I'm sooo sorry I'll explain after the story...
Here's Gateway to life's river...
I don't own FMA
Sorry about the mistakes I did it all in 20 minutes cuz I felt soo bad...
I woke up to find myself in my room on my bed. I look over to the window to see that the curtains were closed, preventing any sunlight from coming in. I sat up and noticed that I was covered with a red coat.
Ed...
I got out of bed, grabbed my clothes and toiletries, and went into my bathroom to wash up and get ready. I decided to put on my black jeans, and black shirt that said ' not a morning person' with my knee high converse. I put on a black headband to keep my hair out the way. I made sure I was presentable and headed out my room, grabbing Eds jacket on the way.
Right when I opened my door, I slammed into a wall of metal.
"Oooww" I groaned as I stumbled back.
"Amaya! Are you ok? Im sorry"
"its ok al. Im fine" I said as I steadied myself.
"I wanted to talk to you while Ed was still asleep..."
"umm ok." Al and I sat down at the edge of my bed.
"Amaya, what do you think of brother?"
Ook a little random...
"What do you mean?"
He started to fidget. "well he really likes you... and he didn't really sleep because he was worried about you.I don't know how you feel about Ed, but please don't hurt him. Ok?"
I turned my head to hide my blush. "Ok Al..."
Just then there was a knock. Followed by a familiar voice. "Amaya? Al? you in there?"
"Yeah," We both called out.
"Well hurry and get dressed. We're heading to Dublith." With that, we heard footsteps leaving.
Al and sat in silence for a minute...
Al got up and left the room taking Ed's jacket with him.
Later that day...
We walked through Dublith. Ed was almost oblivious to the smell of smoke as he led us through the streets. He seemed to know where he was going, and I really hoped he did. I wasn't in the mood for getting lost.
We arrived at someone's door after a half hour or so of walking. There was a huge sign that said "MEAT" hanging over the door. I could smell blood and flesh coming from inside, and I wondered if they were serial killers.
"Here goes." Ed muttered, and rapped on the door. It swung open a second later to reveal a massive man with a scowl on his face. He was definitely over six feet tall and he had tons of muscles. He looked over each of us in turn, and I swallowed hard when his eyes passed over me. The butcher's knife in his hand and blood-splattered apron didn't help in making him less terrifying.
"Back already, boys?" he rumbled, patting Ed's head. I heard his neck crack, causing me to cringe slightly. "Who's your friend?"
"This is Amaya." Al said. "We've told Teacher about her already."
"Oh." The man said. "Come on in."
"Hey, Al," I whispered as we walked through the door, "who the hell was that guy?"
"That was Sig Curtis. He's our teacher's husband." Al whispered back. "He's not as scary as he looks."
"Izumi's in bed. She's been sick lately." Sig said, pushing open another door. "She's not in a good mood either. Watch yourselves." Ed and Al let out what sounded like squeaks of terror and I almost laughed out loud. We stepped through the open door and into a bedroom.
A woman lay in the bed, propped up against a pillow and holding an open book in one hand. She had somewhat skin and dark hair that was twisted into dreadlocks. It was held back from her face, which was scrutinizing the book in her hand. I assumed she was Izumi Curtis.
"Back so soon?" she questioned, not looking up from her reading.
"Yes, Teacher." Al squeaked. Izumi met Al's gaze and threw the book at Ed without any warning. The corner hit him right in the middle of his forehead, sending him to the ground with a cry.
I liked her already.
"You call me on such short notice, then show up with a girl and expect me to be okay with this?" she exploded. "No offense, dear." This was directed at me, and I hoped that she didn't have any more books hidden under the covers.
"None taken." I said.
"S-sorry!" Al stammered. Izumi glared at him.
"Never mind that." She said. "You three can stay in the spare room."
"Yes, ma'am!" Ed and Al said sharply. I half expected them to snap into a salute, but they stayed put. After a quick conversation about something relating to Izumi's welfare, we left and went to the spare room. There were only two beds, but Al didn't sleep, so he let me have the other one.
"Oh, by the way, Maya, you missed dinner." Al informed me.
"Not hungry." I shrugged and flopped backwards onto my bed. "I never really eat."
"Well, don't come crying to us when you're starving in the morning." Ed adopted the same position as me, but with a book in his hand. "We're leaving after breakfast tomorrow. Our train's at nine."
"Okay." I sat up and stared at the open window in the room. It's tempting me... I thought, frowning. Oh, alright, fine. I'll go."I'm going out for a bit."
"Where to?" Al asked.
"Anywhere. I'm exploring." I grinned and slowly climbing out the window.
"No, wait!" Ed stopped me from jumping out the window. "People will see you."
"That's a good point..." I scratched my chin thoughtfully. "But I'm good at keeping myself hidden. I'll avoid being seen."
"Yeah, but you could get... caught or something." Al protested. "There's some very bad people here, Maya. The Homunculi. Who knows what they could do after the catch you."
"I'll make sure to avoid them." I shrugged, rolling my shoulders. "Thanks for warning me, though. See you in an hour." I pushed off and walk down the path. It wasn't pleasant for humans, and it was even less pleasant for me.
Dublith was a nice city from the top because you couldn't see what was happening in the streets. At this time of night, it wasn't pretty watching the people walk out from the bars. I imagined it was a very quaint place once the day came around.
Something in the distance caught my eye. One of the bars had its lights on, but no one was going in or out of it. I walked closer and tried to catch its scent: no alcohol, no cigarettes. I began to walk to the bar.
Something grabbed me from behind and I jabbed my elbow into them, but it had no effect. A cloth was pressed over my mouth and nose, smelling overwhelmingly sweet. I knew not to breathe, but my lungs were going to explode if I didn't. I tried prying the cloth away, but strong fingers clamped it down. Finally, I gasped, inhaling the strange smell. I suddenly felt drowsy.
"Nice to see you again." said a voice I recognized all too well. "It's been a while."
Quick cliff hanger hehehe I wanted to post this because I haven't been updating in a while...I've only been able to access FF through my phone...not easy to do... I promise to have the rest of my stories updated as well!
