Chapter 5 - What am I?
Alphonse was angry with her that much she knew; telling him those words was cruel but necessary. She didn't want to give up, for ten years she searched for a way to bring him back, finding Dante was her last hope and it was taken away from her when last year she found Lyra's corpse. She was sure the witch was still alive, after all she managed to destroy Gluttony and escape with the fragment of the philosopher's stone he had eaten; but now her only solid lead was gone, she had no idea what she looked like.
All of the sudden she felt older than her real age, she was tired of being strong and never showing weakness, of not having anything she could call hers, a home, a family; it was like she was trapped in a labyrinth running in circles over and over again. She wanted to cry and scream, let all of her frustration out; she settled for a deep breath.
´By this time tomorrow I'll be far away from Central ' with this on mind, she sat at her desk and resumed her work.
"What the hell is this doing here?" she wondered as she came upon an old report that didn't belong to her; in fact she wasn't even in the militia when it was written.
She quickly scanned the contents but just before she putted it aside a word caught her attention, ‘Orbeth’. She hadn't thought of that god forsaken town in ages, not ever since she left with Ed and Al all those years ago.
Flashback.
Two days after her hasty departure from their campsite, the Fullmetal Alchemist found her. She tried to avoid a confrontation but it was bound to happen from the beginning.
"What are you?" the young man asked his intense golden gaze set on her.
She didn't reply, in fact she didn't understand the question. ‘I’m fucking human' she thought baffled, sure she was a little dirty and lived in the forest, however she was no animal.
Sensing her confusion she tried a different angle. “Why do you have an Uroboro? Are you one of them, a Homunculi?” he accented the accusation transmuting his automail arm into a blade.
She was surprised with his question to say the least; never less she showed no indication whatsoever. Long ago she learned that in a fight the fewer you let go, the better odds you get. She stood silently looking at him, Edward was not an enemy to be taken lightly; she made her move, her water jet went straight at him but he evaded. He then got to close to her disabling her most powerful defence and forcing her to really fight. She formed an ice spear and attacked him, he was fast and a great fighter but she was too.
After what it seemed like hours for them they stopped, they where breathless and exhausted.
“I’ll ask again, what are you?” said Ed between pants.
Without answering him she took her chance and tried to flee the scene; it all happened in a matter of seconds. As she was running, he grabbed her coat forcing her to take it off, it was then her real secret was out.
“What the fuck?” was all the Fullmetal Alchemist could muster after what he saw. Not giving it a second thought he clapped his hands and trapped the escaping girl.
A transmutation circle seemed covered her entire back, part of her left shoulder, stomach and upper right thigh. The lines where thin and red, they converged in the one part that Ed had seen before, the uroboro.
She was trying with all her might to escape, the metal bars would not move. Her alchemy wasn’t helping either which made her even more nervous that she already was.
The Fullmetal Alchemist was speechless, never had he seen a circle like the one tattooed to her skin, sure he recognised some symbols but that arrange was the work of a genius that much he knew.
“Let me go” she muttered finally standing still.
“Not until you tell me the meaning of this” he replied pointing at her back.
“I don’t know” her voice was soft. “Now let me go”
She sounded sincere, but he was sure that it was more to it. Maybe she didn’t knew what it did, hell he couldn’t even figure it out, the thing was who put it there.
“How did you get it?”
“One day I wake up and it was there”
Her lack of answers was making him impatient, “Did your father put it there?” he asked harshly.
She didn’t reply, that was all he needed to realize the connection between this and his disappearance.
Stepping close to her cage, “Sienna, what exactly happened to your father?” that was all he was able to say before she formed an ice blade with her hand and grabbed his clothes, pulling him to the metal bars.
“The less you know the better. If you get to close they kill you” she whispered in his ear, “Now let me out”
Now he understood everything, “Your father was searching for the philosopher’s stone and the homunculus killed him”
“No, they killed me.” She answered, her red eyes locked with Ed’s golden ones.
End flashback
In his little room back at the military barracks, Alphonse stared at an open drawer. Inside laid some of the things that had belonged to his brother; his red coat, his investigation journal, various pictures and his State Alchemist watch. It had been recovered from the ruins of Lyor and given to him along with his own the day he became a State Alchemist himself.
As he had done millions of times before he opened it, the words written there by Edwards hand were for him the most tangible part of a past he didn’t remember; Don’t forget 3.Oct.10, and he never did.
