Chapter 2

"I can't believe this." Elizabeth Thompson muttered to herself as she walked along the cobbled stone street. Kicking at trash as she walked, of course since today was unlucky she just had to be chosen to go and get dinner for the night. It was always the punishment in the game we played at home for one of us to pay and pick up dinner. She had been carrying the bags on her way home when a familiar voice came from behind her.

"Elizabeth? Is that you?"

Liz stopped in her tracks as she turned the bag fell from her hands. Her eyes slowly moved to the women standing in front of her.

It's her she thought the clothes the makeup the hair everything was the same. Liz fought to find her voice attempting to keep it calm but even in her best efforts still the words didn't come.

"W-what are you-" she stuttered looking around wildly. Please, please, let this be a hallucination. She begged in her mind to whatever god out there. Having a dream about her and suddenly she appears like this is way to much like a drama movie, abandoned teenage girl reunites with whore of a mother, what a great story. Her mind had still been racing when the women spoke again.

"It's good to see you." she spoke to Liz and moved forward.

Liz involuntarily stepped back, "Stay away from me!" she yelled at the person suddenly. The women in front of her looked shock and hurt, but Liz ignored her she just turned and ran as fast as she could away from HER away from her mother, forgetting about the bags in her rush.

"Sis is taking forever." Patty complained, "An I'm so hungry."

"I know I already finished setting the plates." Kid said looking at the table; every thing was set perfectly not a fork was out of place.

That's when Kid heard a slam at the door and Liz's long figure appeared in the hall.

"Liz what took so long?" he said moving over to where she was, that's when he had noticed the expression she had on her face. "Liz? What's wrong? What happened to the food?" he questioned trying to find out what had happened.

"It doesn't matter OK?" she yelled at him and turned away, But Kid reached out and grabbed her arm.

"It matters to me." he said sternly his gold eyes looked into her blue ones. He felt her body relax and her eyes soften at his gaze, but she tensed up again.

"It's nothing" she whispered and ripped her arm away from his grasp. Silence fell over the room except for the sound of Liz's fleeting footsteps.

Liz slammed her face into her pillow that lay on her bed. She was frustrated and confused. She questioned on how she should feel, Angry? Sad? Hurt? Maybe even happy? She felt so many different things and her head hurt. Tears clouded her eyes even though she fought to hold them back. Nothing was making sense; she never thought something like this would happen. Things were going really well she had so many friends and lived with a shinigami; it's amazing how things can just fall apart.

That was the last thing she thought about before drifting to sleep.

The sun filtered into the room, waking up Liz moved off her bed. She looked down and noticed how she was still in her clothes from last night. It took a moment before the events of last night came back to her. Everything still seemed like a dream to her. With an exasperated sigh she moved to get dressed. She didn't even feel like going through the day, much less going to school. When she went down stairs she noticed no one was ready yet. Instead of waiting she decided to leave without them. As she walked down the roads of Death city she let her feet carry her in all directions and she decided to skip school today.

Patty skipped down the hall of the house towards Liz's room while humming a soft tune, her sister had always been a heavy sleeper, she thought.

As she opened the door to wake her, she noticed that the bed was already empty. With a frown she moved downstairs to search.

"Kid-kun have you seen Sis around?" she asked Kid when she saw him in the living room.

"No, I thought you went to wake her?" he said.

"Yeah I did but the room was empty." patty told him "It's strange for her to go ahead of us."

"I know, well a lot of strange things has happened, lets go maybe she is already at the school." he said fixing his clothes as they left the house.

The two of them walked into the class room,

"Good Morning." they both said.

"Hey, what happened to Liz? You guys look uncool with just the two of you." Soul asked them as they walked inside the class room.

"What do ya mean? Sis ain't here?" Patty asked.

"No we haven't seen her." Maka said coming up next to Soul.

"That's weird she wasn't in her room this morning." Kid said with a slight frown.

"Maybe she got sick of you being so dense Kid." Soul said laughing.

"What are you saying?" Kid asked him confused.

"What? You don't know Liz is totally- argh." Soul was cut off by a viscous Maka chop.

"I'm sure it's nothing." Maka reassured them as she dragged off a bleeding soul.

"Yeah I guess so..." Patty said quietly still feeling uneasy.

Liz walked until noon before stopping in a store to grab a bite to eat from the spare change she had. Still deep in thought about the events from yesterday, when she realized she should tell patty about seeing their mother in the city. There should be no reason for her to know, Liz didn't want her absent minded sister to worry. But it still seemed unfair to keep her in the dark. The way she was acting lately would be a dead give away that something was up. Liz just needed to ignore it there might be a slight chance that things would blow over. The city was large what are the odds she saw her mother around anyway? Everything will be alright Liz thought attempting to reassure her self. Picking herself up she made an effort to hold her self up and act as she always did. With a slight smile she started on her way back home.
