Mushroom-sama: Well it seems there are two people who like my story so far. Happiness! On ward!
One question after another
Like most people had once said and still do now, all good things must come to an end. There was one thing that Alphonse wished would not end and that was the quiet peace that had developed during the train ride. Amy was currently looking out the window with a piece of bread half way into her mouth and Edward was sleeping lying down on the bench again.
"Hmp...Does he do anything but sleep?" Amy asked as she lifted an eyebrow at Edward who was having his limbs hanging from the chair. Alphonse laughed nervously as he looked at his elder brother. Sometimes it was surprising to others that he was, in fact, the younger sibling of the two. As Amy turned back around in her chair, she continued to eat her bread and soon she two fell asleep. It was about noon when the train came to a stop to another station, people cam on and off as usual, the three of them just stayed in their positions and soon the train was off again. Amy looked outside along the rail tracks and sighed deeply. Both ways she looked it was a long journey to and from, if they ever tried to walk along the tracks it would seem never ending.
All was quiet until a gun shot was heard and a woman screamed, Amy stayed in her current position as if unaffected by the gunshot, but still turned her eyes in the direction of the noise without a care. Her eyes were cold and sent shivers down the backs of the children who were huddling with their mothers. Five men approached Amy and pointed their guns at her head and told her to get up. Amy sat there still staring with the cold eyes.
"I said get up, brat!" one of the men yelled as Amy rolled her eyes and continued to look out the window. The man fired a shot near her head but still Amy didn't flinch, however she did turn and get up.
"What do you want? Can't you see there are civilians here?" Amy retorted as she glared at the men. Three of them flinched at her cold words as the other two held their guns in her face.
"You're of the military…state you name and rank. No lying or the people here all die." The second man threatened as he pointed his gun to a child and his mother. She laughed as she started to circle around the men until she was in front of the woman and her child. Winking at them, Amy turned to the men and grinned.
"I am Amy Maya, a Lt. in the military." Amy plainly said as she crossed her arms at them and sighed in boredom. The men grinned at each other, they had found a weakling in the army and were about to hold her out for ransom. Little did they know, they had chosen the wrong person at the very wrong time, not until later did they regret their actions. Amy let her hands down to her side and quickly put on a pair of gloves, then as she secured the gloves, clapping her hands together then slowly pulling them apart. Reveal a small ball of light in the middle of her gloved hands. Taking her hands and slapped them back together, rubbing them against each other hard in the process, she ran up toward the men with speed.
Grinning, Amy lightly placed one hand on each of the two men, stunning them with an electrical shock from her hands. The third man came from behind her but as Amy turned around to shock him; the man fell with a thump onto the wooden floor of the train. Behind him Alphonse waved at her, as Edward went forward to tie up the men with the steel rope he had just transmuted.
"Who are you?" One woman asked in fright as she held her child close to her, who was also shaking in fear. Amy rubbed her hands together again but more softly before wiping them onto the side of her jacket, and then walked over to the row in where the woman and her child were.
Instead of out bursting anger, Amy bowed deeply instead turning the car of train silent once again.
"Please accept my most humble apologies, ma'am. I did not mean to frighten you and your child." Amy said as she got up to full height and smiled at the child, reaching into her pocket she pulled out a lollipop and handed to the child. The little boy looked at his mother unsure, but as soon as his mother let him go he jumped on Amy.
"Thank you for saving us Miss!" the boy laughed as he gave her a toothy grin. After the boy went back to his mother and more children rampaged Amy for sweets, all was quiet again as if nothing ever happened.
"You seem to have a way with words, Amy." Alphonse complemented as he chuckled on remembering the scene with the boy and his mother. Amy shrugged and looked out the window again, but as soon as she did Edward suddenly popped up in her face, making her jump back in surprise.
"What kind of Alchemy was that? You didn't have to use circles…"Edward question as he looked at Amy with stern eyes.
"Why do you think they call me the Elemental Dragon Alchemist? It was electrical, and I have the circles drawn into the palm of my gloves." Amy explained tiredly as she pushed his faced away, the thought of him just made her sick. Edward flung her hand away and leaned forward in his seat once more.
"I have another question…do you know about the Homunculi?" Edward asked, the question sent shivers down Amy's back but she could see that they too where shaken from word.
"I do the artificial humans, the bodies without souls." Amy mused to herself but loud enough for Edward and Alphonse to hear her. Looking at them with blank eyes and a in a cold voice she asked, "What about them?"
"You talk of them as if they were humans…" Alphonse said in surprise.
"Yea, I get that a lot, but it is because that is what they are." Amy sighed smiling.
"Human? They can regenerate, they have abilities to kill, and each took many lives of other people to be made! How can you call them, humans!" Edward demanded in a low hiss. Amy looked at him and her eyes softened a bit, but it was only for a moment.
"I met them once, a while back, before I became an Alchemist…a woman with long black hair and cold black eyes. Next was a fat person with no hair on his head at all, and a man with very long spiky hair with a crude expression on his face. I was only about seven then, when I first saw them…" Amy started to trail off as she once again turned her attention out the window, getting lost within the clear blue skies of her memory.
