Chapter 10
*Ed's POV*
UGH! Why the hell are girls so damn confusing! One minute they make your heart flutter next you want to pull your own hair out. I will NEVER understand them ever! Alchemy is a freaking thousand times easier than trying to understand them.
"Brother?" Al's voice pulls me out of my own mental angry huff, and back into the cold rain.
"Yea Al? What is it?" I sigh more to myself, Alphonse gives me a concerned look than looks to Rose. She has her head down, hair covering her face; her hands are shoved deep into the pockets of my jacket. She still looks beautiful…. NO. Pull it together Elric.
"Just worried about Rose… She looks a little upset." Al's voice small as he whispers to me,
"She's fine Al." I gently whisper to him, he always cares so much. Alphonse gives me a unsure look and walks closer to Rose, he leans down and whispers a few things to Rose;
Before I even knew what was happening she was laughing and Alphonse has her up in his arms.
"Race you there brother!" Al calls to me.
"That's no fair!" I scream after them as I begin to run, I pick up speed and am soon behind them. Let's see how they like this; I let a huge smirk play onto my face. I clap my hands together and touch the ground as I run; a huge wall sprouts up a few feet in front of them. I watch a huge flash of purple spring out of nowhere and the walls gone. What the …? Rose's laugh echoes in front of me as I slow down.
"We win! We win!" Al laughs; I can't get the explosion of the wall out of my mind.
"What happened to wall?" My voice comes out strained.
"So many questions Ed." Rose smiles at me, a blush burns my cheeks. "I blew up the wall." She says quietly, but before I can say another word Brosh and Ross come huffing up beside us.
"How…Bout…A… Warning.. Next time." Brosh pants, the second Lieutenant rolls her eyes.
"That doesn't matter right now, but that on the other does…" Ross trails off, I give her a confused look and turn around. The library has burned down; all that is left is grumbled bits and ashes.
" .NONONONONO! This cannot be happening! NONONO! How the hell did this happen!?" I'm steaming as I pace back and forth; Rose is look down at the ground with fake innocence. I march over to her, "WHAT?!" She doesn't look in the least fazed with my scream.
"Please Edward; I already knew this was going to happen." She says though her gritted teeth, a man can only take so much.
"What the hell! Telling us would have been nice! But NO! Of course not!" The anger is livid in my voice, she looks up into my eyes. Oh no…
"YOU KNOW WHAT EDWARD! DO IT ALL ON YOUR OWN! I COULDN'T TELL YOU! YOU KNOW WHY!? BECAUSE IT COULD FUCK IT ALL OVER!" Her voice is full of fire, her anger turns to tears as she storms away. I watch her walk away in awe and in silence. Way to go Elric, making a girl cry score one for you. Feel any better now? I want to slap myself in face.
"GO GET HER BROTHER!" Al Shouts at me, "You didn't need to shout at her, she doesn't want to mess with our time line." Alphonse says more quietly this time. Ross is glaring at me,
"What?" I glower, as I move hair out of my face.
"So insensitive about a girls feeling, we know someone who worked here that read all the books." She hisses to me
"She was a real book worm…" Brosh trails off. Dumb ass Elric! She already knew that, that's why she didn't tell me… now I feel even more like an asshole.
"I'll go get her…" I whisper and start to run in the direction she ran off in.
*Rose's POV*
I keep running, the pounding of my heart echoes in my head. Tears are still falling and my anger is still smoldering in my soul. Why do you have to be so weak? You couldn't just be angry? You fail yourself with your tears. I smash my fists into the brick wall and scream; the wall blows apart at my touch. Pieces of brick fly apart and cut my skin, I'm still panting as my knees give out. I collapse to the wet ground, I stare at the cuts now covering my hands; the skin starts to close. What the hell!? What just happened? I flip my hand over, no cuts anywhere. I reach a hand up to my face; those cuts are no longer there either. Air. Come on Rose, breath. I take a huge gulp of air and try to come down, think, think. I glowed sort of red when they closed… There. That's it. I look down at the red shimmering tattoo on my wrist, The Philosopher's stone, embedded to my soul… I reach into my pocket and pull out the pocket watch, and rotate it in my hand. It looks like a regular state alchemist watch… I pop it open and watch the arms of the clock tick by, I shake it and the face of the watch swings open. The entire clock machinery was glowing red, A philosophers stone made into a watch… clever. No wonder Ross told me the Fuhrer had demanded me to have it on me at all times…But why would he want me to have this, if I already have one embedded to my soul.
"Rose!" Ed's voice rips me from my thoughts; I jam the watch back into the pocket of my jeans.
"Rose! Where are you?!" He screams again, worry laces his voice. Oh Edward, you do care… I blush softly.
"ROSE!" This time the worry is flooding in, the words fly out of my mouth.
"I'm right here Ed." I call softly to him, and for some miracle he hears me and comes running to my hiding place. He stands there for a moment, looks at the shattered wall to my tear stained face. Ed falls to his knees and pulls me to him,
"I'm so sorry Rose; don't be angry with me anymore. Please." His voice comes out a whisper, "Please Rose, I never wanted you to cry." I wrap my arms around him and pull him closer.
"It's ok Ed, I forgive you. I'm sorry t…." I'm cut off by soft lips pressing to mine; I can feel all his sorrows and frustrations pouring into me by his kiss. I kiss back and for a moment I forget I'm in some world I don't know, that I went thru so much pain to be here, nothing exists to me anymore. But the moment ends, Edward pulls away and rests his forehead on mine and just stares into my eyes. Searching for something, I think he's found it because a smile creeps onto his face.
"Brother!" I hear Alphonse's voice call through the buildings and the sound of heavy armored feet coming closer.
