here's my fma fanfic so far!!!!^.^
It was a Saturday night at a dinner/show restaurant. I was in my bedroom/dressing room sleeping on my bed when someone laid down next to me and tapped my ear three times.” come on Jacob I don’t wanna wake up.” I said.
“but you have to, without you the act won’t work.” he said, Jacob is…….special. he looks normal like every other 16 year old boy, but he has pointed ears and teeth. No one bothers about his looks though, which is relief for me (we also have a secret that I will never tell.). Me and him are both alchemists and we hate our names….mine is “blood stained” and Jacob is “vampire”. We both know the reason for it, we just hate our names though.
“fine. I’ll get up.” I said turning over to see his face, he has a tiny red scar in the shape of a heart under left eye. “but first, you have to promise me something.”
“what?”
“that you’ll never die before me, ok?” I said. He hugged me close.
“I promise, know what Mary?”
“ya?”
“you’re so weird.”
“look who’s talking vampire boy!”
“look who else is talking bloody Mary!”
“argh! I hate that! Ok, ok, I’m weird. Let’s just get the show over with.” We got up and started to walk down the stairs to the dressing room together.
After the performance I took a look at the crowd and saw an old friend, “ everyone who would like to talk to us, please go to the right side of the stage, all military members, to the left!” the crowed split.
“Uh….Mary? You usually never do the whole fan thing.” Jacob said.
“Just bear with me, I saw an old friend of ours.” I said, “Don’t worry.” After we finished with the right side, we went went to the left crowed, the military is where most of our friends are like, “ARMSTRONG!” I gave him a big hug. ” it’s been months!”
“I missed you to officer,” he hugged me very tightly back.
“You’re…squishing…me!” My face started turning blue. He let go. “ ok now…why are you all here? I know that when Armstrong AND Roy comes to your home with there friends it’s bad news.”
“hey guys” said Jacob, everyone said said hi back, he sat down on the edge of the stage and I sat in his lap.
“ no bad news at all, we’re just “escorts” for the one who want to talk to you….and we missed you two.” Said roy, my close personal friend, next to Jacob and Hughes.
“who is it?” I asked.
“ me.” A boy as short as I am and about my age came out of the sea of blue military uniforms wearing red. ”I’m ed.”
“well hello ed!” I said “I’m mary!” I got out of Jacobs arms and stood in front of ed”……look at that! I’m just as old as you and just as short!” I started laugh, ed was getting annoyed.
“I’m not short!” he said.
“of course you’re not!” I patted his head, “ we’re both just ‘vertically challenged’!!” the whole crowed started to laugh, including me.
“ well, shall we go to our room mary? So we can talk to ed?” Jacob said getting off the stage to rub the top of my head.
“you’re right Jacob, well ed, if you want to bring anyone else you can, just follow us!” Jacob picked me up and set me on his shoulder.” You don’t have to do this every time Jacob!’
“ I want to!” he said giving me his innocent smile.
“alright.” We started down the hall in the backstage. ”so ed? Who’s the big metal guy?” I asked looking back.
“oh! This is al, my little brother.”
“little? Looks like it should be the other way around! Ha! Just kidding ed! Look at that! We’re here!” Jacob put me down and we went it my room, it was a nice living area and up the stairs was one nice, big, comfy, king sized bed for me and Jacob. “here we are! Make yourselves at home!” I said. ed sat at the buffet table. “oh! Go ahead and eat! I already had dinner!” I said, I looked over at al who was sitting in a wooden chair next to a coffee table. I went over to him and looked into his glowing yellow eyes.”…..good job ed!”
“what?” he said through a mouth full of fries.
“Good job! I have never seen a soul attachment perfectly executed like this!”
“Ah! Brother!” al said as poked his helmet.
“Don’t be such a scardey cat! I’m just looking at ed’s good job.” I said now poking one of the elbows,”so, you’re al huh? Must have been some history for you two to end up like this!” I said now backing away and getting to the couch where Jacob was. “Tell me about it.” Ed and al sat for a second shocked, “come on! Nothing worse than my history!” I cheerfully said. The pause for a second and ed finally spoke.
“Fine, we’ll tell you.” He said. When they finished tell there story ed was tearing. So was I, all I could do was get up and hug Ed, my history was almost the exact same.
“Ed…I’m sorry I made you tell me that.” I said, “I know how you feel, but worse.”
“No you don’t.” he said.
“Yes I do. My history is almost like that except….my sister didn’t make it, I tried to get her back, just like you did with al, but I couldn’t save her……” I couldn’t go on. I was welling tears now. Jacob got up and went over to hug me.
“It’s ok mary. Just go up stairs, it’s been a long day; I’ll talk to ed for you.” Jacob said, I couldn’t speak so I just nodded my head and went up the stairs. I got on the bed but I kept an eye on the floorboards, I heard the conversation but I couldn’t make out who it was.
“Do you know anything about the philosopher’s stone?”
“No”
“Don’t lie!”
“I’m not”
“Damn it! I know your lying! I know you know about the stone!” I saw a flash come through the floorboards. I rushed down the stairs my mind in overdrive of images of Jacob dead on the floor, it was worse. Al’s arms and legs were torn off and Ed has pinned Jacob to the wall over the couch with his metal arm that was trasmutated into a blade.
“ED! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! DON’T HURT HIM!” I yelled, transmuting my own arm into a blade. I ran at ed so fast he had no time to react, I cut his whole metal arm off. Ed fell on the floor, Jacob collapsed on the couch. “why ed? Why did you try to hurt him?”
“he was lying.” He said simply.
“damn it ed, never judge people just by how they look, I thought you learned that already due to the fact that your part robot and al is just an attached soul.” I said.” He knows nothing about the philosopher’s stone, I do however, I can tell you how make it or how to find it, either way you’ll never be happy. “I said grimly staring at the broken boy now lying on the floor looking back at me in terror of what I have become.
“Why haven’t you killed me yet?” ed said smirking now.
“……shut up!” I yelled at him.
“It’s because since so many people have died already you’re not ready to kill someone for what you want to reach huh?” he said casually.” And you friend Jacob…he’s a chimera isn’t he?”
“…….I SAID SHUT UP!” I kicked him across the room.
“Come on. You didn’t even have the strength to knock me out.” He said sitting up.
“But I do have the strength to do this!” I yelled back, I clapped my hands and slammed them on the floor, the ground around ed flashed and there he was trapped under concrete, his head out so he could breathe.
“Brother!” yelled the defenseless al, “what did you do? “He yelled at me.
“Nothing, I just trapped him in stone.” I said, “I’ll take you two to my mechanic tomorrow, get some sleep.” I was tired and my face was red not with rage, or heat, but with embarrassment that our secret my and Jacob’s secret was reviled. I picked Jacob up and walked up the stairs, set him down on one side and I fell asleep on the other side holding his hand.
When I woke up the next morning Jacob was already awake. ”morin’ mary!” he said like nothing had even happened. “one egg or two?” he was making scrambled eggs.
“two” I said as I kicked ed’s head awake. ”wake up you moron.”
“ow! No need to kick!” he said “let me go!”
“not yet, I’m gonna send you two to my mechanic with me. I need to get a new arm and leg anyway. Morning al!” I said.
“morning”he said. “can you let brother go now?”
“not until I get you two to my mechanic!” I said, I packed up with Jacob and we set off to the train station.
“where are we going mary?” said ed demandingly.
“you’ll find out. Now, why did you want to see us in the first place?” I asked ed, I already knew but I didn’t want him to know I did.
“what do you know about the stone?”he simply said.
“ I know a lot about it. I actually had one for a spell.” I said only giving him the least amount of information I could.
“YOU HAD IT!” yelled ed. ”WHERE DID IT GO?!?!?”
“with my sister,” I said, the rest of the train ride was silent.
“where are we?” asked all when we got of the train.
“I thought you’d know, you were here before!” I said, “my mechanic told me about you before and the times you visited!” ed and al were still the rest of the journey, I guess they knew where we were heading. When we got there I knocked on the door and an old, short woman stood at the door.
“well, if it isn’t mary and Jacob.” She said, “and what’s in the wood and stone?”
“Mrs. Rockbell! hi!” I said laughing nervously, “it’s uhhhh…ed and alphonse elric,… the two boys you told me about…eh, heh, heh….ya, they came to our house yesterday and it sorta turned for the worse.”
“well then, come on in, guess you need new automail mary?” she said
“yep! And I’m paying for ed’s new arm…I sorta…ripped it off.” I laughed nervously again, I didn’t like to tell things like that, made me afraid someone was going to hurt me. I took ed out of the concrete and he bashed me on the head.
“THAT’S FOPR TRAPPING ME AND RIPPING MY ARM OF YOU SHORT JERK!”
“SHORT JERK?!? I’M AS SHORT AS YOU SHRIMP!” I yelled back.
“TINY!”
“PINT SIZED IDIOT!”
“MICROSCOPIC NERD!”
“LITTLE ROBOT!”
“HALF-HUMAN, SHORT FREAK!” ed yelled, he lunged at me, I dodged him and grab his braid.
“OW! OW! OW! OW!” yelled ed his hand grabbing mine trying to pull my hands off. The whole house was laughing now.
“sorry ed!” said Jacob between laughter, “I can’t help you! You brought this upon yourself!” they kept laughing as I pinned ed to the ground, dug my elbow into his shoulder, and put my knee on his back.
“NEVER! CALL ME HALF HUMAN! YOU IDIOT! AND MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE SAYING BEFORE YOU EVEN SPIT OUT ONE LETTER!”
“what’s with all the commotion?” a girl said walking down the stairs rubbing her eyes.
“oh! Hi winery!” Jacob said cheerfully. The room went silent, ed even stopped screaming in pain and I lost my anger at ed for a second. I gave him one last dig in the shoulder with my elbow, got up, and got myself happy again,
“hey winery.” I said, “eh,heh,heh….umm….i need new automail, so does ed, I’m paying for his too.”
“what are you talking abo……” winery said, “WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY WORK?!?!?!?!” she grabbed me and threw me on a wall. “WHY DID YOU RIP MY WORK TO PIECES!?!?!?”
“OW! NOT MY FAULT YOUR “WORK” TRIED TO KILL JACOB!” I got up and started flaming at winery, she flamed back.
“YOU RUINED IT! I WORKED HOURS ON IT!”
“BUT YOU SAID YOU WORKED DAYS ON MINE!”
“I DID! BUT I DID BETTER ON HIS!” she yelled, I paused and sniled a bit.
“you like ed don’t you winery.” I smirked. She paused and lost her balance for a sec.
“wha?.......NO! WE’RE KID FRIENDS!”
“ya, what ever winery, can I just get my automail? I’ll ay top dollar!”she stopped and just gave me the receipt, I got measured, was fitted with substitutes, and given a room for me and Jacob. I was SO glad that we didn’t have to share with ed!
