Side Story: A Gentle Happiness
Anything. Anything. I'll do anything. If it meant always being by your side.
"Do you remember what your assignment is…Lie?" said my dear shadow.
"…yes, infiltrate and kill."
"Good, Father will be pleased when you return, and you get to satisfy your hunger," he chuckled.
"Mm," I reply, rubbing my eyes as we continued past the Northern borders, into Drachma. I detest the snow.
"Don't forget Lie, the more missions you complete, the more favor you gain with father, and he could fulfill your wish."
"Yes…Pride."
"Now, don't get too upset, I'll be back to pick you up soon."
"I understand, hurry back please."
Brother have you heard. I've become a monster. I'm doing this for you, for us. Then we can be together forever. Don't worry you won't be lonely for long. I'm doing my best. I'm killing to find you. I have a demon in my belly or maybe I am the demon. Gomen Nasai.
"NO! STAY AWAY! PLEASE SPARE MY CHILD!"
So noisy. Fool, just accept your death quietly and carry on.
"PLEASE MY DAUGHTER, SHE'S JUST A GIRL."
My stomach ripped open again, and I swallowed the mother, I could feel her bones crunch between the teeth. I could feel her screaming inside me, it doesn't feel nice, but at the same time its thrilling.
"MAMA!"
The child looked around the age of a seven year old. Her hair was short and black, she looked familiar like I had seen a face like that before. Oh I remember the Xingese girl I had met many years ago, when i was still in Xing...what was her name?
"Tell me what is your name?"
"MAMA! MAMA! BRING HER BACK, GIVE ME MY MAMA BACK!"
"So noisy….."
Months passed brother, and I have not seen you since I came to this country. Did I displease you? I'm sorry. Hurry and come back, I'm tired of slaughtering these people like pigs. it's a huge mess, and I walk around covered in blood a lot, and I did not bring a pair of new clothes.
The people her call me a demon child, its just like back in Xing…the demon child. But you don't think I'm a demon. Do you? Brother I'm scared, I don't know what you think of me anymore. I'm starting to forget our times together, it's all blurry and its scary. No matter how much I detest the reality of it, I was only five years old. So obviously I would forget things. But I don't want it that way! I want to remember, I want to go back then.
Brother…brother….I'm forgetting myself too. I can't remember the kind of person I was before all this. Would I have turned out to be different if I had been born a different person. Brother I want to believe that my life was once something. I need proof. Proof that I was once a person, a human, a child, an ordinary girl.
I was meant to be so much more than this. Or you could say much less than this. I was supposed to grow up to be some beautiful smart young woman. I was supposed to be married off to some noble, but I wouldn't mind it too much, I would carry my head up high and fulfill my duties. I would raise beautiful children, they would be smart, athletic individuals. They would have a mind of their own. And they would never learn the feelings of misery or despair. They would never experience loneliness or desperation.
Brother…Brother…why are you not here with me, its been almost a year and word has got out that I am alchemy based weapon created from Amestris. Was this the plan. To create tension between Drachma and Amestris using me? I was sent to go on a killing rampage just to fulfill HIS wishes. Want about mine? When will my wishes be fulfilled. When will he give me my brother back. I promised I would do anything he asked, only if I could free your soul Brother. That, an that is all I need. Then after that, I will surely find a way to end my life. My long tiresome life. Maybe then I can rest. I wonder if I will be condemned for my sins. Will God take pity on me…I doubt…I've sinned…I've sinned.
"Lie, its time to go back home, you've done enough."
"Nii-Chan! You're back, I did what you requested of me. I killed whoever came up to me or whoever was nearby! Is he pleased?"
"Mmm, yes Lie, Father is pleased. You caused a bloody massacre here. Soon Drachma and Amestris will go into war, and then we will send you here again and cause a truce to be made."
"…."
"What is wrong Lie? Something the matter?"
"I don't like…I don't like it, why do you call him father, he is not your father, your father is the last King of Xerxes, why have you forgotten! You are a Prince! An angel! Not a demon!"
"Then what are you…Lie, are you yourself not a demon, in human standards that you so whole-heartedly live by, won't you be considered a demon, a monster. Lie even your eyes have become red like the blood you have spilled, your hands are immensely dirty. You hunger for blood, you thirst for humans agony. Do you honestly think it is normal for a human? You need to realize that you are no longer a pathetic weak being."
"Wait Nii-Chan!"
"Don't call me that. I am not your weak brother. I am Pride."
"Ree? Ree? Wake up its time to get off the train."
Opening my eyes I stare into hallow ones, and I remember it was all a dream.
"You're not too cold are you?" Alphonse said to me, with obvious concern.
Oh how I wish you didn't look at me like that. It makes e nervous. Every time you say my name, I get this emotion that wants to resurface from underneath me. But this feeling scares me. It reminds me of the one I felt for Nii-chan but…but different. Its exhausting, like it won't allow me to breath, my chest always feels tight, and it sometimes makes me feel desperate.
"ACHOO!"
"You are getting a cold!" Alphonse sighed.
"No, I'm fine, thank you Alphonse. I just feel a bit out of myself…"
"…."
"Is it me or are you two really clueless?" Edward sneered at us.
"Whatever do you mean son of a certain Imbecile who inherited the very same idiotic traits?"
"Ugh! Shut up YOU HAG!"
"HAG?"
THWONK
" Oww! Al what was that for?"
"Brother! You don't call girls Hags! That's just rude!"
"Whatever you're just saying that cuz you like her."
"Alphonse you like me?"
"Huh? Uh! Well yeah….I guess, it's not like I hate you."
"I like you to Alphonse…you remind me of my brother…if that's how you explain the situation."
"…Oh….thank you…Ree."
"Why do you sound sad about it? Do you not want to be thought of that way?"
"Oh no! I'm not sad Ree…or disappointed."
"Pfft, you mentioned being disappointed?"
"Brother!"
Smiling softly at the two boys walking in front of me I looked up at a sign that read Welcome to North City. Just beyond Briggs and then a few from the mountains lie Drachma. There were times I couldn't help but wonder, "what was I thinking?" or "I'm really and imbecile."
"Ree!" called out the two boys, "C'mon hurry up!"
But if being an imbecile for that period of time meant I could feel this small amount of peace now. Would it be wrong for me to be glad. Am I truly a monster for not being completely disgusted. If it meant meeting them. The important people of my life.
God, please forgive me. But a part of me is still happy.
Still happy.
That I persevered.
