REVIEW, YO!

ENJOY!

Edward lied in bed that night with glazed golden eyes. Time went by slowly for the blonde boy as the sun began to rise. He arose from the cold bed and walked over to the window. With golden eyes, he looked down at the city below, gazing into the sun.

"Edward," he heard.

The boy dared not to turn around, for he knew who had called his name in such a way. In the clean window he could see his caretaker approaching him with the same smile as the night before. When he didn't reply, Tucker called his name once more.

"Edward."

The blonde turned his head to look up at the taller man with defying eyes. "What?"

Tucker glared, poking holes into the boy's eyes as he did so. "You should go to the Colonel today. He called earlier and said he wanted to see you at eight."

Looking down, Ed turned his full body around and looked for his clothing. With gold hair covering his eyes, he put on a white shirt. Before the short alchemist could leave the room, he was grabbed roughly by the wrist and again, he didn't turn around.

"You do remember our deal, right?"

Ed simply nodded silently with a gulp and jerked his arm out of the ginger's grip. He left the room with silent footsteps to awake the younger girl that resided on the other side of the house.

The blonde's slow footsteps turned into an almost run as he made his way across the mansion. He turned the corner, his breathing heavy. With his back against the wall, he slid down the flat surface until he reached the floor, beads of sweat running down his forehead, his hair covering his eyes. Tears pricked and golden eyes and just as they were about to fall, Ed heard a voice.

"Little big brother?" he heard.

The blonde nearly gasped in surprise. He hadn't noticed the young girl was so closed to him.

"Are you okay, little big brother?"

The alchemist stood abruptly stood and smacked a bright smile onto his once pale face. "Of course, kiddo! Now, go sit on the couch, while big brother Ed get breakfast ready, okay?"

The dark-haired girl nodded enthusiastically and called for her dog to keep her company. Before the dog followed her, Alexander stopped at Ed's feet, whimpering.

The twelve-year-old smiled. "I'll be fine," he lied. Reluctantly, the large dog walked away from the preteen and to the young girl that sat on the couch.

Edward started walking once again on his weak wobbly legs to the kitchen. The boy was in a dream-like daze.

He cooked a breakfast for Nina and her father with eggs, bacon, and toast. He dared not to be in the house any longer than necessary and quickly locked the bathroom door to take a shower before (regrettably) leaving the house.

There outside stood a man with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes, a uniform covering his body and a cigarette hanging between his lips. The man smirked at him in amusement as the kid walked up to him.

"Hey, shorty-!"

"Save it, Havoc!" Ed exclaimed as he entered the car.

With a small chuckle, Havoc walked around to the other side of the car into the driver's seat and drove away from the forsaken house.

"So, kid, how's the military treating you?" Havoc asked.

"It's fine, I guess. The missions are a little long," the blonde replied, his golden orbs staring out the window.

"Well, you can't say you weren't asking for it, kid," the man replied, blowing smoke out of his mouth.

The young alchemist was silent, pondering the man's words and replaying it over and over again.

"You know you deserve it, Edward."

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

The rest of the ride remained silent as the teen saw no reason to let the conversation go any further from there. The golden boy stared out the window with somber orbs and a thoughtful look that graced his features aged him.

The rain poured down onto the streets and onto the car window. Edward watched as the objects in the rain seemingly turned to blurs as they passed them.

Finally, the two reached headquarters and hurried inside. The two blondes hurried up the stairs and into the Colonel's office where the other subordinates greeted them. Of course, Havoc simply sat down and sighed before lighting another cigarette between his lips.

The youngest of the group entered the Colonel's inner office and there stood a blonde-haired woman standing next to a ravenous man with his back turned to the boy.

"Good morning, Edward."

The young Elric turned towards the blonde woman that stood next to the Colonel at his desk. Her almond eyes glanced over the twelve-year-old and noticed his slight limp as he walked towards the desk.

"What happened to your leg?" she asked.

Ed's golden eyes widened and looked down, "I fell off of a ladder in the library yesterday."

Hawkeye walked over to him with concerned eyes. "Maybe you should sit down, or have someone look at it-!" she tried to say, extending a hand to the boy's shoulder.

The blonde alchemist flinched away with a forced smile, "No, Ms. Hawkeye, I'm fine." Ed looked towards the Colonel with a glare before speaking, "What do you want? I gave you my report last night."

"Well, Fullmetal, how did you expect me to read your atrocious handwriting if you're too small to see over my desk?"

The younger alchemist fumed as he face turned red with embarrassment and anger. "You know what?" he asked angrily. Ed took a deep breath before sighing, "I don't have time for your bullshit, Colonel."

With that the teen stormed out of the office and before he knew it he was walking home alone in the pouring rain. He walked furiously away from the building. He didn't bothered paying attention to the droplets that blew into his face as the wind blew against him. No, instead Edward wanted to desperately go home.

Home to where?

His short legs stopped and he pondered where to go. He couldn't go back to Tucker, no, not now. He couldn't go back to the wretched home where that bastard touches and taunts him, but he had to.

Nina.

With a kick in his step, the Fullmetal Alchemist rain through the crying skies and a new motivation. He ran several blocks before he finally reached the Tucker Estate. He entered the house cautiously looking around.

"Nina! Alexander!" he exclaimed.

Not a sound was made and he made his way through the house to find no one was home. The house was hollow and empty and his footsteps echoed throughout the hallway. The only room left was the basement and he entered the room without hesitation.

"Hello, Eddie," the blonde heard. Edward felt a shiver go up his spine, but regardless glared at the man that faced away from him. "Wouldn't you like to look at my new creation, Edward? A talking chimera…"

All hatred had been lost in his golden eyes and a small glimmer of excitement soon turned to misbelief. "No you didn't," he stated.

"Oh, but I did."

Tucker stepped aside to reveal a caged animal. It was a golden dog mixed with some other creature and its brown hair trailed down its back and tail. It looked over at the twelve-year-old. "See, him, that's Ed-ward. Can you say Ed-ward?" Tucker asked way a parent would ask a toddler.

"Ed-ward," it said in a morphed voice.

'It really does talk!'

Edward stood in amazement as the chimera continuously spoke his name without trouble.

"Big Brother?"

The boy's eyes grew wide in realization and anger. "Tucker, where are Nina and Alexander?"

The ginger man simply smirked and chuckled as the boy pinned him against the wall. "I don't understand why you're angry, Eddie," he said. Ed only punched the man with his automail fist. "You're just like me, you wanted to see what would happen, what you could and couldn't do. You saw the chance to test yourself and you did."

"No, I didn't! I'm not like you! You, you messed with someone's life!"

"Messing with someone's life?" the Sewing Life Alchemist laughed. "You tried to revive you own mother just so you could prove that you could do the forbidden and survive it! Is that not messing with someone's life?"

Growling, Edward simply punched the man against the wall and floor. "I'm! Not! Like! YOU!" he exclaimed as assaulted the man.

"Fullmetal!"

Ed felt a pair of arms come under his underarms, rendering his flailing fists useless.

"Shou Tucker, you are under arrest for the murder of your wife and acts of inhumanity towards your daughter," the Colonel said in a condescending tone as Lieutenant Havoc handcuffed the middle-aged man and took him outside to the car.

"Let me go! LET ME GO!" the preteen screamed as he flailed miserably. As soon as he was released he ran to the whimpering chimera locked away in its cage. "N-Nina," he muttered.

"Can we play now?" it asked in pleading tone.

The boy only gave it a fake smile. "We have to play some other day." Nina whimpered as she lied on her side panting heavily. The blonde simply robbed her belly as she continuously whimpered and cried out in pain.

"Shh, I know."

Yeah, that's kind of it. Sorry for the delay! Had a lot of school stuff and emotional stuffs and other stuffs and I'm working on my other stories but it'll be a while (probably).

REVIEW! REVIEW!
