The grinding sound of metal against metal wasn't what woke her up, nor was it the screams of horror, it was the smell of death hanging in the air. She awoke to the most defiled smell in the known universe: the smell of rotting flesh. It hit her nostrils with a smack and she was suddenly wide awake and surveying her surroundings. She was in a dark, dank room with the only sunlight available was the slit in the door where a tray of food was being pushed under. Though she couldn't eat any of it until she figured out where the smell was coming from. She did a quick 360 and soon located the spot. It was a man's corpse she realized, and his eye were literally popping out of their sockets. She turned from the scene as the contents in her stomach came rolling out. Wiping off the left over with the back of her sleeve, she stood up from her kneeling position. Shakily walking, she headed over to the door that was keeping her captive from the outside. She pulled on the handle, making sure her feet didn't hit the food below. Locked. She growled slightly in annoyance than looked down at the still untouched meal. Someone knew she was here. She sighed in defeat and slid down the door grabbing a piece of bread of the tray.
…
"HEY! LEMME OUT!" she had finally given up pacing and started banging on the door yelling like no one's business. She had finished the food and shoved the tray back under the flap and she waited in silence for footsteps. When thudding came by she had started screaming.
"Keep it down!" an unknown voice said, "You Rose Alchemist are being held to draw out the Fullmetal Alchemist,"
"WHAT?! Who the HELL is the Fullmetal Alchemist?!" no sooner than the words had left her mouth then the memories of the blond kid who had such kind gold eyes, that had the worst temper, yet she still had the courage to fall in love with him. Shit. This is bad.
…
"Damn. Where the hell is she?" the Fullmetal Alchemist said to no one in particular as he was pacing throughout Mustang's office. Several concerned eyes were burning holes in his back. Ed paid no mind to them and kept pacing back and forth.
"Fullmetal please go outside before you wear a rut in the floor that becomes bigger than you," as he waited for an outburst about the short joke none came, at least it wasn't shouted. Ed made a strange growling noise in Roy's direction and looked away from Mustang as quick as he could.
"I'm going for a walk," Ed left so quickly no one had time to object to the blonde blur as he raced out. "And no one follow me." Riza and Roy looked at each other knowingly and Riza cocked her gun as Mustang pulled on his ignition gloves and paced after him.
…
"Alright let me out this is getting annoying!" she screamed out into the hallway. This had been going on for three days, and she'd already recognized a pattern. Wake up, throw up from the death smell, eat, throw up again, yell into the hall, eat, try and find another way out, eat, and finally find a place to sleep that wasn't covered with vomit or blood.
"KEEP IT DOWN!" the door jostled violently, and she was thrown backwards and her fall was softened by falling on the corpse.
"EEEEEEKKKK!" she jumped off of the corpse but her shirt was already stained with the man's blood.
…
Ed stopped because he thought he heard a girl scream. He looked around but was about to continue walking when another scream came from the dorms. He took off running hoping he would be in time. He turned a corner when a scream came from an alley he just passed. He turned sharply and hurried down the alley when he hit a dead end. He was at a loss at how he got lost so easy. Dammit I'll never find her at this rate. He was wondering if kicking the alley would alleviate some of his stress, and when he did he heard a scream just as his foot connected. He recoiled and jumped to see what happened.
…
The man stood over her with a knife, "You've been much more trouble than you've been worth for these past few days, I don't think the boss'll mind if I leave a couple of scars on this pretty face," she kept backing up until she hit the wall and fell down. She peeked around his legs and saw he left the door open, but before she could run he grabbed her arm and sliced the knife down her arm.
"Aaaaahhhh! Get away from me!" she shrieks. The guard stabs the knife into her leg and she lets out another scream. He stands over her menacingly and drags her away from the wall and throws her into the hallway.
"Get up and run," He commands, and she doesn't disobey she gets up and starts limping away as fast as she can. She doesn't look back even though she hears an explosion behind her. All she can think about is getting out of this place.
…
Ed was standing over a man that was buried by the rubble he'd just created. The man let out a weak and pitiful groan. Well, at least I didn't kill him. Wait a sec, is that blood?! Ed followed the trail until he saw Jenna lying on the ground passed out. The blood pooling around her leg made it clear that if Ed didn't get her to the hospital soon she was going to die. He ran to her side and scooped her up in his arms, and dashed out the hole in the wall he made.
