Maka and Soul ~ A new Madness

The Scar

Soul's P.O.V

She steps out of the bathroom. She's wearing silk shorts and a DWMA shirt. She yawns. Why are you looking at her? I turn away.

"Maka, Crona and I have agreed that you should take turns sleeping in our rooms so we can watch over you."

"What?! That's ridiculous! I can watch over myself!"

"Maka, please, it's just for this week. We don't want another incident." Crona said quietely.

"You can sleep in my bed tonight. I'll sleep on the floor." I don't even think twice about what I'm saying.

"Fine." She grumbles and stalks off to my room.

"I'm going to talk to Stein tomorrow and get his opinion on it." I told Crona. He nodded and went off to bed.

I went off to bed. Maka was already sleeping when I opened the door. I didn't bother changing into sweatpants. I took off my jacket and pants, grabbed a pillow and blanket and fell asleep on the ground.

-------3:00 a.m.-------

Maka P.O.V

The screaming won't stop.

Make it stop.

I open my eyes and see all of the souls.

Every soul that Asura has devoured.

It's bright blue.

I see a purple.

Just one.

The soul's start sprouting legs.

Eight needle like legs.

They scuttle after me.

One grabs me.

Then another.

And another.

Another.

Another.

They bite me.

They shred my skin apart.

Until I am nothing but a soul.

Just a tiny blue soul.

The purple one.

It races after me.

And devours me.

I scream.

"Maka?"

"I'm here." I'm awake it was just a dream.

"What happened in your dream?" I told Soul.

"You're okay. Don't be an idiot. Arachne is dead and so is Asura." I nod, he slinks back down on the ground.

"Try to get some rest."

"Soul. Wait." he turns back and looks at me.

"Ca-Can you, uh, sleep with me. I mean not with. But--" He's already up on the bed and sliding underneath the covers. I put my head on his heart. In the dim moon light I see his scar. I let my hand run over the stitches. He is my weapon and my best friend. Nothing more. I fall asleep on his bear chest. His arm holds me close. I feel his breath down my neck.

What's going on?
