Still here in Cedie's POV
"Alright girls listen up" Tanya spoke up. Emma and myself were in the living room. Emma was working on my automail arm. She said she wanted to make it more durable. I was reading a um... romantic novel (TELL ANYONE I READ THESE AND ILL END YOU, YOU HEAR!).
Over the years I've been able to hold the book with one hand and flip the pages with my thumb with skill. Both of us look up at our teacher. "I have a job for you two" she stepped forward pushing her glasses up and moving her long gray locks over her shoulders. "My nephew's birthday is in a couple of days. So I decided I'd have the both of you go deliver it to him. I have to many things to take care if here you see. " Tanya said and put her pipe into her mouth and breathed it in.
'Where does your newphew live Master? ' Emma used sign language to ask her question.
"He lives in the capital, it will take two days for you to arrive so you should pack your things and leave at sunrise."
"Yes mam" I tried to get up but, Emma pushed me back down.
'Hey! I'm still working on your arm dumb dumb!'
"And Cedie" I turned my head "Do remember to keep your hair up and mind your manners" Tanya nagged. I pouted and my eyebrow twitched. "How will you ever find a husband like this, honestly."
"I don't need any stinking husband. Seriously like I'm gonna let any man tell me what to do? "I complain. Emma smirks. 'Oh sure that's why you're always reading romance novels isn't it?' Sarcastic as always.
My annoying sister and teacher aside, once Emma finished making adjustments to my automail we packed up as any supplies we needed before getting some shut eye.
The Next Day.
After getting breakfast we were out, ready to leave our little blue house in the mountains and make our way to Central, Amestris's Capital.
This is actually our first time going there so it is quite exciting to say the least.
"Let's see. Master gave us enough money for the train tickets and other expenses, not to mention she packed us enough food for about a month."
My hair was in a ponytail and my pink scarf wrapped around my neck. Other than that my attire consisted of long black coat with a hood, black shorts, boots and, a black tank top. Emma wore the same, minus the scarf and her clothing is white.
I always question how she doesn't get any stains but she is quite good at cleaning them.
We traveled down the mountains and off to the train station.
"I wonder what the city will be like. What do think Emma?" I spoke aloud as we approached the train station.
'Probably noisy' she yawned.
TimeSkip to Central brought to you by Ed's shortness.
(Ed: WHO YOU CALLING A MICRO SIZED ANT YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE WITH A MAGNIFYING GLASS!?!?!)
"YAWN... Hm.. Oh! Sis look! " I awoke looking out the window of the train. Emma looked out the window her eyes groggy.
'We're here' she responded fixing her bangs which were messed up from sleep. We gathered our backpacks which contained all we took with us.
I held the paper which gave us directions on how to get Tanya's Nephew's house. It wasn't very far from the station.
'What did Master say his name was again?'
"I think his name was Johnathan.. " I said as we walked up to the door. I had this bad feeling for some reason. I could be paranoid but I kept walking to the door. I knocked on it and a boy with brown hair and green eyes opened about 13 years old.
His eyes reminded me a lot of our teachers.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Cedie and this is Emma. We were sent to deliver a letter to Jonathan Blake."
"That's my dad. I'm Ryan Blake" he said.
"Ryan! Get inside! It's dangerous outside!" I heard another male voice from inside the house.
"Get in!" Ryan pulled Emma and I in.
"The military is taking care of some terrorists or something. All civilians are supposed to remain indoors." The man said then noticed us.
"Ryan who are these girls?" He asked.
"Dad, this is Cedie and Emma they said they had a letter for you."
I took the letter from my pocket and handed it over. "You know my aunt?"
"She's our teacher and she pretty much raised us. I'm surprised we've never met before" I said.
Then we heard crashing coming from outside. It made Ryan jump back and accidently knock over a few plates on the table.
"Oh shit! I'm sorry dad! And those we're moms too... " Ryan looked down.
His father sighed.
"It's okay I can fix them" I said.
"How can you possible do that?! It's shattered!"
I clapped my hands and touched the ground around the broken China. It was soon reasmbled as I arranged the mass back as a whole.
Ryan and Jonathan shocked faces looked kind of like this..... ºロº
"You're you're an alchemist!?"
I nodded "yeah we both are."
Emma took out a pencil and turned into a miniature sized spear.
Ryan and Johnathan looked with awe.
I scratched the back of my head with my left hand. Ryan's eyes widened. "Oh! You're automail. Are you a state Alchemist too? Like the Fullmetal Alchemist?" I cocked my head to the side.
"Who? " I asked.
"He's the youngest person ever to get licensed as a state Alchemist!"Ryan went on.
"Huh. Sounds interesting." I smirked a little.
'Don't even think about it. Cedie you know what Tanya said about those military dogs!' Emma sent a scolding, stern, look in my direction.
I heard gunshots from outside.
And in a flash a man was tossed through the window. He rolled over in front of us. He had a gun in his hand and was about to get up. Taking in his appearance as quickly as I could, I took note of long clawlike fingernails, sharp teeth, and patches of fur here and there. The hell is he?
"Ryan! Jonathan! Get down! " I hopped in front of him as he grabbed his gun and fired at me.
I transmuted a stone column in front of myself just in the nick of time. It ricocheted off and back into the man's head.
I turned back to the guys "Hide okay!" They nodded and made themself scarce.
"Emma come on" I looked at her and she nodded. I crept out looking around and then saw them.
It looked like someone in a suit of armour fighting one man and multiple other guys that seemed similar to the one who attacked us in the house.
And there was one other. He seemed to be fighting along side the suit of armour. It was a kid with long blonde hair and a red jacket. He's a little short so I can't tell if he's younger than me or older. Then something peaked my interest, he had and automail arm and was using Alchemy.
So then is this who Ryan was talking about?
Suddenly I heard one of the men who seemed like these freaks leader's boss laughing and the blonde seemed ready to rip him in two.
I then took more notice of him.
He only had one eye...
