Nevermore Sister

Half Truth

-----+-----

"WHEN THE FUCK WERE YOU GOING TO TELL US? THRITY FUCKING YEARS FROM NOW?"

Al was visibly recoiling at his brother's words that were directed to Pinako. Ed's face was red, his actions suggesting homicide. All the while, Al knew Ed had to have attracted the attention of everyone from here to Central and back. Winry just sat by the large suit of armor, doing her best to keep him calm despite his brother.

"I don't appreciate that language nor your attitude my house," Pinako said, not taking her eyes from the letter that was addressed to her. She skimmed the contents, folded it up and placed it back in the envelope and putting that into a counter drawer with other letters of the same appearance. This ticked Ed off even more.

"Listen," Ed said, getting in her face. "I want to know. I want the goddamned truth Pinako. We have a right to know this was kept a secret for so long."

"I won't say anything. You'll just have to figure it out on your own."

Ed watched as the woman took out a piece of paper and a pen. She scribbled down a few things and folded it up. She held out the paper to him and he stared at her.

"This all the information I am going to give you. The rest you have to find out on your own."

Snarling like a pissed off dog, Ed snatched the paper from the woman and turned harshly to his brother.

"Pack it up Al," he said. "Vacation's over. We're going to Lior today."

He stalked off towards his room to pack up his necessary things. He took a quick glance at the paper before pocketing it and storming down the stairs. Al was already waiting by the door. Ed stormed past him without so much as a glance towards Pinako or Winry. Al hesitantly waved at the two women before moving to catch up with his brother.

Once on the train, neither said a word to the other. Al just stared out the window like always and Ed just fumed about what he learned. Who the fuck was she to keep this a secret from them? What the hell was their problem? Why didn't they tell them sooner, and why would their mother not tell them even though she was dying?

None of this made sense to the elder. That's why he was going to Lior. He needed to get the truth and the only way to do that was to go to the source. Their source happened to live in Lior.

Ed took out the paper that he got from Pinako. He stared at it. It was nothing but a few doodles and some notes.

Tattoo: while facing her, left-hand side of navel. Upside down cross with swirling ivy. Full Name: Skye Delilah Elric. Age: 19.

And that was it. Nothing more on a description them that. The only way to find her would to look for the tattoo. This was going to be difficult.

Ed wondered who else knew about her. If Mustang did, Ed was going to ram his automail blade up the bastard's ass. Be sure about that.

A/N: So, I wonder if getting Ed pissed because he didn't know he had a sister is actually better than calling him short. O.o;; WHAT AM I THINKING? Calling him short is much more fun! Reviews please.

Pathetic Writer: Here you go! What do you think? I'll get the next one soon for you!
