"So, that's what happened." I finished. "I had nothing to do with that transmutation! Yet I was used inorder to do something completely wrong!" I cried. "I don't know what to do! Had I just sinned?" Roy looked at me as he always did, a straight face with not life in it. He patted my shoulder.
"You haven't sinned, atleast I don't think you have. But it's not for me to decide." And like that he left with his assistant.
I was interviewed by a lot of military people that day,but none had anything good to say such as, 'get better'. I drifted into the hallways after I had a nurse came in and told me not to go anywhere.I slipped on a blanket to cover my arm, I couldn't sit still. I opened the door to see the boy called 'fullmetal' sitting in chair across the door. He was propped one elbow and just looked at me.
"Hello," I said bowing. "Have they told you yet?" I asked looking him in the eyes.
"Yes,they have." He said.
"So then you know." I said looking down the hallway.
"Uh-huh." he said looking down the hallway also. He glanced at me as I still looked down the hallway. "If you're looking for Roy he left." My eyes widened and I looked at him sadly.
"I was hoping he'd stay for a while." I said sighing."But that's always how it's been."
"Hhmmmmm..." He pondered for a bit.
"So, how'd you get the name 'Fullmetal'?" I leaned against the door.
"Uhhhhhh....." He hesistated and then smiled at me while he hit his left arm.
Pong Pong Pong
"Metal," I snickered and walked down the hallway.
"Hey," He stopped me.
"Yea, fullmetal?" I asked.
"It's Edward, and if you see my younger brother tell him to get over here. You'll know it's him trust me,Okay?"
"Alright," I said.
I walked down the hallway gripping the blanket tight. I sat on a bench in a dark corner. I tilted my head back against the wall and sighed. The ceiling was nothing but cement covered in an ivory white.
"This place smells like disinfectant and such." I sighed.
"Hey, that's what my brother says," I heard a boyish voice.
"Huh?" I looked down and looked ahead of me. There was a giant suit of armor in front of me. It felt eerie,and I flinched.
"Hi,"It said.
"Are you trying to play a joke on me?" I thought it might be a patient playing games.
"Oh,no no. I was just saying." It's arms moved and the color rushed from my face. "Are you okay?" It got up and tried to touch me.
"AHHHHHHHH!! No stay away from me! A ghost!" I freaked and fell off the bench on my bad arm." Urgh!" I scowled.
"You're bad arm! I'm sorry did I scare you?" The body of armor extended it's arm out to me.
"AHHHHHHHH!!" I screamed and backed up to a pair of feet.I looked up it was the Alchemist Ed.
"Alphonse, I've been looking for you.You can't just wonder off!" Edward said.
"It has a name!?" I gawked.
"I'm sorry brother. I was going to go back." Alphonse said.
"What is this thing?!" Immediatly I hid behind Edward.
"This thing happens to be my younger brother," Edward said.
"Younger brother my butt, he's as big as me. And I'm pretty tall." I whispered. "Wait,why'd you even come in the first place?" I asked.
"The nurse said you were on bedrest until tomorrow and told me to look for you."
"Oh yea I forgot," I said normally. "Well then I guess I should go back to my room, shouldn't I? Ahahaha?" I tried to kid but the armor was staring holes into me. I stared back.
"We should get back, before the anyone important nags us to." Ed said.
"Anyone important? what do you mean?" I asked. We all looked down the rest of the hallway into the lobby. There were military people everywhere. We all walked back up the hallway in a horizontal line. Ed on the far left,myself on the far right, and the suit of armor called 'Al' in the middle. I tried not to look at him,but I just kept glancing at his armor and large height. I kept my mouth shut until we were in the room. I stood beside my bed and burst a question.
"Is there someone in that suit of armor?!" I blurted.
"Ahhhh?!" they both stammered and looked around.
"Of course there is,why wouldn't there be?" Edward said.
"Really? Then let me see!" I said excited as I sat straight up on my bed. Just then my nurse came in.
"Oh, Lilac your nighttime shot." The nurse smiled. I sat up tall and let her inject me. I held my breath.
"Hmmm. You seem to handle pain pretty well." he said.
"Don't bother saying that.I can't handle all pain." I said as I drifted to another sleep.
