Must be Mistaken

Prologue

Since her family died, Ednalyn felt alone. She was the 10-year old daughter of General Hohenheim who lived in East. After they died, she was sent to his father's distant cousin, Floyd Burne, and she was just out of luck. Burne was after her wealth and well, as what she has described him. He was an arrogant, selfish, half-straight asshole. Obviously, he didn't like her but he have to endure it until she will be twenty years old.

He then, had an idea. He sent her into a prestigious school where noble ladies are from just to get rid of her. At least Ed was happy that she would be away from her lovable aunt... ehem… uncle.

After she arrived in Calligenia East High, the school where she has sent to, she found a new bestfriend, Riyan Mustang. A cerulean-haired lady who was as lovely as a goddess but had a temper that was so short just like her height. She grinned at the thought when she met her at the big branch of the only acacia tree in the middle of the whole campus.

She had fallen because she was surprised when Riyan saw Ed and thought that it was a nun. Riyan was nervous that the nun might catch her doing... unlady-like things. She ended up with a broken arm and what surprised Ed was that she was laughing about it. She expected her to cry like a baby but that did not happened.

It was no surprise to Ed when she heard that Riyan brother rushed in, wrecking havoc in the hospital asking where his sister was. She was lucky to have a protective and caring brother. His name was Roy Mustang, a lad who was traveling with his uncle using their ship named 'The Fire Dragon'. Unlike her sister, he had a raven-colored hair and had the most innocent face she had ever seen.

Four and a half years later, Riyan decided to get married with Keegan Forrester, a 21-year old Colonel in East whom she fell in love with. After their wedding she left her and again, she was all alone.

For the past 3 months after her best friend's wedding, Riyan moved to the West where his husband was assigned to. They kept on writing letters until an unexpected letter came.

Her custodian said that she will be marrying his friend, Geoffrey Sterne. Her blood boiled, she can not believe it. He really got into her nerves; she was so patient because this month, she will be free from his uncle's custody. And now, he is trapping her again, just to accomplish his desire, money and power.

She stood from her seat, crumpling the letter furiously and threw it in the trash bin. She grabbed her suitcase underneath her bed and started to pack her belongings.

The door opened ad she stiffened. Blast it!

There stood Sister Anne Eldon, she was surprised "What are you doing, Lynne? Why are you packing? Is there something wrong?" Surprisingly not, she asked her calmly.

Sighing, she answered "I'm running away from here, please Sis Anne, don't tell them... I'm begging you..." She felt like a thorn was pulled out from her skin but pain still remained. Ed was waiting for her answer.

The nun closed her eyes, thinking of what to do. "Tell me what's going on..." It was not a question but a command. Ed knew that she trusted her but this matter is something that could never be ignored. Ed decided to get the letter in the bin and handed it to her. She smiled at her and read the letter.

Crumpling the letter once again, she said. "Ednalyn, you don't deserve this. This is too much for you, I can't believe it!" She now, lost her usual self control. She was frustrated and before Ed could stop her, Sister Anne went out abruptly from Ed's room.

After a few moments, Sister Anne got back and brought five sets of guys' clothes. Grabbing Ed's suitcase, she packed the four sets of clothes and left one in the bed.

"Um... Sister Anne? What are you going to-"

Sister Anne cut her. "Shut up, Lynne! I want you out in here as soon as possible. You do NOT deserve this! Now, I want you to cooperate with me. Wear those clothes and run away from here!"

"You mean I'll be wearing guys' clothes?!?" Ed looked at the set of clothing in her bed.

"Certainly my dear!" her tone raised. "You'll be disguising as a guy! No one will recognize you if you do that." She exclaimed.

"What about my hair? You're going to cut it?!" she asked. Her nervous tone rose.

"Of course not! It would be such a waste if you just cut it. I'll do something about it."

Ed nodded. She grabbed the clothes and went to her dressing room. A few minutes later, she walked out, dressed as a guy.

"Now, come here and sit." She said calmly.

Ednalyn nodded and followed her order. Sister Anne started to braid her hair. After, she got a hat and handed it to her.

"Remember to wear this always. You could hide your hair by that. Now go my child."

"Thanks Sister Anne, I'll miss you." Holding back her tears, she hugged her care taker.

"Same here"

Then Ednalyn walked out of her door, hoping not to come back.
