-Maka's POV-

I found myself surrounded by dark water, floating in the silence.

"Where am I? What is this place?" I couldn't tell which way was up or down. "What's going on?" I asked myself, I could hear my voice echo around me.

"Maka…" I heard another voice, one I couldn't recognize, "Don't let the blood consume you Maka…"

"What? Who are you? What are you talking about?" I asked, trying to find where the voice was coming from.

"You shall find out soon, young one." And so it faded away, only to be replaced by loud screams. It was too loud; covering my ears didn't help either.

"Maka … Maka … Maka … MAKA! WAKE UP!"

-Soul's POV-

It was getting late. If it weren't for Blair waking me up, I would have slept the day away. Usually Maka would wake me up for school, but she didn't, not cool at all. I was about to walk into her room when she began screaming.

"Maka!" I burst into her room. Her eyes were still closed; she must have been having some kind of nightmare. I grabbed her shoulders and tried shaking her awake, no good. Damnit!

"Soul-kun? What are you doing to Maka?" asked the purple cat with the witch hat on her head.

"What does it look like? I'm trying to wake her up!" I yelled in frustration.

"Well why didn't you just say so?" she transformed to her human form and pointed her finger over at Maka. "Pum-Pumpkin, Pumpkin~ Time to wake up Maka." She said in a sing song tone. Then, a bucket appeared over our heads and poured cold water over both me and Maka.

"What the hell Blair! You could have told me to move out of the way first!" I yelled over at Blair who was laughing to herself.

"Soul?" I recognized Maka's voice. I turned over to her and I forgot that I still had my hands on her shoulders. "Why am I all wet and why are you and Blair in my room?" she asked, her tone of voice changing from confused to annoyed. I quickly backed away before she had a chance to grab her book that was on the table and do one of her famously painful Maka-Chops. Then I remembered why I even came in here to begin with.

-Maka's POV- (AN: srry I jump around a lot between POVS)

I wake up and find myself soaking wet with Soul and Blair in my room.

"Maka, don't you remember?" asked Soul. I noticed that he looked a little worried.

"Remember what?" I asked, still annoyed.

"You were screaming in your sleep. That must have been one hell of a nightmare. What happened?" Nightmare? Oh yeah, I remember now, but why did I forget? And why was I screaming? This isn't making any sense. Soul noticed my hesitation in answering his question. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. Come on Blair; let's leave her alone for a while." Blair only nodded and left the room, Soul stood there at the doorway. "Umm, you should probably start getting ready or we'll be late for school." Once he said that, he left and closed the door, leaving me alone. He seemed a bit hurt that I didn't tell him anything, but the last thing I wanted was to worry him with some stupid and random dream that could mean absolutely nothing.

It wasn't that long ago that we defeated the Kishin and stopped him from plunging the world into insanity. Last thing we needed was another crises to deal with. After a few moments, I looked over at the clock and realized that if I didn't get dressed now, we'd be late! I managed to get on my usual clothes, grab my books, and run out of my room. I saw Soul, already dressed, over at the table eating breakfast.

"Hey Maka." Mumbled Soul with his mouth full of scrambled eggs.

"Come on Soul, we're going to be late!" I ran over, grabbed his arm and pulled him out of there and off to school we went.

"Damn Maka! Can I at least finish eating?" I heard him yell, though all I wanted was to get to school. Unlike that nightmare, last thing I wanted was to be late for school.

-General POV-

Two figures were walking up a stone path to an old castle somewhere in Transylvania. The dark forest hid the castle well from the nearby town. There had been rumors of vampire attacks in the area and that a future Kishin was somehow involved.

"Kathleen, the mission is to find and destroy the vampire, right?" Asked the tallest of the figures.

"Yes, Shinigami-sama see's a lot of potential from us and if we can pass this 'test' of his, then we can enter Shibusen Academy." Answered the young girl named Kathleen, "Think you can keep him under control during this mission?" she smirked.

"Ha, no guarantee he'll be quiet." He laughed alongside her. They were already inside the castle. They walked along only to come upon a black and red coffin.

"Let's get this started." She mumbled. The coffin door began to open and a tall figure wearing a long cape appeared. "Good morning … or should I say good evening Mr. Dracula."
