OMG IT'S ANOTHER ONE WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON ITS THE END OF THE WORLD!
Lol... you guys are funny...
But anywho...
So heres the next chapter... Kathryn gets her name... Muahahahahahahahaahaha...
The next day they all stood in Mustang's office.
"Do you have your folder, Rockbell?" Mustang asked. He leaning against the front of his desk, feet crossed and looking bored. He wasn't in his seat. That should have been the first clue that something was up.
Hawkeye wasn't in the room either. Another sign.
"Of course. There's no way in hell I'd forget it," Kat said as she walked up to the desk.
He grabbed the file with his left hand, yet another sign that something was off. Out of no where, his other hand came out and yanked off her necklace.
Her hand reached out and grabbed the chain before if could leave her body. "What the fuck do you think you are doing?" she snarled, her eyes wide with fear.
"Wondering why, all of a sudden, you are so protective a necklace,"
"Colonel, let go if the necklace," she warned
"And what if I don't?"
"I will tear out your throat and crush in your skull. Literally," she threatened.
"Remember, Rockbell. You may have made it as an alchemist, but you are under my command still. I suggest you let go of the necklace," he said. Then, yanked the chain hard as he could, out of her hands, and jumped out of reach of her.
"Kat!" Ed called out.
She screamed out in agony as her back arched and she collapsed to the floor squirming.
"Kat!" he shouted in worry. He dropped down to the floor next to her, whipping the hair out of her face. "Kat, what's going on? Nothing's happening,"
"Ed, stand back. I'm going to burst. I'm trying to hold it back. It's not working," she rasped. She looked up at Mustang who's eyes were wide with fear at what was happening. "Remember that you brought this upon yourself, Colonel," she growled.
Ed staggered backward as she burst into her wolf form. She snarled and jumped onto Mustang, growling and snapping her jaws.
"Kathryn, enough! I think he gets it," Ed said.
She glared at Mustang, his normally cool, dark eyes widened to the brim and filled with complete terror. This hit Kathryn hard and she slinked back to Ed's side. He patted her head and she leaned against his leg.
"This is why we couldn't break the necklace during the fight. If the government found out, then she would be taken to a lab," he turned to Alphonse and smiled. "This is what we were talking about before she got her certification," he explained to his little brother.
"Th-that's still her?"
Kathryn growled and snorted at Mustang.
"I think that said, Of course it's still me, and a few choice words that I don't feel like sorting through. Did I get that right?"
She nodded her head and licked his palm.
Mustang stood up and cleared his throat. "Well, now it looks like I've got something to keep her in line,"
Kat reared back to pounce on him again Ed slumped down and held her around the neck to keep her still. She growled and barked at Mustang who was smiling.
"Now it looks like our nick name is true. A real live dog of the military. Er- wolf,"
She growled at Mustang. "Kathryn, knock it off," Ed said sternly.
Kathryn jumped away and growled fiercely at him. She stopped when she saw the hurt in Ed's eyes. She bowed her head and whined, padding back over to him. She stood on her hind legs and placed her paws on his shoulders for balance. She took his neck into her mouth.
"Oh, she wants the necklace back to change,"
Mustang tossed him the necklace, happy to be rid of it.
"Kathryn, are you relaxed?"
She nodded.
"Kat?"
She snorted at him with a glare.
"Kat," he said sternly.
She plopped down to the ground, head on paws and grumbling. Ed clasped the necklace back on, her back arched, the snaps echoed in the large room. The minute she was human again she ran over to Mustang and punched him in the face. "You jackass!" she screamed as she grabbed his collar and slammed him into the wall. "What's keeping me from tearing out your throat right now!"
"When you said wolf attack, is this what happened?"
She mumbled something that even she couldn't hear.
"What?"
She slammed her fist into the wall next to his head. "I said I don't know!" she shouted, finally admitting it to herself. "We don't know what happened," she said, her voice getting quieter. Her hand slid from the wall to his chest. "We don't know, so we can't fix it," she said. She slumped to the floor, falling on all fours. "I'm stuck like this. And I can't do anything about it… You might as well send me to the lab, Colonel. You'd get a nice promotion for finding a fine specimen such as myself, and maybe they could find a cure for me…" she muttered just loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Kat!" Edward shouted.
"Don't talk like that!" Alphonse finally spoke.
"It's the truth, boys. Weather you like it or not, she probably would be better off in the lab. But, I won't be the one to send her there," he said finally sitting at his desk. "You two, leave, go eat something. I need to speak with the Major alone,"
"But Mustang-
"Isn't there a battle you should be getting ready for, Fullmetal?"
He looked at the floor. "Yes, Colonel," he said and they both left.
"Stand up soldier. You look pathetic," Mustang said angrily.
"I can't help that I've become a freak. My life is completely fucked up and I don't even know where to start," she muttered.
"Well you're in luck, because I might have an idea. Now get up, wipe your tears, and get over here,"
She stood up from the floor and wiped the few tears she had shed. "How did you know?"
"I know what a silent sob looks like. I'm not the cold-hearted bastard you two make me out to be,"
"Don't tell Ed. I'm not supposed to be crying, but even walls have cracks that get too big…"
"What, did he make you swear you wouldn't cry?"
"No. I swore to him when he burnt down his house that I wouldn't cry until they were happy tears. So far so good until just now,"
"I won't tell him. Come over here. I need to verify something,"
She walked over and sat down on the desk. Mustang stood from his seat and reached for her face. She growled at his hand. "You're not going to bite me are you?"
"Trust me, if I wanted to bite you, I would have already. What are you planning on doing?"
"I want to look at your scars,"
"You sure about that? They look worse up close,"
"Yes I'm sure," he replied. She sighed and let him brush her hair away from her face. "Do you know a general order of when you got them?"
"No, I was attacked by at least five or six wolves at a time,"
"Then you are one tough recruit. I'm happy you're in my command,"
"Please stop with the damn praise. I feel uncomfortable as is," she said rolling her eyes.
"What about this big one?"
"The one down the middle? I'm not sure, but I think that's from the first wolf. I'm sure he attacked first and that's why the wound was so deep,"
"Hmm… I need you to change back into a wolf," he told her, starting to undo the clasp of her necklace.
"What? No! I'm not doing it again!" she said grabbing his arm.
"If you want your normal body back, then I need to figure out if I was right. And the only way to do that is for you to change back into your wolf state,"
"I hate you right now you know that?"
He undid the clasp and pulled away. "Wait!" she shouted grabbing onto the key before it left her body.
"What now?"
"I don't want to be in any more pain than necessary. I have to relax. It's very painful, since I have to grow a tail, extend my spine, and shift my joints. Those cracks that you hear when I shift are actually my bones. That's why Ed checked three times that I was relaxed," she said hopping off the desk. "You should sit down so this is easier. You weren't to close when you took off my necklace the first time, but you will be a lot closer now. I don't know how bad it gets. The way that Ed looked at me when I first changed, I won't be forgetting it anytime soon,"
"Well, his girlfriend changed into a wolf," he said sitting down. "If you were my girl, I think I would be screaming in terror,"
She got down on the floor, holding herself up with an arm. "When I pounced on you, you looked pretty close to tears,"
"Well, I thought a wolf was going to tear out my vocal chords and eat them for breakfast,"
"That's stupid," She said taking a deep breath. "We prefer the heads over all else," she said as she let go of the key. Then she was in her wolf form.
He knelt on the floor next to her and moved her fur away from her scar. "Hmmm…"
She whined in his ear, as if to say, 'What is it?'.
"Your fur… It's so soft!" he exclaimed rubbing his face in her fur. She growled at him and he pulled back. She pawed the top of his head.
"Does that mean, You suck?" She barked and pushed his shoulder with her paw. "Now you're getting it?"
She nodded and smiled, wolfishly. She sniffed the air and growled. Then shook her head and pawed her face.
"What is it?"
She thought for a moment before jumping up to the desk and grabbing a pen in her mouth. She began to write on her folder.
"R… L… No, I? Z, Riza?" Mustang asked. She nodded.
"Come on Hayate, what's the matter?"
"You don't have enough time to change back. You are now my pet wolf!" Mustang said pointing at her. He quickly sat down in his chair and hid her folder. Kathryn curled up on the floor like a dog would.
"Colonel, were you talking to someone?" Hawkeye asked as she walked through the door.
"Me? No,"
"Here are the reports you asked for," she said as she walked around the desk. She jumped, dropping the folders and pulled out her gun, pointing it at Kat. Kat yawned and sat up, glaring at Hawkeye.
"So I see you've met my new pet," Mustang said with a smirk.
"Colonel! What were you thinking! A wolf for a pet? Where did you get it?"
"I got her in the woods. Where all wolves are," he said innocently.
"Did you think for a second that this thing might have rabies, or could turn on you at any second?"
"Wolfy won't do that," Mustang said.
Kathryn snorted. How original… she thought rolling her eyes. She stood and turned to Mustang.
That's when Riza fired the gun.
DUN DUN DUN DUUUUNNNNNNNNNNN
