Chapter 5: a new way of playing
*AN: I haven't seen the beginning of FMAB in a long time, so if the time line is strange, my bad.
(Jason's P.O.V)
I arrived at Central by train. I got up and cracked my back.
"damn, couldn't they make these benches more back-friendly?" I said moaning. As I grabbed my stuff, I saw a girl with green hair walking towards the exit. I sprinted out of the train and after her. As I grabbed her arm, I noticed she was wearing a blue army uniform.
"excuse me!" she said in an annoyed tone.
"I'm so sorry, I thought you were someone else." I said. She walked away. I looked around in the city, and looked for the military. After a while, I saw strange black cars riding past me, all with people in blue in them. I ran after them, as they could help me in my journey to find Elody. The cars stopped close to some sort of asylum. I looked around for an entrance, seeing a window, big enough for 2 people to fit, high up at the 3rd floor. I ran up to the wall and climbed into the window.
"keep an eye on that new guy he said, he'll come towards us he said. I've been waiting here for 3 years, and he's not even close to us." someone said.
"just shut up, he'll be here any minute to save that girl." another man said. I followed them, as they might have more information on the whereabouts of Elody.
"all right, Elody, after our initial tests, you've been going extremely well, with little side effects." a man said. I waited until the man left the chamber, then threw a small rock in between the door. When the coast was clear, I got into the room. I heard a sigh and then felt a hug.
"J-j-j-jas...on" she was barely able to speak. She was wearing a light brown robe, hiding her hair.
"shh, don't talk, I'll get you out of here." I said as I lifted her and sprinted outside. People kept yelling at us to stop us and started shooting at us. I was hit in my right leg, but I kept running. After a while, we sat down in an alley.
"are you okay, didn't anyone hurt you, what test were they talking about..." Elody grabbed my face and kissed my cheek.
"t-t-thank... you." she whispered.
"what happened?"
"t-t-they...they..." she couldn't speak, so she took her robe of of her hair, showing green furred ears, like those of a cat. I was petrified. She looked at me, also petrified.
"do you want me to find a way to turn you back?" she shook her head. I opened my arms for a hug. She grabbed me tight and started to cry.
"there, there. I have you now, they won't hurt you anymore." I petted her. After what felt like hours, we got up and walked towards the train station. I used my last little bit of money to buy a train ticket for the two of us.
We sat down on a bench, and Elody put her head on my shoulder.
"thank you for saving me." Elody whispered to me.
"no, thank you, thank you for being here, and being there for me." I said. The train stopped, and we got in. during the journey, Elody curled up on my lap, and slept. I relaxed and almost fell asleep as well, until someone shook me.
"I'm sorry, we're looking for a man who kidnapped a girl." someone in a blue army uniform said. I yawned and shook my head.
"I don't know anything. But if I do, I'll tell the army." he stayed.
"and this young lady?" he poked her.
"please, she is a failed experiment of my brother, and he asked me to take care of her, she can't speak of understand english." I lied.
"what kind of an experiment?"
"he tried to recreate his wife, but it turned into this. He lost his daughter and his own life, so in a way, this is my only family." I started to cry.
"I'm so sorry, take good care of her." he said as he walked away. Elody had woken up and started to lick my face, probably for my salty tears. Either way, I liked it.
"thanks Elly." I said.
"was...fake...right?" she asked.
"yes, I just though about never seeing my family and friends ever again." I said.
"I...friend?" I nodded. The train seemed to have stopped, and when I looked outside, I saw Resembool again. We walked towards Winry and Pinako's house. Winry came running towards us.
"you've found her?" she said. I nodded. I then remembered one of the guards had shot me in my right leg, as their dog jumped against me. I fell to my knees.
"something the matter?" Winry asked.
"one of the guards shot me in my leg. Could you help?" I said. Winry looked.
"you're lucky, the bullet went through your leg. It might have damaged a bone, but other than that, you're okay." I sighted in relieve.
"is it okay if we stay here for a while, we both don't have a home." I asked.
"of course, but there is only one bedroom left, so you'll have to split it." Pinako said, smirking to us.
That night.
"you've found her, congratulations." the same voice as before said. I was in a pure white room, with a gate behind me.
"who are you." I said. I saw a white body, with only a black aura to show where he was and a big smile on his face.
"oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am "truth", or god, or just whatever high name you can think of me."
"why am I here?"
"you want to leave to your universe already? But you haven't even tried alchemy or anything else." the voice said.
"shut up and send me and Elody to my universe! We both lost too much!" I said.
"pff, find your own way out of this! I won't help you with that additude." the voice said as I could feel myself falling.
I woke up, Elody was sleeping at my feet. I fell back in my bed and put my hands behind my head and started thinking about our options. It seemed this universe is a branch of the timeline where alchemy was accepted instead of science. So building a traveler was no option. I could try that "truth" guy, or even the military. Elody woke up yawning, and stretched herself cat-like before she lay down against me.
"hi." she whispered, a little louder then before.
"how did you sleep?" I asked.
"fine, you?"
"that thing that brought us here visited me, and we might have a problem..." she looked at me.
"we won't be able to go to my world as easily as I first thought it would be." she hugged me.
"smell...good." she said as she sniffed me. I started laughing as it tickled. She looked at me with a teasing face and started really tickling me.
"stop, please!" I said through laughs. She kept going for a few minutes it seemed, so I grabbed her hands and pushed her away soft, then spun around on my back, and got on my legs. She then jumped at me, arms around my neck and swung to my back.
"got you now." she said as she bit my ear playfully. I laughed as I grabbed her arms and threw her over me, on the bed. I then got on top of her, holding her wrists. She started hissing at me and moving wild.
"shh, I won't hurt you." I said. She kept hissing and moving, so I put my face on hers. She looked at me and calmed down. I then slowly got off of her. She grabbed me and kissed my cheek.
"I...trust...you." she said.
"why all the kisses?" I said. She looked away. Pinako then walked in.
"diner is ready. How did you two sleep?" she asked. I gave her a smile and a thumbs up, and Elody said she slept fine, but on the rough side. Pinako laughed as she left the room. I got up and walked down. Elody followed me and we ate our breakfast.
(later that day.)
Elody was a bit tired, so I walked into town by myself. I noticed how long my hair became, so I borrowed one of Winry's elastic bands and put it in my hair. I walked around through town, looking for a place to get some food. I walked into a store and got some supplies for diner.
I walked back to the house, and saw them all sitting outside. They were talking, or in Elody's case, whispering. Elody got up from her chair and let me sit. She then curled up on my lap and purred. She fell asleep. We talked for a few hours, about our journey. I told them about what happened, how I met Elody, what happened in both worlds, mine and Elody's.
"I see, so you want to go back to your world?" Winry asked. I nodded.
"and how do you two feel about each other?" she asked.
"friends, I don't love her if you mean that." I lifted Elody and placed her on the chair.
"I'm off to bed, goodnight everyone." I went to my room, took off my shirt, grabbed a black tank top and put it on. I pulled out the elastic band Winry gave me and lay down in my bed. Elody came in after a while and got next to me. She placed her arm around me and started purring.
What do you think? Good, bad? I've been working hard on this, and my normal fantasy had ran out. Next chapter will have a different P.O.V, and it will start to get a little more sexual (no sex yet though ;-P)
