Chapter-2 Miss Elizabeth Mae Flagstaff
Yes, I know, 1s't chappie sucked! But this one's better, and MUCH longer, so u all better enjoy this:) And for chappie #3, I'd just like to point out five other characters that belong to me- Mrs. Irma Flagstaff (E's mother) Mr. Jason Flagstaff II (E's father) Mitchell and Will Flagstaff (E's older brothers) and Mrs. Jade Flagstaff. (Now dead, E's grandmother.) Okay, now, on with the fic!
It was now six am, the next day.
Ed and Al (Well, mostly Ed) had grabbed an early breakfast, and had headed out to the docks a few miles away from the Alchemist Army's HQ.
Ed was uncomfortably standing next to his towering younger brother in a black dress suit and bowtie.
Which he tugged on as he yawned.
"When is she coming, brother, I'm tired." Al whined as Armstrong tapped Ed on the shoulder, and pointed outward as a huge vessel emerged on the horizon.
"There she is." Armstrong finished as the large boat came closer to them.
It was a massive yet grand yacht, with the name 'ELIZABETH' painted on both sides in a navy blue color. Along with the Alchemist's symbols. In fact, those were pretty much all the colors adorning the boat, shades of blue and white.
Armstrong then handed Ed a pair of binoculars, and directed him to the uppermost deck of the yacht.
There, standing perched elegantly twirling a white parasol, adorned with white dangling tassels, was Elizabeth.
However, Ed could hardly make out her face, despite the fact that her distance was rather close.
Ed then handed the binoculars back to the muscleman as the boat came to a stop at the dock.
Roy, along with Armstrong and Hughes wheeled over a tower of stairs for Elizabeth to exit the yacht, as she did so, her shape began to take form before the two brothers in the light of the shimmering sun.
She slowly folded up her parasol, and walked with it expertly pointing downward to the ground.
As soon as she exited, several women walked out with loads of bags with the letter 'E' adorning them.
As Ed approached her, she narrowed her blue eyes, and flipped her long, loose brown curls back behind her shoulders.
"So, you're the Elrich brothers, huh?" Elizabeth asked as Ed nodded and Elizabeth presented her hand.
For a few moments, Ed just stood there, eyebrows raised in confusion and discomfort.
Just then, Roy stepped up, took her hand a little higher, and kissed it respectively. "Hmm, you obviously don't know how to treat a lady, do you?" She said, as a smirk slowly formed, and then faded from her red lips.
"Yes Miss Elizabeth, these are you're guards this year, Edward, and Alfonse Elrich. They will escort you back to our head quarters." Roy said, as he took two of Elizabeth's bags, and hauled them out to the long black car awaiting them around front.
On the way there, it was pretty much a silent drive for the three.
Ed was already half asleep before Elizabeth finally spoke up.
"So, Edward, how old are you anyway?" She asked, removing her pink frilled hat to fully expose her face and blue ribbon clad hair.
"You first." Ed groaned in discomfort, slouching in his seat.
"It's more polite to give you're answer, before I do mine." Elizabeth stated again as Ed groaned and sat up a little more.
"Fine, if it'll shut you up until we get there. I'm sixteen, and it's ed, not Edwards, okay?" Ed replied as Elizabeth looked him over for a few moments.
"You're short for you're age aren't you?" The teen chuckled as Ed sat up, enraged and irritated.
"Okay! Just because you're granddad is the chairman of Alchemy, it doesn't give spoiled little bitches like you the right to belittle others!" Ed shouted, as Elizabeth silenced him midway.
"First of all, I'm not trying to belittle anyone! And you are to call me by one of three names, Elizabeth, Miss Elizabeth, or Lady Flagstaff. And about my age, I'm seventeen." Elizabeth finished as the car came to a stop.
Ed groaned as he and his brother followed the girl into the HQ. Already the two could tell, that this was going to be a longer two months than they'd thought.
Inside, Riza greeted Elizabeth and led her to her room, which was centered in between Ed and Al's.
"Yeah, if those two knuckle heads give you any trouble, just let me know, alright?" Riza asked as Elizabeth nodded once with a slight smile.
Riza was Elizabeth's only, almost friend in the HQ, as a matter of fact, she's the closest thing Elizabeth had ever had to a friend.
"Don't worry Riza, I'm sure I can handle them on my own." She replied, as Riza chuckled slightly, and then nodded once before departing.
As Elizabeth walked into her room, she peered outside her balcony window, down below, many of the alchemists in the army there were out practicing, including the still very tired Ed.
Just then, there was a knock on her double doors.
Before letting her guest enter, she gazed around the room, it was huge, rococo styled, and almost everything was in shades of blue and white, like her clothes, and her yacht.
And this room did actually belong to her, and besides her grandfather's manor in upstate Vermont, this place was the closest one she'd ever had to a home.
But she was quickly snapped back out of her thoughts when the knocking persisted.
"Uh, come in!" She called form her bed, as she closed her balcony doors. And with that, Al walked in.
"Hi. I just wanted to say, I'm sorry for my brother, but I still don't think he likes you very much." Al said, twiddling his oversized metal thumbs.
Elizabeth then pulled her knees up closer to her body, and smiled at him.
"Well, then that's one thing we do have in common, because you know Al, I don't really like myself very much either." Elizabeth admitted as Al gave her a look of concern and then left without a word.
Meanwhile, out on the training grounds…….
"I'm tellin' ya, this girl is a class A bitch." Ed finished as He blew up another practice dummy.
"Well, we've all had to deal with her one time or another, besides, one day, we'll all be workin' for her. After all, she is the future heir to this organization." Hughes finished, as Ed cringed at the very thought of being under her command for the rest of his life.
"Well, ya know, I think it's because most people just don't understand her well enough. After all, her parents were real jerkoffs, so, her granddad was all she had left to turn to." Hughes finished as Ed glanced over at him for a few seconds, before getting back to his training.
"But, well, that's about all I can tell you. But maybe Riza knows something." Hughes finished as Ed looked to the ground.
Deep in thought.
He most likely already knew he didn't like Elizabeth, but there was no harm in studying you're patients…..Was there?
