The Frosted Fire Alchemist

Road of Hope

"Okay, Miss. Black your free to leave the hospital. Just come back in a week to get your stitches removed." The nurse stated making me nod. Kaley, Ed, and Al waited for me on the other side the room. Kaley was telling them stories while laughing furiously I smiled leaning against the counter. She was coming with us to Resembool which made me a little happy. Well not a little, very. She seemed to get along with the boys just fine. Ed turned to me with a smile. I smiled back with a tiny wave. "Oh, you and your boyfriend are so cute." The nurse happily replied.

My eyes widen and I jumped a few feet in the air. "BOYFRIEND!?" I asked loudly with a blush covering my whole cheeks. And back to my emo corner.

The nurse stared at me with a confused look. "Was it something I said?"

"Oh no. Not at all. She'll be fine in about 5 hours." Kaley replied now walking to my and dragging me out. "No more dragging around! It's time to go to Resembool!"

"B-boyfriend... She called him my boyfriend..." I stuttered out as the hospital was disappearing from my sight. "Why would she do that? I don't even know her..."

I'm looking down now that it's over

Reflecting on all of my mistakes

I thought I found the road to somewhere

Somewhere in His grace

I cried out heaven save me

But I'm down to one last breath

And with it let me say

Let me say

Hold me now

I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking

maybe six feet

Ain't so far down

Hold me now

I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking

maybe six feet

Ain't so far down

I'm so far down

'Creed

One Last Breath'

Chapter 6- Road of Hope

We waited in the cart for the horns to go off. "Are you sure you want to ride a train?" Kaley asked. I sighed bowing my head. Not this again. Every time I go somewhere she asks me if I'm alright with going on a train. She acts as if the accident will happen all over again. I've grown stronger and if it does happen again then I'll be ready.

"Yeah Kaley I'm fine." I answered.

Kaley sat next to Armstrong while I sat next to Ed. There was a loud knock making me turn and see Hughes. Ed rolled the window out and poked his head out. "Lieutenant Colonel?" Ed asked.

"The folks at the Eastern Command Center are a little to busy today. So I came to see you off instead." Hughes greeted.

"That's nice Hughes but one quick question. Why is the Major with us?" I asked glancing at Armstrong.

"For protection." He answered as if it was painfully clear. "What would happen if Scar came after you two again? You both aren't in shape to fight."
