The sky grew dark and the wind picked up again. Arthur turned away from where Alphonse was headed to and faced the village, away from the gaze of Alfred.
" Sister...I don't..what ..what happened just now? " asked the astounded Alfred as he looked at Arthur's back.
Arthur made no effort to say in his answer. " He is on his own now. The church cannot help him no more."
The wind suddenly picked up again and Arthur covered his eyes. Alfred clutched his cloak and saw that the clouds are now at their darkest, and rain was beginning to fall. The trees were shaking wildly and all the cries of the animals could be heard from the forest.
They couldn't see anything.
" Sister !" Cried Alfred as he walked towards him and screamed over the howling wind.
" Come on! We must go and find shelter!"
Sister Arthur nodded his head and grabbed Alfred's hand tightly.
Father Alfred was surprised while Arthur pulled him on through the storm and into the village.
It was chaotic. Debris was flying everywhere and everyone was rushing inside their homes. Children wailed and grownups cried aloud in surprise and anger. Dogs were barking and laundry flying was getting soaked.
Arthur's hand clutched tightly onto Alfred's and he led him to a nearby alley that was being sheltered by the over size roof of the cottage that sat beside it. It was a thatched roof so the water ran slightly through it. Arthur and Alfred gasped from their breath being taken away from all the running. Arthur stared to cough. His cheeks tuned pale red and his face pale.
Alfred was concerned. He may have gotten a fever ! He's thought worriedly.
Alfred immediately took off his cloak and tossed over Arthur. Arthur shivered . " what..father you need..this.." He said slowly his eyelids dropping. Alfred just sighed a frosty breath and look onto the streets. He could still hear Arthur's teeth chattering.
He was feeling pretty cold himself too.
Alfred shivered one last time and then wrapped his arms around Arthur in a warm embrace.
Arthur freaked out.
He squirmed but Alfred held on tight. Arthur eventually gave in, his strength gone.
"Are you warm now..sister ?" Inquired Alfred looking into his eyes. Arthur didn't answer.
Arthur couldn't turn away from those eyes. Eyes so blue you could swim in them..
Arthur didn't answer. He was too busy staring into Alfred's eyes, and he the same. Arthur then looked down and buried his head on Alfred's chest and sighed.
God, He almost wished that the rain would never stop coming.
