A/N- I am such a slow updated, and I'm sorry. I hope you all enjoy this chapter though.
I woke up to crashing, banging, and yelling. I shot up in bed, the sheets falling slowly to the ground. I was about to completely freak out when I heard laughing. After breathing and calming down enough to focus on the brush voiced below me I heard teacher with one of her children students, the little fellow must had gotten in trouble again.
I then got up out of bed, brushing my hair away from my face and putting my black leather pants and white tank top on. Walking to the door I heard some more laughing, and I opened it sighing for all the commotion so early in the morning.
I got to the bottom of the stairs and ducked as a pan came flying at my head. I stood up straight with an evident scowl on my face as I stared at Teacher with a glare. How much I hated being picked on and harassed, I couldn't complain for everything she was doing for me.
"And didn't I say you were training bright and early in the morning after breakfast?" Teacher questioned me. I felt like being a smart ass, but decided against it, I really didn't feel like a fryer in the face, the sun wasn't even fully in the sky yet.
"Whatever you say Teacher," I said nonchalantly, sitting down and grabbing a plate. I was about to grab some rice when my hand was slapped, I looked up again with a scowl on my face. Why couldn't people just leave me alone and let me do what I want. Izumi was looking at me with a 'what the hell' expression and I looked back with a 'what the hell expression' even though they meant different things, our faces matched each other in displeasure.
"None of us have eaten yet, waiting for you to drag your ass down here, you will wait to eat with the rest of us, and you will stop glaring at everyone in the process, it's rude." Her voice was not to be argued with. So I put my hands in my lap and looked at them. I could feel eyes on me, people staring but I refused to look up to snap their heads off.
"Alphonse, could you go get the two little kids in the front yard, tell them breakfast is ready," Sig commanded Al. Alphonse bowed and ran out the front door, and Sig went through the door to the left of him that led to the kitchen.
Someone sat down next to me and I assumed it was Teacher, but I didn't look up to meet anyone's eyes. I was too busy focusing on the scars and cuts on my hand. I could point out how I got only about half of them, which was saying a lot. One scar went from the thumb up to my elbow.
Flash Back~
I was running though a forest with Al. Him clanking behind me in his metal suit of a body. Lust and Wrath were after us, and the forest was dark. I didn't really know where I was going, and that was fine as long as we weren't by the homunculi I was happy.
We were with the military, but they were too busy setting up a parameter, which wasn't helping the case that was going on miles away from where they thought the attack was going to happen. I was sure that I was going to get the heat for all of this when I got back to Central. Mustang was sure to blow his ear off.
I stopped suddenly, seeing a flash right ahead of me. Wrath must be doing alchemy ahead. I turned motioning for Alphonse to follow in a different direction, wanting to take a detour away from wherever they were. I couldn't fight them in my current condition. I was losing too much blood from my head where Wrath hit me with a metal steak.
We were running on a different path when I had to whip around hearing a stick snap behind me. I didn't have time to react to Lust's knife fingers coming at me, so I put my arms up to protect myself, Screaming in pain when her fingers made a huge gash going up my forearm.
I remember waking up in my brother's metal arms hearing gunshots and explosions behind me. I had fainted from the loss of blood and Mustang and Riza had made it there just in time to keep me from being made into hamburger meat.
Current Day~
"Edward?" Are you listening to me? I looked up at her finally.
"Yes Ma'am," I told her. Even though I hadn't heard a single word she had said. She nodded and then got up from the seat next to me when Alphonse and the kids came in, gong to help Sig bring in the food.
Breakfast went quickly and quietly. No one really said anything for the dark and gloomy mood surrounding the table was strong. After we all helped take the dishes into the kitchen for Sig to wash and then I followed Teacher, the kids, and Al out to the front. Apparently the work began. And I had a feeling that she was going to work the crap out of us, she always did when my attitude was horrid.
