This one is a bit rushed... sorry. I've been working hard to get to the next chapter, where I have more inspiration. Please comment I want to know if you like it.
Never surrender- Skillet
Biritani P.O.V
I slipped out of the room and let Kit explain what happened, to Ed and Al.I went into Roys room and froze...
°~°{ Do you know what its like when
You're scared to see yourself
Do you know what its like when
You wish you were someone else
Who didn't need your help to get by
Do you know what its like
To wanna surrender
(Chorus)
I don't wanna' feel like this tomorrow
I don't wanna' live like this today
Make me feel better
I wanna' feel better
Stay with me here now
And never surrender...
Never surrender}°~°
Roy was holding a gun to his head, possibly about to pull the trigger. I closed my eyes tightly and then shot him the most deadliest glare I could manage.
"What. In. The. HELL. ARE YOU DOING!"
"B- Biritani."
"YOU HAVE FIVE SECONDS TO GIVE ME A GOOD EXPLANATION! OTHERWISE I'M KICKING YOUR ASS!" He put the gun down on the bed slowly, and met my gaze. I've never seen him look so sad before. I sighed.
"The dental results came in and the police called. It was kiko who was killed. Kits just fine. She showed up right before they called." He stood to run into the other room but I grabbed his collar as he was trying to get passed me.
"Oh ho ho no. You didn't give a reason." He gulped.
(Off screen violence... yeah its that bad.)
One week later...
Kit P.O.V
I tilted Roys chin to the side to get a better look at the bruise along his jaw.
"Well good news. I think its starting to go away." He groaned in annoyance.
"Hey its your fault... you shouldn't have pissed her off." I stood up and went to my desk, dug around in the drawer a bit and tossed him a few painkillers. Breda walked in with a half-eaten hot dog in his mouth, and put a file on Roys desk. Riza was right behind him and started explaining the file. I walked around to look over Roys shoulder.
"At first we thought it was a series of suicides, but then we got information that someone was behind this... strange thing, they apparently have selected targets, because the killings have been done in alphabetical order... everyone of them had been holding strange letters when we found them."
"Strange as in?" I asked.
"It was just a peice of paper that they recieved from their mailbox, and it had the first letter of their name on it. Thats all. No return address. No big give away of hand writing. Just a letter. The next letter should be j. The furhur wants us to figure this out before it gets out of hand." She handed me an extra copy of the file.
"Thanks." I looked at the clock and grabbed my coat.
"I gotta go, I told an old friend I'd meet them at the bar."
"See ya." Said Riza.
Riza P.O.V
Once Kit left the room I turned to the colonel.
"Do you by that?" I asked seeing if he would catch on.
"What?" I sighed. He was such a moron.
"She's going on a date." He gave me a questioning look.
"What are you... wait Kit? your kidding right?" I shook my head.
"Go to the bar tonight and see for yourself." He looked a little hurt.
"Why... If she loves someone else I shouldn't..."
"She doesn't love someone else. She's just gotten tired of waiting for you."
Kit P.O.V
"PLEASE DON'T LEAVE MEEEEEEEE!" Cried sam, Suki's brother. Suki was going into surgery so I agreed to try and calm down her overprotective brother. He wrapped his arms around my waist and cried into my stomache... in the middle of the bar. I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and held him eye level.
"I've tried to calm you down, reason with you, and tell you everythings gonna be alright, but my patience has worn thin!" I pried lose of his grip.
"Tell Suki good luck." I walked out into the cold.
"Hmph, night already?" I walked on down the street, when I noticed someone was following I turned quickly down the next road and then turned again down an alley, and waited. When they came into sight I tripped them, and put my boot firmly on their chest. When I saw who it was I smirked a little.
"Roy if you're gonna play stalker you need stealth on your side."
"Owwww" he groaned. I laughed.
"So do you think I can take care of myself, or do I have to beat your ass to prove a point?"
"POINT TAKEN! POINT TAKEN!" He screamed.
"I don't know sir, I do believe it would be funny." Said Riza coming up behind him.
"What are you guys doing?" I asked.
"The furhur asked us to spy around for anyone suspicious." Said Riza.
"Come on Riza you had Roy follow me dispite the fact I could've killed him waaaay to easy." His eye twitched.
"Y- you... WHY IN THE HELL DIDN'T YOU WARN ME!" I lightly smiled and helped him up.
"Sorry Roy, but next time be careful when you're following me. Do you guys need help?" Riza nodded.
"I need someone to babysit the colonel while I go check up on Havoc." She dashed off before I could even answer... this feels too... staged. I could tell by the look on Roy's face he thought the same thing. After she left Roy started walking down the street.
"So wahat exactly are we looking for?"
"The furhur wanted us to keep an eye on this part of town since a lot of bad things have been happening." I yawned.
"Well it is the bad side of town for a reason." He glanced back at me and turned down a dark alleyway.
"I thought you would still be at the bar."
"Got bored." I sighed. We were alone and he didn't seem in the mood to talk with me. I glanced down at the ground. There was a trail of water flowing through the alley... no! It hasn't rained in days. I crouched down and touched the liquid.
"What's wrong?" He turned around. I brought it to my nose and smelled the sickly metallic scent of blood.
"What the hell? Its blood."
"What!" He bent down next to me to get a closer look.
"Theres so much of it!" I gulped.
"Come on Roy lets follow it in both directions to see where it leads."
"No!" He said firmly. I gave him a confused look.
"With your luck you'll end up getting yourself killed! I can't handle that again."
"R-roy..."
"Kit I-"
"COLONEL!" Yelled Riza running up to join us. He shook off what was about to be said and turned to her.
"What's wrong?"
"Havoc found a girl half dead a block away so I came to get you." He nodded and started to follow her. I tried to creep off and follow the blood path, but Roy grabbed my arm.
"Oh no you don't!" I yelped as he pulled me back.
"We'll come back tomorrow during the day." I growled something at him that could get me fired but he ignored it.
It was one in the morning when he drove me home. I lazily crawled out of the car and waved good bye. He waited until I was inside the house to drive off, but I wish he had stayed. Because what was in my livingroom was more terrifying than anything I've seen before.
°~°{ Do you know what its like when
You're not who you wanna' be
Do you know what its like to
Be your own worst enemy
Who sees the things in me
I can't hide
(Chorus)
Make me feel better
You make me feel better
You make me feel better
Put me back together!}°~°
Biritani P.O.V
I sat alone on the couch in our hotel room.
'Stay here!' Ed had told me and ran off with Alphonse.
"I'm not just gonna sit here." I sat up and picked up the phone. I dialed Kits number.
"H- hello?" She sounded a little shaken up."
"Hey Kit is everything okay?"
"Biritani... get down here please."... click. I wasted no time, I ran the whole way to Kits house. She answered the door.
"Whats wrong?" She stepped to the side and I saw an officer standing over a body distributed on the couch. The entrails of the human was all over the floor, and spread along the couch.
"W- who was it?" Kit didn't answer, she just turned away.
"Kit! Who was it damn it!" At that moment she turned to me with tears in her eyes and yelled at the same time Roy came into the door.
"Naomi." She looked furious but I could see the tears welling up inside her.
"Nao... mi..." I grabbed her by the collar of her shirt.
"Naomi! What about Ken? What about Jessi?"
"I dont know. dammit Biritani!" Roy grabbed my wrist.
"Calm down Biritani."
"She was... she was only a year younger then me." I was crying.
"Biritani," Roy said. "Please calm down." I glared at Kit.
"What about that promise you made us? To both of your 'beloved' cousins. Huh." I could tell that she was in a cold sweat.
"Biritani please don't -" she started to say. I swatted away Roys hand, and walked out.
Kit P.O.V
-Flashback-
Naomi was visiting a week after our family was killed. Both Biritani and Naomi approached me shyly.
"K- kit what if they come back?" Asked Naomi. My heart ached. I put a hand on each of their heads.
"I promise, I'll do everything humanly possible to keep you safe."
-end-
I watched Biritani leave. Roy looked down at me then grabbed my wrist. My hand was in a fist, and blood was dripping down.
"Calm down, please." I had clenched my fist so hard I was bleeding? Without thinking I burried my face in his chest, and held onto his shirt. Before I knew it I was crying. I felt his hands slowly rub up and down my back in a comforting motion. It reminded me of the last day I was at Ishval.
"Come on you can stay with me tonight." I nodded and we walked to his car.
Roy P.O.V
When we got to my house the sun was starting to rise, and Kit had fallen asleep during the ride. I carefully picked her up and carried her bridal style into my house. I carefully laid her down on my bed. Then something came out of her jacket and attacked me. I grabbed for the fur ball that had a firm grip on my collar. Kit sat up and yawned. I held the creature by the scruff of the neck and glared at it. Kit smiled lightly.
"Sorry Roy, the ferret snuck into my jacket. She's scared of blood." The ferret bit me and I dropped it.
"Tari cut it out!" The ferret stared me down a moment before sniffing me. Then looked at Kit.
"Ferrets have to be one of the smartest pets I've heard of." She said.
"Tari here wakes me up in the morning, and sometimes she even chooses my clothes." I gave her an unbelieving look.
"Do your stuff Tars." The ferret ran over to my dresser and jumped into a slightly open drawer. She disappeared for a few seconds before a smaller drawer, above the one she went inside, slid open and she hopped out with a white buttonup shirt and brought it to me, then she went back to the dresser and brought me my favorite pair of pants. She started to go back but kit grabbed her.
"Do you believe me or do you want her to go on."
"Ok, ok, ok the rat is smart." The ferret made a little huff and turned her back to me. Kit yawned again. The ferret curled up on her stomache after she laid back. I laid down on the other side of the bed and closed my eyes. It wasn't long before Kit rolled over and burried her face into my back. She was asleep already. I felt the ferret crawl inbetween our bodies and curl up, enjoying the warmth. I finally fell asleep.
When I woke up I realized I had my arms wrapped around Kits waist. I lightly smiled and pulled her a little closer, then I felt something bite my hand. I yelped and let Kit go. She opened her eyes groggily.
"Roy? What's wrong?" I grabbed the ferret by the scruff of the neck. She lightly laughed and sat up.
"What time is it?" She asked yawning. I couldn't get my mind off of how cute she looked half asleep and her long hair tangled. She looked at me curiously. Then I remembered she had asked me a question.
"Oh ummm..." I looked at the clock on my side of the bed.
"Eight o'clock... P.M."
"Oh hell! Sorry Roy gotta go I told Suki I would be at the hospital at seven!"
"HOSPITAL!"
"Hmm? Oh no, not for me. An old friend is having surgery today and I'm the one who has to make sure her brother doesn't do something stupid." That calmed me down a lot. She grabbed the ferret.
"See ya later Roy!" She yelled as she ran down the hall. I sighed.
"I guess that means no fun for me." I mummbled.
Kit P.O.V
I hate lying, but that doesn't mean I'm bad at it. When I lie I don't feel like myself, and I espeacially hate lying to Roy. I went back to the alley where we first saw the small stream of blood. It had been washed away? It was highly possible that they came back through here with water to clean up their mess, but it was completely dry. I walked one way I remembered the blood going down, and saw a splatter of blood. Then five feet away, another. A trail? A trap? Either way it didn't look good. I turned a corner and froze. Armor lay scattered in the alley and flesh was everywhere.
"Ed! Al!" I felt a hand on my shoulder and nearly screamed in alarm when I noticed it was Ed.
"Wha!"
"We used a chimera and steel so they think we are dead. Don't tell Biritani until we are able to find out their game plan." He said quickly.
"I made sure the body was too mangled for dental records. We need a place to stay." He didn't waste time.
"Fine but you dont make a move until I get there. I grabbed a piece of paper from my jacket and scribbled down an address.
"I'll get time off as soon as possible and we can disscuss a game plan. The old lady who lives here was my alchemy not! Do something stupid." They nodded
"Now I'm gonna hunt these guys down and try to save their next victim." I didn't tell them who I thought it was because then they would jeopardise their own plan.
I was almost positive.
They had Biritani.
°~°{I don't wanna feel like this tomorrow
I don't wanna live like this today
Make me feel better
I need to feel better
Stay with me here now
And never surrender
Put me back together!
Never surrender
Make me feel better
You make me feel better!
Stay with me here now
And never surrender...}°~°
I carefully inched along the outside wall of the building and climbed jnto the vent. It took a while before I found Biritani. She looked... defeated. I rested my body on the grate and shifted to get a better look... and my pocket watch falls through the grate. It landed infront of one of the kid nappers... the one in charge it looked like. He bent to pick it up but instead he touched the ground, and using alchemy, caused the grate to give way. I looked around. This was barry's old butcher shop.
"Kit?" Biritani whispered. I met her eyes. They were red from crying. She had seen Ed and Als fake remains.
"Kit!" Yelled a familiar. I turned and saw Naomj running to me.
"Wha- but... but..."
"Simply someone we made to look like her. We figured we'd lure you here and blackmail you."
"You sick bas-" he grabbed my neck.
"Now tell me your precious granny's secret."
"I don't know what you're talking about." He tightened his grip.
"Don't play koy with me."
"I'm honest I don't kn-know."
"What if..." he dropped me.
"Let the small one go and put the other two in... the processer." I guessed that he ment the giant automatic saw for cutting the meat. I gulped. Naomi was let go and she ran to me. I slipped her a peice of paper with Roys address on it.
"Tell him we're at barrys butcher shop." I whispered. She nodded and clearly understood that I was sending her to get help. He pulled me back and tied my hands together. I didn't dare fight back considering one I was out numbered and two Biritani was stillin shock about seeing Ed and Als grabbed her and tied our hands togther using chains and tied us to the belt that went straight to the saw. They turned it on and left.
"Biritani...?"
"... I 'm sorry." She whispered.
"I shouldn't have gotten mad at you... you couldn't have known about Naomi, espeacially with how much we see her."
"No I should've protected you two better... Granny's secret... they clearly set this up so that we could escape... they want answers, and they think I'm going to lead them to her." I shook my head.
"That will be a last resort."
"So you really didn't know what they were talking about? I shook my head." The saw was close.
So close...
I closed my eyes.
