Chapter 9
Lance walked down to Black*star’s house and searched for an opening. The window to his bedroom was opened. She hoisted herself up onto the window seal. “Dissecting you will be very entertaining” she said with an evil giggle. She leaned over the sleeping boy. “You deserve everything you’re going to get” she whispered. Lance pulled the duvet back so only his chest was exposed. She unclipped her marker and draw dissection lines. *Thanks to the professor I can dissect you while you sleep and not wake you if you’re a light sleeper* she thought. She pulled out her knife and cleaned it with her shirt. Black*star opened his eyes slightly to see a blurred figure with a knife. His eyes widened and he tackled Lance to the ground. He held her arms down, Tears of anger falling down her cheek. “What the hell are you doing?” he yelled. “Dissecting you before you dissect me” she whispered. “I’d never hurt you like that, I’m here to protect you” he replied. “Then why did you leave me alone in the infirmary?” she asked. “I thought you would be ok, but now I can see you are a hazard to the safety of everyone in the DWMA” he said with a frown. Black*star got off Lance and picked her up off the ground, He put her over his shoulder and walked out the front door. “What have I done wrong Star boy?” asked Lance. “Don’t call me that, it’s Black*star” he said bluntly. Tears continued to roll down Lance’s face as they walked to the DWMA. Black*star quietly waked to the death room door. “Please let me go, Star boy” Lance sobbed. “Never call me that again” Black*star said coldly. He walked down the hall and stood in front of Shinigami-sama. “Sir, Lance tried to assassinate me while I was sleeping. She is a hazard to the safety of everyone here at the DWMA and the citizens of Death City” said Black*star. “What do you suggest we do about this problem?” asked Shinigami-sama. “That’ll be your chose sir” replied Black*star. “Let me go, I’ve done nothing wrong” screamed Lance. Black*star dropped Lance onto the ground. Lance curled up in pain. “Shut up, we are discussing your punishment” said Black*star harshly. “I thought you would protect me” she whispered. “You betrayed my trust and for that you must pay” he replied coldly. “Take her to the dungeon for the night, she’ll be fine by morning” Shinigami-sama said with a sigh. Black*star nodded. He grabbed Lance’s wrist and dragged her out of the death room. “You betrayed my trust; why are all boys like this?” she sobbed. Black*star ignored her.
They finally got down to the dungeons. “We’re here” he said blankly. He walked her to cell 13. “Hm, my lucky number, how ironic” she said to herself. Black*star walked her through the door. “You can stay here until you rot I don’t care” he said, anger in his voice. He slowly closed the door and it became dark in the small cell. “Love is a weakness and I am not weak” he said to himself. “Why does this shit always happen to me?” she yelled.
Black*star walked home. He opened the door and Tsubaki was waiting for him. “What have you done?” she said. “She tried to kill me so I gave her the punishment she deserves” he replied. “I told you that if you left her something bad would happen I didn’t know it would be by you” she said with a frown. “She betrayed me” he said bluntly. “No you betrayed her; I thought you loved her” Tsubaki retorted. “I don’t, love is weakness” he said. “Love is an emotion that makes you want to care for that person, it is not a weakness” she yelled. *She has never raised her voice to anyone, I’m in trouble* Black*star thought. “Just go to bed” she commanded. Tsubaki went to her room and slammed the door. “Maybe I am a user. Maybe I can’t be trusted” he said to himself. Black*star went to bed and fell asleep.
