Chapter 2: Tempted
“43 bottles of Sake on the wall… 43 bottles of Sake…”
“Hey, Caroline, look who it is,” her older blonde brother said.
Ignoring him, almost as if in a trance, she continued.
“Take one down, pass it around. 43-“
Al sighed. “I don't think she hears us,” he replied. “Maybe you should come back later.”
“Oh, she'll hear me,” Jordan commented, uncrossing her arms. “Ed, have you seen the shrimp?”
Caroline stopped immediately. “Why you...” she began.
“I can't find her anywhere,” the older girl continued, smirking. Ed could see she was clearly enjoying this, and decided not to get involved between the two girls, considering how it always turned out bad in the end. “I mean, maybe she got lost in between the blades of grass considering how short she is.”
“Who you callin' a runt so small that she'd have to scream to get the attention of an ant!” Caroline yelled, clenching her fists and jumping up, flinging her coat to the ground.
“Wow, so you're short and you're deaf,” the older girl shot, the same smirk still pasted onto her face as the youngest Elric threw a fit of yelling, hand motions, and…more yelling.
“You're annoying me,” the Mustang sister replied calmly after a few minutes.
“Good!” Caroline yelled.
“Oh yeah?” Caroline was suddenly picked up by the collar & brought to eye level with the older girl. “I wouldn't call pissing me off good…” she said, bringing her fingers to a snapping position. Caroline's eyes flicked to the wristbands with the Flame Alchemy Transmutation Circle on it, then looked the girl back in the eyes, biting her lower lip and trying to look somewhat defiant. “I might just… you know… have to burn-“
“Don't burn me, please!” the younger girl yelled, resorting to pleading. “I don't taste good burnt, and… and all I am is scrawny beef jerky with a hint of blood!”
“Ooh, I like beef jerky,” Jordan said psychotically, staring at her like a hunger-crazed wolf. “In that case, I'll just-“
“No!” Caroline yelled, her arms flailing. “I'll drink milk, do paperwork, chores, bow, do anything you want, just don't burn me!”
“Well, I was just kidding but, hell,” Jordan said, dropping her. “Alright.”
“Nani?” Caroline said. “You were kidding!”
Jordan nodded. “Yeah, but there's something a bit more important I gotta tell ya so listen up.”
All three Elrics looked to her.
“Okay, Roy hates you guys so-“
“No, whatever gave you that idea?” Caroline asked, then after a received glare from Jordan, saluted nervously.
“So…” Jordan continued. “You guys are gonna watch a well, got it?”
“Watch a what!”
Al covered his younger sister's mouth before she could get Jordan any angrier.
“Don't worry,” Al said. “We can handle it, right, brother?”
Ed nodded.
“See?” Al said. “If I can handle a cat in my….. uh…” Al stopped nervously.
“Al…” Ed began in a threatening tone. Before the two brothers realized it, Ed & Al were running around in circles, yelling, arguing, and screaming at the top of their lungs.
Caroline sighed, and walked over to stand by Jordan.
“Brothers are such a pain in the ass,” she said.
Jordan nodded. A silence lasted between the two, then
“So, you comin' or not?”
Caroline looked taken aback. “Ni?”
“You don't know the way to the well, right?” Jordan asked.
“Nope,” the Elric replied. “I aint got a clue.”
“Well come on,” Jordan said. “Lets go, and I'll show you.”
The girl started to walk off, but Caroline stopped her.
“Shouldn't we… you know… ask if they wanna come? I don't think they know the way either,” she said.
Jordan looked up at Ed & Al, then back down at the girl. “Good point,” then in a normal-toned voice, knowing neither brother could hear her, she asked “Hey, Ed, Al, you wanna come?”
No answer. Jordan shrugged, and continued walking. Caroline hesitated, but grabbed her coat and ran to catch up nevertheless.
“Hey, Jordan?” she asked.
“Yeah?”
“Do you… think something's wrong with Ed?” she asked. “It seems like he's… I dunno… hiding something.”
Jordan thought for a moment. `The Philosopher's Stone, no doubt. He hasn't told them yet.'
“Well…” she began, then stopped.
`“Don't you say anything either, got it?”'
Roy's voice echoed in her head.
`Oh yeah,' she remembered. `That.'
The Elric stared up, wide-eyed and waiting for an answer. Jordan took a breath.
“No… I think he's just fine,” she said.
“Oh. Okay.” Jordan could tell the girl knew something was wrong, just didn't know what.
It was quite a bit later when the two girls reached the clearing. It was on a small little hill, still in Military HQ, surrounded by beautiful trees & all different types of flowers. In the middle of it all sat an old-looking wooden well. The full moon had risen into the sky & it was about 8:00. The girls sat around for a while, waiting to see if Ed & Al would stumble across the clearing. Just when the two were beginning to get worried they heard a
“Al, did you see where they went?”
“No, nii-san, but they've probably gone off to the well.”
There was a silence and Jordan looked at Caroline.
“Boy, your brother sure can yell loud, Caroline,” she commented. Then a quieter
“What well?”
“Nii-san!” Al scolded. “Pay more attention! The well Jordan mentioned!”
“You mean that bitch went off with my sister without me?!”
“Brother, please!”
Jordan sighed, and looked at Caroline. The brunette sat contently, her back to the well, her brown eyes gazing over an alchemy book.
“Alright,” Jordan said. “Now that I've showed you the way, you'll remember it, and won't get lost, right?”
“Yeah, sure,” Caroline said, obviously not paying attention.
“Alright, good,” Jordan said. “Then go find your brothers & bring em here.”
Caroline looked up, her face ridden with horror. “No way, I'll get lost!”
Jordan sighed, and slapped her forehead. The raven-haired girl thought for a moment, & then focused her blue eyes back to the Elric sister.
“Alright,” she said. “I'll go get em… on one condition.”
“Dude, sweet! Waitaminute.” Caroline said suspiciously. “What kind of condition?”
“One,” the girl answered, putting one finger up, “You stay here & watch the well. & you can't move from that spot.”
“Okay...” Caroline said.
“Two,” another finger rose.
“Waitjustagoddamnminute!” Caroline yelled. “You said one!”
Jordan raised an eyebrow. “So? I changed my mind.”
“You can't change your mind! I've changed mine!” Caroline immediately jumped up and started over to the bushes. Jordan watched intently as the girl looked uselessly. The Elric then laughed nervously & turned back to Jordan. “Uh…I changed my mind again.”
“That's what I thought,” Jordan said, “Anyways, two…” she smirked. “You have to do everything you said you'd do earlier if I didn't burn you, got it?”
Caroline glared, hesitated, then mumbled “Fine.”
“Okay, so you're gonna stay where?”
“Here.”
“Where here?”
“In this spot.”
“& not do what?”
“Move.”
“Even if you see a lizard?”
“No.”
“A penguin?”
“No.”
“A muffin? A really hot guy?”
“Aw come on!”
“What?”
“Fine.”
The Mustang smirked, and patted the girl on the head jokingly.
“Good dog of the Military,” she said, then took off.
Caroline stared at the sky, the moon, the stars as she laid against the well. And as she watched, she began to wonder what was so dangerous about the well after all…
