Sorry for procrastinating again… Emily said it's one of my favorite things to do… LOL. So ANYWAYYYYY, enjoy this chapter, because I probably won't get around to posting, let alone WRITING, chapter 11 any time soon. THAT'S RIGHT. You'll just have to wait! One, I'm starting school on the 20th, which is THIS Monday. That also means less time for writing, more time for learning. *ahem* FORCED learning. Two, I've started watching Hetalia, again! So I've started a Hetalia fanfiction! It'll be posted on here soon. C: ON TO CHAPTER 10, MY PEOPLE!
Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist, or anything else used in this story. I only own Emily, and her family (including Uncle Mark).
Now, ENJOY!
Chapter 10
I found myself wondering how Uncle Mark had even survived all these years. Ed had suggested that we have stew for dinner, and after my Uncle dumbly stared at the wall, he resorted to cooking ramen instead. I guess he doesn't know how to cook real food…or maybe he doesn't cook anything that doesn't come with directions…? I let out a sigh.
Ten minutes had passed, and the three of us were at the round dinner table in the dining room. Ed and I were eating like starving children Ling, probably because Lemur showed up and transported us before we could eat lunch. Uncle Mark just laughed and ate his ramen calmly.
After we had finished, Uncle Mark leaned back in his chair and stretched, letting out a yawn. Clearing his throat, he said, "So, Edward…You need a place to sleep, right? Emily has two beds in her room, so I guess you can stay in there…"
"Alright, thank you, Mr. Mark!" Ed said, smiling at my Uncle.
"BUT…" Uncle Mark began, slamming his hands on the table and giving Ed a very threatening glare, "If you try anything with her, I'll rip that metal arm off, and beat you bloody with it…" he warned.
"WHAT..?" I blurted, a blush creeping onto my face. An image of Ed "trying anything" with me popped into my head, and I blushed even more.
"G-Got it, sir! I wasn't even planning on it!" Ed rushed to get his words out, and when I looked at him, he was blushing, too.
Uncle Mark relaxed a bit and chuckled, "I like you, Edward. You're cool."
I stared at him, because I'd never heard him say that to anyone…except me, of course…I was confused.
"I like you too, sir." Ed replied politely.
Uncle Mark showed us to my room. "Goodnight, you two…and Edward, I advice that you take my warning from before, seriously." He said bluntly.
"Yes sir, Mr. Mark!" Ed replied. Uncle Mark gave me a loving smile before closing the door.
After changing into my sleep clothes from home, I plopped down on my bed and let out a tired sigh. I stared up at my ceiling and thought about what I was going to do when we got back to Amestris. Somehow, my thoughts morphed into what I was going to do if I saw Lemur again. My anger was telling me that I should rip his throat out, and I came so close to agreeing with it.
"Emily..?" I jumped at the sound of his voice, because honestly, I had forgotten that he was here, I was so absorbed in my thoughts.
"Hmm?" I answered.
"What are you thinking about?" Ed asked.
I sighed, letting some of my irritation out. "It's nothing."
"Liar"
Damn, I guess I really am a bad liar. "Fine, I was thinking about that asshole, Lemur." I admitted. "I'm contemplating whether I should rip his throat out, or let him live." I was half joking, half serious.
"Ah…" Ed sighed.
"What're you thinking about, Ed?" I asked.
"I'm thinking about how Al's going to kill me when we get back." He chuckled. He's right…Al must be worried sick about his brother and I.
I let out yet another sigh and smiled. "Goodnight, Ed." I mumbled.
"Night, Emily." He replied.
-Lemur's Perspective-
"ED!" screamed Emily, as a blonde boy with a braid raced towards her. Is this her boyfriend or something? I thought to myself. The boy embraced her, and my technique engulfed them both. When the giant suit of armor arrived, they were already gone.
"Huh..?" said the suit of armor, "But I could've sworn that Emily and brother…" He seemed to be talking to himself, so I turned and began to walk away.
"H-Hey, wait!" Nice… he noticed me.
I turned and faced the kid in the armor, "What?" I said, a little too bluntly.
"Do you know where those two people went?" he asked, innocently. So he hadn't seen..? I chuckled in amusement.
"Yes. As a matter of fact, I do. Anymore questions, kid?" I sighed. I needed to wrap this up, or else Lion, who was waiting for me with the car, would be pissed.
"Yes, a few actually…" the armored kid replied.
"Spill it, kid! I don't have all day!" I snapped impatiently.
"Are…are you a good guy?" Mr. Armor, which is what I'll call him from now on, asked.
"Good guy..? How old are you, two? I don't even think people use labels like that, anymore! Err…sorry, I'm rambling. Well, Mr. Armor, to answer your question; no, I'm not good." I answered. "Next question, and hurry it up, would you? I'm running out of time!" I complained.
"Okay…W-Who are you? Are you a homunculus..?" he asked. At least he was making it a bit easier for me.
"The name's Lemur. R." I said, putting my sunglasses on, like a boss. "What the hell's a homunculus..?" I finished.
"So that's a no..?" Mr. Armor mused.
"Well, kid, it's been fun, but I've really got to jet!" I said waving and making my way back to the parking lot.
"W-Wait!" yelled Mr. Armor.
"Maybe next time, kid…" I called back.
I entered the parking lot and made my way towards the vehicle. As expected, a very angry woman was sitting behind the wheel, with her arms crossed. I braced myself, and got in the car.
"What the hell took you so long? Damn, I was waiting forever!" growled Lion, through clenched teeth.
She had wavy, shoulder-length, black hair and light blue eyes. I had to admit, she was pretty. Though, every time I tell her that, she punches me in the gut, and tells me to get a life. Such a wonderful personality…
"Sorry!" I snapped, "There were a few…complications."
"Like what..?" Lion snapped back.
"Well, all was going well…I was transporting her… but then a short kid with blonde, braided hair, showed up and was transported with her… and then, a kid in a suit of armor started asking me a bunch of questions and crap…" I trailed off.
"…You mean the Elric brothers…?" Lion gasped.
"That's who they were..?" I mumbled.
"SHIT! This is bad…This is really bad…She was never supposed to meet them! How could this have happened?" panicked Lion, "Where did you transfer her, the first time?" she asked.
"Resembool… I think." I answered, confused.
" YOU DUMBASS!" She yelled, "You know the Elric brothers are from Resembool, right?"
"Whoops..!" I laughed, nervously. She sighed and mumbled something along the lines of, "you idiot." I didn't say anything else, because what's done is done. Besides, we both knew one thing, for sure;
Bossman was not going to be happy about this.
-Emily's Perspective-
I was warm under the blanket; it smelled a lot like home. Smiling, I rolled over to see if Ed was awake. Surprisingly, he wasn't there. I yawned and dragged myself out of bed, looking at the alarm clock. I frowned, seeing that it was 11:00 am. Why hadn't anyone tried to wake me up? Now I only had an hour and a half to spend with Uncle Mark! No…scratch that. I had to get ready and stuff, so I basically had no time left. I grunted tiredly, and got in the shower.
After my shower, I dried my hair and got dressed. I packed all of my stuff into my bag and went into the kitchen.
Ed and Uncle Mark were talking about who knows what, when I walked in. "Good morning, sunshine…" Uncle Mark greeted me, with a sad expression on his face.
"Morning…" I replied mirroring his expression. "Ed…" I started, reluctantly, "…It's time to go…" I swallowed, fighting the pointless tears.
Ed looked at me and nodded, getting up from his seat. I gave Uncle Mark a big hug, "I'm sorry…" I whispered.
"Don't be…at least I know you're okay…" He smiled sadly.
I nodded and turned toward the door, with Edward close behind me. Uncle Mark placed a hand on Ed's shoulder, "Edward…please…take care of her for me…" He requested. Hearing this caused the tears to flow, no matter how much I resisted.
"I will, sir. I promise." assured Ed. After waving goodbye, Ed and I were on our way.
After ten minutes of walking silently on the dirt road, I noticed a familiar figure at the site of my abduction. He was tall, with longish black hair, and green eyes, which were covered by sunglasses. "Lemur…" I growled as he turned to face Ed and I.
"Ah! Emily, my dear! You're right on schedule!" I turned red, not out of embarrassment, but out of anger.
"You bastard!" I shouted, running towards him, ignoring Ed when he told me to stop. I sent my fist towards his face, and when he caught it, I swung at him with my other hand. Unfortunately, he caught that one, too.
"Aww…If I didn't know any better, I'd think you weren't happy to see me, darling!" He pouted sarcastically. He was still holding onto both of my wrists, when he looked down at them. He released my left hand, and pulled out this container with a weird purple gel-like stuff, rubbing it on my right wrist, making me wince, since that was my injured wrist. When he was done, he squeezed my right wrist, and to my surprise, it didn't hurt.
When he grabbed both of my wrists again, I looked up at him. "See? I'm not here to fight. Now be a good girl, and let me transport you and Mr. Elric back to Central." He said, calmly letting go of my wrists. I quickly stepped over to Ed, examining my wrist. Lemur let out a sigh and waved his hand. I heard the loud, thunder-like sound and soon after, the black mist swirled around us. I grabbed onto Ed and closed my eyes, and he did the same.
When all was silent, we opened our eyes, and saw that we were back in the Nature Park from yesterday.
"Brother! Emily!" A voice gasped. We turned around and saw that it was Al. He must've waited for us… Al stood up and the three of us walked back to the hotel.
I told Ed that I wanted to speak with Hawkeye, which got me some questions from the two boys, but eventually they agreed to take me in the morning.
Morning came, and I was ready to go. After much complaining, Ed finally got around, and we made our way towards HQ.
As we were walking through the halls, we passed Havoc. When he saw me, he smiled and waved. I awkwardly smiled and waved back to him.
When we reached Mustang's office, Ed went in first and I followed. Breda, Falman, and Fuery, eyed me curiously, which made me a bit uncomfortable. Suddenly, Mustang's voice startled me, "Ah, if it isn't Miss Nelson! What a nice surprise!" he greeted me, with a grin on his face.
"Uh…yeah, I have a question for Lieutenant Hawkeye…" I stated nervously.
Hawkeye looked surprised, then calm, again. "Yes, Miss Nelson?" she asked.
So many people are calling me Miss Nelson… It feels nice! I thought to myself. Clearing my throat, I got straight to the point;
"I'd like to borrow one of your guns."
Yaaaaaaay~ I'm finally done typing this! My back hurts. Lol SO, since I've been watching Hetalia, I made my friend watch it. I told her that she reminded me of England, and she said I reminded her of Germany. So then I was thinking, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool to learn german?" So I am! I'm learning german, you guys… be proud of me. From now on, in the Author's note, I'm going to say Ja, instead of yes, and Nein, instead of no! :D Hope you guys liked this chapter, AND DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW! Love you, guys!
