The Flame Wolf Alchemist [Fullmetal Alchemist]

Chapter 5: Father Cornello? More Like Father Hell-No

Why hello again! Ok, so this is chapter is based off of the original 2003 anime, and a few other chapters as well, but I'm mostly following the Brotherhood anime and the manga. Just letting you guys know! :)

On to the story~...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I slowly opened my eyes and squinted as bright light flooded my senses. What even happened? Oh yeah, that priest guy kidnapped me. Heh, I guess the 'prophet' got scared of the military investigating. All the more reason to stop this false belief that the people have. I know he's using alchemy, maybe even the philosopher stone!

I looked around groggily. I was sitting against a wall in an old room with a metal door standing in front of me. I was chained up by my wrists and I hissed as I felt the silver in the chains burn me as I shifted my hands.

"You're awake," I suddenly hear from beside me. I jumped out of my skin and turned to face Edward, who was also chained up. If only this wasn't silver, I could mindlink Trevor and Kat and figure a way out. Silver is seriously a bitch, it's lucky that Kat wears cloth over her automail since silver doesn't effect her.

"Yeah, one of the prophet's guards got me as I was following you guys after the gathering. Are you and I the only ones here?" I asked quietly. I accidentally moved the chains some and let out another hiss of pain.

"Yeah, they managed to grab me in the streets last night. They took my watch which is stupid because I don't need it for my alchemy. Al should be working on a plan to get us out of here." Ed stated as he leaned his head back against the wall.

So I've been out for at least a day?! That's some strong stuff they're using to kidnap people these days. Wonder if I can get the recipe...

"Ok. So I'm guessing, ow, that he had a Philosopher Stone? Ow, where's Kat and Trevor?"

Ed looked at me curiously and shrugged his shoulders.

"They were looking for you most of yesterday after they found out you weren't behind them, more or less. Then they said that they had to go do something and to not wait up for them. They left before I got captured, that's for sure. You okay there?" 

"The silver is hurting my wrists. It burns me since I'm a full-blooded shifter." I stated as I got an idea. I'm strong enough on my own, couldn't I just yank or transmute these things off?

I pulled myself up, with a lot of repressed screaming mind you, and my wrists were now in front of me. Of course, the dumbasses forgot to keep my hands separate from each other. 

I clapped my hands and tapped my fingers onto the chains, and I changed the silver into a thinner, non-silver, metal. When all that was said and done, I snapped my hands apart and the chains fell off. 

I looked over to Ed with a grin, and he gave me the best thumbs up he could manage with his rope-why did they chain him with rope and me with silver chains?! That's just rude.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps walking near us and I quickly moved to get behind the door. I motioned for Ed to be quiet as I slipped a small knife out of my sleeve and into my hand. The door opened, and Rose walked in carrying a tray of food. I moved behind the door so that it hid me from view in case she turned around. 

"Oh good! You came back to feed me. I wondered when you would!" I heard Edward say, but it seemed like Rose was ignoring him. I guess she's finally dropped the 'always optimistic' act. Good, it was getting on my nerves. 

"I can't believe you," she said quietly, "why can't you believe that there is still hope for those who lost their lives? Why can't you believe that Father Cornello can bring my boyfriend back to life?!"
