Ohayou gozaimasu!

Or more like.. good afternoon. At least where I live!
Again, thanks for the reviews! They really motivate me a lot. And I'm also glad that I don't seem to make many mistakes, even though my native language isn't English. I try really hard!

Disclaimer: I don't own FMA because if I did Bradley wouldn't have died smiling. I really hate him, heh. I do own the OC's (like Ciela) though.

Chapter 4: Lonely Person

Three days later I was finally free to leave the hospital. I remained alone, no one had visited me ever since the first day I got there. It made me sad, but it wasn't like I expected anything else. No one ever cared about me. I've always been a loner. A friendless loser. A lonely person.
When I left the building I immediately stopped walking and wondered what to do. Roy had ordered the Elric brothers to keep me with them until he had figured out what to do with me. But Ed didn't seem to happy with that order, so maybe he chose not to do it?

Someone jolted me out of my thoughts by calling my name. "Ciela"

I looked up to find Al and approaching me from across the road. Al was waving, he seemed to be in a good mood. Ed was as annoyed as ever.

"Ohayou!" Al greeted.

I forced myself to smile at him. "Ohayou gozaimasu, Al-chan." Then I faced Ed. "Ohayou, pipsqueak."

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SHORT YOU MISTAKE HIM FOR A TODDLER?!"

I patted his head. "Calm down, little monster."

Ed was about to freak out again when Al interrupted us. "Don't you have any luggage?"

I shook my head. "You were the ones that brought me to the hospital after all."

"You didn't have anything with you." Ed pointed out. "So where have you been staying so you can go pick some things up?"

Al sensed that something was off. "How about we go and get some breakfast first?" he offered.

"Oh god, yes please!" I begged. "I'm starving. Hospital food sucks."

"It sure does." Ed agreed. He seemed to have calmed down.

And off we went to a small bakery to have some breakfast.

"So where are you really from?" Ed wanted to know, stuffing his mouth with bread and fried eggs.

"What do you mean?" I asked innocently, my mouth full of sweet bread I've never tasted before.

"Well it's obvious you're hiding something." Al explained. "You act weird."

"I do?" I muttered, my mouth still full. "Last time I checked you were the one asking to get breakfast yet you're the only one not eating a thing. Also, who in the world wears an armor all day, every day?"

Of course I knew he was nothing but a soul bound to an armor by a bloody transmutation circle.

Al laughed nervously. "Gomenne, I already ate. I thought you guys were hungry and I wanted you to stop fighting."

I nodded. "Fine, fine. But how does that explain the armor? I'm not the only suspicious person here."

Ed interrupted us by sighing. "Wow, I'm stuffed. That was delicious. Thanks for the food! Ciela, you didn't answer my question."

Ugh. I sighed. "I already told you everything yesterday. I'm from a country far far away from here that you guys have never even heard of."

"Fine, girl from a country that's far, far away." Ed said, suddenly businesslike. "Then how come you don't have anything with you? Normally when you travel you would carry a lot of things around, wouldn't you?"

Fucking annoying clever 15 year old pipsqueak. But.. should I tell them the truth? Not like they would believe it. But I had nothing to lose, right? Worst thing to happen was that they'd tell everyone I was insane and lock me away. But maybe then I'd meet my number one favorite character.. Decisions, decisions. Fine, lets go for it. If it doesn't work out I could still say that I was kidding all along.

"I'm not from this world." I said, slowly, watching every movement of their faces. Well, of Ed's face.

"Huh?" Ed made. "What do you mean?"

Al was just staring at me.

"I mean what I said. I'm not from this world."

Ed started laughing. "Yeah right. Now tell us the truth."

Grr. This goddamn child! I was telling the truth.. The truth..
"That's what I did, Edo-chan." I smiled at him. "Wanna know who brought me here? The Truth."

His eyes widened and Al made a sound. "You saw the Truth?!"

I nodded. "Yes. I wanted to die, met the truth, made a wish and here I am."

"Wait." Ed held his hands up, thinking. "We're speaking of the Truth here. You know.. the Truth." He waved his arms.

"I know what you mean. The Truth is weird, isn't it?" I laughed a bit, remembering the gif I had on my computer where they explained how weird the Truth was, waving their arms. "Believe me now?"

"Well.." Ed still wasn't convinced. "I believe that you saw the Truth.. But.. why? Or rather.. how?"

I shook my head. "Don't ask me, no idea. I didn't even know the Truth existed for real, but apparently it does. It granted me my wish and here I am."

"What wish?" Al asked.

"Didn't you have to pay?" Ed looked at me in confusion, looking for missing limbs.

I breathed at him and he shuddered. "Cold."

I waited.. and waited, until he suddenly jumped up. "The Truth took your warmth?!"

"Bingo! Well that's what I think, I mean what else could it be?"

That was when I made a decision that would lead to a lot of pain later on. If I could go back, I would. It was a decisions I would regret a lot.

I decided to tell them that I knew more than I should. I read many fanfictions where the characters that ended up in Amestris kept it a secret, at least in the beginning. But I had nothing to lose.

"The world I come from is kind of.. in the future." I said to make it easier for them to understand. To explain that they were parts of a famous manga/anime series was too difficult.

"What do you mean?" Al asked.

I sighed. "How do I put that.. Where I live we know everything about you." I hoped it wouldn't freak them out too much.

Ed laughed. "As if. Maybe you've just heard of an alchemist, but definitely not of us. Why would people from a different world know us anyway?"

How many times did I sigh since I met them? I pointed at Al. "Your armor is empty. You're nothing but a soul." I watched their eyes (I just imagined Al's eyes here) grow bigger and bigger. "Ed, you lost your arm when you saved your brother's soul."

"How did you-" Ed exclaimed.

"You knew all along?" Al asked, shocked.

I nodded. "I know your past and.. guessing that me joining you guys doesn't change too much, your future. I know everything about nearly everyone here." I smiled.

The next two hours they spent asking a billion questions but I didn't tell them anything else. But at least they believed me now.

We left the bakery and made our way to the hotel where Ed and Al where staying. They had two bed's in their room and with me knowing their secrets I could easily use one of the beds. Al didn't sleep after all.

"Ciela? May I ask you something?" Al asked hesitantly.

"Sure thing, young grasshopper."

"Young.. what? Nevermind. You said you wanted to die and then made a wish?"

I nodded. "Mhm. I wasn't a happy person in my world. Hah, I still aren't."

"So what was your wish?" Al wanted to know. Ed didn't say anything, but I knew he was listening.

"Kill me, or give me a reason to stay alive. That's what I asked for. And then I woke up in Amestris, how ironic." I laughed sadly.

My answer made Al stay silent for a while. He probably didn't know how to deal with a suicidal teenager. Ugh.. I was freezing. Losing my warmth wasn't that awesome. I mean sure I was glad I didn't lose any legs or arms but my warmth? I shuddered.

"Are you cold?" Al asked.

I nodded. "I feel like I'm freezing to death. Hey, if it were to rain, do you think it would snow around me?"

That caused all of us to laugh.

Ed took his red coat off to put it around me. I looked "up", since he was a bit shorter than I was. "Huh?"

"Mustang would kill me if you were to freeze to death." he murmured. I smiled a bit. I mean come on I was wearing Ed's red coat? He wasn't one of my favorite characters, he was too much of a child, but he was quite adorable.

"Mhm. Arigatou, pipsqueak!"

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SHORTER THAN PIPPY MCPIPSQUEAK?!"

"Is that even a person?" I laughed a little. My laugh still sounded a bit wrong. Was it really okay to let myself feel a bit better? Did I deserve to?

10 minutes later we arrived at the hotel and I let myself fall unto my bed. "Sooo tired!" I stated.

"You're been in bed for the past 3 days and you're tired again? You're unbelievable."

I yawned. "So what? Leaving your world is quite exhausting, you know? And being cold all the times makes me tired, too."

I closed my eyes to show them how tired I really was. They just sighed and let me be. I fell asleep before I knew it. I really really should have stayed awake though, because the nightmare I had changed my way of thinking completely.

Ahhhh. What might she dream of? A funeral! That's all you get for now. :P

She'll dream of a funeral. And no, not her own.

Also, do you guys know the gif/scene I mentioned? About the Truth? In Brotherhood, Al didn't remember the Truth at first and he asked Izumi & Ed what it was like and they said it was weird and moved their arms like ~~ that. IDK how to explain oh god.

AAAANYWAY. How did you like it? How did I do? Or did you fall asleep halfway through the chapter? Let me know and review! :)
