Chapter Eight: Roy's Cruel Memories.
Roy looked up as Ed barged in six months after they're dissapearance.
"edward...what do you want?" asked Roy.
"any new information on the philospher's stone..."said Ed. "and you're sister.."
"sister..I have no sister." said Roy astonished. how does Ed now about Katherine...
"don't lie Roy! We meet her six months ago..." said Ed explaining.
"that's impossible... She was taken five years ago and most likely died. I went to war and this is my new postion."
"what was she like? before she was taken from you.." asked Ed.
"special...unlike any other ten year old." said Roy."that's all.."
" I understand. She dissapears so you erase her from your memory. Just like any good soldier right...exactly." said Ed and walked out.
Roy stared at the books on his shelf for awhile. He opened the drawer right next to him and got out the picture frame. He placed it on the desk and felt empty again. He looked at the picture of the smiling family that all left. He looked in the drawer and pulled out the other picture of him alone. He put them away and left to his house.
Roy's mind kept thinking about other things that he'd forgotten for a long time. He stared at the house he rememered promising Katie.
memory:
'well since mom and dad died this'll be our new home okay.' said Roy.
'you promise, Roy! That we'll live here someday! I want my room all green even the sheets and egyptian cotten too! all the hip magazines and posters of my favorite music!' replyed Katie.
'sure. and i'll become an alchemist. a dog of the military to pay for it all!'
'right! and we'll live together forever. You won't leave me like mom and dad right.'
'i promise to never leave you or let anyone take you from me.'
Katie giggled 'and just in case someone does I promise to come back!'
they giggled and walked away to school.
end of memory.
He stopped and bought one of the latest magazines. He opened the door to the exact house and set the keys down next to the picture of a smiling ten year old girl. He never looked at it...unless he was drunk. He walked up the stairs and stared at the first door on the right. He opened it and stared in the empty room. There stood a green canopy bed with egyptian cotton green covers. A light green painted background. A dark brown carpet and two yellow dresers with vines painted all over it. He clicked on the green fuzzy lamp and pulled out the box from under the bed. He put the magazine in the box filled with five years worth of magazines.there's your room and you're magazine. just like I promised Katie. Now keep you're promise and come back.
Roy turned the lamp off and walked out. Shut and locked the door behind him. He looked around at the house.
memory:
"wow Roy look at this place! It's huge! bigger than I expected!"
"yeah it is. Hope you have some great ideas to fill this thing up."
"Oh I do! And that bakery for sale next door. I'm already saving up to buy it."
"right and when I come home from the military everyday you'll be here waiting with food and entertainment."
"well food but entertainment! we don't need a tv only a stereo. And we'll dance all night...like we would with mom and dad."
"they're gone. Forget about them. Here's the picture frame's. Set up the living room to you're liking then. I'll be getting my room ready."
"okay Roy. you'll love it i promise!" she giggled and got working.
end of memory.
Roy looked at the living room filled with dusty picture frames and the dusty stereo. The only not dusty thing was the couch that he would sit on. He walked into the kitchen and looked at the table decorated like the whole kitchen itself. Filled with fresh ingredents and gave off a cozy kitchen feeling. Roy sat down in his chair and stared at the Ramen noodles in front of him.
memory:
"alright take the blindfold off already!"
"here taste this first."
"fine." Roy ate whatever it was and it was great.
Katie took of the mask. Roy looked down at the decorated chef gourmet meal. Chicken covered in a fetticini noodle sauce with fresh breadsticks.
"so do you like it?"
"I love it. How'd you learn to cook so good?"
"magic!" repyled Katie.
end of memory.
Roy got up and threw away the empty tube of noodles. He walked outside for a night walk and stopped by the bakery next door.
Memory:
"Oh roy you bought it for me! Thank you soooo much!" said Katie running inside.
Three weeks later it was making tons of business and Katie was never happier.
Roy walked in and sat down.
"hey roy! I saved a chocolote crosiount just for you!" said katie.
Katie set it down in front of him and he smiled. She was covered in flour and looked tired. But she looked fresh and ready for anything. Happier than he'd ever seen her.
end of memory.
Roy looked inside the dust covered bakery. He stepped inside with the key he had. Payed it every month just in case..
memory:
she's never coming back and you're going bankrupt! you have to sell this bakery or go the war!"yelled Hughes.
"it's all i have left of her! and she is coming back! SHE IS!" yelled Roy as he slammed the door in front Hughes face.
Hughes came in and sat down by the crying Roy.
"i'm sorry Roy..." said Hughes.
"You're right aren't you...she's never coming back...I couldn't keep my promise and save her like I said...If I go to the war do you think...i could forget about her and move on?"
"do you want to forget about you're sister?"
"no...but if I don't...i'll never keep my other promise to her.."
"of..?"
"of becoming the best alchemist the militarys ever seen..."
"you will...i'll see you later then Roy."
Roy sat there and turned all the picture frames that had her in it down. he stopped at the one of her alone making her biggest smile. She was all covered in flour and had an award for being the best pastry chef around the block. She had just said how she'd always make Roy proud then moments later a car squeled away with Roy chasing behind it yelling her name. That was the only frame he left standing yet he'd never look at it again...not till she was really back.
end of memory.
Elysia and Gracia came in.
"boy this place has gotten dusty hasn't it Roy." said Gracia.
"yes it has."repyled Roy.
"aachoo!" sneezed Eysia. "daddy says when the girl comes back and opens this place up we'll eat the best bisquits in the world together mommy."
"yes honey..when the girl comes back and when daddy does to."
"i'm sorry I haven't been around much.."
"it's alright Roy. I should leave you alone now right...today is the anniversary of the day she was taken..."
"six years now..."
Roy went home and went straight to sleep erasing the days of remember her once a year till the next.
