AN: Here's the second chapter and I hope you enjoy it!
The Stone Wolf Alchemist – Thank you for your review you were the only one nice enough to review! This should fill you in some.
Saiki saw the man walked through the doorway and immediately sank down into her seat. She wished she had the power to just disappear but unfortunately for her and the other two, she didn't. Although she could create an illusion that no one was sitting there if she concentrated hard enough and the two didn't talk. The thought made her narrow her eyes. What would she say?
This guy is hunting me and if you shut up long enough for me to create an illusion in case he walks back here to make him believe we're not here and you might live as well.
'Yeah right' she thought bitterly as he walked closer and she sank further down.
Ed looked over at Saiki curiously.
"What are you doing?" he asked slightly raising an eyebrow.
She didn't answer him and only stared at the approaching man. Ed turned his head to look at what she was looking at and saw the man walking towards them then looked back questionably at Saiki. He was just about to reach them when one of the train personnel walked out and stopped the man from discovering them asking him to return to his seat. Saiki blew out a breath she didn't realize she had been holding and pulled herself back up in her seat.
"Did you know that guy?" Ed asked.
Saiki turned her head away.
"Saiki?" Al asked.
"He must have followed me onto the train…' Saiki thought.
"Are you gonna answer?" Ed asked sounding impatient.
"It's none of your god damn business!" she replied angrily.
Ed gulped when he saw her eyes flash from blue to a raging red then back to blue.
The rest of the ride was quiet, Ed and Al sat without making a sound and Saiki only stared out the window at the passing scenery. After the train came to a stop Saiki quickly took off running as fast as she could to get off.
"Hey wait!' Al said.
Ed and Al both ran to catch up to her. As they jumped off the train they saw her being held against the train by…
"It's that same guy!" Al yelled.
Saiki struggled against his grip but to no avail instead he grabbed her burnt hand and smirked evilly.
"Playing with fire have you Saiki?" he said with that smug smirk.
"You know what they say, play with fire and your going to get burned!" she replied grabbing his arm and burned his flesh.
Al managed to tackle the man away from Saiki and Ed grabbed her by the arm and dragged her with him as they ran. Al was able to catch up with them.
The man stood up but made no advance to go after them. He'd get what he wanted from her soon enough as he held up a bloody dagger.
'You won't be able to escape me for long, Saiki. It's only a matter of time' His voice ran in her head.
Saiki shut her eyes tightly and shook her head. She wanted him out of her head; she nearly stumbled as Ed continued to pull her with them. They ran into an alleyway and stopped to catch their breath. Saiki leaned against the wall letting herself slide downward to sit down and reached up to the side of her neck and felt the wet liquid that was blood. It wasn't that big of a cut but it was deep enough to bleed.
Ed quickly tore a piece of his red coat off and put it on her neck making sure to apply pressure.
"Al, stay with her I'll go get help." Ed said letting her take over and ran out of the alley. Al kneeled down beside her.
"Don't worry brother will be back soon" Al said.
"I'll be fine" Saiki said as she struggled to get up but was kept down by the dizziness.
"You shouldn't try to get up." Al said.
It didn't take long for Ed to come back with someone that could help. Though her bleeding had stopped and was somewhat clotting Saiki was on the verge of losing consciousness.
"Don't worry you'll be okay" a calm and soothing female voice was all she heard before drifting off into the darkness.
Saiki woke up hours later when the day had turned to night. She was laying a bed; she lifted a hand up to her neck to see it had been bandaged as well as her hand. Saiki looked around the room, which felt strangely familiar to her, but she didn't know why. The door opened and the two Elrics walked in relief fell over his face and she was pretty sure his brother felt the same way. A woman also joined them.
"Glad to see you have awaken." She said with a smile.
The woman walked over to her with a bowl of water and a rag. She dipped the rag in and wiped her forehead gently.
"You might not remember but you put up one heck of a struggle" she said with a laugh "you'll be fine though"
"Um…thank you…" Saiki began to say.
"Aimee" she replied putting the rag in the bowl. She stood up and gave her a smile before nodding to the two boys and leaving the room. Saiki sat up in the bed and looked at the approaching boys.
"His name is Xaviar" Saiki said already knowing what they were going to ask.
"Why's he after you?" Ed asked.
"You've seen why he's after me…" she answered
"But that's not all you can do is it?" Al said she simply shook her head.
"So he wants to use your powers" Ed stated
"Sorta…" Saiki replied, "He just wants my powers…"
"You mean…" Ed started
"He has a dagger that can pretty much strip me of my powers and in the process…" She trailed off but Al finished.
"He'd kill you" Al finished.
"Well then Al and I just won't let that happen" Ed said looking down at the ground.
"No, it goes farther back than that…he isn't just trying to kill me, he'll kill anybody who gets in his way" Saiki informed
"We can take care of ours-" Ed started to boast.
"No! He killed my younger sister right in front of me! As well as my mother!" Saiki yelled looking down at the white sheet that covered her and gripping them tightly.
Ed and Al didn't say anything, they couldn't. They could see tears damp the sheet.
"They were killed because of me, anyone who even gets near me is in danger" she said.
"We don't care…we'll help you any way we can" Ed said.
"And we're pretty stubborn too so it'll do you no good to try and talk us out of it" Al added.
Saiki looked at the two and sighed in defeat. She didn't like the fact that she had to be stuck with them but there was no point in arguing if they were going to still come along anyhow. Feeling as well enough she was going to get Saiki got out of bed. She put on her shoes, grabbed her coat and headed towards the door.
"I hope you know what you're getting yourselves into" she said with a whisper.
