chapter two

It felt odd I was all alone and I could hear a voice calling for me, I didn't know who’s voice it was nore did I see the person. I walked towards the voice in search for who was looking for me but found no one. It felt like a dream but then again I started to hear the screaming voices. No...Not now, not again!! I fleaed from this scene but I couldn't escape I was trapped and scared. "I don't want this! Stop! “I screamed to myself gripping my hair tight and in hope that someone could help me. I couldn't stop hearing the screaming voices, the babies cry, and the children weeping for their parents or for whoever was near them. my thoughts were everywhere I kept thinking to myself *how did I get here?* or *why am I here?* it all seemed so familiar....now I could see but it was blurry.

Nonstop I saw people with light hair and tan skin run past me. One by one each person was running towards a type of shelter as if they were being attacked. It started to become dark again and I saw a massive wave coming forward them. I ran and ran until I got to a stone like structure and hide behind it. Waiting for what could happen next a woman grabbed my arm and pulled me away. She screamed at me in a language I couldn't understand, but it felt like I did... then...a bright light appeared over where we were and she let go of me. I raised my arms up not wanting her leave and then everything went white.

I woke up breathing heavy and hard clutching my sheets tight to my chest. This dream it felt too real to believe, feeling my forehead I could feel the sweat drip down to the sides of my face. I couldn't let the dream get to me so I shook it off and got up from my bed heading for the bathroom. Standing in front of my bathroom mirror I stared at myself wondering now about that dream. "Why do I keep dreaming of the same dream every night? It just doesn't make sense." For a brief moment I thought *what am I? Am I from a place that even exists still?*


Erasing that thought from my mind I started the shower and washed myself up. After my nice hot morning shower I walked back to my room and got dressed for my first day of work. unlike others who work in a store or in a restaurant I work in the military, yea... not the best choice but I only joined because my very good friend Maes hughes kept bothering me to join but he also thought that it would be a great way to improve and show my skills in combat. In my defense I was interested in the fact that I can beat up guys to practice. Other than that I decided to join, I thought it would be fun and plus it would be a great experience.

While I was getting dressed I couldn't help but stare at the uniform, I’m the type to look good but I like to add a little extra to show my style I didn't want to wear a plain old uniform with such dull colors so I redid the whole uniform! it took me a while to figure out how I would pull it off but it actually came out great. I designed the uniform into a nice little dress with knee high boots, a gold bracelet, earing's, an extra pocket just in case, and a cute little chain. I know what your all thinking by now *she ruined the uniform!* or * you monster how dare you!!* Well I like to change it up a bit and also express my creative mind.

While walking to work of course I had people give me a disgusted and confused looks but I didn't care I was happy with how I made the outfit. Before I knew it I was at the gate but I stopped to notice a short blond hair girl and tin armor standing right in front of it. Curiosity crept up my mind and I approached them, tapping the girl I asked "can I help you with something? Little girl?" out of nowhere the blond hair GUY turned around and gave me the most deadliest glare and smile. "What did you call me..." his voice was so deep that even I have to admit it was scary. "I’m so sorry!! I didn't know you were a boy I just thought because your hair is so long and your height-" with that I was cut off by the most furious yell ever. “You are you calling short lady!!!!! I’m tall for my age god damn it!!" with that he gave me a weird yet funny face that showed anger and doubt. the tall armored came up from behind him and held him back from almost attacking me saying in the most cutest voice ever "brother please calm down she didn't mean to upset you." with that he restrained his brother and faced towards me " I’m sorry about that he gets mad easily please forgive him." he bowed towards me in a proper manner and looked at me. "It’s ok I’m sorry for offending him?" I said with a nervous voice and bowed right back him. He was so kind and very polite I never seen a guy in armor be this nice to me I was somewhat happy.

“I’m Alphonse Elric it’s very nice to meet you" he said lifting his hand and waving to me. I smiled and with a calm voice said "I'm please to meet you Alphonse my name is Yue Ryder" I waved back to him and also his brother who seemed very annoyed. Alphonse turned his head to his brother with a grunt noise, "brother don't be rude introduce yourself" he said to the very mad and annoyed blond hair boy. he looked at at me and responded " how does she not know who we are...well" and with that he held up his fist and pointed his index figure towards him and said with a energetic tone " My name is Edward Elric the Full Metal Alchemist!" and grinned an odd grin. "Never heard of you..." I responded with a blank tone and also an expression. Watching the blond fall to his knees with his head down in shame.

Watching him fall to his knees I looked at him with a sincere look and kneeled to him. “It’s very nice to meet you though Edward.” I said patting his back, Edward got up and stood there looking at me “Your new here aren’t you?” he asked staring at my uniform. “is it that obvious?” I asked looking at my outfit. Hearing him chuckle and laugh I looked at his with a curious expression what was so funny? “Listen I don’t know what you did to the uniform but you won’t last five minutes without someone trying to get with you.” No matter how much I wanted to punch him for that comment he was right; all I wanted to do was make it more my style but I just remembered that women were very rare to see in a military. “Well I like how it is and I’m sure I won’t have to much trouble with what I am wearing I mean it’s still the uniform” he stared at me and just sighed “your call then” and with that we started to walk inside. Of course once I stepped inside the first to greet me was Hughes. “Yue thank goodness you made it just in time!” he said with a cheesy smile while patting my head. You know I love Hughes because he’s a good guy and all but I hate it when he pats my head especially in public because I feel like a kid! ”Heh...Nice to see you to Hughes can you please stop patting my head you goof.” Clenching my bag and staring at him he stopped and gave me a soft smile. “You know I’m just kidding with you Yue and yet you seem to always take me seriously.” I smiled back at him lightly punching his arm, see the thing is Hughes was a good friend to the old women who took me in and he would always visit with his wife Gracia to help out or just talk. I remember every time they came over to visit we would have a cup of tea and Gracia would read to me. After hearing the death of the elder women he wanted to take care of me but I denied him only because I felt in the way at the time he was getting married and he also got a house with Gracia. I don’t want to get in the way of their personal life’s so I decided to live alone.

While I was walking with Hughes to the furthers office he couldn’t stop talking about Alica his four year old daughter. I get he love’s his daughter and yes she is adorable but I hate to say it I have exactly 10 photos of her. “Hughes can we please talk about something else? i want to know how you got promoted.” I asked him, he started at me and smiled “of course we can but what do think of alica in this dress? Isn’t she the cutest!” with that he showed me his daughter in a ruby red dress and her hair up in pig tails. Hey at least I tried to change the subject, finally arriving at the furthers office I knocked twice waiting for a answer. “You may enter” a deep and calm voice answered from the other side. Stepping in with Hughes he saluted and asked “permission to speak sir” with a glance he nodded his head. “I am pleased to introduce Yue Ryder.” Saluting to my new boss I noticed the man was wearing the uniform and had many badges on his left shoulder. He had short black hair and seems to be at least in his early fifties. He had an eye patch over his left eye and a sword on his right hip. Watching him walk towards me he said in a gentle tone “it is very nice to meet you Yue Ryder I heard a lot about you.” I was surprised, I excepted him to me more strict and serious but he was a gentle giant. Holding out his hand towards me I took it cautiously and shook his hand “likewise sir” I smiled back. Maybe signing up for this job wasn’t going to be as bad as I thought.

This seems very interesting, with all the different anime legends mentioned so far. I'm really looking forward to reading more of your book and other works.
