Chapter 7 Father
The train's whistle rang to tell the people about the stop. Ed stood up as the trains whistle. Blaire and Al waited for the train to stop to stand up. The train stopped and Ed had practically was off the train as Blaire and Al started to walk for the door. They stepped outside and walked around. Blaire had no earthly idea where they were, all she knew that they weren't in central anymore. Ed and Al looked the same. "So, how long do we stay here?" Blaire asked walking into the town. There were kids every where, all playing tag and games. "Don't know as long as we need to." Ed said looking at all the kids. "I wish that where I grew up was like this…it was in Ishbal." Blaire thought to herself. They kept walking all thinking different things as they walked and explored the town. Blaire picked up the pass and walking into an in that she had sighted. "Wait up!" Ed yelled running after Blaire and Al fallowed. Blaire had already got a room that had two beds and a sofa. She was at the stairs that led to the second floor. "Come on! The quicker we can go explore." Blaire said running up the stares. Ed ran after her and Al was almost right next to her going up the stares. Blaire walked into the room with a smile on and was laughing a little. She opened the door and stopped dead in her tracks and her smile faded. Ed and Al ran in and stopped. "No…." Blaire said. "How did…." Ed started and Al gasped. "Good evening Elric's!" Armstrong said smiling holding some bags. Ed and Al turned to look at Blaire, who was stepping back slowly. "She never told me her last name and to become a state alchemist you have to have a first and last name, and Armstrong only said Elric's and Blaire was the first person in the room!" Ed thought to himself. "Is Blaire's last name Elric?" Al thought and turned to look at Blaire with Ed. Blaire was trying to sneak back out of the room but Ed grabbed her. "So, Blaire." Ed said pulling her into the room. Armstrong figured out what was going on and left the room. Ed looked from Blaire to Al with a sly look and back to Blaire again. "Crap, crap, crud, crap, crud!" Blaire thought to herself. "What is your last name?" Al said as Ed held onto Blaire.
-Hahahaha! Busted!-
Blaire tryied to squirm her way out of Ed but she twisted into an arm lock. Blaire eventually gave up trying to escape and looked at them. Ed and Al had a "Are you going to tell us yet?" look on there faces. "Elric…my last name is Elric." Blaire said looking at the ground. "I am your, well your sister…or half sister at least." Blaire said still looking at the ground, Ed let go of her and she feel onto the sofa. "How?" Ed said softly, but he knew the answer. "Why didn't you tell us sooner?" Al said, he thought that having a sister would be neat. "I don't know? I guess the right time for me to tell you hadn't come." Blaire said forcing herself to look up at Ed. Ed was standing in the same place and he was clenching his fists. Blaire knew what he was upset about. There father. "He left us and went to you!" Ed softly said to himself. Al and Blaire just heard mumbling. "How could he." Blaire said out loud. Ed looked at her. "That was my first thought and sentence when I found out." Blaire said looking from her feet to Ed's face. "I didn't know him, he was never home. And when I found out that he left you, the first thing was how could he? He left his children. My mom got on drugs or something like that when he left. Then she hated me. Your mom died waiting for him to come home…" Blaire was cut off by Ed. "You know nothing about her!" Ed yelled at Blaire. "Brother…" Al mumbled taking all of this information in. "You know nothing about me, mom or Al! So stop acting like you do!" Ed yelled still clenching his fists. "I am sorry." Blaire said standing up. "Blaire…" Al said he couldn't get any other words out of his mouth. Blaire got up and walked out of the room. "Brother, you didn't have to yell, it wasn't her fault."
"It is Al…" Ed said looking down. Al looked at him…"How is it her fault, it is dads fault. Not Blaire's." Al said looking at Ed. Ed didn't comment and just stood there. Thinking. "She went through the same thing, a father never home." Al said walking to the window.
