding from my dad. The songs she sang always reassured me. The songs told me that everything was going to be ok. They lied. I sang them anyway.

I continued to run, not wanting Kid to follow me.

"Because why!?!?" he called out after me.

"BECAUSE," I clench my fist. "BECAUSE MY FATHER. THAT'S WHY!!!!!!!!!!!" I stopped running and turn around to face Kid.

"wh-"

"HE'S LOOKING FOR ME, KID, AND IF I DON'T HIDE HE WILL JUST HURT ME AGAIN!!!!!!!"

"H-Haley-"

"SO LEAVE ME ALONE!" Tears begin to well up in my eyes as I turn around and begin to run away again. Kid stared at me, not knowing whether to chase after me or not.

A few hours have passed. Kid didn't chase after me. I was thankful. I hugged my knees in an alley. Not just any alley, an alley that I lived in. I couldn't go home, though sometimes I did. I was never safe at home because of my dad.

Not feeling safe in your own home. That's not good.

After a few minutes I began to hum Paper Moon to myself. I eventually stared singing it to myself.

"I'm falling, down into my shadow,

Grasping onto every breath,

As I await the deadly night."

My dad still hasn't found me. I was confused on why he stared looking for me again. He attacked me only a few hours ago, why would he attack me again so soon?

"So scary, but you can't give into this,

Fear of pumpkin carriages,

'Cause all the witches see it in your eyes."

I was still waiting for my dad. The Soul Binder glowed, informing me my dad was still far away.

"See you in your dreams, yeah, baby,

Your nightmares too, that's where I'll find you."

Singing that made me realizing my life is just a living nightmare. I blinked back tears.

"Fairy blue,

It is only for you,

That I would crush the stars,

And put the on display,

Black Paper Moon."

It was beginning to get dark. Stars began to decorate the night sky.

"If you really put your faith in me,

When you're 'lost,' here I am,

'Forever' with your soul."

I sighed. I had no weapon yet.

"Waiting here above you patiently,

Just like the shinning moon."

I waited for the man who would never come.

"You have a nice voice." I heard a familiar voice say. It was Soul.

"Soul?" I looked at him "why are you here?"

"A simple thank you would be nice," he looked up at the sky. "I was coming here to talk to you. Kid told me you ran away from him. Do you dislike him that much?" he chucked.

I laughed slightly, "no."

"Then what's wrong?"
