Chapter 1:START
Lightning crashed on the landscape and the loud boom-rumble of thunder was heard next and it seemed as if the house on the hill shook. There was a cry from two young boys, "Momma!" The boys had golden hair. One had golden eyes, the other brown.
The mother was in the kitchen, washing dishes. She had long black pants, white socks, a black short sleeve and an apron. It was around 7pm, and since the boys were still up, she was going to cook them cookies and give them juice since they like they're father hated it with a passion. The woman heard they're call and looked down to see the boys hugging her legs. Her arms were Automail, and always will be , but her legs were not. She wore gloves that she needed to wash anyway.
"What's wrong, momma's heroes?" she asked and knelt down taking her gloves off and setting them on the counter. The oldest was by a year and he had both gold eyes and golden hair. He wore blue Pj's and his hair was short. He wore no shoes or socks either. "Momma, the rain is scary!" he admitted and the younger nodded. The younger had golden hair that was slightly long and pulled back into a low ponytail and his eyes were dark brown like his mothers.
The mother had long light wavy brown hair that she braided and her bangs were parted from her eyes. Her eyes were a dark brown and filled with sympathy and kindness toward her two sons that were 6 and 5.
"What's so scary about the rain, Alex? The rain helps the plants grow." The mother smiled and ruffled his golden hair along with his brother's. "But momma, its that lightning and thunder!" his brother squealed and hugged her right arm tightly. "Don't worry, Benjamin, the lightning and thunder will be gone by morning." she smiled. "But it's scary, momma! Why can't it go away now?" Benjamin asked. "The rainstorm passes through, slowly, dear." she answered. "What are you doing, mom?" Alex asked, curious. Mother smiled, "I'm washing the dishes, Alex. And when I'm done I'll make you both cookies and a glass of juice. You can stay up with me as long as you want tonight." The boys cheered. "So does that mean dad's coming home soon?" Benjamin asked, eagerly. The mother looked out the window. "I hope so, dear. Why don't you go sit on the couch in front of the fire, when I'm finished washing the dishes, I'll get you a cup of juice and we can chat while waiting for the cookies to bake, hmm?" The boys nodded and ran to the living room.
The mother sat down, between the two boys and handed them each a glass of juice. Alex had orange juice and Benjamin had apple juice.
"Mother," Benjamin started. "Yes, dear?" she asked. "Can you tell us you're life story?" he asked and Alex crawled up on her lap with Ben. "As in, childhood, teenager years, up until now!" he agreed. She smiled. "Of course, dear. Get ready to hear my story. This may take a while." The boy cuddled under they're blue and red blankets. "Start!" they yelled happily.
"It all started that one night. It was stormy, like tonight."
It had been weeks after Trisha Elric had fallen ill and died. After the funeral to which Mr. Elric had not come. To which the day she had started to really worry about Edward and Alphonse and made sure she contacted them whenever she was able.
But something bad was bound to have happened.
A night just like tonight.
"How do you feel?" Winry asked as I looked at both my Automail arms. "Quite good, actually. That Ishvallan guy was mean though." I muttered. "You did get into a fight with him and lost so it's your fault too." I rolled my dark brown eyes. "Ok, ok, but my Alchemy is still better than his!" Winry face-palmed and I smirked.
My name is Lillian Evelyn Rockbell. My older sister by merely DAYS is Winry Rockbell, and we live with Granny Pinako. The Elric's are a family friend and the Elric brothers are Winry and my childhood friends. There's Edward Elric, and Alphonse Elric. They're mother's name is Trisha and she's super nice! However, she died only years ago. It was of some weird illness she had and Mr. Elric hadn't even made it to her funeral! I don't even think he knew, Granny doesn't even know if he's alive even.
I wore long black pants that went under my feet and I tripped on, but still wore, a white shirt, and a white and blue plaid unbuttoned shirt with rolled up sleeves to my elbows. And of course I wore white ankle socks. I have long wavy light brown hair and dark brown eyes.
I was the only one in the Rockbell family to practice Alchemy and I think I was pretty good at it.
I read all about Alchemy from the library in Central and in the Elric's home, in Mr. Elric's study.
The door was knocked upon and Winry looked at me and Granny. "Who would be coming at this time of night?" she asked and I smiled. "Ed and Al must be home from training!" I yelled and ran to open the door. I flung it open and gasped.
A suit of armor was kneeling down and holding an unconscious Ed who was bleeding.
"Please, help him, brother's going to bleed to death!" I moved out of the way. That...that sounded like Al! Why was he in a suit of armor? And what happened to Ed?
I shut the door and locked it. Then finally turned around. "What the bloody frigging hell happened?"
When I think about it now, I was probably the dumbest one that Granny had to deal with. Edward Elric and I would fight, but I'd always worry about what stupid things he gets into. I guess it was my job as a friend to worry. But that didn't help with Colonel Mustang making his first appearance now did it? He was a cocky 'tard, one that I still say is cocky, and a hot-head, but above all he loved to tease us when we got to know that idiot.
Colonel Mustang grabbed onto Edward's shirt and picked him up. "You did it didn't you?" he demanded and I stood in between Alphonse and the wheelchair Ed was 'stationed'. "You did Human Transmutation, the both of you!? Why did you do it!?" I tugged on Mustang's jacket of the blue uniform. "Please," I started. The Colonel looked down and I dared say I saw Ed do the same. "Let go of Edward, he's gone through enough. He and Alphonse. Just let go." I pleaded and the Colonel continued scolding the Elric's. So I decided I had no choice and snapped my fingers. In a flash an imaginary bucket tipped and water poured all over Mustang. That is when he set down Edward and went to me.
"A little kid like you too, huh? Do you commit the Taboo too, kid?" he asked and I waved my Automail arms back and forth. "No sir! I've been studying and performing Alchemy for awhile now." I admitted. He grabbed the collar of my button up shirt and pulled me up, so I could see him eye to eye. "Then tell me how you can perform Alchemy without a Transmutation circle and why you have automail for arms." he demanded and I nodded. "I-I d-don't know h-how I can sir, and I-I g-got in a f-fight with an Ishvallan s-sir." I answered, trying not sound weak, but this guy was freaking me out.
This got him to let go and I immediately took my spot by Ed and Al.
"I want you two to become State Alchemists. Edward Elric, miss..?" I gulped. "Lillian Rockbell." After that he soon left.
Winry came over to us. "How are you two?" she asked. "Fine." I said. "Winry, I want Automail limbs." Edward requested and her eyes went into hearts. "You got it!" She and Granny immediately went to work on an arm and leg for him. I looked to the oldest Elric.
"You're going to do it then?" I asked and he looked to me. "Yeah, I'll take Colonel Bastard up on his offer. You?" I nodded.
"Colonel Bastard didn't know what he was asking, we're going to make him wish he didn't request us, right?"
"That's right, Lily."
When Ed finally could walk and use both arms again he vowed that the three years of rehabilitation it takes to get used to will be filled with training.
Little did I know that what they created when they tried to bring they're mother back, wasn't human and things are going to get ugly when the time comes. But for now, the Elric brothers and I have something to look forward to. Teaching that Colonel Mustang who he's dealing with!
That's the end of chapter one of my first ever FmAb fic! I WILL update my other fic's, and don't be mad, but I just HAD to write this. I'm a fan of Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood and I HAD to write this. I HAD TO, so before you get on my back about "You have TWO fic's you NEED to UPDATE" just know that I'm working on all three together. As in I write TRANSFORMERS-then-YU-GI-OH!-then-FULL METAL ALCHEMIST, ok?
Can you guess who Alex and Benjamin's dad is?
I don't want to be a sucker but Reviews would be nice. Not saying you HAVE TO but, I appreciate how people like my fic,
And like I've said many times before, if you want to request something to me, like a fic to read, a fic to write, or to just plain talk, don't hesitate to do so.
