A Tangled Love Story

Chapter 4

(Time skip to the age of 16)

Roy and (Y/n) had grown close together in the last 2 years they've known each other. Hans has relaxed around Roy and is more comforable with him. Roy has just told (Y/n) about becoming a state alchemist, they studied together until the assesment day. (Y/n) met up with Roy and they walked to the command centre to take assesment.

Roy was called in first, (Y/n) wished him good luck. After about an hour, of waiting for her turn, she was called into the arena. A few boxes, a bowl, and some chalk was given to her.

(Roy's POV)

I sat nearby on the bench and watched her, she looked just as nervous as I was

Come on (N/n), you can do this! Show them what I taught you can what that book taught you!

She drew a water circle, a crystal circle, and a flame circle, she then turned around and drew another circle that I couldn't see. I watched closely, watched her every move, she clapped and all the circles activated, there was a ton of smoke and I couldn't see her. I wanted to run over and make sure she's ok, but I couldn't, the rules were that I had to stay on the bench. I could feel all the muscles in my body tense, the smoke finally cleared, I was almost falling off the bench. There stood a pillar of smoke, the boxes on fire, a spear in her hand, and water in the bowl. She threw the spear down and walked over to the bowl, picked it up and earsed the water circle and put down a crystal circle and activated it, the water turned into a gem. She walked over to the Fuhrer and gave it to him

"Very interesting... I'll accept both of you right here on the spot, we could use alchemists like you in our military, welcome to life of being a dog of the military," the Fuhrer said

He told me to stand next to (Y/n), when I looked at him, he told us that we were to follow him to his office, where we would receive our military uniforms and our state certifications. (Y/n) got the title of The Elemental Alchemist, I had gotten the title The Flame Alchemist, for my flame alchemy, (Y/n) and I were promoted to Major and a friend that we met during the training was promoted just a rank under us

((Y/n)'s POV)

I was walking home after Roy and I had become state alchemist. Roy had requested that I walk home with him, since we live sorta nearby, but we still have to take the same routes. I hugged him as we seperated routes. It was a silent walk,  I knew something was wrong, I broke into a run and sprinted home, it was fast run, it would have taken me a long time if I hadn't trained for speed and stamina in the military. I unlocked the door and yelled out.

"Dad? Dad! Dad I'm home! Dad, are you home?" I asked, my first instinct was to draw my handgun, which I did. I swept my apartment. Only to find my dad, on his bed holding a picture of me. Shot dead. I heard a little child's laughter and I ran out my door. I went to the place I could go. I ran block after block, 5 blocks in total. I buzzed for the room of Roy, trying to remain calm. The lady gave me the room and floor and I walked to the stairs, after that first step, I ran up all the to his floor and to his room in a frantic state. I banged on the door, I put my back to the wall and  was almost in tears. Roy answered the door and saw my frantic state.

"(Y/n)! What's wrong? Come in!" Roy shouted pulling me into an embrace and I cried into his shoulder

(Roy's POV)

"(N/n), come sit down and tell me what happened," I told the frantic (Y/n)

"I-I d-don't k-know, I-I c-came h-home a-and it w-was to s-silent,"

I held her tighter, she was sobbing more

"I found m-my d-dad d-dead in h-his r-room, a small c-child l-laughed at me, I got s-so s-scared t-that I-I r-ran h-here,"

"Shh, it'll be okay, I'm just going to call to report him, I'll tell them that you came here out of fear," I rubbed her back and she nodded, letting me go. 

I walked over to the phone when there was a knock at my door. I heard a knock at my door, I noticed that (Y/n) seemed to tense up at the sound. I walked over to the door and looked through the peek hole, to see a... small child. No no no no! This... this can't be happening

"Mister? I saw a girl run into here, I want to talk to her," the child said

"No one's in here but me, go home to your parents now," I told him sternly

I look behind me to see that (Y/n) had the face of horror on her face. I gestured for her to hide away

"I'm sorry, but her father is dead, so she has to as well," with that, the door unlocked and swung open, I fell back and drew my weapon, which happened to be on the nearby table

"You stay away from her!" I growled at the child

The boy raised his hand up to me, I could see his fingers grow. They came right at me! I had no chance to react, he stabbed me in my shoulder, and pinned me down. I did the only thing I could do...

((Y/n)'s POV)

I ran into a closet in one of the rooms, with another escape route. I heard the same child talking, I also heard Roy try to keep him away from me, I heard him scream out in pain and then I heard him give me a command

"(Y/n)! Get out of here! Get to the command centre! Report a B&E! (breaking and entering) Now!" he said

I heard another scream from him and I heard the child coming towards me. I had the window open and was about to jump when something caught my leg... it was the child... 

"Let go!" I cried out

"You have to die anyways, I might as well do it now," the child said

"You won't be killing anyone or harming anyone else! Freeze!" I could hear a male voice... Wait...

"Hughes! Help! In the bed-" I was cut off screaming when the child and hit me in the right spot and I was knocked out
