Hide and seek....extreme.
Katherine PoV:
It is dark first like always. But then, all of a sudden, bright, glowing white light is here. "Ah...so I fell asleep." I sigh. So I gotta train...again. I fall asleep on trains so easily. I just keep standing here, until I eventually, annoyed as ever, yell: "OI! I know that you are here!" A giggle appears behind me. "I see...So your senses got better. Well...let's train them today, since it's been a while." I nod, already closing my eyes again. This is the only place where I can see....Only when I'm asleep... A single sanp of two thin fingers break the silence. I feel the white mass changing into a wood. I'm linked to this place, so, of course I feel it changing. I smirk. "Wanna start then?" "Sure. Good luck. We'll see if you can find me before you're gonna wake up. Well...Chatch me!" I feel the presence of the other one leaving. I smile. "Let's go then." And I run, my eyes still closed, after the stronger one. So fast...I know that I don't stand a chance. But giving up isn't an option eighter. I'll have to outsmart- "Huh?" The trees seem to be attacking me! So this place wasn't a choice that was made out of a sudden mood. I grin. So it's gonna be more difficult this time. I can't differ from the trees movements and the others. Dammit. But I didn't come here unprepared after all. I never do. Every time I fall asleep I come here. And I train. This extreme game of hide and seek isn't something we often do. I think it's actually quite fun. "I'll win this time." I whisper to myself as I dodge another branch. I continue to listen to every single noise, and be it so small. I gotta win- there! I grin. Then the steps begin to move. We both know it. And we both still don't know who's gonna be the hunter and who's gonna be the prey this time. I hold my breath. Where- "ARGH!" Something hit me. And I know what. Looks like it's gonna be decidet now...Who's gonna be the hunter and who the prey in this insane game? "You know that you can't win." The voice is soft, and jet cold. "Well...but I can try. And if I give up now...I'll automatically lose, won't I? I should at least try. Now come at me. I know that you are superior. But I can't give up." "Aw...what a nice little speech you held there. Well, I'll do as you wish then. " steps are coming closer. So fast... And in that moment I became the prey. I only attack every now and then, I only can run away. "Your defense is still weak!" "I KNOW!" I keep running. Yeah...I'm pretty bad at defense. I grit my teeth. Then I feel the beat in my cest begin again. "Oh...looks like I'm waking up...See you...And I'll win the next time!" "KEep believing. Goodbye. I'm looking forward to stealing your sleep again~" The voice get's further away...No...I get further away. Why did he have to interfere now...?
Heartbeat.
I hear a faint voice, which becomes louder and louder. I feel someone breathing really fast near my face. Edwards face must be close to mine, and it seems like he was panicking. „What? “ He releases a breath. „Oh, thank god. You’re alive.“ „Huh? What? Why? Of course I am! “„You stopped breathing and when we checked your heart didn’t beat!“ „Yeah, nee-san! And you wouldn’t wake up! “ „Well, now I’m awake and alive.“ Ed sits back to his own place. „Really, Kate! To scare us like that… “ I turn my head away. „I’m sorry… Well, but I don’t have a heart in the first place, remember? Mine is transmuted out of my own blood, or more like, of the iron that’s in it. So it may stop beating sometimes. It doesn’t matter. It’ll continue anyways. Just…don’t think about it. “ Ed sighs. “You’re hopeless.” “Same to you…aren’t we here yet?” “Yeah, five minutes.” “Okay. We should get ready then. “Okay. Are we gonna go visiting Roy again?” “Yeah, he wants us to. Seems like we have a mission.” I nod when I get up and I take my cloak. Just like my brothers it has Flamels sign on it. It is black, like my hair, and the sign is in blood red. The bandage around my eyes is rough, but I got used to it over the last years. I don’t need my eyes to see anymore. “Come on. Let’s go then.” Both of my brothers get up. “Sure.” A few minutes later we get off the train. “Welcome to East City!” a woman on the train station says. We don’t pay attention to her. Careful not to bump into anyone I try to get out of the train station as fast as possible. My brothers seem to get recognized several times, or, at least, many people think that Al is the “Fullmetal Alchemist”. I allow myself a small giggle. Ed’s gonna be so furious. Using alchemy, I get on the next roof, since I can move much faster up there. I wait for my brothers to come out of the station, then I run parallel to them on the roofs. It’s easy to keep up with them. My long, braided hair was blowing in the wind. The braid was twice or thrice as long as Ed’s, but, just like him, I won’t cut it off. I smile a little at the thought. We keep running towards the centre of East city. Soon, I’m gonna see my one and only best friend again. She’s older than me, sure, but she’s also an awesome friend. Well, guess I’ll see you soon, Riza.
