Author's Note: So having just Roy's point of view isn't working so I decided to switch between characters every chapter. I will notify whose point of view it is at the beginning of each chapter. This chapter will be in our leading lady's (whose name still hasn't been revealed yet) point of view. Enjoy.
Chapter Four:
According to Second Leiutinent Hawkeye, Elric ran out the room in an angry temper tantrum. How childish of him. How these people sit here and call a 15 year old boy there hero when he's just a child? I can't bring myself to respect him. One for his lack of maturity and two for his curiosity. He's probably the only who could get close enough to figure things out and we couldn't have him ruin everything.
I walked into the mess hall. I could see a few eyes on me. I wasn't as uncomfortable as I was angry. Like these grown men haven't seen a woman before! Pervs. Sitting there checking out a 16 year old girl.
I took a seat at an empty table as I took my ebony locks and put in a loose ponytail. From the corner of my eye I saw a figure coming towards me. I pulled out a book, so I could hopefully pretend that I didn't see them.
"Hey." I recognized his voice. Elric. He doesn't give up does he?
"Hi." I awkwardly stated still making sure to keep my head in the book
"Hello." Another voice said. It was lighter, more inviting, and younger than Edward's. It caused me to look up at the silver suit of armor. Mustang had told me all about the Elrics and their dabble with human transmutation so I guess they were very surprised when I didn't act ignorant to Alphonse's appearance.
"Hello." I said looking straight at Al and giving him a little smile. There was as moment of silence so I dipped my head back down into the book, not taking a blind eye to the look Ed gave Al a jealous look. Al chuckled a little.
"So what are you reading?" Ed leaned forward reaching his hand over to touch the yellowing pages. I slammed the book shut.
"None of your business Elric." I snapped at him rolling my eyes
"The light is your truth huh." Edward said quoting my last words to him.
"Well what do you know you figured that out all on your own." Sarcasm filled my tone. "Wait. Mustang told you that didn't he."
Edward's keen smile dropped and flicker in his eyes dulled. "NO! Who told you that lie?" He screeched that so loud everyone from four tables around turned to look at us. He flushed red as he rubbed his temple. I was quick to slap him in the back of the head with the book I was holding. Maybe that would slap some sense into his dumb, short, annoying, alchemical prodigious body.
"You are such a bad liar." I notified with a serious look on my face as everyone returned to eating.
"Oh yeah well I'm surprised you noticed when you're so far stuck up your azz that you don't notice anything around you!" He yelled this time talking quick and loud.
"Excuse my brother. Please Ed calm down. This isn't what we came here for." Al apologized in a kind and genuine tone. Edward's angry facial expression melted away into a calm one in mere minutes replaced by a smirk.
"Mustang said you were on a mission for three years. Did you find what you were looking for?" Ed questioned in a condescending tone
"DID YOU FIND WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR? IS YOUR BROTHER STILL A TIN CAN?" I snapped. My 'mission' was something very sensitive to me and I didn't want someone like him making it into a joke.
"Why do you have to be such a bytch?!" Edward looked like he was going to jump over the table. So he was sensitive about his mission to. I smirked
"Forget it. You wouldn't understand because you're such a self-centered jerk." I stormed out of the mess hall in a flash. He just had a way of pissing me off fast. I went to the only place where I felt safe, Mustang's office. I rushed in slamming the door behind me. Luckily he was alone and working on paperwork.
"I can't stand him anymore!" I clasped my hands in fists. "He makes me just wanna---" I clapped my hands together and grabbed a book from his book shelf. In a magnificent luminescent gale of light I caused the book to implode on itself. When the transmutation was done pieces of the once binded paper were falling to the ground in shards of tiny crystals.
Mustang gave me the same blank expression he always did. His hands were folded together parallel with his face.
"Relax. Tolerate him long enough to get close and work your magic." He stood up and walked over to me. He removed his glove and touched my cheek gently then trailing upward he brushed my bang out from in front of my eye. "He has the information we're looking for Luna."
I nodded as I realized I had left my book on the table. No. The book had everything in it. If Elric had it. I darted for the door and as I opened it I was met by a familiar figure. He had followed me.
Author's note: I'm done with this chapter. Please give me good and bad criticism. Please review if you're reading this! ~Bre~
