How long have I been waiting? To feel the blood of his on my hands? How long have I been waiting, to see the light die from his eyes? Too long, that's for sure.
I've been waiting too long to kill him. The man I would've once called a father. The man who left me. Abandoned me. I hate him. The sound of his name lights a fire of never ending hatrid in my soul. I spent endless hours, dreaming of how I would make him pay. Make him pay for giving me breath, and leaving me to deal with it on my own.
And on that day, I succeeded. With the help of that lothsome woman. I clutched the man I hated for so long in my jaws. Yet, here he was, right there for me to kill, and I couldn't do it. My fang had punctured his stomach, and I could taste the blood that dribbled on my tongue. And I couldn't do it. I couldn't crunch down and finally kill the man I've been harboring a grudge for for the past four hundread years. Everything I wanted, was right in front of me.
But I couldn't take it.
Why, I still don't know. Nothing else mattered. I was right here, the Fullmetal Chibi stared up at me in horror, his loving father in my jaws. Oh, how I loved that look in his eyes. This is what you deserve! You were the favorite, you were his favorite! Now I shall kill you're precious father, and then I will kill you!
I thought this, but still, I couldn't move. The mucles in my jaw were tense. My body told me to just end it. Crunch down. Then I would be free. But I couldn't do it.
He was the father who never loved me. The father that abandoned me for another woman, for another child. And yet I still couldn't do it.
At that moment, I'd never felt so alone. I was trapped inside my own enourmus body of a dragon. I screamed inside my head. I can't do this! Not here, not now!
The bastard father said something to his chibi son, and then, he moved. To my amazment, he forced my jaws down ontop of him. It was a split second, but it semed to last forever.
Fullmetal chibi fell to his knees as the blood rained down, falling to the floor with a sickening splat. I could see the look of horror and pain in his eyes, and for one, I knew what the boy must feel.
I felt like screaming. This wasn't how it was supposed to be! How did it turn out like this? I dreamed of this moment for ages, and now that I had it, it seemed like I was sympathizing for the man that left me and Dante-sama all alone.
I was screaming. Screaming so loud but no one could hear me. It was over, and I couldn't come to terms with it. It can't be over!
I didn't cry though, I'm not a weakling like my half brother. But there was a large blue light that shone above me. I looked up, and I could feel the transmutation as the power rippled along my body. Before I knew it, it was over. Gone in a flash. My life, or whatever it was, was over.
And as I stood there, in front of the gate, I stared up at it for the third time in a few short months. I was content to just stand there, and stare at it for all eternity. Perhaps I was afraid? Afraid of what was to become of me?
The gate creaked open, and I stared inside at the black abyss that awaited me.
"Hey," I turned, finding the Fullmetal runt behind me. There was no hatrid for him now. But a certian, contentness with him.
"Hey," I replied. It seemed like the only suitible thing to say.
"You're going?" he asked simply. There was no need to elaborate.
"Yeah," I replied. "We had a good run."
"We did," he replied.
There silence, the gate, still open, waiting for me to step through.
"Hey," I said again.
"Yeah?" he replied, turning those tired golden eyes of his up at me.
"Are you?"
"Nah, I'm going back," he replied. It seemd as though we didn't need to say anything. We knew what the other was thinking.
"What was he like?" I asked. I spotted the look of confusion as it fleetingly dashed across his face.
"I can't really answer that," he answered. "He left when I was a kid. Deserted us. He did the same thing to me as he did to you." He smiled. "I should've spent more time with him when I had the chance."
I smiled. "I guess this is goodbye," I said, extending my hand.
There was a sad look to his eyes. "This is the end of an era," he said, before accepting the handshake.
"So it seems." And then I was swallowed up as the gate's creatures began to take me to wherever they saw fit. For the first time in as long as I can remember, I was at peace. My mind no longer haunted by gruesome thoughts, my body finally relaxed. Everything was over, and I was content with that fact.
