Back to the story
Chapter 3
Mana woke the next morning a little before dawn. Sitting up without pain for the first time in a while, she set her feet on the floor and stood up.
Joy surged through her as she walked to her closet. She opened the door and moved aside the row of clothes on the rack. On the back wall was a hook that her special outfit she had made for her travel. It consisted of a soft black tube top half shirt, bisept-high black gloves made of a special material with bright red Alchemy symbols, a blck skirt that came down to about Mid-calf and on the floor was a pair of Knee-high black leather heeled boots. On a hook of it's own hung a red sleeveless overcoat with a hood and the same symbol on the back as the one onEd's coat.
Taking these out of her closet, she changed into them as quick and as quietly as she could amid the clanking of automail. She pulled on the boots and picked up the coatand left her room, closing her door behind her. Going through the living-room, MAna caught sight of her reflection in the mirror on the oppositewall from the couch where Ed was sprawled asleep. Looking at her reflection, she started at the sight of her arm, not being used to the automail yet.
She ran her fingers through her hair, making a side part. She looked over at Ed, turned back and began to braid her own hair the same way. When she was done, she went down the hall, into the kitchen, and out the back door.
The raised wooden platform was still there, stained with her blood. Anger filled her and she clapped her hands once, making the same, metallic like sound Ed's did ashe had fixed her mother's dish. She placed her hands on the ground and a light shone and the table was launched into the air. She stood up and snapped her fingers a fire ignited and streaked up to the table, which caught on fire in mid air. The table crashd to the ground in a blaze. A creek ran down through the back of the yard and Mana walked to the bank, dipped one finger in, and when she pulled it out, the water came with it in a long stream. She then splashed both hands in and clapped the fingertips together. She pulled them out of the water, turned to the blazing table and faced her palms towards it. The water burst from the creek and shot itself into the fire, putting it out. Smoke rose from the pile of Charcoal, blocking out the house's view of the yard.
Mana looked at the red symbol on the back of her right hand and the blue one on the palm of her left hand. She scrapped the blue across the red and with her arms straight up in the air, crossed her wrists and brought her arms down without bending her elbows and faced two blue palms towards the smoking pile. Unnatural air currents blasted the smoke away and cooled what little had been still glowing.
Mana walked around the pile of charcoal and sat on the back steps.
"I will find Papa. And when I do…"
She snapped her fingers and flames appeared and took the shape of a skull.
"He's that bad, huh?"
Mana turned to find Ed standing in the doorway.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Did I wake you?"
"Well, yeah, but that's okay. Where did you learn to do that?"
"I learned it all out of the books. My father sucks as an Alchemist, he hardly taught me anything."
"If he gave you all those books how can he be so horrible an Alchemist?"
"He never really read them. He looked at the Diagrams and that was it."
"So that's why he did what he did, he was jealous of you."
"Yup. I should probably take care of that pile of coal."
She clapped once and slammed her hands on the dirt and the earth beneath the pile of coal lifted out and after thecoal fell in the hole the displaced earth landed on top, burying the coal underneath.
"Nice trick," Ed said.
"So, you still wanna come us?"
"Of course!"
"How soon do you plan to leave?"
"Two weeks ago."
The both of them started to laugh.
Mana asked, "does this mean I can come with you?"
"Yeah, sure. Why not. We could use someone like you."
"oh, thank you. I'll make sure you don't regret it."
Mana put on her Sleeveless besymboled red coat and ran inside to pack. Ed caught sight of the back of the coat and grinned.
'I hope she knows that the military follows us almost everywhere.'
