Chapter 16 – Davri
After I was knocked out by Revenge, I had lost all track of time and location. My sides throbbed, along with my head. It seemed like ages before I finally was able to open my eyes.
I was in a small room, that was furnished for royalty. The bed I was laying on and the couch were laced in silk and royal purple velvet, and a large table stood before me, with multiple gowns and dresses lay. My clothes, which were once covered in blood, was now a white silk gown, with a loose fill top and long draped sleeves. My hair, was for some reason, dyed brown, and grown out. I had no idea how they did it, but, it was longer than the originally cut short one. A full wall mirror also dawned on the northern wall, the southern wall was a glass wall looking out into a luscious grass filled landscape with many trees and flowers. I had no idea where I was, but, a memory nagged at the back of my mind. The western wall was a full wall with pictures and other stuff, with a door too. I walked over, noticing that my ribs were healed, and saw that the door was locked.
"You aren't getting out that way."
I turned around and saw a boy, about 18 or nineteen years old, dressed in fine silver silk. His hair was pure silver against bright green eyes. It draped over his shoulders, too. His voice was calm and sweet and so was his scent. He seemed as though no harm was to come of me. Perfect. His mind was easy to read, but, what he thought of was what he was doing at that moment. I shook it. "You haven't even changed yet." He lifted up a quite revealing outfit that was of purple and blue hues, and then another one in oranges and browns.
"For what?" I snapped my voice cold. He didn't seem to notice, or, his voice nor mind showed it.
"Your concert of course, Blood. The Fullmetal has been asked to partake in a battle against our lead fighter, and you were asked to sing, my dear."
"Dear? I never agreed to anything to sing for, snot nosed brat!" He lifted up his hand, and I didn't move. I looked into his eyes with fury, and noticed the same fury returned his eyes.
"That was fair warning, Blood. Next time my hand flies, it will hit its mark," he said. His voice was cold, I actually shuddered. I scoffed and turned to the window. "What are you doing?"
"Where is the Fullmetal now?"
"Why would you care to know?" he snapped, walking up behind me. "I am an actual man and he is nothing more than a short small, young little boy."
"I do not believe that was the question I asked, sir…" I wavered on the last beat. I didn't even know the idiot's name!
"My name is Devri, my lady."
"Yeah…" I exaggerated on that, showing him that I really didn't care. I glared at him as he moved over towards where I was sitting, and found the sketchbook in a drawer. How did that get there? I thought. I looked inside his mind and saw him wanting to open it, which he did.
The first page was blank, but, he turned the picture and found a sketch of HQ's front. Every detail was there, from little military officers down up front, to the shadowing of the sun. The second page was of Roy, Riza, and Hughes together, all smiling as if nothing in the world would tear them apart. The third was of my younger sister, Iralla, with her long silvery hair and her blue gray eyes. She was also smiling in that picture, and she held up a cross stitch of a beautiful red wolf she had made just for me. The third was of Alphonse, in his armor, and what I thought he looked like from Edward's descriptions as a human. The last, I gasped when he turned to it. It was Edward. We had a fight during our travels, and he was injured, relatively badly, and I had healed him. It showed him on the ground, with his shirt torn off, and a white bandage being wrapped around his chest by me. His blood covered my hand, and he was gazing up at me with those golden orbs he calls eyes. I sighed as I remembered that day, and Devri slammed the book down. "Get dressed!" he snapped, throwing a box at me. He left the room, and I heard the door lock again after him. I opened up the box and noticed the outfit, noting that if I was to get out of here with Edward and Al alive, I had to participate.
