Roy Mustang's sister

Chapter 10

Author's Note: Hey guys! I'm back! I know, I know. You guys were sure I was dead. Sorry about that, school sucks, but I finally managed to get some time (Sick day) to write a bit more! Hopefully I can keep writing in between coughing my lungs out.

Also, I now have a facebook thing. I don't really know what stuff to post there, but you guys can recommend stuff, tell me what your favorite TV shows are, or the like.

Plus, I now have a YouTube. I know. I have no clue what to do with it yet. I'm thinking that I can narrate other fanfictions or just books in general, so if you have suggestions, I'd love to hear from you! I'm told that I have a good singing voice (When I'm not coughing my lungs out), so I might? Do that at well.

And I have no clue if you guys like me enough to even talk to me, so you don't have to, I won't mind. But I love hearing from you guys when you do talk, and you guys can talk to me about (Mostly) anything if you need someone to talk to.

Anyway, you guys are probably reading this going "Oh my gosh! When is she going to shut up!" I'm shutting up now. But, if you have any recommendations for me, tell me in the comments and I'll try to get it done!

Stay awesome guys! (I need a new catch phrase don't I?)

Later that night we were running through darkened alleyways, Edward chuckled, "Yeah, sure we weren't."

We had snuck away from our bodyguards to go to the fifth lab, since I didn't want my dog getting hurt, I dropped by my mother's business and asked her to keep him for a while. She agreed and Rogue stayed behind sulkily.

We made it to the 5th lab, we peeked around a corner to see a guard on the gate, "Hmm, a guard posted at an unused building." Edward mused.

I nodded, "That is suspicious. Do you think he's just standing around, taking a smoke break?" Ed shot me a low look and I grinned at him.

We backed away from the corner and Alphonse asked, "How do we get in?"

Edward grinned and replied, "We could make our own entrance."

Al shook his head, "They'd notice the light from the transmuted reaction."

I sighed, "There has to be some other type of entrance, like a window or a vent. Something we could use to get inside quietly!"

Ed looked up and grinned at Al, oh great.

Al threw Ed up to the top of the cement wall, then me. At the top, we unraveled the barbed wire and lowered it down for Al to climb up, then we leapt off the other side. We ran as quietly as we could to the building; we came across a doorway blocked with more barbed wire and wooden boards.

"They're not taking any chances are they? Not like anyone could break into an 'abandoned building' anyway." I said dryly.

Ed thought carefully for a moment before walking over to a vent. "There." He said, pointing. The entrance was small, Ed and I would barely managed to fit into it, but Al wouldn't be able to.

Al boosted me up and I removed the wire block, then climbed inside. Al picked Ed up next and Ed said, "Al, you need to wait here."

Al asked, "You two are fine on your own?"

Ed sighed and I moved further in, "Whether we're fine or not isn't the issue, you're too big to fit."

We began to crawl further and I heard Alphonse whimper dejectedly, "It's not like I asked to get this big." I snickered and kept crawling.

Behind me I heard Edward curse, "Damn, it's even tighter than I thought. We couldn't get through this part if it was regularly sized, lucky we've got small bodies."

I froze, a laugh bubbling up my throat. I forced myself to be quiet, though not before letting out a snicker.

Ed seemed to realize his mistake too because he yelled in agony, "OH NO! I just called myself a tiny little pipsqueak!"

I laughed and he growled, "Shut up! You're small too!"

I laughed again, "Yeah, your point? I'm a girl! I'm not the one who's supposed to be taller than 4'0, or have broad shoulders and tons of upper body strength that makes you look like a guy instead of a child."

He grumbled, "Just keep going."

When I found a hole, I turned over and kicked the cover away, then dropped into the room. Everything echoed in the dusty old hallway, I walked forward so Ed could drop down too. As soon as he did he looked around suspiciously, "There are lights on." He mused.

I nodded, "Thank you captain obvious."

He scowled at me, "Not currently in use, who are they trying to fool?" I opened my mouth to respond and he glared at me, "Don't."

I huffed and shrugged. "This is it all right." He continued. We began to walk down the hall.

We walked into a huge room with a circle in the center, it appeared to be a transmutation circle, just a lot bigger than I've ever seen it before. "So this is what it is."

Edward turned to me, "I bet this is what they use to transmute a philosophers stone."

A voice on the other of the room spoke, "Yes, that's right."

Ed and I turned towards it, "I don't know who you are kids, but you sure figured out a lot by just looking at a transmutation circle."

I frowned, "We're just good like that. Who are you?"

"The one in charge of guarding this place from curious brats." The figure walked into the light, it was a man clad all in armor. "But let's just say my name is number 48."

"My orders are to get rid of any.... Mutts that get inside. Try not to take offense." He continued carelessly.

Ed and I looked at each and alchemy crackled from out fingertips. Ed's arm turned into a sword, and I transmuted a staff from the ground.

"All right then, try not to get offended when these mutts kick your ass." I sneered at him.

The metal man tilted his head, then rushed at us. "Alchemists, are you? This should be fun then."
