MINI CHAP
Ed came out, a little while longer, eyes distant, unseeing. Al asked him what was wrong. Caitlin came out too, breathing quickly like she had just run a race.
"What's wrong, Brother?" Al asked quietly. His line of sight followed Ed as the blonde haired young adult travled the length of the room and sat against the wall. A small notebook was in his hands, but it fell to the carpeted floor and the cover flipped open. inside was a single passage, not to long. Al walked, squatted, and picked it up curiously. It was dated the day before she "disappereared." Reading inside his head, his sight skipped over the words. It looked like she didn't bother with grammar.
"hello again, Edward. it's me, Ruri. of course. i mean, who else would it be? i don't know why i'm writing this, seeing as i'm probably not going to give it to you anytime soon. if you are reading this, however, and i have plucked up the courage to give it to you, you must think I'm a loon or something. ha. yeah... So, I can feel my wings trying to come out... bathroom..."
There was a little gap in the writing, then it continued with a different colored pen.
"i'm better now. -sigh-... ahh, they're so soft... now my eyes are changing colors too... they were actually brown for a moment, i swear... yeah, you must think i'm a total loon now... i can't wait for the competition! hmm, i wonder who i'm up against. and what's up with your rommate, ben? he's really weird... ha! not like i can be talking...
well, the real reason i'm giving this to you (or trying to) is because i'm too shy to tell you in your face. i"
And it cut off. Al felt a deep sympathy for his older brother. "Brother? Brother, where are you?"
Ed was standing on the small balcony for every dorm, looking into the sky. Its was only later that Al realized that the spot Ed was focusing on was the small patch Ruri disappeared into.
