Top Note: :D I got so many reviews so I wanted to give it to you today. Thanks guys! You're the best! Here's my thank you!
I glared at the floor, knowing what Auntie Amber was trying to do. She tried whenever she saw fit. It kind of scared me a little knowing that I would slowly turn into one of Auntie Amber's kind. But of course, being stubborn, I won't let that happen. I looked up with a half smile plastered on my face as I let go of Edward's hand.
"So, what brings you two here?" I asked. Auntie Amber's eyes widened which made me eternally smirk. Take that.
"Well, the Colonel asked us to come for a meeting," Al responded. I blinked my eyes, ignoring the growing pain in my chest.
"Why would Mustang ask you two for a meeting?" I asked.
"Because he's the Fullmetal Alchemist," Mustang said not looking up from his paperwork.
My eyes widened as I darted my gaze back to the Elrics'. Elric. Oh yeah! So that's why the name was so familiar! I ran up to Alphonse shaking his hand up and down rapidly. "So you're the famous Fullmetal Alchemist! No wonder! I was wonderin' why they named you that! It's because you were that armor right? I heard a lot about you!" I said excitingly. It felt like I was meeting a celebrity!
Al sweat dropped as he rubbed the back of his head with his free hand. "Um…I'm not the Fullmetal Alchemist."
I rose an eyebrow. "Huh?"
"Edward is the Fullmetal Alchemist. I'm his younger brother," Alphonse explained.
I shifted my gaze back to the blond boy who had anger marks surrounding him. He began to flail his arms around with that scowl of his growing. "HE'S NOT THE FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST! IT'S ME! I'M THE FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST!" he shouted.
I blinked my eyes out of confusion. "But your so s-" Al put a hand on my shoulder stopping my sentence.
"Uh…it's best if you don't say the 's' word around him…" Al said sheepishly.
"'S' word?" I asked. I cupped my chin in thought.
Mustang cleared his throat making us all turn our heads to him. "Shall we continue our meeting?"
"Don't you mean start?" Auntie Amber asked. She opened the door as she looked back at us, particularly me. "I will go now. But if you ever need me," she paused sending me a glance at Ed. I turned to the side annoyed. "You know where to find me Seiren."
And with that, she left. Leaving me with…with…that scent again.
I growled as she left. She wants me to bite someone. And soon. I sighed, as I quickly walked towards the door trying to get away from Edward as fast as possible.
"Ah, ah, ah!" Mustang said stopping me. I turned around slowly with a pleading look in my eyes. He obviously took notice of it because he quickly looked down and then gestured me to sit down. I sighed as I took the far seat in the office, the one farthest from Edward.
"Why do you need me?" I asked finally.
"This is part of that promise you made me," He said. I groaned. He disregarded it as he turned to the Elrics'. "Now, Fullmetal. Did you find anything out yet?"
Ed growled as he crossed his hands behind his head and looked to the side. "Nope. Another dead end…" he mumbled.
I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. Dead end?
"Well, then. How about you look into this?" Mustang said and then threw something in Ed's lap. Ed picked up as he skimmed through it. He furrowed his eyebrows as he gazed at Mustang again with annoyance.
"What's this?" he asked slowly.
"Your new assignment," Mustang said.
"Don't you think this is a rather big job for just the two of us?" Ed asked.
Mustang smirked. My eyes went wide as I glared back at him. "That's why the three of you are going."
"Three?" We all asked in unison, different tones in our voices of course. Ed and Al's in confusion and mine in annoyance.
"Yes, three," Mustang said smirking. I scowled.
"This is what you got me into?" I asked irritated. Edward sighed and I darted my head back to him startled.
"You conned her into doing your dirty work eh? Well, that's a new low," Edward said much to my surprise. He sounds so hateful when talking to him. Why doe he not like Mustang?
Mustang chuckled. "It's not really a surprise for her. She should have found out sooner. I was even surprised, usually she catches me before she falls into the trap," Mustang said glancing at me. I rolled my eyes as I crossed my arms over my chest.
"Well, when you put Black Hayate on me, what's a girl supposed to do?" I muttered. Obviously, no one heard me because they completely ignored me and continued their conversation.
"So what's next?" Al asked.
"You two got to take Seiren over there with you. I assigned her to you for an extra hand. Believe it or not, her senses seem to be very high…" Mustang said smirking. I growled at him for saying that sentence.
"What do you take me for?" I asked annoyed.
"No. She's not coming with us," Ed said firmly.
I fell. They ignored me! Again!
"She's coming with you. That's an-"
"DON'T. SAY. THAT. WORD." I shouted enraged. Apparently, they finally noticed me because they all turned to me wide eyed. I growled as I put a hand on my chest. "I'll go with them! You don't need to do that. I'll tag along, okay!" I yelled.
"No, you're not coming with us. You'll just slow us down," Edward said staring at me with hard eyes. I furrowed my eyebrows in frustration as I put both of my hands on my hips.
"You rather him force you to? It's best if you just accept the fact that he's going to make me come with you," I retaliated. He glared at me. "You know it's true," I added.
Ed was taken back a bit as I said the last sentence. He stared at me a while not backing down. I simply stared back not letting him make me give in. My heart rate started going faster as it shot pain throughout my body. My eye twitched as I winced in pain. I have to get out of this room and that's to end this meeting. No way he's going to make me stay in here jus because he's hard headed. Ed's eyes softened as he looked off to the side and crossed his arms over his chest.
"Fine…you can come…" he muttered. I sighed with relief. That was finally over.
"Well, that's settled quite nicely," Mustang said smirking. "That was nice of you Seiren."
"Yeah, yeah…" I muttered. I just wanted to get out of here.
Al sweat dropped. "H-How about we get ready to leave brother," Al said.
I blinked my eyes out of confusion. "Leave? So soon?" I asked. Inside I burst with happiness. Nothing against them, but…it's…complicated.
"Yeah, we gotta get packing for the ride to Central, it's pretty far from Eastern HQ," Ed said sticking his hands in his pockets.
My eyes lit up. "So when are you coming back?" I asked inching my way up to the door.
"You mean when are we getting back right?" Al asked.
I blinked my eyes. "We?" I repeated.
"Yeah, we," Ed repeated again smirking at me. "With that speech of yours you just went five feet deeper in this situation," he said. My jaw dropped. "We're leaving early in two days. Pack up or we're dragging you over there, ready or not."
"B-But-"
"No buts," Ed said. My eye twitched with annoyance.
Al saw my face and then reassured me by offering me a kind wave of the hand. "It won't be as bad as you think Seiren," Al said. "I promise that this will be done as quick as possible and you can come back to Eastern City once this is over with. It's won't be long, I promise."
I sighed as I dropped my head. At least it's in two days…
But in the meanwhile…
My eyes lit up and I pounded my palm with my fist. "Oh, now I know," I said.
"What?" Al asked.
"The 's' word," I said.
"No-! Wait! Seiren-"
"You mean short right?" I asked innocently.
"WHO YOU CALLING SO SHORT THAT YOU NEED A MICROSCOPE TO SEE?"
BN: The end was soooo awesome to write. Oh! And to clear up ANY suspicion, there is NO possible way, no way in HELL, that this will be like Twilight.
Nothing against all Twilight fans, I COMPLETELY am fine with that, nothing agianst you but, in my opinion, they ripped off all the good things of vampires. Once again, I am completely fine if you are a Twilight fan, I respect that me being a Twilight watcher (shocking? yes it is even for me but not a fangirl. Team Edward ELRIC please!), but I must say. It ripped off vampires so:
1) NO WAY IN HELL, would the vampires sparkle in here.
2) Even though it might be cool, these vampires all have the basic abilities, no 'individual' power.
3) This fanfic is based on my knowledge on vampires at that only. But I will accept any ideas from you readers. I am open to that.
Okay, now that's outta my system...
Until next chap! =:D
