Chapter 2
Can I change life and death?
Ok did anyone think Kira at the end of that chapter? LOL I did but no this is not a cross over. Anyway in this chapter she will actually go to the FMA world, just like you wanted Rebecca.i do not own FMA. Please R&R.
Have you noticed it is so much easier to claim a life then to give a life? I noticed but still believed I could change it. There was an old magic grandpa told me about once he said it was ancient and everyone who tried it disappeared. What do I possibly have to lose? I've lost everything my grandpa was all I had left. NOW GIVE HIM BACK! I had drawn the sacred circle engraved into the rock outside in the yard with my fire and ice power so that the pounding rain could not wash it away.
The small words of the ancient language carved in blue ice the simple shapes that overlapped forming a large complicated symbol were burned into the concrete. It was hard for me to tell if the water on my face was from rain or my tears. I had placed grandpa in the center of the circle and prepared for the final step. I said the spell in the ancient language. I suppose if you translated it, it might go something like this.
Lives are given
Lives are taken
Give back his soul and return his might
Open the gate to the other side and show me his light
I froze as a cold wind blue and darkness surrounded me. Lighting flashed and I heard a loud boom of thunder. I had been told once that this spell was black magic, but I never would have guessed the consequences. Shadows crept in around me around the whole circle even. I glanced around fearfully and that was when I saw it, where my grandpa's body used to be was a dark colored monster. It was dripping in blood and let out a pain filled moan and reached for me.
"What have I done?" I cried out. Then everything went completely black as the shadows swallowed me whole. I couldn't see anything other than the empty darkness. I shut my eyes and heard a scream it took me a second to realize it was me. I opened my eyes to find everything that the shadows had once made black was now a blinding bright white. I was breathing heavily frozen in fear of what was to come.
"It's been a while since anyone from your world called me." I spun around to find that I wasn't alone in the endless sea of white. It wasn't human, not even close. Instead just like everything else here it was white the only thing that separated it from the rest was that it had a dark black aura emanating from it. It smiled and a row of perfect teeth appeared spreading across the whole side of its head.
"Who-who are you?" I stuttered trying me best not to let it see me shake.
"I'm so glad you asked."
It answered "I am truth. I am you. I am the world. I AM GOD!" I turned to see a large door bigger than anything I ever saw before. It swung open and revealed nothing but eternal blackness. Eyes opened in it and it showed me it was alive. Small hands reached from the open door they reached for me, I tried to run but they were too quick and grabbed me easily. I kicked and turned screaming as it pulled me into the nothingness. I shut my eyes but the hands pried them open. Then Lights, pictures, videos, people, speeches, knowledge, books, and sounds flashed in front of me wisdom cramming into my scull. It felt like I was going to explode like they were planting ingredients for a bomb into my head.
"Make it stop!" I screamed I tried to spray water from my hand but nothing happened. I looked down at my hand in shock. The blue birthmark was gone! My other hand was clean of its mark as well. Then as fast as it started it was over. In the blink of an eye, I was standing in front of the thing. "What do you want?" I asked in a shaky voice then I yelled. "What price do I have to pay to get out of here?"
It smiled again and said. "You have already paid your price, surely you have noticed by now." I slowly turned my head to my arm only to find it was gone! The pain came in an overwhelming wave and I screamed. The thing waved its hand and I felt as if someone pushed me and I fell backward into the gate. When I opened my eyes I was laying face up on the floor of an ally. The pain hit and I spun rolled over my arm was gone and I was a bloody mess. I was shocked and scared my powers were gone and I was too scared I couldn't talk. I stumbled down the street my path wavering from my blood loss. It was dark and raining.
Someone walked toward me a girl. But that was all I saw before I passed out. When I awoke I was in a hospital room. I was groggy from sleep but jolted awake when I remembered what had happened. I stared at my arm in amazement. In its place was a complicated piece of machinery I tried to move my hand to see if I was imagining it but it moved to! It was part of me it was my arm.
"Oh good your awake." A voice said I looked to see a girl with blond hair and blue eyes. There was a smug of oil on her cheek and a wrench in her hand. She had a green bandana on and was smiling kindly at me.
"Who are you?" I asked shyly I glanced at her hand to check if she had a water mark or a fire one. I gasped silently when I didn't see a mark at all.
"My name is Winry Rockbell, Automail mechanic."
"Automail," I asked "what's automail?"
"IT'S ONLY THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD! The feel of the oil, the grip on the screw driver, the beautiful metal," gear head, I thought. Then I backed up a little but staring at her and I thought. Who is this girl? Where am I anyway? I looked out the window and didn't recognize anything. Eventually she finished and turned to me and said. "What's your name?"
"Um… Isabel." I said shyly
"Well Isabel what did you do?" she bent over me and began to tighten a few screws in the arm. "When I found you, you were weary from blood loss and I can't imagine what you did, that could actually make you lose a whole arm. It was just like Ed's." she looked at me for a second then dismissed an idea and there was a moment of silence, before she asked quietly.
"Isabel, have you ever heard of something called alchemy?"
"What?" I asked.
"Alchemy it's some type of science. I think you clap your hands and get anything of equivalent exchange, or something along that line. I can't use alchemy myself but 2 of my friends can." She stopped polishing the piece of metal she had in her hand and stared out the window into space she said. "They have been through a lot, and are in a tight spot right now but they'll find some way out of it. They always do." She turned cheerily back to me. "So where are you from?" snap I thought I had no story what was I going to tell her. But thankfully she listed off some places.
"Are you from Ishbal?" the girl asked
"Umm… yea," I replied nervously, what if she finds out I used dark magic? How much trouble would I get into in this world?
"Funny you don't look ishbalan. All of the ishbalan's I've seen have red eyes," she looked at my face and said, "You have really pretty green eyes." busted I thought
"I'm sorry not Ishbal my bad I meant…" I looked out the window lucky there was a man reading a map. Most of the words were too small to read but I made out to words and I said the easiest one to say. "Xing,"
"Oh," Winry said there was a moment of silence and then she said. "Well you're all set. It will take a while to get use to the arm but you can go." I asked
"Are you sure, free?"
"Of course," she replied "If you're from Xing your probably need to save your money anyway, after crossing that desert."
"Yea desert," I said I stood and bowed deeply and said sincerely "Thank you"
"Really it's no problem. I had it in back because I thought it was special but it's better on you." I thanked her again and began to leave. As I left I passed a man.
"Is the arm I ordered done? You know the special one?"
"I'm so sorry," Winery said. "I finished it and put it in back but it's gone now. I must have misplaced it."
After that I felt insanely guilty.
