Sunshine in My Eyes
Prologue
By: Kumiko-kun
The moon was shining in the sky as Riza walked past the large military office building. It was late at night and she was making her way from a trip to the market for a few things. Looking up at the building she saw that the lights in Roy's office where still on. She has thought the colonel had gone home a while ago when everyone else had gone. Watching the window, she saw a shadow flicker against the window, telling her that someone was indeed in that room. Sighing, she took a few more steps passed the building towards her home but something made her stop and look at the window again. This time, what she saw at the window shocked her enough to drop the bag she was carrying. Though she couldn't see it very clearly, it looked as if the colonel was sliding down the glass window, a trail of something left behind on the glass. The curtain was pulled back away from the window and a pair of deep red eyes bore down into Riza's own. Forgetting about her bag and the danger that could be up in the room, she made her way into the building, glad that she was still able to get inside. With quick feet, she managed to get to the door of the inner office. Staring at the door, she was suddenly aware of how foolish this was. She was without a weapon, without a way to defend herself if the attacker was still within the office. Taking a deep breath, she reached down and turned the door knob, pushing the door open as she did so.
There, on the floor behind the desk, she could barely make out the colonel's form slumped against the wall. Her hand covered her mouth as she gasped in horror. She ran over to his side and tried to assess his injuries but his hand reached out to grip her wrist.
"Riza…" He whispered his voice shallow and quiet.
"Colonel, what happened?" She asked feeling the grip he had on her wrist began to loosen. "Colonel…"
She watched in horror as the hand let go and she was left alone in the office with a dying man. Moving quickly, she couldn't afford to let the horror stop her from doing what was right. Riza had no idea what had happened in the office just moments before but was glad that she had taken this nice to go for food. Otherwise, she didn't really want to think of what might have happened if she wasn't there. She rang the Central Hospital and soon had someone on their way to the office building. Kneeling beside the colonel, she tried her best to find where all of the blood was coming from. As she leaned over him, she placed her hand gently on his chest and felt something wet. There, on his chest was where the weapon had entered but there was blood coming out from his back as well. She removed her jacket and laid it on the ground before gently moving the colonel to lie on her jacket, hoping that it would help with some of the bleeding.
Please, please someone get here soon, she thought to herself as she found a blanket to press against his chest, earning her a slight groan from the man. Just don't die on me!
It wasn't until the ambulance showed up and Riza stood there watching the men put him into the back of the vehicle that she truly began to let the fear sink into her system. She was allowed to sit in the back with the others on the way to the hospital. The paramedics assured her that they had him as stable as they could and stopped most of the bleeding but that had reassured little. She wanted to know that he would be okay. That his life wouldn't slip away from them and she would have to attend a funeral for someone she had grown to care for. Feeling the bumpy road beneath the ambulance, she placed her forehead on her hands and prayed to whoever was out there to not take him away.
This world needs him, she thought to herself as she felt the vehicle stop and watched the men take him away and into the hospital. She wanted to follow, wanted to make sure that he would be okay but she was kept back. A single tear slid down her cheek as she watched the bed being pushed away, out of her sight. Please, don't take him.
