She was running, the under brush whipped at her mercilessly as she attempted to navigate it. The blood smeared down her sides and across her fur was still wet and the deep gash in her side was adding to it. Her fear drove her to run even faster, but she couldn't keep the pace up for much longer. Her panting breaths filled the night air as the thing chasing her got closer, she panicked and the adrenaline rush made her go faster. Her pace was getting slower as she finally broke free of the brush and ran on to the dirt road. She stopped, feeling the thing had stopped chasing her. Listening to the brush she could hear what sounded like the creature was running away. Sighing with relief she laid down in the middle of the road. Looking up she judged it was around midnight and after laying her head down, she fell asleep.

Several hours later…

Edward and Alphonse Elric were walking down a dirt road. It was around 9 in the morning. They had just gotten off the train, but had taken a wrong turn, so now they were, unfortunately, lost.

"Brother, we're lost!"

"No we're not!"

"Are too!"

"Are not!" A fight quickly ensued and Edward grudgingly admitted defeat. "O.k. we're lost, so what… do… we… do…?" There several feet in front of them was a large, white, wolfish dog; its fur was smeared in blood. It seemed to be dead, but you can never know it might be a trick. Ed thought he was seeing things. "Al do you see that?"

"Yeah…" Al confirmed he wasn't seeing things, so Ed, being Ed, picked up a stick and began to poke the poor thing. They didn't notice it crack an eye open, probably to see who was poking it. It didn't like what it saw so it closed its eye again. "Brother! Stop that!" Al took the stick from his brother, and threw it into the woods.

"Hey! What was that for!? It's probably dead anyways!" Al, being Al, carefully picked it up. After careful examination, Al decided it wasn't dead at all.

"It's not dead! And look it has a collar." They both peered at the collar, there engraved into the leather was the name; Suki. So now they knew a little more about her. Suki opened her eyes again and was greeted with blonde hair and gold eyes, and the feeling of being carried.

"Well, Al, you were right, she's not dead." Ed noticed that one of her eyes was blue while the other was brown. Suki stared at him for several seconds, never breaking the gaze. Then she spoke.

(Can you hear me?) Ed jumped at the strange voice that had entered his head.

"Who are you!?" He yelled and Al looked at him strange. He turned to Al. "You didn't hear that?"

"Hear what, brother?"

"You didn't hear the voice?" Al gave him a concerned look.

"I didn't hear anything." Ed was getting strange vibes from the dog and he wasn't sure whether he liked it or not. He decided to drop it; it was probably just his mind playing tricks on him. 'I didn't hear that, did I?' He thought while they kept walking, Al still carrying Suki, and Ed wondering if he had gone crazy.
