In the Dark
'I'm in the dark...Why am I in the dark? What happened? Where am I...? Who am I...? Maes...Hughes...? Is that my name?'
I open my eyes and see someone standing there. It's a woman...Riza Hawkeye...Is that her name? I can't remember. She's walking over and looks upset. Was she crying? Her left arm is in a sling. What happened to her? What happened to me?
"Are you okay?" She asks me...Am I okay?
"I don't know? Who are you?"I ask. She looks at me as if I'd lost my mind.
"I'm Riza...I've known you since Ishbal."
Ishbal...What's that? Is it a city...? A country...? Now I remember...It was a country...Then there was a war.
"Is my name Maes Hughes?" I ask. She looks at me strangely again. She nodded.
"What all do you remember?"She asks, still looking like she was going to start crying at any moment.
"Well...A war...And an explosion or something...Where am I"
"Your in the hospital."
"What happened?"
"We were at your house and someone set off a bomb...We were the only ones who lived."
"Who else was there?" She looked down for a moment...I guess to gather her thoughts.
"One of our friends, Roy Mustang...And your wife, Gracia and daughter, Elycia," Her eyes started to tear up...She said I had a wife and child. I wonder what they were like.
"Who did it?" She looked up after drying her eyes. But they started to tear up again.
"I don't know...We've been here for five days.And no one at HQ will tell me anything" HQ? I remember...I'm in the military. Why did I join...? Oh right, to help a friend...Roy Mustang.
I'm starting to remember more now. I think that talk with Riza two hours ago really helped a lot.
I remember the Elrics and their friend...I can't remember her name though. Armstrong, Havoc, Breda, Falman, Furey, Ross, and Brosh, those names I remember well...But I can't remember what they look like.
The names Roy, Gracia, and Elysia stick out too...But I can't remember them. That or I don't want too...
I remember this place is Central and that I'm in the hospital...But I don't know for what though. All that's wrong with me is that my head hurts...A lot...
The doctor just walked in...He said I was in a comma and he was surprised to see out of it so soon...Was I supposed to be in a comma longer?
He left and I tried to remember what happened a few nights ago...It's starting to come back...I remember talking to Riza privately...About Roy I think. Then a loud noise and fire...Oh God...No...STOP!!!!
I sat there for a few moments thinking of what I remembered...So that's what happened. Why didn't I do anything? Was I unconscious...? Or was I too afraid to do anything...?
Someone walked in...It's a tall man with blonde hair...Ugh, he smells like cigarette smoke...
"Hello sir. How are you feeling?" He asked. He looked upset...Like Riza, but trying to hide his pain.
"I don't know...Confused...Who are you?" He looked at me surprised...How many people are going to do that today?
"I'm Jean Havoc, sir..." Havoc...So this is Havoc. "I came to give you this." He pulls out a ring...What? Why is he giving me a ring?
"Your family and Colonel Mustang's funeral was today...It was thought that you would want your wife's wedding ring..." He started to get upset as he spoke of the funeral...
It's nearly one a.m...I've been up trying to figure everything out...I guess there's no point right now...Maybe I'll have better luck tomorrow...
If people like this I'll continue...But for now I'll stop...
