Not a Normal Girl

EdXOC

Yes! I'm on a roll! I got this chapter out a week or so after chapter 10! I'm awesome!

Ed: No your not..

Me:...Dude, don't lie i'm awesome!

Ed: *walks away*

I looked at the blood terrified, I coughed again and more blood came out. I groaned and struggled to stand up. I dragged to my feet to the kitchen to grab a wet rag and whip of the blood, making sure to get every drop up off the floor. I cleaned the rag limply as I straggled to stand at the kitchen counter.

I let my feet carry me to the room I was staying in an sit on the bed. I picked up my back and took out my laptop. Thinking I would be able to get on the internet and find out what illness I had. I turned it on and waited for it to boot up. I clicked onto Mozzilla Firefox and decided to go onto my e-mail first.

"What the heck?" I muttered.

When I went on everything was distorted. The letters were meshed together and made them unreadable.

"What's this?"

I noticed that one e-mail was read able and out of curiosity I clicked on it.

Silly girl, contacting your mother like that. You'll have to pay the consequences. You think you'll get back easily? You're very mistaken.

From:-

The persons name was unreadable. There was no way to decipher what it was because it was so blurred together. My computer froze.

"Come on, come on."

I was scared and didn't know what to do. I tried rebooting my computer several times but the e-mail would come up and the computer was frozen.

Out of frustration I shoved the piece of technology to the corner of the bed, close to the edge. I had no idea when that was sent to me because the date was blurred out. The last time I checked my e-mail was when I was in Resembole.

"Pay the consequences…" I muttered, "What does that mean?"

I coughed again, I covered my mouth so the blood wouldn't get on the bed.

"Oh God, help me." I pleaded.

I dragged my feet numbly to the bathroom to wash my hands and rinse on my mouth. I prayed that this sickness would pass before Ed and Izumi came back.

I sunk to the cold bathroom floor in a fit of coughs. I felt as if I couldn't breath. My own blood stained my hands and my body shook violently. The middle of my back as burning; I felt as if I as shot in the back, though I knew that wasn't the case because no blood was spilling out from there.

I felt myself loose consciousness as I curled into a ball on the floor with tears in my eyes. I felt so much pain and I had no clue why. I could only lay and pray that Ed and Izumi would come back soon.

I came back with bandages on my head and scratches all over my body and my automail arm broken. Great, I'll have to make another unexpected trip to see, Winry. I hoped that Mikayla could help me with my injuries. I also had to put Al back together which wouldn't be hard because only the front of the armor had came off.

"Mikayla, we're back!" I shouted as I came inside.

Silence

"Maybe she's outback brother." Al suggested.

"Yeah, maybe." I muttered.

I walked to the backyard and found nothing. I came back inside and said, "She's not outside."

"You don't think she tried to fallow, do you?" Al asked worriedly.

"I hope not." I walked down the hall and found the bathroom closed half-way, "Mikayla? What are you-?"

I opened the door and I could have sworn my heart skipped a beat.

"A-Al! Get Teacher, quick! Mikayla's hurt!" I shouted, down the hall.

I heard his heavy footsteps run to try to find our teacher. I quickly went over to her side. Blood was on her hands and some came from her mouth.

"Mikayla, what happened?" I whispered out loud, though I knew I wouldn't get an answer.

I scooped her petite body into my arms and carried her to the bedroom we shared. I laid her on her bed and when I did she groaned. She cough and some blood trickled from her mouth.

Her eyes opened to slits as she looked at me. The pained look on her face broke my heart.

"Ed." She whispered, "It hurts."

She sounded like a lost child.

"Everything will be okay, I promise. Al is getting Teacher." I told her softly. I laid a hand on her hair and stroked it a little. It as soft, wavy, and thick. I felt my face heat up and I took my hand away from her.

She coughed and struggled to fill her lungs to their full capacity. She wasn't crying now, but I could tell she had been crying earlier. Her brown eyes were red and her cheeks had some tear stains.

When Izumi walked in with Al and Sig close behind, Mikayla's whole body was trembling.

"Teacher, what's wrong with her?" I asked, fear clearly in my voice.

"Get back." She told me.

I stood back and watched as she began to look over Mikayla.

"Her body its going through a shock of some kind. We have to get her to a doctor." Izumi said. She backed away to let Sig pick Mikayla's trembling body up.

"Stay here and take care of Al, Ed. Mikayla will be fine." Izumi said, laying a hand on my shoulder.

"But Teacher, I-"

"Edward, stay here."

I watched her walk away and as fallowed by Sig. I just watched them walk away feeling useless.

"Ed." Al said, softly.

I clenched my fist, "Come on, Al. Let's go get you cleaned up."

"Ok, brother." He said, and fallowed me outside.

When we got out there I began to polish the front of his armor while he sat on the floor and waited.

"Don't worry brother, Mikayla will be fine, I just know it." Al said reassuringly.

I didn't answer him, I just continued to polish the armor. I was worried. Why was she coughing up blood like that? What had made her so sick?

"Brother do you like Mikayla?" Al asked, breaking the long silence.

I looked at him strangely, "Well, yeah, I mean-"

"No brother I mean like, like." He said.

I my face turned red, "Al! What would give you an idea like that! I can't exactly say I hate her but we fight all the time and-"

I heard my little brother giggle, "Then why are you always looking at her when she's not looking and you seem to be always worried about her."

"W-well of course I'm worried about her! She's coughing up blood and I do not look at her when she's not looking!"

"You sure were worried when you fought with her back when we were trying decipher the code. She was gone for two days and you wouldn't stop looking out the window hoping to see her return." He said, "If it was anyone else I'm sure you wouldn't act like that if it was any other person."

I looked away from him as I picked up the piece of armor.

"No answer brother?" Al laughed, "Oh well, I think I'm right."

"Al!" I exclaimed, "Y-your wrong!"

"Your in denial!"

"I am not!"

This is going to be a long night.

Real World

Mrs. Mitchell watched in horror as she watched her daughter shake violently.

"Mrs. Mitchell, I'm going to nee you to leave the room." the nurse said as the doctor because to work on her daughter.

"But-"

"Mrs. Mitchell please, we have it under control." She said.

The African-American women was forced to comply and wait in the hallway.

"Ms. Denise."

She women looked and saw Alexis, Mikayla's best friend.

"Is she going to be ok?" She asked worriedly.

"I don't know, Alexis."

It seemed like an eternity till the doctor came out of the room.

"Mikayla is stable now but she has slipped into a coma." The doctor said, sadly.

Denise gasped and covered her mouth. Tears brimming her brown eyes, "When will she wake up?"

The answer was the answer no mother wants to hear.

"I don't know."

Amistris

I opened my eyes slowly but closed them quickly. The light burned them and I groaned. I tried again and I rapidly blinked until I could finally see clearly so I could take a look at my surrounding.

The room was small and white with a chair at the other side of the room.

I felt something in my skin and I looked down and found an IV in my arm. The door opened and man in his mid-twenties in a medical jacket came in with a clipboard.

"Ah, Mikayla. Glad to see you awake." He said with a kind smile, "How are you feeling?"

"Better then I felt last night." I replied with a small smile.

He checked some machines and other things and wrote down notes.

"Your looking much better, you'll be able to leave tomorrow." He said.

"Thank you Dr.-"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm Dr. Justin." He said scratching the back of his head sheepishly, "Maybe I should have said that when I came in."

I giggled, "Its alright."

He smiled and walked out the room.

Oh my gosh I have a hot doctor!

He had gorgeous reddish-brown eyes and messy brown hair. He was also tall and muscular.

"Mikayla, stop day dreaming about that young doctor."

I jumped and saw Izumi standing there with a small smile.

"I-I was not!" I protested.

"So you were laying there with a goofy grin for no reason?"

I shifted my eyes back and forth a little, "Maybe."

She chuckled, "Well, Ed wanted to come in talk to you, so I'll talk to you later."

She walked out and a few seconds later Ed come in.

"Hey." He greeted as he brought the chair over to the side of the bed.

I smiled, "Hey."

"How are you feeling?" He asked.

"I feel a lot better actually." I replied.

"That's good." He said, then said softly, "You really gave me a scare last night."

"I'm sorry." I said, "I don't know what happened. One minute I'm reading the next I'm on the floor coughing up blood. I tried to go to my computer and look up what illness I had and maybe I could treat myself but my computer's all messed up."

Ed looked confused, "How so?"

"Well I went to look at a message but it was all blurry except for message its self. It said something about I wasn't suppose to contact my mother and that I was going to pay the consequences." I explained, "Ed…I think someone's after me."

Ed stiffened, "How? No one knows you."

"I know but." I took a deep breath and shook my head, "I don't know, maybe I'm overreacting."

Ed reached out with his human hand and touched my cheek, "If someone is after you, I promise I won't let them hurt you."

I felt my face heat up and the look in his golden colored eyes said he meant it.

"Thank you, Ed."

He smiled and stood up, "We'll be leaving tomorrow morning to Rushvalley so I can get my arm fixed. If you feel well enough you can come."

I nodded, "Alright."

"Bye, Mikayla." He said as he walked to the door he stopped in mid-step.

"What is it?" I asked.

He looked back at me for a second then shook his head, "Oh nothing."

He then walked out of the room.

I sighed and leaned against the wall outside of Mikayla's room. My face was hot and I knew it was red. I had meant what I said about protecting her but why do I keep wanting to touch her? It was weird and my body just acted on its on before my mind could do anything about it.

I covered my face with my auto-mail arm. I never felt this why when I'm around Winry. Mikayla was…well…different.

I sighed and shook my head as I pushed myself away from the wall to walk out of the small hospital.

Mikayla what are you doing to me?

Yes i understand that Ed was OOC but i thought this was an ok chapter =).

Hmm...i wonder who's after Mikayla *goes deep in though* ah well! Thank you for reading! Review please! It makes me happy and eager to write more!
