AN: Well...here we are...again... Also, I'm stopping with the song title chapter names. It's hard finding songs in which it matches the chapter.
Chapter Six
::::::::::_||_::::::::::
I woke up with a strange sense of dread. Like I knew that something awful was gonna happen, and I was gonna have to see it through. Like I knew that despite how much I didn't want to see, I must.
I looked around to see if everything was alright.
'Something's not right...' I thought. My eyes moved back and forth trying to find what could have been the problem.
An eerie feeling came unto me. It was still dark.
'Dark. No signs of the sun out yet. Not even any signs of life.' I thought. Something confused me.
'Why isn't there any evidence of life?' I thought.
Suddenly someone appeared behind me. I turned around quickly and saw Oscar, my former love.
My heartbeat quickened. The air suddenly thickened, causing my throat and mouth to feel dry. My breath caught. My face warmed.
"Os...car..." I said slowly. Somehow saying it quickly made it seem like he would've disappeared.
He smiled at me. My heartbeat got faster. His smile never faded. He held out his hand.
Just as I was about to grab it, I woke with a sudden jerk.
My upper left cheek felt wet. As did the smallest part of the bridge of my nose. I was still crying.
I was shocked. 'Where am I?' I thought as I got up. The sun was already out. It surprised me.
'Was I dreaming? Most likely...' I breathed in and out. 'That's right. I'm in Amestris...' A wave of anger filled my insides.
'Amestris. Mom and dad... where are they? And Will...' The memories of the sensation of pointing the gun at that thing came to me. The memory of finding out that Will was lying to all of us. 'That explains those nights he was out so late.' I chuckled at that thought.
I stood up. The air was fresh, the Sun was shining, very few clouds were out also. It felt good. It wasn't cold either. The weather was just nice.
It was a type of weather I'd probably never get used to. It wasn't Drachman weather. Nothing here was Drachman. It was warm, prosperous. Alchemy was welcome with open arms. Only one thing was the same. War was the way of life. That, I was used to.
I stretched and looked around. There were signs of life. No one seemed to be awake though. 'Why isn't anyone up yet? A day like this in Drachma was cherished!' I let out a big sigh. 'All well. I wonder if there's a library nearby. I'm bored.'
-click- I looked at where the sound came from. It came from my pocket. 'What the...? That sounded like a gun...' I suddenly remembered that Lt. Hawkeye lent me a gun last night.
'Should I return it to her today? Uh... Maybe I should... but should I even be walking into a military office again? It was alright last night considering the situation.' I began to pace back and forth. 'What to do... What to do... What to do... I don't really wanna grab the luggage either... You know what! You might run into another homunculus! Good thinking Lily! Yeah! I'll return it to them later!' I thought nervously. 'Better take a look around the town so I can freeload off of people...'
[Later]
'Why am I hiding!? He already know my story!' I thought, hiding behind the corner of a wall.
You see, I was walking through the city, when suddenly, I see Alphonse Elric. Out of spontaneous panic, I hid behind a wall.
Now I'm still hiding behind a wall. Like the coward I am.
He was just taking a stroll around town. Nothing else.
"Did you hear about Maria Ross?" An elderly man asked a young woman. 'Must be a father to his daughter,' I thought.
"Yeah. Was murdered by the Flame Alchemist," the young woman said.
I looked across the busy street and saw a man in a hood looking around. 'Who's that...?'
"Speaking of state alchemists, did you also hear about that one murderer? You know, the one killing all those state alchemists." The elderly guy said.
'A murderer? Creepy...' I thought, my attention turning away from the hooded man.
"Oh yeah! He got another one. What was that one's name again?" She asked, sounding interested all of a sudden.
'...' I shuddered. 'How can they speak of this stuff so easily?!'
"I don't remember. I didn't really care." The man said bluntly, surprising me.
"Then why bring it up?" The woman asked.
"Because we were talking about a state alchemist." He answered back simply.
"What if he gets him?"
"I don't know. The death rate grows higher?" They both laughed.
I looked back at across street. 'What the hell!? He's gone!'
I looked around furiously. 'Where is he?!'
Something caught my eye. A small panda looking cat. 'This country gets weirder and weirder by the minute!' I thought.
Suddenly an ape-like man ran right past my eyes. 'WHAT THE HELL?!' I thought.
Following the ape-man came a psychotic looking guy in a suit of armor and a car.
Yeah. This country was weird.
