Disclaimers: Like I've stated before, I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist, If I d It wouldn't have ended they way it did and Winry would have died. Shifty eyes
-------------------------------------
It was silent. There was no humans present currently on the street, not really. Everyone had gone home, since the market had closed up for the night. But... one person remained. This person was clad in uniform, the blue one belonging to the state military. It'd become his usual since he'd moved to Central. His blond hair was pulled back in a ponytail.
This person was on his way to the library, boots clomping the cobblestones as he hurried along.
The sun was about to go down, it seemed; it was sliced in half by the horizon and was filling the town with a bright orange glow.
Edward shook his head to rid his amber eyes of his hair, and glanced in the direction of the sun. It didn't really mean much to him; the world turned, making the illusion that the sun was coming up and going down. That was all there was to it.
Something watched the blonde make his way, amethyst slit hues glittering with hatred and joy from an alley close by. A scheming grin graced it's sickening presence on pale features, shadows cast by deep greenish locks that cascaded in an oh-so-familiar fashion. Poor Edward, unaware of the event that was about to take place.
He'd never make it to to the library tonight...
...Three days later...
Eyes snapping open, he groggily lifted his face from the table. He glanced around. "Oh, right.. I'm at the library," he mumbled through a yawn.
Sitting up, Ed, raised his arms over his head, stretching out. Morning light was pouring through the framed glass of the window set behind his chair. "I must have fallen asleep." said the alchemist stupidly, who didn't quite remember when he had arrived. It was a blur. He couldn't recall anything that had happened the night before. Actually, it was three nights before, but poor Edward didn't know that.
Pushing himself up, knocking the chair back as he did so, Edward began to make his way to the front lobby of the rather large building. The many bookcases formed a maze within the library's walls.
As Edward reached the lobby, he was greeted by the sight of a concerned-looking Aru and a search party of men lead by none other than the Flame Alchemist, Roy Mustang. A stern expression attempted to hide the obvious concern in his eyes.
Obsidian orbs landed on the approaching short blond, "Fullmetal?" questioned the Taisa, his surprise evident.
The younger Elric's eyes widened as he turned to see his brother, rushing over to him, his silvergreen eyes blurred and blocked slightly by sandy hair. "Nii-san, where have you been!" exclaimed Aru through sobs.
Edward blinked. "Aru.. I was only gone for a few hours," said the surprised blonde finally. Hadn't he?
"You were gone for three days."
