Ch.14

Royce woke to the loud ringing of the phone in their room and he answered. 'Hello?' 'Royce, you two need to head home now.' 'Ok, we're on our way.' He hung up and walked over to Amaya's bed and shook here awake. 'Eh…what?' 'Get up, we have to go home.' Amaya got up. '…Why?' 'Not sure but uncle Ed sounded like it was important.' '…Oh…' Royce had already dressed in his clothes and was now waiting on his cousin to change. Amaya got changed real quick. They leave their room and Royce pays for their stay then they head back to the train station. He gets two tickets back to central and they board the train. Amaya stretched out on one of the seats. Royce sat on the other and leaned his head on the window. 'Wonder why he wanted us to come home?' '..Dunno…seems kinda random.' 'Yeah, I hope uncle Ed has an explanation for this.' 'Yeah…' The train gets them back to Central and they were met with Rain outside the station. Amaya got off the train and went over to Rain. Royce also walked over to his mom. '..So…why were we called back?' 'Your father has something to tell you Amaya.' '…Oh…' Royce could sense something was wrong but kept silent as they walked back to Central. When they got back to HQ, Rain lead them into Ed's office then took a seat on the windowsill. Amaya sat on the couch. Royce leaned against the wall and looked at the door. Ed and Azure entered and Royce watched the two, still having the nagging voice at the back of his mind that something was wrong. Amaya looked up at them. 'Amaya, we have something to tell you.' '…What?' Ed sighed. 'I'm not your real father.' Amaya just stared at him. 'Your mother was raped and your not my child but Azure and that man.' '…Who is my real dad then?' Amaya asked quietly. 'Emo boy.' Rain said. '…Oh…' 'It wasn't suppose to happen that way. He saw Azure and vanished before I could kill him, good thing I can follow trails. By the time we got there, your mom was in a corner, which pissed me off and torn me apart that I began killing him until the two got out.' Rain said. 'Damn asshole.' She muttered. Amaya went quiet and stared at the floor. Royce moved from the wall and knelt in front of his cousin. Amaya looked at him. He opened his arms to allow her a hug. Amaya hugged him. He felt her beginning to shake and he whispers soothing words into her ear. Ed watched as his nephew comforted Amaya. Rain left the office, heading back to hers, muttering threats to Emo boy. Amaya walked out of the office and went to find Emo and killed him. '…' 'Well she's killed him.' Royce muttered. 'Heh.' 'She is your daughter.' Ed said. 'So what now?' Royce asked. 'I don't know.' 'You two will continue your mission.' 'Damn.' 'Bleh.' Royce left HQ and sat on the roof. Amaya just wandered around the halls. So what now? Dunno. I meant uncle Ed not being your father. Oh…I don't know. Well just continue calling him dad, I mean he's always been there for you. Yeah. And he practically raised you as his own. Yeah he did. So keep Ed as your father and screw the other guy. Yeah. You ok? Im fine. Ok. He yawned. Do you really want to go back to Xing? Not really, it was boring and Ling wasn't Greed. Well, where would you like to go? Dunno. Well let me know and I'll purchase our tickets. …Kay. Im not going to let you go alone. Ffffft. Why not? You're my cousin, you're my responsibility and if you get hurt, im gonna get my ass chewed out. Amaya rolled her eyes. It's true. Meh. 'Sides, we've always stuck together. Yeah. And you're the best fighting partner I've ever had. Heh, even though I beat you? He laughs. Yes, even though you beat me. Amaya laughed. See unlike my dad, you actually fight till the end. What, does he give up halfway or something? Yes. …Wimp. I've told him that. Amaya laughed. Then there's my mom. What about her? She's hard to beat. Really? Oh yeah, I've yet to beat her. Heh. She's harder to beat then teacher. …I should try fighting her one day. Who, mom or teacher? Your mom. Good luck fighting her. Heh. She's not called the Fullmetal Alchemist for nothing. …I thought that was dad's other name? It is but mom was in the military before your dad was and so she was called Fullmetal and since your dad got his arm back, he's no longer Fullmetal, mom still is. Oh. Yeah she was pretty young to enter the military and I'm the third youngest. Ah. Yeah, its weird having your dad ask you why you want to become a state alchemist. I would think so. It took me a minute to answer. Heh. I was nervous. …Of what? Of being rejected plus I didn't know what to say. Oh. I bet uncle Ed was like that too. He might have been. I don't blame him. He stood and stretched. Amaya went to the break room to get coffee. Your going for a sugar high aren't you? Maybe. Damn. What? You do not need to go on a sugar high. Why not? You literally scare everyone. Exactly. So you want to scare everyone? Would you rather me do something else that would scare people more? Like what? Do work. Wouldn't surprise me. Fffft. What? Nothing. Whatever. Amaya drank three cups of coffee. Hell have mercy on us. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee. Oh shit. Amaya ran around HQ. Rain shook her head when Amaya ran by. 'DON'T JUDGE ME.' 'WTF?' 'I DUNNO.' 'You are defiantly Azure's daughter.' Amaya just grinned then went back to get more coffee. Except there was no more. 'D:, Where did it all go?' 'You drank it all.' '…oooooohhhhhhhh yeeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhh.' 'My cousin's a retard.' Royce said from the window. 'AM NOT.' 'No your right, your just a hyper retard.' '…What of it?' 'Just go scare people.' He said, climbing back up to the roof. 'Kaaaayyyy.' Amaya skipped around HQ. Ed laughed when she past by. '…Ze hell youz laughin at?' 'My hyper active daughter.' 'FFFFT im not hyper, the hell you talking about?' 'You are just like your mother.' Amaya just evilly laugh. Roy, who is in his office, shook his head when she laughed. Amaya started skipping around again. 'She is boss's kid.' Havoc said. 'OMGZ FIRE' Amaya randomly stole Havoc's lighter. 'Amaya, give him the lighter.' Ed said. '…But…it has fire..' Amaya flicked the lighter on and off. Havoc snatched his lighter and locked in his desk. 'Nuuuuuu teh fireeeee.' 'Go bug your uncle for fire.' 'WILL DO.' Amaya ran off toward Roy's office. Havoc and the others shook their heads. 'Heeeeey uuuunncccccccllllllee rroooooyy' 'What?' 'Can I have fire?' 'You mean my gloves?' 'Yes.' 'No.' 'Why noooott?' 'Your cousin has all my gloves.' 'Fffft.' 'Sorry.' '..Meh.' Amaya left the office and went skipping around HQ. 'So did you get Roy's gloves?' Havoc asked her. 'No.' 'He didn't have them?' 'Said that Royce had them all.' 'That's right because Royce is the other flame alchemist.' 'Eeeehhhh I want fire.' 'Go annoy Royce for fire.' 'HEY YOU GIMMEH FIRE.' 'Why?' He asked his cousin. 'Cause I want fire.' Royce sighed, pulled out his glove, and snapped his fingers, setting the building, which was empty, on fire. 'YAAAYYYYYYYYYYY.' 'Now go annoy someone else.' '…Like who?' 'I don't care.' 'Kaaayyy.' Amaya skipped off somewhere. 'Strange kid.' Amaya found Black Hayate and picked him up then started running around with him. 'She's is strange.' 'DUN JUDGE MEH' 'SHUT UP AMAYA.' Royce shouted. 'Nu.' 'Do it.' 'No.' 'Then stop shouting.' 'Im not.' 'Nut brain.' 'You're a nut brain.' 'You're a retarded nut brain.' 'Your faceeeeeeee.' 'Kids, shut the hell up.' Roy shouted. 'NO YOU.' 'Amaya, don't back talk the Fuhrer.' Royce warned her. 'Ffffft.' 'Don't say I didn't warn you.' Amaya just shrugged. Royce snapped his fingers again to keep the building on fire. 'Ooooohh fffiiirrreee.' 'That will keep her entertained.' Amaya took a random stick, lit the tip on fire, and threw it at Royce face. He ducked when the stick came at him. 'NOT FAIR.' 'It is fair.' 'Mehehehehehehehehehe.' 'Oh shut up.' 'NU.' 'Don't take a stick and throw it at my face.' 'Buuut it's fuuunnn.' Amaya took another stick, set it on fire, and threw it at Roy. He ducked out of the way. 'Dammit stop ducking.' 'Hell no.' 'Whyyy?' 'Your trying to kill me.' 'Nooo I'm nooottt.' Amaya shifted her eyes from left to right. 'Right.' '…Can I kill you? :D' 'Hell no.' 'Aww why nooot?' 'I will kill you right back.' '…Liar.' 'Am not.' 'Ffffftttt.' 'Same to you.' '…Bleh.' Royce rolls his eyes. Amaya darted off randomly. 'At least she's not throwing sticks at me.' Amaya came back chugging an energy drink. 'Aw shit.' 'Wheeeeeeeee.' Amaya ran around. 'NO MORE SUGAR FOR YOU!' 'YESH ALL YOUR SUGAR BELONGS TO ME!' 'HELL NO' 'YESH.' Amaya ran around HQ, grabbing all the candy. Except for Royce, Roy, and Rain because theirs was locked up. '…I wanna be a mongoose. Can I be a mongoose dog?' Amaya asked randomly after eating all the candy. Royce just shoved her into an closet and locked the door with alchemy. 'LEMME OUT.' 'NOT UNTIL YOU CALM DOWN.' 'EEEHHHH LEME OUT.' 'NO' 'YES.' 'WHEN YOU CALM DOWN THEN I WILL' Amaya tried headbutting the door. 'Not going to happen.' 'Lemme out you buttmunch.' 'No.' Amaya kicked the door. 'Buuuuttttmmuuunnnccchhh.' 'Don't care.' Amaya went quiet. Royce walked away from the door, it still being locked with alchemy. Amaya punched the door. 'I'm not letting you out.' 'Asshole, let me out.' 'The answer is still no.' Amaya mumbled and sat down against the wall in the closet. Royce let out a sigh and sat against the door, eating an apple. Amaya stayed silent.

WILL ROYCE LET HER OUT OF THE CLOSET?

Amaya: He better let me out…

Royce: Or what?

Amaya: ….

Royce: Thought so

Azure: …You locked her in the closer because?…

Royce: Her hyperness

Azure: …You do know there is a way to calm her down right

Royce: There is?

Azure: Yes

Royce: How?

Azure: Give her water

Royce: Of course

Azure: Im serious, if you give me or her, when we are hyper, we calm down instantly

Rain: Or we die

Azure: xD

Royce: What do you mean?

Azure: Nothing~

Rain: She tried to kill me once

Azure: Cause I hate water

Rain: It was the only way to wake you up

Azure: Fffft

Rain: :D
