Slowly these chapters are getting bigger, I really don't like small chapters. Again I love reviews so please do review!
She awoke with a jump, she could hear banging from the kitchen. She sat up, Ed was already out of bed after last night she thought he wouldn't get up. Getting dressed she went into the kitchen, there she found Edward cooking breakfast. He looked up when she came in.
"What do you want? The kids have already had eggs and bacon." She blinked, he seemed fine, yet his voice was on a slight edge. "Umm... I guess I will just have a egg and some toast." She sat down as he put the food on her plate. "Thanks." She mumbled into the plate. He was still acting weird and wasn't looking her in the eye. "Have you already had something?" He looked up from the cooker. "No. I am not hungry." He went back to cooking. Right something was wrong, he was always hungry. She looked over at their children, Kerensa and Kin. They where gobbling down their food without a care in the world.
"Your food is getting cold." She jumped, Ed was watching her. She picked up the fork and began to nibble some of the egg. He frowned, and went to wash up the kids dishes.
"Can we go out?" Kin asked, loudly. "We wanna go see the baby cow in Joe's farm!" "It's so small and cute!" Kerensa giggled. She was very small and shy, usually overshadowed by her noisy older brother.
"Sure, just don't go anywhere else." She said while scraping the half of her food into the bin. She watched them run out of the house and turned to Ed. "Are you okay?" His face was covered by his hair. But his grip on the plates tightened. "Ed?" He shook his head and looked up at her.
"I am fine." He didn't look it though, he had large rings under his eyes and was pale. "But last night. you-" He dropped the plate on the floor, letting it smash on his automail foot. "I said I am fine." With that he grabbed his coat and shoes and left her alone in the kitchen. "Edward..."
Riza stretched her legs, she had been walking around all day, doing work for her lazy husband. He was meant to be the fuhrer so why did she always end up doing his work? Flopping onto her chair, she checked the paperwork on her desk. At least she got to sit down now. Then her secretary popped her head in. "Someone is on the phone for you, with the last name Elric?" Riza looked up, Edward? What did he want, he never phoned the military. He left as soon as Alphonse had returned to his body.
"I'll take it, thank you Yin." She smiled and left, shutting the door behind her. Riza waited until she was sure she was gone. Whatever Ed wanted it had to be something big to call her at work.
"Hello? Who is this?" She asked, fidgeted with her too short military skirt. "Ah! Is this Riza Hawkeye?"
"Winry, is that you? We haven't spoken in a while. Whats wrong?" It sounded as if she was... crying. "Is everything okay?" She could hear Winry trying to calm down, breathing slowly.
"Riza, I need help. It's Edward. He- he has been so out of it. I dunno what is wrong with him. I can't get to Al, the phone lines to Xing are down again and the post takes to long. I would go to Xing to find him but I have the kid's and I can't look after Ed as well." She was full out crying now. "Please can you ty and contact Al or can you or Mustang help? I don't know what to do any more!"
"Slow down Winry! What happened?" She waited for her to stop crying.
"Okay, it started a week and a half ago now. Ed was fine, but then he just freaked out or something. I don't know why though. Since then he has been depressed and out of it. He blocks me out when ever I talk about it and if I mention Al he get really worked up. Last night he couldn't sleep he just sat there staring at the window. When ever I tried to get near him he would yell at me." She was crying again but she carried on. "He fell asleep a few hours ago, but he was having nightmare's he kept screaming and kicking out. When I woke him up he.." Oh, Edward what have you done this time. Winry was trying to speak again but she couldn't understand what she was saying
"Shhhh.. Don't worry Winry, me and Roy will get down there as soon ad we can and we will get word sent to Alphonse for you."
"What? A- are you sure? I mean Mustang is Fuhrer, he must be busy. J- just make sure Al knows whats going on. Please!" Her voice was cracking again and she began crying once more.
"Don't be stupid, we are getting the first train there. We should make it by tomorrow. Please try to keep a watch on Edward until then. Don't let him out of the house." She heard Winry gasp.
"T- to late, he ran off. I have everyone looking for him but- we can't find him! Please come soon!"
"Shhhh, okay you try and find him and I will get down there now. Okay?" "Yes, thanks a lot Riza. Really." She sniffled and hung up. Oh man, she better find Roy and tell him whats going on, and get a letter to Al.
"Yin!" She called her secretary. "Can you please get Mustang here?" Yin looked like she was going to object but then saw Riza's face and realized she was not taking no as a answer. "We need to get on the next train to Resembool."
I can't wait for Roy to come in, I really want to do his POV. Some other notes, their children are Kerensa and Kin. Kerensa is a old english name and means love, and Kin is gold in japanese.
