Beyond the Gate
I never thought much on the past. I never looked back on it either. I was once a nice normal everyday person. I had a job where I worked in the café part of the book shop. I washed up in the café and sometimes I was asked to put the books that have been priced up on the shelves in their right places. Horror with horror that sort of thing. I was lucky that our shop had someone who put the books in order for us. All we had to do was sort though them, by the author. Now I know you're thinking that this story is boring and so far it is. I am just telling you a bit of my life before I disappeared. How did this happen you say? I shall get to it soon enough and then maybe you will think twice about what I did and maybe you will not make the same mistake I did.
I had a boyfriend as well. His name was Tomoya. He came from Japan and moved to England. Yes that is where I live in England. In a little village called Hextable. It is in Kent if you want to know. So like I said I lived a normal everyday life. I got up went to work sometimes I went out with my boyfriend. Life was easy for me I was not very pretty just average and I liked that about me. I was kinda slim but that was due to me walking everywhere. This also would include to work and back. I never did tell you my name now did I? Well I guess I should tell you a bit about me, like my name age and what I like to watch and a few things I like to do.
My name is Melody Rose Black. I have an illness called thermalitis. This can be seen and found on my medical tags. The illness is not too bad but I can overheat and feel pain due to it. On my medical tags for fun and also due to the fact alone that I didn't want to put a phone number, is a title that reads Magical Alchemist. I have light brown hair and blue grey eyes that have a golden ring round the black of the pupil. That is my most strange thing about me. I am 27 years old and was born on October 31st 1986
The year before I left was 2013 it was the 1st of August and a very warm day. My boyfriend had said he would pick me up when I got off work. I knew we would go back to his place and watch some anime. I love anime my best one being a three way tie between Naruto, Bleach and Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. I didn't mind the first anime of Fullmetal but I liked the brotherhood anime better. When we would be done with watching anime we would either do one or three things. We would make love, talk or we would go out to eat or eat in by me or him cooking and having a late meal. All normal stuff so far and this would be the thing I would miss the most.
Just like he said he would Tomoya come by where I worked just as I was all done for the day. The time was 5pm I had been at work since 9am I had taken the longer shift as I needed the money to pay the rent of my little one bedroom flat if you could call it that. It was more of a bed sit. He pulled up in the car park that was nearby. I could see him walking up to the door as I was putting my apron into my work locker. I met him half way. We hugged and he kissed me gently yet it was a quick kiss that showed somehow how much he loved me. From there he walked me to his car and opened the door. His car was a red Toyota with black leather heated seats.
We soon came to his flat which was about a block from where my flat was. We got out and went inside. It was not long before we started to watch one of the many anime. Tomoya put on one of the episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. It was the episode where Scar first tries to kill Ed and Al. I had seen it all before but I loved the show a lot just like Tomoya did. Once we had watched the episode I had put on the computer that Tomoya had, on and found a picture of a human transmutation circle. I then printed it out a silly idea in my head as I did this.
"What are you doing my little magical alchemist?" Tomoya called out to me. I should say that is my nick name he gave me due to the medical tags. I looked back and smiled at him before saying anything.
"I am just thinking about Fullmetal alchemist brotherhood. I was thinking we could do a human transmutation but not a real one. Just for fun I know it won't work but it would be fun to do"
He smiled at my silliness but nodded none the less. He got a pin and let me prick my finger just so it would bleed a little. The blood went onto the paper that had the silly and strange circle used in the anime that we both seemed to love. Tomoya however never joined in with what I was doing. He was just watching and then he said, "I am going to be Roy Mustang and tell you off if a body falls out of nowhere. Just so you know I have cosplayed him before. I think you should cosplay as Hawkeye."
Now I don't know why but I laughed I could not see him with Roy's personality. It would be just too funny. He looks a little like Roy only his skin has more of a tan then Roy's pale skin. Also Tomoya's eyes are brown not black like Roy's eyes are. If he was to act like Roy he would be stopping me now. I clapped my hands like Edward did and placed them on the human transmutation circle. Just like I thought nothing happened. I laughed as I waited but soon got board and took my hands away. I walked back to where he was trying to not laugh but he was failing.
We kissed and had something to eat. I cooked this time round and when we had ate the food and he washed up, only then did I leave his and headed home. By now it 10pm I had no work tomorrow as tomorrow was my day off. Or at least I thought it would be my day off. This had been my last day in this world. Tomorrow without me really knowing it I would not wake up in my room. I would not be going to the meet up in the park with my friends dressed up as a Naruto character. No I would not be in this world by tomorrow. If only I knew that if only I knew that what I did with the human transmutation circle and my blood I would have never did it. I had taken the paper that held that silly human transmutation circle and my now dried blood on it. I took it home with me to put up as a bit of fun.
Once in my flat I placed the paper on my table that was near my bed. I turned on the kettle to make a mug of tea. Once I had my tea I began to unwind and relax even more then before. I looked at my poster of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. It was the one that had the whole group both the good characters and the bad ones. I had put it up on my wall near my bed on the wall so I could see it. My friends had said I was silly having something that looked so much like a teenager would have up or a little kid. But I had always laughed. Once I drank my tea and put the mug in the sink to clean for tomorrow. I got into bed the lights turned out. I lay my head down closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep. I had forgotten to take my medical tags off.
I had changed however into my blue shorts and Naruto ninja underwear (top part) As well as a little bit on the big side white top that went with my bleach cosplay outfit. This was my sleeping clothes for hot weathers. It was hot but that made me sleep all the more. And due to this I had not notice that the paper had started to glow or that I was fading as in going transparent then vanishing altogether. The only thing that even said I had made it home was my door keys hanging up and my trainers by the door along with my summer jacket. As well as the messy bed and unwashed mug in the sink.
Other then that no one would have known I had made it home. That was the last time I had been home. Last time I had got into bed. I often wonder if Mum and Dad are looking for me. If my boyfriend is worried and also looking for me, maybe he has broken down like how Roy broke down when he was trying to kill Envy. Or if they have came to think I had died or ran away. I miss them still to this day, if only I never picked my finger and put blood on the human transmutation circle that I had printed off the internet. I would still be home seeing my family and friends. Spending time with my boyfriend. But life is always unknown and can be at times I have found to be rather cruel. And so this is where my story begins.
Omake:
Truth sat there with the grin it seemed to wear. Truth was the one that had allowed the foolish human girl into a new world but not until something is taken from her. This something would be at a very high price as the girl was a fan of both the Fullmetal Alchemist and the brotherhood one. Truth would place the foolish human into the brotherhood one knowing it was more dangerous as Truth was creating more dangers in that world.
The brotherhood one would follow the same plot as the anime but would not be starting for a few years yet. It was only on the girl that Truth had taken world that both the anime and the manga as those humans had called them held the story that Truth had wanted them to make. It was really his plans on it happening in that world. However there would be changes in that world and the girl would be there to find out how much the change would be.
The girl faded into the whiteness that was always around. Truth looked at her and he had known what to take and what to give.
With that Truth was very happy as he placed the sleeping girl into the new world into a place that was ripe with war and danger for any child and any adult. He left the fact she still had her 27 year old mind but would not know her age. He had gotten the idea for that by looking at her tags that she wore round her neck. Truth had noticed that the tags never said what year she was born. This was great for his plans. And he did all this while she was sleeping. So she would never know that they had already met in a sense only she was asleep when it had happened.
So tell me what you think of this. I plan to make this story work and have one person helping me with it. But I would like to know what you think of it as well.
