Hey everyone! New chapter is up :) not much to say... so... enjoy :3

I dont own Get Ed


"It is she..."

I opened my eyes. Around me was darkness, swirling dark colors haunted the air around me, and i was floating. When i blinked, the darkness roared to life in blazing fire and heat. Flames encircled me and burned my skin, and my eyes seemed to flicker around randomly and wildly. I screamed, but it was in no comparison to the loud burning fury that engulfed my surroundings. I tried to move, but i was bound by an invisible force that i had no control of, which made me feel claustrophobic and useless. "Deets! Loogie! Fizz! Burn!" I yelled. "ED!" I cried, hoping any sort of link our minds could share would enable him to help me. This heat was unbearable against my melting skin, and I was near death. Death to me, seemed impossible due to my machine-body, but now it felt so real, like any movement would cause me to close my eyes for eternity, with no way to live life again. I must accept death. Ed will be safe if i'm dead anyway... I thought, and i closed my eyes to block out the thick burning smoke that surrounded me. Ed will be safe...

"It is she..."

I snapped my eyes open again. "Hello?" I called frantically, spinning to find the source of this voice. it seemed to come from somewhere, but my mind was crowded with thoughts. "Please! Help me!" I cried.

"The uniter will break the link..." The voice spoke, and the hairs on the back of my neck rose instantly. The fire was inches away now.

Two voices seemed to engulf my mind in some kind of silent argument.

Call for help! They could save you! one spoke

No! If you are rescued you will kill Ed! You are a danger! The other called.

Save yourself!

Save Ed!

The voices filled my mind and i screamed louder, the flames now upon myself and burning into my fake-flesh. "Save me! I don't want to die!"

I awoke.

I sat up in my bed, drawing the covers up to my chest and shaking in cold sweat. I bit my lip to keep it from quivering, and closed my eyes. But every time i closed my eyes... there was fire... and i was afraid. I opened my eyes and stared blankly at the wall, deep into thought. What have i done? I thought. What would i have done? What will be done? How am i supposed to phrase this? i thought in my head. If that had been real, i wasn't thinking about saving Ed, i was thinking about saving myself... If that had been real... i should have died! I need to accept death! I need to get away from Ed! These thoughts filled my mind and i angrilly tried to shut them all out.

"Kati?" A voice called outside my room. I stared at the door and recognized Ed's voice. I still had goosebumps running up and down my arms and legs, and i was sweating, though i pushed the blankets aside and landed on the ground in bare feet. I walked across the room, which was a challenge because of my shaky legs. I didn't even know i could have dreams or nightmares... I thought, thinking it was somewhat odd. I calmed myself down, forcing myself to take a few deep breaths, and then i opened the door. Ed stood before me with blue pajamas. They were really only sweat pants and a t-shirt, but i still call them pajamas. I wore sweats and a t-shirt as well, which is what i like wearing every night.

"Hey Ed." I said, forcing myself into a welcoming smile.

He didn't seem to buy it. "What's wrong? I heard you scream..."

I screamed outside my dream? i don't think so... if i had, everyone else would be awake too.

I cocked my head. "You sure? everyone else is sleeping."

"I swore i heard you scream." He said, with a serious face.

I put away my forced smile and leaned my head against the wall. "I just had the worst nightmare." I said.

"Really? Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yeah." I lied. "I'm fine."

He looked at me oddly, as if he was trying to figure out if i was telling the truth or not. I sighed, and held my blue eyes to his. It was scary how similar our eyes were... It was like we were looking into a mirror, if you excused the bodies of course. We were the same height, so I didnt have to look down or up at him. He might already be suspicious of me.

"Have... Have you ever felt like... gosh i can't explain this..." I mumbled.

"Like what?" He asked, urging me on.

"Like... You have a decision to make, but your forced to chose the one you don't want to take?"

"Why? Were you forced to join us? Don't you want to be in the dojo?" He asked me worriedly.

I smiled. "Of course i do! This is my family now. I'm not talking about that. But have you ever felt that way?"

To my surprise, he nodded. "Want to hear a story?" He said, motioning to the seats in my room.

"Sure." I said, walking to the chairs around a table. The clock read 3:32 AM, but i was wide awake. I sat down, and leaned back and he sat across from me.

"It wasn't that long ago, that i was being controlled with my actions. You see... Ol' Skool told you before that i'm not human. I'm a creation." He started, and i nodded. "There are these... missing parts of me that we have been looking for. We need those to make myself more powerful to stop Bedlam. But, if we take the items in the wrong order or wrong time, bad things could happen. Really bad things. There was an item that was trying to connect into me that i couldn't control. Without me wanting to, i started snapping at my friends, being really mean, and i'd be really rough. I didnt want to do those things, I really didnt. But soon, this item made me lose control of myself entirely, and i began to rage. Bedlam found a way to use it at an advantage against me, and used it to capture me. He wanted to take my DNA, and use it for himself. But my team came in and rescued me. Like i said before, your team will always be there for you, even when you do bad things."

Can i really believe they would help me?

"Wow..." Was all i could say. "Thats... That must have been scary."

"It was, but now it made me realize i have a team that loves me, even though i'm not human, or if i almost killed them." Ed said with a nod. "So how come your worried about decisions you cant make yourself?"

"It's really hard to explain..." I started awkwardly, turning my gaze away from his. I stared at the floor, tracing the designs on the carpet with my eyes that lead in circles and lines. The designs have all these turns and twists, but they always end in beauty. Any of my decisions end with a hurting fire that destroys beauty.

I felt a hand on my shoulder, and i looked up to see that he had rose from his chair and walked around the table to stand in front of me. "You don't have to tell me. Just remember, no matter what happens, the team will always have your back. I'll always have your back." He said with a smile.

I smiled back at him, hope filling my chest with his family-like love towards me, like i was a sister that needed help. I did not see the love that one would find in attraction to another, no, this one was much more powerful, an everlasting bond that any family could cherish.

Ed was my brohter.

And i loved him.

I've been in this outside world of the dojo before, like when i crossed a school yard. Love is a strong passionate word that is over-used and common. And now people can only think love means a boy and girl loving each other, and also a mother and father loving their children. Can boys and girls love each other without the way of dating, or becoming boyfriend and girlfriend? of course they can, but they chose not to. People take it so seriously now. No one really loves another the way a family would. The way i love Ed.

"Thank you." I said quietly to him, meaning my thanks deeply.

"Any time." He said, patting my shoulder. "I'm going to go to bed, do you need anything else?" He asked.

"No, thank you though." I said.

He nodded. He said goodnight and began to close the door behind him.

"Wait.. Ed..." I said.

He stopped, and looked up.

"Thank you so much, for talking with me... and seeing if i was alright... I mean..."

He smiled and waved his hand for me to not explain any more. "Your welcome, Kati." He said simply. The words were so few, yet their meaning meant a thousand words to myself. I smiled one last time as he closed the door behind him.

And then i wept.

I fell onto the floor on my knees and held my head in my hands to let my tears fall freely. I muffled the noise of my crying so i would not wake anyone else. I can't kill Ed! I can't! I've failed you, Bedlam, I've failed you father. I've failed you... I've failed you... I sat, cradling myself in my arms with my back against the wall. My cheeks were wet with tears.

You have not failed me yet... A voice spoke in my ear.

I sat up. No! I will fail you even when you tell me not to! I'm not going to kill Ed! He is my friend, my teamate... my brother...

I knew what i had to do.

I stood, not even trying to stop myself from crying. I crossed the room and made my way to the door, and opened it easily. I looked up and down the hallways, glad to see it empty. This must be done alone. I walked down the hallways to the lounge area. I opened the front door, and turned my head, taking one last look at the dojo. I smiled amist my tears, and shut the door slowly. I began to make my way down the street, walking to a tall street above the ground. I walked for a while, maybe 15 minutes, until I reached a street where it was less crowded with cars. I stood on the edge of the street, looking down at the ground. I gulped, but my eyes were determined.

"For Ed..."


Uh oh! Cliff hanger X3 can you guess what happens next? i suppose all of you could. This was a touching scene to make, and Kati's thoughts about love is my own mirrored thoughts. I do think love is a word overly used, and that boys and girls should love each other without thinking about dating or boyfriend and girlfriend. I'm a girl and I can love boys at school without being In love that way. Actually i could.. but i hate all the boys at my school. except the only one that's actually nice to me, my boyfriend XD okay, call me a hypocrite if you like, but if there were boys that didn't bully me or be really mean to people at school i would love them.

Oyes, i am evil :D suffer Kati, SUFFER!

I just realized how ironic "cliff hanger" means here XDDDD! tell me if you get that joke. i dont want to be alone on this. lol.
