Fullmetal Alchemist Fan Fiction ❯ River's of Blood ❯ Chapter 4

Chapter 4

“How is he doing?” Roy asked the mousy nurse with blonde frizzy hair. She knew exactly who the he was talking about since the man had been coming there every day asking her about Edward. Her answer was always the same too. The `we're not sure doctor/nurse' answer.

“We are doing are best.” She chanted what she had learned to say in med school with a sad smile causing Roy to sigh in agitation at how incompetent the hospital staff was being.

It took all of his self-control not to burst out, like some other alchemist, in the young nurse face, `Well, that's not good enough!' But he stayed silent and in control like usual as he and a tentative First Lt. Riza followed him to the room of his subordinate.

What made him even more anger then the `comforting' staff was that Ed had been found without his ever-following brother Al. There had been no word of the giant suit of armor since four nights ago when they had found Fullmetal. No, sign at all.

“This is getting interesting…” He muttered incoherently. Riza heard her superior and made a questioning grunt like noise.

“Sir?”

Roy just waved his hand, pushing away her question as he thought critically about the current situation.

As the approached the room of Edward Elric, Roy and most likely Riza noticed that the normally shut door was wide open.

WwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwW

 

Feet moved through the room swiftly in an abnormal speed then became a run.

“Oh god, Ed…” mumbled a blonde with wide eye shock. Then crumbled to her knees and her whole body shook as tears leaked from her deep blues eyes. She sobbed and sobbed as she remembered the last thing she had said to Edward before he and Al had left after Ed's annually repair.

Riza and Roy came barging in rudely thinking that Ed had been attacked or something like that. When the found the coast was clear and the only other in the room was Winry on the floor, looking at them in surprise while fresh tears still ran down her face, the both sighed in relieve.

“Winry?” Riza asked gently as she crouched by the girl. She wrapped her arm around Winry's shoulder trying to comfort her. “Are you okay?”

Well, obviously not but Winry smiled and shook her head in a sad attempted to get Riza to stop worrying

“I guess… What happened?” Winry pointed at her childhood friend knowing that it was going to be tragic. Riza looked up at Roy who nodded his head.

“We honestly don't know.” Riza whispered quietly knowing what question was going to be asked next.

“Where's Al?”

This time Roy answered, “We have no idea.”

They were all silent for a moment. But there moment of thought was interrupted by a grunt coming from Ed.

He looked at them by just moving his head. Winry quickly rose and ran to his side.

“You had me so worried!” It seemed like all her shock had disappeared the moment his eyes opened. Now it was his turn to look up in terror.

“Win..Winry?” he spoke almost as if it was a question. He then spotted Roy and Riza who were silently watching them. Feeling slightly befuddled he recalled everything. “Al…no.”

This made them all remember the situation at hand.

“Oh, yes, where's Al, Ed?”

Ed quickly shot up causing a wave of nausea to fill him. He tried to get up but his whole body cried out in agony even at slight movements.

“Get back in bed, Fullmetal.” Roy said in his commanding tone. Ed surprised everyone when he obeyed without a word. “Al?”

“He hates me…” Ed said covering his face so no one could see the tears he cried. “He tried to kill me…”

Silence, shock….

 

Reviews are welcomed. Oh, and the next chapter is going to have a explanation of a sort of why the hell Al would do something like that. Its different from I think all of your ideas you guys have told me. Stay tuned!
