Can't you see me?

by Fredrick 7

Edward is dead. His two children Eleanore and Foster with their best friend Selim are trying to bring their father back. And they succeed. But nobody believes anyone could EVER succeed at human transmutation. So Edward must find a way to make his family believe it is truly him. But while they don't, he must go by Edwin until he can get through to his family and regain his home.

3. See you again!

She sat on the edge of her bed. why... why am I so ready to dive into this... I shouldn't be. I should be horrified. But... it's hard for me to be. Thinking of dad's smile... makes it hard.

She stood up and walked down to the living room and sat on the couch. She sighed. Her eyes caught the light glow of the kitchen clock. 4:00. "Oh god..."

She heard a creak coming from the dining room and jumped behind the couch.

"Dad... I know you wouldn't be happy about it... but I know you trust us to make the right decisions. And I think we can do it. So we will. Ella's a bit nervous... but I am too. But I know we can do it. I just know it. But... sometimes I wonder what if we fail? What will we lose?... but I need to go to sleep now... I love you. Night dad."

He walked away. She jumped back into the couch. "Hoo... I thought he was going to see me..."

She moved over and saw a portrait of her father. Tears collected in her eyes. "Dad... I miss you... I don't know if I should go through with this whole thing... Fos seems pretty into it... but I am really scared... I need you back..."

She layed back in the couch. She pulled a blanket off the back and covered up with it. "Night dad."

why... why do I always have to be in the circle of things that are jumbled up into a bowl of spaghetti noodles? There is so much I am expected to do... And no one can give me credit for what I CAN do... I do what I can. But this is just far too much for me... I don't want to go on a wild goose chase because Fos told me we could do it. I need answers. Or just bulldoze through and figure it out. But I really don't want to lose Foster too... that thought scares me...

Ella. A small, insignificant part of the world. She and her brother Foster are stuck. Either they risk their lives to bring their father back, or they leave him to rest, never knowing if they could have successfully completed it.

"Ella."

She jumped. "Woah! You scared me..."

He chuckled. "Well... I needed to tell you something."

"Is it anything about dad?"

He nodded. "Yeah. We need to try soon. Before mom gets back."

She was still half asleep. "Mom? Where is she?"

"London? Fixing up some automail there."

"Oh, right."

"So... tomorrow. We are doing it tomorrow."

"WHAT?"

"We have to do it soon."

"Omigod..."

He looked down. "Sorry for rushing you. But you will probably want to study."

She stood up. "Wow. I have 24 hours... until we try to bring dad back... wow..."

Foster smiled sincerely. "24 hours until we DO bring him back!"

She smiled at her big brother. "Sure. We will."

They both split. She to the kitchen and him to his room.

She finally agreed to do it! She knows this will work! It will! And if it doesn't... there is no if! We will succeed! I will see you again dad!
