Anger (a fullmetal alchemist fanfic)

Weirdness

Hola! New chappie!!!
Yay!!!

Angers POV

Woah.... What happened? Where am I?

"Oh no, not again!" I exclaimed.

Not another memory lapse! This sucked! Wait.... I could remember.... I got thrown out if a tavern, met two boys, one.... I had seen before, and the other... Was familiar.

Did I really say what I said? Did I make such a fool of myself last night? Or was it even last night? How long was I out?

"Oh my gosh I am such an idiot, why did I blurt that out?! Oh my gosh..."

I began to whack my forehead with my hand, feeling to make sure my headband was still in place.
Might as well look around, nothing better to do.

I discovered my bags right by my bed and slung them over my shoulders so that they made an x over my back and chest, and opened the door and peeked into the hallway.

I found my boots outside the door and rooted around in my bags for some socks.

After that, I stepped out into the hallway and picked a random direction to go in.

The door to my left opened, but I paid it no attention until I heard a loud "HEY!"

I jumped about two feet in the air, spun around pulled out my dagger, propelled myself toward my 'attacker' and had my knife at his throat within the second.

Then I realized it was the boy from before, the one with gold eyes.

I instantly jumped back.

"Sorry! Don't sneak up on me like that! By the way, sorry for acting so strange last night... I- OH CRAP! Oh crap. How could I have been so careless?! They... Killed them all. I could have asked for help! How could I be so heartless?!" I moaned and slid down against the wall and curled up slightly.

He just gave me an 'are you on drugs?' Look and sighed.

The armored person came out a second later.

"Oh brother! What did you do?" He scolded the boy.

"Come on Al! I didn't do anything! He just started apologizing, and then is like oh I'm so heartless they all died!" He exclaimed.

The armored boy laughed softly and came over to me.

"What is wrong? You haven't done anything." He said in a childish voice.

"Exactly! I did nothing! I just ran away like a huge chicken! I ran and ran for hours!" At that point the blond came over. "I ran until I reached this town, I tried to find a place to stay for the night, some rest would be nice, even if I don't sleep, and that didn't end well. I ended up bumping into this guy, starting a fight, and you know the rest." I said miserably.

"Why did you run?" The blond asked me.

"These people I used to call my friends, they were killing everyone in the town. They wanted me to be like them, but it wasn't for me, they said they wanted me as a fighter, but I didn't know that meant that I would have to kill people. I don't want to kill people, or let them die around me. I don't know why, I haven't really existed for very long in this world, but I know I want to help people, protect them." I replied.

The blond smiled.
"In that case, I guess I can teach you alchemy, my name is Edward Elric, and this is my little brother Alphonse Elric." He said with a smile, holding out his hand to help me up.

I took it and stood.

"Little brother?" I asked. He didn't look younger.

Edward as I now knew him started to shout something about how he was not a pipsqueak who you needed a microscope to see when I stopped him with a "now I understand."

He looked at me weirdly.

I walked over to him and placed my hand on his right shoulder. If I was correct, he would have the beginning of an automail arm there.
He did.

I smiled. "Now I remember you, you were at the gate, so long ago it seems, but, I couldn't really judge the time, it's been a while. You lost a leg... Trying to bring back your mother..." I concentrated " and your brother lost his body. You returned to the gate and in exchange for your arm, you saw some of the truth, you saved him, bound his soul, and now you are both here....." His eyes widened. "You are very brave, to preform something like that at such a young age, you are very powerful." I said, almost in a trance.

I snapped out of it, and realized that they were both looking at me weirdly, Al, just looked as startled as a suite of armor could, and Ed was extremely pale and shaking.

"Sorry! I'm not so sure what just happened! Oh, and while I'm apologizing, sorry for acting so strange last night, I don't know what happened there either, I think I was just lightheaded..."

"How can you know?!" He shrieked.

I just ducked my head and apologized. "Will you still teach me alchemy?"

He looked bewildered, and nodded.

"Let's go, if you learn fast, we may be able to get you qualified as a state alchemist for in Central, but we'll have to see. By the way, you never told us your name."
