Chapter 4
She would lay Ed on the sleeping bag, pulling his shirt off as he laid on his stomach."Oh hush up Ed you'll be fine. Just don't be negative." she stated bluntly, tossing his shirt to the side. She would keep the fire going and would glance at Al every now and then."This assignment has went down the bloody hole.." she grumbled, sitting there Indian style beside Ed as she ran her fingers along his bangs."...we need to get that damn man to the town and once we do...I'm leaving.." she murmured, looking up at Al once more." It would be a lot better for you and your brother if i wasn't around."
Al shook his head "I don't think so...we've been through a lot we don't have any family really...its hard being us constantly in danger...brother is trying to fix his mistake.. And you come and you actually kiss him.." He started cleaning the wound gently as he stitched the wound turning him over as he put the antidote in his mouth keeping his mouth closed making him drink it "There he should be fine now." He got up "I'm gonna patrol the parameter and make sure everything is fine before getting more firewood." He turned and left. Ed was moaning softly as he looked up at her "Nessie..?" he was sweating breathing lightly "Tell me your not leaving." he whispered closing his eyes "stay" he said as he sank into a light sleep.
She gave Al a look and would soon just watch as he walked off./You'll just hate me if you knew what I was./ she thought to herself then blinked, peering down at Edward. Biting her bottom lip she sighed lightly and tilted her head."...fine...I'm not leaving..." she mumbled although she didn't promise him. She refused to make a promise she couldn't keep. Sitting back she rested her arms on her knees and peered around the campsite with a numb look in her dark hues. He groaned waking up again the pain shooting up his spine some "Fuck that hurt a little bit...And you said your staying?" He nodded and sat up some feeling slightly better "Good.. he moved some laying his head in her lap closing his eyes coughing lightly "You know..i think i could have did better today...that knife in the back is my main point if you know what i mean." he murmured chuckling lightly "You fight well" he murmured "You know I'm rather curious why none of the humunculi are attacking one of them is usually bugging the shit out of us but none have attacked so far i wanted to think they're behind this assignment after this man but so far i haven't been able to deduce.." She gave him a strange look.'' great...the poison had already gotten to ya...i didn't fight at all." she whacked his forehead lightly then rolled her eyes, tensing some." Dont talk about the humunculi please..." she peered around, her mark burning a bit but she would simply ignore it for the time being."I just want to get this idiot to the town so we don't have to worry anymore.." she trailed off then shook her head as she sat there, waiting for Al to return."now sleep or I'll put you to sleep.." He smiled some "I'm cold i need my blanket" he murmured as he tugged at her some "Please?" he Looked up at her as Al walked back into camp sitting down putting wood on the fire "You two should get some sleep..i dont sleep so ill keep watch." He nodded at them as Ed smiled some "Yeah you sleep to now cmon cuddle with me please? If you do i will sleep" he growled "Im short i need someone shorter to cuddle with."
She gave him a look then sighed and laid down next to him, relaxing as she did. Closing her eyes she yawned and drifted off to sleep.
He put his hands around her and fell asleep as well..The next morning he was up and stretching moving around doing a couple of cartwheels and such "Everything checks out. Hey Nessie its time to get up." he poked her some when he managed to catch the little mark on her back. He didn't say anything merely backing up some smiling "We got a long trek we might be able to make it if we trek harder today don't you agree Al?" His brother nodded "Of course brother but we are gonna have to do more than walk more like walk fast." Ed chuckled "I'm sure no ones got a problem with that."
She grumbled some and moved.''hn.'' she put her arms over her face as she laid there.''you suck.'' she mumbled and got up slowly yawning.'' eh lets get the idiot to the town.''
He chuckled and walked over kissing her forehead "Alright lets get going...Watch out!" -A long pole like weapon shot out of the woods straight for Her back as he jumped on her as it grazed his hair before grazing Al's shoulder "Hahahaha nice dodge kid." Lust and Envy stood there watching them, Lusts finger came back as she looked at them bandits appearing in the trees at her sides. "Well take him off your hands." Ed clapped bringing the blade out of his hand again "You aint getting shit!" he growled "Al, Nessie lets kick their ass!" Lust and Envy laughed as envy pointed "I wouldn't do that." Gluttony had a hold of the man drooling on his head "So i suggest you back off." Ed laughed We don't need him as bad as you." Envy growled and jumped over at him as they start throwing fists the bandits charging as Gluttony slowly backed away with Lust into the woods. "Nessie! don't let them get away!"
She would tense and stumble forward but would soon shoot a displeased look to them. They made her rather nervous but as ed yelled for her to stop lust and gluttony she just stood there.
Envy laughed "She stop us? She cant hurt us shes just like us." Ed stopped and looked at her "What does that mean your not..are you?" he stopped short as Envy punched him in the face dropping him to the ground as he jumped a few paces away. Ed looked up "Why didn't you tell me..?"
