chapter 6, enjoy!

I woke up to Kida licking my face. I looked around and saw that I was at home. I also wasn't alone, that man was with me. That man with the scar. He sat near the entrance to the tent and was looking out. He turned around when he heard my movement. I stared at him, unwilling to look at anything else, not even my pounding arm.

"How do you feel?" His question was short, sweet, and to the point. I get the feeling he's not a big talker.

"Well other than the missing arm, the fact my friend is dead, and that I'm sitting here with a stranger, I'm just great. Absolutely peachy." He stared at me for a minute.

"I'm sorry. I know you're young, but you must understand." He grabbed for my arm and when I pulled away he stared until I showed it to him. It wasn't until then that I noticed I had an arm. It was metal. I had automail. I HAD AN AUTOMAIL ARM!

"When did this happen? Wha-wha-" I stared in disbelief. "thank you."

"Don't thank me. It was a blonde girl. She saw me carrying you and offered to give you your arm back. She said she wouldn't charge you because it's a prototype." He looked away. "I allowed her to give you back what you lacked because I felt I owed you for making a child witness death. If you want an actual model you have to go to Resembool and find Winry." He stood.

"Are you leaving? How did you find my home?" I was practicing flexing my new hand.

"Your dog led me here and yes, I have to be on my way." He opened the flap of the tent then turned back to face me. "You can call me Scar. I'm relieved I can help another Ishbalan survive." He stepped out of the tent and I yelled "My name is Lyra!" I scrambled out of my home to ask a few more questions about him, but he was gone.

I hated him. And yet, I didn't. I owed him for my arm. He was a monster, but I wasn't his target. I had to tell Ed and Al about Nina. Poor girl...I will never tell them her last words. I'm alone again now. No mom, no dad, no Allen, I don't even have Nina. All I have is Kida.

"Kida" He began following me. I grabbed my scarf and left my alley. I wandered the streets trying to find the Elric brothers. They would probably know, but in case they didn't I wanted to be the one who told them. I wasn't sure how much I'd tell them, but I'd tell them enough to know exactly what Tucker had done to her. I wanted Tucker to die. I wanted to kill him. I'm sure those two would agree with me.

I had been wandering for a while, trying to find them, but to no avail. After a few hours of city searching I decided to go to the one place I had avoided the whole time. The Tucker Estate. I began my trek to that home when I heard someone behind me.

"Hey, girl!" I turned to look at the place the voice came from. "Yes you!"

It was a girl with long blonde hair wearing a dress.

"I'm Winry, I created that automail you have on!" I did a double-take. THIS was Winry of Resembool? I expected a woman in her 40's or a woman who looked like a man. This girl seemed too delicate to be a mechanic from her appearance. I must be wrong if she could create this arm, but it seemed odd for this girl.

"Thank you. My arm works very well. This was only a prototype?" I flexed my fingers and spun my hand in a circular motion. She seemed pleased with the fluidity of my movements. "Have you heard of the Elric brothers?" It may be a stretch but she might have done Ed's automail. It was worth asking.

"Ed and Al? Of course! I grew up with them." Bingo "I made Ed's automail. Kinda like I made yours!"

"Oh, okay! Um, do you know where they are? I-I have something to tell them..."

"Yeah, I do! but we can't get to them now. State alchemist business. You can wait with me if you want?"

"Sure." Winry and I sat outside a large white building on the steps leading to the door. She had a suitcase next to her so it seemed she would be here awhile. We talked about little things for awhile as we waited, like about Kida and her work.

"Isn't that just like Ed to keep me waiting forever," she said after some time.

"They do that often?"

She nodded, "yeah, they get distracted very easily."

We both sighed in unison. I looked up at the sky trying to see shapes in the clouds. I thought I saw a bunny when I heard Winry gasp. She stood and ran to the left, leaving her suitcase and a red jacket behind. She stopped just in front of a large truck. The side of the truck read 'Barry's Food Shop'.

She circled it in awe, "That's one of those new refrigerated trucks!" She stepped closer and mumbled to herself about how cool it was and how she'd never seen one. I hadn't either but wasn't as fascinated as she was. I can see how she would be a good mechanic.

"I'd sure like to take it apart!" Winry really was interested in this truck.

"I'm afraid that'd make it a bit hard to drive." Kida began to grumble and Winry and I jumped a bit at a woman with brown hair who appeared behind us.

"Oh I'm sorry, is this your truck?" I stood silent with Kida as the two talked.

"Sure is," The woman opened one of the two doors on the back, "I use it to make deliveries."

"It really is amazing!"

"Would you like to take a look inside?"

"Really? Can I? Thank you so much!" I felt apprehensive about this, but I felt I should stick with Winry so I climbed in behind her. I turned to Kida who was about to jump in too, and said, "No, this is a food delivery truck, no dogs. Sit and wait there, kay?" I turned to see what Winry was looking at when I heard Kida yelp and heard him hit the ground. Before I could get to where I could see, the door was slammed shut and locked. Winry and I squealed as we were thrown back by the truck as it began to move. If I still had my chalk I might have been able to do something, but stupid as I am, I left it at home. We were banged around a little more before we finally stopped. I waited for the door to open so I could ambush her. I pounced on the figure as the door opened, but she was too fast for me. She caught me and slammed my head against the side of the truck and my vision went black.

I hope you liked it! Dont forget to review! ;)
