Hi guys, here for another chapter. Thanks to CressidaRene for the wolf idea.
Disclaimer: I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist. Enjoy!
I lean down and place my hands on the transmutation circle. It's coming to life underneath my hands, I can feel the power surging. The chimera are howling and cringing away from he light but I am basking it it. Edward will be the perfect chimera.
"Augh" I say as I wake up. My whole body aches and it feels like somebody is hitting my head with a sledge hammer. I try to sit up only to fall over again. I land on my butt and a sharp pain runs up my spine. I hiss at the pain. I turn to look at what I landed on. Its red and furry. I leap up in fright and back into the wall, pain forgotten in my adrenaline rush. The furry thing is gone. I turn my head to the side and its still there. I turn in a circle but it keeps running away. It's starting to get annoying now. I start chasing it around in circles. I catch it and pull it. The sharp pain hits me again. I look behind my back. It's connected to me at the base of my spine. 'What the hell?' I grab my head in frustration before I feel something furry their too. I run to the run down bathroom in the corner and look in the mirror. A golden haired boy stares back at me. But he has two sleek red pointy ears on his head. My ears. I reach for my human ears. All I meet is smooth skin. I turn to the side so I can see my back. A tail. Long and moving like a snake. I still and so does my tail. I'm a chimera. But how? A memory hits me. Tucker. I release a low growl and bare my teeth. There sharp, like a fox. I run away from the mirror and towards the door. It's dead locked but I just clap and lay my hands on its surface. Nothing happens. I try again. Nothing.
Damn it. Without alchemy I cant get Al's body back, I sit on the floor and try to think. I can't let Al see me like this. I'm not even human anymore. I have to leave for a while so I can figure out how I can get his body back. I get up and break the lock with my automail hand and I push it open and tip-toe out into the hall. I look out of the window, it's night time. Perfect. I run down the hall and out the door before Tucker can find me. I stop. Al will be worried. I climb up onto Tuckers roof and slide into Al and I's room. I grab a notepad from the table and write a note:
Dear Al, I'm sorry. Be safe.
I leave the notepad open on Al's bed and climb out of the window and up onto the roof. I feel my fox ears on my head poke up and swivel to try and detect sounds that could mean danger. Even though I can't use alchemy, these ears are pretty cool. I run across the roof and jump to the next. I keep going until I reach a abandoned warehouse. I jump through the window and land on my feet. This is really weird. I feel more alert and agile. I have perfect balance cause my tail even's me out. My hearing has increase so I can hear almost everything. I also have awesome eyesight at night.
I look around the warehouse. Looks like a old storage place. I kick out some boxes out of a corner and lay down on my side on some old sheet covers. I fall asleep thinking about how messed up my life is.
"Wake up Colonel or I'll have to shoot you" I hear as I snap awake and begin furiously scribbling my signature on the important documents. I hear a knock at the door. I grin as I look at Riza, she can't make me work when somebody else is here. She scowls at me.
"Come in" the door begins to open and the large metal form of Alphonse Elric peaks into my office.
"Hi colonel, I hope I'm not interrupting anything". Al says
"No, nothing important" I say with a smirk. Riza scoffs. "What was it that you wanted?"
"Um well, brother left yesterday and didn't come back". As al says this my humour disappears.
"Do you know where he went?"
"No. But he left this on my bed." Alphonse hands me a notepad with Ed's letter on it.
"What does Tucker say?"
"Not to worry, but I'm wasn't sure so I came here".
"Okay since he's not classified as a missing person yet, how about we go and search for clues at Tuckers house?"
"Okay" Riza and I grab our coats and walk out of the door with Alphonse trailing behind.
End of chapter 2. I hope you enjoyed It. Next chapter will be posted sometime within the fortnight, because I'm going on a holiday! Please R and R :)
God Bless,
