"We Just Wanted" (FullMetalAlchemist Watty Award Winning Fanfic)

2

Letting go of El I gently dropped her into my mothers arms. Her sweet face so innocent I couldn't help but smile at that.

The house shook. It swayed back forth as if some unhuman monster was trying to topple it over , but we all new that that was not the case. It was my childish mind that was over reacting. though the house did sway but not as much as I thought it did.

The candle went out as if someone blew if out. If you replayed the memory over and over again, your mind would automatically form the sound of some one blowing it out.

..Fwoof..

The darkness made me uncomfortable in an unknown way. as if some one was slowly gnawing on me it made me cringe and want to move out of my spot.

The rain came to an abrupt stop as if the whole time some one was the controlling our lives and just made our hearing go out.

"Darling lets get some rest" my mom preached as she unknowingly proved my theory of our loss of hearing wrong.

I stayed quiet for a moment and nodded as If I said : "one moment mom "

The rain started again this time harder than before. i drawn to it so my ears perked up. but I soon covered them having the feeling of insecurity.

There was a loud bang of thunder causing me to jump and splash some water. I walk slowly slushing the water with each step i take , as my eyes where stuck to to the only portion of the stairs visible.

The stairs where blue.

Stumbling like a drunkard I try to walk faster and when I arrive a the first step I look up one by one as if I was counting the number of steps there were. I see the door at the top with a window , it was the same one that led out side and also the one that didn't have a snug fit to the frame of the door.

the cracks and the window were both illuminated with a blue light, it made me feel weak. as if some one was taking my energy witch as a child I had an abundance of.

i felt the world crumble and reconstruct itself over and over again as if there was a pulse; an invisible pulse. I felt everything melt down as i blink in slow motion in tune to the pulse that i felt. when my eyes peel open I realise im a still looking at the window.

I didn't look like I was looking at the same window I was looking at earlier, this one had a dark figure of a body . I could quite make out the facial details . i needed to get closer.

I took a step up and blinked. All I saw was darkness when I opened my eyes, there could only be a few variables, #1 I went blind do to the strange light, #2 the the strange light went out and all that's left was darkness , or #3 there's something in front of me.

Me being the backward person I am I test variable #3 and reach my had out to find I'm frozen in my spot. my eyes are the only thing that can move. with all my fright I grabbed enough strength to frown and grit my teeth.

I felt a sharp needle like finger caress my face. it went across my cheek and traced my chin. I shivered and clenched my whole body. at this point I could feel the waves of a adrenaline coarsing through my body right now. this was my most frightening thing that ever happened to me. all those other -Im-about-to-fall-off-a-chair kind of scary memories looked like a big wuss.

The whole time this"thing" was touching me with its needle like claw, My eyes were avoiding eye contact. I finally tried to look this thing in the eyes-at least what I thought was the eyes and when I did I couldn't look away.

I could feel ruff tentacles with thorns digging into to my wrist. even in the heat of the moment I couldn't scream, I was just a helpless child wishing to be a good girl knowing that bad things happened to good people.

Instead of yelling my head off, screaming or trying to wiggle out of its grasp I just dangled there in its grip. I could count the number of thorns tearing into my skin.

'That's gonna leave a scar'

Being held up by just my arms I felt a new pressure hold up my legs, now instead of dangling I was being held up by all 4 appendages.

I felt the thing that wrapped around my leg rip my stockings that were soaking wet. That when it hit me... my sister picked out these stockings and my mom bought this dress.

Mom. Elle . mom. Elle

Panic now took over

'Where's my family!'

"MO-" I yelled only be stopped
