It was late afternoon when the train finally left the station.I left shadow at Riza's place because she afford to take care of him while I was gone. I sat there alone wearing a maroon and black striped glittery sweater with black cargo pants with my caramel brown hair down with small braids framing my face. I looked way different then I usually did I looked more gangster than anything. The train ride was long and a exhausting, but the scenery was beautiful. I sat there alone listening to the clattering of the train. Finnally I fell asleep.
The train stopped at a sudden halt throwing me off my seat, my luggage came falling out of the luggage rack too. Thankfully it fell right beside me. Jolting awake I look around the dark compartment. I hear the train conducter yelling " Now arriving at Dublin". Scuring to my feet I grab my bag and hurry off the train. It was pitch black out and the full moon wasn't that high in the sky yet so it was probably around 11pm at night. Grabbing my duffle bag I head of in the night. The streets of Dublin where I was going was dim litted with drunks staggering along. It was a long walk until I reached my destination. Silently slipping into a bar with a old sigh hanging above called the devils nest. A man stops me as I enter the lounge area. "Kids aren't allowed so go home before you get hurt" The man says putting his hand on my shoulder. " Don't touch me" I say pushing his hand away hard. " Why you little brat" He says lunging for me, but I easily leap aside my sweater hood falling back revealing my calico cat ears he stops looking at me like he just saw a ghost. " Well well well look who's back" A man with short black hair says behind me " I thought I smelt cat". Turning around I see Dorchet smiling. " Dorchet" I say giving him a hug, then looking around " hey where's everyone else" I ask. " Oh there on business at the moment, but greed will be happy to see you" Dorchet says pointing to a table where greed was sitting. I run over there right behind him. I slowly tap on his back and wisper right beside him " I'm back". He turns around with a drink in his hand. " Nora, what are you doing here" He say smiling and giving me a hug. Wavering for me to sit down. I take a seat next to him. " Well I decided to take a break because I missed you guys so much and it was quite lonely in central" I say. " Ok well I'm glad your here it's nice to see you again it's been awhile" Greed says taking a sip of his drink. " So have you got anything that might be a clue" Greed asks."No sadly not yet" I say sadly. " Well that's ok your still a kid and it must be hard for yeah" Greed says fluffing my hair. " Hey stop that" I say fixing my hair. The next few hours I enjoyed talking to Greed and Dorchet. Yawning I look up at the clock, it was 1 am in the morning so I decided to get to bed.
" Goodnight guys see you in the morning" I say yawning again as I go up the old squeeky stairs upstairs. Along the hallway to the last room to the left. Opening my bedroom door I look into my dark room. Turning on the lights I look at my small bedroom. My big bookshelf with tons of books on it, my bed with a light pink and purple kawaii kitty comforter and it's bazillion of stuffed animals all over, My lavender colored walls with paintings of clover traced over with fine detail. Laying my duffle bag on the oak floor boards, I open my battered wardrobe and find a light pink nightgown with little strawberries and bunnies on it. I quickly put it on and slip into bed. Listening I hear a racket down stairs. Since the bar was closed I knew it had to be the others. Jumping up I run downstairs and sure enough they where there. "Martel, Roa" I say running up and giving them a hug. " Hey what are you doing here Nora" Martel says hugging me back. " Taking a break from work" I say. Finnally for the first time I felt free and normal , letting my cat ears show and tail. We all talked for a long time until 2am in the morning. Falling asleep on the couch a lay there sleeping.
" Should we tell her the truth" Roa says to Greed. " No not yet she's too young to know yet, but being in the military is the safest thing for her no one would find her there" Greed says sighing. " Yeah it seems like life went by so fast I remember escaping with her just being a little kid and all, Its sad to see her leave" Martel says getting up. "I know but it's best if she is hidden and safe from those monsters" Says Greed picking my sleeping self up. " Now come on we got bussines to do tomowow and it's getting late" Greed says going upstairs. Lieing me on my bed he pulls the blanket over me. Giving me a kiss on the forehead he wispers " goodnight Nora". Roa, Dorchet, and Martel do the same. Closing my door behind me, I turn over and fall fast asleep again. "Goodnight".
