GRAMMER'S NOTES: NO SPEEL CHECK!
Teh Queen: zomygosh. I actually got reviews. Although, this is a fast moving fic, so if I am, I won't be able to entertain you for long, I'm sorry.
Teh Slave: Entertain? You? Never. It's called pity.
Teh Queen: Oh look, the slave is talking about pity, how cute.
Travel continued. They passed over the boarder in Polish hands, thankfully carried in the same style they were through Germany. With each passing day, Fel and Ed grew closer, acting more casual, and talking about the friendliest of subjects.
"Hear my knuckles crack? I haven't been able to have milk in ages, I'm having withdrawals, aren't you?" Fel said her knuckles cracking one by one.
"How can you? I hate the stuff." Ed wrinkled his nose at the thought of milk.
"That can't be healthy for you Ed, no wonder you're a little below height standards." Fel said snidely, giggling slightly. Ed turned from the car window glaring at her so fast he hurt his neck.
"Oh, now see what you made me do!" Ed mumbled rubbing the back of his neck, Fel was in a silent fit of giggles, knowing how much Ed hated being called short.
"I haven't had so much fun in a long time you know Ed? I'm glad we took this trip, I've almost forgotten about the presentation we have when we get to Moscow." Fel said casually composing herself.
"I think I actually feel the same way." Ed replied truthfully. Then again, how could he not have fun around someone so kind, smart and cheerful.
"Think we're just about here kids, last hotel before the Byelorussian boarder, get a good nights rest, be assured of some issues when passing through security tomorrow." The driver said, pulling to a stop outside their hotel.
Like all the other nights they entered the hotel, Ed caring all their luggage 'like a true gentleman' Fel described and approached the desk.
"Mr Oberth has booked us 2 rooms for one night here tonight." Fel asked politely. The man behind the desk checked his giant reservations book.
"Terribly sorry miss, it appears we accidentally double booked one of your rooms, the other tenant had it first, so I'm afraid you will only have one room for tonight, is that an issue?" The balding man said.
It was perfectly fine with Ed, but he didn't want to answer and come off as perverted to Fel.
"Ah, alright then, I think we can manage sharing a room for one night, can't we Ed?" Fel turned to him cheerfully.
"What? I mean, yes, of course." Ed couldn't believe it for a second, although it wasn't such a huge surprise.
Hotel staff helped them carry their luggage up to their room. Although it was quite spacious, there was only one bed, so naturally, Ed opted to be the one to sleep on the sofa. Despite what he felt for Fel, it still seemed indecent for them to share a bed.
Fel disappeared into the bathroom, and Ed kicked off his shoes and hung his coat over a chair before making himself comfortable on the sofa. It was softer and actually more comfortable than he expected. Although trying to not listen, there suddenly came a loud bang from inside the bathroom. Ed instantly went and knocked on the door asking if everything was alright.
"I swear, I'm fine, just slipped and knocked everything off the sink, I'll be out in a second." Fel said, in a fairly unassuming way. She came out looking a bit more bothered than you would have been if you had just accidentally made a mess.
Neither Ed or Fel had been comfortable in their beds for long after wards when something kept hitting at the window.
"People should learn how to prune their trees Ed mumbled getting up again to snap off what he thought was a branch.
"Ed, no!" Fel pleaded loudly, but too late.
Ed pulled open the window, a pile of feathers flooded in. Ed was knocked back by the beast, about the size of a labrador as it was trying to stand. Ed stared at it in shock.
"A-A chimera?" He gasped, quickly flicking his eyes to see a terrified and tearful Fel still sitting in her bed. The feathered dog spread it's wings and made a low growl before pouncing on Ed. Fel made a small squeal as Ed tried to match it's strength, grabbing it's front legs, and trying to roll it onto it's back. The chimera kicked Ed in the stomach with it's hide legs, and Ed fell to the ground winded. Just as he was composing himself, he saw Fel dart across the room, and embraced the chimera.
-What is she doing, I can't let her get hurt-
Ed stood, only to see the chimera vanish from before him, not instantly, but not slowly either, kind of in a blur of light, like it would had you been transmutating it. Fel's shoulders jerked, she was obviously crying, and she seemed wobbly on her feet. Ed walked over and out his hand on her head. She fell into his shoulder and cried some more.
"I'm sorry, I should have told you, I wanted to tell you, if only I hadn't touched it, it's all my fault, I'm so sorry." Fel muttered into Ed's shoulder. Ed just stood there and enjoyed the smell of her hair. He couldn't question her now, not when she was in this state.
Almost like she could read his thoughts, she responded.
"I have to tell you now, we can't travel any further until I tell you, please, come sit with me."
Teh Queen: woooooo, cliff hanger!
Teh Slave: Nnnno, I don't think so, maybe a dodgy shot at one, but it just doesn't have that edge.
Teh Queen: Don't you think I know that already? And frankly, I don't care, mwahahah. So you can shut it, think of it as, 'a public fit of boredom.'
Teh Slave: Let's see what the reviewers call it, I hope they do review, I wanna see.
