Second chapter! Lot's of things start to happen . . .

Roy: Hey! What did I supposedly died from?

Me: . . . I dunno. I never thought about it.

Roy: WHAT? You created the freakin' story!

Me: Okay, they said you died from . . . a gunshot.

Roy: . . . I'm the flame alchemist, I don't die from a gunshot.

Me: Go along with it!

Chapter 2
Royai: Heart's Blood

She quickly got dressed. Her heart beat as fast as hummingbird's wings. His jacket, HIS JACKET, was on her shoulders. The dream repeated itself again and again. What had he told her? He had said he was alive. She ran out the door, jumping into her car. She sped down the road towards central command. She had to tell her subordinates. They'd believe her, right?

She ran towards the office, pushing the doors open. All four were there . . . almost. Havoc and Breda were asleep, while Falman and Feury did paperwork. The two quiet officers looked up at her dramatic entrance.

"Lieutenant Hawkeye?" Feury asked, "Is everything alright?"

"No." she panted, trying to catch her breath. "The colonel's jacket . . . it was . . ." By now the second lieutenants were awake.

"What about the colonel's jacket?" Havoc questioned sleepily.

"When I awoke it was around my shoulders." she stated. All four looked at her in disbelief. But then Breda tried to reason.

"Maybe you fell asleep with it and forgot."

"Why would I have the colonel's jacket?"

"Maybe he gave it to you . . ." Breda muttered under his breath. Hawkeye, too tired to pull out her gun, glared at him.

"It's not just that . . . I dreamed of him. He said he was alive . . ."

"Maybe you just miss him so much. I suggest you take some leave time." Falman explained. She nodded. Havoc offered to tell their new commanding officer that she wasn't feeling well. She walked back, still not able to shed a single tear.

Am I going crazy? she thought. Maybe. But it felt so real.She drove her car to her apartment. Black Hayate, surprised she was home so early, greeted her excitedly. He jumped up and down trying to get her affections. She patted his head.

She decided to get some more sleep. That it would clear her mind. She layed down, letting it all sink in. She could have swore she hadn't slept with the jacket. But it was the only explanation she had. He was gone. That was it. She kept thinking as she slowly fell asleep.

This place again? she thought. She was definately at the same place.

"Riza . . ." Mustang's voice called. "Finally, you're back." He embraced her, holding her close. She allowed herself to sink in the strong hold.

"Colo-"

"Roy."

"Right. Roy, what's going on?" she whispered.

"I told you. I'm alive. Do you believe me?" She thought for a moment. It all felt real, and the jacket . . .

"Yes." she answered. Maybe she only wanted to believe he was alive. Her heart said yes, her brain said no.

"Good. Now I need you to listen carefully." She nodded. "I'm located at the place where I gained my heart's blood." She looked up at him, confused. She squirmed, irritated because she couldn't figure it out.

"I don't understand." she whimpered.

"You will, Riza. You're the most intelligent woman I know." he murmured into her ear, "I love you Riza. I always will."

"I love you too." she sighed. She wracked her brain, trying to find the answer.

"Riza I have to go now. You need to wake up." His dark ebony eyes looked into her burgundy ones. She clutched him, feeling something smooth being pushed into her hands.

"But I can't figure it out! I don't want you to leave me. Not again . . ."

" Just remember all of what I said to you. And I'll never leave you. Now wake up Riza." he said softly, his voice warm. "Wake up . . . wake up . . . wake up . . ."

Her eyes slowly opened. She sat up quickly, remembering the dream. Then remembered the thing being pushed into her hands. She opened them, finding a state alchemist's silver pocket watch. She opened it up, finding where the colonel had carved his transmutation circle. She remembered that all state alchemist's were buriedwith the pocket watch. She bolted out the door, already dressed. He WAS alive! And she was going to find him.

Thanks for reading chapter 2! Chapter 3 will be up soon (hopefully). Okay I've made my decision on the baby names so no more voting. After this story is finished keep an eye out for Royai: Baby. Please review. The more I know what I'm doing wrong the faster I write! (*Hint*) SO TELL ME!

Thanks, Hawkeye-Fan-101
