Notes: Thanks to my reviewers ^_^. Carley – It's not
very angsty, but it's not due to be just yet.
C Kahran – I'm glad you like my fic :)
"I don't have a heart." The words sting something within me as they
pass your lips. I blink back the tears as I watch you leave the room. It
shouldn't hurt this much to hear you say that, yet it is simply making me more
determined to find out if it is true.
I will not, cannot, wish until I know for sure. There
must be something resembling feelings within you; I've just partially witnessed
it.
"Dammit, why did I reach up and take your
hand?" I curse myself and lay back down, knowing you can't leave here.
I hate this weak body. If I didn't know that I would break I would be kicking a
wall or something. I'm absolutely infuriated with myself. I can't let anyone
get close to me, and I can't let myself show any weakness towards people.
I have to somehow get Eike to use his wish foolishly.
I can't stay here, and I can't leave either. Curse him for finding the stone.
Being locked within that stone forever would have been a better fate than this.
I do have to give him a little credit; the summoning process is long and
complicated, and he managed to complete it himself. Considering his past
display of intelligence, he's done well.
I sigh. "I suppose I'm stuck here for now. Well, Eike
had better get used to having me around. Maybe I'll end up driving him mad
enough for him to just wish me away." I smirk, as Eike
has no idea what he's unleashed. I can be his worst nightmare if I so wish.
...Or his greatest dream.
I cover my eyes with my arm; I am tired yet sleep eludes me, Homunculus playing
on my mind. I'm not comfortable with sleeping in this situation. I gave him
life again, and I know he could quite easily destroy himself. I saw him after
he took Dana from her mother on that cold day; he was exhausted. His body is
only a shell, and if he is to break it...All my work will come to nothing.
I stand up wearily and walk through the door. He is standing against the
opposite wall, his head back and eyes closed. My stomach rumbles, and I groan.
I didn't realise how hungry I actually was. Homunculus opens one of his eyes in
a semi-glare. "Do you wish for some food?"
I'm not getting caught out by him like that. "No, I can get that for
myself." I look at his thin body. "Do you want anything?"
He closes his eye. "I don't require food for energy."
I roll my eyes. "I didn't ask if you require any, just if you want
some."
"No."
"Fair enough." I shrug dismissively and walk
through to the kitchen.
I listen to his footsteps as he leaves the room. My lips curl into a small
smirk as I set forth the first part of my mission. I hear him returning, and revert my expression back to emotionless.
"Homunculus!!"
I open one eye. "Yes?"
"Take the couch off the ceiling, and put it back on the floor where it
was." Eike hissed the words out through his
teeth.
I open the other eye. "Do you wish me to?"
"I'm telling you to, dammit. I'm not
wasting my wish."
I roll my eyes and lower the couch down, upon which Eike
promptly flops onto. This may be tougher than I thought.
