(Raeka's POV)
"Hey, Raeka, wake up!"
"Uhg…"
I woke up to the smell of burning meat of some kind. They must have found food. It was truly nice of them to bring me along.
I got up and walked over to the small fire. Kailani smiled and handed me some food. "We found some fish and lettuce from an abandoned hut deeper in the forest. Eat up!"
I smiled and nodded. The food was good.
Later we got on the move again. Kailani told me of her old town and her parents, she seemed to miss them very little though. Maybe it's because she's like me and cannot believe everyone she knew is now dead, so their still easy to talk about. Ed kept quite. I had the feeling he did that often unless there was an argument.
We got lost around the edge of the forest, or at least we hoped it was the edge of the forest. Ed said if that old hag could have gotten through, then we could too. Hopefully he was right.
"Ugh, we've been walking for hours!" Kailani whined, still walking fine just like nothing was wrong.
"But Kailani, you don't look like you're tired." I said with a smile.
"I'm not tired; I'm just tired of doing the same thing for hours. This is boring." She replied.
"We need to keep going. Do you want them to catch us?" Ed said, looking back at her with a frustrated expression. He looked like he was bored of walking too.
"No, not really." Kailani whispered to herself with a pout.
"I've got it!" Al exclaimed. "We can all tell scary stories!"
"Scary… Stories?" Kailani whispered a look of fear plastered on her face.
"What? Are you scared of a little story telling?" Ed taunted, starting to walk slower so he could join them. (He was walking ahead before next to his dad)
"No!" Kailani insisted, now a look of red fury. I thought it was very cruel of Ed to do that.
"Okay then, who will go first?"
"I will!" said Mr. Elric suddenly.
"Ieh!" screamed Kailani, who was already freaked out.
"Okay, so it was a bright and shiny day. And…"
"That's not scary!" Kailani said.
"Okay then, it was a dark and stormy night. And when you moved or looked around, the shadows looked like people trying to get at you and steel you away to their dark caverns under the earth where they ate…"
"Ate what?" Kailani shakily asked.
"Little girls!" Mr. Elric whispered spookily. I felt Kailani shiver next to me.
"Eep!" she let out, and covered her mouth.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
(Kailani's POV)
How can Raeka just stand there so calmly? This is scary already!
"So there was a group of people out in the forest, two girls, and three young men. They were all walking when…" he trailed off, leaving a dramatic silence.
"When what?" I whispered.
"When… BOO!" he turned, putting his arms up in the air and yelled in our faces.
"AHHHHHH!" I shrieked, clutching on to Ed.
Everyone started to laugh, but Ed. He squeezed me a little and I looked up. He was scared too. I immediately let go of him.
"Ha! You were scared too!" I exclaimed triumphantly, pointing accusingly at him.
A hesitation.
"No I wasn't!"
"Yes you were Edward Elric!"
I heard sighs coming from Raeka and Al but I didn't care.
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"Noooooo!"
Soon everyone was walking in front of us and telling stories among themselves. Me and Ed bickered for about 30 min. before he stopped walking all of the sudden. He was just starring at me and then he smiled.
"What are you laughing at mister?" I snapped, hands on hips.
"It's just your so cute when your angry." he said, and then he walked up to me.
My whole posture changed. My hands were now by my sides and I was starring off into space. Cute? I put my hands on my cheeks. My face was hot. My eyes widened.
He smiled even wider and brushed the stray hair out of my face. I smiled back and he just stood there, looking at me.
"You're just so cute. It makes me happy." he whispered. Then he blushed and took his hand away from my face. I laughed.
"Lets get back to the others…" He stammered and walked past me.
The world spun. What was happening? I started to stagger my way back to the group. Raeka came back and walked with me.
"What's the matter?" she said, starring at my red face and my shaking legs.
"I don't know, but I think it's something good." I replied slowly, drinking in the words I just said. Did I really say that? Raeka smiled and gave me a hug.
"It will get confusing, but you'll have fun." She murmured just above a whisper. What did she mean by that?
She let go and we caught up with the others. I caught Ed looking at me. I smiled and waved and he smiled back.
What is going on?
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
(Raeka's POV)
I watched as Ed looked at Kailani and Kailani respond. I caught Al watching too. He smiled and I motioned to his blushing brother and glowing Kailani. He smiled wider and I giggled.
It seemed no one was listening to Mr. Elric's story anymore but he just kept going, pretending he didn't know what was going on to save them all an awkward silence.
Al started to walk closer to me.
"This is ironic. They were fighting two minutes ago." He whispered in my ear.
"That's how love works, I guess." I whispered back, taking another glance at Kailani.
"Do you really this it's love?" He questioned, looking at me worried.
"It could be." I replied wonderingly.
"It wouldn't be good for either of them though. It's the greatest war on earth that's going on now. Anything could happen." Al was very worried.
"That's what makes this so special." I whispered passionately.
"But what happens if…"
"Don't jinx it!" I teased, pushing him a little. He pushed back, and I stuck my tongue out at him. Then he grabbed my hand. Everything that happened in my old town, before it got bombed, rushed into my mind. I let go of his hand. I won't let that happen again.
Al looked at me. He was hurt, but I only looked at the ground.
He looked at the ground too.
"Look!" boomed Mr. Elric. "Light!"
They made it!
"Yes!" I yelled and started to run. Al caught up and soon everyone was running. But as soon as I made it out I wished I didn't. It was another town to search.
What will we find here?
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Soooooo! What do you think? Too mushy? Cute? What couples are you thinking of now? I really want to know! Thanks for reviewing!
