Royai 100

Theme 14 – Covered Eyes

A/N: I originally had a different thought for this, but I didn't like it half as much as this. Thanks to RenyaXXI and Tigrette-of-Fire for reviewing! Special thanks to the magic beta unicorn IvyShort! ^^ Love you guys (totally not creepy)!

Riza Hawkeye struggled against the arms holding her back.

"Stop! You'll get caught up in the transmutation!"

She paid no attention to the young girl standing next to her, still struggling fruitlessly against the burly chimera keeping her rooted to the spot.

"Colonel! COLONEL!"

Her arm was stretched out in front of her as she attempted to reach her colonel. Her legs pounded against the sturdy floor, but served no purpose other than to make noise.

"Stay back!"

There was the young girl's voice again, telling her to stop when all she wanted to do was run and cradle her colonel in her arms. She wasn't going to lose him.

"COLONEL!"

She needed him like she needed air, desperately, wildly, unconditionally, crazily. If she thought about it, probably irrationally.

"You can go now, Wrath. He is secured."

She couldn't live without him, she refused to live her life alone. Living without him would be like living with covered eyes, blinded by pain, without a light to guide her forward.

"COLONEL!"

He was gone.

She averted her eyes.

A/N: WHOO! ANGST! Not great, but I don't hate it, either. Review, please.
