Chapter 1
This is my first Fullmetal Alchemist story. I hope I get the characters right. I did a few days of studying to get this right, so please don't leave hate. If you don't like it, just leave. Don't review; it only proves how cruel people are.
Enjoy!
I walked, feeling confused. What was I doing? Why was I walking into this life? I mean, I'm an Ishbalan. My eyes are proof of that. So, why am I doing this? Why am I practicing alchemy? Why am I walking into the military to become a State Alchemist? I don't know, but I know I have to stop my father. He is an angry man, but he is nice to me. If I become a State Alchemist, I don't think he would have the guts to kill me, his own daughter. My father is a serial killer.
My father is Scar.
"Daddy, why is there blood on your coat?" a small girl with white hair, tan skin, and red eyes ran up to Scar as he entered the building. His harsh face softened as he saw his young daughter, who was barely up to his hip.
"Darling, daddy was taking care of people who have gone against our God Ishbala's will. They have sinned." He picked up with daughter, who whimpered.
"What's the matter, Seira?" They little girl wiped tears from her eyes as her father rocked her back and forth in his arms.
"Don't they have families? Mothers and fathers? Sisters and brother? Husbands and wives? Daughters and sons? Do they not have friends and people who love and care for them?" Seira whispered, and Scar sighed.
"Seira, these people have gone against-"
"NO! They were people too, daddy! People like you and me! Are you not going against our God Ishbala by using alchemy to kill them? What does it matter anyway? They don't believe in Ishbala, therefore they can do as they please!" Seira howled, tears streaming down her dark face.
"Seira, these are the people who destroyed Ishbal! They killed our people, your mother, and my brother! Why must you try to protect them?" Scar cried out, startling the young girl.
"Daddy, I-I don't want their families to be sad. Their families did nothing wrong. It's like when mummy died. You and I were sad, but we didn't deserve it. Why can you not see this?" Seira wiped her eyes and walked over to the place the pair slept; a pile of thin, scratchy blankets on the floor, and a slightly thicker blanket to cover them. The girl curled up under the blankets, and started to cry. Scar sighed, and lay out the food he had acquired earlier that day. He made tea, and then put some meat onto bread. He left a plate of food for Seira and went outside to eat.
"Daddy?" Seira looked up, and saw the empty room. She walked over to her meal, and ate in silence.
When Scar came back inside, he found his daughter lying on the floor, still holding her mug. He smiled gently, and carefully picked her up. He carried her to the bed, and kissed her forehead.
"Goodnight, Seira."
A young girl lounged against the corner of a stone building in Central, one eye shut, and the other one glowing red. Her short white hair hung over her face, and her tan skin was getting paler by the month. She wore a pale brown vest over a white collared t-shirt and long brown pants over black boots. She wore black fingerless gloves, and a tan cap.
"Yo, Al! Wait up!" Her eyes snapped open as a boy with blonde hair ran past, heading towards a suit of armour. It was him. The one her father wanted to kill.
The Fullmetal Alchemist.
Seira ran after them, slipping through the shadows. She grabbed Edward's arm, and he turned quickly.
"Huh? Who are you?" Edward frowned, looking at Seira.
"I'm Seira. Look out; someone's trying to assassinate you and all the other State Alchemists." Seira smiled before running off, leaving the boys shocked.
"Seira, huh? She was an Ishbalan. How do we know it wasn't her?" Edward glared at the alley Seira had vanished into. Alphonse sighed.
"If she was trying to kill us, she would've done it then and there, not warned us." Alphonse kept walking, and Edward sighed.
"I suppose you're right. Let's go."
OK. Sorry if that was too short, the next chapter will be longer (I hope!)
Please Review, and Saiyonara!
