Unexpected Gift

Here is a story for my friend FullmetalFan16! You are a great insperation. So enjoy this story and for all you read please review. Thanks! :)

My name is Athena. I just turned sixteen today. My mom works with automail. She makes them for people who have lost limbs and sometimes she makes them for animals. My mom's name is Winry. She is super cool and is always there for me. My dad on the other hand is always gone. He never shows up and yet my mom and Uncle talk about how great he is. If you were to ask me my dad is the worst person in the world. But when I always think my mom is ganna cry she doesn't. She is really strong.

I work for my mom making automail. It can be tricky at times but I pull through. No matter how much I want to use alchemy I don't. I have to work hard like my mom.

Oh that's right one thing I can thank my father for is alchemy. If it wasn't for the stories they told me and the books he left for me and my Uncle I would be the alchemist that I am.

"Athena? Are you in here?" I heard my mom yell as she walked into the shed. I was working on an arm for her that she needed tomorrow.

"Yeah. Right here." I told here. SHe was somewhat of a scatter brain but she was the best mom I could ask for.

"Oh good you are almost done. I was just wanting to see your progress. Oh and to tell you happy birthday." She said with a big smile. She always gave me more then enough attention.

"Thanks mom. So when is the pain coming?" I asked. She understood who I was talking about. And that put a big smile on her face.

"Mustang and the others will be here around lunch time. Besides he might have changed. He is in the millitary now." She said and I thought to myself *yeah I would be too if you let me.* but I can't change that.

So I finished up what was need of the automail and headed for the house. I was on the porch when a man in a trench coat cme walking up. I looked at him, I had no clue who he was. But he might be someone who needs automail or something.

"Can I help you?" I asked as the man kept walking. He stopped when I spoke to him.

"Yes is Winry here?" He asked. He kept his face hidden and didn't look up. I gave him a stange look.

"Sorry she went to go get my birthday cake. May I ask who you are?" I said. He must have known mom from a long time ago. Back when she was a kid cause I have never met him.

"Can you tell her Ed droped by to see her?" The man asked me. When he said his name I had a feeling I should know it but from where. Then it clicked.

"Do you mean to tell me you are Edward Elric?" I asked him. I pray he say yes.

He looked at me and I could tell he was the one it the pictures that they showed me. I knew this was the Edward the they always talked about. I got off the porch and stood in front of the man. I didn't see my mother until after I hit him in the face.

"How dare you? You bastered go to hell." I told him and then ran to my room. How dare he show up after sixteen years. I want him to pay for what he did. But why did it hurt me to punch my own father.

Here it is my first try at Full Metal Alchemist. Hope it is good. Let me know what you think. :)
