hey guys, i hope you like it please enjoy! yours truly Amaya!
The man that I call bastard escorted us to the central command where, he talked to us about the test. Ed was all giddy about it and so was I. The man said that Al could also take the test, and he became giddy about it too.
"Until it's time for the test you'll be staying with a state Alchemist and his family." he says to all of us when we reach his office.
"Has he all ready agreed to this?" I ask him. He only nods.
"I shall escort you." he says getting up and leading us out the door. We all follow obediently. Ed actually seemed scared of this man, while I thought he was an ass. I don't know why but I just didn't like him. We all walked to his car and then he drove us to some guy name tucker's house. Once there we walked through the the gate and made our way to the front door, the bastard left. Ed walked in front of me and Al, so we really didn't see that thing coming.
"AH!" Ed yelled as a big dog attacked him. Al and I just stared at the dog. Ed was laying face down in the ground with the dog just laying on top of him.
"Alexander you know that's not right." a man says. I look up to find a man and a little girl at his leg staring at us.
"Bad Alexhander!" says the little girl clutching the mans pants. (I'm trying to do baby talk for this) I smiled at the little girl as she hid behind the man.'Aw so cute!' I think in my head. The dog got off Ed and walked over to the little girl. Ed immediately gets up. I walk up next to him and smile at him.
"Are you okay brother?" I ask as he dusted himself off.
"Yeah I'm okay." he says with a frown.
"I'm sorry that Alexander did that." the man says. I smile at him.
"Nah it's okay, right brother." I say to him. He nods.
"Hello I'm Shou Tucker, and you all must be the Elric siblings, that will be staying in my home." he says as he extends his hand. Ed takes it first, then me, and the Al.
"It's nice to meet you mister Tucker." Al says. He stares wide eye at Al for a moment but then just smiles.
"And who is this?" I ask looking around his leg.
"Oh this is my daughter, Nina." He says as she peeks around his leg. My brothers and I all crouch down to her eye level and all wave at her. She turns red and hides behind her father. We all chuckle. We all straighten up.
"Well I guess we should introduce ourselves."I say smiling at them.
"I'm Edward Elric."Ed says smiling.
"I'm Alphonse Elric." Al says bowing. I smile at his politeness, it reminded me of our mother.
"I'm Elizabeth Elric." I say to them, but look at Nina.
"Well it's nice to meet you all, please come in." he says motioning us inside. Al picks up my luggage and Ed picks up his own. We all make our way inside and stare at everything.
"Forgive me for the mess, it's just the two of us and so we lack the touch of a woman around here." he says picking up some books. We leave our luggage at the door and walk around the mansion with mister Tucker and his child. He leads us to a room wit big double doors.
"You can use anything in here to study for the test." he says opening the door and revealing row after row of books. I stare wide eyed at them. I looked at Ed and he nods as we go over to see a book.
"Wow mister Tucker this is and amazing collection." I hear dimly Al say as I engulf myself in the book I held.
"Thank you Alphonse but this is nothing compare to the library in central command, which state Alchemist can use." he explains.
"Oh, well then we should get studying right Ed, Eliz." Al says as we both ignore him.
"It seems that they're both already at it." he says as he looks at us.
The rest of the day me and my brothers stayed in the library and studied as much as we could, until Nina came to us and told us that dinner was ready. I got up all sore, I had been sitting for more that six hours and my ass hurt like hell, and it fell numb. I limped my way to the dinning room and once again sat down. My ass was no longer numb. Mr. Tucker came into the room with three plates while Nina came out with two more plates. They headed back into the kitchen and returned with a pitcher with water and silverware.
"Please enjoy your meal." Mr. Tucker said smiling. Ed and I both smiled at him. We all dug in except Al.
"Big Bruther isn't eaing." Nina says with a sad expression.
"Uh he's in a special diet." Ed says. Nina looks even more sad now.
"Uh yum. This is delicious." Al says throwing food into his armor, pretending to be eating it. I looked down with sadness. I pushed around my food the rest of the meal. Ed, Alphonse, and I went back to studying until Mr. Tucker told us that we should go to bed.
That night I really didn't really sleep, I just sat on my bed looking out the window while Ed slept next to me. He looked quite peaceful when he was asleep. Al and I try to make conversation at one point in the lonely quite night, but that quickly died because we really didn't want to speak and disturb Edward. I stared out not really thinking. The night looked soothing and peaceful.
'Mother, how I miss you.' I think to myself as I remember the day she died. She had collapsed, while Ed, Al, and myself where out getting some vegetables. When we returned we found her on the floor unconscious. Ed and Al ran out the door to granny's house, while I stayed where I stood shocked. I made my way to my mother's side shaking uncontrollably. I moved her hair out of her face and lightly placed a hand near her nose. I sigh in relief when I found out she was breathing. I carefully placed her head in my lap and waited until Ed and Al came back with granny. They didn't take long, granny came barging in with Ed and Al at her heals. I remember, Al and Ed taking her into her bedroom and then a doctor came. I also remember having them usher me and my brothers out of her bedroom and closed it behind them. At that time my mind had gone blank, with sadness and worry. I could feel Al and Ed trying to sooth me, but I couldn't really hear them. I was too much in shock.
When granny came out she talked to the village men who had come out of worry for her and us, and told them somethings. I remember all of them going into shock, sadness, and some even cried. When granny came over to us she looked at Ed then Al then lastly to me, her eyes where filled with sadness. She motioned us into her bedroom. I ran to her side and smiled to see her. She smiled as well when she saw us.
"Mommy are you feeling better?" I had asked her with excitement. She only nodded. Ed and Al came to our side at that moment, while I crawled onto the bed and laid down next to her.
"Edward promise me that you'll take care of your Al and your baby sister." I heard her say.
"Mom you're going to get better, so you'll be here to take care of all of us." Ed had said. I had looked up at that point and saw Ed smile, a strained smile. Then I looked at my mom and found her smiling, a weak smile.
"Edward just promise me." she had said. A single tear ran down Ed's strained smiled face. He only nodded. Once again my mother smiled sweetly. Ed grabbed one of her hands and smiled at her. I kissed her on the forehead and smile at her. She returned my smile, but her eyes went blank and she closed her eyes.
"Mommy?" I had asked her. I was still smiling, but then my smile slid off my face.
"Mommy!" I had yelled shaking her slightly. My hands where shivering at this point.
"Mommy!" I screamed as tears ran down my face. I looked at Ed and Al who where both crying.
"MOMMY!" I say bolting up from my sleep. I was panting quite heavily and I looked around to find Al and a now awake Ed looking at me. Ed had his arms around me, while trying to sooth me. Tears ran down my face. I hadn't known I had fallen asleep. 'I hadn't had that dream in many months, why now?' I think to myself as crushed my face against Eds chest. He just held me like he use to, when I ever had this horrible dream.
"Shh, its okay Elizabeth." he says soothing me once again. Tears ran down my face once again. Him soothing me reminded me of how teacher use to take care of me when we spent the first few nights with her and her husband, she would always come to me and sooth me, except for the first night, she had practically killed the boys, until they explained to her that this had been happening quite often because of our mothers death. She had soothed me to sleep the next time it had happen.
I snuggle up into Ed's embrace and could feel my eyelids become heavy.
"Goodnight darling." I hear him say as I fall asleep.
It felt like just minutes that I had fallen asleep, when Edward was waking me up. I groaned, unhappy that I had to get up. I glared daggers at Ed as I get up. I pull on my pants and jacket and made my way to the bathroom to freshen up. When I finish I make my way down stairs and join Mr. Tucker and his daughter, plus my brothers for breakfast. When we finish we all head to the library, to once again engulf ourselves in our studies.
For the rest of the months that we had we spent them in the library engulfing ourselves in studying, then the day came. We all did a cram session, until midnight when Mr. Tucker technically forced us all out of the library and sent us off to bed. That night I spent the night to nervous to sleep, but in the end I fell asleep.
The next morning I woke up with excitement while, Ed and Al were both nervous and giddy. I knew that I was going to pass the first test, I really didn't know how but I just knew.
We all entered the testing room and we sat near each other. I sat in front of them.
"This is the first test of the two, so with that said you may all begin." the man says. I instantly turn over my test and began. The questions that were in the test were quite easy, the written part was a little more harder. But in the end I finished the test with enough time to spare. I waited until Ed and Al finished up. When the guy finally said that time was up, I turned to face a gloomy faced Ed and it looked like Al was a little depressed. We all headed to turn in our test and then left.
"How did y'all do?" I asked them.
"Ugh I didn't finish." Ed says. My eyes go wide.
"I finished but I don't think I passed." Al says. They both sigh and then look at me.
"How about you?" Ed asks.
"Oh I finished everything and I also did it with time to spare." I announce to them, as we come closer to Mr. Tuckers home. Both of them sigh again. I just smiled as we headed home.
When we got home Mr. Tucker and Nina were all waiting for us at the entrance.
"Bruthers, big siser!" she exclaimed with excitement. I smile and pick her up.
"Hello Nina." I say hugging her. She squealed with happiness. This only proved my point to my brothers. Nina was the cutest girl I've ever met.
"How did it go?" I hear Mr. Tucker ask us, but I didn't answer, I just let Al and Ed answer his question. While I walked inside with Nina in my arms. I had become quiet fond of this little girl and her dog.
"Siser com dwah wih me." she says to me in her cute baby voice. This only made me hug her tighter. I made my way to her bed room and drew with her.
(Fw days later)
"Elizabeth someone's here to see you and your brother." I nod and get up, I follow him to the front of the house. There stood a man in an state army suit. I raided a questioning eyebrow at my brothers.
"The bastard wants to talk to us." Ed says.
"Ah." I say understanding. I grab my jacket and head outside with my brothers plus the other guy following me. The man went to the drivers side while we got in the back. The man drove us to central command, then lead us to the bastards... office? It looked like he shared this place with more people. He sat there in his chair with a smirk on his face, this brought a scowl on my face.
"Welcome Elrics" he says greeting us.
"H-hello s-sir." Ed stuttered.
"Pff." I tried to hold in my laughter, which was surprisingly hard, but somehow managed. Ed turned around and glared at me. I adverted my eyes from him, trying to look innocent.
"Hello,sir." Al says. I just wave at him.
"So I have great news." he begins. I look at him with a serious expression.
"What is it?" I ask.
"You all passed the exam." he says. I stare at him wide eyed. Ed and Al both jumped up and down with happiness but I just glared, I could tell there was more to this.
"What else?" I ask him. He looked down.
"I think Alphonse should drop out." he says looking stern. Ed and Al both stop jumping and stared at the man in shock, I just sigh.
"But why? Even though I've tried so hard you want me to drop out." Al says, his voice sounding hurt.
"Think about it Al, remember what Mr. Tucker said, when we are at the last exam it could be anything from fighting skills to physical examination." I say to Al, with my voice stern and a serious expression.
Al just looked at me. I stared at him seriously.
"Your right." I hear him say quietly.
"Good, Edward and Elizabeth I will be seeing both of you at the second test, and then the introduction, that is if you two make it that long." he says smiling. Once again I scowled at him.
"Mr. Bastard, I hope you're ready to tell me your name." I say before turning around and leaving the room.
So there you go I hope y'all liked. I'm sorry that its taken me so long to update, but with the death of my dog I was really depressed. So yeah. Oh and thanks for the support sent to me.
