2. Chapter 2

Hi guys I'm Lucy and I'm sorry that the first chapter was really short. I really hope you guys like the story. Please review or PM me to tell me what I could do better this is my first fanfic. So without futher ado here's chapter 2.

The doors to the command center are closing as I run with all my might up the stairs. "Wait!" I shout. The doors halt and I slip through. I try to blend into the crowd as we walk to the room for the written exam. Yeah, I'm ready. I grab the glasses out of my pocket and put them on. I don't really need them but they're one of the thing from before I lost my memory. They help me focus, and I need all the focus I can get. A man in a blue military uniform passes out the test, which are much thicker than I had imagined. I poise my pencil at the ready. "Start!" the officer announces. The rest of the test goes by in a blur.

After the written portion I go on to the interview. It goes pretty much normal, they just ask me a few questions about myself. The Fuhrer seems interested when I mention my memory loss and glass eye. Odd. I don't like all of the people watching. I could feel their judgeful stares piercing me. Finally King Bradley dismisses me, with a satisfied grin on his face. Now onto the practical skills test. I feel prepared, I run the alchemy circle I created through my head. Unfortunately I'm last so I have to wait for a while for my turn. I stand in my spot picking at my uneven fingernails, and they say my name a few times before I realize that they are calling me. Taking slow, deep breaths I pull the piece of chalk out of my pocket. I still have no idea what I'm going to make the statue of. I draw the gliding curves and sharp edges of the circle. All of the other examinees are murmuring behind me. I feel a drop of sweat roll down my cheek. The elaborate circle is finally finished. I smack my hands on the cold, hard pavement and a flash of light illuminates the air around me.

The ground shudders and the statue begins to form. It's huge, towering above me even after I stand up. Everyone gasps with wide eyes at the thing I created. It depicts a crying girl in the arms of an angel, with hands grabbing at her feet. I realize that the girl is me. Tears burn in my real eye and the slowly drip down my face. I fall to my knees without saying a word. Two people dressed in blue rush over to me. "Miss are you alright?" one of them asks. "Yes," I tell her. "Perhaps you used up your alchemic power?" the other suggests. "No, that's not it, I'm fine," I assure them. "Take it easy, Ok." "Yes sir." With that they walk away and dismiss all the test takers. They tell us "One of you will be summoned back if you are chosen." I walk away from the command center, still thinking the about statue. Having nothing good at home to eat, I decide to go out.

By the time I get home it's past 10 and when I flop my tired body on my bed I almost instantly fall into sleep.
