Hey, everyone! Sorry that it took me so long to update this story. I was too low on inspiration to figure out what to do next. I'm still pretty low on it, so I could really use some suggestions on what you'd like to see in the story, even if they're obvious. (Hey, I get so obsessed with my paranormal and metaphysical plots that I sometimes forget the obvious.)
Anyway, hope that you enjoy the chapter. I have no idea whether it's any good or not, but you're welcome to let me know. Heh.
Disclaimer: I do not, never did, and never will own FullMetal Alchemist. I honestly don't know why I have to say that, isn't it obvious?
This is Edward. I had just finished eating the breakfast I was served when Annabelle walked into the room. I smiled. "Hi, Annabelle."
"Hi…Edward," she blushed. I chuckled.
"So, what are you doing today?" I asked her.
"I'm just visiting you. I have nothing else planned."
I smiled again. "I'm glad that you came to visit. I was lonely, and I love your company."
She blushed again, and moved closer to me. I suddenly sat upright in bed. When she moved that close, I felt it.
"You're not Annabelle!"
"Edward, how can you say that? Of course I am!"
"You can't fool my senses, Envy."
Suddenly, Annabelle smirked, and then transformed into Envy. "You're pretty perceptive, chibi-san, but that still won't save you." He moved to attack me, but just then, a bunch of security guards ran in and grabbed him.
"What? How? Who?" asked Envy, all confused.
I held up a little remote control device. "This lets me call the nurse without getting out of bed. Get with the times, Envy."
Envy slinked out of the security guards' grasp, turned to me, and said, "Alright, I'll let you win this time, but Annabelle's not going to get off so easily." With that, he turned and jumped over the security officers into the hallways and out of sight.
"What the heck just happened?" asked one of the security officers, "Don't tell me that that was Envy."
I nodded my head. "It was. He's after me and my sister, and now he's going after a friend of mine. Please, get the doctor in here. I need him to take me off these drugs!"
"But, if Envy's after you…Then you must be Edward Elric reincarnated!" said one of the security guards.
I slapped my hand on my forehead. "Not another one, please! Just get the doctor, please!"
"Are you Edward Elric's reincarnation?" asked the security guard.
"What the heck does it matter whose reincarnation I am?" I yelled. "I need to see the doctor now, before something terrible happens to one of my friends. Please, I beg you!"
The guard finally consented to go get me my doctor, but he left the other security guards in the room, just in case Envy decided to come back.
After a few minutes, my doctor appeared in the room. I asked him to take me off of all the drugs I was on. Naturally, he didn't want to and he reminded me that I wasn't free to make decisions like that at my age, so I had to make him call my parents and debate it out with them.
Finally, I won, so he took me off of all the drugs he had me on. All those painkillers that are lifesavers for some could end up being a death sentence for Annabelle. I had to be able to connect with her, but I wasn't sure how well I'd be able to do it, since the effect of the drugs hadn't worn off yet.
I decided to try in any case. I closed my eyes and felt for Annabelle's presence. I found myself running up from behind her as she was walking down the street to somewhere.
"Annabelle!" I called.
She spun around. "Edward, are you astral projecting? I was just on my way to visit you."
I finally caught up with her, and placed my hands on her shoulders. "Annabelle, listen to me. Envy is after me, and he wants to harm anyone that's important to me, including you. He mentioned you by name. Please keep on your guard. I can't astral project for long periods of time until these drugs wear off."
"Who's Envy?" she asked.
"He's the guy that you saw kill me in your memory."
She gasped. She apparently didn't know what to think or say or do. The poor thing, I really couldn't blame her.
"I can't hold up this astral body any longer. Try to stay safe." I then opened my eyes back at the hospital.
"What were you concentrating so hard on?" asked a nurse who had apparently entered the room while I was astral projecting. "You had me worried there, for a bit."
"Sorry about that," I said. I didn't care to tell her about my astral projecting ability. It would cause too many questions to be asked that I didn't feel like answering.
"Could you hand me my orange juice?" I asked. That astral projection had taken a lot of energy, and I needed to build up my strength.
"What orange juice?" she said, looking around. Oh great, I had to get a spacey nurse, didn't I?
"That orange juice right there!" I pointed to it, annoyed. All of a sudden, the glass picked up and flew at me. Thankfully, I caught it before it crashed into anything. Darn, I thought that I'd gotten control of that ability.
The nurse's jaw dropped, and she said nothing for several moments. I didn't care to wait around for her to say anything, so I just started drinking my orange juice as if nothing had happened. I needed the sugar too badly to worry about her reaction.
"You're…telekinetic!" she finally said. I just continued to drink my orange juice in silence. I wasn't sure whether it was better to confirm or deny my ability, so I didn't do either one.
"Why don't you say something?" said the nurse, "I think that telekinetic ability is awesome! I'm going to go and tell everyone that I have a telekinetic patient!" She jumped up and ran out of the room before I even had a chance to try and stop her.
Darn! I thought as a leaned back into my pillow. I have my memories back, but now I'm helpless in the hospital, Annabelle's in danger, and now I'm at the mercy of a spacey, gossipy nurse. Things couldn't get any worse.
Of course, I shouldn't have jinxed it, because right after I thought that, things got worse.
Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed the chapter. Now, review!
