We all thought it was only going to be Uncle Al and Aunt Mei, with my older cousin, Tristin that were going to arrive. But a few extra people, as in uninvited guests were at the door; right behind Uncle Al.
When my mom opened the door for us all to see, my dad's went wide with dread.
"Long time no see, Fullmetal," said a monotone man in a long blue military coat. His black hair wisped in the breeze, showing stray grey hairs.
"Mustang," my dad greeted bluntly, "It has been a long time. What the hell do you want?"
"Edward!" My mom exclaimed.
Mustang, who seemed quite calm almost chill, raised his hand to my mom as if she was trying to tell her that my dad's behavior is alright. Her eyes relaxed a little.
"It's alright Winry. He has every right to say that. Fullmetal, I will tell you my reason of coming to Resembool, but may we talk in private?"Mustang asked calmly.
"Fine; Leave your kid outside too. This is an adult matter," my dad said eyeing me sternly.
As the adults left, to discuss their secret business; I noticed Mustang wasn't the only person at the door. There was a woman; probably around the same age he was. A younger man maybe a few years older than me, with Mustang's sleek black hair, and intense eyes, stood there as well; along with half a dozen, navy blue, coated military personnel.
"Who is this guy?" I muttered to myself, as I peeked through the window wondering who the heck this is; and why he is here, on my birthday.
"My father, and the fuehrer of Amestris," Said a man's voice.
"Gah," I yelped, "Don't sneak up on me like that. I could've flung you through the wall."
A smile formed upon his face, "Do you always get startled this easily," he asked.
I glared at him with the same fury, that Brigadier General Armstrong gives her troops at Briggs.
He was actually taken back by how fierce my eyes were, for a sixteen year old.
I snuck a smile, walking away leaving him with that dumbstruck look upon his face.
I went into the room that was next to the one that the adults were talking in and pressed my ear against the wall listening. I heard my father and Mustang arguing. "Fullmetal, you may not be able to use alchemy, but you still are a state alchemist," Fuhrer Mustang told him, "So if you have a summons to Central, you still have to go, whether you like it or not."
"I understand that. But I will not bring my daughter. She will not become a Fucking dog of the military!" My dad yelled.
"Ed! Calm down," my mother said, with a cry from Dad following, " Mustang, why does my daughter have to leave? She doesn't need to get a body back, or to save the country; So why, or you'll get the wrench, fuhrer or not."
I imagined the fuhrer flinching, I escaped a laugh.
I'm assuming my mom heard me cause she spoke again, "Gen I know you're there, come in if you're going to listen anyway."
"You must be Gen. I'm Fuh-" Mustang began to say.
"I know who you are Fuhrer Mustang. Now tell me and my family why you need my father and I to be at Central, and what the hell is going on. Trust me when I say this , my mom means it with the wrench." I say interrupting him with the same fierce eyes, that I gave his son.
I thought he would react the same way as his son did; but instead he chuckled, " You're Fullmetal's daughter alright.
"Sorry...what?"
"Sir," It was the woman that arrived with them, she urged him to continue with why they're here, "We're on a schedule."
Mustang's face went serious again and did everyone elses.
"Someone's created a homunculus." He said suddenly.
My parents, Aunt Mei, and Uncle's Alphonse's faces all went white with scared, shocked faces.
A few moments later, my dad fell back into the chair, and punched the table next to him.
"Damn it," my dad yelled, "I thought this was over with!"
"Mom," whispered to her, "What's the big the big deal about a new homunculus?"
"They almost destroyed the country and killed quite a bit of close friends of everyone in this room," my mom whispered back.
My face when white as well, "Holy Crap"
"Dad, maybe I should go I've got the training and you're going to need my he-"
"No." My dad said suddenly.
"But-"
"Dad!"
"My answer is final. You aren't going and that's that. Your uncle and I alone are going to Central. You are staying home with Your mother, Tristin, and Aunt Mei."
"Bastard," I muttered under my breath.
My dad froze. "You don't know what you're asking, Gen. Now go into the we'll be in there soon so we can do cake when I'm done talking the Fuhrer. I'm sorry but this is the way it has to be."
I ran outside the house when the house screaming, "You stubborn stupid ass." As I ran I heard Uncle Al say to my dad Brother, "Stay and continue your talk with Mustang. I'll go and try to speak with her."
Not soon after, I found my Uncle Al sitting on the porch step next to me. "You know the real reason why he doesn't want you to go right?"
"He doesn't trust me." I say simply, "He doesn't think I can defend myself despite all the training I've had over the years."
"No! That's not it all Gen. We don't know how dangerous this particular homunculus is and who's behind its creation; and your father wouldn't forgive himself if anything happened to you too. Its himself that he doesn't trust. He's gonna want to dive in front of you to keep you safe. He just loves you too much; it's what daddies do "
I smiled a little, "Uncle Al, you're just a big softy and I know he love me," I then dropped the smile, "but I don't care, protecting family goes more than one way, and I want to help protect him too."
"Well you can't. He's not going to change his mind, like a bull he is; temper and all. I'm sorry Gen, but that's the way it got to be." he said before getting back up going inside.
"Well I won't either." I murmured once he was gone.
Hi, thanks for reading The Iron Maiden Alchemist. I know there's not much of it right now but it'd really help if you review it, like give me ideas or constructive criticism.(criticism that helps me the author to improve. Just in case there's some readers that don't know the definition) Yeah but seriously, I didn't think I'd get the amount of views that I have that quickly, so thank you guys so much.
