I walked through the city on my nightly patrol. The street was quiet, and the darkness held on to the faint light of the street lamps. The only sound was that of various animals such as owls and possums. I held the gun firmly in my hand not daring to let my guard down. A shiver went down my spine as I felt the presence of someone a fair distance away from me. I stood there frozen holding my gun in both hands ready to defend myself at any cost. After a minute of standing there, the presence I had felt was no longer far away. It was right behind me. Suddenly, I realised that the presence was that of a homunculus.
"Hello, Homunculus," I said with humour in my voice. I turned around only to realise I had never seen this homunculus before. He was a little boy looking only the age of six with jet black hair, and deep purple eyes that would pierce your soul. "I am Pride," he said plainly. "Nice to meet you Pride!" I said in a smartass tone with a large grin on my face. Pride frowned "Envy informed me that you're hard to phase…" he said this with irritation in his voice. I smiled and laughed "Well I guess Envy understands me well!". I watch him become even more annoyed. I then frown and say, "So what do you want?". He looks at me and smirks. Without warning a large blob of black with blood red eyes dotting it appears behind; and all around him.
I fought. I lost. Pride broke a few of my ribs and my arm. There was also a stab wound in my stomach, and it was bleeding at an alarming rate. I tried to hold on to consciousness, but I knew no matter how hard I tried I wasn't going to stay awake for long. I proceeded to close my eyes as I heard voices in the distance.
The warmth of the sun wrapped it arms around me greeting me good morning. Despite waking up to a beautiful day a pounding headache started to form in my head. I frowned as I remembered what happened a few days ago. The Colonel and the Lieutenant found me in an alleyway badly wounded, and they immediately took me to the hospital. The doctors said I needed to stay at the hospital to heal and that I would be discharged tomorrow. Edward and Alphonse came to visit me often despite being extremely busy at times. Colonel Mustang and Lieutenant Hawkeye also visited often, Mustang usually telling me to "Hurry up and heal already".
My thoughts were interrupted by Edward and Alphonse entering my room. I smiled as Alphonse started to scold Edward about knocking before entering as they sat down on a chair either side of me. After they finished bickering Edward handed me a small box of chocolates. "So, when are you getting discharged?" he said inquisitively." Tomorrow. It's gonna be relaxing to get back to work" I said this before sighing contently. Alphonse giggled as Edward shook his head.
After weeks in the hospital I was finally discharged and ready to go to work. Of course, Alphonse, Edward, and Hawkeye suggested I stay in bed, but being my stubborn self, I won the argument and drove to work. Everyone greeted me with concern which I immediately retaliated with "I've been through worse.". After greeting everyone I returned to my desk and started to work.
