Still Present

I walk forward into the forest following the worn path farther in the tree line. The path branches off in two directions, I choose the left path. Ed and Al trail quietly and quikly behind me as to not get lost.

"Jamia... You're sure you know were you're going. Right?" Ed asks as he hurries forward a little.
"Yeah. I'm positive! Just don't fall behind or else you'll get left behind." I reply smiling in the semi-darkness.
"Okay..." Ed says.

After around ten more minutes of walking the path stops and a gravel path is replased instead of the dirt. I walk across the gravel and turn around seeing Ed and Al admant to follow me.

"Come on guys. I have live here for at least four years, I think I know what I'm doing." I turn and carry on walking. I hear Ed and Al's feet crunching against the gravel behind me. I reach the front door and knock using the large metal knocker.

"Dante! Are you awake?" I screem though the thick wood, "Not like se can hear me. But it's worth a try..."

The door opens and the butler greet me, "Madame Elric. What a suprise, Madame Dante was not expecting you for a few more days. Who might these Gentlemen be Madame Elric?"

Ed stares at me, "Elric? Your name is Jamia Elric?"
"Well yeah, didn't I tell you...?" I say tilting my head.
"No." Ed says curtly. He turns to the butler, "I am Edward Elric, this is Alphonse Elric my little brother."
I look at Ed, "Wait. You're Elric too?"
"Yeah." Ed stands infront of me looking coldly at me now. Al stands awkwardly behind Ed.

"Madame Elric. May I suggest coming inside to wait in the lounge while I prepare some tea?" Butler says.
"Yes. I would like that very much. Let's go Ed." I walk inside after the Butler into the lounge.
"May I take your luggage Madame?" Butler holds out his hand.
"Yes okay." I hand him my bag, "Please may you inform Lady Dante of my arrival?"
"Yes Madame Elric." Butler bows and goes off to Dante's room.

"Madame Elric?" Ed says as he sits on one of the sofas casually.
"Yes. Technically Dante is a minor Royal. Since I have been 'adopted' by her I am given the rank of Princess. It's kind of annying really..." I say as I sit in one of the chairs across from Ed, "Al, won't you sit down?"

Al sits next to Ed and turns his head away from me.

Ed stands up and walk around the lounge. He picks up a orniment I had brought from my old home in Resembool. It was a large china flower surrounded by other smaller flowers.

"It's is my most prized possesion. If you break it you pay me the money for it. And that costs at least one thousand pounds now." I say, Ed puts the flower down and moves on to something else.

"If it's so important to you. WHy have it out here? Why not in your own room?" Ed says as he leans on te small coffee table in front of me.
"Well, if I had it in my room I would only see it when I woke up, wouldn't I? If it's down here, I get to looka t it more frequently." I relpy.

The door opens and the old lady Dante walks through, followed by her maid.

"Jamia! What a suprise!" Dante walks to me.
I stand up, "Dante, I would have called but I left Central before I could. Sorry..."
"Oh it's okay! You are forgiven!" Dante hugs me warmly and I return her hug, "Well I see someone brought strangers to the house again..."
"Urm... Well they arn't really starngers. These are people I met in Central." I turn to Ed, "This is Ed Elric ," I turn to Al, "and his younger brother Al Elric."
"Oh what a charming boy! An Elric you say? Well, you do look a lot like my old friend Hoenheim. Don't you my little Ed?" Dante hugs Ed too.

"What...?" Ed just stood there wit a suprised look on his face, "I look nothing like that good for nothing Hoenheim!" Ed turns away and walks to the corner.
"Ed... That's no way to talk to Madame Dante, you know better Brother!" Al says as he gets hugged too by Dante.
"You're Al? Well I can't see you with you armour on. But never mind! I'm sure you look lovely too!" Dante says letting go of Al.

"Dante... Please, could you stop now. You're embarrising me." I say as I blush.
