Fullmetal Alchemist - Alchemistic Twilight

Chapter 5

Sometime Around Midnight

Winry had pulled up into the parking lot of the school, the white bricked school, grassy lawn with your normal paints of children happy on the way but it looks like a 10 year old drew them, i glance back at Winry, she's staring at her stringing wheel, looks at me, a serious in her eyes. "You don't have to tell me anything if you don't want to", Winry sighs turning the radio off, the music seemed like background music to a terrible black and white movie. "Homunculi are these beast that feed of human, Some eat the flesh, others drink the blood making their skin hard like a rock" She hinted at Greed "Others can transform into something else. It all started around 1923 when two brother tried to bring their mother back from the dead, Instead of coming back to life..she was turned into a Homunculi" She knew all this like it was printed on the back of her hand. "Your one also?" i randomly said. She took a second, i had interupted her, without taking her eyes off me, She gave a weak nod. I turned my focus on the gym, lights and music could be heard from afar. "Now I'm one?", i didn't take my focus on the gym. "Sorta, i process takes 3 days to fully become one" After she had said that, there was a silence that took place for like 5 minutes. "Your impossibly fast..and strong" She looked over at me, "Your skin is pale white" I looked at her "And you have blond hair.."

She looked at me confused, I sighed "We're gonna look at sisters?" She gave out a laugh, i broke the silence with a joke, she put her hand on my hand, her skin was colder than ice, I didn't remove my hand. I wanted to know what was to come. She removed her hand and reached in the back, pulling some toilet paper out, she hands me a roll. "Let the games begin" She gave out a smile, opening her door, i opened mine and ran out, following her. "Why am i doing this" I mumbed

"Think of it as process you must go through in order to become a full member"

"Is it to late to want to join another club?" She threw the toilet paper, it wrapped around the tree and she put her finger in the hold of the roll and ran around the tree, I threw the roll of toilet paper around the tree, grabbed the roll and ran around the yard. We snickered and laugh quietly, we didn't want to break the fun we were having. Suddenly the door opened, Alphonse stuck his head out, the music was loud now the door was open. Winry had grabbed me, Jumped onto the roof, Alphonse walked out, noticing the toilet paper. "The Toilet Bandits again, damn" He walked back, I looked at Winry, whispering "Toilet Bandits?..I take it this wasn't your only year you did this" Her beautiful blue eyes looked at me and she drew a smile "I do it at every dance formal for about 300 years now, she grabbed me and jumped down, running toward her pink Volvo. I stood their, jumping that high than jumping down made me alittle sick. I heard the door open, Alphonse walked out with Rose, a crowd followed, Alphonse eye brows raised. Winry was hidden in her car.

"Edward, did you do this?" Al asked, i thought about it "No..I was on my way here when i saw two kids doing this, i chased them around the school" My lie was unbelievable, good thing Alphonse wanted to be my friend so badly, he believed it. "What did they look like?" I smiled "White, Blond hair..didn't see a face, Listen i gotta go..YOU GUYS CAN GO BACK TO YOUR DANCING, REMEMBER PUNCH IS ON THE LEFT" i walked off, regreting the last line i said. I noticed the Pink Volvo was gone, I rubbed my face in stress. "I'm gonna kill her...in 3 days" two headlights flashed near the main road, she had parked aside of it, I ran over and got in. "Thanks for leaving me out there" She just laugh, enjoying it. "It's not funny" "It's alittle funny" "Take me home, please" "Okay" She drove off, The night had already stuck, I noticed the stars were brighter than ever, I looked over at her, she threw me a quick look. "When should i expect these great amount of pain?" "When you wake up tomorrow.." I was hoping for a later time "Any tips?" i asked, She was quiet, either she didn't want to tell me or she was thinking. "Yeah" She simply said

"Shower, A really cold shower" I smirked "The cold from the shower will take my focus off the pain" She smiled "Yeah, something like that" I focused on the road, getting closer to my house. "I have a question.." I looked at me from time to time "Shot"

"Why were you stalking me?" my face still curious after i said it, she smiled and looked at me

"Your eyes" she simply said

"My eyes?", "I can see who people truly are when i look at their eyes"

"And that gave you permission to stalk me?", My voice was at a curious, mad tone

"I guess not, I apologize for that but you were the only pair of eyes i couldn't see who you were. It's like i was just staring at you, my ability didn't let me see who you truly are and that struck me as odd" "Oh...Ability huh?" the only word important "All Homunculi are given a special ability, I can read eyes" "and your family?" "Jean Havoc can control people emotions, Sheska has the knownledge of a whole library and Roy, we he's was more physical than mental" "What can he do?" i asked, wondering if i would get one "With a snap of his finger, a burst of fire with ignite" "So his fingers are like match sticks?" "In a way, yeah" "So will i get one?" "Some do, alot don't but having one sucks at first but in time you'll get the hang of it"

"How long did it take you?" "Oh, 10 years" She quickly said as she pulled into my drive way "Well today was.." "Interesting" she finished, "I'll see you Sunday?" "Why?" "I'm gonna need someone to help me through this" "Fine, I'll be around" "When?" i asked, being a little demanding "Sometime around Midnight" I words took me off guard, I gave a nod "Homunculi don't sleep" I sighed "What's wrong", "I love sleeping"

"Well maybe you'll have the ability to sleep" She chuckled "It's not funny" "It's alittle funny" "Goodnight, I mean..well you know what i mean" I opened the door and she drove off, I watched as her car took off. "Sometime around Midnight?"
