I am new at this, so please don't kill me. This is Chapter 1 and I am going to find out how to post another chapter to this eventually.
A warm breeze flows through the school building as Edward Elric sends the occasional glare to the boy named Russel who is flirting with Winry, his ex. Mr. Mustang stands at the front of the room, pretending to be teaching something useful while his nose is stuck in his book. Winry bats her eyes and silently giggles as Russel pokes her shoulder with encouragement. Riza sits silently in the front while secretly polish one of her guns underneath the desk.
Edward excuses himself and stalks down the long halls with anger and frustration lingering with each step. A heavy step resonates through the wall with a lighter one to follow. Edward Elric has prosthetic limbs on his left leg and right arm. After slamming his fist into multiple lockers, he flings open a pair of doors to sit on top of the outdoor stair case. He looks down to the gate with no interest until the door behind him slams open. He moves his lazy gold eyes to see Rose standing right behind him with an irritated look.
"Aren't you supposed to be in CLASS?" She demands, stepping towards Edward with hostility. He stares at her for a moment before looking back out towards the front of the school. He grunts in respond, pissing Rose off more. "Let me guess, it's your ex girlfriend Winry isn't it? She found a new guy and all of the sudden you can't see the point of life anymore right? Well you need to get over it or else you are going to fail school and get kicked out. Jeez, how does an idiot like you even get into a school like this?" She asks with a scoff.
"Idiot? I'm much smarter than you think." He mutters. She rolls her eyes and pushes open the door before leaving with a final glace to the blond teenager. He drifted into thoughts about when Winry and him were kids in Resembool, making promises to stay together forever. But everything changed when Russel moved to town and Winry dumped Ed. A banging at the gates snaps Edward from his thoughts and he looks down to see a strange man clawing at the gate. "A visitor?" He watches as the Gym Teachers, Mrs. Ross and Mr. Brosh, go to investigate.
"This school is restricted for students and teachers only unless you have a visitor pass." Mrs. Ross says. Mr. Breda and Mr. Fallman are now behind them as extra support. But the man is unresponsive as he continues to claw at the gate. Mrs. Ross is obviously getting irritated until Mr. Breda steps up towards the gate, grabbing the strangers' shirt with force.
"What is your problem?" He demands until the man grabs Mr. Breda's arm and bites it really hard. Edward falters back with shock as a fountain of blood spurts from the bitten arm. He screeches in shock and rolls around until he slams his head into the ground and stops moving. Mrs. Ross gets down and begins shaking the Janitor, but he is unresponsive. Finally his fingers twitch and Ed feels relief, only to swallow it when Mr. Breda grabs Mrs. Ross's shirt and bites her neck, sending more blood everywhere. The two other men cry out and begin running towards the school in panic.
Edward is instantly slamming the door open and running through the hallways, looking for his classroom until finally slamming open the door to reveal a shocked class. Mr. Mustang glares at him before starting a long speech that was immediately cut off by Ed's louder voice.
"Alphonse! Winry! We have to go!" Edward states, grabbing Winry's arm.
"What on earth are you talking about Edward?" Winry demands as Alphonse immediately stands behind his older brother with support.
"I just saw people down at the gate killing and eating each other. There was a strange man and he bit one of the janitors who died and came back to life, killing the gym teacher. Now they are eating each other and we have to get out of here!" Ed yells, pulling roughly with determination.
"Edward." Russel's voice says behind Ed who immediately looks at him. They stare at each other silently for a few moments before Russel nods. "Winry, we should listen to him." Russel says and Winry reluctantly agrees with a glare to Ed. They run out of the room, leaving a shocked Riza, Rose, and the rest of the class behind. Alphonse is immediately by his brother until they stop at a storage closet.
"What are we doing here?" Winry demands, crossing her arms.
"If this is the real deal, then we are going to need weapons right?" Ed asks, kicking open the locked bin with ease since his foot is stronger than most peoples. Russel reaches inside and tears off the end of a mop, revealing a sharp end. Russel pushes the blond hair out of his blue eyes as Alphonse takes the same weapon and Edward pulls out a bat from a nearby locker.
"What about you Russel?" Alphonse asks, looking worriedly to the empty handed Russel who simply grins.
"I am pretty good with hand to hand combat." He says, just as the announcer comes on. Mr. Bradley, the principal, begins speaking instructions.
"Students and teachers, an attack has been placed outside and everybody needs to stay put until the building is confirmed safe. Mr. Fuery, what are you doing in here? What's the matter with you? Hey, stay away from me! Help! Help! He is eating me! Oh God I am going to die! Help me-"His voice is cut off, sending the last echoes of his scream into a ring in their ears. Screams of students can be heard down the hall and Russel orders them to get going before the mob can reach them.
