(Squeals like a fma fan girl at Ed and Al cosplayers)

I FREAKING LOVE YOU GUYS! Thanks for pointing out all those flaws… (Sweat drop) I answered some of the questions asked but I still being nagged about the Al thing…so, I'm updating WAY sooner than I said I would. Just promise to review…pwease?

Also…horselver4evr123 said she liked the title…when I read that I was like…No. Freakin'.Way. I was ecstatic! So I thought I'd mention her. The original title was "With the Cut of a Crimson Stained Ribbon" but I dropped the with…

And to correct myself, the picture wasn't for my fic, but she forgot about it and my story REMINDED her to finish it, so I'm still happy (shrugs)

Keep in minds I'm only BORROWING some of the Twilight traits, not all, some I created, you'll know them when you see them.

So this is for you readers out there who actually care enough to make this 14 year old girl happy by reviewing.

Disclaimer: person: "do you own Fullmetal Alchemist or the Twilight traits?" me: "YE-" (gets smashed in the head with a skate board) "I mean, no…"

Haha, here you go

--XXXX--

"Hunting? That's where you…drink the blood, right?" I asked.

"Yes, we won't be hunting, though, for we will not be able to resist being that weak. Also, we don't react very well when human and animal blood is combined in our bodies." Sara spoke, waving her hand in the air as she spoke.

"Oh." I stated lamely.

Ian, whose hands were in the pockets of his pants, flashed a hand up near his face and glanced at the expensive looking watch and looked at us all.

"It's dark enough…" He said as he lowered his hand back down.

Meike bounced up from her spot at my feet. "This should be fun!"

I snorted. How could drinking the blood out of animals be fun? These…vampires are sick. I rolled my eyes. Vampires!? How did I get caught up in this? And seriously, vampires are real!? I thought that book was put in the wrong section of the library. It was on the middle shelf and I couldn't reach so I got Al…to…

"What about Al!?" I just left him at HQ! I'm a missing person! Oh my fuck. I left Al! He's probably worried sick. What if some body tries to kill him? What if he goes hungry? "What about my brother!? What's going o happen to him!?"

I kinda smiled despite myself. My brother. Back in the flesh. I still had my auto-mail, but I didn't care. I looked down at it. With my new…handsomeness, they looked even more out of place than normal; dirty and dented.

"That's what I was about to mention…" Ian said slowly. "Before we go, you're going to make a call…but as for what's going to happen to him, I'm not certain."

"Where?" I thought I wasn't around humans, or human things…

"Just outside here."

"Where is here? You said it was were I couldn't get tempted…but that's it. You guys are pretty vague..."

"We are on the out skirts of Central in an underground room we built just for these kinds of events…" Sara said.

I was a little relieved. At least they didn't take me to Xing or something…I was closer to Al than I thought.

"I want to see Al."

"No, we won't risk it. We will not let you injure your little brother, we know you would regret it for the rest of eternity." Ian said sternly.

Good point.

"Yeah, you're right…" well, I was disappointed.

"Let's get going…" Ian said as he pulled open a small, heavy door.

I didn't have to duck under the frame of the door and it pissed me off.

We walked up a few dozen stairs. It surprised me how fast we did it and I wasn't even out of breath and my legs didn't hurt at all…

It was dark outside, and the misty, cool air felt good on my skin, but it wasn't cold…

We were surrounded by multi-colored trees and sitting way out of place was a green phone booth.

"Well, isn't that convenient …" I sneered.

"Well, hurry up, keep it simple; don't tell them where you are, what you are, and if you're coming back. Just say you're well and not missing." Meike explained.

I could do that.

I nodded and faster than I thought possible was at the phone booth. The three vampires were now at least a hundred yards away. That book wasn't kidding when they said "they can run so fast they blur."

I opened the door and stepped in and slammed it on accident. I didn't even use any force.

I pushed that thought aside and dialed the number for Mustang's office. He's about the only person I could think to call, since our dorm doesn't have a phone in the room.

I put the receiver up to my ear and it ringed three times before Mustang picked up.

"Mustang." He said in greeting. Not much of a greeting if you ask me though.

"Uh…"

"Yes?"

"Hi…" What else do I say?

"Who is this?"

"Edward Elric, Colonel." My voice hadn't changed and neither had my sense of humor, apparently.

I heard a slight intake of breath and then he screamed at me, "Where the hell are you!? You know there's a search party looking for you?"

"I can't say, I just wanted to let you know, I'm okay and nobody kidnapped me." Well, actually they did, but…

"What do you mean 'you can't say'!?"

"I just can't…just…just…tell Al I'm okay and that…I …love," I hated using that word, people mistake that for the wrong kind of love…, "him and I miss him and to find someone to stay with…I don't want him going h-hungry…" I started choking up at the end and an odd pricking sensation stabbed at my eyes; it didn't hurt but it was uncomfortable. My eyes weren't wet though…

"Ed, what's going on!? You've been missing for four days, and you think calling is going to make it all better!?" Mustang roared.

"It's going to have to. Listen, I have to go, just tell Al that, and make sure you call off the search party, I don't know when the next time we'll be in contact…" it was true; I didn't know and the pricking intensified.

"I'm serious, Fullmetal, tell me, now!" I could hear him gripping the phone harder on the other end.

"Sorry…" I muttered as I hung up the phone as Mustang was still yelling.

I exited the booth and walked slowly, for a vampire, back to the others.

I was about to say something when I heard a heart beat. Close, about five miles away. I could smell it; what ever it was it was mouthwatering…I wanted it…

The others snapped there heads up as they heard it too.

Ian shouted, "Grab him! He wants it!"

Oh yeah, stupid mind reader trying to keep me from it.

All three of them grabbed me but I broke free and clapped my hands together before smashing them to the ground and bringing up a spear. Well, now I know I can still use alchemy, which brightened my out look. Now I get receive and block memories and use alchemy. Not to mention, I was stronger than all the others, I read in a book that all new borns are stronger because they still have their human blood in them. I had the advantage.

I stabbed at Meike and it broke as it hit her torso. I growled and took off, no doubt blurring as I ran as fast as I could.

I reached the thing sooner than I ever thought possible. There it was; the smell, the human.

It was a middle aged man picking berries in the forest. I looked at him for a moment thinking how wrong this is. All logic flew out the window as the breeze blew in my direction, and I lunged at him. He didn't even have time to scream before I grabbed his head and broke his neck. I bit into him then, and let the hot liquid stream down my throat. The burning started to ease and around the same time, I realized I drank him dry.

I made such a mess with him. Blood stained my clothes, hands and hair. I didn't care; I wanted more.

Ian, Meike, and Sara jumped from the trees then and gasped when they saw me crouched over the man. Ian whispered, "Edward, what have you done?"

I hissed and leaped off until I heard several heart beats, but these sounded different.

I followed the sound until I stumbled on a pack of wolves. I didn't pause. I captured one as the others fled. I finished it off and left in search of the others. I eventually hunted down all six and finished them all. They didn't taste near as good as the human.

With my thirst quenched I sat down and wanted to cry. I killed an innocent person. I didn't even think about what I was doing. I just did it. I put my head in my hands and dry sobbed, considering I couldn't cry. I did this for a long time until I heard three familiar voices.

"Shouldn't we kill him? Some of the others we changed went of a killing spree and we had to put them down…" Sara asked

"No, we should have scanned the area before we went out, this one is our bad. And I doubt he'll go on a killing spree; not after what I have planned for next time he's thirsty." Meike said a hint of evil laced in her words.

"What we need to do now his comfort him. I've read his thoughts; he knows it was wrong; the others did not." Ian said softly.

Then I felt a hand on my shoulder and Sara was there and she smiled her perfect smile and told me it was alright and that we should get me cleaned up. It was almost dawn and I needed to go back to the room. We got back to the room and behind my cot there was a small washroom with a shower and a sink.

"Where's the toilet?" I asked.

"We don't use the toilet. They didn't have that in the books?"

"Uh, no. Does that mean we can't eat food?"

"We can, sort of. To blend in, we can swallow food but then we have to cough it back up later."

"Hmh, interesting." I had no idea what to think of that.

I undressed and saw in the corner of the wash room, was a pile of alchemy books I hadn't read before. Well, at least I had something to do now. On top of the pile of books, was a set of boxer shorts, black pants and tank top close to the ones I'd ruined. Then my short back half coat and red jacket were there too, still clean from when I was wearing them last. When they changed me, I woke in my black pants and tank top. My state alchemist watch was connected to the new pair of pants, also.

I stepped in the shower and let the warm water flow over me. Now that I was cold as ice, at normal temperature, any water that had the slightest heat felt good.

I couldn't help but think what Al was doing now and if Mustang gave him my message.

I sighed and shut off the water and grabbed a towel. This place was pretty clean for underground; it even had lights, but we didn't need them. I don't know how they rigged this place up, but I liked it.

I dressed slowly and they made me feel a little more like myself. I left my hair down and put my tie around my wrist.

I walked out and none of the vampires moved they were like stone. And now, looking at them, they no longer looked beautiful to me. Just as normal as anybody else.

But why did they go after me? Why not any other alchemist? Maybe I was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. No, they said they were looking for me back in the tunnel.

I thought about something.

"Was it you guys who have been causing the disappearances?"

"We had to get you out in the open some how." Meike grinned playfully.

"Should've known."

Her grin widened.

"And, hey, I thought you guys were "evil" vampires. You seem pretty nice to me."

"Just because our eyes are red doesn't mean we are all bad. We didn't choose this lifestyle. We want to be good. Sara here was changed by our master and she let her thirst get the best of her when she came to tell us she was okay, even though she had been fore warned. You have no idea it was to pull away from you that night in the tunnel." Ian said.

I remembered the memory from Meike and the feeling of not being able to quit the other night with the man. I shuddered slightly.

"We get very weak on animal blood, we could make it to where we could live off animal blood entirely, but we'd have to isolate ourselves from people and wait for our eyes to turn black before going hunting. It would take about a decade or two though."

I gasped, "A decade or two? How the hell do you think you're going to get me out there in a year and a half!?"

The evil tone re-entered Meike's voice, "I have an idea. It will work, trust me."

Then her voice lost the tone and went back to normal.

"But I think we should visit master first, before that."

I was almost positive they knew the plan and I had I feeling I wasn't going to like it.

Ian and Sara nodded in agreement with Meike's statement.

Sara spoke as she nodded, "We leave tomorrow night."

--XXXX--

THERE. I hope that cleared things up a little more.

I decided Al is human in this.

Muhahahha, I feel evil.

: tell me if you hated it or like it and if you want to dangle ME over a cliff for giving you a cliffy.

It really does make me happy when you review; it lets me know I don't totally suck at writing. :

Thanks for reading, you get a kiss/bitten by Vampire Ed now.

Lynn : )
