Royai 100 Themes
Theme 15 – The Scent of Blood
A/N: Posting as redemption for my latest ECH update. Sorry again, guys! Oh, and I should let you know that these themes shall be unbeta'd for the sake of posting on a semi-regular basis. I'll try to post one every two weeks at the worst. Sorry it's been so long since I've updated, but life's been a b*tch.

The scent of blood had followed Roy Mustang through Ishbal. It had plagued his dreams for years afterward, haunting his memories.
But it had never been this unbearable.
The dreams were awful, true, but he had always been able to push them away, keep the scent from bothering him, even if only for a short period of time.
He couldn't prevent the scent from bothering him now, not now that it surrounded his lieutenant, his Riza. He could only watch as that foul liquid spread around her like wine, smearing on the floor, spreading that horrible stench.
He could only hope that she wouldn't die here, surrounded by the scent of blood.
A/N: Thoughts? Reviews are always treasured.
