WOOT!!!! NEW CHAPTERS!! WOOTNESS!!!
We got back to central days later not much happened just traveling. I walked down stares happy to be alive. I smiled at every one behind the counter, which was a rare thing to see. “I’m so happy! The suns bright I’m alive! In fact I’m so happy I could die!!” I called out it was seven in the morning I was never up at this time of day.
“Geez... Some one got laid last night.” Katie stated.
“Four times,” I stuck up four fingers, “Oh and this morning!”
“MY INNOCENCE!!” Mercy yelled from the kitchen.
We all looked at her. “Aki did you have to say that in front of me? I’m only 13!”
“I’m not in front of you now am I?” I said slyly.
“Ya well still! Gross!” Mercy commented.
I laughed at her a pitiful small laugh. Katie walked up next to me and hit me in the head. “What was that for?”
“I don’t know I just felt like hitting you.” Katie stuck her tongue out at me.
I kicked her in the shin, she wailed in pain, “And I felt like kicking you!”
We glared at each other for a second. My door creaked open. Havoc stepped out and looked at us for a few seconds. “Hi Havoc!” I called out cheerfully.
He walked up to me and put a hand on my shoulder. “Hey what’s up?” I asked him he looked tired.
“Not much.” Havoc yawned.
I smiled at him again. I hugged him and kissed him on the cheek. His eyes widened, “I’m up!” He declared.
I laughed softly, “Oh crap we need to go soon.”
“Oh man I forgot my uniform at home. I guess I better head over there then.” Havoc held his head.
“You better get going then. We have a meeting with the colonel today.”
“Right.”
He headed up stairs. Someone walked through the back door, “Hey sorry I’m late!” Nicollette said out loud.
“Ya well that’s the 15th time this month.” I replied back.
“What ever.” She sighed.
I glared at her. “Were did you guys go while I was gone?” Nicollette asked me.
“Well Aki went to Daner to get Justin back after he died,” Katie told her.
“Wait you did a human transmutation? You idiot you know you aren’t suppose to do that!” She snarled at me.
“I didn’t do a human transmutation I attached his soul to a suit of armor.”
“We’ll then were is he?”
“Dead. He killed himself.”
She stared at me angrily. “I can’t believe you’d do something so stupid.”
I looked away from her. She grabbed me by the shirt and pulled me closer. “What have I told you? You never do forbidden alchemy! How many times must I tell you that?”
I pushed her off. “I understand that! But I you saw your friend die in front of you. You’d do the same!”
She punched me, “No I wouldn’t! I would never do something so stupid!”
I glared at her. I looked away again. Havoc came downstairs “What are you guys talking about?”
“It’s nothing.” I glared at her again.
“Well any way I’ve got to get going!” Havoc kissed me and walked out the door.
I smiled at him. “What was he doing here?” Nicollette asked me.
“Long story.” Mercy shuttered.
I laughed, “Ya she’s right. Maybe I’ll tell you later.”
I went up stairs into my room and put on my uniform. I slid down the stair’s rail and leaped off at the last second. I walked out the door and waved at everyone. I looked up at the sky. Few clouds floated overhead. I looked ahead of me wind blew my hair everywhere as I walked. I saw Central Head Quarters up ahead I sighed I hated going to work.
I walked up the stairs in front of the building before I was stopped. I turned around to see Mercy pale with exhaustion, “A-Aki! Aeon- has got the others! She says to meet her in warehouse 12. Or they all die!”
My eyes widened. “Crap! On all days she could kidnap you guys! She picks today!!”
I shoved her aside “Tell Roy and the others I’ll be gone for a little while! But if I don’t get back by midnight I’m sorry.”
I ran towards the warehouses. Looking for warehouse 12. Unfortunately there’s where three and it took two tries to find the right one. I put my ear on the door to see if I could hear anything. I heard faint voices but there were voices non-of the less. I busted through the door, “Aeon!”
“So you showed up I thought you would.” She smiled at me with an evil grin.
--------------------------------------------------------*-----------------------------------------------
“Ya so let them go!” I glared at her.
“Oh your no fun.” She stated, “Guys let them go.”
Three men stood by my friends I glared at each of them. “Of coarse I want something in return.” She looked at my friends evilly.
“And what dare I ask would that be?”
“For you to surrender to us. Other wise we will kill them.”
“Fine. Just don’t hurt them.”
“We won’t.”
“But I won’t surrender with out a fight first.” I clapped my hands and touched the ground. Aeon jumped away from the slippery ice patch.
“If you insist.” She looked at me hers eyes almost glowing in the dim lighting.
I clapped my hands together again. I was hit over the head with something. I fell to the ground in pain. “That should do tie her up.” I heard Aeon say.
I was bound up with my hands attached to the wall apart from each other so I couldn’t do alchemy. I glared at her she glared back. She took out a small knife it glinted in the light. She walked toward me twisting the knife on one of her fingers. She kneeled down and showed me the blade and placed the tip on my wrist. “So do you want to say anything to say?”
“Ya I do.”
“Well to bad!” she looked at the man next to me he put a piece of cloth in my mouth and it around my head.
She dug the knife into my wrist and pulled it down to my elbow. The cloth muffled my scream. Tears streamed down my cheeks. I struggled to free myself of pain. I knew I had no hope of escaping. She pushed the blade against my cheek and cut it open. I cried harder hoping for someone to find me. She smiled at me as I cried. I caught my breath looking at her with one eye. She put the tip of it on my leg and raised it up in the air and brought it down. I yelled in pain and struggled again I kicked her in the head. She looked at me and whipped the dirt off her cheek. She punched me in the face and again in the chest. I coughed in the pain. She slashed my stomach with the tip of the blade I was soaked in blood at this point it might have been five minutes before I started to get dizzy.
The door swung open a man stood there, “Boss there are some people and-“ before he could finish he was shot. Aeon stood up, “Crap! Those girls must have told some one!”
Roy, Havoc, and Riza walked through the door. I smiled at the sight of them all. Roy snapped hi fingers and fried the people around me. Riza attempted to shoot Aeon but missed each time she shot. Aeon jumped up onto a rafter and jumped out a window. Havoc ran next to me and untied my arms and the cloth in my mouth. He looked at my arm and my leg I looked at him happy they got here in time. I moaned as I got up I held my stomach I took my hand away from the wound it was covered in blood. I sighed and looked at my arm it was still bleeding. I touched my cheek it was still bleeding too. Havoc hugged me. I stood there and hugged him back. I pulled away Havoc was covered in my blood. I looked at him, “Come on we need to bandage your wounds.” He stated.
I nodded I limped as I walked with them. I held my arm close to me as I walked. I looked at Havoc he looked ahead with a serious expression. I held my head and stop. Havoc looked at me. I couldn’t see I completely blacked out I think Havoc grabbed my shoulders and asked me if I were okay. “I’m fine but I can’t see.”
I knew it was Havoc now since he picked me up and started running, “Your losing to much blood Aki.”
I got my vision back a few minutes later we were already at Head Quarters by that time. I looked at Havoc he was biting a cigarette to the point of breaking. I closed my eyes I felt really tired. I looked behind us Roy and Riza struggled to keep up.
I was taken to a hospital room where Havoc put me down on a bed. A nurse came in to look at the wounds, “Just give me some bandages and I’ll be fine.”
“That’s not a good idea, your wounds are deep and you’ve to much blood. If I let you go in this condition you could fall unconscious in any predicament.” She told me whipping her hands off with a small white towel. I looked at Havoc he had concern on his face. I looked away. I sighed, “Fine.”
“Let me see your arm, I need to stop the bleeding before it gets to out of hand.” She requested.
I stuck out my arm she started to rap it up in gauze. I sighed; I didn’t want to sit around all day doing nothing. Havoc sat next to me and patted my back. She tied it off and stuck a bandage on my cheek. It went on for a while. It was about half an hour before all of my wounds were covered in bandages. “There you go Aki. Now then don’t be to active for the next few days.” She placed her hand on her waist and smiled.
“A few days!” I exclaimed.
“Well Aki if you weren’t so reckless you would be fine.” She looked at me with a scowl.
“I can’t help it!” I looked out the window. My arm was put in a sling so I couldn’t move it.
Roy and Riza had left a few minutes ago Havoc remand in the room. He still sat next to me. I looked at him and then at my arm. The bandages were already bloody. I gave a long sigh. Havoc looked at me. “What’s wrong?” he asked.
“It’s nothing really, it’s just that they’re right. I am to reckless.” I replied.
He looked at me. I looked at him through the corner of my eye. He put an arm on my shoulder I didn’t pay much attention to it. “I want you to resign from the military.” He looked at the ground.
“You want me to what?” I looked at him shocked, “I can’t do that! I love being in the military!” I kept the edge out of my voice.
Havoc touched my face with his hand. “Do it for me okay?”
I looked at him trying to keep anger off my face. “Why though.”
“We’re going off to war in a few months, I don’t want you there.”
I smiled “That’s why I joined though, I wanted a little adventure in my life I didn’t want to sit around on my ass all day like normal people.” I looked at him.
He sighed and looked at the ceiling. “I’ll talk to the colonel to see if I can get out of being in the war.” I knew it was impossible.
