AN: I had meant to get this updated this past weekend; however, my kitten passed away Friday night after getting really sick so I was preoccupied with being sad. It was hard to say goodbye to her.

Disclaimer: I don't own FMA… sad for me lol

Title: Broken

Pairing: Roy x Fem!Ed, AlxWinry

Summary: Two years after the Promise Day, Roy is the Brigadier General and Al is living with Winry and their kids in Risembol. Ed was missing after that, no one has seen her despite having looked everywhere. An envelope shows up one day and changes everything.

Info: Ed is a girl in this story name Eden; she cannot use alchemy anymore and only has an automail leg.

Chapter 2: Finding her

Ed felt the sting in her wrists as the man used a cold rag to wash off the encrusted blood from her skin. A small whimper left her as he unchained her arms and allowed her to lower them to her lap. She was so weak; she could no longer fight back her capture. At first, she fought, wanting to get back to Risembol, wanting to know if it had worked and Al got his body back but with each passing day her strength lessened. That didn't stop her from wanting to get home but there was little to nothing she could do. The man has removed her leg so she couldn't run and her alchemy was gone. She felt completely useless.

"Now, Eden," the man stated, his voice close enough to her ear that she could feel his breath on her neck. "I gave that horse of yours enough clues that he should be here soon." A small chuckle escaped his lips. "He should be fun to play with, don't you think?"

She didn't reply. In the two years she had barely spoken, he voice was gone from the screaming she did in the first couple of months.

"Shall we have a bit of fun before the boys get here? I'm sure they'll each want their turn with their useless little alchemist," he sneered before she felt him pushing her to the grown and removing the little bit of clothing that she was wearing.

Tears ran down her face as she felt him enter her rather hastily. She wanted to scream but only a whimper came out when she opened her mouth. All she could do was hold herself up on her elbows, barely, to keep her face from scrapping against the stone flooring beneath her. Pain raced through her body with each thrust, rejecting the man's attempt to make this pleasurable for anyone else besides himself. It wasn't long before she felt the man shudder and her body was release to fall to the floor.

"Now, that's a good girl," he said, again close to her ear. "I'll just get you ready for the show then, shall I?" Without dressing her, he chained her arms against the stone wall, this time behind her back instead of above her head.

The last thing she heard before passing out, was the scrapping of the metal door closing behind him and his laughter fading away.

Roy and the team were pouring over all of the photos of the other girls, trying their hardest to find something that linked them all together and a clue on who took Ed. All the scenes looked the same to them; there were very little differences between them all. Laying the photos next to each other, the team scrutinized each one for a difference or anything that would help out the case. They wanted to do everything they could as quick as they could.

"Sir," Riza called, causing all of the men to look up at her. "I think I found something." She took the photos and rearranged them on the desk. "If you move them to arrange like this it spells out 'Rush Valley' and 'Death'. Do you think perhaps she is somewhere in Rush Valley?"

Staring down at the girls, on the shoulder of each one there was a small letter branded into their skin. It was small enough to go unnoticed if not specifically looking for something and that was how it had gotten passed them for so long.

"That's the best clue we have right now," he stated, standing up straight. "Get ready, we're going to Rush Valley and searching everywhere that we can for Eden. We must find her as soon as possible."

It was a few days before Roy and the team managed to get to Rush Valley; they were each dressed as civilians to keep themselves as unnoticeable as possible. Once they were set up in the hotel Riza had chosen for them the team moved throughout the city asking people if they recognized anything weird in the town in the last few years. At first they weren't getting anywhere with the people, most hadn't noticed anything or were too busy to really talk to them. When they stopped for dinner that day they were greeted by one person who was very enthusiastic about trying to help.

"Are you the guys from out of town looking for a missing person?" A young girl asked them as they ate.

"Yes," Roy answered, raising an eyebrow as he sat his cup down. "Who are you?"

"The name's Paninya," she introduced herself, smiling. "I heard that there were a bunch of girls found dead in Central from the few people who come here for automail maintenance."

"We are looking for one," he replied, gesturing for her to take a seat before taking Eden's photo from his photo and giving it to her. "This is who we are looking for."

"Ed? You mean she's gone, too?" She looked up with surprise written all over her face. "How long has she been gone?"

"About two years," Riza interjected, eyeing up the young girl. "How do you know her?"

"Phew, we met a while ago when her and her brother passed through here on their way to Dublith," she replied before leaning back in her seat and thinking. "You know, it was about two years ago that this weird older guy bought out a little shop down the street from here. He brought a young girl with him but no one saw her. He told everyone that it was his daughter but that she was sick. No one has seen her since."

"Where is this shop?" Roy asked, his hopes slowly rising.

"It's a small bakery called 'Becca's Bakes' about four buildings south of here on the left," she explained, sitting up and staring Roy straight in the eyes. "If it is Ed that you're looking for, I wanna help. She did something for me I couldn't repay so now is my chance."

That evening the group sat in the hotel room, planning their next move. They didn't was to endanger Ed any more than they really had to before they could get her out. Besides that, they had no idea what kind of shape she would be in once they did find her.

"Tomorrow," Roy said, "Tomorrow, we will save Ed and bring the good news to Alphonse."

At least, that's what they thought….
