Chapter 4- On the road to becoming a State Alchemist part-2

Elle slowly walked upstairs. There were three doors It was easy to tell which room was Elle's because of she had a picture of Colonel Mustang and her name nailed to the door. The two others were plain white. She turned a coner and walked to the door on her right. As she got closer, her heart began pounding against her rib cage. She felt her whole body shiver when she put her hand on the doorknob to her father's room. She truned the knob of the door and walked in. Her father was lying in a whie bed, his back supported by massive sized pillows.

His name was Charlie. Charlie had pale carmel skin and snow white hair. Charlie was handson in a dark sort-a-way. There was also something else about Charlie. That something was the something made Elle want to run away to her room and cry. That somethig was her father's glaring red eyes, his temper and his anger towards the State Alchemist. "What do you want ?" Charlie whispered. "I wanted to tell you...that I'm going somewhere for a while. "Where?" he questioned, his voice still in a small whisper. Elle looked down.

She knew what he would say. She felt a knot build in her side. She rolled her eyes. " Just somewhere." "WHERE?" he shouted losing the whisper in his voice. The volume of his voice made her jump. "To Central." "Why?" She hated that. He knew why she wanted to go to Central. "Why do you think!" she replied frustrated. "Are you going to practice Alchemy?" Elle looked down and became silent. "Are you trying to become a State Alchemist?"

She continued to remained quiet. Charlie glared at her. His eyes looked like ruby colored flames. "ANWSER ME, YOU DISGRACE TO ISHBALA!" Elle otained an angry look on her face. " Yes, okay! Yes! I'm going to Central to become a State Alchemist, ok!" yelled Elle. "You're not going." "I am." repiled Elle, although she was terrified. "You dare answer me back!" he scolded, sitting himself up against the pillows. "Yes, I do dare! And it's because you don't listen! What's so bad about practing Alchemy! I don't-!" "You idiot! Alchemy is the practice of the devil's craft! I didn't fight in the rebellion to have a an idiot daugter practice Alchemy! I was parazalyed from the waist down because of that practice. Your not going and that's the end of it."

Elle's nose flared. She thighten her fist. "I'm going to become a State Alchmist and not even you will stop me!" She sceamed. Silence passed over the room. Charlie closed he's eyes and sighed. "You do what ever you want.." he whispered. "But, if you leave...I want you pack your shit and don't come back." Drops of water fell from eyes. Elle didn't want her father to see her weak, crying like a little baby. Yet still, her tears continued to fall. She wiped them away with sleeve. She wasn't going to roll over for him, she was going to fight.

"If that is your choice, then I will make mine..." said Elle, her tears dried. She looked up at Charlie. " Sayanora daddy!" she said leaving her father's room. She fled to her room and packed her things in a suitcase. In a rush to grab every shirt she had, she knocked down a picture of her mother. Her mother's name was Iris. Iris was beautiful Ishbal woman with beautiful carmel skin and smile to match. Elle watched the picture til more tears overflowed in her eyes.

She embaced the picture. "I'm sorry, mother but I can't stay here..." she whispered. " Please.. forgive me." She looked at the picture again and kissed. She quickly stored it in her bag with the rest of her things. Her grabed the suitcase and walked down the stairs. " Ok, I'm ready to go." She said smiling. Ed looked up. "About time. What took you so long?" " I was talking to my pops. Now I'm ready to go." said Elle. "You su-?" "NOW.." she cut Ed off. Ed looked at Al. Al shuged. Ed nodded and stood up.

Belinda watched Elle very closely. "Nato sue baki Mester Charlie sted?" (what did your dad say?) said Belinda. "I'm ready to go Belinda." said Elle. Belinda understood. "Ok.." she nodded. She walked to the door and opened it. Elle put on her boots and walked towards the door. Before she walked out the door, Belinda touched her shoulder. "No matter what you do benti ( my child) I will always be by your side." Elle smiled. Belinda hugged her and Elle hugged her back. Elle smiled and said " Thank you, Belinda." she walked out.

Ed followed her and was stoped by Belinda. He looked up to Belinda's harden face. "Look boy, I don't know if I can trust you but..." She closed her eyes. "Please, watch over her. Make sure that she is safe..." she opened her eyes. "She alot more special than you think. Please promise me." Ed nodded. "Yeah, I promise. Don't worry nothing will happen." said Ed as he walked out. Belinda looked a Al, "You too ok big guy." Al nodded. "Sure." he said. He followed his older brother. "Oh and please don't tell her I asked you this." Both of the boys nodded and walked off.
