I was gone. I don't know how the boys didn't notice, but I made a small tunnel out of the dome. I filled it in as I went, so neither of them could escape. When I finally got above ground, I stretched, groaning in sheer pleasure! I really didn't like being trapped in a five-foot-by-five-foot space with my huge wings! Claustrophobic, lemme tellya!

I stretched my wings out, feeling myself change colors again. Then I frowned. I was changing color… Again? But I'd just changed colors!

Jane mewed in discomfort from my shoulder, expressing my emotions exactly. Why am I changing colors so rapidly? Is something wrong with me? I thought, taking off. I was Central-bound, knowing the fight would've started by now. But I was still changing colors! What is wrong with me? What? What?

Feeling an attack coming, I touched down. The attack was very short, lasting only ten seconds. After it was over, I took a short break.

I sat, head on my knees, while Jane relieved herself. What is wrong? Am I deteriorating, so my emotions are shifting incredibly quickly, and my colors with them? What is wrong! What is wrong with me!

I clapped my hands to the side of my head and screamed. "What is wrong? Why am I going through this?"

I felt something tug at me. Not Jane, she looked at me uncomfortably. "Oh. No. Fuck, no, no, no, no!" I scooped her up and flew fast. Already, I could feel the tug at me. "No! I will not go!" I yelled, pumping my wings hard and fast, going straight up. The eclipse was already starting! I gotta get going!

Eventually the tug faded into small nudges, but I came down, Central-bound. I knew what I was doing… I just had to put the pedal to the medal here…

I touched down in the middle of a small battle. "'Scuse me! Comin' through! Move it!" I yelled, running through the soldiers.

I heard whispers of an angel as I ran, surely and steadily towards the Third Lab. "Move it!" I ordered the soldiers standing at the gate. They stood, dumb-founded, as I charged through the gate, into the building, and around the hall. I quickly found the door Ed had made. The nudges became strong tugs, persistent and firm. But I wouldn't give in to it!

Then it started.

The red crackled all over everything but me and Jane. It sure as hell terrified us though! She trembled on my shoulders, and I was quivering as I ran. I eventually tired of running and not getting anywhere. I yelled in fury as the red light faded… and made a hole in the ground. Luckily, it opened right up to where I wanted to go!

"You!" I yelled, jumping down.

"What? Annabeth? But the Stone uses human souls!" gasped Edward.

"And! I'm! Not! One! Hundred! Percent! Human!" I yelled in frustration, waving my arms around. I could feel my colors changing colors faster and faster. They kept going, eventually starting to glow. And as they accelerated, my colors became white.

There was a loud bang, and the glow I was giving off became a blinding light. It was easily dismissed by Father.

I was something. Every feather on my wings was it's own unique color. Different chunks of my hair were different colors. My clothes were loose and colorful. "If you are 'God,' Father, then so be it! I am the Devil, here to be the equalizer and cancel you out!" I shouted, pointing an accusing finger at him.

We fought frantically. Eventually, Father escaped to the surface, and I followed quickly after him, my wings pumping quickly, the air swishing in and out. I shot into the air above him, my face angry, Jane hissing… If cats could talk, I wonder how many swear words that feline was packing per second?

I watched as Father created 'humans.' I didn't think of them as humans. More of dolls to torment us. But it was working. They swarmed us. I was encircled, as were the others. I was scared, angered, and sad. I felt pity for the poor souls. This is the creation of a creation. Not real. I thought, feeling… tears, welling up in my eyes.

Then came the flare. Like a solar flare, there was light, scorching heat, and wind. I spun, taking Jane off my shoulders to protect her from the heat. It burned! I screamed, for the heat burnt off my shirt-back and seared my back. It singed my feathers and burnt my hair. When it ended, I collapsed. "Jane?" I said weakly. Her answering, motherly mew, it was enough to know she was safe.

I then remembered what happened next. Ed! Izumi!

I jumped up, running at Father. Jane screamed at me from her place on the cobbles.

The missile got him first. I jumped back, squeaking in surprise. But now all of the soldiers were shooting Father, forcing him to use his Stone. I grinned, already helping the process. My wrists flicked back and forth, my rainbow-colored light covering the ground as my Alchemy-borne projectiles were thrown at him.

There was a gleeful howl. "Greed, you idiot!" I screamed.

But it had already happened. Greed… was gone.

Then it happened so fast… I remember being thrown back as there was another flare… Al screaming… May crying… Edward yelling in fury… Jane… was licking my face, eyes begging…

I was gone…
