The View from the Afternoon

Chapter.14

I suddenly remembered the stories of the young alchemist Edward Elric. He was able to transmute without the use of a circle. I wondered if I could do the same.

I clapped my hands, hopeful that it would achieve something. I closed my eyes. Slowly opening them to see the barrel of the gun still pointed at me.

'What the hell was that supposed to be!' shouted the Terrorist. He hit me with the gun, and I fell unconscious.

I had no idea how long I was out for. When I woke up I was lying on a bed in hospital. Matthew was there, sitting on a chair. I immediately sat up.

'Matt, what the hell happened!' I shouted. I grabbed my head in pain, it hurt so much.

'Your awake!' he said, surprised, 'I'll get the doctor,' he was about to rush out of the room.

'No wait, stay please,' I called. Matt looked at me, slowly walking to the chair and sitting down.

'Please tell me, what happened?' Matt dropped his head; I knew from that moment, it was bad news, and that I had failed.

The End
