Full Metal Alchemist: Ice Alchemist

Chapter Five

Ice In The Desert City

Faye lee stood in the large ball room that was beautiful decorated for this event. Since the disappeared of the Furher the millirty gave power over to the Parliament who were standing on the other side of the room now talking to high ranked officers. Faye never wanted to be here, countries were attacking them left and right and she would have rather been on the front line right now then standing at some party, but this was a party to honor the heros of that day and to honor the new parliament. Some called her a hero for her quick actions that day others called her a monster for escaping her deadly injured and now didn't have a scratch or bruises on her and Brigadier General Mustang was hurt so badly, She had heard it would be a while before he returned to the millirty. Even now she could hear some millirty men standing in the nearby corner whispering to them self about her. She shook her head looking around the room, she was dressed in a dress millirty top and pants. She was the only female waring pants. the millirty women were wearing short skirts and the civilians were wearing long lovely dresses of all color and styles. Tho she got crap about waring pants at this gathering she wont ware skirts she couldn't not with her automail leg.

She leaned against the wall watching several people waltzing on the dance floor. Then there was a flash of some kind she found herself in the same dance room, it was filled with people dressed in tuxedo and fine old dress. She came down the steps dressed in a long white old looking wedding dress. A man's smiled, he was handsome with shoulder long dark brown hair pulled into a ponytail and bright blue eyes. He reached out saying something but it seemed muted she couldn't hear what he was saying as she took his hand and they went to the dance floor and he wrapped his arms around her and they danced close to him the light from their wedding bands shinning in the bright light of the room. He put his finger under her chin lifting it to look at him and leaned down kissing her. She tried to move away but she came to see she had no control over her flashback. It felt so real to her like it happened to her. The whole thing when blurry and then suddenly she was back at the hall in her time she gasped softly jumping feeling a hand on her arm. She turned seeing a young officer standing there looking scarred, an envelope  in his other hands. "Ma'am are you alright?" Faye wiped the tears that was forming in her eyes away. "Yes I'm fine." He swallowed hard handing her the envelope with the seal of the parliament on it and walked away. She sighed, She already knew what they were. They were her orders for her next assignment. Her thoughts went to that flash back. It seemed so real, but she's never been married...what was that.... (1) She shook the thought back and broke the seal opening the envelop and took out the orders. She was to report to Ishbal Project to help rebuild their city. This was the order she had been waiting for. She had put in request after request with the Furher to rebuild the Ishbal town but he always told her their wasn't enough manpower or time to put into that kind of thing. She had grown tied of battles and fighting and this would be a good break for her, something different. She was support to leave as soon as possible.

Faye moaned softly covering her eyes looking up at the hot sun high above her. She had always hated the desert, her powers didn't work that well in the desert and it was way to hot for her. She sighed looking around as soldiers ran around rebuilding homes, businesses, and different buildings in this desert town. She smiled softly seeing a truck pull up and two men got out and went around back opening the tailgate. She walked over to the truck as the men helped a old lady down off the truck, Several other men and a few women followed. All dressed in desert clothing with red eyes. "Well at least one of us is cool" she mumbled moving the collar of her uniform trying to cool herself.  Faye brushed some hair out of her eyes. "Welcome ladies, Gentlemen I am Lieutenant Colonel Faye lee Darkclaw the person assigned to make sure that your town looks just as good as it did back then or better. If you need anything, anything at all please don't be afraid to come talk to me about it." Their were smiles as Faye went overtothe truck helping a young boy dressed in black long sleve shirt under a dark grey shirt and a black bandana that covered his light brown hair. She smiled softly as she let him go, she had to turn away a moment and get control of herself. He looked a lot like Angel did back before... She shook her head she swear she had gotten over this. He was gone and nothing was bring him back. She took a deep breath before turning back helping them down out of the truck, untill she heard a Lt. calling for her. She turned walking to him looking at the plans in his hand pointing where she wanted it the building over. She heard a gasp and turned seeing a old man standing beside her now poking her. She raised a eyebrow looking at him.

"Lilly?"

She turned lookingat him over not knowing if it was her he was talking about her, he couldnt have her name wasnt Lilly was never her name but he was looking right at her looking her over his eyes wide. "You havent aged at all Lilly.....but..but you died...your here but you were killed ten years ago." Faye pulled him aside taking him behind a finished building to talk to him alone. "Who is Lilly?" She asked her voice small. He looked at her strange look on his face as she leaned againt the building brushing some red hair out her eyes.

"You...sh..she was my sister-in-law...I'm sorry you look just like her..its uncanny you two could have been twins.."

She watched him a moment then stood strighting her uniform. "I get that a lot." She smiled at him. "I'm Faye Lee" She put her hand out to shake him hand but he just walked past her and into a finished building. She shook her head. People here still hated the millirty tho they were trying their best to make up for what happened. She sighed going about her work.
