Chapter 4

A bit more of an explanation…

(A/N): Hey guys! Sup? Yeah I realized that Wolfen wasn't really using Alchemy, so I decided to add this in to explain stuff and to get used to writing Ed and Al. I am trying to see how I am most comfortable writing, so I change POV's all the time. Sorry about that. So, this isn't ALL the chapter is going to be about, there is definitely more! Anyways, thank you all so much for the reviews! You all make me happy and because of that, I will try to give you all a treat!

Enjoy!

*Wolfen's direct POV*

I could now be found wandering around the streets looking for the hotel the two boys would be staying at when my stomach growled loudly. I sighed. 'I seem to be doing a lot of that today.' I thought irritably to myself. It was now morning time and the sun was rising. It was actually quite beautiful, but the city setting ruined it with all the hubbub going on.

"Hey! Momma, play with me! Momma!" A young child's voice caught my attention, as did his mother's. I turned to look at the exasperated woman whose child was pulling on her skirt, two small hand puppets in his spare arm.

"Thaddeus, please, I can't play right now, I have to work!"

The boy, Thaddeus, frowned and whined.

"But whyyyyyy?"

The mother was obviously getting frustrated, so I stepped in.

"Excuse me?"

The woman whipped her head around to glare at me, but missed me by a few… feet, actually, before looking down to where I stood. She looked a bit surprised at my appearance, but I just decided to act confident and act like this was how I usually dressed. It's like in Doctor Who, if they think it's a part of your culture, they don't freak out over it.

I smiled warmly at her.

"Need a hand?"

The woman smiled at me, thanked me and told me to call her Mara before running off to where I assumed her work was. I sniffed. What kind of woman leaves her son with a stranger? Shrugging the thought away, I turned to the kid and grinned widely. "You wanted to play right?" Thaddeus nodded. "Well," I reached over and grabbed the little pig puppet. "Let's play!" Thaddeus grinned and grabbed his little wolf puppet and began to chase me down the street, laughing as I pretended to be a little pig named Paco and he was the oh, so terrifying big bad wolf.

Sometime later, I found myself at the boys house, building pillow forts (which were totally badass might I add) and having an all around fantastic time with the kid. It felt like hours before we finally were too tired to continue. We lay on the floor, just relaxing before Thaddeus asked me for my name. I froze. 'Should I lie?' I sighed, before I covered up my conflict with a smile. "Wolfen, Wolfen Noth." I winced internally.

Thaddeus gasped.

"Wolfen!? As in a wolf? You should have been the wolf puppet then!" The little blond boy threw the wolf puppet at my face, causing me to giggle. The front door opened. "Thaddeus, I'm home!" Oh, his mother was here! I got up and walked into the kitchen where his mom was putting groceries away. "Hello ma'm! I cleaned up the mess we made and fixed up the living room for you, so… yeah. Goodbye!" That was true, I tricked Thaddeus into thinking it was a game of "Find the egg.", where we had to put things in the perfect place or else the tootsie roll queen wouldn't be able to thank the hero's for finding the heir to the throne. With that I turned on my heel and was about to leave when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned my head to look at Mara, who had a warm smile on her face. "I didn't get to give you your reward! Thank you for taking care of my son; he is such a handful sometimes!" With that, she took my hand and placed a fair amount of money in my hand.

I grinned widely at her. "Thank you!"

She laughed and waved me away as I skipped over to the door. "Bye Wolfen!" I heard. "Bye bye Thaddeus, see you again someday!" Out the door and into the day I walked. Wait, crap! Judging by the time it was now, The two brothers and Major Armstrong would be headed to the train! I had seen the station a few hours before I met the kid, so I knew where to go. As I ran to the station, I hoped that the trio wouldn't notice me, recognize me, or anything that had to do with me in general.

I then realized just how lucky I was. I have money for the train! Awesome!

After I paid for the tickets, I walked in and almost immediately spotted my targets. Who could miss Armstrong's sparkles? They were fabulous!

…

I started to walk into a crowd of people getting into the train, but when I looked to see if they had noticed me yet, I could have sworn I saw Armstrong look my way. I quickly tried to recover and act like I was looking for someone else. They boarded the train and I breathed a sigh of relief. The crowd I used as cover took no notice of me as they shuffled towards the doorways in the train, the people behind me pushing me into the same cart as the two Alchemists. I almost panicked, but schooled my features over and walked calmly, if not a tad stiffly, up the steps. 'Holy crap,' Was my first thought when I ventured inside. 'It looks just like in the anime!' I walked in a bit further. I saw a seat diagonal to theirs and was about to sit down when some douche grabbed my butt, causing me to yelp in shock. His buddies cracked up as I turned to face him. By now, I had attracted much unwanted attention, though Edward paid me no mind thank god.

The douche bags were now doubled over, their sleazy appearance making me grimace before I asked them in an annoyed tone "Is there something you need?" The douches just grinned stupidly. "Yeah actually," spoke the one who groped me. "Why don't you come over here and-"He didn't get to finish his sentence as I had raised my leg high up (Thank God I took dance class!) and struck him with my heel. The sleaze bag was knocked out and his "friends" quickly fled the scene, leaving him where he was on the floor.

"Dick." I muttered.

I finally made it to my seat and all attention seemed to leave me. Though I could feel someone watching me, it was starting to freak me out. Looking up, I glanced around and found Armstrong was the one watching me. He was watching me warily, as I did him. He was actually one of my favorite characters, but right now, not so much.

He looked away! Yes!

I felt myself getting tired, so I laid down on the seat and felt sleep take me.

Opening my eyes, all I saw was white, so I knew exactly where I was. Curious as to why I was here, I glanced around looking for Truth. Finally I spotted him and trotted over.

"You're late."

I rolled my eyes.

"That's how you greet people? No wonder you don't get many visitors!"

Truth sighed.

"I need to explain some things, Wolfen."

The way he said my guise name, I felt an odd sense of wariness. I think…

"Am I in trouble?"

Truth sighed again.

"No, I just need to make sure you understand a few things. That's all."

I breathed a sigh of relief and sat down, motioning for him to continue.

"First things first, you have to keep calm and not go crazy with my power, all right? I helped you eith Scar, but you need a bit more self control on your own."

I nodded.

"Good. Now, you don't need to rely entirely on my power. You do have a good amount of alchemic power; you just need to find it. I will give you a hint. It's air. You are a Gemini, and since you are a great example of one, your powers are the same as a Gemini's would be. Got it?"

I grinned wickedly and nodded.

"Good. Now, Armstrong suspects you may be a threat and/or following them, which you are. You should ease his worries, but don't get too caught up with them until you get to Resembool. Understood?"

I nodded again.

"Now, you can contact me through the "Infinity Stone" and I can assist you so you don't die. Off with you now!"

And then I woke up. I yawned, stretched and looked over to the pair's seat. Phew, thought they left me! Heeding Truth's words, I rose to my feet and padded over to them. Armstrong visibly tensed. I gulped. Damn he was scary like that!

As I neared them, Ed seemed to notice his discomfort and asked what was wrong, turning around to see-

Crap.

He recognized me.

Well, surprise, surprise!

Edward's eyes widened in recognition. I stopped when I stood next to Ed's seat, grinned, and held out my left hand to the one armed boy. He seemed to analyze me from head to toe (literally) before reaching out with his own left hand, and grabbing mine in a firm shake.

He was still watching me when I pulled away and switched hands to shake with Armstrong, who seemed to wonder why I was here, before he took my hand in a frighteningly strong shake. I was about to introduce myself when-

(A/N): Cliff hanger! I know! I always wanted to try one, so now's my chance! Also, are there any Alphonse fans out there? Well, if you have any ideas as to how I can get another character inside, let me know! I like to hear other people's thoughts, its fun! Anyways, review!
