I own nothing… L
Ed woke up in a forest with trees towering around. Two people, a boy and a girl, where stalking through the under growth.
Ed looked around, trying to pinpoint where he was. He was lying on the ground, and he had a splitting headache. He was pretty sure he wasn't in Amestris.
The girl turned her head in his direction, and he dropped his head back to the ground. She noticed him, and motioned to the boy, and began to walk over.
He kept his breathing quite, and pretended to be unconscious. Five seconds later, they where standing over him. He just noticed the bow strung over her shoulder, and hoped it didn't get aimed at him anytime soon.
"Who is he?" Asked the boy, who was seven-teen or eight-teen.
"Never seen him before." Replied the girl. "And I don't think he's from the capitol…"
"Look at his clothes!"
"They don't look like capitol material, or design."
"So?"
"Come on Gale. Lets get back to 12. The Games are in a week, and the security is getting stronger."
As they trekked off, Ed jumped into a tree, and began following them.
About five miles later, the girl paused, and cocked her head, as if listening. She nocked an arrow in her bow. She slowly turned, and drew it back. She took aim where Ed's head was. Ah s***. He thought as she fired the bow.
He quickly moved his automail in front of the arrow and it bounced off. The resulting clang of the arrow tip against the automail startled all the birds within a hundred yards, also shattering the arrow. The boy, presumably the Gale that she mentioned, whirled around.
Ed dropped out of the tree, his coat and braid flapping in the wind, than stood straight up.
"What the **** are these 'Hunger Games' and how the **** do I enter?" He asked, glaring at them.
When they arrived at Katniss' house, for that was her name, Ed learned, a run down, one story house, with holes in the roof, and no glass in the windows.
She barged right in, and slammed her bag down on the table, almost knocking it over.
"I'M BACK!" She shouted, and then turned to him. "So, Ed," she said, trying to get more out of him then on the walk back. "Where did you say you were from again?"
"Amestris."
"How old are you?"
No answer.
"Why are you here?"
Ed paused, then whispered so softly that she could barely hear him: "Al…"
At that time, Prim, Katniss' sister walked in, holding a small hunk of bread. She stopped when she saw Ed, and then went to move behind Katniss.
"Whose he?" Prim asked cautiously.
"He says his name is Ed."
Prim peeked out from behind Katniss, looking at his strange clothes.
"How come your wearing gloves inside?" She asked in a quite voice.
"Medical condition." He said, as if that explained everything. "The backs of my hands have a lot of scars on them."
He stretched out and yawned, almost eating his own face. "The only reason I walked with you is so I could get some answers. Now, I'm going to leave."
Prim looked at him. "What would you eat?"
Ed grinned. "I'm gonna survive a week. That's easy. I survived an extremely painful surgery when I was eleven. Anything else is practically a game."
