Chapter 1 – Reminiscences
They set camp in a small clearing near the pond they have just found, it was nightfall and the forest was quiet, as were the brothers. Since Edward had announced his discovery of the uroboro both had gone silent.
`She can’t be, she used alchemy for the love of god, it’s impossible´ his though was interrupted by a confused Alphonse.
“Nii-san, are you sure that’s what you saw?... I mean it could have been just similar, you know they can’t use alchemy”
“Yes I know, but I also know what I saw”
They stared at the night sky, pondering the situation when the calm was perturbed by a strange sound, almost like a growl.
“We should find something for you to eat” said an amused Al.
“Don`t look at me, I`m hungry but that wasn’t my stomach” At that instant a wild boar came running right into their small camp.
“Look Al, home delivery” Ed transmutated his automail arm into a blade, the boar didn’t have a chance.
A few moments later the smell of food permeated the clearing and a very hungry girl that had watched the entire scene from a secluded place started to get really pissed.
`That was my food, damn that midget, he stole my prey, I run around chasing it and he gets to eat it´
She was hidden behind some bushes that encircled the clearing, the idea of revealing her presence was not an option she even wanted to consider, but the growling in her belly was winning the argument.
“Well, time to eat” said the young alchemist grabbing a piece of boar, but as he was about to take a bite …
“Stop right now” the girl had just stepped into the camp determined to regain what was hers. “Hand it over and none one has to get hurt”
“Sorry, I killed it I eat it, that’s my policy girl”
“Nii-san, it’s her!!!”
“I don’t care, I’m eating now” he turn his back to the girl and started chewing happly.
“But Nii-san…”
`He’s ignoring me´ that though really fuelled her anger. “Listen you little…”
“LITTLE!!!, who are you calling so tiny that a flea could beat him up??!!!” Edward yelled without even letting her finish, the slightest mention of his height bothered him to no end.
`Every time, he’ll never change´ with a shrug he left his sibling to cool off alone and turned to the newcomer.
“That was not what I…” she tried to clarify but was once again interrupted, this time by the armour guy.
“Don’t bother, Nii-san never listen anyway. By the way I’m Alphonse, would you like to join us for dinner”
“Hey don’t give her my food” warned the blond alchemist, not that the other two were listening to him any way. For the first time he took on her appearance, no wander they thought she was a boy, she was wearing a filthy jacket that was a couple of sizes too big and reached her knees, boots and a cap; not the most flattering outfit but hey… she lived in a forest after all.
She was looking at them curiously, almost as if she knew something they didn`t it was starting to get really uncomfortable; then she simply smiled and sat.
“What is a state alchemist doing here?” she asked.
“How do you…” Ed started answering
“I saw you transmutate your fake arm and the watch in your pocket”
This was getting stranger and stranger, for a girl that lived like a wild animal she really knew a lot of things.
“You are an alchemist yourself” stated the blond teen as he tried to discern whether she was dangerous or harmless.
“That I am” she extended her arms to show him the transmutation circles imprinted on the palms of her hands.
“I see, you manipulate water” he said examining the circles “ Where did you learn to do that?”
“I was taught by my father all that concerns the alchemic science” she replied solemnly.
“Where is him, a villager told us he banished months ago?”
“None of your business” the sudden spite in her voice was evident; “He isn`t here anymore” she stood up ready to leave, the question had really upseted her.
“Wait!, aren’t you hungry…mmm?” called the younger Elric trying to stop her, up to the moment he had remained merely as a spectator. She stopped, after all she had come all the way here and even talked to them, she wasn’t about to leave empty handed. Besides the guy in the armour seemed really nice, `What was his name?... Alphonse,that`s right!´
“Sienna” she offered in a quiet voice.
“Nice too meet you miss Sienna” said Alphonse with a bow.
She smiled, this guy was so polite, “Nice to meet you too” she answered removing her cap and letting them see what she really looked like for the first time.
She was rather pretty, had light brown curls that were shoulder length and really pale skin under all the dust, but what impressed them were her eyes, red blood eyes.
“Ishbal” Alphonse whispered.
At the sound of that word Sienna reacted quickly; she snatched a piece of food from the fire and disappeared in the darkness of the woods leaving the very confused brothers behind.
-Munich 1929 (9 years later)-
A man in his twenties stared out the window of his bedroom/study, it had been raining all day and the streets of the city were empty. `Why is it that every time it rains I think of her?´
“Edward you should come out from there every so often” called a man voice from the doorframe. “Dinner is ready; by the way your father didn’t set the stove on fire this time so we should have a celebration”
The alchemist laughed at these words and started to make his way to the kitchen table, still he couldn’t shake the memory from his mind. `It’s not like I’m ever going back´
It wouldn`t hurt to review this story… Thanks…
