Chapter 4
His Reason
Hohenheim sat on a bench in a park. He began to cry.
"Why did you come back!" Hohenheim shouted. He got up from the bench. Rain started to fall. Hohenheim walked out of the park. He walked past a dog. Hohenheim bent down and petted the dog.
"Teddy! Thank you, uh. What's your name?" a voice asked. It was a young girl about Hohenheim's age and a man.
"I'm Hohenheim. This must be your dog," Hohenheim answered.
"I'm Jeremy Tones and this is my daughter, Katie. Why don't you come and stay with us?" Jeremy asked.
"Okay," Hohenheim answered. Hohenheim started to walked away with them when he heard a voice in his head telling him to run away. He shook it off.
"Where are you from?" Jeremy asked. Hohenheim looked down at the ground.
"I don't want to talk about it," Hohenheim answered. Katie and Teddy ran ahead.
"Do you wish you could forget everything and start over with someone?" Jeremy asked. Hohenheim thought for a minute about the question.
Thought 1
Hohenheim was little and Ed was there. Ed was playing around, but Hohenheim sat there.
"Come on Hohenheim. Let's play a game called I'll race you to the porch," Ed said. Hohenheim sat there.
End thought 1
"No. He can just be my memory that I lock away," Hohenheim answered. Jeremy laughed. They were nearing an old white house. 'Why does this man keep asking me questions? I have reasons for not wanting to forgive that bastard of a father.' Hohenheim thought. Jeremy and Katie tied up Teddy and went inside the house. Someone's hand was on Hohenheim's shoulder.
"Hohenheim, let's go home," the person said. Hohenheim didn't look at the person.
"I'm staying and that's that, mom," Hohenheim said. He walked into the house. Winry looked hurt. Ed showed up.
"He's going to get himself in a lot of trouble," Ed said. Winry ignored him. "Winry let's go wait at the Central building," Ed said. Winry left along with Ed.
Inside the house was clean and pitched black.
"This place gives me and uncomfortable feeling," Hohenheim said. As he spoke a small knife was shot into his right knee. He stood still for a second. A knife appeared near his throat.
"Don't move or death will be the price," a voice said. Hohenheim heard noises all around him. He smiled.
"Listen I don't want to be hurt," Hohenheim said "So I'll just leave." The knife was closer to his throat.
"Give us the stone!" another voice shouted. Hohenheim was puzzled.
"What stone?" Hohenheim asked. Some of the creatures laughed.
"Give us the stone," a different voice said.
"No, I need the stone. I'm going to make something right again," Hohenheim said.
"You're just like you idiot father! How did you get your metal limbs?" the knife person asked.
"Accidents and screw up that I did on my own!" Hohenheim answered. A small cut appeared on his cheek.
'Why am I scared? Why can't I move? Why is this voice in my head?' Hohenheim thought. The knife was gone. Ed was standing there.
"Idiot!" Ed shouted.
'Do I have no reason to hate my dad? Yes I have a reason! My reason is he was never there!' Hohenheim thought. He left leaving Ed there.
