Hello people. I'm not done with my project, but I decided to post a chapter to keep my brain from melting.
Big thanks to Blackroserevan (Guest). Not only did she cheer me up, but I was able to finished two more chapters :)
I'll see you guys soon. Once i'm done, you can hold me up to those two chapters I promised you!
DISCLAIMER: FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST, NOT MINE.
Chapter 9: Unsure Memories & Family Trials
"Looks like you can sit up now, huh?" Ross said as Ed sat in his hospital bed making a sour face.
"What happened with the fifth laboratory?" Edward asked.
"Well…It um…" Brosh tried to say.
"Somebody blew up the building and there's nothing left of it now but rubble" Ross admitted.
"DAMMIT! YOU MEAN THEY WIPED OUT EVERYTHING?!" Ed yelled as he suddenly clutched his side in pain. "That didn't feel good. This isn't fair! Do you know how close I was to finding out the truth? This is no time for me to be lying around in a hospital!"
"FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST SIR!" Brosh and Ross shouted at the time. "WE DO APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE FOR THIS!"
Ross hand slapped Edward's face, leaving a bright red mark in place, right on his unharmed cheek.
"You acted like a selfish child! You only escaped with your life because you were lucky! You don't have to do everything on your own, you know. You can lean on other people…like us. Not all adults are the enemy, you can trust us."
Edward looked down as Brosh and Ross began yelling at the same time once more.
"THAT'S ALL. PLEASE FORGIVE OUR ABUSIVE WORDS AND CONDUCT SIR! IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN!"
"No, you're right. I should be apologizing" Edward admitted.
"My punishment, for slapping you." Ross said remaining her form.
"Nothing, I had it coming"
Both officers released a deep sigh.
"What's got you two so scared of me and Iris?"
"State certified alchemists carry a rank equivalent to that of a Major" Ross informed as Brosh nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry about it! I didn't get my certification so people would kiss up to me. You don't have to talk to me like I'm a high ranking officer."
"Really?" Ross said relieved.
"Huh. I guess we were scared of the brat for nothing!" Brosh said.
They adjust quickly Edward thought angrily.
"Oh, how's Iris doing?" Edward asked. Both Ross and Brosh looked at each other, worried, before Ross informed him.
"She was in a much worst state than you, Edward. In addition to deep cuts on her shoulders and sides, she received deep cuts on her arms and chest, along with a serious injury in the back of her head. Not to mention both her legs were bruised and one of them sprained. She won't be walking around anytime soon. She's in intensive care as we speak. The doctors aren't sure she'll make a full recovery-"
"WHERE IS IT?!" A familiar voice boom as a wheel chair zoomed past Ed's room, back and forth.
"She sounds fine to me!" Edward said as the door opened and a bandaged Iris zoomed into the room, grabbing Brosh by the collar and shaking him.
"WHAT DID YOU DO? WHERE IS IT? TELL WHAT YOU DID TO IT!" Iris continued yelling and shaking Brosh.
"What is she talking about?" Ross whispered.
Edward looked at Iris and saw a certain item missing from her neck.
"Do you have Iris' ribbon?" Edward asked.
"Yes. I had to get it cleaned." Ross said as she pulled the purple ribbon out of her pocket and handed it to Edward.
"Yo, Iris!" Edward said holding up the ribbon. Iris let go of Brosh, who fell to the ground, and took the ribbon, tying it around her neck.
"Thanks Ed! I woke up and found it missing, so I freaked out a little!" Iris smiled.
"A little?" Everyone in the room said to Iris, who blushed angrily.
"Have you guys seen Alphonse?" Iris asked. "I found you so I want to say hi"
""Yeah, has anyone seen Al?" Edward asked.
"Alphonse got his own lecture earlier, but I was the one who did the slapping!" Brosh said as he held out a swollen hand. Iris and Edward began laughing. Suddenly, Ed's hair stuck up.
"I almost forgot! I have an even less pleasant lecture in store for me today!"
"Oh, you mean Winry. Now that you mention it, I have to call my sister and let her know that my letters will be a bit late this time. She'll also want to know that I'm in the hospital!" Iris smiled as she exited the room, wheeled over to a phone and dialed the number as she held the phone to her ear. She heard something pick up the phone as someone spoke into it.
Hello? May I ask whose calling? A light voice spoke.
"It's been too long, Grace!" Iris smiled as a gasp was heard from the phone.
Iris! It's been forever since you called me! Grace shouted as Duchess began barking.
"Sorry. I wanted to tell you that my letters will be late so you won't get worried"
That's odd. Your letters are never late, did something happen?
"Unfortunately. The Elrics and I are stuck in the hospital, but this time I'm a patient as well."
No way! Are you serious?
"Yup. I got into a really rough situation while searching a building."
That sounds bad. Hey, maybe Aunt Izumi and Uncle Sig can drop me off in Central! I haven't seen you in forever and I know my way back to Dublith!
"That would be great! I can send someone to the station to pick you up. We haven't seen each other in over a year so this would be a perfect opportunity!"
I just need to see if Aunt Izumi and Uncle Sig would be okay with it. I'll be right back! Iris heard the phone as it stayed silent for a few minutes. Iris perked up as she heard it being picked up once again.
"What did they say?"
They said it was a great Idea! They'll drop me off at Central station tomorrow morning.
"That's great! I'll arrange everything and I'll repay Izumi for the train fee. Everything with be taken care of, don't you worry!"
I'll worry about you regardless! Are you even resting?
"No, you know me, Grace! I can't sit still! So I'll see you tomorrow?"
Yup. Who should I look for?
"A woman with brown hair and blue eyes. She'll have a mole under one of her eyes. You'll see her, I promise!"
Until then! Goodbye Iris!
"Goodbye Grace!" Iris hung up the phone as she heard someone cough. Standing about four feet from her was Ross, who was smiling.
"So who am I picking up tomorrow?"
"I'm sorry. I should have asked but, you the first person that came to mind." Iris said as she rolled over to her room and dug out a picture of Grace. "You'll know her when you see her. She's in a wheel chair and has a dog named Duchess, she's pretty hard to miss."
"Roger. If you want, I can set up the hotel and everything. You should really be resting" Ross suggested.
"Okay. I trust that you'll take good care of my sister. I haven't seen her in a long time, so this is important to me. Good luck!"
Ross walked away as Iris wheeled towards Edward's room as she saw Brosh pushing Ed's wheelchair back to his room.
"Hey guys, wait up!" Iris yelled. Edward and Brosh turned their heads as Iris rolled up to the two of them.
"Oh, hi Iris. Did you call your sister?" Edward asked.
"Yup. Turns out her foster parents gave her permission to come and visit! Isn't that amazing?" Iris said as she smiled.
"That's great! Winry is coming to fix my arm too" Ed replied.
"I wonder what made your arm stop working." Iris said as Edward looked over and saw Al sitting in a dark hallway with mirrors.
"What are you doing, sitting in the dark all by yourself?" Alphonse didn't respond to Ed's voice the first time. "Hey, hey Al!"
"Alphonse!" Iris shouted.
"Brother, Iris…" Alphonse said looking up.
"You can come to the room" Edward suggested.
"I'll be there in a little while. You go on ahead." Alphonse said.
"See you there Al!" Iris said as she wheeled quickly to Ed's room, leaving Al all alone to think.
Central Train Station (The Next Day)
"Here we are" Izumi said as she lifted Grace's wheelchair off of the train and onto the ledge.
"Thanks again Aunt Izumi! Duchess and I can't thank you and Uncle Sig enough!" Grace said smiling.
"Your welcome, Grace. Now where is the officer your sister sent to get you?" Izumi asked.
"I think that's her" Sig answered as he held Duchess' leash and held Grace's bag. A woman matching the description Iris gave approached the trio.
"Hello. You must be Grace Curtis. My name is Maria Ross. Your sister, Iris, sent me to get you. You'll be meeting her at the hospital, which is where I'll taking you" Ross said.
"Thank you." Izumi said as she grabbed Grace's bag and Duchess' leash and tied them both to Grace's wheelchair. "Grace make sure you behave for Ms. Ross"
"Yes, Aunt Izumi. I'll see you and Uncle Sig back in Dublith." Grace said smiling.
Izumi and Sig walked away to board the next train as Grace turned to Ross.
"When can we go see my sister Ms. Ross?" Grace asked. As Duchess yipped happily.
"Right now. Iris is waiting at the hospital, let's get going."
"Thank you so much for escorting me. How is your day going?" Grace asked as she began turning the wheels on her chair, which Duchess followed since she was tied to it, and followed Ross.
"Are you sure you and Iris are related?" Ross asked as Grace began laughing.
"I promise you we are!"
At The Hospital
Iris rolled to Edward's room only to come across Winry holding Ed's cheek.
"I'm starting to think Brosh was on to something" Iris said as she wheeled into the room.
"Oh, Iris. You're hurt too?" Winry said.
"Yeah, it's what I get after letting those two idiots convince me to go with them. Don't worry Winry! I'll be already to go soon enough!" Iris said causing Winry to smile.
"Well, let's get to work fixing your automail!" Winry said as she put her apron on.
Edward laid down as Winry worked on his arm, not forgetting to put it a screw that she missed last time.
"Hello…? Anyone there?" A soft voice asked at the door.
"Come on in!" Brosh said as Ross walked into the room. Behind Ross, a little girl in a wheelchair wearing a pink dress with a white cardigan. The girl had above shoulder length sandy blond hair and bright teal eyes. Next to the girl was an all-white dog with pointed ears and a red collar.
"Grace!" Iris yelled as she stood up for the first time since incident, despite the pain and ran over to embrace her sister.
"Iris! You shouldn't be standing!" Brosh lectured as he brought her wheelchair to her. Iris fell back in her wheelchair and smiled through her pain.
"You should be resting!" Grace giggled. Grace looked over and saw Edward as Winry worked on his arm. She recognized both of them from the picture she received in the last letter her sister sent to her.
"You must be Edward and Winry!" Grace said wheeling over to the bed. "I'm Grace, Iris' younger sister. It's nice to meet both of you!"
"Nice to meet you, I'm Winry Rockbell." Winry said holding out her hand for Grace to shake. As Grace stretched to reach Winry's hand, she stumbled out of her chair, revealing her handicap.
"Your leg-" Winry said shocked as Grace pulled herself back into her chair.
"Sorry. I've never been good at reach-" Grace tried to apologize but was interrupted by Iris slamming the door as she wheeled out. "Oh dear."
"What is it?" Edward asked. "I thought you and Iris got along"
"We do! She just hates it someone mentions my handicap. It puts her in a bad mood." Grace looked down and petted Duchess. "She must still blame herself for what happened to me"
"What happened?"
"Edward!" Winry lectured.
"No, it's fine. I have no trouble explaining, I just want to know if you're prepared to hear the whole story."
Edward nodded as Grace began.
"We were born and raised in Magnolia Village. There was 5 of back then, Maxwell, Teresa, Iris, me, and Myles. Our parents weren't around so Teresa and Maxwell became the closest things we had to parents. Life was great, we learned alchemy, we had no problem getting money and no one was sick. Teresa was a doctor who took hard cases and she cured almost all of them. One day Iris and I went with Teresa to investigate a call my sister had gotten from one of her doctor friends. We identified the disease and tried to treat it but the patient's immune system had already crashed and it was too late. Teresa got sick with the same illness soon after and we slowly learned the hardships of life. Maxwell was first to go, he had saved my little brother from getting bitten by a snake, but took his own life in the process. We tried taking care of our sister as best as we could. The day we came home with a new medicine for our sister, she died. Without her, we couldn't live in our home. Iris and I were separated from our little brother, Myles and put into a foster home where life was a lot worst. One night, Iris disappeared. The first place I went to was our old house. The second I opened the door, she had already attempted Human Transmutation and her leg was gone from the knee down. She was losing blood quickly. I used my right leg as material to reconstruct her right leg. I decided that, not her. In exchange, I told her to become a state alchemist. That ribbon she wears was something I made so she could never forget her promise." Grace finished.
"I don't know what to say" Winry said as she continued working on Ed's arm.
"At least we know her background. She's been through just as much if not more than me and Al" Edward replied.
"Well Iris doesn't understand that it was my decision to give her my leg." Grace smiled.
They both smile through the pain Winry thought as Grace began petting Duchess.
"I recall correctly, someone else was in that picture Iris sent me. A suit of armor, Alphonse I think. Where is he?"
"I wish I knew." Edward admitted. The room was in silence as Winry put the finishing touches on Ed's automail.
"Okay, you're all set!" Winry said.
"Well done! Feels good to have it back! Thanks a lot!"
"Sure, no problem!"
Suddenly, the door opened and Iris came wheeling in.
"Hey guys! I brought someone!" Iris said as she wheeled over next to Grace.
"Yo, Ed my boy!" A cheerful voice said. "Is it true you brought a pretty blonde girl into your room to service you?" The voice belonged to none other than Hughes.
Edward fell off his bed causing blood the come out of one of his wounds. Iris and Grace began laughing while Winry just stared in shock.
"She's my automail mechanic, that's all, nothing more!" Ed yelled.
"Oh. I see, you've seduced your mechanic, have you?" Hughes said.
"AHH THAT ISN'T WHAT I SAID AT ALL! WERE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?!"
Hughes walked over to Winry and shook her hand.
"Maes Hughes, I'm pleased to meet you, young lady!"
"You too! I'm Winry Rockbell."
"Nice to see you Hughes, but don't you have work to do?" Edward asked, crawling back into bed.
"Nope, it's all under control! I gave Sheska some overtime." Hughes said chuckling at the thought.
"You're a real jerk aren't you?"
"Hey he can't be all bad! He did visit you while you're in the hospital!" Grace said gaining Hughes attention.
"I'm sorry. I'm Maes Hughes and who might you be?"
"Grace Curtis sir! I'm Iris' younger sister!"
"I see. So this is the little sister you're always sending letters to?" Hughes asked.
"Yep. Her foster parents let her visit." Iris said smiling.
"Oh, I almost forgot. I think you three will be happy to know, I just found out that you, Ed, and Al shouldn't be under guard for too much longer!"
"Great!" Edward cheered.
"What did you say…?" Winry said before yelling. "Hold on just a second! How much trouble have you gotten yourself into this time?!"
"Well, uh… you see, it's… Well, it's nothing that concerns you." Edward stated looking away.
"Edward! Winry's worried, so just tell her!" Iris yelled.
"It doesn't concern her, Iris. There's nothing to tell!" Edward argued back as Winry stood up.
"Of course not! I don't know why I even bother to try! It's like you'll talk to me anyway!" Winry sighed as she took off her apron and put on her jacket. "Fine. I'll see you tomorrow. I have to go and see if I can find someplace to stay tonight"
"Sorry Iris. I have to go check in to the hotel as well." Grace said and her memory reminded her.
"Come on you two! No need for that! Why don't you both spend the night at my place?" Hughes offered.
"Really?" Winry and Grace said at the same time.
"Of course! My wife and daughter would delighted to have you both!"
"Thank you so much sir!" Grace said as she wheeled to the door. Winry had other ideas though.
"No I couldn't" Winry argued.
"Come one! It's settled!" Hughes said right back.
"I don't-"
"Here, let me take that!" Hughes said dragging Winry and her bag out of the room. "Ha ha! Got it! Let's go!"
"Do you really have to drag me?"
"Bye Iris!" Grace yelled as she and Duchess walked (Or wheeled) out the door.
"Bye Grace!"
"Hey Iris. Grace told us what happened." Edward said softly.
"I see. It's fine. Just explain it to Al for me, Okay?" Iris sighed. "I can't even face my sister without thinking that I did this to her. Being a state alchemist was the least I could do. I guess we're alike in that way. Right Ed?" Iris said as tears fell down her face.
"I guess so." Edward remembered that there was a time when he kept blaming himself for what happened to Al. There were times to that day when he still couldn't bring himself to ask Al if he blamed him for what happened to his body.
The Next Day
Iris was lying down in her hospital bed reading when Grace came in. The past few days had been kind to her and her injuries. The cut on her shoulder had mostly healed and the injury on the back of her head had healed so much that doctors decided to removed her bandages, she could even walk short distances thanks to the rest a wheel chair provided. She was no longer in intensive care, which was a relief, and was enjoying her privileges greatly. She was happy to see Grace roll into her hospital room, with Duchess, that morning.
"Grace! Good morning." Iris said as she bent over to pet Duchess, who was happily barking. "Don't worry Duchess. I didn't forget about you!"
"Good morning Iris! How are you're injuries?" Grace asked, smiling.
"I'm not in intensive care anymore so that says something. I wonder is Alphonse is around here. He's been awfully quiet lately. Did you meet him yet?"
"I'm afraid not. I left before I could see him. He's the boy in the suit of armor, correct?"
"Something like that. Where's Hughes?"
"I went ahead since him and Winry were walking a bit slow for my taste." Grace said giggling.
"Well, we better go to Ed's room." Iris said as she began to stand up and walk to her wheel chair.
"Are you sure you can walk? Your legs are still injured."
"I'm fine. The wheel chair has been resting them so I can walk short distances now. Tomorrow I'll start using crutches" Iris smiled.
As the pair walked out the door, they saw two certain people waiting at Ed's room
"Winry! Hughes! How's it going?" Iris shouted.
"Hey there Iris! Were just seeing Edward. How are your injuries?" Winry asked.
"They're healing pretty quickly. I'm out of intensive care so that's a relief." Iris laughed.
"That's good"
"I wonder when we can start our-" Iris said as Winry opened the door, but was interrupted by someone yelling.
"IT'S NOT LIKE I ASKED FOR THIS BODY, BROTHER!" Al yelled as Iris wheeled into the room with Grace and Winry.
"Sorry, you're right. It's my fault that it happened. But I'll make it right, I'll get you back into your real body, you'll see-" Edward tried to say.
"THAT'S WHAT YOU ALWAYS SAY BUT YOU DON'T KNOW THAT FOR SURE!"
"Look, I promise I'm gonna get you back, believe me, Al! I'll do it!"
"Believe you? How am I supposed to believe anything when I'm stuck in this body?! What should I believe in, my memories?! Memories are just scraps of information that can be made up as easily as anything else!"
"Alphonse Elric! You've traveled with Edward all this time! You're brothers, how could you-" Iris tried to interject but was interrupted.
"SHUT UP IRIS! You haven't known me for that long! For all you know brother could've been lying to you just like he did to me!"
Iris' eyes began filling with tears.
The Alphonse Elric I knew wouldn't yell at anyone like that! Iris thought as she rolled out of the room with tears streaming down her face.
"Iris!" Grace called out. She turned her head as the scene only got worse.
"Al… What are you talking about?"
"Do you remember when you said there was you were afraid to tell me? I think… I think I might know what it was! Maybe you wanted to say that my soul and my memories are really artificial constructions you created! You, Winry and Granny… You've been lying to me all along, haven't you?! What do you have to say for yourself brother?!"
Edward banged his fists onto his tray of food.
"Is that what you really think? Have you believed that all this time? So are you finished, or is there more you wanted to say?"
Al shook his head as Edward stood up.
"Okay." Edward said as he walked out of the room.
"Wait don't go… Ed!" Winry called. Winry turned towards Al. "Al…You…Moron!" Winry yelled as she took a wrench as smashed it against his head.
"Where did that come from?!" Al said as Winry's eyes filled with tears. "Winry…"
"You idiot!" Winry said hitting him in the head once again. "You have no idea how Ed feels! Do you know what he was so afraid to talk to you about?! He wants to know if you blame him for what happened to your body, Al! He said the same thing when he lost his arm! All he would say is how you couldn't sleep, you couldn't eat, you couldn't feel cold or warm, and he tortured himself with those thoughts! Me and granny told him you wouldn't and to ask you himself, but he said he was too afraid! He was too scared of what you would say!" Winry was now on her knees, crying. "And then, you idiot, he said that! Who would ever do something like that? Who would be prepared to risk his own life to create a little brother…? Don't you get it? All the two of you have left is each other! Now, go get your brother! Start running!"
"Right!" Alphonse said as he ran out the door like a bat out of hell.
"I wonder if Iris was like that" Grace said as she held out a hand for Winry. Winry toke Grace's hand and helped herself up. "Some siblings are so close, they don't know what to do if there's even the tiniest bit of mistrust. I can't blame him for being afraid. He wanted to know the truth."
"Al was an idiot for saying it like that though."
"That was Alphonse? I should've known. Well let's go check on those two. I'll deal with Iris once she's calmed down."
"Right" Winry said as the group headed towards the stairs. Ed and Al were lying down, looking at the sky.
Winry smiled at this. Both boys gave a fist bump before standing up.
"Mr. Hughes, maybe you don't have to hear something out loud, but it sure is helpful sometimes." Winry said
"I guess it is" Hughes said.
"Mr. Hughes, could you hold on to Duchess for me?" Grace asked.
"Sure thing" Hughes said taking the leash from Grace's chair. The dog wagged her tail as Hughes walked towards Ed.
"Come on, Ed. You shouldn't be up." Winry lectured as she and Hughes helped him back to his room.
"Um… Excuse me?" Grace said to Alphonse. Alphonse looked down and saw a little girl in a wheel chair.
"Yes?"
"You're Alphonse, right? My sister told me about you" Grace smiled.
"You mean Iris?" Realization hit Al as he saw the resemblance. "You're Grace?"
"Yup. Grace Curtis at your service!" Grace said giggling.
"Nice to meet you! I'm Alphonse Elric. Sorry if I scared Iris earlier" Al said recalling how much he upset her.
"It's fine. She'll cool down, but I have no guarantees." Grace said. "Looks like were in the same boat. Both our siblings blame themselves for what happened to us."
"What happened to…?" Al looked down and saw the girl had only one leg.
"That leg my sister has is a replication I made so she could keep walking. She doesn't get that it was my decision. With you, you just wanted to know the truth. I don't blame you for wanting to know, but you could've been nicer" Grace giggled.
"Yeah… Sorry about that."
"It's fine. I don't blame you. Just be careful if you plan on apologizing to Iris!"
"Thanks. Has Iris always been so …?" Alphonse said trying to find the right word as he recalled how many times she lectured him and Edward.
"Dominant? Commanding? Kind of. I guess she sees you guys as little brothers or something, since our little brother was taken away." Grace said looking down.
"If it's not too personal, what happened to him?"
"Military got him a foster him and separated us. It's fine." Grace said. "Your brother only wants the best for you, no matter how harsh he might be."
"I guess you're right…" Alphonse said as he looked up to the sky.
Grace turned around as she saw Ross standing at the door holding Duchess.
"I'm sorry. I have to go now. I wish you the best of luck with my sister!" Grace said wheeling to the door.
"Thank you Grace!" Alphonse yelled as she wheeled away with Ross. I'll need it…
Later That Day
"You sure you want to do this, Al? I could just apologize for you" Edward offered.
"I'm fine brother. I really hurt Iris' feelings. I need to apologize in person." Al insisted.
"Alright, but it may be difficult. She's pretty mad" Edward warned.
Alphonse opened the door only to be greeted with a brick to the face.
"GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!" Iris yelled as she slammed the door in Al's face.
"How the hell did she get a brick?" Edward said as he helped Al up.
"I don't know but I'm going to apologize!"
"I don't think now's a good time, Al"
Alphonse opened the door and found an angry Iris sitting in bed.
"Are you going to yell shut up at me some more? Or are you done pissing me off like the little bastard you are?"
"That wasn't very nice…" Al said as he walked into the room.
"Neither was that stupid temper tantrum earlier. What do you want?" Iris said as Al sat on a stool.
"I wanted to apologize" Al said "for upsetting you earlier"
"Oh, so did you apologize Edward too? Or are you that much of a jerk?"
"Iris I-"
"Who even put those stupid thoughts in your head?"
"It was-"
"Why would you even-"
"I'm sorry!" Alphonse yelled. Iris stop talking and looked at Al. "I was fighting one of guards at the fifth laboratory and the person I was fighting told me that Ed created me to be his puppet… No matter how hard I tried, it just got into my head. I guess I was just scared that it was the truth. I'm sorry"
"Al… You're right. I should've listened. It just pissed me off that you had so little faith in your brother. You two are like my brothers, it scared me the crap out of me that one stupid fight could tear you guys apart."
"I didn't mean to upset you or scare you" Alphonse said looking at Iris. "Why were you so scared?"
"I was scared because the brothers I had were either taken away or died. I don't want to lose anyone else." Iris said looking down.
"Iris… Edward and I won't be going anywhere." Alphonse said.
"Can you promise? No dying on me?" Iris said smiling.
"You bet. But you have to promise the same thing in return"
"Equivalent exchange" Iris smiled. "You have my word, Alphonse"
There was no way in hell she would let anyone else close to her die again. That was a promise she was going to keep.
Well, I hope you guys liked that chapter. If you have any suggestions for future chapters, PM or review! I want to hear your ideas too! Thanks for this chapter and I'll see you soon!
