New chapter!
3B6: Still not in it*Emo corner*
And Happy Holidays!
3B6: Do you care about me at ALL?
Yes. If I didn't I wouldn't have made you.
Blaze: Please review!
Psy muttered the short chant under her breath, careful not to wake anyone.
"Mind, body, soul. Connecting these are dreams. I request to see the dreams of Envy. "
Psy wasn't used to doing Dream Stare, as she only did it once before. However, she did enjoy doing it; she could see colors, something her Geno abilities couldn't do.
Her telepathic abilities were dim for a few second, submerging her in a world a black. Then she saw his dreams. However, they weren't dreams, but a series of images.
A symbol of a snake eating its tail carved in blood
Red stones in the middle of a circle with strange lines on it.
A human with golden hair. A feeling of bloodlust came with this image.
And dead humans. Lots of dead humans.
These images disturbed Psy, so she withdraw her Dream Stare as quickly as possible, and decided not to tell anyone. He didn't seem to be a human spy. But still, the images were strange…
~Time Skip, Blaze's POV~
I woke up to being poked in the side by a bird-cat. Not exactly how I enjoy starting my day. After being poked eleven more times I sat up and cuffed Falcon with my paw. So then Falcon gave me "Kitten eyes". So I cuffed him again and walked over to Envy.
He hadn't woken up, but his skin was flaking. I took that as a good sign, but wasn't exactly sure. Rhea had showed me how to treat various minor wounds, but she hadn't covered burns due to my immunity toward them. I reapplied the medicine, and decided to join Psy and Falcon in their egg feast.
~Envy's POV~
I couldn't feel anything except a dull throb in my legs and left shoulder. I'd been knocked out twice now, but coming to when I was at the camp was different since I woke up quickly. Right now I could only hear what was going on around me, because I didn't have enough strength left to open my eyes. I decided to wait for my strength to return, so I contented myself my listening to snippets of conversation.
"So you haven't found her yet?" Blaze inquired.
"Nope, not yet. I've been looking for her presence and asking the others, but haven't found her yet." This was another cat's voice, but I didn't know whose.
"Have you asked Charge? He's the one who travels the most." Charge? Was that another Geno?
"I asked him about a week ago. He hasn't seen any other Genos, either." That was Strange Cat again.
"I'm surprised the dogs the Germans have haven't found you. I know you're hard to find, but you've been here a while."
After a while this got boring, so I thought about other things. Like why the hell I was a cat. There weren't many valid reasons about how I happened to be one, but I did hear that you needed a toll to go through the Gate. Maybe this was my toll? To come here wanting blood, but in a form where killing was near-impossible. It would certainly make sense.
Which means there's no way out of this form, so basically I couldn't do what I came here for; killing Hoenheim. Just wonderful.
~Blaze's POV~
Psy casually flicked her ear in Envy's direction.
"I think your friend's awake. His energy readings aren't too high, but enough for him to be conscious."
Conscious already? I didn't know much about burns, but for most cats it would take at least a week to wake up. Maybe his power was increased healing?
~Envy's POV~
I heard footsteps coming toward me; a body plunk down, and start to purr.
"So you're awake. That's great!" Blaze. Had she been watching me the whole time? Wonderful. The one person (ironic, but true) whom I know turns out to be a stalker.
"Hello? Envy? Can you speak?" Not yet, you crazy stalker!
"Ennnnvvvvvyyyy. Wake uuuuuppppp." She said, poking me. I growled. It sounded more like a grunt, but she did hear it.
"You're up!" If I was really up, I would be trying to kill you for annoying me. And stop poking me, for crying out loud!
After a few minutes she stopped the barrage of pokes. Probably because Other Cat told her to knock it off. I'm starting to like Other Cat.
"Blaze, stop looking over him like that. He won't get up for several hours, and when he does, he won't be entertained by the fact your face is a foot away. And besides, we're low on water." Wait, Blaze was staring at me? Wonderful.
Other Cat muttered something about some water several blocks away, and I faintly heard them walking away.
I quickly got bored, and decided to formulate a game called "Kill the bastard who abandoned me". I was on #53(slather meat juice on Hoenheim and stick him in a cage with hungry Briggs bears), and assumed several hours had passed when they returned. By that time, I had regained a small portion of strength, enough to open my eyes and attempt to walk for a few yards, but not daring to leave the alley. From what I could tell, it was five in the afternoon when they came back, each panting slightly. It seemed Other Cat had black fur and permanently closed eyes. Was she blind?
"You think we lost them?" Blaze inquired
"Yeah, we did. They think we disappeared on the other side of town, from where they currently are." How the heck did Other Cat know what was going on around the other side of the town?
"Psy, when do you think Falcon's going to be back from hiding the water bottles we stole?" So Other Cat's name is Psy?
"About ten minutes. He's around halfway there. Oh, and Envy's awake." Okay, now I'm confused. I thought Psy was blind!
Blaze trotted over to me, purring. "You're awake! Sorry we took so long, some Stormtroopers found us and we had to lead them in a different direction."
"Stormtroopers?" I didn't know what a Stormtrooper was. It certainly didn't exist in Amerstris.
"A soldier. I would have figured you'd know at least that. Do you honestly know anything?"
"Falcon's here." It was Psy speaking this time.
Suddenly, something cat-sized jumped off the nearby roof of the alley. It was…a cat? It certainly didn't look like one. It was covered in feathers, and its front leg position reminded me of a bat's posture when grounded. And did I mention the wings?
Blaze looked at my surprised expression. "Oh, you haven't met Falcon? Granted, not many have. Psy never lets you see her unless she wants to be seen."
Falcon looked at the small cardboard box a few yards away. "Eggs?" His voice was quiet and low.
Psy nodded. "Sure. Just don't eat too many. On that note, do you two want any?" I muttered a yes, while Blaze purred and started licking her paws. It seemed eating eggs involved bashing your paw (claws extended) onto the pearly surface of an egg. It took a while to perfect, so as a result, most of it splattered on the ground, and I had to lick it up. The whole process took about an hour, and by that time it was getting dark.
I curled up and tried to sleep, along with Blaze, Psy and Falcon. However, once I was about to sleep, Psy suddenly stood up.
"The Nazis are coming."
~3rd cat/person/Geno/whatever POV~
4F8 muttered to his sister 4F9 to stay awake. He didn't want her drifting off to sleep. To sleep means you were venerable. And if you were a venerable Geno, you were pretty much dead. However, 4F9 didn't share his point of view. In fact, she was surprised he barely needed to sleep, and when he did, he was still half-awake.
However, 4F9 was sleeping, much to his annoyance. Prodding her golden pelt had a good chance of making her annoyed, and then she would just go back to sleep on the earthen forest ground. At least the clearing in the forest they were temporarily staying at had a clear view of the stars. They looked so much better out there. Whole constellations were lost to the cities due to light pollution.
He could recognize almost all the constellations, and loved seeing them move across the sky. Sometimes they spelled letters, words, or pictures. He hoped that that wasn't his Geno ability. It seemed rather stupid, but if it was, his sister's might be something even more idiotic. Whatever his power was, he wanted it to be strong, hopefully stronger than his sister. He smiled, and then started grooming his silky black and grey coat under the stars.
4F8: I'm in before 3B6! Ha!
3B6: *Still in Emo corner*
A new Geno's in the next chapter! Yay!
3B6: Me?
Nope. Oh, and I'm going to my relatives' house for the holidays(about a week) the day after Christmas. So don't expect an update for about a week and a half.
3B6: Will I EVER get included in this story?
Yes, but not right now. Maybe in about five chapters.
3B6: *Deathglare*
And in case you didn't notice, foreshadowing is used in this chapter! And my kitty looks cute under the tree!
Envy: You have issues.
I have a lot of issues! Which ones are you talking about?
Envy: Short attention span and Hughes syndrome.
Blaze: Hughes syndrome?
Envy: Obsession over something.
Blaze: Ah.
Please Review!
