Chapter 21
"IF you don't mind me asking, what was the dream about"? Riza asks. I sigh and look at my hands, I honestly don't want to remember that dream, I don't even understand why it showed me that. Even so I had dreamt it, and I don't know why? What was the meaning of it?
"You don't if you don't want to, but... You kept on saying Envy's name over and over again", Riza stats as she sits back in her chair more comfortably. I look at her and groan then lay back so I'm now staring at the ceiling.
"What is going on with you? I mean, the way I remember you, isn't the way your letting others see you"? Riza asks.
"I don't know, I wish I did", I stat.
"Has something happened, between... You know"? She asks not actually trying to stat it.
"No, no oh god no", I say as I sit up again and give her an odd look.
"So nothing really did happen"? She asks once more.
"No", I answer.
"And you don't sound upset about it", she points out. I look at her confused, what did she take me for? Some one easy, and besides I don't think he would want to do that... Maybe.
"Why should I be, we aren't officially dating yet, so how could that happen"? I ask.
"No? That's shocking, after learning that the two of you actually like each other I would of thought", she says.
"Yeah well its more complicated for Envy then it is for me, I'm sure he don't really know", I say as I look at my hands.
"Why don't you make him find out"? Riza asks. I look at her wide eyed at what shes insinuated.
"I can't, I couldn't.. I'm not like that", I say just thinking about it makes me nervous. Riza then starts laughing like a maniac. I look at her confused.
"Are you sure that he is a 'he'"? Riza asks, after she gained control over herself.
"Yeah", I stat.
"You sure about that, have you seen him"? She then asks.
"N-no, but he isn't a woman", I point out. She just shakes her head and leans forward a bit in her chair.
"A woman don't actually have to have breasts you know", she says. I'm sure he is a male, not a female, I mean he acts more like a man then he does a woman, and besides he had even said that he is a boy. I remember a few days after Father had taken me in I had asked him. He simply out right and told me he is male.
"I'm certain he is what every one had told me and him himself told me, I've been with him long enough to know", I say.
"If you say so", she shrugs her shoulders.
"Lisa, you ok"? A small voice asks and I look over as well as Riza and see little Elicia rushing into the room.
"Elicia, what are you doing here"? I ask as she jumps up on the bed with me and hugs me as though I am about to disappear any second now.
"We heard you where in the hospital because of a break down, so she wanted to come see how you where doing", Gracia says as she walks in then stops beside Riza.
"I made this for you", Elicia says then she pulls out a picture she had drawn and hands it to me. I take it from her and unfold it then smile, she drew a picture of Winry, Ed and Al on it, as well as myself, then her and her mother. I look at it for a brief moment and sigh she had also drawn her father on it as well.
"Thank you, its beautiful", I say, and shuffle her hair around making her giggle.
"Well I should get back to my duties", Riza says and gets to her feet.
"Would you like me to call the Rockbell's for you"? She asks.
"No, no its ok, I don't want to worry them", I stat, she nods her head and turns then walks to the door. Gracia takes the set and smiles warmly at me.
"Do you know how you did"? She asks. I look at her and shrug my shoulders, "Not sure, need to wait I believe another day or till lunch today".
"I'm hoping for my friends sake that I did perfect", I say and sigh.
"This friend of yours, his name is Envy right? When will Elicia and I be able to meet him"? Gracia asks. I gulp knowing what he had done to their family.
"Well he is in Ed's home town, so its a distance away", I say trying to come up with something.
"Why didn't he come with you"? She asks. I know she means well by trying to talk about him but I'm afraid that I'll blurt it out to the fact he was the one that killed Hughes, I don't know what she would do.
"Gracia"? I ask trying to be serious.
"Yes, dear"? She asks. I look at my hands and let out a long breath before speaking again, "Let's say you knew who Hughes demise was, what would you do"? I ask. I had to think of a word that Elicia wouldn't understand, cause I know its been harder on her then her mother.
"I don't know, Winry had told me about when she found out that this Scar character was the reason for her parents... I might feel like doing the same thing she had", Gracia answers truthfully.
"Why"? I sigh and shake my head, "Oh nothing, just curious if every one was like Winry".
"What's on your mind"? She asks.
"Its just I know who it was that ended up taking my whole family, and I can't seem to hate them for it, I just don't know why", I say, feeling a tear going down my face.
"Elicia honey, can you go and get mommy a soda"? Gracia asks as she pulls out some change to give her daughter.
"Yes mommy", Elicia says excitedly and takes the money then rushes out the door.
"Oh Lisa I don't know who it is but maybe your different then every one else, maybe you see the good in every one when it may not be their", she says as she puts her hand on my back.
"Its just one of the ones that took them away from me, had made me feel like I belonged with them, he made me feel safe, and I can't help that I can't hate him for what he had caused me", I say, none of this actually really bugs me, I did manage to say goodbye to my parents, but its just the thought that I felt safe with the very people that had killed my whole city.
"Maybe he felt bad for what he had done and wanted to atone for it, I know if I where in your shoes I don't think I would of been strong enough to lean on any one who caused me so much pain, but as far as I can see, is that your stronger then you actually let on", Gracia stats with a smile.
"I got it mommy", Elicia says as she rushes back into the room.
"Thanks sweaty", Gracia says to her daughter.
"Thanks Grace", I say she only smiles warmly at me.
"Well Elicia and I should be on our way", Gracia says as she gets up.
"See you Lis, hope you get better soon", Elicia says as she waves at me as she walks beside her mother heading toward the door.
"Thanks for visiting", I say. I then look at my hands and sigh then that dream I had comes back to my mind.
"Could that have been something that might of been"? I ask. Shaking my head I lay back down and stair at the ceiling once more, my mind travelling over to how Envy is.
A few hours later the doctor came into my room and told me I'm free to go, now I'm walking by the fountain that Ed and Al had once talked. Watching the water come out of its spout and going into the pool of water bellow, I sigh and sit on the ledge and look at the ground.
"Hey Lisa"! I hear a voice yell at me, so I look over at the source and narrow my eyes, its Krista, don't get me wrong she is nice and all but she just isn't my type of friend.
"I made it as a soldier, isn't that great", she says as she waves her paper around. I just smile at her and nod my head.
"I think you can check and see if you made it", she says. I sigh and nod my head then get up, walking with her back to central and walking into the building then to a room I hadn't been in before.
"I don't think I seen your name", she says.
"Lisa, you have to go up and see the Fuhrer, he actually just called down here", the man says sitting behind the counter.
"Oh my god, you know what this means"? Krista asks. I look at her and shrug my shoulders.
"You may have become a state alchemist", she says. My eyes widen and she then signals for me to follow her and so I do, we both rush to where the Fuhrer's office is. I knock on the door and wait for some one to tell me to come in. When they do I open the door while Krista wishes me luck and close it after ward.
I narrow my eyes when I see Mustang in the room as well. I walk over to the desk and stand in front of it.
"Lisa Sayotanna is it"? The old man asks still looking at the paper in his hand.
"Yes, sir", I answer.
"Welcome to the stat alchemist's", he says and puts the sheet of paper down and looks at me with a smile on his face.
"A-are you serious"? I ask. He only chuckles but nods his head as his answer. I look over at Mustang and he smiles at me too.
"And since that is said, now you have full responsibility for Envy, plus, your state name is the static alchemist", he stats as he gets to his feet. I blink a few times and look at him as though he had gone senile.
"What, couldn't I have a better name then that, like the beast alchemist, or flash alchemist, or...", "Enough", Mustang cuts in.
"The Fuhrer has spoken and respect that name", Mustang says. I groan and look down to the ground.
"But why Static"? I whisper.
"Oh look their goes the alchemist that will give you a bad hair day", I then randomly point making it look like I'm not me but the invisible person walking is.
"To be honest with you, I couldn't come up with a good name for your abilities, but your now one of us", he says. Sighing I salute the Fuhrer and he salutes me back.
"So who am I working under"? I ask. The old man looks over and my eyes trail over to Mustang and my face drops.
"Come now, it would be nice to work under me", he says.
"Yeah right, the stuff you did with Ed", I then say. The old man laughs and clears his throat then walks over to me. He holds out his hand with the pocket watch in his hand and smiles at me once more.
"Sweet, but I'm not going to take orders from the likes of him", I say pointing over to Mustang.
"Hey 'him' here has a name, its Roy Mustang, and to you its General", Mustang says.
"Yeah yeah you fire horse", I say as I turn and start walking toward the door.
"Fire what"? Mustang asks as I open the door and walk out into the hall, when it closes I hear the old man laughing. I get half way down the hall when I hear, "Stat Alchemist"! I stop and look back to see Mustang coming toward me. I groan and wait for him.
"What do you want, Gen-a-role"? I ask as he gets to me. He just groans but looks at me seriously.
"I honestly don't know how to command you around, since you do have that Homuculi with you", he says.
"He isn't a homuculi, he has a name, its Envy! Remember it"! I scream at him.
"If you haven't forgotten he is one of the main ones that caused so much damage"! Mustang yells back.
"I don't care, he had orders and besides, you don't know what he had gone through", I say and look down.
"What ever, but now that your to be his guard of sorts, you should head back now", Mustang says. I groan at him and turn around.
"I will when I feel like it", I stat.
"Hey, I have to get back to work, unlike some people here", he stats.
"Then go to work", I say.
"I have to get your ticket remember", Mustang points out.
"Then wait till I decide to go back, and besides, I have other things on my mind, so if you'll excuse me", I say and start walking, I smile when I don't hear his foot steps behind me.
"Wow I'm surprised you talked to General Mustang like that", Krista says coming out of no where startling me.
"Don't do that", I say glaring at her. She smiles cheekily at me.
"So where you headed"? She asks.
"I'm going to do some research on something, I don't know what, but I'm going to do it", I say with determination.
"Right", she says. We walk to the library that they have in the building and I randomly grab some books not actually knowing what I'm looking for and start reading.
"Hey, um, Lisa are you ok"? Krista asks a few hours later. I have my head down on one of the books I had been reading not too long ago and groaning as though I'm in pain.
"L.. Lisa"? She asks once more.
"I'm overloading my head with this information and I don't even know what I'm looking for", I groan.
"If you tell me what it is that is on your mind then maybe I can help you", she says as she sits down in the chair on the other side of the table. I look up at her and she flinches.
"What, do I look that bad"? I ask. She only nods her head at me but then shakes her head and clears her throat.
"You don't take in information that well do you"? She asks a smirk playing at her lips. I just shake my head as I look at her, watch her take some of the books and close them then stack them nicely on the table.
"So you care to tell me what is on your mind"? She asks.
"What are you looking for"? I sigh and look down at the book that is open that I had rested my head on and then look back up at her.
"I want to find some scientific terms for dreams", I answer.
"Oh, ok, lets see", she says as she goes through some of the books that haven't yet been touched.
After a long while we had come to the conclusion that dreams can actually help show you what is to come in the future, and for most animals that dreams is also a means to help be aware of danger. But some of the time, or most of the time they are only meant to get rid of junk, things that isn't needed in the mind.
Why is it that I have these odd dreams, I know the one that has many names had actually seen me their, but... I can't help if I was actually a sleep in both areas, or even why I would dream of Envy's death. I don't understand why?
"Earth to Lisa", I get snapped back to here and now by Krista waving her hand in front of my face.
"What"? I ask.
"We should get going, its late", she says. I sigh and nod my head, then help her put some of the books away. Once that task is done we both walk out of the entire building and part ways, I head to the hotel while she heads home. I take my time on my way back, with many things on my mind, one of which is what will happen next, what is the next part in my book of life? Sighing once more I look ahead of myself and walk just a bit faster.
I only stop after hearing some sounds in an alley that I was about to pass. My eyes widen when three men come walking out, all laughing and looking right at me.
"What are you doing out here sweat heart, so late"? One of them asked as he looked me up and down then licked his lips.
"Yeah you look so fine that we should take you home", another adds in and the three of them come closer to me.
"No, I'm fine on my own really", I say as I back up, they don't bother to stop.
"No sweat thing we are going to have some fun with you first", the last one finally speaks up. They spread out some blocking my path to run, and then I'm stopped suddenly and look behind me, Just great, walking into a wall, how stupid can one be? Looking around I wouldn't have enough time to get an attack ready, so I just wait.
"What do you think we should do with her"? The first man asks.
"Take her clothes off first, that's for sure, lets see what she has for us", another laughs.
"D-don't you touch me"! I yell at them trying to look strong. Even though I've actually been through hell and back, the one thing I actually fear the most is what might or will happen to me right here and now.
"Oh ho look we have a feisty one boys", the third man says. The others all laugh some more.
"Where is your prince charming"? One of them asks.
"He'll be along shortly and let me warn you he isn't one to take this kind of thing too lightly", I try to make myself really believe it so that they would.
"Don't lie like that sweat thing", one man says as he approaches me, letting me get a good look at his face, he has slicked back brown hair, and hazel eyes as well as one tooth missing and facial hair that seems to make him look old, but I'm sure he isn't any older then 25. He reaches his hand out and touches my cheek with the back of it.
"Your skin is so soft, just the way I like it", he says with a huge grin on his face, he then takes his other arm and snakes it around my waist pulling me into him. I put my arms out front and try to keep myself from touching him, but he over powers me and places a rough kiss on my lips, making me nearly gag right their.
"She is fighting boys, lets do something about it", he says as he laughs. Another one of the men come walking over he looks younger then even me but the darkness I can see in his eyes lets me know that he isn't afraid to do any thing.
"Let me", he says, this man has no hair, at all, he is bold and with blue eyes. The first man lets me go and my head jerks to the side as the bold man hits me on the side of the face with the back of his hand sending a tinge of pain through my jaw.
"Behave you slut"! He growls at me. I glare at him and then spit in his face, he only growls and hits me again making me take a step to the side into the last man, who catches me and places his one hand directly on one of my breasts and giving it a light squeeze.
"So where is this boy toy of yours"? The slicked back haired man asks.
"Stop touching me"! I scream and swing with my hand in a fist and pouncing the man in the face.
"You bitch"! Is all I hear before I get hit back to the wall, my nose hurts, and a headache starts. I groan but don't scream out for any help I would make things worse if I did that. So instead I focused on my hands, bring them together as though I was praying for a brief moment and put them back to my sides.
"You'll think twice next time", the one I hit says as he walks over to me and grabs my throat and holds his face just inches from mine. I only give him a smile and then say, "Take this you motherfucker". With that I bring both my hands up and place them on the sides of his face, but nothing happens.
"Ha, that all you got"? He asks. I look at him confused then I see his hair, and try my hardest not to laugh.
"Dude, what is going on with your hair"? The bold one asks.
"Nothing now shut up", the man says. He looks back when his companions burst out laughing, it turns out I didn't actually put anything dangerous into my hands, but just plain old static which in turn, made the mans hair stand straight on edge, and his hair is long, it was to the middle of his back and now its straight up into the air.
"Static Alchemist", is what goes through my head his voice and all.
"Please", I whisper so low that none of them heard me. The man that has a hold of me turns to the side and gasps. He then faces me once more and holds onto my neck tighter causing me to chock.
"What the hell did you do to me"? He asks.
"I.. Stati... ced your a...ass", I manage to heave out, and also let out little squeak laughs.
"You bitch"! He screams and pulls me forward then with all the strength he has he heaves me back and a jolt of pain goes down my spin as I hear a creak sound, but not able to fully feel the back of my head.
"Fix it, then we can finish with you"! The man yells at me, as he lossens his grip on my throat some.
"N-no", I say and close my eyes. He then tosses me to the ground and hovers over me. I look up at him and then down and my legs, smiling to myself despite the pain I feel going through my body, I lift my leg and kick him as hard as I can in the crouch and he topples over calling me a bitch and groaning in agony. The others rush over to me and then one kicks me in the gut a few times while the other kicks my back.
"E-Envy", I say pain shooting all through my body.
"Is that your lover boy"? One of them asks as he leans down and grabs my hair in his hands and forces me to lift my head.
"Maybe we should give your face a good beating too", he says.
"J-just t-try it", I say to him with a small smile coming to the corner of my mouth. He brings his other hand over and points his finger at my nose, touching it.
"J-just d-don't touch m-me with y-your", I say and move my aching head and chomp down on his finger hard enough that I can feel the warm liquid go into my mouth as well as the metallic taste of blood.
"You bitch let go of me finger"! He screams at me, but I refuse to let go of it, if I can immobilize him then I'll only have the last one to worry about.
"She'll tear it off, hurry", he calls to his other friend.
"On it...", then I see him get tossed over myself and the man that I have a hold of his finger.
"Ow what is your problem", he asks and gets up then his eyes widen. I hear growling from behind me and then a loud bark.
"Oh shit, oh shit, that guy just turned into a wolf", the man with his finger occupied says as he tries to get his finger out of my mouth. My eyes widen and I let him go and look behind myself and see the purple eyes of Envy staring back at me, then he turns his attention to the others and growls. I look him over, he is a large wolf that by looks of it would stand to my waist and he is black and white.
"How dare you"! He then growls and jumps over me and grabs the man by the arm with his jaws.
"What the hell are you"? The man asks and pounds Envy's face with his fist, but all I hear is something snap as Envy brings his jaws closer together and a deafening scream goes through the ally. I look over and flinch as the man I had kicked earlier comes at Envy with a knife and stabs it into Envy's chest. Groaning he lets go of the arm and then gets up on his back legs and goes back to looking like Envy with the knife lodged into his chest.
"No way, you can't be", the man says as he steps back.
"Yes, yes I am, I'm a homunculus, and I'm one of the two that is still alive", Envy says. He then groans and pulls out the knife, and the red sparks appear and his wound is gone.
"Don't kill them", I manage to say before the pain became too much and I pass out.
When I woke up, my head throbs, my whole body aches. I groan as I open my eyes and look around the room. No one else is around and I'm right back in the hospital.
"Was it? No it couldn't be", I say to myself. Closing my eyes I then sit up and as I did the person I thought wasn't here and I was just seeing things walks through the door.
"What the hell where you thinking"? He instantly says, not, your up how you feeling? No he had to yell at me.
"It wasn't my fault you know", I say.
"What ever happen to you being able to defend yourself? All this studying crap has caused you to be useless", he stats. I only look at the can of soda he has in his hand and smile some.
"Wait, your harping at me when I don't know how the hell you got here", I say. He sighs and walks over to the empty chair and sits down on it, leaning over some and looks at me.
"I got here by train, how else", he says.
"But you have no money", I stat.
"I got pipsqueak to pay my fair", he replies. I only blink my eyes at him unable to say a single word.
"So..", he trails.
"How did you do"? He asks.
"I'm a stat alchemist", I say and look down, no way in hell I'm telling him my name.
"That's good", he stats. I then grin and look at him and say, "Ha, now Mustang has to pay your ticket back". He just smiles at me and leans back in the chair and taking a sip of the soda.
"What is your stat name"? He asks. I narrow my eyes at him and look down.
"What"? He asks.
"Nothing just don't like the name", I stat.
"Let me guess, static"? He asks, I look at him wide eyed and nod my head shamefully.
"Figured, one of your attackers hair was on end, literally", he laughs.
"Yeah but after showing them what I could do I couldn't even use my attack, instead I staticed his ass... So not fair", I pout.
"Hey Lisa, heard your back in the hospital...", Riza trails as soon as she walks into the room and sees Envy.
"Yo", he says and takes another sip of his soda.
"How, when"? She asks unable to figure it out.
"The Elric pipsqueak paid my fair here", Envy answers as though its normal.
"Oh", Riza says.
"Wait, what do you mean again, you where in her before this"? Envy asks turning his attention on me.
"Yeah, but nothing bad happened I swear", I say.
"She only had a mental..", "Riza"! I yell at her.
"Is that so, not surprising", Envy then says.
"Hey can I have a sip of your soda"? I ask. He looks at his soda and then back at me and replies, "I know your sip is taking the rest of it". I smile sweetly at him and I just watch Riza watching the two of us with a smile on her face.
"Pretty please", I plead. Groaning he takes a sip and then hands the can over, and I take it then drink the rest of it, which was half.
"Thanks", I say after tossing the can into the trash can.
"He knows you too well", Riza says.
"We have known each other for years", Envy stats, then he gets up and looks at Riza. He points to the chair and she smiles and takes it.
"Thanks", she says and turns her attention to me.
Finally caught up, hope you guys liked the chapter, and the many more to come.
