Soul Eater: Crystals, Stars and Bullets

Chapter 6 - I'm at my Limit - Extra

~Yuri's POV~

Ever since I was small...

Is that her? The new student? The one everyone is talking about? But she looks so innocent.

Yeah, I know. But don't let her looks fool you...like she did with her other victims.

Everytime I went to a new school...

Did you hear? They said that she was the one who did "that" to Riley*.

Eh? No way...she doesn't look like the type to do that.

Whatever, just don't let your gaurd down and don't get near her.

This is what I hear...

Rumors. Lies. 

Being stared at. Being yelled at. Being bullied. Being misunderstood.

I dont' deserve this. I don't deserve any of this.

I know I don't.

~Flashback~ 

"Crysantha, honey, wake up."

Who's that?

"Honey, please wake up."

I don't...

Mom? Is that you?

"M-mom..." I said

"Crysantha? Please listen ok?"

"M-mom...why?" I said half-asleep

"Just listen ok, honey?"

"O-okay, mom,"

"Ok. Crysantha, no matter what happens...even when you're on your own, even when you're scared, even when everything is falling...please...never give in."

"M-mom?"

"Goodbye, Crys."

"M-mom? Mom? MOM?!"

The following day, I found out that my mom had gone missing. They say that she had gone crazy and had committed suicide. But I never believed in it.

After a year my relatives told me that my mom had passed away. Lies. I made a tantrum and shouted and cried.

I accidentally slapped my aunt who said that and yelled "Liar!! Mom would never do that!" then got slapped by my dad. He told me to go to my room and I did. I slammed the door and cried.

Mom was the only one who understood me. I needed mom. 

Later that night, I quietly went down to the kitchen holding my necklace. My mom was the one who gave that to me on my birthday. She said it was her grandmother's, which was passed on to her mother, then to her, then finally to me. I treasured it so much. 

I looked into each drawer until I found what I was looking for. There. A knife. I got it slowly and gulped. I closed my eyes and whispered "Maybe this way we can be together, mom."
