The Musical Alchemist: An Edward Elric Love Story (Under Major Editing)

Chapter 20 - Within the books laid Sheska

CLARE'S POV

We arrive at the main Library, and in an instant a old lady pops in front of us.

Me: Hey are you per chance the boss?

She nods.

Me: Do you know the name of one girls that works here? She wore glasses, brown hair, reads the library books... A lot.

Old Lady: Oh Sheska. She doesn't work here anymore, I had to fire her since she wasn't doing her job. Always too busy reading books.

Me: I see well do you know where she lives?

Old Lady: Just go down the end of this road, and take two lefts and a right. The house number is 1445.

Me: Thank you so very much.

Old Lady: Why do you need to see Sheska anyways?

Ed: We just need to ask her a few questions.

Old Lady: I see. Very well I'll let you be on your way now.

We nod as she walks back into the library. When we finally make it to her house we hear people running from behind us. Al turns us around to see our two escorts Brosh and Ross.

Ross: You could at least warned us that you left the building.

Ed: Opps sorry we all forgot.

I innocently smile with Ed as they rolls their eyes.

Brosh: Sure you did. Now why are you here?

Me: We wanted to talk to Sheska.

Ross: Doesn't she work at the library, I met her once.

Al: She did.

Brosh: Oh so that's why you're here.

We nod and knocked on the door. We wait for an answer, but all we heard was a yell from inside. We open the door to suddenly see her buried underneath a ton of books. I was going to help but Ed held me back as Brush, Ross, and Al helped her.

Ed: No.

Me: But?

Ed: Mustang informed us about what he told you.

Me: Darn I was hoping he didn't.

Ed: Why do you think Al has been letting you sit on him.

Me: I can walk.

Ed: Not long though.

I sit on the ground frustrated as I put my hands in my face.

Me: UGH I feel so useless.

Ed bends down in front of me and grabs my hands.

Ed: You are not useless. You helped us find our only chance to find out what those final ingredients are.

Me: But even still.

Ed touches my face with his hand making me go slightly pink.

Ed: Don't even question yourself. You will never be useless, not on my terms.

He gives me his hand and he helps me back up.

Ed: So please Clare, just for now be patient. You'll be able to do stuff again soon enough.

Me: Very well then.

We walk over to the others who are helping Sheska up.

Me: Hello Sheska.

Sheska: The Musical Alchemist?

I nod.

Sheska: OH MY GOD OH MY GOD IT'S A BLESSING TO MEET YOU IN PERSON!
