It was a cool fall night in Central. Edward walked down the street headed towards his and Al's house they had bought with the money Ed was paid with from being a State Alchemist. Ed felt someone's breath on the back of his neck that was very cold. He stopped walking and quickly transmuted his automail arm into his famous blade turning around to strike but once he was turned around but found that no one was there. Transmuting his arm back to normal he turned back around and continued walking home. Steps were heard from behind him and Edward quickly turned around once more and saw that no one was there once again. Scared, Edward turned back around and started walking faster than before. Hearing the foot steps behind him again but faster Ed quickened his pace only to hear the foot steps behind him quicken as well. Ed started running scared of what was going to happen to him now. Ed went to scream but couldn't when a hand was placed over his mouth and pulled into an empty alleyway. He struggled against the person and tried to hit and punch them but stopped when he heard a very familiar voice.

"Fullmetal, calm down! It's just me! You're fine, I'm not going to harm you." Roy Mustang whispered in Ed's ear. Roy removed his hand from Ed's mouth and let go of him. Ed whipped around to look at Roy. He let out a relieved sigh and relaxed his stance a little.

"Colonel, there is someone, or something coming after me! I can't out run it whatever it is." Ed told Roy a bit frantic.

"Calm down Edward. You'll be fine. Just stay with me." Roy told Ed looking in his eyes sternly. Ed nodded a little and looked away from Roy. "C'mon, I'll take you back to mine. It's a lot closer to us right now. You can call Al when we get there so he isn't worrying about you all night and I'll take you home in the morning so you don't have to walk home." Roy told Ed and then looked out onto the street to see if anyone coming. 'I'm glad he doesn't suspect me as the person following him' Roy thought with a smirk. After walking for a few minutes they reached Roy's giant house that was given to him by the military.

"Wow… You've got some house Colonel… How can you afford it?" Ed asked walking up onto the porch following Roy.

"I don't pay the bills. The bills don't even come to me. They go straight to the military to be paid." Roy told him with a bit of a smirk.

"Oh… So the house is practically free. You can do whatever you want and not get in trouble?" Ed asked curious.

"Not everything Fullmetal. I can't murder someone and get away with it." Roy told Ed unlocking the front door.

"I didn't mean anything like that! Idiot! But can you do anything in the house that is legal?" Ed asked him once more.

"Most things yes, I can. Why do you want to know Fullmetal? Planning on doing something?" Roy asked suspicious of him.

"No. What make you think that?" Ed asked him curious of his thinking.

"It's just the fact that you're asking so many questions about my house." Roy told Ed letting him go in first.

"Oh… Well, you don't have to worry about me doing anything. I'll behave." Ed told Roy walking into the house.

'I'm not promising I won't do anything to you though, Fullmetal. You smell incredible tonight. The scent of fear was so strong before I couldn't wait to sink my fangs into his neck and taste that delicious blood of his.' Roy thought staring at Ed's neck hungrily.

"Colonel? Are you coming in? You're just standing there, the door wide open…" Ed asked him almost concerned.

"Oh.. Uh, yea." Roy snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Ed's angelic voice and walked inside and closed the door behind him taking off his jacket and shoes.

Ed still looked at him concerned. "Colonel? Are you feeling ok? You don't seem like yourself tonight…" Ed asked concern lacing his voice.

"Yea, I'm fine don't worry. Go make yourself comfortable. Do you want anything to drink? I'm gunna go grab a beer." Roy asked Ed politely.

"Uh… Water is fine." Ed smiled a little taking off his boots and coat. He hung his coat up and started for the living room and remembered he had to call Al. "Hey, where is your phone? I need to call Al and tell him where I am." Ed asked Roy from the living room. When Roy didn't answer Ed headed for the kitchen. "Roy?" Ed asked walking into the kitchen. He spotted Roy lying on the floor and ran over to him dropping to his knees quickly. "Roy! Roy, are you alright?! What happened?!" Ed asked him frantically.

"Blood…" Roy whispered his eyes turning into a dark red color. "I need blood…"

Ed looked at him confused and scared when he saw Roy's eye color change from black to the deep red they are now. Roy looked to Ed and grabbed Ed's wrist trapping him in a locked and tight grip. Ed jumped back a little now scared of Roy. Roy pinned Ed to the ground on his stomach and moved Ed's braid out of the way and bent down to Ed's neck opening his mouth exposing his fangs. Ed panicked and tried to get out of Roy's hold grasp but couldn't. Roy licked Ed's neck with a small moan and then sank his fangs into Ed's neck. Ed let out a cry of pain and horror. His eyes were shut tightly and tears leaked from his eyes.

"Roy! Stop! P-Please! I-It hurts!" Ed screamed out in sobs.

Roy had only managed to drink a little before his heart clenched in sadness when he heard Ed's pained sobs for him to stop. He was shocked as well when Ed said his real name and not 'Colonel'. He pulled himself off of Ed guilty and sad. Ed's hand flung to his neck clutching the bite marks scared. He backed away quickly from Roy fearing him now.

"What the hell are you?!" Ed screamed at him angrily crying still.

"Ed, please calm down. I'm sorry, please let me explain." Roy asked holding his hands out in front of him as he slowly inched toward Ed. Ed took a step back from him when Roy stepped forward.

"How can I trust you?!" Ed yelled at him. "I trusted you when you brought me here and now the trust is gone." Ed told him tears running down his face. His knees gave out and Roy rushed forward catching him.

"I'm so so sorry. I never ever meant to hurt you." Roy told him softly rubbing Ed's back soothingly. Ed gripped Roy's military uniform jacket tightly trying to hold back more sobs. "Can I please explain?" Roy asked him.

"Yes… Please explain all of this." Ed told him feeling the strength coming back into his legs he pushed himself away from Roy. Roy felt a pang of sadness in his heart again and the turned grabbing his beer and a bottle of water for Ed. He turned to give it to Ed who refused to take it. "I don't want it anymore. Thanks though…" Ed told Roy. Roy only nodded and put the water back.

'He hates me… Doesn't he? God… I screwed up bad…' Roy thought to himself leading Ed to the living room. Roy sat in his recliner and Ed sat on the couch across from him. "I don't know exactly know how to explain this so I'm just going to tell you right out. I'm a vampire and I thirst for blood. I was born a pure blood. I could've changed you into a vampire but I didn't. I didn't want to put you in more pain. I don't ever change humans into vampires. If I bite someone it's only to drink. I couldn't control my thirst Ed, I needed blood. I never meant to hurt you… Please forgive me. I'm really sorry.. Horribly sorry.." Roy told Ed a few tears of his own leaking from his eyes. He quickly wiped them away and kept his gaze away from Edward. As soon as Edward saw the tears leak and roll down Roy's face he couldn't help but feel guilty.

'Did I hurt him? I-I didn't… I didn't mean to…" Ed thought to himself and bit his bottom lip.

Roy didn't look to Ed or even take a small glance to him and got up from his recliner and walked back into the hall muttering only two words. "Go home…"

Ed looked up at Roy when he stood and walked away. After hearing Roy telling him to go home he felt extremely guilty. He stood and walked after Roy hurriedly. "Roy, wait. I'm sorry. Don't cry, please." Ed told him grabbing his wrist.

Roy spun around yanking his wrist from Ed's grip and pushed him up against the wall harshly. Ed cried out a little. Roy's eyes had turned red once again and stared right into Ed's golden ones. Ed tried not to be scared but he was. He knew that Roy wasn't himself now. His thirst for blood had emerged again. Roy tilted his head to the side and moved to Ed's neck breathing in his scent and his fear. "You're scared of me now, aren't you?" Roy asked and then licked Ed's neck slowly.

Ed let out a quiet shuttered sigh and nodded. Roy smirked and sank his fangs into Ed's neck once again making Ed let out a small cry of pain. Ed gripped Roy's upper arms tightly and squeezed his eyes shut tightly as well. Roy ran his hand down Ed's long and thick braid to try and calm him a little. Ed put a hand over Roy's hand and clutched it a little. Roy smirked a little and took Ed's hand and put it behind his neck. Ed started feeling weak from the loss of blood and held onto Roy. "Colonel… Stop… Y-you need to stop… Please…" Ed pleaded hanging onto him more as he felt his legs weaken. Roy didn't stop and Ed had no choice but to push him away with all the strength he could muster up.

Roy stumbled back wiping his mouth with the back of his hand as Edward slid down the wall holding his neck. Roy kneeled down in front of Ed and held his hands up showing that he wouldn't harm him. His eyes were back to their normal black color as well. Roy reached his hand out slowly to Ed's hand that was holding his neck and removed it. Ed wanted to push Roy away from him but couldn't because he was too weak to do anything. When Roy had moved Ed's hand away from his neck blood was all over Ed's neck making Roy feel guilty. Ed's eyelids got heavy and soon closed passing out and falling to the side. Roy caught him and pulled Ed close to him.

"I'm so sorry Fullmetal… Really sorry…" Roy told him and scooped him up in his arms and stood carrying him to the bathroom setting him on the sink counter and carefully balancing him and grabbed his wash cloth wetting it and carefully and gently wiping the blood from his neck. After the blood was washed away he dried his neck and placed a band-aid over both bite marks he had made on Edward's neck.

Roy carried Ed to his bedroom and laid him on his own bed. He took off Ed's jacket carefully and set it aside and took Ed's hair out of its braid. Roy then tucked him in and smiled sadly feeling guilty still. Roy walked to his doorway and stopped turning around a little and looked at Ed and then down to the floor. He walked out into the hallway closing his bedroom door behind him. He walked out to the kitchen remembering that Al needed to be called.

'It's already midnight… Al must be worried sick about Edward…' Roy thought to himself and picked up his phone dialing Ed's house number.

"Hello?! Ed is that you?!" Sounded Al's panicked voice.

"No, Al, it's the Colonel. I was just calling you to tell you that Ed is with me and he is fine. He meant to call earlier but we got side tracked in talking with each other." Roy told Al half lying to him. "He's asleep now so don't worry about him I'll bring him home tomorrow as soon as he wakes up."

"Oh… Okay… Thanks Colonel. I guess I'll see you later then… Bye…" Al spoke a bit sadly and softly and then hung up the phone.

Roy hung up his phone and slowly made his way to the living room. He sat down on the couch and rested his elbows on his knees and then hid his face in his hands. A few tears rolled down his cheeks. "I'm so, so, so sorry Edward… I wish this night had never happened… Now you're scared of me…" Roy said quietly into his hands. He laid down on the couch tears rolling down his face still as he fell asleep.
