The New Battle Begins

Chapter 1

"Was it truly wise, Lord Death?"

"Hmm?"

"It just doesn't seem so logical. Both girls are meisters but you're making them work as partners when attending the DWMA?"

"That certainly seems to be what I wrote in my report, doesn't it Stein?"

The man with unbrushed grey hair, a strange screw going through his head, nudged his glasses up on the bridge of his nose and then sat back in his chair as he let out a puff of smoke from his cigarette resting lazily at his lips. "I suppose so."

The other man hadn't even appeared to be a man but a dark figure with a gentler tone then you would expect for a man with a skull mask for a face. "Well then everything is alright!"

"I just don't think putting two such powerful young people in one partnership is a good idea."

"We did the same thing when it came to Spartoi."

The grey haired man scoffed. "Spartoi is filled with multiple individuals who teach and learn from one another. These two girls are different. Their history, their family, their blood, their power. It's all too different.."

"You're one to comment for someone who has experimented on himself in many different ways."

Now it was turn for the man to smirk which gave no comfort to those who viewed it. It crawled over his face widely with an upturn recognized for being insane.

"I can't deny that."

The dark figure swiftly turned from the man, looking to a mirror which hadn't shown his reflection but instead showed a small city. "I have a feeling things will turn out just fine."

"ANGEL GET UP!" A girl's voice echoed in one certain bedroom, light brown haired reaching below her shoulders with striking sea blue eyes, her cheeks with freckles to perfection.

The other girl lay covered in bed with sleek silver hair and when she opened her eyes, they were revealed to be a dull but pale forest green. Her pale skin only added to her look as she turned around to glare at her friend.

"What do you want Jamie?" She murmured softly, still trying to wake up properly.

In turn the girl, Jamie, placed her hands on her hips with an annoyed expression. "Oh get up already will you? Breakfast is ready and- Are those Reese's wrappers? Wait. That's my stash!"

Angel's eyes wandered to her trash bin next to her desk and caught sight of the wrappers her friend spoke of.

"Oh. So they are."

"What do you mean 'so they are'!? Those were mine! You can't just take my chocolate!"

"When you don't hide it. It's mine. When you hide it and I find it, it's mine. You would think those rules were something you were accustomed to by now."

Angel yawned, stretching and sitting up. Her hands instantly retreated to her face to rub her eyes and when her vision cleared she could see her best friend standing a few feet away from her and in no better mood than a minute ago.

A sigh escaped her lips. "Would an 'I'm sorry', help?"

"Maybe!" Jamie huffed.

Angel let a silence carry throughout her time of contemplation. "Well I can't really think of any reason I should be sorry so I won't bother."

Jamie threw her hands up in the air in exasperation then sighed rolling her eyes.

"Fine," She began. "Could you ATLEAST get up so we can get to school? I'd rather not be late to school. Again. I don't need to give your father a reason to dissect me."
