Welcome to chapter 3 of Chancing the Storm! YAY! It's here~ Joy.

Any way I won't make the authors note impossibly long, so enjoy and read the authors note at the bottom!


"…Why are you following me?" Ed began. Anna laughed nervously.

"Well you're a famous alchemist. I really admire you and your alchemy. I just thought I would help you out and be a guide or something." Anna grinned while scratching her head. Ed looked at her with surprise. No one had ever done something like this for him before. He shook his head and continued down the street. He stopped as soon as he realized he had no idea where he was going. Ed glared at nothing when he thought this.

"Anything wrong, Ed?" Anna asked brightly. Ed grumbled, I mean, how could anyone be so cheerful when it was so cold out? He sighed and turned to face the teenage girl who was with him.

"Could you tell me where the Yelite Military Compound is?" Edward asked, annoyed that he didn't know his way around. Anna brightened up when he said 'Yelite Military Compound'.

"Oh yes! Of course. It's a good thing you ran into me and not someone else. I mean, sure Amestris and Drachma have finally come to a truce and all but some of the higher ranking officers still don't trust - or particularly like – people from Amestris." Anna explained. Ed nodded; he knew what she was talking about. There had been some soldiers from Drachma visiting Central not too long ago and they glared at everyone they came in contact with.

"You know if you don't mind me asking, why were you in the Resource Center?" Anna asked cheerfully. Ed gave her a look.

"It's the…Resource Center. What do you think I was doing?" He responded. She tilted her head, smiling. Ed raised his eyebrows after she hadn't responded for almost a minute.

"Hmm…I dunno. Sometimes I go in there just to talk to the workers." Anna said with a smile. Ed rolled his eyes and made a gesture for her to keep moving. She smiled at him and skipped forward to where the Compound was.


Sorry for such a short chapter. I felt like I just had to put something out. I was going to make it longer but I will try to make the next chapter at least 400 words! I promise I'll try! Anyways, review or I'll make Anna into a Mary Sue! Lol, okay no. I wouldn't do that but please review.
