I laughed as Ed fell on his butt. I knew how to run on ice and what to expect. I'd had practice at my relatives' in Alaska! My shoes had tiny spikes for extra grip, and I had altered my clothing to the body-temperature circulating stuff again. "You gotta be careful, klutz!" I taunted.

"Oh, shut up and come on!"

The blizzard did come quickly. I was worried the boys would lose me because of my white clothes. And pale skin. And white hair.

While we were on the train, my hair fully became white. My left eye was turning purple, and my right eye was even a more shocking blue, electric blue in fact! I stayed close to them, but realized I could use it to my advantage when Captain Buccaneer showed up. "Al, do you wanna carry Janey?" I cooed.

"Uh, no? I don't wanna freeze her…"

I knew he wanted to, but I could see his logic. I nodded, whispering in Jane's ear. She started purring loudly until I shushed her.

"Ah! A bear!" Ed and Al yelled.

I faded into the blizzard. Jane and I would seem part of the blizzard because of our coloration. I waited… and waited… and yelled.

"Come find me!"

I heard loud gasps. "Annabeth! Where'd Annabeth go?" I heard Ed cry.

"Come find me! Come find me! Come find me!" I sang, dancing around the ring of gun-men. I pranced closer, letting them see me. "Come play with me! Come play with me! Come play with me!"

Jane joined in, wailing softly, prancing softly behind me.

"Come play with me and my kitty! We're lonely!" I called, smiling a childish smile at them and spreading my arms wide. "Come play with us!"

But being bipolar makes things complicated. Especially when someone shot at Jane. "Hey! Shooting the cat isn't allowed!" I yelled angrily, losing my sweetness. I flicked my wrist and a large snow-cloud enveloped us. I picked up Jane. She was in shock from being shot at, but managed to let me know she was okay. I found Ed and Al. "Yeah, you two don't move." I said huskily, still a little pissed. "I made a distraction for a reason, nit-wits!"

We all cried out as Buccaneer's auto-mail arm crashed down next to us. I made a point of touching it, just in case. Then Ed did the foolish throw-himself-recklessly-at-the-enemy move. It got him caught by the captain. He tried to trans-mute the arm and failed. That's when I made my move. "Al, I'm borrowing this!" I yelled, leaping over him and grabbing his helmet.

"Hey!"

"Edward! Incoming!" I flung the helmet perfectly.

It worked at the least. I grinned, picking up my kitty. "That's one thing that went according to schedule!" I sighed, plonking myself in the snow. "Now we…"

I trailed off. We were searched by the soldiers and taken into the wall. I was a point of interest for my light dress yet perfect body temperature. I was asked a few questions that got a little nosey, so I began to ignore them. I was a suck-up, so I asked a few questions I already knew the answers to. Knowing the components in Buccaneer's arm—the one that wasn't tangled up with Al's head—really earned me some points. Right before General Armstrong showed up, the captain asked me a question. Who I was and why I was with the boys.

"I'm Annabeth Zatsune. I came here from… far away, and I'm told my purpose here is to baby-sit the knuckle-heads." I shrugged. "Life isn't fair. Then again, if it was, there wouldn't be such a word." I added indifferently.

"Now who told you that?" Ed cried.

"Same guy who gave you your limbs, that's who!" I snapped irritably.

The door slammed open and I jumped to the side.

We were led to another room for questioning. I felt lucky that Jane wasn't too eager to attack anyone, because if she did, I was dead!

The brothers were drilled first. When she finally turned to me, I bowed respectfully. "Captain Buccaneer tells me you say you're from far away. Would that 'far away' be the other side of the border?" she asked.

"No, General." I stood up, looking her in the eye. "Jane and I are from another world. I was born to come here and ensure the story went right. People on my side of the dimension grow up listening to stories about Amestris for bed-time stories. It isn't a lie. It has to do with Alchemy. It's what makes mine unique. It's why I strive to make sure certain things happen, not others. So far, the story is going how it should. Sir."

She got up and stood over me. I stared back into her piercing blue eyes. "Your eyes are of an uneven shade." she observed.

"The darker one used to be red. Ever since I came to Amestris, my body has been changing." I said, letting the cat out of the bag.

"Well, I believe you, because you have the guts to hold my gaze for our entire conversation." the general said.

"One thing I've learned is it's obvious to tell when I lie. I cast around, looking for an excuse. When I tell the truth, I look who I'm speaking to in the eye. Eye-contact can tell nothing but the truth." I nodded. My face was blank and pale. I was completely white except for the large wings I hid under my cloak. In my head, I could hear the music for Alice Human Sacrifice, Nightcored. I was tempted to fling my small wings out and start dancing to it.

Red Alice? General Armstrong. Blue? Mustang. Green?... I guess Winry. Yellow is definitely the brothers… But who's the stubborn sister? Ed, I guess. Al is the patient one, and Ed is a rock.

I was disrupted from my thoughts by the general.

"What are you thinking, girl?" she demanded.

"A song, and how certain people in this world correspond with people in the song. My life plays to a sound-track in my mind, and I rarely go two seconds without a new song running through my mind." I answered truthfully.

"Well, that explains why you made that little thing back in Central." Ed said softly.

I felt eyes on me, so I nodded. "Yes. Using Alchemy, I recorded songs from my mind and into a small machine I made. I can now listen to them whenever I want."

I knew she'd want to see, so I pulled it out of my thin jacket. Blankly, I handed it to her. She was very good at hiding emotion, so I couldn't tell if she was amazed or bored. "How many songs are there?" she asked.

"Uhh… I don't know exactly. I like a lot of different kinds of music, so there's lots of different songs on there. I know there's at least eleven or twelve Hatsune Miku, six or seven by Rin and Len Kagamine, a few tATu songs, a bunch of Nightcore remixes, a couple Avril Lavinge… I've got William Tell Overture on there… Kasane Teto, Haku Yokune… I honestly don't know, sir." I stammered, trying to count them out mentally. It was the first time I'd been flustered since entering the wall. I was really confused about how many I had on there.

"The one language…"

"Japanese. When I was little I wanted to go there, because I idolized those singers. But now I'll never get to go. I'm not supposed to live that long." I smiled upon saying my death-note. "My swan-song is going to be sung in roughly four years."

"This one."

"Alice Human Sacrifice. Not exactly the most cheerful of stories. There's a story called Alice in Wonderland in my world. This is a brutal and violent twist, how there wasn't one Alice, but four. How the first was a killer, the second a mixed up young man that got shot, a young girl who became queen and fell under a course, and the two siblings that made the perfect Alice, but were struck down by the first." I said after listening for a few seconds."

The general nodded and turned back to the boys. We were very quickly told we were going to work. I was just fine with it, and told the brothers that we exercised the same principle a lot in my world. I did often have to do my chores before eating supper at home.

In the halls, the brothers found out the major's secret. They turned to me, waiting for my secret. I unconsciously reached for my back. "Some things are better left untouched." I smiled secretively.

I knew they wanted more, to know what I was hiding. But I couldn't let them know I was… an angel, of sorts. An angel of darkness.

The voice sounded in my head and I grinned. Of course. Only bad angels have dark wings! So I'll become dark. The white was natural camouflage for the snow. Now I don't need it and I'll change. My eyes and hair will become dark. I'm the Angel of Darkness…

I will fight…

I will fight…

I will fight...

I will fight…
