Chapter Two: You can't hold me down

? Pov

I flung myself at my father almost causing me and him to fall out of the chair he was sitting in. It felt good to be back in his embrace after so many years. I had missed him so much. It hurt so much to know I was alone when I left. Now I was back. Only if mom was here I would be really happy then. The thought of mom made me sad. I could feel the tears start to swell up in my eyes. I quickly pushed my father away from me and turned my back to him.

"Saya," I heard him say.

A tear slipped by my defenses and fell down my cheek. It hurt me to do this but I couldn't forget what happened. The reason why I left. I heard him say something else but I blocked it out. I just needed to be alone right now.

"Out," I said pointing to the door.

"Saya, please don't be like this," I heard him say.

I couldn't take it anymore. My tears started to fall like buckets of water. This wasn't happening to me now.

"O-out," I said my voice cracking.

Without any objection he stood up from his chair and left. The door closed with a soft click behind him. I know I hurt him really bad but he was the one who hurt me first.

Hughes's Pov

I walked down the hall of my house. Saya, my oldest daughter, still blamed me for what had happened to her mother. I tried to rescue her but I couldn't. I had no other choice.

(Flashback)

Hughes ran through his burning house. He had to save his wife and five-year-old daughter. He pushed open a door to find his wife spread out on the floor. He quickly ran over to her and picked her head off the ground.

"Beth!" said Hughes.

"Don't (cough) worry about me. Save (cough) Saya," coughed Beth.

"I can't leave you."

"Our daughter is more important. Please just save Saya."

"I'm sorry Beth," said Hughes has he put is wife's head gently back onto the floor and ran out.

Hughes ran down the hall continuing to push down doors. He had to find his daughter. He heard crying from next to the room he was in. He quickly ran out of the room and kicked open the door to the next room. His daughter sat in a corner her legs pulled up tightly against her.

"D-daddy," stuttered the little girl.

"Come on Saya. I have to get you out of here," said Hughes picking up his daughter.

"What about mommy?"

"We have to leave her."

Hughes and his daughter had barely made it out of their house when the building collapsed.

(End Flashback)

I shook my head violently to forget that memory. I don't know how many times I tried to explain what happened to her. It was when she turned fourteen when the problem really started.

(Flashback)

"What! What do you mean you're remarrying!" yelled Saya.

"Please Saya keep you voice down. I think you could use a mother. I'm always gone to my job," said Hughes.

"You're forgetting I'm a State Alchemist. I'm hardly ever home just like you."

"I still think you could use a mother."

"No! Have you forgotten about my mother? I know I haven't. Did you really love her? It doesn't seem that way with you just rushing into another marriage!"

"I loved your mother dearly! I can't dwell on her though. I have to move on."

"You lie! I don't think you ever cared about mother! I never want to see you again!" yelled Saya running out the door.

(End Flashback)

She made well on her promise never to see me again. For five years she has been missing. When she finally comes back to me she still blames me for everything. I know I hurt her but she has also hurt me. I just want my regular little girl back
