Alex here. I'm reading a fic called Captured. It's a FMA fic in which Ed basically turns into a furry. YES! I've been taking strolls into Chimera Land lately, it's wonderful. I stayed up until 4 the other night reading fanfic... Well, actually I started feeling like I was gonna vomit so while I was sitting by the toilet I was reading fanfic... That counts, right? I know this chapter is short and pretty boring, sorry. I don't not own PJO or FMA.
Edward P.O.V.
I walked out the door and noticed I had forgotten my shoes, my coat, and my braid. I shrugged, not really caring, and walked to the Athena cabin. I knocked on the door and was about to open it, but someone else did. He stepped out the door. "What do you want?"
I nodded to the books. "These are Annabeth's, I'm just here to give them back."
He glanced at them. "Decided you didn't want to read them?"
"No, I finished them."
His eyes bugged out of his head. "No one can read that fast."
"I do. My arm is starting to hurt from all these books so could you just get her so I can give them back."
He turned around and asked someone something. He looked back to me after getting his answer. "She's not here, I think she's over at the mess hall. But-" I was already walking away.
I walked into the mess hall and saw only a handful of people there. She was sitting at a table all alone. I went over to the end of the table, where she was sitting, and put the books down in front of her. "Here you go, Annabeth."
She looked up at me. "Who are you?"
I stared at her. "Edward. The one who was in the wheelchair."
She looked at my left leg, the fake one. "Oh, sorry I didn't recognize you behind all that hair and out of that chair." She stared at my foot. "That doesn't look too real, does it."
I sighed. "It's a spare, I'm just wearing this one until my actual one is done."
She nodded. "That makes sense." She looked at the books. "Hey, I was just going back to my cabin. You get some of these books and come with me. I'll get you some more." She picked up half the stack and nodded to the other half. I got those books and followed her to her cabin. We walked in and I instantly noticed there were books everywhere. "Just set them here." I put them down.
I saw a book on Alchemy and flicked through it. Everything in it was incorrect. She glared at the book. "What do you have against this book?" I asked
She grabbed another book that was on alchemy. "I've been trying to wrap my head around this stuff but every book says something different. It's all incorrect."
I took her book and set mine down. I flicked through that one. "Well, your first problem is that this is a completely different kind of alchemy. This is on Alkahestry."
She stared at me. "And you know this because..."
"I'm an alchemist."
Her eyes lit up. "Can you teach me?"
I looked up at her face. "No, I'm a horrible teacher. Plus I need two arms for alchemy and probably wont have both for maybe another week or two. Oh, and all the material in these books are wrong."
One of the kids sitting behind her was eavesdropping on our conversation. "Can you turn led to gold?"
I waved the question off. "Any alchemist can do that, but it's illegal."
He glared at me. "I've never heard of that law."
"That's because you're not an alchemist."
Annabeth waved off the kid and stared at me. "Well, if you can't teach me, could you at least correct the books?"
I shrugged. "I guess so, I don't have anything else to do. I don't know Alkahestry though, you have to ask Al about that. Maybe go ask Sheska, she's not an alchemist, but she remember everything she reads word-for-word."
She walked around the room and picked up all her books on alchemy, in total she had 15. "Here are all the books I have on alchemy. You don't have to fix all of them. Thanks for doing this for me."
I took the books from her and began walking outside. "No problem."
One of the kids came after me, they were a girl about my age. "Thank you. She's been depressed ever since Percy went missing. She seems a lot happier now."
I kept walking, she walked with me. "Who's Percy?"
"Her boyfriend. The camp has kind of fallen apart since he disappeared. He held us all together, he was our leader. Anyway, why are you staying in the Hephaestus cabin? New campers are always put in the Hermes cabin."
"Well, Winry is my mechanic and she needs to use their tools and materials to make me my limbs. I can't wait till' she finishes my leg, this spare isn't good for much."
She grabbed half of the stack from me and carried it. "So, do you have any weapon training? You'll need it here."
I nodded. "I'll be fine. Besides, I'm not planning on staying here very long. Do you have a pen?" She felt around in her jacket pockets and handed me a pen. "Thanks." I walked into the Big House and to the infirmary.
"Where are you going?"
I sat down at the edge of Al's bed and set the books down on the table by his bed, she did too. "This is Alfonse, he's my little brother."
She just stared at him. "What's wrong with him, why is he in the infirmary?"
I shook my headand smiled. "Nothing's wrong, he's perfect."
Another chapter complete! I need to tell ya'll a story of my being a compete fangirl. On Friday (Yesterday for me.) I went to a recital that Tanu was in. There were a lot of dances, 3 hours worth. Some of them were done with gloves. One of the first with gloves, I noticed something, I thought "I wonder if someone had an automail arm, like Ed, if they would wear one of the gloves that go all the way up your arm." (They were all wearing sleeveless dresses.) Now you can see where this is going. Suddenly "Like Ed." Turned into "Ed." So in every dance after that, there was always one of them I picked out to be Ed, and I just imagined that. Ed. In a dress. Dancing. With a bunch of girls. Just think about that and appreciate it. Alex out.
