Ungrateful Hope – Chapter 2
Info: this story happens in Moscow, 1927 okay?
After the movie, and after chapter 1, obviously.
(it's the same chapter 2. I just put here to be easier to find)
I hope you like it! If you do, TELL YOUR FRIENDS!!! xD
Oh! And I used some sentences from "Butterfly" – Digimon Adventure 01 (theme song)
And Riza 9 – I stole your onyx eyes
Edward and Alphonse rushed out of the humble inn and passed through the Flower Shop. Officer Hughes was there, hitting on Gracia and trying to fake a fake interest in all those types of flowers. His eyes were deep inside Gracia's soul and possibly the woman felt a mix of lovely heat with a sweet invasion from the officer. They both had a distant and silly look every time they met. A tiny little spark every time they looked at each other. A slight breeze coming from nowhere, chilling their hearts and making them float…every time they thought about each other.
Noa was in the back, so busy with the mathematic and the sums that barely noticed the Elrics running. Since she was used by Ms. Eckhardt as a mere puppet to open the gate, her self confidence was weak. Her will to belong somewhere was desperate, her spirit was empty and her force was pointless.
Edward was thrilled. Alphonse could finally convince him to give a shot, to open the gate once more and to find a real proof that could make the "equivalent exchange" a fair trade. To find a real proof of his existence. To feel alive! To be an alchemist! To be the Full Metal Alchemist! It was indescribable. It was such a fantastic feeling that nothing could stop him at that moment. At least, Edward Elric was back.
"Edward!!! Wait for me!" – yelled Alphonse, running after his brother.
Edward had finally stopped. "You're to slow Al! You were faster when you were made of iron!" And Alphonse replied, angry "I heard that! When I reach you I'm gonna kill you brother!" And the boy's eyes filled with fire and he dashed faster to catch up with Ed. Al hit him in the head.
"What are you doing? If you kill me we'll never go back to Winry!" And after a moment, both of them laughed as they never laughed since their first transmutation circle.
Edward said that they had to go to 'Monique College' and draw the circle again. It was there where they first made contact with Shamballa, and where the armor containing Al's piece of soul first showed up in that world…Also the place where father was killed by Envy's jaws…also the place where Wrath and Gluttony fought for the last time…
I wonder if we'll reach the skies
But a question showed up inside Edward's mind. He didn't want to think about it. He didn't want to answer it…because there was no answer for it. "How to open the damn gate?"
After an endless dream, in this world of nothingness.
It seems as if our beloved dreams will lose
"We…we don't have alchemy…" Edward stopped. "We don't have a sacrifice…" Edward looked back. "We don't have anyone to help us on the other side…" Edward went down to his knees. "We…we can't go back…." Edward shed a tear.
After an endless dream, in this world of nothingness
"What is it brother?" Alphonse noticed that his brother went back to his miserable thoughts and that ungrateful hope was killing his heart and making he feel the most unhappy human being in the face of the Earth. A heart tied by happiness and riddled with emotion. Choked by belief, challenged by logic, defeated. Defeated.
Even with these unreliable wings, covered in images that tend to stay
I'm sure we can fly, on my love
"Giving up already?" – A man approached and stood beside him. "I have the feeling that I know you…" Edward looked at his face: his deep black hair and profound onyx eyes remembered a familiar face. A face he could count on…a possible answer to his agony.
"Colonel Roy Mustang, that bastard!"
