Paranormal

Chapter1: The Assignment

"Brother, wake up." Opening his eyes, Edward Elric saw his Brother Alphonse staring at him with his big metal helmet as his face. He jumped up in surprise, making him laugh. He then rubbed his eyes and looked at him. "Why do we have to get up?" "Because Mustang's gonna kill you if your late again."

"Dammit!" Ed jumped up off the bed and started to race across the room, collecting his things. He threw his boots on and went for his red coat. "Why didn't you say something!" He swung the coat over his shoulders and ran to the door, Al right behind him. "Because I thought you would know."

Reaching the door, Ed threw it open and dashed outside, leaving his little brother behind him. He ran up the streets occasionally bumping into a passersby leaving them screaming at him for spilling their drink down their shirts. He ran down a street and turned a corner and finally saw headquarters in his view.

He sprinted up the steps and opened the door, heading straight to Colonel Mustang's office. Finding it he stopped running and stood in front of the door, trying to catch his breath. Then he knocked on the door and waited for the Colonel's usual reply to step inside. "C'mon in." Ed turned the doorknob and pushed the door open. He then walked to the front of Mustang's desk. "I'm here Sir." Roy turned his chair to face him. "Well, it's about time you showed up. I have a job for you to do."

Edward groaned in his head. Great, just when I think I can sleep in. He waited for his instructions. "I need you to go to the town of Fairwell and investigate some odd activity they have going on there." He looked at him in the eye, to show his attention was being given. Roy looked at him and smiled his normal sly way. "You've never dealt with something like this before, and its not gonna be easy for you either." Ed thought to himself for a moment. Every job he gives me is something I've never done before.

"So what am I dealing with here, Colonel?" He waited for his reply just to see how hard his duty was to be. He had a feeling that it was going to be very different from the usual. Mustang folded his hands together on his desk and leaned back in his chair. "Your assignment is to investigate the paranormal activities in the town." Ed's eyes went wide. This was certainly different from everything else. He stared at him. Roy smirked. "Your train leaves in two hours. You should arrive at about two in the morning."

The Colonel then dismissed Ed from his office. He walked out looking for Al who was waiting for him outside on the steps. He stopped in front of him. "We have to catch a train in a couple hours." Alphonse looked down at him. "What is it Ed?" "Ghosts."
