Soul Eater's Past

DUN DUN DUUUUUN

I know, I know, I'm a horrible person. Eventually I'll actually do good about updating, but today... is not that day... 

No One's POV:

Soul and Black Star had come across a group of kishan eggs and found they couldn't fight. They already knew their soul wavelengths didn't match so they were unable to be of any use to each other. 

"We need to find Tsubaki! Any idea where she could be?" Black Star yelled out to Soul as they ran. Luckily, Black Star had gained back enough of his energy that he didn't need to rely so much on Soul. 

"If-" Soul huffed out, getting tired of running. "If she's... not with Kid, then I wouldn't ... know." A thought struck Soul as they turned down another corridor. "We... we need to go and protect my grandmother and the rest of my family. Screw this game!" 

Soul opened a door and they snuck into the room unseen. "Okay..." Soul stopped and tried to remember all the secret tunnels in the house. Hey! Give him a break, it's been years since he's needed to know every curve of every tunnel. 

"Okay, I think..." He observed the room, it was a spare guest room that had rarely been used. The only things in the room was a nice bay window, a bookshelf with music memorabilia and a few music books, a plain dresser and a queen sized bed. Soul went to the bay window and knocked on the bench part. A hallow sound echoed back to him. 

"Found it!" Soul cried out happily and reached his hand under the bench and pulled up. The bench receded into the wall revealing an opening. Black Star stared into the darkness.

"Why are we going back into the tunnels?" 

"Because I didn't realize we'd have so much trouble traveling the regular way. Hopefully I remember how the tunnels connect." 

"Because that's soooo helpful." Black Star rolled his eyes and jumped into the hole without hesitation, leaving Soul to carefully climb in as well and shut the opening just as kishan eggs stormed into the room. 

Kid's POV:

"Hello!" A voice called out. I turned to look down the hallway, no one was around. 

"Who's there?" I demanded, Patty and Liz both prepared for a fight. 

"My name is Stheno. I have come to explain something very important." The voice announced and suddenly, a lovely girl with vibrant red hair stood in front of me, her eyes were yellow and her pupils were nothing but thin black slits. She wore a red cloak and loose red pants with strange white designs on it. 

I jumped back and aimed Liz and Patty at her. "You have three seconds before I blow you into smithereens. What are you and why are you here?" 

Stheno smiled and pulled up her sleeve revealing the tattoo of a red snake. "I am the eldest of my sisters. And I am, by far, the most powerful. Arachne wasn't any match for me, and certainly a shinigami won't be able to lay a hand on me." 

"Three seconds are up." I announced and released a barrage of bullets, but Stheno simply disappeared from my sight. I stopped and turned to look for her behind me, but as soon as I turned away from her previous position, Liz and Patty cried out.

"KID!" 

A hand was around my neck, and it felt as though a snake had slithered around my arms, binding them still. 

"Now, now. I was being kind. You see, it wasn't my idea for the game, and as much as it irks me to follow anything Euryale comes up with, but this was worth it. To see you students of the DWMA struggle. Especially you, Death The Kid. Your father had crossed enough lines, I'd offer forgiveness in the past, but now... now there is no forgiveness. Your father will experience the same pain we have." Her voice suddenly darkened. 

"You and that pest driven school... have taken something very precious to my sister and I. Something irreplaceable. So we decided to play with you before we finally kill you. I know you contacted your DWMA. Call them off or we kill that blonde miester girl. You will play the game, and we will all play fair. Once you've called them off. You'll get the rules and we'll reveal where Ms. Albarn is." 

"Return Maka to us and we won't kill you." I growled right back. "I don't negotiate with witches." 

Maka's POV: 

I'd sat alone in the darkness. I couldn't even look at my own hands or tell how much time had passed. It scared me. It scared me a lot.

At one point I'd just continued running in one direction, but I still saw nothing and it seemed nothing changed around me. I was on the verge of a break down. 

Then a voice, a different voice called out through the darkness. "Maka Albarn. Do you care for your fellow students." 

"What have you done with them?" I demanded. 

"What is it with you DWMA students and being so uncooperative?" 

"Tell me what you've done with them!" I ordered.

"Nothing." The voice snapped. "But... if you want to see them they have to play along with the game. I figured... if they heard your voice, they'd have a little more incentive to play." 

"Incentive?" I asked a little worried. Suddenly, it felt as if I was getting electrocuted and I screamed out in shock and pain. 

Soul's POV: 

I froze in fear at the sound of Maka's screams. Black Star looked worried himself as we both froze into place and listened. 

"LISTEN WELL YOU INSIGNIFICANT PESTS. WE WILL KILL HER. DO NOT THINK WE WON'T!" It was Euryale's voice again. 

Tsubaki's POV: 

I jumped up at the sound of Maka's screaming, Soul's grandmother had fallen asleep, and thankfully she didn't hear anything. 

"IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW OUR RULES WE WILL KILL HER!" 

A new voice chimed in. "Don't worry, we'll be fair, unlike you lot. Any rules we set will be followed by both parties."

"Who are you!?" I demanded as I exited the room. 

"Tsubaki?" Black Star called out, but I couldn't see him.

"Black Star?" 

"Wow. Black Star, Tsubaki! We can all talk to each other now." Liz called out, "But we're in trouble, a woman named Stheno has us cornered." 

"SHUT UP!" The first voice screeched, silencing us. "The first game is beginning. The first to find the Nakatsukasa Clan member wins. You have the first move, DWMA." 

Suddenly, their voices were gone, and I felt several presences approaching me. So I did the first thing that came to mind. I turned into a smoke bomb, went off, turned and then started running like crazy.
