Full Metal Alchemist 3 - Misplaced Words

The road continued down the street, ever which way we looked something was either smashed, blown up, or buried. The town was just a broken place the world could easily forget. At this point I couldn't really care, all I thought about was Natalie. I don't even know if I can call her Natalie anymore, according to her it is now Sin. What am i thinking? Get yourself together Sam, there are other things happening in the world than that. I mean look at this town its a disaster...I need to just stay focused on my job right now.

"Well how much you want to bet the homunculus caused the destruction of this town?" asked Ed, to no one unparticular

"Yeah, im pretty sure it was them. they wanted to lure us here, since we work for the state, what better way than a tragic incident?" I replied.

"Your probably right, might as well just tell that to Mustang. We are done here, lets get going."

I nodded and followed Ed out of the broken town. This town has changed my life forever. It would be best just to forget it but how? Its entirely impossible. Great there I go thinking about it again. Probably best when we finally get out of this town. But before I knew it we were standing right in front of the train station.

"30 SECONDS BEFORE DEPARTURE!" screamed the announcer dude for the train station.

"30 SECONDS!" We both screamed

"DAMMIT RUN ED!" I yelled at him behind me, by that time I already took off running and he was trying him best to catch up, along with Al beside him. I

The train started to move slowly.

"OH SHIT" I screamed and grabbed the railing of the caboose of the train, and flung my self over the rail. With effort, they finally caught up. Al somehow got aboard before Ed, he just jumped and made it. Ed was falling behind a little. greeeat. I extended my hand out to him, he grabbed it gratefully, and with a pull, I jerked him over the railing. I fell on my ass but Ed went flying and slammed into the wall of the train...Sucks for him.

"Owwwwwwww," Was the only thing I heard come out of Ed's mouth

I laughed, "Sorry Ed, I could've been a little more gentle about it."

He slowly stood up on his feet. "Yeah, you could've but lets not try that approach next time."

"I don't plan to, just be happy we even made the train."

"Right..."

He walked over to the door leading to the seat compartment of the train, and turned the knob and entered. As always it was and empty train, so we just chose two seats in the back. Since Al practically occuptoed a whole seat, (Inside joke you people don't know about) he sat alone and me and Ed sat across from him. I got the window seat so I stared outside at that for awhile when we weren't really talking about anything. While I was staring out the window thinking about nothing, The setting sun shined on me even through the window and it was annoying me. Then Ed caught glimpse of a slight, gold sparkle around my neck.

"What's that?" he asked, indicating my necklace.

"Huh? Oh yeah this," I held the Jade necklace outlined with iolite in my hand. Its stone was polished and smooth and hung around a thick golden chain that couldn't be easily broken.

"Didn't I see Natalie wearing that a long time ago?"

"...Yeah...you did, its a family heirloom so since Natalie died and she didn't have any children or anything to pass it down to, I got it."

"I guess it must really mean a lot to you then..."

I nodded, "But it does look a little tacky on a tiny person like me since it is kind of really big."

I put my hands behind my neck and took off the necklace. I held it in my hand for a minute then put it around my belt loop and my pocket, right beside her pocket watch that she wanted to give to me. I sighed thinking about her, how she would always tease me about my height and chase me around the house when she was relatively pissed in a funny way. That's when I decided not to mope around and be depressed about my sister. She wouldn't want that, that one part of her wouldn't at least, that one part I know is still in that make believe body of Sin's. After all I did vow. Vowed to get her back with the help of the Philosophers Stone. I wouldn't let her live the way she is now as a homunculus. That is if you could even call that living at all.
