Chapter 2

Ok, Chapter 2! I'm glad I got it up so fast! I hope you like it; it's really hard not to write from someone's POV. (This is Normal POV, by the way.)

Enjoy!

"An Ishbalan child? Send her away." The Colonel flicked his hand. 1st Lieutenant Hawkeye sighed.

"Why is she here, Major Armstrong?" The blonde woman walked up to the muscular man, who stiffened.

"She says she wishes to become a State Alchemist." The Major spoke quietly, but it still made the Colonel jump.

"What? A State Alchemist? But-but Ishbalans hate alchemy!" The trio exchanged glances, before leaving the room.

They soon reached the girl, who eyed the Colonel. He flinched slightly, before composing himself.

"Good Morning. I am Colonel Roy Mustang. What is your name?" He looked at the girl, who smiled softly.

"Good Morning, Colonel. My name is Seira. I am 14 years old." The white haired girl bowed slightly.

"Do you have a last name, Seira?" Riza Hawkeye smiled at Seira, eyes soft.

"No, it's just Seira." Seira's red eyes stared deep into the 1st Lieutenant's brown ones.

"Well, Seira, why are you here? I heard that Ishbalans hate alchemy." The Colonel frowned, deeply confused. Seira sighed sadly.

"I need to become a State Alchemist. It's the only way to stop Scar." Seira's red eyes burned with anger as she said his name. Roy flinched and backed up a few steps. His eyes were wide and he was grimacing. Riza looked shocked, and Major Armstrong crossed his arms.

"How do you know about that, Seira?" Riza looked sternly at the young teenager, not noticing 2 people enter. Seira looked down. Riza exhaled.

"Answer me, Seira!" The blonde woman cried out, frustrated and confused. Seira looked up again, eyes filled with tears.

"If I become a State Alchemist, Scar will not kill me. I can stop him." Seira wiped her eyes furiously, and sighed.

"What makes you think that? Is it because you're an Ishbalan?" Roy spoke out, and Seira shook her head.

"It's because he's my father." Seira crossed her arms. Roy gasped, and then looked around. He spotted the 2 people who had come in before.

"Edward! Alphonse! Go to my office and wait for me." He pointed up the stairs, and Edward groaned, and then spotted the girl.

"Hey, aren't you Seira? The girl who warned us before?" Edward walked up to her, and she nodded. She was Edward's height, maybe a little shorter.

"Yes, I am Seira. You're Edward Elric, the Fullmetal Alchemist. And that's your little brother, Alphonse Elric. Can you please ask the Colonel to allow me to take the State Alchemist Examination?" Seira smiled sweetly at the brothers, who exchanged glances.

"But Ishbalans hate alchemy!" Alphonse gasped.

"Not me. I need to become a State Alchemist." Seira looked back at the Colonel.

"Er, I guess you could take the examination. Come back in 48 days; the examination is then. Be ready. Boys, will you look after this girl? Help her if you must." Roy walked off, followed by Riza and Alex Luis Armstrong. Edward stuck the finger up at the Colonel's retreating back. Seira giggled, and, if he could've, Alphonse would've blushed.

"Brother, Seira is very pretty." Alphonse whispered into Ed's ear. The Fullmetal Alchemist jumped and stared at his brother.

"Well, once we get your body back, you can go out with her. Or go out with her no. I don't care." Edward motioned for the others to follow him onto the street. Seira looked around, then grabbed Edward's sleeve.

"Edward, can I show you my alchemy?" Seira blushed lightly. Edward nodded, and his eyes widened as Seira clapped her hands and pressed them against the ground. A burst of light made the brothers cover their eyes, and there was suddenly a beautifully carved stone statue of the Fuhrer King Bradley in front of the Military building. The ground around them was sunken, but it seemed to only slope down towards the statue.

"How is it?" Seira looked at the boys waiting for input.

"You…didn't use a transmutation circle." Edward gasped.

"Nope. I never have." Seira shrugged, and then kept walking.

"So, where will we be for the next 48 days, brothers?" Seira giggled, and the boys ran after her.

"Wait up, Seira! We need to find accommodation first!" Edward shrieked, sprinting alongside the Ishbalan girl. Her red eyes gleamed.

"I think I can take care of that."

Chapter 2! Yay, I updated it so quickly! And this chapter is longer (by about 10 words). Hope you liked it!
