Get Out Alive
Chapter 1 The House in the Storm
Edward Elric watched as his younger brother, Alphonse, climbed into the back of the car behind him. Alphonse had to ride in Ed's commanding officer's car because the silver suite of armor was too big to fit in the back of the car Ed and their childhood friend would be riding in. Colonel Roy Mustang was Ed's commanding officer. The man always had a knowing smirk on his face his black hair sat messily on his head while his midnight blue eyes held a sort of knowledge and pain in them. Ed watched as his brother's armor got into the back of the car next to a man with short dirty-blonde hair and an unlit cigarette in his mouth, Lieutenant Jean Havoc.
'It's just a simple training inspection in the east. You'll see him as soon as we reach the base,' Ed thought to himself as he waved to his brother. Mustang had been selected to inspect a military base near the Xing Boarder. It was a fairly routine inspection and the Colonel of course had to bring some men with him. The Elrics had just returned from their latest search for the stone and had ended up coming along. Ed's Automail had also been acting up since they got back, so they had called Ed's mechanic and child hood friend, Winry, to come to East City and look at it before they left.
At that moment a girl with Lemon-blonde hair and piercing blue eyes bounded up behind Ed, "Come on Ed. Mr. Hughes says we have to leave now." Her voice was filled with excitement as she spoke. It could only be expected though since she ended up coming along as well. A famous Automail mechanic happened to have his main workshop at this particular military base. When Winry had found this, she had commanded that Ed bring her along with them. That was the reason that Al had to ride with Mustang. So, that there would be enough room for Winry in the car.
Ed sighed looking back once more at Mustangs car he followed Winry over to Hughes's car. Getting in the car Ed turned his attention to the driver a dark-haired man with slick backed hair and rectangular glasses smiled at him.
Maes Hughes suddenly wiped a photograph out of the pocket of his jacket. "Ed you look upset, so here is a picture of my darling Elicia to cheer you up," he said joyfully shoving the photo into Ed's face.
Ed grinned uncomfortably at the dotting father. "That's great Hughes" 'Hopefully this ride won't last too long,' Ed thought as the car left the lot.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Roy Mustang stared out the window of his car. Rain and lots of it showered outside the window. They were barley an hour out of Central before it started to pour. 'Rain why did it have to rain,' he thought as the rain fell steadily on the window. Rain made him feel well useless, (A/N: I had to put it in.) since his alchemy didn't work when his gloves were wet. Thunder clapped over head and lightning flared, the rain was falling so heavily now that they could barley see Hughes's car that was driving in front of them. Because of this small little fact he was slammed into the windshield when Riza hit the brakes.
"What the hell," Jean yelled from the back seat. Roy rubbed his sore head looking to make sure everyone was okay.
Alphonse leaned over the seat, "Um... Colonel Mustang why do you think they stopped."
"I don't know, Al. But I'm going to find out. Hawkeye, Havoc, stay in the car this should only take a second."
The other two solders nodded as Roy got out of the car pulling his black coat tightly around him. Squinting through the rain Roy noticed two other figures in front of Hughes's car. One of them was wearing a bright red coat no doubt, that was Fullmetal. The other wore a black rain coat similar too his own. That had to be Maes. Roy made his way over to them. "What the Hell Maes, we almost rear ended your car," Roy questioned. He was about to step in front of the man when Maes's arm went out in front of him.
"Don't step any farther. It's a long drop Roy."
Roy looked quizzically at the man before he realized what he meant. Through the rain he could see that the bridge over the river was out.
Maes turned to Ed, "Can't we just fix it alchemically?"
Ed shook his head his long blond hair sticking to his face. "No, we can't. I can't see the other edge of the gorge, so I don't know how long a bridge to transmute. Also what if part the bridge is still there?"
Roy nodded his head, "He's right Maes. Without those key elements we won't get across this bridge. It's also getting late. We should probably find someplace to sleep and get out of this storm."
"I saw the gates to a house a mile or two back. Maybe they'll let us stay for a while."
"Alright, Maes, lead the way."
Getting back into the car Roy explained the situation to Riza, Jean, and Alphonse. Following Maes's car they went to the house Maes saw. Large iron gates stretched out in front of them as they drove through the gate. The house was a huge country mansion. Whoever lived here really had money to spare.
Jean whistled as he got out of the car. Roy shook his head at his subordinate's country boy behavior. Running to the front porch the group reunited with Maes's group. The two teens that rode with him were sopping wet.
"Really Fullmetal, you think you could keep such a sweet young lady dry. I'm sorry for His idiocy miss Rockbell," Roy said gently kissing Winry's hand.
A light blush appeared on Winry's face, out of the corner of his eye Roy could see that Ed was leering at him. "Let's just get inside and out of this damn rain," Ed growled.
Maes appeared beside Roy, "No ones answering the door and the doors locked."
Roy was about to suggest they sleep in the cars when he heard a click. Everyone turned to see Riza standing next to an open door. "It doesn't seem locked now," she said entering the house.
Maes stared dumbfounded in front of the door. Then he followed the rest of the group into the house, all while muttering something about that not being possible. The house had furniture coved in sheets making it painfully obvious that the house was abandoned.
"Let's go and find some supplies. This place must have something we can use in it," Roy said his commanding nature taking over.
Alphonse stood near the door and looked around something didn't sit right with him. Ed looked over at his brother, "You ok, Al?"
Looking down at his older brother the suite of armor shook his head. "No I'm fine. It's just that something about this house just doesn't sit right with me."
Ed shook his head and let out a laugh, "Come on Al. It's just a house."
"Yah I guess you're right." Al let out a laugh thinking it was stupid. Why should he be afraid of a house it was just silly. However, if that was the case then why at this moment did he fell like something was about to go horribly wrong.
Well I hope you all liked it. I will accept all types of reviews. I really want to know how I can improve with my writing and anything that seems wrong I'll change. I'll also try to update this story monthly or sooner depending on how much free time I have. (Homework, play practice, and a job affect my writing.) Oh I forgot to mention in the first authors note the title of the story Get Out Alive was inspired by the song by Three Days Grace. I thought the song fit with the plot for my story so I used it. So anyhow please review the story.
