The Beginning
Edward looked at the door in surprise and then looked away as both girls entered the room. Winery was smiling again and Amy was wearing her uniform which was a size too big but still somewhat fit her. Taking the belt from the corner table she put it around her waist, as she did so the three of them caught the sight of a sliver object inside the holder and realized it was a gun. Shivering the three looked away, while trying not to make any sign that they noticed the gun. Amy not taking any notice to this just tightened the belt and then walked over to a near by chair.
"Do you feel any better? You had quiet a fight." Amy smiled warmly as she sat down in the chair. Edward got up from the bed and then walked over to Alphonse, checked if all the pieces were there and transmuted him back to normal in a bright blue light. Amy looked at them with glazed eyes, and then snapped to focus when she realized that Edward was trying to leave the room. Standing up she brushed off her jacket and grabbed the back of Edward's hospital clothes.
"I don't think so. You wait here until you get better, sir." Amy said as she dragged him back to his bed. Her eyes sharpened as she looked down on Edward sitting down. He was glaring up at while she looked down on him, sighing Amy just sat down next to the door. Soon Winery, Edward and Alphonse started to talk again, while Akayu deiced to just watch them talk, so happily. After about an hour Alphonse was fixed and Winery left them, not with out saying something to Amy first.
"He's a bit on the rough side but if you can see under that cold metal heart, I think you'll see something you'll like. Good luck and see you again soon, Amy." Winery said quickly under her breath only so Amy could hear her first sentence. Amy looked at her run down the hallway then turned to the room again. Looking into the room she saw Edward twitched a little bit but then glared at her.
"I'm not happy about this either you know…having to guard you against Scar and following you everywhere…" the girl replied as her eyes showed a little irritation that wasn't there before.
"Then don't do it. It's that simple." Edward shot back as he lied down on his bed turning to the wall.
"I wish it was that easy. I cannot disobey orders; it would endanger more people than myself." Amy retorted as she went back to sitting in her chair in the far side of the room.
"SO you're doing this all for selfish reasons then?" Edward demanded as he turned around only to be met by a very powerful glare.
"No, haven't you been listening? I said I would endanger the people who know and have connections with me." Amy hissed through her teeth. If there was one thing she couldn't stand it, was people who didn't think nor care for the well-being of others. Now seeing Edward Elric the Fullmetal Alchemist, he was just another bratty kid that wanted things to go his way.
"What is it about you? Why are people going to get hurt? Are you studying on the philosopher's stone?" Edward questioned while narrowing his eyes. Amy made no sign of hearing what he had said; she just sat there looking bored at the ceiling. It was not her place to anything about things like that and let alone she wasn't even supposed to be involved with anyone who knew. Why Roy had given her this mission she did not know, but whatever the reason was Amy intended to figure it out.
"Answer me, damn it." Edward cursed as he grit his teeth and glared daggers at the girl. Still she seemed unfazed and looked right back him with bored eyes.
"Alphonse…you would be kind enough to watch your brother while I make a phone call?" Amy said as she got up and looked at Alphonse who was sweating a river at the conversation that had happened before hand. Nodding quickly, Amy smiled and left the two and quickly ran down the hall. Roy Mustang had better watch out because Amy was burning mad.
Ring….
Ring…
Ring…
Ring…
"He's not picking up the phone…he must know it's me." Amy hissed as she glared at the phone. Just when she was about to slam it back onto its holder a voice crackled through.
"Hello? Colonel Mustang's office." Came Hawkeye's voice through the phone.
"Lt. Hawkeye, this is Lt. Maya. I wished to speak to the Colonel for a moment. Please." Amy said in her robotic military voice. The phone was shuffled and there was a deep sigh on the other sigh of the phone.
"What do you want?" Roy's irritated voice demanded.
"What is wrong with you! Sticking me with a brat like him! All he thinks about is himself and his brother! He's so thick headed! Who in the world gave you the idea to make me is escort!" Amy hissed through the phone as quickly as she could so the civilians couldn't hear her.
"HAHAHAHAHA! Actually it was the Furor's idea if you really wanted to know." Roy laughed on the other line. Amy glared at the phone the best she could before she hung the phone as softly as she could with out breaking it. Finally she reentered the room of the Elrics' and found the window opened and a note. Smacking herself on the head she swore that today was just not her day. Going over to the table she picked up the little piece of paper and read it quickly. Smirking to herself she stuffed the paper into her pocket and then gathered their stuff from the counter, after that she ran out of the hospital towards the train station.
"I think we can lose her this way." Edward said as he peaked out the window quickly stuffing his hands into his snow white gloves. Alphonse looked worriedly at the platform half hoping that Amy would arrive and half hoping she wouldn't so the two wouldn't have to fight again.
"You know…it's not a smart idea to leave all your stuff at the counter. For example, your suitcase, then your state issued pocket watch and finally your red coat." Came a voice from the seat behind them.
Edward and Alphonse looked towards the speaker but saw nothing but a sea of people in front of them. No one was wearing the blue military uniform as far as they could see. A girl sat behind Edward with a long black coat with white gloves, she was reading a newspaper and seemed to be relaxed, around them were people talking and laughing.
"I think I'm hearing stuff Al…" Edward said softly as he sat down again only to hear the voice once again.
"Well then you should have stayed in the hospital a little longer instead of running away." Came the simple reply. Edward and Alphonse still immensely confused slowly, once again looked around themselves.
"I'm starting to think that my conscious has an outside voice." Edward stated as he looked at Alphonse in question.
"Or it could be your guilt maybe?" the voice once again spoke.
"Damn it where are you?" Edward hissed as he sat in his seat not moving anything but his eyes.
"Right behind you." The voice answered simply. Edward wiped around to Amy with a smug smile on her face. Jumping back and off the seat Edward started to shake a finger at her. Amy just sighed as she waved to Alphonse, who sighed in relief that he wasn't crazy.
"Amy!" Edward stared in wonder as he got back up.
"The one and only…" she replied dully while rolling her eyes.
"Here's your stuff..."Amy said as she threw the objects over the chair and onto the seat where Edward was sitting before.
"How come you're not in your uniform?" Edward demanded in a low voice.
"I am in my uniform…" Amy rolled her eyes as she turned around for Edward to see ht e blue military uniform she was wearing, it was only the black coat that was blocking his view of the uniform. Edward cursed under his breath and then started to mumble things that were inaudible as he got back to his seat. The train jolted then started forward as the sun was setting, making everything shine gold in its light. Amy, Edward and Alphonse looked out the window and sighed simultaneously; looked like this was going to be a long trip.
