Chapter Eleven: The Rain
Ed ducked around buildings and cars. Were was he going to find a newspaper. You'd think that they'd be easy to find, but they weren't.
Maybe they sell them in stores, just as Ed thought that, he saw a guy throw a paper into a trash can. Ed made his way to the trash. Reaching in, he pulled out a paper. "Central Time?" Ed read.
"Edward Elric?"
Ed turned around, dropping the paper. Two people stood behind him, too cops. One was a female with short cropped hair and a mole under here left eye. The other was a blonde male that looked like an older version of Ed himself. Both were wearing blue uniforms and shocked faces.
"How...?" the woman asked taking a step forward.
"You're mistaken!" Ed answered, running in the opposite direction.
"Wait!"
After a while, Ed made it back to the ally. Christy was pacing back and forth, muttering to herself, Tonia was taring blankly at the wall opposite, when she saw Ed enter, her face lit up.
"We're in someplace called central," Ed said sliding into sitting position next to Tonia.
"That makes sense! I knew we were in Amestris," Christy said smiling and sitting down. Amestris? Ed thought. He looked at Tonia for some kind of explanation. Tonia smiled and pulled out the Full Metal Alchemist storyline. She had underlined Amestris, Central.
"She can't talk," Christy said sadly, as Ed took the paper from Tonia. What? Ed shot his gaze back up at Tonia. Tonia shrugged, then smiled and mouthed Read it.
Ed turned his eyes back to the words. They explained that Amestris was a country that was parallel to London in the real world. It was a palace where Alchemy worked, there were other countries like Ishbal and Xing, bu this was the biggest.
"We're in a different world? I should have guessed," Ed said sarcastically, handing the information back.
"tucker was a character in the show, he lost his body, trying to bring his daughter, Nina, back from an experiment that he had done on her, she ended up dying. He had said something about Nina back there..." Christy said, looking up a the sky, "Its gunna rain, we need to find a roof and some food."
It was raining already. Tonia looked at the sky, she couldn't believe that they were actually going to beg for money.
"You're the most pathetic our of all of us, you can't speak and you can cry on command." Edward had said as he and Christy covered Tonia in dirt and begger-fied her. Now she here she was, sitting on the street, trying to look poor and pathetic. It wasn't hard to look sad.
A few people walked by, barely glancing at her, others asked if she was a circus reject. Dumb humans. People could be so mean sometimes.
"You poor thing. So young and already..."
Tonia looked up, the raid was hitting her face, so she had to blink rapidly to be able to see. She jumped as a dog barked. Blocking the rain with her hands, she looked up. The blurry figure slowly coming into focus.
Hawkeye! Tonia mouthed, recognizing the blonde woman. She had dark brown eyes that were stern but loving. In her hand was and umbrella and a dog leash. Black Hayate was sniffing Tonia's hair contently.
"Come with me, I have some food and shelter for you," she held out her hand. Tonia glanced in the ally behind her, then took Hawkeye's hand. She smiled and helped her up.
"Wait!"
Hawkeye glanced behind Tonia, who also jerked her head around. Ed and Christy ran out of the ally. Christy eyes gaped when she who who she was addressing.
Ed stepped forward, "Please take us with you. We don't have anywhere to go."
"Edward Elric?"
Tonia's gaze darted between the two, how would Hawkeye react? Surprisingly Hawkeye smiled and nodded. "Of course, come with me."
