Just Like Me (Ed Elric x Reader)

Chapter 21

You checked everything one last time. Missing one thing.

You went upstairs and grabbed a kitchen knife. You went down stairs again.

You cut your arm and let the blood drip down onto the pile of ingredients. Finished.

You back up to the edge of the circle. The ground is cold against your jeans. You press your hands against the edge of the circle.

You close your eyes and concentrate. Soon the circle starts glowing a bright blue.

Out of the silence you hear the sound of the door upstairs opening. Crap.

“(Y/N)? I’m back!” Ed’s voice comes from upstairs.

You realize he’s going to find you and you close your eyes. You concentrate harder, the circle grows brighter.

“(Y/N)?” You hear the basement door opening.

The bin of elements swirls and the things inside create a sort of tornado in the bucket. You start to feel light headed and dizzy. You snap yourself out of it and keep concentrating on the circle.

The sound of Ed coming down the stairs finds your ears. You glace up to see him at the bottom of the stairs, starring at the scene in front of him.

“Stop! (Y/N) stop!” He yells at you. You look to the circle, it’s working! You close your eyes, tears coming from them.

You hear Ed’s footsteps coming towards the circle.

A sharp pain hits your left arm. You ignore it and push forward.

The pain gets too much for you to ignore it anymore. You look to your arm to find it disintegrating. You take your other hand off the circle. But it keeps falling away.

Your fingers are almost fully gone when Ed reaches out to you, “(Y/N)!” He yells, reaching for you.

You reach for him too, but your hand is gone and you fall, blacking out.
