She is my sin
Ok, some sad fic because I'm not in the mood to end "Adoption" so I'm going to kill someone, heh. Story is... ok, my sis doesn't want to read it! RoyxRiza – not exactly, maybe in the third chapter, but I'm planning to write only two. Ok, still practising to First Certificate and still having lots of problem in writing. So, help me, please. Oh, forgive me this melodramatic plot but...
Disclaim: I don't own FMA (imagine it: I owning FMA!) and title (at first it is Nightwish's title). If someone titled his/her fic the same, forgive me!
Spring was beautiful in the Central City. Flowers were blooming earlier than usually. Young birds were also borne earlier, that's why all City's Park were full of their songs. Not many people could admire it. In the middle of the park, on a bench hidden in the shadow of old oak two people were sitting and enjoying themselves.
"Roy?"
"Yes?"
"I love you"
"I love you too Kate"
Even if she knew it, she blushed. She turned her face from him. He looked at her. She was the most beautiful woman he ever met. Her red eyes, long blonde hair, thinking about her made him crazy. He wanted to give her all his life. Yes, it was love. The most beautiful love Roy had ever experienced. And she was with him.
"Will you marry me?"
"What do you think?"
She turned her red eyes on him. He smiled.
"Yes" he brought closer to her.
They kissed. She placed her soft hand in his. He buried his nose in her fragrant hair.
"You are beautiful Kate"
"You too Roy!" she laughed.
Another kiss. He reached for his pocket. Gold ring shined in the morning light. She was happy. She thanked him a lot and put ring on her shapely finger. He kneeled down and kissed it gently.
"Roy..."
He stood up and gave her a happy smile. She smiled back and pulled his arm.
"It won't bother you if you have National Certificate Alchemist as your husband?" he asked.
"Not at all. I'll be happy if you finally take this exam."
"It is possible that I will go on a war"
"No." She placed her soft cheek to his palm. "They won't sacrifice valuable alchemists."
"Who say I am valuable?"
"I" they laughed. But it was time to leave so Roy said goodbye to his beautiful fiancée and went back to his apartment. He had a lot to study. Being National Certificated Alchemist had been his dream since he learned about it primary school. Being something important, someone well-known, yes, it was what Roy wanted to achieve. His girlfriend Kate wanted for him the same despite she didn't like the military. She was half Ishvarian – daughter of exile who decided to learn alchemy and was, because of that, abandoned. That's why her eyes were red.
In the evening he met with his old friend Hughes. He told his the great news about marriage with Kate.
"Roy, you devil!" he received light punch from Maes "You are going to marry first! And what about me?! Wait for me my friend! We will get married together!"
"You even don't have fiancée"
"Oh, I'll find one! I will ask Gracia, she is a good girl."
"Maes!" Roy shook his head. "You are... my bestman. See, you can't get married in the same time because I need you."
"Ok, ok. Everything for you Roy. And for Katrina Mustang."
In the day of exam Kate wore her best dress. She came to Roy in the morning, made him a breakfast and did the last test before exam. He was watching her and thought he had been the happiest man in all world. She was just perfect. Perfect was her breakfast, perfect suit she chose him and gave him perfect kiss for good luck.
"I'll wait for you in the evening" she said smiling "And we will have a dinner and..."
"...and?" he smiled and returned her kiss.
The exam took place in the Central Headquarter in a big room looking like lecture chamber. When young alchemists were passing the corridor with military offices Roy looked around. He felt it was so unreal – he and the military. He, husband of Kate, careless father of young child, and solider? No, it couldn't be. But when he was opening his exam's paper, he thought about her. She will be happy if he passed. She believed in him. He couldn't betray her.
Exam wasn't so difficult. In fact, it was quite easy. Military were in need for some alchemist because of rebellion or something like that. So even this weird Armstrong was able to pass. Really, only fool didn't write it. Of course it was Roy's point of view. He did everything correct and was very proud of himself. Other tests, taking in the same day were skill test and the interview. When he had one behind him, he knew he would become State Alchemist. He wanted to phone Kate but she wasn't at home.
Skill test – pretty easy! Hey where was this famous level of Certificate? He couldn't wait till evening and date with Kate. She would be very proud of him. The last was an interview. Roy didn't loose his self–confidence. He went firmly into interview room. He sat on the chair standing in the middle of transmutation array. All the lights were placed on him.
"Why do you want to become a State Alchemist?" a questioned was heard
"Because I want to help my country in the best way." he answered.
"You are quite young mister Roy Mustang"
"Yes, I am." He admitted.
"Do you have your own family?"
"Yes" he was proud "I have a fiancée. We will marry soon."
"Miss Katrina Feather?"
"Yes!" Roy was surprised "How do you know it?"
"Mister Mustang" it was certainly Fuhrer's voice! "At first I have to congratulate you. Welcome to military, Major Mustang."
"Oh" Roy was satisfied, but he predicted it "Thank you Fuhrer."
"It is a big distinction but responsibility too. You must show you are strong and show no mercy to your opponents. But you have to be strict to yourself too. All your movements will be seen from this day. If you are good to the country, you will be rewarded."
"Thank you Fuhrer"
"Your fiancée, Katrina Feather, daughter of Ishvarian exile was murdered today."
"WHAT?!" Roy couldn't believe what he had just heard.
World collapsed. All what he had been doing and what he had done – was for her.
"It can't be true!" he shook his head.
"She was murdered by Ishvarian citizen today, between midday and 14 p.m. It was a punishment of not praying to Ishvarian god and having relationships with none-ishvarians."
"But... but she wasn't an Ishvarian! She even had never been to Ishvar! And the colour of her skin! NO! IT ISN'T TRUE!"
"Please calm down Major. We all understand your pain but know you have to be strong and brave. You are the State Alchemist now. I'll send you to Ishvar. Please report on Friday evening. And please take my condolence."
Roy went out of the interview room. Why? WHY? Why she? Why now? They almost get married! Why did someone murder her?
