I do not own Soul Eater.
Chapter 16
Kidd
It felt like an iron weight had fallen on top of me, I had failed. I wasn't able to convince the others that Tsubaki was innocent, that Asura was the spy.
"No, the werewolves chose to attack early, it's not my fault, I didn't have enough time," I tried to assure myself, but it was empty. Even if I had that extra day I knew deep down that I wouldn't have been able to convince them.
Asura was to popular, he was fathers best friend, the others respected him, there was no way that I would have been able to convince the others. I might have been able to break Tsubaki out, but I wouldn't be able to convince the others of Asuras guilt.
I was going to have no choice but to fight the other werewolves tonight.
My heart dropped, I had no way of telling which beast was Crona, I might end up fighting Crona and harming him without even knowing it.
The thought made bile start to rise up, but I fought it back.
Making my way down the halls, I walked towards the cells, and walked to the iron door that Tsubaki was behind.
"Tsubaki," I said slowly, "I'm sorry, I haven't been able to convince them you were innocent," I apologized.
Tsubaki was silent before speaking, "There's going to be a battle tonight, isn't there? I caught bits and pieces but, tell me whats going on, Kidd," She pleaded, and I could hear the chains from behind the door.
Taking a deep breath, a turned around and leaned against the door, "The Lycans will be attacking tonight, the pack we're mutual friends with and I have been trying to stop it, but we couldn't. Keith, he told me that the attack had been pushed up to tonight because of the Blood Moon," I told her.
She took in a sharp breath, "Lycans...they have less control during the Blood Moon, don't they? Their animal instincts are stronger..." She said softly, but didn't say how the Lycans were also faster, stronger and more agile than ever before during this time. There was no need to say it.
"For three days, at least, there is going to be a major scale battle between us," I said softly, "At least after the Blood Moon is over, we will be back to the odds we are more used to," I said with a bitter laugh.
The Lycans were superior in strength, speed, durability, and agility. The only advantage the vampires had was our ability to use weapons and tools. If we didn't have weapons, we would have been destroyed by the lycans centuries ago.
Still, it might have been better that way, the war wouldn't have lasted as long as it did, the hatred would have been gone.
The vampires, we, called the Lycans monsters, the Lycans called us vampires monsters. In truth, we were both monsters, savage beasts that killed to survive.
"Kidd, they aren't bad people," Tsubaki began and trailed off, "But, you must already know that, right?" She asked.
I hesitated, then started laughing, "You might find this funny, I mean you're friends with a Lycan, so it might not seem that bad, but maybe to you it is," I started and shook my head, "I'm in love with a Lycan."
I waited for her to laugh, or say something in shock, because truthfully, befriending a lycan, and falling in love with one were two completely different lines that were crossed.
But Tsubaki did neither.
"Kidd, that's great!" she said cheerfully, "Do you think I could meet her some time?" She asked then had a bit of a teasing tone to her voice, "Or maybe 'him' in this case?"
I smiled a little, "Sure, only if you properly introduce me to your new best friend when this is all over," I said. Blackstar had been her friend, but when she had been accused of being the traitor, the vampire had shown clear disgust at her for befriending a lycan.
Blackstar wasn't cruel, but he had it deep in his mind that lycans were evil, he was a firm believer and for Tsubaki to befriend a lycan, it was probably in his mind the biggest betrayal anyone could have done to him.
I didn't blame Blackstar for how he acted, but I wished he hadn't been so mean when he found out. He practically spat on Tsubakis face. It hurts Tsubaki more than being imprisoned, having her closest and oldest friend hate her.
"Kidd, do you think we will ever find peace with the Lycans?" Tsubaki asked.
I sighed as I looked up at the ceiling, it would be an hour till sunset, and hour till the fight started.
"I don't know," I answered honestly, "I don't know. I hope so, but I don't know."
Well, I hope you guys enjoyed. Review and tell me your opinion.
