Fullmetal Alchemist - Alchemistic Twilight
Chapter 6
Pain
I thought about Winry, she made me do things i'd never do, she made me forget what it was like to not be angry all the time..she made me not think about my mother. I took a slice of cold pizza and took a bite out of it, Suddenly my arm down to my hand starts to shaking, i dropped my pizza and held my arm to my chest, closing my eyes. The pain was starting, i felt a great flame run down my spine, i fell to my knees on the day old clean tile. "It's starting" the velvet like voice came to me, I looked up at her, staring deep into her eyes. "Yeah", She helped me up and we walked to the bed room, just i got to the bedroom, my knees felt a great pressure, Winry lose grip and i hit the ground, The fire returned, my body started to have mulitple seizures. I got several glimpse of Winry's face as i faded to blackness. "How far in is he?" the voice of a older man came then i blacked out.
3 Days Later
Just a slight headache, I was awake with closed eyes. I opened them "He's awake" It was Winry, I saw a older man, late 30's. "Edward, My name is Shou Tucker, You've been out for 3 whole days, how are you feeling?" I sat up, the headache got greater "Just a headache"
"It'll go away in time, Winry told me all about you, I understand you ran into Greed" His voice was silent, almost like a whisper
"Yeah, He bite my wrist" Shou was sitting next to me, with a book in hand "Sounds like you felt something pretty awful" i let out a sigh and turned my head away "It's no big deal" "You were crying out for you mother the whole time you were asleep and you..kept saying you were sorry" My eyes widen, my mother was back in my thoughts "I had my suspections about you when i saw your arm and leg, Now i'm sure you did a...." "Stop!" i looked at Shou, The room was quiet "What happend to my body is of no concern to this matter"
"Your right, I apologize"
"It's okay, Where am i?" "My house, Winry was holding my head, that's where i felt the coldness from "How do you feeling?"
There was that question again, i looked at him "I'm actually, I feel great" "It's over than, I suggest you get dress, school's in an hour and i had to lie to them, saying you were sick..If they ask you had the flu" I nod, he spoke to me like a father, a tone i wasn't use to hearing, Winry hands me some of Roy's clothing when he was 13, i sigh. "It's the closet thing to your size"
I grabbed them, a white top and black pants, i would like a waiter, I stood from my bed and walked to the bathroom, i closed the door behind me and switch the light on, i looked at the mirror and there i was, Skin a pale white, i looked at my wrist and the wound was gone. I was a Homunculi and it all happened so fast. I smiled, not yet sure what to think of this. I get dressed and comb my hair while looking at myself in the mirror, i put the comb down and like what i see, I clap, ready for the days ahead of me, i reach and touch the doorknob to exit and the doorknob turns into knife. I stare at it, what just happened i ask myself, suddenly from the other side. "Ed, your going to be late", Mr. Tucker yelled, i opened the door, ignoring what just happened. I exited the bedroom to see a large, mansion like living room that connected to a large kitchen. I saw her, a little girl, brown hair and blue eyes, she wore a pink shirt and over it a shirt that turned into a dress, a large dog looked up at her while she ate a cookie. She looked at me and smiled, she had to be 4 or 5. Shou walks up "That's my daughter, Nina. She's the reason i keep breathing"
"She looks like yo.." i said
"Her mother" He interupted
"Her mother went away, far away"
"Where to?" I asked
"Enough question, you need to learn" I nod and ran off, toward Winry waiting for me, holding a door open that lead inside the garage. "Oh and Edward!"
I turned around "Welcome to the Family" I smiled and nod, not yet thought of what to think about that. I walked into the garage with Winry, there at the Silver Volvo stood Roy, Jean and Sheska" Sheska ran up to me and gave me a hug "Sheska!" Winry hissed "It's okay, we're going to be great friends"
"What makes you think that?" I asked "Your smile, It's beautiful" She smiled and walked off, holding Jean's hand, showing they were a couple. Roy looked over "Edward huh?" I nod "How old are you?" "I'm 17" He smirked, "You look 14" My face turned red, i made a fist, i was going to stomp his face in with my foot but the garage door open, breaking my focus on him, Winry and I walked and entered the Silver Volvo, there was enough space for all of us "Winry?" Jean asked
"Yes?" "Where's your car?" "I left it at Edward's house, just up the road" He just nod, Roy took off, the speed he went was ridiously but i wanted to say something but i didn't. It felt like time fast forward, we were at school within minutes.
The kids roamed the parking lot, School hasn't started yet. Everyone stepped out of the car, the kids glimpsed at them then i got out, i could hear gasps all around. I saw Riza, Alphonse and Rose look at me, trying to put together what was going on "Hey guys!" I waved at them, giving them a smile. They akwardly waved, Winry looked at me. "You can go hang with them if you want" I looked at Winry "I'd like to meet them" I smiled and i walked over to them, I whispered "It's going to be akward" She smiled, Me and Winry walked up to them as they sat around a large blue van. "Guys, this is Winry Rockbell" She gave a short wave "So are you guys like a.." Alphonse started to ask. "Couple?" Winry beat him to the punch. "Yes, We're together" I didn't understand what was going on "You guys don't mind if i borrow him do you?" they all shrugged their heads, they didn't mind, We walked off "So we're a couple?" She smiled "I wanted you to feel alot more akward" I chuckled "Okay.."
