Chapter 1: New Kid in town
Living without parents, fending for yourself and having one very annoying sister on top of that just describes my life. Though I can't really complain, it has always been fun even if I do miss my mother and father. It doesn't really matter to me because I have my little sister Seraphina with me, even though she is extremely annoying. My sister is the only thing I have left and I will protect her to the best of my abilities.
"Big Sis!" Seraphina yelled as she ran up the stairs of the DWMA.
"Yes?" I asked her
I looked up and down to my 4.11 tall sister and seeing that she still has a long way to get to my 5.7 height. She had shoulder length black hair tied up into a high ponytail with no bangs hanging down. Meanwhile my black hair is up the mid part of my neck, my bangs covered parts of my eyes, and two of my bangs on each side of my face were down to my shoulders. She wore the same black shirt that I wore but it was flipped. The elbow length sleeve with a small cut in the middle of it was on my right arm was on her left arm. The shoulder length sleeve with a white strip at the end was on my left arm but on her right. We wore the same silver chain necklace with a green emerald charm on it. We both wore a white belt around our waist but mine was going upwards towards the right while hers was going downwards to the right. My fingerless fishnet arm warmers went up to my elbow as she had the fishnets to go around her legs from the knee down. We both had a red skirt on but the end of my pink belt around my kilt was pointing to the right as her was pointing to the left. I had black and grey stripped stockings as she wore fingerless black and grey stripped arm warmers. Our eye color was different; I had dark blue eyes like the ocean as she had bright green eyes as lush as the grass.
"Where have you been Seraphina? I've been waiting for you for an half a hour now! We can't be late." I replied
"I understand sister. I will try not to sleep in next time." She said as tears began to swell in to her eyes thinking that I was mad at her.
"Do not worry Seraphina, I was only joking."
"Okay."
"Let's go now alright."
"Yes!"
Seraphina grabbed my hand and dragged me through the front doors of the academy. She pulled me through the hallways and through the door of our classroom. There she pulled me up to a seat and sat beside me on my left. I sat beside a girl who had blonde hair that was tied up into two pigtails. She had green eyes and wore the school uniform. Beside her was a silver haired boy. He had red eyes and wore a yellow and black jacket. He also wore black pants. The girl who sat beside me gave me a confused look.
"Are you new?" she asked
"Huh? No way, I've been here for a year." I replied to her as my sister waved to her
"How come I've never seen you around?"
"I don't know, maybe you didn't notice me because we never talked."
"I see. Well, I'm Maka."
"I'm Asilin and this is my sister Seraphina."
"Are you a Meister?"
"Yep."
"That's cool. So-"
"Everybody get ready to dissect a new species." Dr. Stein said as everyone groaned within the class.
"Maka who are you talking to?" The boy who sat beside her leaned and saw my sister and me.
"Hello, I'm Asilin and this is my sister Seraphina." I stated
"I'm Soul." He said
"Hello!" My sister said with excitement in her voice.
It's not very often that we talked to people. Actually we used to be very social but than our parents were killed by a witch called Medusa. She set her eyes out on the power my mother had but she didn't know that it wasn't something that could be taken. But I don't think she cared, either way to her it was probably fun. She killed my mother and since my father witnessed it, he died as well. Luckily my sister and me went out to go get some new clothing. It was dramatizing by the time we got back and its never been the same ever since then. We lost our friends, we became less social, we just began to find comfort in each other and Seraphina still has nightmares about what happened that night. Though I think she has come to grasp the fact that I will always be here for her and grasped the fact that they are gone. I have come to grasp their death and I've actually moved on but I will never be the same as I was before that, I can never be that girl again.
"How old are you?" Maka asked Seraphina
"I'm 7 years old." She proudly stated
"And you Asilin?" Maka asked
"Oh, I'm 15 years old." I stated as she smiled
"Same." Maka said trying to think of other small talk topics.
"Listen Maka, no need for you to think of small talk. You seem very nice Maka, I would like to-" I began
"Can we hang out! We haven't hung out with someone for a whole year!" Seraphina said as Maka just gave me a confused look.
"Alright sure. I will show you to my friends." Maka said
"THANK YOU MAKA-CHAN!" Seraphina yelled as every student looked at her.
"Something you like to share Seraphina?" Dr. Stein asked
"MAKA is letting us hang out with her Dr. Stein!" Seraphina said as he chuckled
"That's nice of Maka." Dr. Stein as I smiled at him for not yelling at Seraphina.
He gave me an acknowledgement nod. The rest of the class Seraphina and Maka talked out a storm basically making my ears bleed. Though I didn't mind, it was nice to see Seraphina reach out to someone again. Also Maka and me talked as well and I figured that it was nice to have someone just listen, answer, ask…Socializing felt nice again. One of these days I'm going to have to thank her. Soul and me talked a bit as well. After class we began to follow Maka out of the classroom and to Lord Death's office. Apparently he wants to see both of us so we are walking together.
"Soul! Soul-san, Soul-san, Soul-san!" Seraphina began to sing as I could see the annoyance on Soul's face.
"Seraphina, Soul isn't liking that very much." I said as she began to stop singing.
"Asilin what do you think Lord Death wants us for?" Maka asked
"No idea. I've only been sent down to Lord Death once." I stated
"What for?"
"It was only me…It was after both of my parents were murdered. Seraphina was alone in the house with Dr. Stein. Yes we knew him personally, he was like a brother to my mother, an uncle to us. So when she died he was comforting Seraphina when I was called down. Usually you wouldn't see Lord Death call someone down unless it was extremely important. So I went and he asked me how I was doing and if Seraphina was ok. He told me that the person who killed my parents was extremely powerful and knew what she was doing, basically she got away. That's when he told me something that has stuck with me ever since, words that helped me to be me again. He told me not to get revenge for it only makes the heart waver, sick and it can even make me the same or worse than that person. He told me one last thing before I left, to make sure that I don't fall into the hands of that person, for she will do the same to me. Than if I fall, she will aim for my sister in attempts to get more power. Than I left, went home to Seraphina and stayed with her ever since, never once thinking or wanting revenge." I told them as Maka gave me a sad look.
"I'm sorry." She said as I chuckled
"No need to be sorry, you didn't do anything." I said
"We are here." Soul said as he opened the door to Lord Death's room.
We began to walk down the pathway and that's when I heard it. A voice beginning to say things and I turned around to see what it was.
"Who are these people? Enemies?" a male with blue short hair said as my eyes locked to him.
