Hello,
I will start to seperate some sentences from now on.
Just to let you know, Sarai has golden brown hair(Brown hair with gold highlights), brown eyes, and has dark skin. Here is the next chapter.
disclaimer: If I owned Ed, my life would be perfect...It would be nice if you don't rub it in!
Ch. 3 Awakening Dream
I took out a piece of thread and a needle.
"What are you doing?" asked Ed.
We ran over a bump on the railroad and I dropped the needle.
"I'm gonna sew up the holes in my arm. It interfere's with alchemy." I replied after I found the needle.
Ed then looked back at his map and Al stared out the window.
"So," Al piped up, "where are we going?"
"To Lyore." Ed and I replied at the same time.
"Hey, why are you two traveling together anyway?" I asked.
"We are brothers" Al replied.
"I'll take a wild guess and say that Ed is younger 'cause your taller." I said pointing to Al.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SOMEONE SMALLER THAN A MOLECULE OF AIR IN AN OCEAN!" yelled Ed.
"I didn't say any of that!" I retorted.
Ed then sat down and looked at the map again. "Finished." I said after five minutes. Al came over and looked at my arm. "I can't tell if it was there." said Al.
I then took out a spare map from my pocket and asked, "Since there's a desert we need to cross, won't we need to stock up on supplies?"
"Yeah, why?" asked Ed.
"I have some friends that live near the station. We might not have to spend anything." I replied.
"Okay, then we'll stop by when we get off the train." Ed replied. I nodded and then I fell asleep.
(((Space)))
Ed watched her fall asleep put of the corner of his eye. She's not so bad when she's sleeping. Ed thought.
"Brother," Al asked.
"Yeah, Al?" Ed replied.
"Don't you wonder what happened to Sarai's family?" Al asked.
"I never thought of that." Ed replied looking at his map.
(((Space)))
Were her parents murdered? Did they leave her? I guess we'll never know. Al thought and sighed.
(((Space)))
I was eight. I was running. I passed a sign that said 'Resembool'. I ran to a hill with a house on it. I heard a gunfire. I then heard the splintering of wood. I then heard someone come out the door. I looked and there were two boys. One had blonde hair and gold eye's while the other had brown hair and brown eye's.
Ed? Al? I thought a bit confused.
I then heard another gunfire and I felt a white hot pain in my shoulder blade. I heard yelling and screaming as I collapsed. I opened my eye's again and there was a women with brown eye's and brown hair leaning over me. She picked me up and brought me in the house.
She then put me on the couch and went into the kitchen. Ed and Al came over, but they looked anxious.
"Why was that man chasing you?" asked seven year old Al.
"I-I don't k-know." I replied shakely from the pain.
"Don't worry. We'll help you." eight year old Ed said with enthusiasim.
Then the women came back into the room. She wrapped my shoulder with a rag. I gasped from the pain as it made a round trip through my body.
"I'm sorry." The women replied as it began to rain.
"What is your name?" asked the women.
"Sarai." I replied with difficulty.
"My name is Trisha and this is Ed and Al." She replied as she pointed to them.
"Hi." Ed, Al, and I replied at the same time.
"Okay. Ed, Al, why don't you go wash your hands for dinner." asked Trisha.
"Okay!" Ed and Al replied as they ran to the bathroom. Then a crackle of lightning woke me up and I yelped.
I covered my mouth quickly as Ed asked "Are you okay?"
"I-I'm f-fine." I replied quickly and Ed continued looking at the map.
I reached my hand back and felt my left shoulder blade. I made a little gasp as I felt a mark on it. Was it real? Was it a dream? I felt the mark again. No. This was real. I thought as we pulled into the station.
"Well we're here!" I yelled happily as I got off the train.
I then waited for Ed and Al to get off. Then I turned around and saw a man with an 'X' shaped scar on his forhead walking around. I looked at his arm and saw a bit of a tattoo. I ran after him as he went around a corner.
"Sarai!"
I turned around and saw Ed running towards me. I ran around the corner and smacked into the guy with the scar.
"May I see your tattoo?" I asked Scar.
"No." He replied and turned around.
"Sarai!" Ed yelled as he and Al came around the corner and gasped.
Scar turned around and said "Fullmetal Alchemist!".
Scar then pushed me out of the way and advanced towards Ed. I then grabbed chalk out of my pocket and began scribbling furiously. I then placed my hands on the circle and a flash of light went straight towards Scar. A cage appeared before Scar and trapped him.
"Al, let's go!" yelled Ed as the cage began to break.
I then ran ahead of Ed and Al to direct them to my friend's house. After ten minutes of running, we came to my friend's house.
"Korayna!" I yelled as I ran to the top of the steps.
(((Space)))
Ed finally got to the top of the steps when a women with dark skin, hazel eye's, and brown hair opened the door.
"Hello, Sarai!" the women yelled and hugged Sarai.
"Hello, Korayna." Sarai replied.
"What brings you back here?" asked Korayna.
"We were wondering if we could borrow some supplies." Sarai replied.
"Who are these gentlemen? Is the blonde one your boyfriend?" asked Korayna.
"No!" Sarai yelled blushing, "they're friends!"
"Oh... What are their names?" asked Korayna.
"I'm Edward El--" Sarai then slammed a hand against Ed's mouth. "He's Ed and the other one's Al." Sarai said sweatdropping.
"Nice to meet you two." replied Korayna as she beckoned for them to go in the house.
"Al, you go inside. I need to talk to Ed." Sarai demanded keeping her hand on Ed's mouth.
"Okay." Al replied as he went into the house.
Ed shoved Sarai's hand away from his mouth and yelled "What was that for!"
"Listen. Korayna HATES state alchemists. You would have been tossed into hell if I didn't shut that big mouth of yours." Sarai replied.
"You didn't have to put your hand on my mouth though!" yelled Ed
"Well, it's over and done with, so let's go inside." retorted Sarai.
(((Space)))
"Wow." Complimented Al.
"I tried to clean up, but I didn't know you guys were coming, so the place is in shambles."said Korayna.
"Actually, the only thing I see is the dust rag." Al then went over and pointed to the rag on the kitchen counter.
"Oh... I forgot to throw that away..." Korayna then snatched the rag and threw it in a trash bin.
Sarai and Ed came in the house. Ed then flopped onto the couch.
"So... What are we having for dinner?" asked Sarai.
Koraynawent into the kitchen and yelled, "It depends on you guys!"
"Cheeseburger!" yelled Ed.
Sarai was surprised by the shout and accidentally knocked a vase over onto the floor. It then smashed into tiny pieces.
"What was that?" asked Korayna
"N-Nothing!" yelled Sarai as she dropped to her knees and frantically started picking up the pieces.
"I heard something." Korayna then started toward the hall.
"Al, distract her!" whispered Sarai. Why me? Al thought as he went to the other side of the table.
(((Space)))
I quickly gathered the pieces into a pile and grabbed chalk out of my pocket. I quickly grew a circle and activated it. The vase returned to it's normal form. I did it in time because Korayna came around the table.
"What are you doing with my vase?"
"Nothing..."
Luckily, my body was on the circle, so she didn't see it. When she went away I sighed and put the vase back on the table. That was WAY to close. I thought as I started toward the kitchen.
1 hour later...
"That was good." I said happily starting toward the kitchen with my plate.
"I'm glad you liked it." replied Korayna.
The two brothers finished before me, so I finished quickly. I put the dishes in the sink and started washing them by hand.
"Sarai? What are you doing?" questioned Korayna.
Korayna then popped her head into the kitchen and gasped.
"You don't need to wash them by hand!"
"But I'm used to it!"
"No. Put the dishes down. You are my guest along with the two other boys. Now please go put on your pajamas and get ready for bed." Korayna finished sternly.
Man, I hate it that she's older than me. Why couldn't I be twenty-five? I thought as I headed up the stairs. I went into my room and slipped on my tanktop and shorts. I then shut the light off and fell asleep.
(((Space)))
Al and Ed slept in the same bedroom. Ed was already asleep after mumbling something about a 'good dinner'. Al got up and stared out the window.
"Something will happen tonight." Al said quietly staring at the full moon.
Al went back to the wall and laid against it. He then started to doze off and then asked "Will we find the Philosopher's Stone?" and then he fell asleep.
(((Space)))
"Huh?" was all ed could say when he saw he was on a giant cookie. He then looked around him and he was horrified when he saw he was on a river.
"No... WHY!" he screamed. he was riding in a river of milk. Then in a split second, he was on an ocean of milk. He then sat down and sobbed. He knew he would have to drink the milk or die of dehydration.
He then saw something head right towards him in the milk and vanish. Then a fish cookie jumped right through the cookie that ed was on, and made a hole in the middle. The giant cookie then became unstable, and broke apart.
Ed was clinging to the piece of cookie he was floating on for dear life. Then a fish cookie frenzy began. Fish went for ed's cookie, and tried to get Ed off the cookie.
"NOO!" Ed screamed when a shark cookie came towards him. Then in one jump, the shark cookie grabbed ed's red jacket, and dove into the milk, dragging Ed with him.
No! Can't breathe! I... can't... believe it. I'm... gonna... die... in... milk... Ed thought as he blacked out.
"No!" Ed yelled as he bolted straight out of the bed. He then realized that he was fine and he went back to sleep.
(((Space)))
"Sarai, do you like your present?" my mom asked.
Huh? I'm eight again? I thought as I replied, "A puppy! Thank you!"
My parents both smiled. I left the beach with them and we went to our house.
After five minutes the doorbell rang and my dad shoved me in a closet and locked it near the door.
"Ssshh." Dad said and whispered, "Don't worry what will happen, okay?"
"Mmhm." I said crying. This.. This can't be happening! Not again! I screamed in my head.
My dad then opened the door and I heard a gun go off. I stood there watching my dad, in slow motion, fall to the ground.
DADDY! I screamed in my head looking for something to pry the lock off the door.
"What was that!" I heard my mom say as she ran around the corner. She then stopped dead in her tracks and ran, crying, to dad. She heard a click and looked up to see the gun pointed at her head.
MOMMY! I screamed in my head as I watched her, also in slow motion, fall on top of dad.
WHY! I sceamed in my head after the man left.
"WHY!" I screamed at the top of my lungs and slammed my fists into the ground.
"I should have SAVED them! Why does this have to HAPPEN!" I screamed running over to the corpses of my parents after I body slammed the door down.
"Mom! Dad!" I yelled, "Wake up... WAKE UP!" I screamed waking myself from my sleep.
I then, crying, ran into the kitchen I stopped crying and saw a butcher knife. I then got the knife and cut my arm and smiling as the image of my parents faded.
I then heard something enter the kitchen. I turned around hiding the knife and hiding my arm. The person was Ed.
"Sarai, what are you doing?"
"Nothing."
"Well if it was nothing, there wouldn't be a pool of blood, would there?"
I gasped as I looked at the floor and saw the blood on the floor.
I dropped the knife and Ed gasped. I then ran up the stairs, ran into my room, and locked the door. I heard someone run up the stairs and I started running to my bed.
Then, without warning, my knees failed to support me and I fell. I heard Ed trying to open the door when I starting crawling. I then stopped and layed on the floor,facing the door, as the door was being broken down by alchemy.
I then saw Ed with a horrified look on his face when I thought, I lost to much blood. I'm... gonna... die... at a mistake... I... made... As I shut my eyes slowly and everything was blurry. I started crying when Ed yelled for Al. I've... hurt... him... so... much... I... don't... deserve... to... have a... chance... at... winning your... heart... I thought as everything went black.
(((Space)))
"Al!" Ed yelled panicking. He then saw Al gasp.
"Brother, what happened!" he asked panicking.
"I'll tell you later. Go get bandages from the bathroom!" Ed yelled.
Ed then put Sarai on the bed putting towels underneath her arm. It was sliced open from the knife. Al came back and he started wrapping her arm.
Why? Why did you do this? Ed asked himself as he saw the sun beyond the horizon
