Star's Flashback
Star's POV
(Star is 4 yrs. Old)
"Mom, Dad, I'm back!" I looked around. Huh that's weird. All the lights are off. Mom would have dinner ready, and dad would have been taking a nap on the couch, by now. But I don't smell anything and I don't see dad. This doesn't add up at all. "Dad, Mom? Where are you guys?"
I heard mom yell at Dad in their room. "Star! Oh no. Honey, they're coming and we forgot about her!"
"Don't worry. We can hide her under the bed."
"Don't worry? This is the perfect time to worry."
"You may be right, but we have to be brave in front of our daughter. Right?"
I made my way into the room. I had no idea what to expect. When I saw them they were standing, rigidly, in the middle of the room, just staring at each other. As if they were communicating with each other.
"Mommy, Daddy, what's going on?" I was worried. They never acted like this before.
Mom sighed in agreement with dad."Come dear. We have to hide you. Just don't worry too much, and don't come out until they are gone." I could see that she was really worried, though she tried to hide it.
"But mom who is 'they'? And why do I have to hide?" I was terrified, my body said that I should listen to my parents, but my mind was too confused to move and hide. I could tell that my parents were scared, and that whatever scared them was truly evil, because my parents were the bravest alchemists that I have ever known.
"Go hide under the bed baby girl." Dad had to give me a slight push to move. His voice sounded like...like he just gave up everything that he had ever loved in his whole life. And Mom's expression on her face was…well it looked lost, broken, numb, depressed, and terrified all in one look.
"Mommy, Daddy, you guys know I love you right?" I said with tears in my eyes. I didn't know what was going to happen, but I knew that these words that I spoke, had to be spoken.
"Yes. We know that dear. And we love you too. But it's time to say good-bye, for good." Mom held my hand for a split second before she let go. My eyes widened as she said those words.
Those were the last words that I heard my mom say before 'they' came and all too soon took my parents lives before my eyes. I watched as 'they' murdered my parents, I watched as 'they' left my mom and dad on the ground, but I did not watch as 'they' left, because my tears overflowed. 'They' did not show themselves in direct light.
I couldn't hold myself back. My heart broke. I would never see my dad's smile again, never hear my mom's lullaby's, never see them happy, and I would never feel their warmth as they hugged me. Never again would I see them.
I cried for hours. I cried until the sun came up. I wiped my tear-streaked face, and got out from under the bed, and ran out of the house, ran to the train station. I had no idea what I was doing, or where I was going, all I knew then and there was that I had to get out of this town.
This small town of Resembool would remind me too much of them, not to mention that all the towns people would feel sorry for me. Plus, Ed, Al, and Winry would never treat me the same.
I only had enough pocket money to get on a one way trip to a random city near central city. I didn't care where I was going.
The conductor asked me why my parents/guardian wasn't with me. I simply replied that I was going to visit my aunt in central city, and that I had permission to from my parents. He just looked at me, punched my ticket and left. That was a lie, I had nowhere to go to. When the train started moving, I looked back at my house and vowed that no matter what that I would get revenge, even if it kills me. Because 'they' took my childhood away.
How do you like it so far? I decided that I'm going to update every Sunday. Well I would try to, but if I can't then I will try to get it up as soon as possible. Midnight over and out. ^_^
