My Alchemic Romance 2
Chapter 2 : The Awakening
"Charlotte?" said girl stirred in her slumber, the once bleeding wound now closed up. "Ma'm?" slowly, Charlotte came to her senses and sat up, with the assistance of the blonde woman adjacent to her. Charlotte looked up at her with half questioning eyes, the other half was partially asleep. "Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye, I was put in charge of you for your time in the infirmary." Riza put out her hand, which Charlottee eventually took. "Charlotte Wintercrest. Thank you." Riza was a motherly figure, she was put on this earth to be a mom it seems like. This was her first time she had ever nursed a child back to health. "How old are you, Charlotte?" Charlotte released her hand and rubbed her eyes, pulling the bed sheets down to see her gash, tilting her head at an odd angle. "Thirteen." Riza smiled warmly "I know a kid your age; he's a State Alchemist."
The curly- headed blonde's eyes shot wide open as she sat up straight and turned to Riza, obviously intrigued "Alchemist? You mean he's that young and knows so much already?" Riza laughed lightly, which was a rarity for her. "Yes. He's very talented." a knock at the door made then both jump slightly, in strode two men, both from yesterday. "I see your making friends with Lieutenant Hawkeye..." a deep voice erupted from he man who held her hand the day before. The more childish man beside him chimed in "Hi! Lieutenant Colonel Maes Hughes, pleased to meet such a beautiful girl like you!" he shook her frail hand venomously before the more broad man stepped in. "And I'm Roy Mustang, Flame Alchemist and Colonel of the Military." his eyes were much stronger than they were yesterday, he was extremely vulnerable as they sewed her up. "Thanks for....saving me Roy." he half smiled, hands behind his back. "How did you find me?" Hughes practically burst out of his uniform, obviously knowing the answer. "You were lying outside of HQ, a bullet wound in your chest. " Roy chimed in, much to Maes' annoyance. "It's amazing you survived with that bullet so close to your heart." now it was Riza's turn to add to the pot of curiosity already brewing. "How did that happen anyway?" Charlotte looked dumfounded, she was clueless as to what had happened, then it hit her. "I, I came to this gate, a huge, grey gate, with an eye in the center." She sped up her description. "and all these arms and so many pictures..... " Roy looked down to her, even though her knew how incredulous it sounded, it seemed to be the truth. "As for my wound....I don't remember." she grasped the bed sheet with both hands "I just wish I knew.". Riza returned to Roy'a side, she felt most at home there. "I think I know someone who can help you. You just stay here and rest, in about an hour I will have Lieutenant Jean Havoc show you to your apartment." Charlotte looked up with tear-filled eyes, and leaned up, embracing roy's neck. "I can't thank you enough." her warm tears dripped down his neck, instantly becoming cold. "You don't need to."
"So, you got a hug from Mustang?" a tall, blonde man turned his head around to talk to the girl behind him, a cigarette hanging on the precipice of his bottom lip. "Yeah, he saved my life after all. He held my hand too." Havoc chuckled "Wow, he doesn't get close to many people, his best friend is probably Hawkeye, and that's not saying much." they continued down the halls, turning into doors that needed special codes and whatnot. "Well, this is your room. If you need anything, there's a phone and the Elric Brothers are right next door." he shook Charlotte's hand, at a much slower pace than Hughes. "Thank you Havoc." She closed the door and gazed around her apartment, it was decorated extremely well, everything played off one another. From the blue drapes, to the violet bed spread. She was left with only one question though, "Who were the Elric brothers?"
