Chapter 3

Sophie

So from running for my life from a scary-scar-face-arm guy, whose name is Scar, I end up in a military car…with my hands cuffed behind my back. Oh, I'm also with the two Elric brothers…whose hangs aren't cuffed. Where is the justice in this world???

My position was hardly comfortable, I was wedged between Alphonse and the door, but I barely noticed. I was too angry. Why in the world hadn't I run away when I had the chance? I am so dumb and I'm supposed to be a q—

"Umm…excuse me Ms. … Silvertongue?"

I turned to look at Alphonse.

"Is your name really Silvertongue?" he asked.

"What is a name but something people calls us?" I said, "People call me that so, yes, it is my name."

"You said you weren't an alchemist." Edward said suddenly, "But you do alchemy."

I sighed. Was it really so hard for others to tell the difference?

"An alchemist uses a formula, the understanding of the subject then using that understanding to break it down to its molecular level then building it up as something different." I said, trying to use the smallest words possible, "To do alchemy, you also need an alchemy array…"

"I know that already!" the shrimp snapped.

"Will you be patient, brat?" I said, frowning, "I'm trying to explain the difference between an alchemist and me!"

Edward fell silent and I continued.

"What I do is completely different, my people and I call it the 'Will and the Word' but ordinary people sometimes call it sorcery."

Edward made a sound of disbelief.

"Sorcery…yeah right."

I shrugged my shoulders, "You asked, I answered. I don't lie. I may bend the truth sometimes, or hide part of it but I never tell a lie."

I fell silent and stared out the window but unfortunately my silence was not to be prolonged.

"Can you show me?" Alphonse asked.

"What?" I asked.

"You know…magic."

A pained expression crossed my face.

"Please, that is very insulting. What I do is sorcery. Magic is just a bunch of smoke and mirror tricks designed to dazzle the eyes. I am a sorceress, not a magician. Magicians are tricksters and charlatans."

And I have officially said way too much!

"I'm sorry, Ms. Silvertongue." Alphonse said.

Okay now I felt bad. Alphonse wasn't bad, and he actually sounded interested.

"Call me Silva, its shorter than Silvertongue."

"You have two names?"

"Names are just things people call you remember? I have many, I wear one or the other as I deem appropriate. And as the kind Colonel deemed it right to introduce me with the name I gave him five years ago, I will wear that one."

We were almost at the hospital and since after Hawkeye dropped off the brothers I would be the only one here with no one else I decided it was high time to leave.

"But we're going off topic here. You wanted to see some sorcery right? Well…watch."

I twisted so my back was turned to them.

"Open." I said clearly.

The handcuffs fell away.

Edward snorted.

"Cheap trick. You probably picked them."

I smiled calmly, "Then how do you explain this?"

I held my hands close to my chest, forefingers extended. Their tips an inch apart.

"Teleport."

A small light appeared in the space between my fingers. Slowly, it grew to envelope me…then I found myself outside the car.

And that's it! Yeah I know it was sorta cliffhanger-y? But that's the way it is...Don't worry I'm almost done with the next installment!! So since I've been so nice today and updated twice...please pretty please with sugar, icing and ... and ... chocolate sprinklies! on top review me!!!
