All Chapters of Soul Eaters: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

"What?" I asked her confused. "Ba! Ba!" she demanded again more urgently indicating the stone. I looked down at it and with great concern noted that the little crack was getting bigger. I made a distressed noise in the back of my throat and quickly put it back on trying hard not to dwell on it. Though the feeling of dread kept growing until it was gnawing at my gut. "I'm so sorry, Bianca. I can't make it come back, it only comes when someone is sick like you were," I informed her gently. She seemed to understand because she nodded and stopped asking, still she looked so sad that I gave her a tight hug to erase some of the sting of disappointment. She accepted the hug with a tiny smile pointed at me."Tha… ooh," she mumbled shyly. I took a moment to realize she was saying 'thank you'. "You are very welcome, sweetie," I replied softly enjoying her sweetness. I got up and stepped out into the hall to see if I could find Benjamin or Ms. Suzy hoping to help her before it became too

My attempts, though terrible, did work much to my surprise. "What the hell just happened?" Craig said being the first to speak. "Seriously?" Benjamin spouted off turning to him in disbelief. "That's your question?" "What? Like you have a better idea!" Craig defended. "Better than you apparently," he came back. "Oh, shut up," Craig stated. "Boys! Don't make me send you to your rooms," I popped off. This very odd exchange seemed to have worked to calm everyone, but I still felt as if someone was staring daggers at my back. I turned to face the culprit only to find the last person in the world I would have thought I would see today. She looked pissed; very, very pissed. "Avamarie," I breathed. Everyone turned to see what I was looking at. "Who is that?" Craig asked. "That is Avamarie. She's the woman that is helping me," I told him. "She's a ghost," Benjamin chimed in. "The one I saw the other day.""Well, you were right she is very good looking," Craig said in appreciation. "

Her declaration didn't sit well with me. "What do you mean?" "I mean, that something isn't right. I got the feeling there's more to this than what it seems." I leaned back next to her and allowed her words to run through my head. I could hear the honest worry in her voice, but I couldn't figure out what she had seen or heard to have caused it. "I have no idea what is right or wrong now. I guess it's a good time to make a leap of faith, don't you?" She stared off into the distance deep in thought before she finally let out a deep sigh and nodded."I guess at this point we don't have a choice," she said and pushed away from the truck to turn to me. "Just promise me you'll be safe."I gave her a sarcastic look. "Do you honestly think I'll go out and look for trouble? I mean, you haven't known me for very long, but what have I done to make you think that I'd go looking for trouble?"She raised an eyebrow at me. "Do I need to list it?"I just laughed and hugged her. I didn't want to adm

Both men looked at me with confusion. "What?" asked Gerard. "I'm not going to threaten to kill you," I said with a wicked chuckle."You're not?""No. I'm just going to tell you that I don't care where you came from or what you did. Because right now we are all that's left and we need to help each other in order to save this world," I told them truthfully. As a look of relief passed over their faces, I knew it was time to strike. I wanted my words to make an even bigger impact. I stepped closer and fondled my gun in adoration."On that same note if you do betray us just remember one thing. Out of everyone here, I have the most to lose and the most to fight for. So, my retribution will be harsh and slow." I continued to stare them down and I felt a sick satisfaction at the look of fear that began to form in Gerard's azure eyes. Tom's stayed blank and I wondered if he had any emotion beyond anger. But I dismissed him not willing to worry about that right at this moment."I won't kill

Nobody moved as we stared at this little deer that seemed to think he owned the clearing. I don't know if any of us actually believed it was a deer and not an Eater in a tan fur disguise. Gerard was the first one to slowly lower his gun and let out a few little breathy, shaky, chuckles. Craig and I followed suite letting our guard relax slightly. Tom was the only one still glued into the area as if he was waiting for something more to come through the brush.Paranoid was the first word that came to my mind at that point. But when the animalistic roar came from behind the trees, I understood his paranoia. Out of the depths several creatures burst forward into view leaving an explosion of limbs and leaves in their wake. They stopped in their tracks and began making odd clicking noises with their mouths then let out a loud high-pitched scream signaling to every creature in the area that they had found the prey to whet their appetites. Their clothing was tattered as if they had hit every
