I pouted as they locked my cell. I was stuck until morning, so I instantly started to measure the width between the bars. I was delighted to find that I would be able to slip between them easily. Now I just needed to wait until dawn…
"We'll be back with Colonel Mustang to question her. Keep an eye on her, she's tricky!" Ed told my wardens. I snickered.
The wardens did their job well. After morning, I was still in the dinky little cell with four guns trained on me. But I got to see the shock on Ed's face when he saw me. "Where is she?" he snarled.
"That's her. When the sun rose, she became that little kitten." one warden said. I mewed indignantly.
"We won't get much out of her now." sighed the Mustang character.
"Hey! That's the cat I picked up from the streets!" Al exclaimed.
"He's right!" Ed agreed.
"That'd explain a few things." Mustang said, picking me up by my scruff. I hissed at him when I recognized him as the military man with the fire-balls. "Can't do much now, can you? Just what are you?" he asked me. I glared at him, growling angrily.
No one could've predicted my next move. I slashed at Mustang's hand, causing him to drop me. I ran towards Al, diving head-first into him as the bullets pounded down on me. I meowed triumphantly. They couldn't get me in here. And as they reached in to get me, I leapt onto Edward's face, and then jumped out a near-by window.
I quickly bounded back to then site of my capture, sniffing frantically. Relieved, I followed Scar's scent to an abandoned ware-house. Wailing, I scratched at the door. When it opened, I slipped inside and jumped into Scar's arms. I purred as he stroked my back, reflecting on how I'd have to kill him. Could I get Demon to make an exception? I didn't want to kill Scar! I knew he believed the lie I'd told him about being Ishvalan, but I think he genuinely liked me as a friend. No! I shook my head. Demon had said all human inhabitants! My best bet was to tell Scar the truth about Demon and hope he would leave Central…
That night, Mustang, Ed, and Al found our hide-out. We were trapped, but I knew Demon wouldn't let me die. But Scar…! "You need to get out! They won't be able to kill me, but you're fair game!" I yelled, shoving him towards our only exit. Scar barely got away with his life, but I was trapped completely. I knew it was back to the dinky cell if I was caught, and the colonel was so close to me. I whipped out my dagger, and swung.
"Colonel!"
Blood covered the floor around him as he fell to the floor. I licked my lips in anticipation. A powerful State Alchemist, gone to the grave because of me. But then I frowned. The man was still alive! I screamed as the bullets ripped through my body. It wasn't the end… was it?...
