The Non-Existent Alchemist
Chapter 1
The girl ran, she ran as fast as she could. But she couldn't escape the ball of energy that crashed into her back which sent her flying to the side, right into the brick wall that bordered the narrow alley. Groaning, she picked herself up and looked at the man that was after her.
"You're not going to stop are you?" She had a deep voice, but it was also smooth and light. She glared daggers at the man, which actually made her look scary. It was surprising, that such a pretty face could look so sickeningly murderous. The man chuckled darkly.
"Never." And with that he darted towards her, throwing a punch that she just barely missed by rolling to the side. Then she did something surprising. She set both her hands on the wall near her. Sparks shot out from it, and bricks started flying at the man. He dodged them neatly, except for one that hit him square in the jaw. It knocked him backwards and the girl took that as the perfect time to get the hell out of there. Unfortunately, the man got up. Both in a fighting stance, and half the alley already torn apart, Roy found it might be time to break up the dangerous fight.
"HEY!" He yelled at them. Both heads turned towards him and their eyes went wide. Then they looked at each other.
"We'll continue this some other time?" The man asked.
"Don't we always?" With that, the man jumped up and climbed the side of the building, disappearing once reaching the roof.
"After him!" Half the men standing around Roy ran off, attempting to catch the man. The girl however, ran down the alley. Just as she did this, the other half of the men ran after her. Roy stayed in his place.
She started losing her pace after only the first block, so she made a sharp turn into a dead end alley and sat in the far corner. When the men after her passed the alley, she let out a sigh of relief.
"Hey wait, I think she went in that alley we just passed!" She heard one of the men say.
"Fuck." She said under her breath. She couldn't run out of the alley if she wanted to stay hidden, but the alley was a dead end. She looked up to find the buildings that surrounded her were too tall to climb. She saw the shadows getting close to the alley entrance, so she closed her eyes and concentrated. Letting out a deep breath, she clapped her hands together, getting ready to set them both on the ground, and make an exit. But she was kicked backwards before she could finish. One of the men took both her hands and set them behind her back. He handcuffed them together, being careful to keep the palms away from each other.
"Let me go asshole!" She yelled at the man that held on of the upper arms tightly. She struggled all she could, but she simply couldn't fight off 4 army men. She wiggled around under the men's too tight grasps. One man, a light haired guy with a short beard, got fed up with her struggles. He slammed her against a wall, making her cheekbone brutally come in contact with the hard concrete.
"Listen little girl, if you don't stop struggling, I will personally break those skinny arms of yours, got it?" The girl still struggled, letting out a shape breath out of her nose. The man holding her pulled her back and slammed her once more into the wall.
"I said, Got it?!" A few seconds passed before the girl answered a slightly incoherent 'yes' and gave him a cold, icy glare. And so they continued their walk back to Roy.
"Here she is Colonel." Roy came face to face with the young girl, who couldn't be more then 17 years old.
"What's going on? Why am I here?" She demanded.
"Well, why were you running?" Roy asked
"Well, these assholes were chasing me." She said, jerking her head to the side, where the man who had slammed her against the wall stood.
"You ran before we started chasing you." Roy pointed out.
"Whatever, can i go now?" She seemed impatient and continued to glare at Roy.
"No. Men, bring her to central station." And with that he turned around and walked to his car.
"Fantastic." She mumbled as she started before dragged to the second car.
Review please.
