Same, But Different (A Fullmetal Alchemist fan-fic)

You're Always Thanking Me For Being kind

Eclair's POV

"Eclair!!!!" Edward called after me. I kept running deep deep into the forest. This couldn't be. This just couldn't be.
"Eclair!!! Stop!!!!" Ed panted. I just kept pushing forward. I had to get away. This was bad. Very bad.
After running more, I felt a strong hand grab my wrist and yank me. I screamed on the top of my lungs as they tried to cover my mouth, but failed because I bit them.
"Leave me alone!" I scream, trying to run off again. But they still held me. After they come into sight under the faint moonlight, I realize, it's Ling. or was it Greed?
"How can I let such a pretty lady like you go?"
"That's it!" I scream, before clapping my hands, and forcing them on the ground, taking Ling with me. The ground everywhere beneath us, with a 1/4 mile diameter uprooted, pressing out like waves, as Ling got separated from me. I then ran with the waves out to him, to clap my hands again and do the same thing again, followed by taking a lighter that I stole from Mustang, and opening it as I clapped, as flames spread about.
"You're-you're-YOU'RE NOT A LADY!!!! YOU'RE A DEVIL!!! A WITCH!!!!" He ran away, for I let him go. Gave him a chance to tell the others I was no Mr-nice-guy.
I then felt a metal hand grab my wrist. Ed had caught up to me.
"Eclair....why did you run...and what did you do...? He panted. He had some cuts. I clapped my hands and used the Purification Arts to heal him. But it was extremely hard. I had to stop halfway. I had overdone my alchemy use.
"I used a couple of strong things. And It looks like I'm powerless once again. And things were just starting to look up."
"What do you mean powerless?"
"Exactly what I said. I can't use alchemy for a day or two. By that time we'll almost be there, and it'll be perfect. I over-used my alchemy and never rested, so that's what happened. I don't exactly have full strength back yet. It takes me a while to heal. It's my drawback from this."
"So that's why you ran?"
"No. I ran because of other reasons. I could probably do a few small transmutations, as long as they're very basic. Like simple fire, water, earth, or wind ones. But I won't be able to change matter states easily. If we get thugged, I can't say I could make it alone."
"Then I'll protect you. You can't go off doing anything alone and hurt yourself. You're like another brother to me." At least it's still the same gender
"Thank you. I just might have to take you up on that offer later." We start walking back.
"So, brother, I can trust you, right?"
"Yeah, and if you don't then-"
"Good that's all I wanted to know"
I at least knew this man trusted me.
