Hi hi hi hi there. Don't own Fullmetal Alchemist, just do this for fun, and because I love to write so much. So make yourself a good cup of tea and enjoy.


Chapter 11. Do you mean it?.

This absolutely sucks, this was not how things were supposed to go, this was not how things were supposed to be.

Edric and Annelia is forced to stay in the General's office at all times, and when the work day is over, to go home with the Mustang's.

But that's not the worst of it, after Edric talked to his mother, which was a living nightmare, he told his little sister that their mother is on her way.

He thought Annelia was going to faint, and Edric was just as terrified.

Their mother was a very gentle soul, and a very good mother, but when she got angry it was the most horrifying thing ever.

It has been two days since they had talked to their mother, and she said she should be in Central in three days.

They only have one more day before they die. And Edric wanted at least to have his first kiss before he died.

The Elric children found themselves in the General's office once again, with Roy Mustang watching their every move like a animal watching its prey. It was quite unsettling.

But not as unsettling then Roy's wife, Hawkeye reminded him of a hawk that is about to pounce on her pray at any moment, the woman absolutely terrified Edric.

Edric was sitting on the couch watching his sister Pace like a caged animal, he's surprised she hasn't tried for the window yet.

Ann could never sit in one place for too long, she would get antsy and bored, usually if she got bored she got irritating.

Ann has to be doing something at all times, rather practicing her Alchemy, or irritating the crap out of her older brother.

Edric swears she lives to irritate him. But that doesn't change the fact that he'll fight to the death for her.

He kept noticing that the General's son kept watching her to, but it was in a different way, as if he was memorized by her movements.

Edric smirked at himself. He wondered how long it's going to take his little sister to figure that out?

Annelia was always a bilious, she never noticed boys or girl's staring at her. He highly doubt it she ever stopped and thought about love, she's not the type.

Edric on the other hand wants to find someone, settle down and have a bunch of kids.

Annelia wasn't really the wife or the mothering type. But that doesn't mean he can't have a little bit of fun with her, or with his new friend.

Freyer and Edric has become good friends in the short time that they've known each other, and he liked the boy.

Freyer was a talented Alchemist, his going to make an excellent flame Alchemist like his father before him someday.

"THAT'S IT! I can't take this anymore!". Annelia shouted suddenly. " I have to get out of this damnable room!"

From the corner of his eye Edric saw Havoc and Breda hand over money.

Edric overheard the bet that they made on his little sister, they bet it on how long she was going to take before she exploded, and Edric just couldn't help himself.

Havoc said she was going to last a week, Breda said two weeks, and Edric said less than two days.

Edric calmly made his way over to Havoc's desk.

"I do believe that I won". Havoc handed him the bills. "Sorry, but I know my sister better than anyone". He said pocketing his win.

"Hey? Want to bet on that?". Edric rolled his eyes. "No"

"I can't stay in this room or your house for another minute, I can't stand this! I have to get out I have to do something!". Complained Ann.

"Well guess you should have thought of the consequences before you ran away". Said Roy, without looking up from his paperwork. "Your mother told me to keep an eye on you two, until her or your father gets here, and little missy that is what I attend on doing"

Edric grimaced. If there are two words his little sister hates the most, they are short and Missy, and putting the both of them together is like a death sentence.

Annelia exploded. Edric was pretty sure that her shouts and screams could be heard all the way back home.

Annelia's face turned completely red with anger and frustration.

"DON'T CALL ME THAT! YOU JACK ASS! CALL ME THAT AGAIN! AND I'LL SHOVE MY FOOT SO FAR UP YOU'RE ASS THAT YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO WALK! OR SIT FOR A WEEK! YOU COCKY SMUD JACK ASS BASTARD! I SHOULD WIPE THAT SMIEK LOOK OFF YOUR GOD-DAMN FACE!"

Roy took it all in stride, as if he heard it all before, but then again he did work with his father, and Ann and his father are similar, so he's not surprised he's taking all this in stride.

"Now now, control your temper Annie, there's no need to get short-tempered". Roy teased, Edric could have swore he saw a twinkle in his eye.

"YOU SON OF-"

Annelia was cut off by the slamming of the door.

"Hey bastard! Long time no see!"

Roy looked up from his paperwork, and smirked. "So it has, Fullmetal"

Annelia looked like she was about to bolt at any moment, and Edric is going to be right behind her.

both of the Elric children turned around slowly to face their Doom.

Edric's stomach knotted at the sight of his father standing in the doorway. "Oh shit". He muttered.

He glanced quickly over at his little sister, who looked like an animal trying to escape from its predator.

Their dad put one foot over the threshold, and Edric and Ann bolted.

When they made it to the window they opened and jumped out, only to discover their uncle's standing there, his arms crossed his chest.

"Did You two thank you would get from us that easily?" Said uncle Al.

Their father grabbed them both by the ears twisted, and pulled them both back into the office, and to the couch, and force them to sit down.

Uncle Al had already climbed through the window, and was now standing by the General's desk, who was smirking smugly. It pissed he off.

Ann didn't notice, her eyes was transfixed to their father. he could almost feel the anger rolling off of her.

Ann would often usually take their father head on, but Edric, however, felt extremely uncomfortable underneath his father's cold gaze.

he didn't know what was worse, the cold stare his father was given the both of them, or the silence. Edric expected the worst, but what he least expected is what happened next.


Ann glared at her father, and he matched her glare.

there were so many things she wanted to say to him, so many ways to explain why she has to do this, why it's so important to her, and that she's sorry.

But for some reason she can't speak a single thought, it's almost as if she forgotten how to speak.

His golden eyes stared into hers, unwavering, both of them refusing to look away.

Beside her, her brother shifted uncomfortably.

Several minutes past, and neither one spoke, hell, she wasn't too sure anybody in the office was even breathing.

Her father was the first to break the silence. "So, you two want to become State alchemist that badly that you run away from home! I expect this from you Ann, but not you Ed"

"It was my idea!". Ann said, coming quickly to her brother's defense. "He had nothing to do with it, it was all my idea, he only came along with me to make sure I was safe. and I would have never had a thought about running away if you would have at least heard me out!". She added.

"Okay, I'm listening"

Do you know why I want to be a state Alchemist? She thought to herself. Have you ever even thought about it? do you know why I work so hard at Alchemy? No! You don't! It's because you don't see me! because you don't see who I want to be! I just want to make you proud.

for some reason the thought hit her like a ton of bricks. Her father had not, not once said that he was ever proud of her.

' no daughter of mine is going to be a state Alchemist '

it's because he didn't understand her, she wants to be a symbol of Hope like he was so many years ago, she wants to save and protect people.

how can she make her father understand? could she ever make him understand her?

"What is the point explaining to you now?! It doesn't matter! but I am sorry about transmuting your leg to the floor, and for that I really am really really sorry. but I'm not going to apologize for running away"

"That's it?". Asked her father.

"That's it". she replied.

"Do you mean it? by not being sorry about running away?"

"Yes, i did, I don't regret it, I would probably do it again". She said honestly.

"You are going to be punished".

she prepared herself for the worst.

"Annelia! no alchemy, Edric! no books for two months". He paused. "After you pass the state Alchemist exam"
