Chapter 7The Dream
"Scar, what are you doing here?" asked Ed coldly as they scowled at each other. "Easy, Fullmetal. I only came to get someone." said Scar coldly but more calmly than Ed. Skye looked at Scar with fond eyes as she saw the face of her father for the first time in ten years. Tears came to her eyes as he turned to look at her. "Papa!" she yelled as she ran and jumped onto the desk where Scar stood. She held onto to him tightly, not wanting to let go, not wanting to lose him again.
Papa? That means . . . ! thought Ed, but he dared not think of the truth. Then, Ed noticed Scar's right arm making its way slowly around Skye's shoulder. Skye thought it was to hold onto her and hug the girl he had raised so long ago, but Ed knew the real reason for even touching her with his right hand and yelled "NO!" It was too late. Skye was knocked out by Scar's attack (which he had made light enough to just knock her out for awhile, not blow her up) and was lying in his arms as he jumped out of the hole he made in the wall as an entrance.
After being frozen for a few seconds by shock, they chased after Scar who was carrying their unconscious friend. Since Scar wasn't going to slow down anytime soon, Ed clapped his hands together and hit the ground. Four large walls surrounded Ed, Al, Scar, and Skye, who seemed to be getting sick. She was coughing and seemed to have a fever by the way she was sweating. What was really happening was a nightmare.
Skye's dream She sat in knee -deep snow crying, holding on to herself so she wouldn't get cold. Then, she saw a shadow looming over her. She looked up and saw Ed looking down, smiling at her. He leaned over and she straightened up, their faces came close to each other, ready to lock and form a kiss. Then, a sudden look of pain came over Ed's face and he collapsed onto her lap, blood splurting from his shoulder and running on to the snow. She wrapped up the wound and looked to see who the attacker was. It was a tall woman with wavy black hair and a skimpy dark green dress showing a strange yet familiar symbol, a red winged dragon biting its tail surrounding a red six-sided star, below her neck. She seemed to have spears coming from her gloved fingers, which she held out. A man with spiked green hair, a black headband, a tight half-shirt, a short black flowy skirt, the same dragon symbol on the side of his left thigh, and cloth-like foot covers stepped out from behind the woman. He walked toward her and dropped something in the snow. She gasped as she recognized it. It was Alphonse's helmet. She said his name but no answer came. She stared wide-eyed at the empty helmet and cried for an answer, not noticing the man. He jumped at her as if to kick her. She finally saw him and screamed, but her father jumped in front of her just in time. He was knocked far back and seemed to dye in the snow. She cried, holding her love, her father, and an empty helmet. As the two strange people approach, she screamed again End Dream
While her dream was going on, the Elric Brothers (mostly Ed) were fighting Scar. "Why do you want with her?" asked Scar as he dodged Edward's arm-sword. "We made a promise to her. We said we would make her a State Alchemist and we intend to keep that promise!" Ed said as he bounced back and missed Scar's right hand by a hair. Scar looked at him disbelievingly. Then, Skye let out a high pitched scream. Everyone stopped at the sound of the sudden noise. She was sweating more than ever and was even crying.
"Come on. We need to help her. We'll settle this after we get her better," said Al, hoping to end the fighting, for Skye's sake. "Right." said Ed and Scar as they jumped back from each other. Al picked up Skye carefully from the ground and Scar made a large doorway in the wall. They all ran through it, towards the hospital. Skye let out another scream.
