CLARE'S POV
One foot step, two footsteps, three footsteps four. I start to blink to see Hohenhiem slowly walk to stand beside Ed, so quickly I re-shut my eyes pretending to be asleep. After a minute in silence, I slowly open my eyes to see him gone... Well that's odd. I sigh starring at Ed's face. I guess we both have our family issues don't we? Well at least your father is still alive. I touch his hair to see him slowly open his eyes.
Ed: Mmm... Clare... Why are you awake?
He rubs his eyes and puts his hand on mine.
Me: Just thinking that's all.
Ed: About?
Me: Many things.
Ed: Wanna talk about it?
I sigh.
Me: It can wait.
I cuddle back into him to feel his arm go around me.
Me: Just go back to sleep okay?
Ed: If you say so.
He soon then falls back asleep making me sigh in relief.
Now what Hohenhiem said earlier, the classified information, and the thing Ed and Al made wasn't even their mother.
What does he know that I don't know?
I stare at the ceiling.
I know he knows my father, but does that mean my father knew this classified information Hohenhiem is talking about?
No no I would know because I already searched through all his information. He writes down everything he does and learns so why not this if he knew?
BAH THIS IS STILL AS FRUSTRATING AS EARLIER. I look over to Ed awake again, shit I woke him up.
Ed: I knew something was wrong.
He sits up moving his hair away from his face.
Me: It's what Hohenhiem said earlier.
Ed: We're going to my old house tomorrow, so we'll find out then.
Me: It's not just that Ed.
I sit up adjusting myself.
Me: He knew my father. While he was gone, he met my father and he was seeking classified information. My father never mentioned in his jounrals or anything for that matter about him.
Ed: You should've just told me Clare.
Me: I thought it could wait.
Ed: If it keeps you up all night then no it can't wait.
I sigh.
Me: I just don't know what to think. From how everything is looking, it seems my dad has some secrets of his own. I thought I knew everything, but I guess I was wrong.
Ed: Is that how your dad learned how to do Human Transmutation? From Holenhiem?
Me: No. I asked Holenhiem earlier, he told me no so...
Ed: So either Holenhiem is lying and keeping it a secret as to why he did, or he's being honest.
I nod.
Me: But I'm still left with questions. What could my father have known or done that needed to be top secret? And how was Holenhiem a part of it?
I rub my forehead.
Me: All this thinking is giving me a headache.
I lay back down starring out the window.
Me: I just wish I knew.
