I'm not sure if even half of the information in this is right so point it out so I can fix it. It's a brand new story so be nice.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal alchemist
The year was 1915 and in one of the little islands of Great Britain, rested an island called Sientio. The island was small and isolated, having only a small town, a chapel and a mansion on the farther outskirts of the town.
The people of the town didn't care much about electronics or cars or any of the new inventions outside their own little world. But they did gossip, as they still received newspapers from the ships that came for trade and goods.
There was so much going on in the world, the revolution of Russia, the beginning of America and a new world being born. Although sometimes the towns people loved to talk more about the sickly man in the mansion, than the events outside of the island.
The butcher said that the noble had always lived there, and never came out. The florist gossiped that the poor child's parents had left him to live on his own, while the children said that the man was a beautiful monster who would eat anybody that went near him.
The children would dare one another to knock on the huge door of the mansion and then would run off as soon as the door started opening.
One time a girl-Nina was dared to knock on the door. She knocked on the door, the sounds echoing in the mansion but instead of running off as the other children had encouraged she stayed and waited until the door was open. Kat was a very curious child at the age of ten and she wanted to see what was so scary about the person living in the mansion.
The door opened slowly, the hinges creaking and Nina gasped at the person in the doorway. It wasn't a child or a man yet, it was a teenager that looked to be about seventeen years old. He had blazing gold eyes, hair the color of golden wheat and sunshine that was down and reached the middle of his back.
He had a white silken shirt on; with black cotton pants and to Nina he looked like a prince or an angel of heaven.
The teen and child stared at each other for a couple seconds, assessing each other, gauging the others reactions.
The teen was the first to give in, giving an irritated sigh as he leaned against the doorway.
"What do you want?"
Nina stunned, looked down and stuttered, "M-M-M-May I k-k-know your name?"
The teen gave Nina a curious glance, looked towards the fields where the other kids were hiding and once spotting them gave Nina an irritated look, "Did those kids put you up to this?"
Nina almost shook her head no but when she saw the warning look that the teen gave her nodded yes.
The teen ran a hand through his sunshine locks, "you can tell them to stop ringing the doorbell all the damn time and to leave me the hell alone."
Nina stood shocked at the swearing or 'bad words' as the teen closed the door. Nina turned to walk away but the door opened a crack and the teen softly whispered, "My name is Edward Elric but you can call me Ed."
Then the door was slammed shut before Nina could give a response. She hurried down to the other children, excited about her discovery and told them what she had seen and heard. Although when she had told her father that night, he forbid Nina from going there again.
Nina didn't understand, Ed seemed like a good person just lonely, as she lay in her bed that night she decided that she would visit him again in two more days-just in case her father would be watching.
Ed leaned against the wooden door, surprised that he had even talked to the little girl but he couldn't help it …..unlike those other children who annoyed and irritated him beyond belief, the child reminded him of Alphonse when he was little. Curious, brave, and sweet, everything that was Al.
Ed buried his head in his hands, there was no time to think of things like that, so he headed up the right staircase and turned right, stopping at the second door on the left side of the hall.
He turned the knob about to enter but his right arm wouldn't move and his left leg seized up. Ed fell to the ground, lying on his side and tried to get back up but his limbs wouldn't move.
Not again. Please. Damn, this stupid disease-can't you just let me rest for one fucking day?
No answer.
Maybe I should have put somebody to live with me here. So I can avoid situations like this.
Ed sighed and closed his eyes, maybe when he would wake up, he would be able to move again.
Although he was afraid to sleep, sometimes dreams would bring up bad memories that he never would want to relieve again.
"Ed! Alphonse! Get back inside, it's time for dinner! Your father will be home today!"
Ed and Al dropped the worms in their hands as they race towards the mansion, both of them laughing and smiling.
Trisha-their mother frowned disapprovingly at the two boys.
"Now boys, didn't I tell you not to play with the worms again?"
Ed and Al gave each other guilty looks, Al quickly spoke up with a reason not wanting to get into trouble, "Mom, we were experimenting-see?"
Trisha looked towards where her boys had just played and smiled at the paper airplanes that they had made.
"and how did worms come into this?"
Ed scowled, "I wanted to use spike but Al wouldn't give him up."
Al gave a sound of protest, "Kitty wouldn't have survived! You know how she doesn't like heights!"
Ed stuck his tongue out at Al, "she's a cat. She's not afraid of heights and if she did fall, it would be on her feet like all cats."
Trisha laughed, startling the boys out of their argument, "Okay, go in and wash your face and hands real good, your father is going to be home in time for you to show him your piano skills and get tucked into bed."
Ed and Al ran inside as their mother closed the door behind them, as they ran towards the bathroom she gave them a shouted warning, "and Ed do not mix the shampoos this time!"
Ed grumbled from the bathroom, "it was an experiment and it was fun."
Al nodded, silently agreeing with his older brother. Trisha had heard the grumble but ignored it knowing that Ed had received the message and wouldn't do it anymore.
She headed towards the dining room and kitchen, she had already set everything up and the food was waiting on the table ready to be eaten. Three places were set but the table was big enough to seat at least twelve people.
Trisha hadn't wanted a mansion, she had wanted a house but her husband had convinced her. Although she put her foot down when he said that they should get some servants to cook and clean. Trisha was born as a merchant's daughter and Van Hohenheim was a noble-a lord. She was one day selling flowers when one day the handsome young noble had approached her, asked to buy some daises and handed them back to her, asking to court her.
Her father quickly agreed and the engagement between Trisha and James the farm boy was broken. Instead Trisha and Hohenheim fell in love and were married. The next year she had moved inside the mansion on the small little island of Sientio, leaving the country land on the outskirts of London and the year after had a child named Edward, then later on Alphonse.
Trisha had a hard time adjusting to the life of wealth but she made the best of it and even befriended a nice couple in town with their own little girl named Winry.
After dinner was finished, Trisha stood picking up her plate and then fainted, right in front of the boys.
They rushed out of the mansion looking for help and spotted their father, Ed had screamed and Hohenheim started running on the little trail.
Trisha was put into bed and Hohenheim sent for Pinako , the local doctor. Ed and Al stayed by their mothers side the whole time, and didn't notice when their father left and Pinako was left to watch over them. They never knew why their father had left but after two months, their mother had died.
A clash of thunder sounded and Ed woke up with a gasp. He shivered as he stood and jumped a little when another clash of thunder sounded. Ed opened the door that he had failed to before, entering his bedroom. Ed glanced out the window to see a flash of lightening in the sky followed by another clash of thunder.
He closed the door and headed towards his bed. His muscles protested as he lay down in it but he ignored them and pulled the covers over his head. Ed had the thought of having Pinako come and check on his condition but then abandoned the thought.
If she was to come by, then Winry would too and then they both would invite themselves to stay longer than necessary and the villagers wouldn't be so happy about that.
Ed opened the dresser drawer next to his bed and stared at the little white pills in the see through glass bottle. He probably should take some today, but the thought didn't stay long in his head and he put his head back down on the pillow, falling into the most restful sleep he had had since Al died.
The rain was pouring and the men from the ship that had just arrived on the little island, rushed for cover into inns and bars. One man casually walked, not in a rush, just observing the scene around him. The ship that was docking, wasn't any ordinary goods ship, it was a warship.
As the man, General Roy Mustang entered a pub he was bombarded with many questions from the townspeople. His uniform, looks and rank attracted attention. Roy motioned for the people to quiet down and the questions dwindled down to whispers and murmurs.
"I am General Mustang, I am from the small country of Japan, and am part of the Triple Entente. Right now we are in war against the allies. Your small town is not a big part of it but if any man wants to volunteer, they may do so."
The people clapped as so men raised their hands, and the women started whispering amongst themselves.
Mustang's voice rang out again, loud and clear, " They call this a world war but it is just a mere battle. My soldiers are here to rest for two weeks before we set out to battle. I hope we have room enough for everybody and we thank the kind people of this town for it's hospitality."
A soldier next to Roy tapped his shoulder and leaned in to whisper, "There are enough for the troops except for a couple of us, there's Armstrong, Fury, Havoc, Hawkeye, me and you."
Roy nodded, "Thank you Hughes."
One of the women overhearing the conversation pitched in with an excited voice, "There's room at the Hohenheim mansion, but it's occupied by the Elric boy-his son."
Another women snorted, "it's a monster living in there not Hohenhime's son and Hohenheim left the boy to fend for himself-see even his own father does not want him."
Roy gave a disgruntled glance at Maes and the rest of his team looked uncomfortable as well.
"Well, we'll look into it thank you." The women looked pleased and rushed off blushing.
Roy called the rest of his team and they left the bar, heading up to the mansion on the trail.
"Wait one moment!"
Roy froze, along with the rest of the group, behind them rushing up to them was an old short women with greying hair.
She stopped in front of them, short of breath, " Edward doesn't like company and he would probably refuse to house you so tell him that Pinako sent you and if he still doesn't let you in say that you will fetch me and then he probably would let you in. If the stubborn brat still doesn't let you in just come and find me, I'm the local doctor so you can find me at my house."
Roy started at the women, along with the rest of his group, "Okay, Ma'am we will thank you."
She stared at them for a second and gave a huff, "if I find out that any one of you have hurt Edward, there will be hell to pay. That poor child has been through too much."
She turned to go and then stopped as she added, "make sure he's taking his medicine and if he runs out send somebody to refill it."
Maes nodded, "we won't let you down Ma'am."
They had hurried up the trail, the rain making it muddy and hard to walk on but they finally arrived in front of the large wooden door. Roy raised his fist and knocked, once, twice, and four more times and waited and waited and waited. He knocked again but froze as the door creaked open to only show one golden eye.
"May I help you?"
Roy was taken aback with the annoyed voice but politely answered back, "Yes, we're soldiers and we need someplace-"
The door slammed shut.
Havoc chuckled, "the grandma was right."
Maes pushed Roy aside, "let me try."
He knocked and then yelled when there was no answer, "Edward! Pinako sent us! If you don't let us in we can go and-"
The door slammed open, and they all stared stunned at the teen.
Ed snarled, "She put you up to this, did she?"
No answer.
Ed sighed and then turned stomping away, when no footsteps sounded behind him he turned around and gave them an irritated look "what are you idiots doing standing out there like that? Come on in before I change my mind and leave your asses outside."
Roy and the rest snapped out of their daze as they stepped inside the large mansion. Havoc grinned as he passed by Roy, "Feisty little thing isn't he, General?"
Ed froze on top of the stair well as he turned around, "What the fuck did you just call me?"
The air crackled with tension and Havoc dropped the cigarette that he had just taken out and then pointed at Roy, "He said it!"
Okay, I hope everybody likes this and if you guys want me to continue, drop it in the review. Thanks!
