Oh no! I thought as I ran out of school. Crap! I'm gonna be late! I hope Papa is still out when I get home. But, of course my life just sucks so bad that as I sprinted up my street, I saw my Papa's unmistakable red convertible parked in our driveway. Damn it! I slowed to a walk as I walked up to my front door and paused at the knob. I was debating turning around and staying the night away from home, just hoping my Papa would forget about me not being home by tomorrow. I turned the knob, deciding that it would be highly unlikely that he would.
"Maka! Get your butt in here now!" I heard my papa's angry yell coming from the living room. I slowly crept into the room, cringing when I saw my dad sitting on the couch with his newest whore under his arm. She was clinging to him as though her life depended on it. It almost made me want to throw up, and I was glad that I hadn't gotten lunch that day.
"Yes Papa?" I asked while trying to decide whether he was drunk. Chances are he was, but you never know.
"Where have you been? School ended two hours ago!" I could smell the alchohol on his breath from where I was standing. And I was standing about three feet away from him.
"Well, you see, Professor Stien-" I didn't get very far when Papa lurched unexpectedly from his seat grabbing my pony tail and yanking my hair painfully.
"Well, you see, Professor Stien ." He mocked me in a thin high pitched voice before striking me across the face with the back of his hand. "I don't give a shit about your stupid teachers. When school ends I want you home immediantly! No excuses! Do you understand me?" I nodded my head. He gave my hair another sharp yank and struck my face again. "I can't hear you! I said 'Do you understand?'"
"Yes, Papa. I understand." I said. He nodded his head and released my hair, He sat back down wiht his whore who wasn't even trying to conceal her peals of laughter. I glared at her, but she only smirked at me before sticking her tounge down my Papa's throat, He paused for a moment to look up at me.
"Go in the kitchen and make dinner for me and Jennifer. Then go to your room. You are not to eat anything for dinner or breakfast. If I find out that you did, well, it won't be pretty." I nodded and went off into the kitchen. All of a sudden, I regreted not having lunch after all. My empty stomach growled in resentment towards me. I started on thier dinner and thirty minutes later I was lying in bed, trying to ignore the loud noises coming from the living room. I grabbed a library book from the library and opened it, trying to focus on the fairy tale rather than what I knew was happening right behind the paper thin walls of our house. After a while I heard my father and Jennifer sit down to eat.
About ten minutes later I heard her leave and my father shuffle off to his room, which as immediantly followed by his snoring. I smiled to myself and crept out of my bed. I quickly changed as quietly as I could. I put on a short, pleated, purple plaid mini-skirt, a purple under shirt under a black half shirt. I put on my black combat boots and strung them with purple laces. I did my hair in a half up half down style. I opened my window and grabbed my concert ticket as I headed out. I would finally, finally get to hear the infamous band: Soul Stealers.
-TIME SKIP-
I arrived at the concert out of breath since I had jogged there. I got my ticket checked, recieved a bracelet, and was sent to the stage. My eyes widened when I saw just how early I was. The amphitheater was nearly empty. I ran up and snagged a spot near the stage and waited for the band to come out and play. I was still trying to calm down when someone bumped into me from behind, making me jump nearly fifty feat in the air.
"Sorry! I was watching where I was going!" The stranger apologized, helping me up from the ground. His voice was strangely familiar, although I couldn't exactly place where I had heard it from.
"Oh! It's alright! I wasn't paying any attention either. Guess I'm just really excited." The stranger smiled warmly at me. I took a moment to take in the boy standing in front of me. He was wearing a beanie and a strange pair of red contacts. I looked curiously at them, trying to figure out why this guy looked so familiar. He noticed my staring and I turned my head, embaressed.
"Hey, it's alright. I'm used to people staring. It's no big deal." He had a hard tone in his voice. "Pretty scary, huh?"
"No, not really. It's actually pretty cool!" I said looking at him and smiling. He opened his mouth to reply when I spotted his teeth. "OH MY GOD! YOUR TEETH! That's so cool! It's just like Soul! Are they real?" I reached out to touch his teeth, when he stopped me.
"Woah! Woah! Hold on! No touching the teeth!" He snapped. I flushed red in embarassment.
"Sorry! I guess I got a little excited. Oh! Where are my manners! I'm Maka. Maka Albarn." I smiled and held out a hand for him to shake.
"I'm So-Sean. Sean Edwards." He smiled back at me and took my hand. He raised it to his lips and kissed my knuckles. "It was a pleasure to meet you Maka." He grinned up at me. Suddenly, my face lit up brighter than fireworks on the Fourth of July.
"B-baka! MAKA-CHOP!" I yelled as I slammed a book I had gotten out of my bag down on his head.
"FUCK!" He yelled, falling on his ass, grabbing his head. " What's wrong with you women?"
"YOU BAKA!" I yelled, still blushing furiously. I turned and marched away. I heard him get up and run after me.
"Alright! Alright! I'm sorry!" He said. Suddenly, I felt arms wrap around my shoulders and a chin rest on my head. He pressed me against his warm, muscular chest."Well, good-bye Miss Maka. Maybe we'll meet again. But for now, I have to get going." He released me and as suddenly as he appeared, he left. By the time the shock from the sudden hug wore off and I turned around, he was long gone.
"What the fuck was that?" I mumbled quietly to my self. A few minutes later, the concert began. I turned around and realized with shock just how much the amphitheater had filled up while I was distracted. I looked up at the stage just in time to see Soul Eater Evans walk on stage. Immediantly the screams of estrogen fueled teenage girls filled the amphitheater. Soul smiled his trademark half grin. I looked up at him and took him in. His snow white hair was mussed, his red eyes gleamed with mischief, and his sharp teeth glinted in the light of the stage sending shivers down my spine. I nearly fainted when he turned his head and his eyes met mine and he winked! Soul Eater Evans, lead singer of Soul Stealers, actually winked at me!
I was in heaven, or at least the equivilent of it. That is until I turned around and noticed the voluptious women standing right behind me, smiling a flirtatious smile at him. I fell into a pit of envy and despair as I looked between the scantily clad purple haired women and the sexy god on the stage. How could I have even thought for a moment that he would look at some flat chested, average girl like me. My heart sank a little at this revelation. I sighed inwardly as I watched Soul walk across the stage.
"I'm Soul Eater of Soul Stealers and I just wanted toshout out at you all and say a few words about our setlist for the evening. We'll be preforming a few songs from our new album Good Girl Gone Bad, then as a closing we'll preform a couple of songs from our Monster album. Now, WHO'S READY TO ROCK!" Soul shouted after his speech, sending shivers down my spine. I could hardly stop myself from screaming with joy as the rest of the band members walked out onto the stage. Death's Kidd walked to the drums, Black*Star took over the bass, Tsubaki and Patti picked up guitars and strummed a few chords, checking the tuning, and Liz was walking across the stage giving everything a double check. She walked off the stage and gave an okay signal. The band immediantly began thier first song.
Death's Kid and Patti started the instrumentals in total sync. I stared on in awe as Tsubaki added in her backup. Then my heart nearly skipped a beat as Soul's vocals began.
(Soul:Italics, Band: Bold, Soul and Band: Bold Italics )
My girlfriend's, a dick magnet.
My girlfriend's, gotta have it.
She's hot, can't stop, up on stage, doin shots
Tip the man, he'll ring the bell.
Get her drunk, she'll scream like hell.
Soul walked across the stage, thrusting his hips out before leaning over and slapping hands with the audience.
Dirty girl, gettin' down
Dance with guys from out of town
Grab her ass, actin' tough.
Mess with her, she'll fuck you up
With that Soul raised a fist into the air, like a mock punch.
No one really knows, If she drunk or if she stoned
But she's coming back to my place tonight!
Soul gestured back towards back stage.
She likes to shake her ass,
She grinds it to the beat.
She likes to pull my hair when I make her grind her teeth.
He smiled a toothy smile at a girl in the front row and she fainted.
I like to strip her down, she's naughty to the end.
You know what she is, no doubt about it
She's a bad, bad girlfriend.
Soul paused his singing while the instrumentals continued on.
Red thong, party's on
Love this son, sing along.
Come together, leave alone
See you later, back at home.
No one really knows, If she's drunk or if she's stoned
But she's coming back to my place tonight.
I say, no one really knows, Just how far she's gonna go
But I'm finding out later tonight!
She likes to shake her ass,
She grinds it to the beat.
She likes to pull my hair when I make her grind her teeth.
I like to strip her down, she's naughty to the end.
You know what she is, no doubt about it
She's a bad, bad girlfriend.
Soul wagged his finger in the air grinning.
Doesn't take her long, to make things right
But does it make her wrong to have the time of her life?
The time of her li-i-i-i-ife.
My girlfriend's, a dick magnet. My girlfriend's, gotta have it.
Another short instrumental break gave Soul some time to breath and egg on the females (and a few males) in the crowd.
She's a gold digger
Now you figure
Out it's over
Pull the trigger
Futures finished
There it went
Savings gone
The money spent.
I look around and all I see,
Is no good, bad, and ugly.
Man she's hot and fixed to be
The future ex-Miss Connolly!
Soul crossed his arms in the air, forming an "X" with his arms.
She likes to shake her ass,
She grinds it to the beat.
She likes to pull my hair when I make her grind her teeth.
I like to strip her down, she's naughty to the end.
You know what she is, no doubt about it
She's a bad, bad girlfriend.
She's a bad, bad girlfriend.
She's a bad, bad girlfriend.
The crowed roared as the song finally came to an end. Soul's face was flushed with exasparation and excitment as they satrted into the next song. Soul started out the song this time, with vocals.
I'm so addicted to (Tsubaki started in her, plucking a few strings.)
All the things you do!
When your going down on me,
In between the sheets.
All the sounds you make (Death's Kidd joined in softly on the drums)
With every breath you take.
It's unike anything,
When your loving me!
Black*Star added in some small bass as the instrumental continued for a few seconds.
Oh girl, lets take it slow
So as for you, well you know where to go.
I wanna take my love, And hate you till the end.
(Patti came in now on her own guitar)
It's not like you to turn away,
From all the bullshit I can't take.
It's not like me to walk away.
Walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away.
I'm so addicted to
All the things you do!
When your going down on me,
In between the sheets.
All the sounds you make
With every breath you take.
It's unike anything,
When your loving me!
Yea-ah!
I know when it's gettin rough
All the times we spent,
When we try to make this love
Somethin' better than,
Just making up again.
It's not like you to turn away,
From all the bullshit I can't take.
Just when I think I can walk away.
Walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away.
I'm so addicted to
All the things you do!
When your going down on me,
In between the sheets.
All the sounds you make
With every breath you take.
It's unike anything,
I'm so addicted to
All the things you do!
When your going down on me,
In between the sheets.
All the sounds you make
With every breath you take.
It's unike anything,
When your loving me!
When your loving me!
How can I make it through,
All the things you do?
There's just gotta be
More to you and me!
I'm so addicted to
All the things you do!
When your going down on me,
In between the sheets.
All the sounds you make
With every breath you take.
It's unike anything,
It's unlike anything!
I'm so addicted to
All the things you do!
When your going down on me,
All the sounds you make
With every breath you take.
It's unike anything.
I'm so addicted to,
Addicted to you!
Soul bowed as the clapping and cheering died down.
"Well, that concludes our songs from Good Girl Gone Bad. After a short break, we'll move on to Monster." With that he exited the stage followed closely by Tsubaki, Black*Star, Patti, and Death's Kidd. Everyone immediantly began to raid the gift shops, and me being me, I hadn't seen the stampede until it was too late. I turned around and attempted to run away, but failed. I only suceeded in getting myself pushed back into a door that was slightly ajar. I fell to the floor with a whuf and flew thirty feet in the air when I heard someone gasp.
"AHHHHH!" I screamed.
"AHHHHH!" A chorus of four voices screamed back. My eyes widened to the size of dinner plates when I realized just what door I had been shoved through. All six members of Soul Stealers stared at me, and I stared back for a couple of seconds. Then, I realized I was still sprawled out on the floor and shot up.
"Ah! I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to intrude! There was a stampede of sorts, I got disoriented, then I was shoved through a door. I swear I wasn't stalking you guys or anything weird like that!" I bowed and turned on my heel to leave.
"Wait! Don't go!" I heard a soft, shy voice speak up right as I was about to leave. I turned around.
"I really didn't mean to come in here, please don't call the authorities!" I begged.
"No silly, that's not why I wanted you to wait. I wanted to know your name." I looked up at Tsubaki's kind and open face as she smiled at me.
"O-oh. Well, my name is Maka. Maka Albarn." I said, returning her smile and holding my hand out for her to shake. She did.
"Maka...Are you by any chance Japanese?" She asked, curiosity plain on her face.
"Ya , actually. On my moms side." I smiled at her again.
"THAT'S ENOUGH WITH YOUR STORY! IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED THIS IS MY SHOW! ME! THE MIGHTY BLACK*STAR! THE ONE WHO WILL ONE DAY SURPASS GOD HIMSELF!" Black*Star interuppted our converstation. I smiled and giggled a little at his strange little speech.
"Well, It was nice meeting you all, but I should get going." I smiled and turned, once again heading for the door.
"Wait, Maka!" I heard a different voice call out this time. I turned and found myself face to face with THE Soul Eater Evans. A deep blush lit up my face.
"Y-yes?" I answered.
"Don't you want, like, an autograph or something?" He asked, looking awkward, shoving his hands in his pocket. I smiled sweetly at his shyness.
"No, it's fine. I don't need it. Plus, actually talking to you guys is way cooler than any autograph." I smiled once more before turning and leaving out the door,
I found my way back to my old spot, grateful that the excitment had died down momentarily. I thought back to a few minutes ago, when I had crashed into what had appeared to be a band meeting. While I was conversing with Tsubaki, everyone else had resumed what they were doing before, but kept sneaking glances at me. Hell, Liz flat out stared at me.
Lost deep in thought I had failed to notice the amphitheater fill up again, and failed to notice the band arrive on stage until I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and foun d my emerald eyes staring into deep crimson ones.
"AHHH!" And for the third that evening, I found myself jumping nearly thirty feet into the air. Soul chuckled deeply at me, causing me to blush profusley.
"Chill out, it's just me. Tsubaki wanted me to give you this." He handed me a scrap of paper and turned around before I could say anything. On the scrap of paper was Tsubaki's phone number. I smiled warmly to myself. I looked up just in time to catch the band beginning of the next song. This time Tsubaki started and Patti backed her up, while Black*Star layed down the Came in with the vocals.
(Soul:Italicsi, Band:Bold, Band and Soul:Bold Italics)
The secret side of me,
I never let you see.
I keep it caged,
But I can't control it.
So stay away from me,
The beast is ugly.
I feel the rage
And I just can't hold it.
It's scratching on the walls,
In the closet in the halls
It comes awake and
I can't control it.
Hiding under the bed.
In my closet in my head.
Why won't somebody come and save me from this,
Make it end!
I feel it deep within,
It's just beneath the skin.
I must confess that I feel like a monster.
I hate what I've become.
The darkness just begun.
I must confess that I feel like a monstert.
I, I feel like a monster.
I, I feel like a monster.
My secret side I keep.
Hid under lock and key,
I keep it cages
But I can't control it.
Cause if I let him out,
He'll tear me up, bring me down
Why won't somebody come and save me from this,
Make it end!
I feel it deep within,
It's just beneath the skin.
I must confess that I feel like a monster.
I hate what I've become.
The darkness just begun.
I must confess that I feel like a monster.
I feel it deep within,
It's just beneath the skin.
I must confess that I feel like a monster.
I, I feel like a monster.
I, I feel like a monster.
It's hiding in the dark.
It's teeth are razor sharp.
There's no escape for me, it wants my soul it wants my heart.
No one can hear me scream,
Maybe it's just a dream
Maybe it's inside of me.
STOP THIS MONSTER
I feel it deep within,
It's just beneath the skin.
I must confess that I feel like a monster.
I hate what I've become.
The darkness just begun.
I must confess that I feel like a monster.
I feel it deep within,
It's just beneath the skin.
I must confess that I feel like a monster.
I feel it deep within,
It's just beneath the skin.
I must confess that I feel like a monster.
I've gotta lose control
He's something radical
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster.
I, I feel like a monster.
I, I feel like a monster.
I, I feel like a monster.
Without even pausing, they immediantly started the next song:
I can't escape this hell
So many times I've tried
But I'm still caged inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself
So what if you can see the darkest side of me
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
This animal, this animal
I can't escape myself
I can't escape myself
So many times I've lied
So many times I've lied
But there's still rage inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself
So what if you can see the darkest side of me
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
Somebody help me through this nightmare
I can't control myself
Somebody wake me from this nightmare
I can't escape this hell
This animal, this animal, this animal,
this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal
So what if you can see the darkest side of me
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
This animal I have become
After the song the concert was over and everyone left, slower than the intermissioin, thank Shinigami. I pulled the number from my pocket and sent a message:
Hey Tsubaki! It's Maka. I just wanted to let you know this is my number!
A few seconds later I recieved a reply:
Hey Maka! ^-^ Glad to hear from you! I'll have to ttyl cause we are really busy now. /.\ bye for now!
I smiled at my phone before putting it away.
