It's here! The first part of my new story! It's a little confusing, so feel free to ask me some questions in the comments if you don't understand anything, I'll be happy to answer <3
•Chapter 1• •Ammi• •Third Time Not So Lucky•
"Soul Resonance". The words left my mouth for the second time that morning, each turn with it's own disastrous outcome. It would work this time. I was totally sure of it. Third time lucky, right? I clenched my fists around my demon scythe, preparing for the mind blowing power and force that was about to take me and my partner over. Kai and I were going to combine souls. We hadn't been able to work it yet, our Soul Wavelengths just refused to join. It was beginning to grate on both of us. My name is Ammi, and I'm a Meister at the DWMA. A Meister, is a master of a weapon. Kai is my weapon, and I am his Meister. Don't think that means I'm in charge of him, because I'm not. He does what he wants, and I do what I want. The DWMA Highschool is where we learn how to make the best weapons possible, so they can turn into one of Lord Death's weapons. Lord Death is our headmaster, and also the owner of Death City, where we all live, and where the DWMA is based. A Meister's purpose is to collect ninety nine human souls - Evil of course - and one witch soul, to transform our weapons into one worthy of being handled by Lord Death himself. And right now, Kai and I could not be further away from that goal. My body began to shake as I gripped onto Kai in his weapon form, two short, golden daggers, each with a half-moon curve and ornately detailed hilts. I felt something move deep inside me, a feeling rumoured to occur when resonating souls. Next came a deep surge of heat running up my spine, making me shiver and have to grip onto my weapons tighter than before. It was building and building, up and up, the temperature of my body rising until I felt like I was on fire with the burning sensation of Kai's Soul joining with mine. I could see his face in the blade of my right hand dagger, knitted together as he struggled to combine our souls, his deep blue eyes strained. And suddenly it was as if it had all dropped, disintegrated as the burning heat disappeared. I felt weak, and queasy, and I could not longer feel Kai's Soul Wavelength reaching out to me. My knees wouldn't hold my own weight, and I fell to the stone floor of the DWMA Training Area. I gasped for breath, my stomach feeling empty and my head dizzy as my soul got used to being on it's own once again. "Damn it!" came Kai's gruff, angry voice, and I hadn't realised he'd changed back to his human form. He stood in front of me, running his hands stressfully through his soft brown hair, getting it back into his signature scruffy look in the process. "Jesus Christ Ammi! How many times do you have to get this wrong?" He yelled, and I could feel the heat of his glare on the back of my neck. I felt like bursting into tears. This is hopeless. I can't even be bothered to defend myself. Maybe it is my fault. "Get up" he ordered harshly as I stared down at his black and white high tops. I sniffled softly, knowing I was now physically unable to do what he was asking. Three times trying and failing Soul Resonance, all in one morning? It could kill a person. "I can't" I whimpered, my hands and knees grazing on the tough stone slabs beneath me. "Ugh... You can't do anything" Kai sighed, and I felt two strong arms clasp around me. He lifted me up, and cradled me to his chest, although it wasn't in an affectionate way. I'm sure affection is the last thing Kai is feeling for me right now. He began to walk across the yard, the sound of his Nike's scuffing the floor a comforting and familiar one. I was scared to say anything, in case he got even angrier, but when he spoke, I felt obliged to reply. "How do you expect us to get ninety nine human souls and one witch soul if we can't even resonate our souls? We're not strong enough alone. I need your soul, and you need mine, Ammi. Otherwise, our attacks will be pathetic against enemies" he ranted as he carried me through the desolate hallways of the Death Weapon Meister Academy. His low, husky voice echoed through the long walk, lined with bright blue lockers and wall-length windows, casting invisible rays into the hall. "I'm sorry" I whimpered, feeling truly pathetic as he held me in his arms, no idea whatsoever where he was taking me. "Shut up" he muttered, clearly fed up with the conversation. I let my violet-coloured hair fall as curtains in front of my face, my messily cut bangs hiding the expression I was giving - my face crumpled into an upset frown, tears threatening to fall down my cheeks. I wanted to ask where we were going, but he'd told me to be quiet (in so many words), and I knew if I spoke again, he'd either get really angry, or wouldn't even bother to reply, so what was the point? There was none, really. Kai is difficult. He's also always right, which also means I'm always wrong. His deep blue eyes harbour a headstrong, powerful soul, a God compared to my weak, unwilling one. It's getting embarrassing. In class, whenever we do group activities, and we're asked to demonstrate, Kai always overpowers me. No matter what the activity is, he is always stronger. It's not fair. He's well built, at least five inches taller than me, with a small yet muscular frame. I'm lazy and short, with a curvy body and not much strength at all - unless I'm using a weapon, then I get fierce. We're totally different. People used to say that's why we worked, but funnily enough, I've stopped hearing that nowadays. I know Kai thinks it's because we don't work anymore, but he won't admit it. Kai stopped at the end of the hall, where a large mirror stood, with a gold detailed frame. He set me down roughly, without even asking if I felt aright. I stumbled a bit, my knees still weak from the energy-draining soul resonating. I fell straight into Kai. My shoulder nudged him in the chest as I fell, pushing him back unexpectedly. Although he caught me by the elbows just in time, he was extremely irritated by my clumsiness. "God Ammi, it's called balance. Get some" he spat, before pushing me back up and stepping up to the mirror. I leant against the wall for a while, waiting patiently for his actions to come, of which I had now predicted. He breathed over the reflective surface, creating a blurred misty effect, before writing down the numbers: "42-42-564" he said aloud as he wrote with his index finger. "Whenever you wanna knock on Death's Door" I quietly finished the rhyme for him. The mirror surface began to blur and almost wobble, the reflective surface turning into a silvery liquid pool. The way to Death Room. "Lets go" Kai grumbled. I sighed, having no idea why he wanted to see death. Ah well. I did as he said, and we stepped through the mirror, into Lord Death's Room.
Hope that made sense! Please RP!!! I want to get people interested before I continue <3 thanks, Drew xxx
