After reading the manga when Shou and Nina get murdered by Scar (damn him), I thought about doing a story where Nina lives with Ed and Al. And here we are. Enjoy! Or not, your choice.
Chapter One: The night
"There is no way to return you to your original form." Scar said, placing a hand on the chimera's head.
"Leave...Her...Alone." Came a chilling voice from the doorway.
Scar turned to see a human form, visibly shaking.
"Who are you? Make yourself known." Scar said, never moving his hand.
"The person who is going to kill you if you hurt Nina." Ed replied, stepping towardds the man.
"Mister?" Nina said, looking over at him. "Mister...let's play."
"In a minute, Nina." Ed said softly. "Whoever you are, leave."
"She will remain this form until she dies. It would be an act of God to end her troubles." Scar said, glaring at Ed.
"Don't try to play God." Ed said, his face darkened with anger.
"Play...Don't play?" Nina said.
"C'mon, Nina." Ed said, holding out an arm. "Come with me, and we can play later."
Nina slowly stood up, and walked toward Ed, leaving Scar with a look of slight bewilderment.
"You know there is no hope for her to return to normal." He said, looking Ed up and down.
Ed, meanwhile, had crouched down, and was rubbbing a soft spot behind her ears.
"Perhaps not. But she's just a kid, she needs to be able to at least live." He looked up at Scar. "If you don't mind, Nina and I have to find my brother, and play a game."
"Play?" Nina said, looking at Ed with hopeful eyes.
"Yes Nina," Ed said smiling and turning towards the door. "Now we can play."
He stopped, and turned around. "But just in case." He clapped his hands together, and metal snakes wound themselves around Scar's body. Ed smirked. Then he and Nina walked out, away from Scar, the body of Shou Tucker, to a pay phone outside.
"Colonel? There's something you should see at the Tucker residence."
As Ed hung up the phone, a loud crash brought his attention to a window from the house, and in the darkness, he could see someone running off. He sighed. While he was happy he got there in time to save Nina, he wanted to catch the person who almost killed her.
"Mister," NIna said, rasing her head to one of Ed's hands, " Daddy...daddy?"
Ed said, getting close to her, "Your daddy can't be here anymore. But you can come with me and Al, and I can take you somewhere that you can play all the time, okay? "
"Okay."
"That's right. Now, let's get inside somewhere, or you'll get sick."
A few hours later, Ed was retelling what had happened when he got to the house.
