Full Metal Alchemist: Ice Alchemist

Chapter Seven

Faye woke up with a start gasping for breath and sat up founding herself in a large bed in a dark room. She rubbed her face wondering if it was all a dream. She stood weakly yawning and walked towards where she thought her bedroom door was but ran into a dresser she stubbed her toe cursing loudly she felt around and found the light switch turning it on. The light blinded her for a moment. Still blinded she walked over to a mirror dresser in the corner she could have swore she'd never seen before and looked into the mirror. She gasped loudly looking at herself, she had to reach out touching the glass lightly. Her normal waist long red hair was cut to her shoulders and her green eyes were now a deep blue.

"Come to bed sweet pea."

She turned quickly seeing the bed she thought had been empty had a blond man in. She stumbled back againt the dresser knocking over a vase that shaddered on the ground. The blond blue eyed man sat up with a start. "Whats wrong?"

"Who...who are you..."

He stood going over to her dressed only in a boxers. He wrapped his arms around her. She was dressed in a white nightgown."Whats wrong love?"

She tried to pull away from him. He looked in shocked at her. "Faye whats wrong."

He reached up grabbing her shoulder softly. The bedroom lights shinning off his wedding band. She looked down seeing that she was waring a matching rings. Faye had to go sit down on the edge of the bed he looked at her. "Wh..who are you where am I?"

He looked at her and went and sat beside her pulling close to her. "honey your having another episode."

"Episode?"

"I'm going to get the doctor." He stood leaving the room. She looked down at her hands at the wedding band in total confusion. He returned a few mins later sitting beside her she was looking into her hands she moved and realized something the small ting that she normal heard when she moved quickly from her automail wasn't there. She looked down touching her leg lightly. The warmth of her bare skin not the feeling of cold metal. She rubbed her leg lightly she couldn't believe it she had two legs again. She looked around the room but she felt as if she was in the wrong body looking out at the world. He sat beside her not know what to say. They sat in silent for the longest time. She looked around the room trying to figure out where she was. The room was a plan white color with a dark brown dresser, what looked like a mirrored makeup table the top covered in small glass bottles of every kind, smaller boxes and other things sat beside the bottles. In the corned hanging on a gold hook on the wall were two dark looking uniforms with a weird looking symbols almost like a Z with another on its side over top the other. She was about to ask him about them when there was a knock on the door that made her jump. He stood and stepped out of the room leaving the door open a crack. She could hear him opening the door and a small voice said. "Sorry  to wake you up this late but the doctor is gone and she's having another episode again."

She was still sitting on the bed when the man returned now followed by a young man with short blond hair. He was maybe an year or so younger then her with stunning golden eyes. He was dressed in a crisp button up white top brown pants and a dark brown overcoat. From the medical bag he was carrying he was a doctor or a doctors aid. He came over to her kneeling in front of her, sitting his oversized bag on the bed beside her.

"Can you tell me who you are? Where your at?"

She looked at the dark haired man standing againt he door jam then down at the blond kneeling in front of her.

"I am Lieutenant Colonel Faye lee Darkclaw, a state alchemist from central. I don't know who you are or where I'm at but if your holding me hostage...."

The dark haired man snuffed at that. "She has total lost her mind." He looked at the blond who had paled his mouth hanging open. "You alright Elric?"

Now it was her turned to looked shocked she moved her head from the dark haired man to the blond quickly.

"Elric? Your one of the Elric brothers?"

The other man laughed now. "Of course wife he's been taking care of you since you got sick."

"Sick?"

The Elric stood now lowering his hand to help her stand. "I'd like to take her back to the clinic, start her on treatment as soon as possible."

Faye stood weakly but her legs felt weak and she fell back onto the bed. Elric looked at the man in the doorway. "Han I know you have to leave early tomorrow I can take her..Her legs are getting worse...don't worry I'll take good care of her."

He nodded turning disappearing down the hallway, Elric turned looking at her. "Get dressed, We'll wait for you downstairs. I'll explain everything I promise." He started to turn to leave he stopped turning back. "Oh by the way  I'm Alphonse Elric."

She smiled weakly at that. "The younger brother I've heard of you...."

 He laughed "good things I hope."

With that he turned and left the room closing the door behind him. Faye thought about going out the widow to escape into the night. But she figured if this was a dream that she might as well go with it till she woke up.It took her a while to find something to ware. She ended up waring a dark blue blouse, black skirt and brown boots. She wasn't used to waring a dress she barely wore them because of her automail leg but now she had both legs it felt good to ware one.

As she walked down the stares a wave of dizziness seemed to overwhelm her and she felt like she was going to throw up. She stumbled on one of the stair and started to fall forward. She tried to gripp the the railing for support but she missed and started to fall forward. She closed her eyes perpareing to wake up or the pain, but either came. She felt strong warm arms arounds holding her closed. She thought it was David at first and maybe this had been one horrible dream, but when she opened her eyes she found her face inches from the blond Alphonse Elric. Faye could smell pepermint on his breath. Her own checks felt like they were on fire she was blushing so hard. She could see his checks were flushed as well. They stood there looking into each others eyes till they heard Han cough loudly, he stood at the bottom of the stairs looking at them coldly. Faye stood weakly pretending nothing happened and He helpd her down the stairs and outside. It was cold outside, cold enought to see her breath. She shevered hard but not from the cold but at the city she was looking at. It wasnt central or any town she had ever seen before. It was war torn, building bombed and falling apart, most abanded. She wasnt home anymore and this wasnt a dream.

"What happened here? Am I at in gate?"

Alphonse saw her shevering and took off his coat slidding it around her shoulders as Han watched from the door a cold look on his face. Al helped her into the car now and she sat down looking out the window. It wasnt till the car was away from the house that he anwsered her.

"Your not in the gate...your beyond it.."

She looked over at him from the window.

"Beyond it...how..."

He shook his head "I dont know...I dont understand this...only a few people have ever been able to go throught the gate...How did you get here?"

"Maybe because I...I'm a..." she stopped looking down at her hans in her lap.

"A what?" Alphonse asked looking at teh pretty red head but she just shook her head. "nothing forget it..."
