The choice...

Why? ,why did I do it? ,why didn't I think before acting?. Because of me... It's all because of me. These are the thought's that were flowing through her mind. Every single minute she felt like she was getting closer to death,in that cold dark room. The door suddenly started to crack open and she saw a familiar face.

" Hello."

" Hmm? ,so your back again colonel Mustang." She got up and took a better look at him.

" What do you want here?. I already told you that I don't want to talk about what happened."

" I'm not here about the case."

" Then what do you want?." He pulled put a large stack of paper's from his brief case.

" What's that supposed to be ?."

" It's an adoption form."

" Hu?" She looked confused.

"If you are willing to agree I will take full responsibility for you. In simple words I wish to become your guardian." The colonel's lieutenant's couldn't help but get involved. They where more shocked then she was.

" Colonel what are you talking about?. Where did this come from?. Are you sure you thought this through?."

" He he he he he he your kidding right ?. Please like I would ever come with you. I appreciate your generosity but I don't need someone to take pity on me. It would be more generous if you just let me die. That's what I deserve." The colonel tightened his fist and gave her a good punch.

" You little BRAT!. Don't you dare think I'm doing this because I've taking pity on you!. I'm doing this because I can see that you have the ability to reach great potential and I'm not going to let that go to waste!. If you want to die go ahead and die, but I'm giving you the chance for something much greater here. You can forget all the dream's you may have had as a child or you can come with me make a new start by putting your talent to use." He let her go from his grip and left.

"I'll be back tomorrow morning. The choice is yours I just hope you make the right one."

She sat there in her room the colonel's word's constantly passing through her head.

" Could he have actually had a point ? .Maybe I should live ?. NO, NO ,NO I can't listen to him. I'm a murderer and I will always be one. No one can change what I have done. Not him and not me I deserve to die I DESERVE TO DIE!.

The next morning the colonel returned to learn her decision. Although he would not show it he was full of curiosity. He wanted to know what she was going to do .

" Colonel?."

" Yes lieutenant ?."

" It was very kind of you to take her in. But it didn't seem like you to do something like that. That's why we were surprised the other day is all."

" Don't worry I'm still the same guy that hasn't changed OK?."

" Yes Sir "

" Good , Come now let's go."

" Have you made your choice?."

" Yes, I have."

" Well?." Silence struck the room .

" You know colonel you are a strange man. To think someone like you who has a better reputation then anyone else in your rank would want to adopt a girl like me. Are you ill ?"

" Do we really need to go through this again?. I told you that I don't want to adopt you for political or social reason's. I want to do this because I know you are capable of much more .Now do you want to come with me or not?."

" Hm, OK fine, tell you what. I'll come with you but you have to promise me something."

" What is it ?"

" I'll tell you when the time come's. For now I just want you to agree."

" Very well then you have my word that I will keep this promise."

" Alright ,let's go before I start having second thought's." The colonel opened the door and they both left. Slowly walking down the stair's to his car. His first lieutenant was there waiting for him when they came out. The look on her face was very interesting. It wasn't one of anger nor of shock but it seemed like worrying and happiness at the same time. They got in the car and started heading towards the city.
