Missing Days (Alphonse Elric x Reader)

Facing Your Father

A/N: Thanks for being patient guys! This chapter took me a while because of it's length and importance to the rest of the book and starts me on the path to possibly writing a sequel if it is requested! ^.^

Enjoy!

You didn't know what to say after revealing your much despised and very surprising secret. All you knew is that most likely they would try to kill you for sure. You awaited the statements of rage and shock that you knew would proceed, clenching your fists and avoiding eye contact with everyone else.

But that moment, much to your surprise, never came.

"Wha..." both of the Elric brothers states in synchronization.

Roy gave you a somewhat sad look. Almost as if he pitied you. But is that even possible? Roy? Pity you?

"As I suspected..." Roy noted to himself quietly, although everyone including you could hear it.

"What do you mean? You mean you knew this the whole time?!" Edward remarked, his voice raising.

"Merely suspected."

Edward looks at you. His eyes are piercing. Distrustful. They reflect everything you feared you would see. You backed away from him slowly as his glare intensified.

"So... does that make you like him?! Are you a homunculi?!"

"What?! NO! I'm nothing like him!" You plead, your eyes widening.

You see something inside Edward's eyes. Almost like something clicked inside his mind. Or rather snapped. He lunges at you full force, his metal arm reaching for your neck. Within a moment, he has you pinned to the floor by your neck. You gasp as the air is knocked out of your lungs upon impact.

"Ed! Stop!" Alphonse cried.

"Fullmetal!" Roy and Armstrong said at the same time.

Ed's hands started to tighten around your delicate, fragile neck, cutting off your air supply. You choke and gasp, unsuccessfully trying to get air.

"EDWARD STOP RIGHT NOW!" Armstrong boomed.

Before Ed had the chance to do anything else to you, he was briskly pulled off you by Alphonse, who ended up throwing him to the other side of the room.

"What the HELL is wrong with you?!" Roy shouts, picking the stunned boy by his collar, "She's on our side you bastard!"

As you gasped to regain your breath, coughing, Alphonse gently helped you back up to your feet.

"We can't trust her! She's a homunculi!"

"Not quite..." Roy started.

"Huh?" both you and Ed exclaimed.

"Ed, you might want to take a seat, this is going to take a moment to explain."

Not before giving you a menacing glare, Edward sat on the red couch. Armstrong set his hands on your shoulders gently, as a protective gesture. Alphonse looked at you and Edward quietly.

"You see, (Y/N)'s mother used to be a state alchemist as well. She was known as the Viper Alchemist, being a very swift and effective alchemist. That is, until she was murdered.

Natalie (L/N) moved to the countryside of Resembool for a little while on a temporary leave to raise her three year old child after the death of her husband, who happened to be killed by Envy, something we found out just a little while ago due to evidence arising. Somehow he was able to also kill (Y/N) as well."
