Chapter 4: Too Many Questions
Mercy sighed.
Stein disappearing, Liz suddenly appearing.
It was almost as if fate was trying to mess with her.
"MERCY" Liz almost screamed running toward her.
Mercy groaned silently as the rest of the team followed.
She then pulled her into a hug and shouted "Look who came to join us for pizza!!"
Mercy's first thoughts were to grab her throat and rip her soul from her living body.
She winced at the thought. That wasn't her anymore; she didn't want to turn out the way her father wanted... No one would want that.
Mercy stiffened herself at Liz's touch as a Meister she saw her soul, it was small and weak, different from those she had seen before...
Those other Meisters who tried to save her but failed because of him... No it was because of her.
"Mercy, Mercy Earth to Mercy Hello?" Maka said waving her hand in front of her face.
"Oh sorry" Mercy said blushing
The group started walking further into Death City.
"So," Tsubaki said "What brought you to Death City?"
"Um..." Mercy shuttered.
"Hey where's your weapon?" Maka asked
"M-my weapon" Mercy shuttered
"Don't you have a weapon?" Liz asked.
"Y-yes but," Mercy said softly
An awkward silence crept upon them as Mercy shuttered trying to explain herself but, no words seemed to come out.
"WE'RE HERE" Patti shrieked.
And she was right they had just reached the pizza parlor.
Mercy sighed in relief; her past was a very.... sensitive subject.
~In the Pizza Parlor
As the conversation buzzed around her, Mercy just stared at the greasy slice of pizza before her. She remembered pizza looking more ... appetizing.
But the pizza wasn’t the only one causing her loss of appetite, the whole time she could feel a pair of yellow eyes burn into her soul.
Mercy wavered her eyes from the pizza to the rest of the group.
"What?" She muttered, picking up the pizza carefully.
"You're a meister, right?" Kid asked eyes still burning to her.
"Y-yes" Mercy said shuttering again.
"Didn't your weapon come with you to Death City?" Kid asked.
Mercy had almost taken a bite of the slice. But now it was just hanging in her hand, cheese dangling down almost touching the plate and not to mention her mouth was wide open....
A very amusing appearance, Mercy thought as she heard one side of the table erupt in laughter.
Mercy blushed, and in barely a whisper replied "No".
"Why not?" Liz asked.
Mercy’s voice dove back down her throat, trying to come up with something, anything but the truth about her weapon.
"H-he" was all she could manage.
'Tell them Mercy' the voice said, dripping with venom
'Tell them all about him how you malicious destroyed everything for your own selfish need' It said, hissing at Mercy in disgust.
"Soul~" someone's voice rang out.
Across the table from her, Mercy saw a blob of purple go across the table.
"Soul, you promised to play with me" A woman called dragging Soul into her breasts causing multiple nosebleeds around the table.
'A witch' Mercy thought looking at the woman.... attacking Soul.
In the corner Mercy saw Maka getting very angry.
The woman suddenly turned to look at me; she had cat ears and a tail..... 'Was that even a witch?'
"GAHHHH" she screamed after looking at me.
"Blair, what's wrong?' Soul asked as she further buried him into her.
Mercy shook her head vigorously, if 'Blair' realized it and told them she would be dead.
"Noth-nothing" she shuttered, looking back at Mercy "I just didn't see her"
"I'm Mercy" Mercy said extending her hand.
Blair looked at her hand as though she was about to pull out a knife and stab her.
Mercy shyly pulled her hand back.
Blair returned her attention to Soul and preoccupied the other side of the table. But for some reason Kid never took his eyes off Mercy.
Kid leaned over and whispered "Mercy, I know what happened to your weapon"
Mercy blushed at his closeness and shuttered "Y-you do"
Kid nodded and lowered his gaze "I'm sorry, it must have been painful"
Mercy froze, 'HE KNEW'. "W-what?" Mercy said trying to cover her shock.
Kid pointed to her bandages "That's why you have the bandages right, to cover it up?'
Mercy hands shot to the bandages and she sat up
abruptly.
"Mercy" Liz said getting up as well.
Mercy bowed quickly "I'm sorry, I have to leave"
As quick as possible she walk out of the pizza parlor. Not looking back no matter how many times they called her or when Liz started screaming at Kid.
All she could think of was look on Kid's face when he was speaking to her.
No matter what those piercing eyes would forever scar her soul.
