I have been working hard, i read multiple fanfic and note down many words for usage, reading many stories to gain inspiration as to how to make the flows in the story smoother... the first half is rather jerky. Forgive me! Every night i would atleast write 2-7 paragraph of the story... anyway, enjoy!
Chapter 2
Truth Nonsense
[ Ezren ]
'mm.. I don't want to wake up' I told myself; I mean, who would wanted to wake up in these warm and fluffy blanket.. not to mentioned, it smelled so nice.. luring me to continued sleeping.
Though there is something that keep tickled my nose. 'Wait, tickles? When did blanket and ticklish be linked?'
But I can't lost conscious here, I've to know what's this sources of fluffy sensation I'm currently using or who was the one that are trying to baited me to fell asleep.
With all the willpower I managed to forked out, resisting the temptation of the sleepiness; I forced my eyes opened.
White; white was what I saw when I opened my eyes; only white was surrounding me, including strands of something wave in front of my vision. Waving and flowing like it's seem to be in underwater.
What was tickling my nose was strands of something; something hairy, something...
'Human hair?!'
I widened my eyes in surprised, the warm and fluffy sensation isn't from the imaginary blanket like I'd imagined.
'Wait wait wait! This isn't right! I'm suppose to be watching the solar eclipse at my front garden than...'
With the sensation that was still lingering around, it was hard to focused and concentrated to recollected my memory before I lost consciousness and ended up here.
'Ah yes, I remembered that on the peak of the eclipse, together with the town bell that rang.. I lost my conscious at that point'
So.. I twitched my eyebrow in dissatisfied mannered, the problem now is..
"WHO IS THIS RANDOM GUY THAT WAS HUGGING ME RIGHT NOW, RIGHT HERE AND ATTEMPTING TO LURE ME TO SLEEP?!"
[ Winter ]
'Is my eye playing tricks on me? Is that what I think I'm looking at right now?!'
A yellow glowing butterfly with a sprouting antenna that is similar to our household trademark, was circling around Ezren unconscious body
Ezren had suddenly collapsed awhile ago during the occurrence of Eclipse, everyone with common reflex, had rushed to her side to check if she was alright. I, too ran to her side and it's at that time that I noticed the extraordinary butterfly.
No one seem to noticed the butterfly as the creature landed gracefully on the tip of Ezren antenna and lit up brightly, it shone so bright that I thought for a moment; I found myself looking at the hologram of young Grandpa' Ed wearing his trademark red coat, holding Ezren in his arms as he smiled with a finger placed on his lip, as if hinting me to be quiet.
With the toothy grins that the hologram Ed continued to shown, he lip sync something to me and vanished to thin air, the sight that I witnessed go back to normal as well, but that mysterious butterfly is nowhere to be found.
[ Ezren ]
One little veins..
Two little veins..
Three little awesome veins..
Four little hyper veins..
Five little bloody hell veins..
"WHEN THE HECK COULD YOU LET GO OF ME?!" I Bursted out.
I've been here struggling for the past gods know how long to break free from the clutches of the unknown person that were STILL hugging me from earlier on.
With the realization of the truth behind the fluffy warm blanket, sleep is no longer the cause of my lost of concentration. Hence, I'm so so so bloody awake right now that I wanted to beat the crap out of this molester right now and NOW!
'What's up with everything? I was just looking at the stupid eclipse when this thing had to happened to me.' I absorbed the situation with frustration, bugged by how one innocent eclipse viewing had causes this turned of events. Escaping the hold of this unknown person is an impossible task now, no mattered how hard I've tried, I couldn't break free! As much as I wished to murder the other existence right now.
'Don't tell me I have to be this way for the rest of my life.. With this unknown alien holding me..' I submitted myself and leaned in to the warmth, deep in my own world. Colors and emotions drained from my facial and resulting a lifeless me, but is having an inner debated with myself.
Sensing my discomforted and destabilized emotion, the aliens withdrew his hand from my waist and started the work of patting. 'Is he trying to comfort me?' The stroking continued, 'Than he could do better by letting go of me.' I thought harmlessly and deliberately, never expecting that the alien would actually complied my request.
The solaced stopped, he removed his hand from my head and deepened the embraced, his seething emotion shown up in the range of shivering to quivering. Making it cleared to me that this alien here, does not wanted me to go and leaving him behind, all alone.
Reluctantly... He soften his grasp slowly. I could see him more clearly now as the flow pushes me furthered away from him as he released. The alien doesn't had anything, it was pure white void with the outline of a human.. A feature that is so familiar to me, so similar to me, and that one obvious trademark gave everything away.
'Grandpa Ed...'
I widened my eye in astounded, stared at the feature with ambivalent gazed as I get drifted furthered and furthered away. He was there, holding both his arm out as if wanting me to go back to him. But wait, he seem to be in distressed, he was desperately trying to get closer to me, but something seem to be holding him still.
I looked down at my body and realized, why Grandpa Ed hesitated. My body was wrapped with tiny inky black tentacle-hand, they are pulling me to somewhere, away from him. Echo of something opened resonance behind me, looking behind, white light was what greeted my vision, I caught glimpsed of a door beneath it before everything get too bright.
"Yo!"
Startled by the voice, I flickered my eye to get adjusted for the sudden changed of brightness. And what appeared in front of me was what I saw before, in that famous series from our household.
The Truth
Sudden chill hit me like a splash of water being splashed at me, I stood there frozen with devastation written all over my face. Cold sweat breaks out from my palm and beads of them rolled down from the side of my cheek. I'm terrified, if what happened in the show was actually true. Meaning some tolls will be taken from me for stepping into this forbidden zone, my stomach twisted in disgusted at the thoughts of my body parts being dissipated.
"Hey! Say something!"
The truth look exactly the same as it was in the show, so I guessed this part must be the real experiences from him. That gigantic door with complex design is there, my gate, it is really there.
"Excuse me, young alchemist, I'm pretty sure that ignoring people is an act of rudeness." Truth stated in irritated tone.
Startled by the tone and dare not to offend truth, I replied. "Umm... Sorry?"
Truth smiled widely, literally smiled that it bring a whole new level of creepiness I've ever experienced. 'Surprisingly disturbing..' My stomach twitched in agreement.
"I suppose you still have some manners." Truth grinned.
"Than, Dearest Truth, what do you need a useless mortal like me for?" I questioned bravely, hints of fear lingered around my voice.
Truth upgraded his smile to eerily grin and pointed his index void finger at me. "Glad that you ask, young alchemist.. No, Descendant of Edward Elric, Ezren Elric. I'm bored, so I decided to have some fun with you.. Just a little."
I wrapped my chest with my arms upon the 'some fun' comment, 'So Truth is a horny bastard? That'd bring down the impression I had for him...' I gave the Truth a looks of disgust and disbelief while my body happily giving birth to goosebumps.
"Pervert..." I muttered.
A comically arrow stabbed down hard on the head of the Truth with a label of 'Pervert' written on it. Truth stood there dumbfounded, his mouth widened apart and his body remained still, seem like he is having some issues processing what he just heard.
"P-P-Pervert..?" Truth repeated.
"Yes. Pervert."
...
...
...
"Back to earth Truth, snap out of it. You are supposed to be big and mighty, and not losing your composure easily." I reminded.
'But still... My impression of him really is...'
Straightened his back and gave himself a few testing coughs, Truth regained his grins on his lip and carried on with his pointing index finger at me.
"Ezren Elric! I shall send you back to the past, where your ancestor, Edward Elric is alive at that present time!" Truth announced.
Poker face was my expression as he continued his speech or declared of bets. Having the time to read so many fanfictions before, that prepared me a whole lot of mental support to stay neutral at this.
"I said earlier didn't I? I'm bored and I decide to have some fun with you."
No responds from me except the frowns forming on my eyebrow.
"I'll send you back, and in order to return back to your present time. All you have to do is..." Truth paused his sentences, trying to get me anticipated.
...
...
...
"Fall in love with Edward Elric." A smirks crept up to Truth face as he finished. And the next seconds he was greeted with a fist flying to his left cheek that sent him flying back.
Thud
"What was that f-" Truth sat up bewildered and demanding for reasons but needless to say, got cut off by me.
"Never in your fucking life that I'll ever fall in love with that bastard." I threatened dangerously with shadow cast over upper part of my face. I pointed accusingly at Truth with my now shaken with anger finger. Abhorrence displayed clearly from my expressions, my gestures and my body language, In the first place, it's so sickening to force someone to fall in love with someone as a stake! And added on the blood relations between the targeted targets, it's utterly absurd!
"Well, whether you like it or not you're still going back." Truth stated as a matter of fact and wave me off with his fingers.
My own gate opened behind me. "No way!" Numerous tentacle inky hands homing towards me. "I'll never fall in love with someone I dislike!" Wrapped around me with all the available space I provided and pulled me into the gate.
"YOU HEAR ME?! I'LL NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH EDWARD ELRIC!" I squawked. I found no point to struggled against these tentacles as they will still dragged you to where they want you go. After sending my final declared before the door shut completely, Truth was last seen sitting there digging his ear, not bothered by my outbursts at all.
"SCREW YOU!" I screeched annoyingly before going through the scenario of data being forced to my brain.
[ Back to Truth ]
Truth dug his ear and for once is thankful for the quietness, fully aware that the brat he had just deal with is the descendant of Edward, nonetheless, he never expected that he would get a kiss from a fist in this way.
"Your blood definitely run in her veins." Truth acknowledged.
"I know."
Cracked a grin, Truth lifted his head. A hologram of young' Edward in his usual attire stood across.
"You two look so much alike."
"I know."
"She will despite you ever more now."
"I know."
"You are not fun."
"I know."
"Is this what you want?"
"Yes."
Truth slammed himself to the nearest solid objects, giving up the conversation that is going nowhere.
"Oh well, I do what you want and in return, I get my fun out of this."
Hologram Edward mouth cracked into a small smile and dissipated into a glowing butterfly, the very same butterfly witnessed by Winter, flapping it wings and guided himself toward the gate. Eventually disappeared away from Truth sight, Truth glanced at the direction that Edward had gone to and give a shrug. Preparing himself for the upcoming show that is happening.
I wonder when will the next update arrive...
I realized that i make Truth a little gentle here, i was thinking, since truth was the person itself, mean they are resemble each other. they behavior should be roughly the same.. oh well...
