Chapter 4: Because I'll Die if You Do
Comments: Ya'll better be grateful I'm posting this because not only am I sunburned horrible from my little excursion to the lake but I also have a Laffy Taffy which spells out SUGAR HIGH! Forgive me if I do not make sense in these author's notes. Thankfully, I wrote this chapter last night. XD
Mood Song: Mother Earth by Within Temptation
An angel's voice is calling out for me through the deep. But I don't want to move. It feels so good to be floating here, in this peaceful limbo.
The angel is shouting now. Jarring my mind with its piercing cries.
Stop, angel. Allow me to sleep; I feel so tired. I feel my body being lifted and dragged.
The angel's hands feel warm and cold at the same time. How can that be? My head is knocked against something smooth and frigid.
The angel's fingers are at my lips, prying my mouth open.
What is he doing? Why is he sticking his finger down my throat? Is he trying to reach my soul? Why?
My soul is black, darkened with evil. No, benevolent angel. I cannot allow your beautiful hands touch upon a soul this distraught! I'm gagging as his finger brushes against the back of my throat.
I throw up.
My head is pounding as my vision slowly begins to return. I'm sitting on my bathroom floor in front of the toilet. The angel has disappeared to be replaced by a even more beautiful apparition: a human.
Edward Elric kneels in front of me, his amber eyes worried and brimming with unshed tears. I hear a pitiful keening sound escape from my chest.
"Oh Roy," Ed whispers, enveloping me in his arms.
I cling to his waist, my head pressed against his stomach. And bawl like a baby.
