"Wait! What the heck?" I shouted. Lightning crashed and thunder boomed outside of our house. I jumped and curled up in a ball, shaking uncontrollably. Thunderstorms scare the living tar out of me. Another boom of thunder and I jumped and yelped while Koda gave my mouth the taste of dog slobber.
Mmmmmmmm, my favorite, also knew that flavor from past experience.
I spat on the carpet "Koda! Ack! Alright—Yuck! Okay stop!" I yelled. Koda shrank and whimpered. I unrolled completely from my ball, and patted Koda while apologizing for yelling at him. The door creaked open, revealing a short person with a dog panting right next to him.
It looked like one of those horror movies, where the person walks in covered in rain while lightning streaks across dark skies behind him and thunder rolls deafeningly. I jumped up preparing for a fight. Oops, I forgot to lock the door.
The person pulled down his hood, revealing golden hair and eyes.
"Mason! What has you in such a panic?" I asked, half-panicking myself. He brought some equipment with him. "What are you going to do with all of that?" I asked. He still didn't answer. Koda was happy as could be now that Tonga was there, but I wasn't with Mason. "Checking something," Mason said pulling out a stethoscope. He checked my heartbeat first. Uh... embarrassing.
My heart was beating strong and fast. No idea why though—also I seriously have no idea why I let him play doctor on me anyway. I guess I throw myself randomly at people. He checked my blood with a needle—which I hate! I started almost crying when he drew blood from my arm.
There is something warm and comforting about Mason, like I know that he won't hurt me, so I tried not to cry.
"Alrighty, nothing wrong with you as I examined… Something should be missing, no way, it goes against equivalent exchange," Mason said, brow furrowed in thought. He looked up at me, and I rubbed my arm where he drew blood, which was my left arm, the inside of the arm on top of my elbow.
"Here I want you to try using alchemy, okay?" he asked. "Alright, here goes nothing!" I shouted and clapped my hands together, transmutation runes in my mind almost immediately. A flash like blue lightning came out of the carpeted floor. I tried making a little knife, not a giant spear—I mean if mom catches me with a spear—wait she would notice this… There is a hole in the floor now, how would she not notice that? Oh well….
