Back from the Past ( Death the Kid fanfiction )

Chapter 2

Soul and Maka are walking down the hallways, taking small glances behind them at Audri, Questions filling their minds.

"Is something bothering the two of you?"

Soul and Maka turned around to see Audri looking at them in concern. Maka quickly exchanged glances with Soul before answering her.

"Um, why do you ask?"
"Well it's just that the two of you seemed a little tense at the moment, making your Soul Wavelengths a little bit unstable."
"Y-You can see our Souls?"
"Yeah, of course. I've always been able to do that for a while."

Maka looks at Audri with curiosity as they arrived infront of a large door as Soul opened it and continued down the pathway with large guillotines hanging over them. Soon they arrived at a large room with an endless field of black crosses sticking out of the ground with floating comical clouds moving above their heads at what appears to be the sky. In the middle of the field stood a large level platform with a full-length mirror. Maka walked up to the mirror, fogged it with her breath and wrote '42-42-564' on the glass. Suddenly the mirror came to life as it started to ring.

"Hello, Lord Death, are you there? This it meister Maka reporting in for our mission."
"Ah, hello meister Maka. How'd the mission go?" Lord Death asked as he appeared on the mirror.
"It went well, we've managed to collect the kishin's soul."
"Well Done, Maka. Keep this up and-"

Suddenly Lord Death stopped talking as if he was paralyzed and continued to stare past Maka's head.

"Lord Death? Is something wrong?"
"No, it' couldn't be..."

Lord Death walked out of the mirror towards Audri as Maka and Soul exchanged glances of confusion.

"Audri? Is that really you?"
"Of course, who else would I be?"
"But that's impossible and yet here you are..."
"Lord Death, what on earth do you mean by that?"

Lord Death looked at Maka and Soul before turning back to face Audri.

"Audri, you were gone...for 10 years."

Audri looked at Lord Death in disbelief.

"You're joking, right?"
"Well normally I would be, but not this time. For the last 10 years, you were pronounced dead."
"What?! But how's that possible? There has to be some sort of mistake!!"
"It's no mistake, you were really gone for 10 whole years." said Lord Death before turning to Maka.
"Tell me, where'd you find Audri in the first place?"
"Well, Soul and I found her frozen in a ravine during our mission."
"Frozen? I was frozen for 10 years...?"
"Audri, I don't know what happened on that day, but during that time Justin came back without you and we all assumed the worst."
"Then what happened to Justin?"
"He became the youngest Death Scythe a year after your 'death' and did it without a meister as well."
"Wait a minute, you used to be Justin Law's meister?!" Maka asked Audri. "I thought that was just a rumor!!"
"Yeah, but I'm surprised that he managed to become a Death Scythe. And without a meister too, so where's he now?"
"He went back to Europe after the defeat of Kishin Asura."
"I see..."
"Don't worry, i'm sure you'll see him again."
"Yeah, I hope so..." Audri trailed off, looking down in sadness.
"Audri? Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I just need a minute to take it all in."

Audri leaves the Death Room as Maka and Soul looked at her with concern.

"Lord Death? Will Audri be okay?" asked Maka.
"She'll be fine, she just needs some time to accept what's happened."
