A Missing Soul

Act 2: Chapter 18

                                                                                  Soul's POV

I walk up and down the silent hallway, the only sound came from my shoes hitting the hard floor. 

The sling hung around my neck held my arm up, even with all the medications...it still hurt like Hell.

For the past two in a half weeks, all I've done is walk these empty halls. Iv'e grown use to them, the way one square in the floor was larger than the others. Man...Kid would have thrown a hissy fit if he ever noticed.

I smile when I think of the others. They don't visit a lot...mostly because Lord Death and the others are working their asses off trying to hunt down Medusa. 

I wanted to help...I wanted to be the one to drive a knife trough her skull. But Death and Stein said that it's not healthy for me to want revenge in the state I'm in...So I'm just wondering the halls, while my friends are working, and my partner is dying...

Maka...I remember the day that we were rescued...it's not something...someone forgets so easily.

                                                                                 *FLASHBACK*

My eyes slowly twitched open...but only slightly. I was moving...moving fast. No, someone was carrying me. I tried to look up..but that was a bad idea, a sharp pain hit my skull like a dart. I tried again, and saw Stein?

He looks down at me, but doesnt say a word. Just looks away and continues to run. I tilt my head to the side to see what's ahead. We were running through the city towards the DWMA.

We made it...but where's...I see her. Spirit runs in front of us holding Maka's limp body close to his body. Her eyes were open, but there was no movement.

"M-Maka..." I stutter. Stein looks down at me

"Shh Soul...it's okay" He mutters softly. But even I can tell...that he knows something is wrong...very wrong. 

My head begins to sway and my eye lid's close before I can stop them. 

I wake up in a white room. I look around. The room was empty. I wa sin one of the rooms in the medical side of the school. I try and sit up, that's when I notice a sling around one of my arms holding it still while my other arm lay free.

I throw my legs over the bed and try to stand....oops...As soon as my feet are flat on the floor I fall to the floor. I fell something tugging at my free arm, there are tubes taped to the skin. I pull it off and stand back up regaining my balance. 

I keep my hand flat against the wall as I walk towards the opening into the hallway. I'm surprised I didn't hear all the chaos thats going on. There are students and teachers, and doctors running down the hallway towards a room not far from mine. 

I stumble towards it, everyone is in to much of a hurry to notice me. I arrive at the door, but Stein immediately walks out blocking my view.

"Soul, you need to return to your room" He says.

I noticed there was blood almost completely covering his coat. Some was red...but others...was black. 

"Maka" I say trying to look in the room. I see Spirit, he had the face of fear. "Is- is she in there? Is she..ok?"

"Soul, go back to your room" He says more sternly this time. 

"I want to see Maka!" I shout. Spirit turns towards the door and sees me.

"Soul" Spirit mutters. I look into his eyes...and I could see it, clear as day. So many feelings mixed up in one. 

I look up at Stein, "Is...is Maka ok?"
