-----Chapter 2:Kathy gone and to never return-----
"Ed do you think?" the armor man said.
"Yeah Al, the Philospher Stone." Ed said while taking the stone from Roy.
"Philospher Stone?" Kathy questioned. Ashley and Kathy where staring at each other, wide eyed.
"But Kathy just found it in the river." Ashley interagated. Ashley grabbed the stone and held it up to the light. It was small, and then to Ashley's surprise it looked like a red crystel. Ashley adored crystels, every single color, except crimson.
"Well a Philosper is made of first liquad, then if ths river is dense enough it can transform into a stone." Ed explained.
"Why dont you ask Ashley if it was dense or not, she fell in it." Kathy said while pointing to Ashley. Ashley's face was full of steam.
"THATS BECAUSE YOU PUSHED ME IN!" Ashley yelled at the top of her lungs.
"Calm down." Roy said. Al grabbed the Philospher Stone. Then handed it to Ed.
"Brother? What if its fake?" Al asked.
"I dont know what we will do next then Al. But what if its real. We-"
"WE CAN GET ARE BODIES BACK!" Al yelled with excite ment. Ashley and Kathy stared at each other with confusion.
Bodies back? They both thought.
"Well then you guys can keep the stone, we are just going to go to nothern headquarter to visit father." Kathy said while walking away. Ashley followed Kathy out of Roy's office and up to the top of the stairs witch led down stairs.
"What are you doing?" Ashley asked, practtily demanding.
"Going on the next train to visit father." Kathy said like Ashley's question was really stupid.
"Dont do that! Come on mother dosent expect us to come back home for another two months, we can pretend to visit father, but hang out with them insted."
"No!"
"Yes!"
"You can stay here but im going to visit father." She walked down stairs. Ashley folded her arms together agaisnt her chest.
"She'll be back." Ashley said in a snotty way. Ashley walked inside of the office. Ed and Al sat down on the couch and stared at the stone,
"They where so fasinated with some lame stone." Ashley wispheared.
It was an hour later and Ed and Al where still looking at the stone. While Roy was doing paper work. And Kathy still wasnt back. Ashley started to worry.
"So arnt you guys going to get your bodies back?" Ashley asked them.
"Well we dont know if its fake or not." Ed said.
"And if it is fake then somthing wrong would happen to me." Al explained. Ashley looked puzzled. She sat down on the couch with Ed and Al. She let out a huge sigh and took out a locket.
"Whats that?" Al questioned to Ashley. Ashley had no time to answered any one's questions. She twirled the locket and through it up in the air. Of course she has a horrible catch, it landed to the floor and popped open. Roy grabbed the opened locket. It had a picture of Ashley and Kathy going fishing. Kathy was in the middle of catching a tough fish that she couldnt pull up so Ashley stepped in and pulled on the fishing rod too. And thats when thier mother took the picture.
"The fish was a trout." Ashly explained. She started to have tears flow down her eyes. Ashley wipped her eyes witch made her face a light pink.
"Whats wrong?" Everyone asked me.
"Kathy," Ashley said while sobbing, trying hard not to studder, "She left and she is never coming back." Ashley tryed to calm down but she couldnt the sound of her sister never coming back made her cry even more.
"It okay." Ed said to calm me down.
"No, brother." Al said while he placed his cold metal arm on Ed's shoulder, "What if I went missing? You wont be calm about it."
"Of course not."
"Then dont tell her to calm down."
"No Al, its okay." Ashley said while wipping her eyes once more. Ashley walked out and went out side of Central, "I should go back on the train. But I want to hang out with them."
"Do you have a smoke?" some one asked Ashley. She swiftly turned around. When she did a ran drop hit her nose and rolled down her face. Every single year thier mother would give them 5 packets of smokes because in Central smokes cost like 10 yen while in Ashley and Kathy's home town it cost 3 yen. Big difference. Ashley reached into her pocket and pulled out a whole packet of smokes. She opened it and handed one to the man with out staring at him.Then she grabbed one for her self.
"The only way to get rid of pain is to face it right in the face. Then kill it!" Ashley said. The man handed her the lighter. She let the smoke and placed it in her mouth.
"My name is Havoc." the man said. Ashley looked at him to get a clear look of him. He had brown hair highlighted with blond. Havoc had brown eyes that looked just like Ashley's and Kathy's. Ashley looked up at the rain and got hr face wet so know one could find out witch was tears and witch was rain.
"Ashley?" a voice asked Ashley. She turned back to look at the gate. There in the mist was a faded figure. It was Kathy.
"Kathy!" Ashley asked the figure.
"Your smoking?" But to Ashley's suprise it wasnt her sister. Ashley quickly took out the smoke and threw it down to the ground. It wasnt Kathy, it was Margret, a woman with dark brown curly hair witch was now stright from the rain, Margret's eyes where teary too. Ashley didnt know if it was the rain or the tears, let just put it this way, Margret is Ashley's mother.
