I could feel every muscle move as I bounded away from that place. Envy's panicked face staring at me as I noticed the reflection in his violet eyes. A terrifying white wolf with dripping fangs and yellow eyes. It was enough to scar me into running and I haven't stopped. I have no idea how long I ran, or even where I was going. But wherever it was, was way better that that place.

I think I slowed to a run somewhere in the slums. The air smelled really bad and I could feel my fur matting with sweat. Padding through the streets, I tried to think of how all this happened. Like how changing into a wolf was possible, or how I never knew about it from all the times I almost died before. Before I could talk I felt normal, minus the freakish scars I hide, but normal none the less. Now I was a wolf girl who can't change back, or at least can't figure out how.

wondering was a good way to think, especially when no one was going to bother a giant dog. I had to admit, Envy's face was priceless. He may have needed a new pair of shorts after seeing me change. I gave a dog-ish laugh as I walked. Maybe he'll think twice before fighting me again.

Down another ally and I was by the library. -How on earth did I end up here?- I mentally asked, padding up the steps and into the building of books. I found a space big enough for me to curl into and think for awhile more, but my body begged for sleep instead. So, as my mind wondered I slipped into a fitful sleep filled with wolves and men in lab coats.

My nightmares were interrupted by Ross calling out my name. though in my sleepy fog I forgot that I was a giant wolf, not a little albino girl. I let out a yawn and padded over to the officer who was clearly frightened when she saw me. "A Dog?! I-In the library?" She yelled out, pulling out her pistol and pointing it right at me. Another yawn and I slumped on the floor, gosh was I ever tired. I stretched and found that my joints were stiff. My joints popped and groaned as I continued to stretch them out. I heard Ross gasp as I could feel carpet instead of fur. "Oh hey, I'm not a dog anymore. That's nice." I said from the floor, glancing down at my now clothes-less form. "EEP! A-am I ever glad that Y-You're a female." I laughed, quickly trying to hide myself from view.

Ross had found some spare clothes in the car she drove and handed them to me. "They might be a bit big, but better than the buff. " She said as I pulled on the shirt and shorts. They were indeed big, but comfy though they didn't cover my scars like my jacket and pants. -Wonder what happened to them?- I pondered as I was taken to the hospital. Ed was there with a pissed of Al, which was quite backwards. At least they are alive, I was worried about what those people were planning.

"Hello there! What happened to you guys? I was worried about what that palm tree said, or wouldn't say." I said in greeting as I bounded into the room, no need for them to know I was a dog of some sort. "We found a lead to the philosophers stone, but it blew up in our faces. But what got us was that one of the humonculi kept grumbling about an albino girl changing into a giant dog." Well, it was worth hoping for anyway.

I started with my tailing of scar, then meeting with the palm tree and the other two. Ed was quiet while Al seemed to be elsewhere. "And I was just wondering around like a giant dog thing! When I found myself back at the library I fell asleep and woke up to Ross calling for me. When I went to her my bones grew stiff and started popping. Next thing I know, I'm lying on the floor butt naked with Ross pale as a ghost." I finished, The blonde and the armor both looked stunned. "So he wasn't crazy?" I blinked. "You mean I could have lied and you wouldn't have cared?!"

The day wore on with me questions going unanswered and even worse, Ed and Al are going to meet their master. Leaving me here to look after everyone and make sure everything goes smoothly. yippy.

Did you know, that when you get used to being with people you like to be around leave, everyone who hates you stick out like a sore thumb and you can hear every word they breath? Well, you can and it is getting on my last nerve! I was just walking around, not picking any pockets or bumping into anybody. The butcher, which I swear is my blood enemy, threw a knife at me. Almost got my ear! I dashed out from the plaza and into a more quiet part of town. Yup, the slums, lovely place minus the smell.

Walking seemed to be the only way I could calm down now, though I have no idea why I was so uptight. Till I caught a whiff of a certain palm tree, then I knew trouble was coming. Letting my gut guide me, I ran down a side street and into a window. Through a building and over a wall. A couple miles down and a tree to the face later, I was staring up at that idiotic smirk. "Glade to run into you pup, you're coming with me."

I swiftly clapped my hands together and slammed them on the ground I sat on. Causing a familiar hole to open up, though I closed it up this time around. Didn't want any pursuers in my hole. I quickly dove to the sewers and run like the devil down one of the pipes, though I almost fell into the icky water several times. "You thought you could just up and run? You have no idea what you're dealing with." The snarky voice of Envy echoed from behind me.

"What in the name of lollipops do you want with me?" I said, annoyed with all this chasing and running around. I turned to face the palm tree with my hands on my hips. "Oh, I just want to get back at you. You see, I hate feeling weak. And that's what you made me feel when you changed into that freaking dog!...Wait, did you say lollipops?" And he took my distraction! I dashed up to him and got him square in the jaw, much like he did me. Which is in the process of healing by the way, six stitches in this puppy. (Quite literally)

Envy stumbled back a step with a pissed off glare. "Yeah yeah, you don't like feeling weak. Get used to it, I feel like that on a daily basis." I shrugged off his glare and prepared for a fight. The boy did the same, his whole body one tense muscle. A muscle that I could read better than A book. Though if the words move faster than your brain, you are screwed.

Lunging and dodging commenced in a deadly dance, Envy's arms now blades as I bent and twisted a mere breath away from them. All I needed was one second to clap my hands. Two more strikes and my opportunity came, I dove into the water while clapping my hands. I caught a glimpse of a baffled palm tree before I hit the water.

Before Envy could question what happened, a massive tidal wave crashed over the side and drug him in. I swam by his side with a bubble mask over my mouth and nose. Sticking out my tongue, I sent a wave to make him go deeper into the murky water. I could hear his gurgled screaming very well as I followed just out of reach. He was in my element, and from what Ed told me about the humonculi, this guy wouldn't die easily. We reached the bottom and Envy has long run out of air, though he was still kicking to get to the surface.

I could feel his anger and decided to be nice, dissipating the water around us. Envy coughed up who knows what and my bubble simply popped. "Now you know not to fight me near water... or just fighting me. Though I can't beat Armstrong for some reason." I said, tapping my finger on my chip. Envy recovered quickly because soon I was tackled by him. "Why don't you just shut up for once! It's no wonder the Elrics left you behind." He yelled, landing a good punch on my gashed jaw. My wolf strength surged and I pinned him down. I howled, anger of my own boiling to the breaking point. "You know nothing of me, not even my name. Piss me off anymore, and there wont be enough of you to regenerate."

I leapt back the the walkway, enclosing the water around the humonculos and walking away. Seething in anger I bounded back to the surface and started running. I seems that all I do is run from my problems, though that's all I wanted to do. I wanted to run right out of my messed up life and back to my parents who held me close, back to my sister who kept my secrets. But I could never return to them, never go back to being a happy family. Never be human again.

My running ceased when Colonel Mustang came into view. I don't remember when, but I changed into my wolf at some point during my running. Or was it when I threatened Envy? Well, when Mustang saw me he snapped his fingers before I could take a breath. The pain was blinding and I let out a yelping howl. Out of breath already, I turned tail and stumbled away. My fur singed and smoldering as I limped to my hotel room, thanking whatever being gave me the luck of having no one at the hotel at this time.

Nudging the door open, I slipped into my room and shut the door back. I limped to the bathroom as I felt my joints stiffen and start to pop. Blistered skin replaced burnt fur and A pained gasp escaped my mouth as my spine popped into place. "Note to self...never...walk up to Mustang...while...wolf." I grumbled letting the blackness take over my shivering form.

I awoke to birds chirping and a sneeze. Sitting up, I immediately regretted that decision. The blistered burns cracking open with the small movement. I hissed and slowly got up anyway, in desperate need of clothing and a shower. Quickly, I bathed and dressed my burns then myself. My favorite black jacket gone for good replaced by a cheap blue one and the black pants by white ones. I hate being broke, but hey, not nude anymore. (If you're wondering, I had Ross gather some clothes for me, I did not leave the room in my previous state.)

Walking over to the Colonels office, I made the decision to give that man a piece of my mind after he torched my hide! "Colonel hot head, I have a bone to pick with you." I announced, busted into his office with Hawkeye reaching for her pistol. "Kai, what brings you here?" The man asked, a tick forming on his forehead. "Simple, you heard that I can change into a dog. Am I right?" I continued after his nod. "Then did you know that it was my hide you charred last night!" I roared out, Mustang quickly piecing together what I was talking about. "I'm sorry. I didn't realize that was you. Your dog form is more like a wolf than a simple canine."

Three...two...one. *clap* I doused the Colonels office and left, Mustang yelling about important documents as I stormed away. When I reached the streets again I walked over to Hughes' place, Gracia had the ability to cheer me up. I knocked on the door to no answer, knocking again I noticed that there were flowers at the steps. -what could these be for?- I wondered as I left the house and bumped into the woman I wanted to see, though not how I wanted to see her. Gracia and Elisia had red puffy eyes from crying and both wearing black. "What's going on? Are you two ok?" I asked, all anger vanishing. "No Kai, we're not. Hughes...Hughes was killed last night." Gracia said through another round of tears.

Hughes? The guy who couldn't stop smiling, even if you took his ice cream? He was dead? "What do you mean killed? I just saw him before the brothers left." My mind refused to accept his death. "I mean that you were supposed to protect him! That's why Edward left you, to make sure everyone was safe! And...and Hughes is dead because you were off somewhere doing who knows what." Gracia continued her grieving rush while my brain was in complete shock.

-Hughes is dead because of me? I guess that does make sense, seeing as Ed did saw to keep an eye on everyone. Now...I failed. And it's all my fault.- There was no one else to blame but me. I dropped me head in shame in front of the woman I called friend. "I don't want to see you again. Please leave." With that, I left. I left central but foot, running once again. The early morning sun soon dipping low into the horizon. Hughes was dead because of me, how was I ever going to face Edward and Alphonse? How can I tell them that I was the reason that their friend was dead? That I was not there to protect him when he needed me most?

The night wore on as I ran, changing back into my wolf as the moon gave me strength to run in my grief. -how far will I run?-

(A/N: Ok, double posting in one day! Now I'm pooped... Hope you enjoy! Tune in next time to see where our little Albino wolf girl goes!
