Chapter Three:

The Awakening

I woke up with my head hurting like hell. All I remembered was darkness but I know there was something before that….ENVY! How could I ever forget? Now that I've woken up completely I can see that they locked me up in this cell.

I stood up and searched this room for a way to escape.

Just at that moment (GAH, MY DAMN LUCK!) the metal door of the cell clang open and revealed Envy.

"I see that you've woken up." He said flashing that annoying grin of his.

"I see that you're still in that ugly form" I said with my arms across my chest.

I saw him grit his teeth in anger but unfortunately he maintained his cool. "Father wishes to see you."

"Well, you can tell him to fuck o-. " I was grabbed by my waist and hoisted up on his shoulders. "Damn it!!! Let me go, you bastard!!"

He just chuckled and continued walking towards this big opening.

"Envy, put him down." Said a deep, velvety voice which I assumed is Father.

Envy put me down all right. He put me down hard. "Be gentle Envy! What you see beside you is not just a simple, useless, silly girl but a weapon, a very useful and chaotic weapon."

"What do you mean 'A very useful and chaotic weapon' Old man?"

"In your dimension all of us here are merely anime characters in a manga called 'Full Metal Alchemist', aren't we?" Father asked me with his hands folded upon his lap.

I gulped. "Yes. What about it?" I asked even though I already knew the answer.

"Have you read all of it?" He asked suspiciously.

"No. I stopped at chapter 87."

"What a shame. But I think you know enough besides don't you have the rest of it in your USB that is in your pocket right now?"

I stepped back. How did he know about my USB and its whereabouts and what it contains? He shouldn't even know what an USB is. I underestimated him, big time.

"What are you planning?" I asked, eyeing him suspiciously.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm planning to take over this world with your help. I'm going to use your knowledge to win this war. Not only that but I think you'll be a great help to me by serving as what they call a 'good guy'."

"It's too bad I won't help, though." I said shaking.

"I agree…it is too bad. But I'll bet you will be a great sacrifice."

I can feel the curiosity taking over me. Not now please…not now. Control yourself.

"What will you even do when you've taken over this world? Your enemies are all dead and you rule a city of the dead. Nobody is in your command except for your precious homunculus." I knew I should've kept my mouth shut but I can't help but wonder.

He looked me straight in the eye and smiled. "You'll soon find out." Suddenly he gave me a funny look. He walked towards me and held my face up to his. "Hmm…" He said as he seemed to be checking something in my face. "You'll be the main ingredient in the special sacrifice I cooked up for you.

The word pedophile kept repeating in my head. Dirty Old man was another word that kept repeating itself.

My thoughts got interrupted metal crashing and a small blondie shouting in pain.

"Damn you Alphonse!"

I couldn't believe it. It was my idol standing just across the room. The famous Full Metal Alchemist…

Edward Elric.
