A/N: I finally finished my art project. Well, almost. ^^'
020. Murderer.
They had both made the other a murderer in some sense. She felt a pain in her whenever people remember him as the man who had killed with flames. For she was the one who had provided him with the knowledge of flame alchemy. You might say, that, that's true, but the man didn't necessarily have to use it to kill. She knew that fact perfectly well, but as you know, he was already in the military when she had shown him the hidden family secret. They also both knew that there was a war brewing far off in the sunset, for the could hear the screams for her home. He told her that he was the one that wanted to change the screaming, into something better, such as children's laughter. Instead he ending up making more screams and people beg and pray, search for God to save them. He began the person that he had despised the most.
He had taught her how to shoot and load a gun. He had only showed her twice, but she was a fast learner. Of course, he didn't plan on her practicing every night until she was good enough to join the military. He had only taught her for the sole purpose of protection, for she would be all alone at night. He also hadn't planned on her following him. He had protested that she stay at home, for that way he could know she was safe. She was so strong-willed and he had sold her his dreams. She paid such an awful high price because she wanted to put as much faith she could in his one little glimmer for a brighter future. That way she wouldn't have to wake up to pleas and screams of horror.
A/N: I really don't like my art teacher. D
