Where is my Mind? #10
I only own my OCs,
Leave reviews. Pretty please?
Castle in the Clouds: Well, honestly, it's only going to be there for when they really can't figure something out. Kit will be really adamant about that, because even though she can't really remember much about the series she is aware that her notebook being at the brothers disposal counts as cheating. Thank you. I'm so pleased that she's giving off the vibes I want her too. Yes, Kit is the shiny new toy, a freak among outcasts and their little group loves her for it.
Side note, not related to anything, Kit's hair is similar to Charlie XCX. So while it's slightly curly, it's not insane and it's manageable.
-Edward's POV-
He awoke mid morning and changed into his normal outfit. Kit was still asleep. He didn't plan on waking her up yet. The train they were taking didn't leave until later so there was no point.
"Oh, Good morning Brother" Alphonse said when he realized Ed was awake. Both brothers had been looking at the sleeping redhead. She seemed so... different from anyone they had ever met, and they had met a lot of people. Yet she fit with them so well. It was almost unnerving.
"Morning Al." He responded as he turned away from her. Then he asked, "Do we have everything together for later?"
"Yes but Brother? I was thinking, maybe we should get a few things for Kit before we board the train." Al suggested. It wasn't a terrible idea. Though Al usually had some pretty good ideas.
"Alright sure. But as soon as she's up we should make her eat first. She was too spacey to even notice the food yesterday. That worries me."
"Oh? You haven't even known her a week and you're worried about her eating habits. My, my, Brother it almost sounds like you care about her." Al teased.
"I just don't want her to slow us down because she's hungry!" Edward snapped at his little brother. He wasn't completely sure what was being insinuated but he was sure it wasn't true.
"Would you two shut up? I'm trying to sleep."
-Kit's POV-
"Would you two shut up? I'm trying to sleep." She growled loudly shifting in bed to look at the brothers. Her eyes were fixed in a tired glare, the periwinkle appearing to be a dark mauve.
The two cowered before her at her sudden growl and nodded, promising to be much quieter.
She sighed and attempted to get comfortable. It had been difficult to sleep during the night. Her dream seemed to be the memory of Wrath and Greed on repeat with rather obnoxious music playing as background noise.
But it was no use. Sleep wouldn't come. So she sat up. On the foot of her bed was the bag of clothes she had been found in and well as her backpack with her now clean undergarments sitting on it. Bringing the items closer to her she pulled her shoes from the one bag and opened her backpack, tucking the other bag and her undergarments inside before pushing the blankets off her.
Swinging her legs over the side of the bed she pulled her black booties on and reached into her bag. Taking out the jewelry she put on the necklace before sliding the ring onto her right middle finger. Then she closed the bag and turned to the brothers. They were staring at her.
"Morning gentlemen." She smiled.
Later the boys took Kit to get some things. Mostly that entailed a couple plain shirts, pants, a coat and a lot of sweets. Before going and meeting Winry at the train station the Elrics made her eat and tried to get her more things but she insisted that she was fine with what she had and informed them that they were behaving oddly.
Then it was finally time to go. Boarding the train, the four teenagers sat together with Ed and Kit on one bench and Al and Winry on the one across from them. As the train left the station, Kit pulled out her notebook filled with information on everything around her. Tuning out the people around her she read the notebook. It took a couple hours to finish but when she did she went back to re-read something that sounded like it was happening in Central right around then.
'Envy morphs to the form of Hughes' wife and fatally shoots him. As Hughes bleeds to death in the phone booth, Roy is patched through and senses something is amiss when Maes does not answer from the other end. On the train, Winry shares an apple pie that Mrs. Hughes had baked for them and the Elric boys reminisce about how much help Hughes has been to them, resolving to thank him upon their return to the capital.'
Looking up, Kit saw that Winry was sharing pie while Edward talked about Hughes. Her eyes widened and she looked at the page again. Closing the book quickly she put it away, her eyes filling with tears.
"Kit? What's the matter?" Alphonse asked. Winry and Edward turned there attention to Kit was well. She was shaking, tears clung to her eyelashes as they rolled down her cheeks, she had brought her right hand up over her mouth as if she felt sick. To be honest she did feel sick. Her heart had broke when she first met Hughes and this was probably why.
Edward, who had finished his slice of pie laid his left hand on her right shoulder and slowly ran it down her back. It was meant to be a comforting motion. But it didn't made her feel better.
"Kit?" Winry asked worriedly.
She just sat there and cried. She was honestly confused. Yes Hughes was being murdered. But she barely knew him. Why was this affecting her so much? Her confusion made her cry harder. Turning, she buried her face in Edward's chest. The boy stiffened up for a moment but he held her and rubbed her back comfortingly.
-Edward's POV-
He continued to rub Kit's back slowly until she fell asleep on him.
"What do you think upset her?" He asked Al and Winry, looking down at the girl in his arms. From how close she was he could smell her shampoo. Mixed berries with a hint a vanilla filled his nose. It was a fairly enjoyable aroma.
"No idea." Winry shrugged.
"Maybe something in her book?" Alphonse suggested.
"Maybe." Edward agreed and, using a gloved hand he dried her face.
"Awww Ed, look at you taking care of her." Winry mused like he and Kit were just the cutest thing there. He grumbled quietly, trying not to wake Kit.
-Kit's POV-
She awoke feeling refreshed when the train came to a stop in Rush Valley. Though when they exited the train, walking into the dry heat, she felt like beating Winry with her own wrench. While the boys were dragged around by the automail obsessed blonde something else caught Kit's attention and she walked to it.
It was a girl. A pale girl that stood at about five foot five with dark blue hair, hazel eyes, a silver septum piercing. She wore a charcoal tank top that said 'I Have No Special Talent. I Am Only Passionately Curious.' on the front with a pair of black short shorts and a platinum and silver chain-mail choker with five dark red stones. She looked so familiar.
"Kitty Kat!" The girl shouted as she noticed Kit.
Upon hearing what the girl called her, it came back to her. That was her very best friend, Roxanne LaCroix. Roxi was responsible for introducing Kit to Fullmetal Alchemist.
"Roxi!" Kit yelled and the two ran at each other, locking their arms around the other.
"How did you get here?" They asked in unison. Then they laughed and Roxi gave Kit a look that said 'I asked first'. And rather than argue she told her friend what she knew. Roxi appeared in awe by the end.
"Your turn."
"Right... My stories not as exciting. I was at your place, waiting for you to get your ass up. Well a package literally appeared on the table next to where I was sitting in your living room. It just said; 'To Kitty, Love T' you know me Kitty Kat, my curiosity got the better of me. So I open it and there's this note. 'Enjoy the trip.' again signed T. And under the note was this." Roxi said motioning to the choker. Then she proceeded. "I don't know what happened but before I could stop myself, I was putting it on and then I was here."
"T? Oh my god damn gate. Truth has no creativity... Where have you been staying?"
"I'll show you. come on." Roxi grinned and lead the way.
"Roxi... Did you cry last night too?" Kit asked quietly.
"Why?"
"Hughes' murder was last night..."
"Oh... no... You met him before it happened though. What was he like?"
"He was really nice. He kidnapped Winry right in front of me. He was constantly emitting the I'm-everyone's-dad vibe too." The girls laughed softly and the rest of the walk was in silence.
The place they went to was a house deep in the mountains.
"I'm back!" Roxi called as we went inside. A very pregnant pale woman with short brown hair and almost gray eyes came out to meet them.
"Welcome back Roxi. Oh who's this?"
"Satella, this is my friend Kit."
"Nice to meet you Kit."
"You too Satella." Kit smiled politely. Roxi then introduced Kit to Satella's husband Ridel. He was tall with black hair and grayish eyes. Then she got introduced to Ridel's father Dominic, who was a tall, muscled, angry looking man with a dark complexion, gray hair and dark eyes. Roxi then told Kit that Ridel and his Father worked with automail.
