Chapter 2
Edward's P.O.V.
I heard my military name called by Hawkeye. I decided to go over the top and scare everyone in the surrounding area by using my alchemy to make a metal and rock box and tower over everything. I stop when I see her over the heads' of the fellow citizens.
"Here I am!" I hollered. I happened to notice a younger woman behind/beside her. 'Who is she?' I asked myself. I shrugged and manipulated my box to carry me over to them. I hopped down and landed in front of them. I took a good look at the woman beside Hawkeye and tried to withstand staring.
She was beautiful. Her hair was the color or raven feathers and cropped short to her head; her bangs sticking in front of her deep green eyes. She was built, but not as much as I. She was not much taller than me. I couldn't see all of her as she was half-hidden by Hawkeye.
"Yo, what's up?" I asked the Lt., tearing my eyes from the girl.
"Mustang wants you and Alphonse to meet someone," She answered and moved away from the girl.
I looked at her with curious eyes. "Hey there," I say with energy, trying not to seem so shy suddenly. "I'm Edward. You?" I ask. I at least want to know her name.
"Alice. Alice Cutridge. And that's all you need to know," she spoke sharply. She obviously didn't want to be here. I glanced down her body quickly to access her build and grew wide-eyed at her feet; she had no left leg, a clean cut at the mid-thigh. My thoughts were racing. 'Did she do what we did? Did she see the Gate of Truth under the same circumstances?' I could barely keep my thoughts in place when she barked at me suddenly.
"What the hell do you think you're staring at? I'm no freak of nature!"
I raised my hands defensively and said, "I'm sorry." I never meant to offend her by staring. That was the last thing on my mind.
"Keh!" she snipped. She turned sharply away from me and started 'walking away'. "Whatever," she threw over her shoulder.
"Alice! Where are you going?" Hawkeye called after her. She started walking after her before Alice turned back around.
"Back to my room," she snapped, "I need to pack a few things if I'm going to Resembool to see if I can get a new leg," she yelled. She was not in the best of moods apparently…
Lt. Hawkeye started after her, but Alice turned sharply around to face her.
"I need no assistance. Go away," she spat out to her face. I chuckled quietly at the thought of what would've happened if she had done that to the Colonel.
She glared at me. If looks could kill, I'd be 6 feet under right then and there.

Sorry for the short chapter ^.^' I've been wicked busy all week and this is the only chance I've gotten to really do anything.
I want people's opinions on Edward. Is he OOC? I can't really tell. The last thing I want is for anybody to be OOC
Thanks for reading :)
