Chapter five
The next morning, Al, and Ed woke up, they walked into the kitchen, where Wisteria sat. She had a cup of coffee in front of her, and she was just staring at it. Her eyes were red, and her hair was a little messed up, sticking out in places. Her dress was wrinkled, and she looked very tired. There were also little blood stains on her dress.
"Are you okay" asked Ed waving his hand in front of her face. Wisteria looked up forlornly at Ed.
"Huh…oh yes…I'm fine" answered Wisteria. Al fixed himself some coffee. Mr. Hughes came out of the room, Al, and Ed caught a glimpse of Gracia, but that's all.
"Wisteria are you going to be okay" asked Mr. Hughes.
"Yes thank you" said Wisteria smiling. Ed and Al dragged their eyes over to Meas.
"Is…..everything okay" they asked.
"Oh" said Hughes like he hadn't seen them there.
"Is Noah okay" asked Al a little panicky. Ed was biting his nails, and picking his nails like this was all one really boring conversation.
"Yes Noah is going to be fine…..I think" said Mr. Hughes.
"You think" said Ed.
"I'm not entirely sure" said Meas. Al's jaw dropped, and he growled at Hughes. Gracia opened the bedroom door; she was in the same state as Wisteria, who had gone to bed.
"Oh Al come here" she said. Al got up slowly.
"O...kay" he said. Ed watched him go, and then he turned to Mr. Hughes.
"Noah's dying isn't she" he said. Mr. Hughes closed his eyes, and put his finger to his lips. Al saw Noah lying limply on the bed, he went over to her.
"Noah" Al whispered. No reply. He looked at Gracia, Gracia looked to the floor.
"She's not" asked Al. Gracia started crying, wait no that wasn't crying, she was laughing. Al saw that Noah was awake, and she was laughing too. Al heard Ed and Mr. Hughes laughing.
He glared at Noah. Noah was just laughing. Wisteria had come down, and she too was laughing. Al crossed his arms.
"Bastards" he whispered to himself. They had all tricked him into thinking that Noah was dead, even Noah, and Ed. Ed had been told by Mr. Hughes.
Al couldn't help but laugh too; he was so glad that Noah was okay. Though she was still very weak, and sore. Noah slept most of the day, and Al, Ed, and Wisteria re searched some things at the library.
Gracia just took care of Noah; she fed her, and cleaned her wound. Hughes went back to the military office. That night, Noah was the one who roused every one up from their beds, and lead them down stairs.
"I've been meaning to talk to you all" said Ed; his hair was matted a little on the top of his head.
"About what" asked Wisteria, as she twiddling her thumbs?
"About Hutchenson" answered Ed?
"He got away but we have no idea where to even go next" said Al sitting on the couch, his head in his hands. Noah was sitting uncomfortably on the couch, Al noticed her discomfort, and he got up, so Noah could spread out.
"Thank you" she said tiredly.
"I think we should all go back to sleep, especially you, Noah why are you even awake" asked Al.
"Al….I can't sleep with a very painful gun shut wound in my abdomen" said Noah her voice sounded strained.
"People please….what are we going to do" asked Ed. No body said anything; it was silent for the longest time.
"Ed every one is really tired, maybe a good night's sleep will help every body think" said Wisteria. Ed looked at her, he saw Winry smiling at him.
He looked away hiding that pain in his eyes.
"Okay good night" he said and walked up stairs making sure not to wake Mr. Hughes or Gracia. The other went to sleep too, though Noah had fallen asleep on the couch.
Al covered her up, no one was around, and so he kissed her on her fore head and left. Noah opened one eye and watched him go up stairs, she smiled and then went to sleep, and she slept peacefully.
