Fated Meeting (Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Fanfic)

Chapter 4 - A Very Special Letter

The picture on the side is an example of what Fallon's automail looks like, just imagine the automail being just around the shoulder and the automail being on the right arm, also her leg automail goes to her upper thighs.

Fallon's POV

"Nonononononono No! NO! Fallon!!" I could hear someone's voice yelling, their voice echoing in my head. It sounded so familiar, that voice. Who's is it? Do I know her? For some reason, as I stayed in the darkness, I could feel a sense of deep fear and dread prickling my skin.

Wait.

No.

I know what this is.

When it was.

No.

Not again.

Don't make me relive it all over again.

Please.

Please.

*****Dream Over*****

My eyes flew wide open, only to see the roof of my bedroom above the bakery and my right arm, my automail arm reached out instinctively in front of me. I let it drop back onto the bed before sitting up and wiping the sweat from my forehead. I looked at my alarm clock. Four o'clock. An hour before I usually wake up. 'Oh well, I might as well get up, the sun is already going to rise soon anyway.'

I made my bed and walked over to my wardrobe. I grabbed a pair of fishnet tights, black combat boots and my green dress after getting some underclothes. I quietly clanked into the bathroom, laying my clothes down on the counter by the sink. I grabbed two towels and draped them on the rail by the shower before getting undressed and climbing in.

*****Cheeky shower intermission*****

After I had gotten dried off and dressed, I washed my face in the basin in my bedroom before putting on my sisters cloak, the locket and a pair of leather gloves. I quietly snuck downstairs and out the front of the shop. I started heading down to the square. The square is a place in our part of the suburbs of Central with fruit trees, bushes, flowers and grass in four long garden beds placed in the shape of a square with a pretty, stone water fountain.

I walked down and stood facing the fountain. I bent down and retrieved a large gold coin from the side of my boot before tossing it into the clear waters. I then flopped onto my back. Listening to the gentle splashing of the fountain, I looked at the sky as it was stained with vibrant colours as the sun began to rise. I must've laid there for an hour, at the very least.

I gingerly placed my left hand on my middle. 'Tch. I've got to be more careful next time, I disturbed my torso when I flopped onto the ground.' I let out a quiet sigh. 'I'm such a pathetic person. I was so incompetent that I couldn't even do such a simple task as save my own sister! I don't understand why everyone here is so accepting of a snivelling brat like me.' I shook my head, carefully sitting up.

I began to stand up but I froze. I listened carefully before dismissing it. 'I could've sworn I heard footsteps and some voices just a second ago. Must've been my imagination.' I got up and began to walk briskly back to the backery, the crisp morning air stinging my ears and cheeks. I entered the bakery to find Garret about to enter the staffs lounge.

"Morning" I mumbled unenthusiastically. "Morning Fallon. By the way, Roxl said he has a letter for you from your customers at the garage yesterd-" he stopped abruptly. "What?" I asked. "Fallon, y-you're bleeding." I looked down to see I was indeed bleeding a few inches above my waist. "O-oh, haha, you see... I was uh, dancing in the square a little bit ago, and uh, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going and um, I bashed into a tree branch. Haha.... I uh, thought I just grazed myself, apparently not. Will you pass me the first aid kit please? I'll take care of it."
