Chapter Five Reactions

Ed and Al were staring at me.

"Will you guys knock it off!" I screamed.

"W-What happened to your hair!" exclaimed Al.

"What happened to you!" Ed yelled pointing at me.

"I don't know, okay!" I yelled as I crossed my arms.

We then started to the townsquare. People stared at me and made coments, but Ed wouldn't stop staring at me. Someone tried to throw a tomato at me, but I caught it.

"Do you think she could be a witch?" a guy asked a shopkeeper. Then I blew.

"I'm not a witch!" I yelled at them.

I then grabbed a barrel and began swinging it around at the guy and shopkeeper.

"Sarai, calm down!" Ed yelled grabbing my hair and pulling it. I then stopped and dropped the barrel. I turned around and stared at Ed. He stared back at me. He let go of my hair and I slapped him.

It seemed to knock him back to reality.

"What the hell was that for!" He yelled as Al asked the shopkeeper if there were any hotels nearby.

"For pulling my hair!" I retorted throwing the tomato in Ed's face. Of course, the tomato exploded on impact.

He blinked once and then got pissed. A crowd started around us as we began cursing each other. Finally Ed transmuted his sword and charged at me.

Change into a tiger. I thought, but it didn't work. It was like an electric current went through me. I began getting dizzy and I lost my balance. Ed couldn't react in time and tripped over my legs. He went flying and landed in the fountain of wine. I giggled once and everyone cheered.

When we got out of the townsquare, Ed kept complaining about me winning because of an 'accident'.We got a room at the hotel and went upstairs.Turn to human I thought, but it still didn't work. An electric current surged through me again and I then collapsed on the floor. I slowly opened my eyes to see Al putting me on the bed.

"W-What just h-happened?"

"I don't know. You just collapsed on the floor."

"Where's Ed?"

"He's in his room getting cards."

I then looked at myself. I'm still white? Does this mean that I can't... I then ran into the bathroom.

I quickly locked the door behind me. I looked in the mirror to see me as a human.

"No..." I squeaked as I looked at myself then the mirror.

"This can't be real... it can't!" I yelled while holding my head. I then heard banging on the door.

"Sarai, are you okay?" I heard Al's voice call from the other side of the door.

"I-I'm f-fine." I replied in a shaky voice.

Without thinking, I went through the cabinet and found a small knife. I sat on the sink and put my right leg on top of my left. I then plunged the knife into my ankle. I screamed and quickly put my hand over my mouth.

"Sarai!" I heard Al yell.

I then heard the drawing of chalk on the door. I quickly wiped the blood and threw the paper out of the window. Al then came in.

"Sarai, is something wrong?" Al asked.

"No. I'm fine." I replied.

"But I heard you scream." Al protested.

"I'm fine." I said again getting a little annoyed.

"Alright." Al sighed as I transmuted the door.

I returned to the sink and sat on it. I put my ankle on my leg and put the knife into my ankle. I held back a scream as I began making a design. When I was done, I was ready to fall. My vision became blurry, but I managed to wipe all the blood away.

It began to rain. I then stumbled to the door. I opened it and went out. Ed and Al were playing cards. Without warning my knees gave way. I went down and smacked my face on the floor.I then numbly stood up.

"Sarai, are you okay?" Ed asked.

"I'm fine." I tried to say through my, now, very blurry vision. I then went into my room.

(((Space)))

"Something isn't right, Al." Ed said.

"I know." Al replied as Ed threw down an ace, king, queen, jack, and ten of spades.

(((Space)))

"W-What!" Al was amazed that Ed won for the twenty-fifth time.

"Jackpot!" Ed yelled as he gathered his win.

"B-But that's impossible!" Al yelled as he dropped his cards.

"If it was I wouldn't have won." Ed said as he went to his room.

Al got up and sighed. He then saw six cards under Ed's chair. They were all ace of spades.

"Ed get back here!" Al yelled as he ran out the door.

(((Space)))

I was okay now. I started searching through my dad's journal on this new 'transformation'. I found something about being partly human, but not all human. He didn't know what the other part was. He also said in his journal about me turning into some sort of 'goddess'. He said that it only lasted until morning, but the transformation only happened on a full moon.

I shut the book and looked outside. Damn. Why didn't they tell me? I thought. Then there was a knock on my door. I opened it to see Al.

"Hey. What's up?"

"Did you see brother?"

"No, why?"

"He cheated at a game."

"Oh... Well, I'll tell you if I see him."

"Yeah, okay."

Then I shut my door. The rain finally stopped. I sat on the balcony and stared at the moon. A sudden breeze picked up and I shut my eyes. I saw the images of my parents and I playing in the park with the breeze whipping my hair around, like right now. What's the deal with the mirror though? I thought as I heard the door open and shut. I tucked some of my hair behind my ear and turned around.

Nobody was there. I stepped off the balcony lightly like it was the first time. I looked around the room, but didn't find anyone. Then it hit me.

"Ed, come out." I asked softly.

I then saw a flash and a hole appear as Ed popped out.

"Damn! Your not gonna tell Al, are you?"

"No. I won't. Just please do something about the hole."

Ed then turned around, clapped his hands, and the hole was gone. I then saw the sun over the desert. I felt a tingling sensation, then I began to glow white.

When Ed turned around he looked amazed. I then began to float. I began to feel dizzy as the room seemed to swirl around me. I then felt pain surge through my body as my feet touched the floor. I began to fall when Ed caught me and put me on my bed. I felt better after five minutes.

Ed left two minutes ago. I looked at my skin and it was tan like before. When I went into the bathroom, I looked in the mirror to see my 'goddess' self. When I came out, I grabbed some chalk from Al's room. I drew a transmutation circle. Ed came in when I activated it. I made a figure out of a piece of wood I found.

It was a figure of Ed. I made all the designs correctly. Ed had his coat on when he entered the room. He looked at the figure and smiled.

"That's some nice work."

"Thank's..."

Ed looked down and frowned. I tried to hide my ankle, but he already saw it.

"You've been cutting yourself?" Ed questioned.

I couldn't answer the question and it seemed Ed already knew the answer. I got up and went to my room without saying a word, hiding my face from his. I began packing my things.

Flashback

"Sarai?"

"Yes, Al?" I replied while brushing my hair.

"Our train to get to Central is in the town where Korayna lives. It leaves at eleven o'clock. We need to get there before hand to get the tickets."

"Alright. I'll begin packing in a few minutes." I replied putting down the brush and going down to the lobby to have breakfast.

End Flashback

In a couple of minutes I was ready to go. I was wearing the usual. Black pants and white tank top. I met Al and Ed in the lobby. We went a little far out into the desert so nobody would see me transform.

(((Space)))

Why is she cutting herself? What was that design? Ed couldn't stop thinking about those questions for a while. When Al said it was far enough Sarai transformed into a car. Al and Ed got in as they began moving towards the other end of the desert.

1 hour and 30 minutes later...

They finally got there. Al looked at the clock on the wall and gasped.

"What is it Al?" Ed asked.

It's ten forty-five!" yelled Al in dismay.

"Don't worry about it." Sarai said as she went up to the front of a large line at the ticket booth.

When she came back she had three train tickets in her hand. She gave one to Ed and one to Al.

(((Space)))

"How did you get them?" asked Al.

"Charm." Sarai replied.

Ed raised an eyebrow, but smiled in an instant. They got on the train and got seats in the back.

Sarai has been acting awfully nice since last night. Thought Al as Sarai read her book. Al looked at Ed who was writing a report for the Colonel.

(((Space)))

I could see out of the corner of my eye that Ed would often shift his gaze to me. When I looked at him he would look at his report. I looked out the window at the green hills. It reminded me of when my mom and dad would take me kite flying.

Flashback

"Look Sarai, the wind is perfect." my Dad gave me a kite that was a shape of a diamond, but looked like the moon.

"Daddy, why does the kite look like the moon?" I asked.

"Because the moon is higher than the sky." my Dad replied as the kite was riding the wind.

End Flashback

I know the answer to this, but I never got to ask them if the moon is made of cheese. I sighed at this. I began reading my book again. Well My dad had a lot of notes on me. The last thing he wrote was that I probraly was a supernatural being. I slammed the book shut and held my knees up to my chest.

Why do I feel... Alone? I thought as I got paper to do alchemy. I drew a transmutation circle and activated it. I made a figure of my mom and dad with me in the middle. Why did I have to live when there's no reason to? I began to cry at the thought.

I stopped after two minutes to see the station up ahead. I guess there is a reason I glanced at Ed to live after all. I thought as we pulled into the station.

"Well that was a nice ride." I said between yawns.

"I finished my report." Ed said while checking through it.

"You didn't put me in it, did you?" I asked.

"Only that you helped us with the gang." Ed replied while putting the report in his suitcase.

"Nothing about me transforming or anything like that?" I asked.

"Why would I put something like that in my report?" Ed asked.

"I don't know. I was just wondering." I replied.

"Ed, can we go to Xenotime?" I asked.

"Why would we go there!" Ed asked as he remembered Russel and Fletcher.

"I have a friend there I need to see." I replied.

Ed sighed and said "After we go to Central."

"Okay!" I replied as we started toward the horizon.

Okay this wasn't the worst chapter I've written, but I've done better.I haven't seen the whole series, but I'm getting all the DVD's that come out. I'm writing while updating so they might not be that good.R&R! No flames please!
