Eclair

We find a way out, and make camp miles away, finding we were back on track to take out the bad guys. We were exhausted, and could barley move. We crashed on the forest floor, just laying on the ground.
"This is exhausting." I moan, lifting up my metal arm, to block the setting sun. I was tired, drained of energy.
"Tell me about it" Ayumi responds, sighing. We lay in a circle, dampened by the rain.
"At least we're out of there" I moan, putting my arm down, almost whacking Ed.
"Try to sleep guys, you'll feel better" Al told us. We moaned.
This sucked.
I soon fell into my dream land, although I wasn't sure if it was more of thought.

"You couldn't bring me back, Daughter" A man behind me said. It was my father. He grew big red eyes and turned to a monster, chasing me through an Endless maze. "How do you expect to raise a family if you can't even bring back you're own father?"
"Leave me alone!" I shouted, noticing I was a little girl again. I couldn't run fast enough. My alchemy didn't work.
"Come here little girl"

"Nooooooo!" I screamed, bolting upright, waking up to face reality. I checked to see if I had my auto-mail arm and leg. I had never ever been so happy to see my metal arm and leg in my life.
"Eclair, are you....okay" Edwards was woken up by me, and apparently I punched him in the face...
"I-I'm fine" I say, looking intensely at my own feet, glad the one was metal.
"You don't look fine"
"I-I am" I try to roll over and get back to sleep, but Ed grabs me, holding me in an uncomfortable posisition.
"You're not okay, what did you do?"
"I didn't do anything!" I protested, trying to break loose of my holding, but he wouldn't let me.
"Nightmare?"
"I said, leave me alone, I'm fine."
"You're definitely not fine."
"Just leave me alone!"
"I'm not going to leave you alone. Now what happened?"
I closed my eyes and felt a tear fall. I fell limp in his holding, as he tried to support my body.
"El..."
"It's nothing. Just....let me be. I need some time to think" I tell him, as he lets go of me. I climb a tree and hide up there.
I think about it. My mother was 'dead'. She still could be out there. What if she wanted me...what if I had failed my father. What if there was a way?
"Why...." I ask the night sky. The stars hang above glooming down on me as if they don't want me to ask the question myself.
I close my eyes, and think, It's all gonna be okay trying to reassure myself, but all I can think is, There's something big waiting for me
