Ch 6

lol srry for the late update, writers block, along with laziness, and waiting for a guy..._ anywho... here is ch 6! hope you like it.

i do not own FMA or any of its characters, except Jennifer.

He continued to stare at me.

"Well, its getting late…I should probably get going." I said as I slowly crept towards the window. Scar took a step in. Al and Ed were suddenly in front of me blocking Scars path.

"Jennifer! Go now!" Ed screamed to me. Scar advanced.

"Out of my way Fullmetal, today's your lucky day; I'm not here to kill you." Scar said as he continued to stare at me. I stared back. Ed clapped his hands and blue light illuminated the space around him. When it was gone his automail arm was a blade.

"Go Jennifer! Go get the Colonel!" Al pleaded. My legs felt like rubber, but I had to do something. I got up and ran towards the window.

"Wait. It's the second floor!" I pleaded. A crack appeared in the wall below the window and then there was an explosion. I covered my face as debris scattered everywhere. I could hear movement behind me and small explosions. When everything settled I looked up to see the wall destroyed and just a pile of rubble. I looked behind me towards the fighting. Scar was ferociously attacking Al and Ed. What can I do? What if Ed or Al gets hurt? What if…I change something! One tear slipped down my cheek but I wiped it away. I am not going to be a helpless little girl, if it looks like something bad might happen, I'll…I'll step in.

I walked around the room towards the door. As I did I watched the fight. Ed had kicked Scar in the back and Al was going in for a punch. Scar rolled out of the way and ended up on one knee facing me. He looked at me for a split second before Ed brought down his blade towards his head. I closed one eye and turned away as it narrowly missed him. I quickly turned back as Scar was back on his feet and bringing his right arm down towards Ed. Ed got ready but when he took a step back he hit the bed. Al wasn't close enough so I charged in.

"Stop!" I yelled as I stood between Ed and Scar. Scar stopped his attack and backed off a bit. Ed looked at me wide eyed.

"Jennifer…" Ed was cut off when Mustang busted through the door. All heads turned towards him.

"Scar, we meet again." Mustang said coldly.

"It seems like it's both yours and Fullmetal's lucky day." Scar responded. He grabbed my arm and destroyed the floor. I almost screamed as the first floor almost made contact with my face. Luckily Scar can land on his feet when he falls so he caught me bridal style. I don't think I want to do that again. I looked up and Ed, Al, Mustang, and Hawkeye surrounded the hole.

"Jennifer!" Al said.

"Al!" Scar ignored my call and quickly made for the exit. He exited the room we were in and ran down the hallway towards the front. "Let me go Scar!" I screamed in his ear. He ignored me again! Footsteps pounded on the floor above us. I tried to squirm my way out but Scar tightened his grip and pressed me closer to him. To his chest. I'm glad I'm not a blusher… when we reached the front Scar quickly realized his mistake. Military personnel surrounded the building. Guns were pointed at us. I looked up at Scar and he was scowling as usual, but then his eyes widened a bit. I looked towards the soldiers and saw the fuhrer, A.K.A Wrath.

"Oh no." I whispered to myself but Scar heard it. He looked at me and he saw the fear in my eyes. "You have to get out of here Scar, this is not good, not good at all." I said so only he could hear me. "Put me down and get out of here, I'll only slow you down anyway."

"That's not happening." He said as he looked at the ground. Please not the sewers again! Ed and Al finally caught up.

"Let her go!" Ed screamed. Scar glanced at him then once again destroyed the ground and we were soon falling into darkness.

"Crap!" I screamed as I went down.

We were currently walking down a long stinky sewer drain. When I say we were walking, I meant Scar was walking and I was still being carried. I sighed.

"You can put me down now, I'm not going to run." I said. He didn't say anything. Omg seriously. I let my head drop and sighed. "You know, since you kidnapped me, you could be nice and actually talk to me." He looked at me.

For a second I didn't think he would answer until, "I didn't kidnap you."

"So what do you call that back there huh? You broke into the hotel room, attacked Ed and Al, grabbed me, and ran away. Hmm, that couldn't have been a kidnapping, you're right." I said sarcastically. Scar glared at me. I stuck my tongue out at him. Meanie. Before I could say anything more Scar stopped at a ladder leading up to a man hole. He looked up at the hole then down at me, thinking about something. All of a sudden he threw me over his shoulder and started up the ladder. "Oh come on! I can climb on my own!" He ignored me, yet again. His shoulder hurts… so I was left hanging, and staring right at his butt. Oh come on… someone's torturing me. I bet its Truth… once Scar made it to the top he pushed on the hole cover a little bit to look out. It was dark out by now so the only light coming through the little opening was the moon and maybe a lamp post.

"Good." Scar said to himself. Oh god, now he talks to himself. He pushed the cover off and climbed out.

"Ah, fresh air." I said taking in a deep breath. I noticed we were in a little city square, with a nice fountain and dark homes surrounding us. Then Scar did something amazing, he put me down! I wobbled a bit when my feet hit the pavement because of not using them for a while.

"Stay." Scar said in a threatening voice. I glared at him.

"Or what?"

"Or I won't let you walk the rest of the way." Damn, my weak spot! How could he have known that was my kryptonite! I rolled my eyes. But I decided I would be good and stayed put as he put the cover back on the man hole. He then looked around for witnesses. Upon seeing no one he grabbed my arm and pulled me along towards an unknown place.

That unknown place turned out to be an alley way. What a surprise! Yoki was there, tending a fire. Next to him stood a little girl with a panda on her shoulder. Mei! And Xiao-Mei! I did a little dance in my mind.

"Mr. Scar! Your back and you've brought a guest." She said happily.

"Yeah, guest…"I said as I looked at Scar. He didn't say anything, instead he let me go and went and sat down. Whatever. I turned my attention back to Mei. "Hi! My name's Jennifer. What's yours?" I said innocently. Out of the corner of my eye I cold see Scar looking at me.

"My name's Mei Chang and this is my friend Xiao Mei." She said happily. How cute!

"So Mei, what are you doing hanging around a weirdo like Scar?" Scar glared at me. I stuck my tongue out at him.

"Oh, he's not a weirdo! His master Yoki," Yoki looked up and finally noticed me, "Saved me from starvation so now I will stay and pay my dept until I can find the secret of immortality and see my true love Edward Elric!" She had sparkles in her eyes, daydreaming about him.

The side of my mouth twitched as I tried to hold in my laughter. "So Mei, what is it that you like about him?"

"He knows alchemy, and he's tall and handsome, and he helps people. I heard he is kind to all and will definitely fall for me!" she said dreamy like. I tried to keep a straight face but I couldn't hold it in.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" I was holding my stomach and rolling on the ground. Mei was pouting and her arms were crossed.

"Why are you laughing?" once I had stopped I wiped a tear from my eye and sat cross legged in front of her. She did the same.

"Let me you tell you something, I know Edward personally," Would it be ok to tell her? It won't change much and it'll prevent some bad news later. "-and he isn't all that you say, he is an alchemist and he can be nice sometimes, but well he's short and his temper is too." Mei looked at me shocked and Xiao Mei held the same face and pose.

"That can't be! I saw it with my own eyes in my dreams!" She said. I sweatdropped.

"Honey, things aren't as they always seem." I said. "But keep in mind that you may find what your looking for close to what you now seek." If that makes sense. Mei was looking at me wide eyed. All of a sudden she tackled me in a hug.

"Oh, Jennifer, even though we just met you've been so kind to me, it's so nice to know that there are good people in Amestris." (is that right?) I hugged her back.

"I'm so glad you're here Mei, I would have gone insane knowing I was just going to hang out with creepers." Both Scar and Yoki glared at me. I ignored them.

I don't know what time it was but all I could say was that I was exhausted. Scar had yet to talk or even tell me why he kidnapped me and Yoki was sleeping. Mei and Xiao Mei were currently curled up to my side sleeping as I sat against the alley wall. My eyes drooped every so often but I didn't want to sleep yet, not until I got some answers.

"Sleep." I looked over at Scar and he didn't look tired at all.

"Not until you tell me why you kidnapped me." I whispered.

I stared at him.

… nothing.

"Oh come on!" I said but then quieted down when Mei stirred. "I deserve the right to know."

"You should know why." He finally said. What!

"Well I don't so please tell me." Mei stirred again and I decided to take the conversation somewhere else. I slowly got up and gently laid Mei down on the ground. I motioned for Scar to follow as I walked to an adjacent alley. When we both were there I said, "So?"

"You should know, you know all about this world right? You should know how that Government are murderers."

"You kidnapped me…to save me?" I asked bewildered. He just looked at me. "I'd thank you but you didn't save me from anything. I was perfectly safe with Ed and Al."

"They are Alchemists, they can never be trusted." He replied.

"You use alchemy! And don't use the excuse you're a servant of god or any of that crap. We both know that's not true and it's just covering up your vengeance murders." I sucked in some air, "I have been waiting for so long to tell you this, do you think your family would want this? Hmm? No! People who love you want you to be happy, not killing and disgracing your self and your people! Also you kill people without a thought for their families! Yeah, the Ishbalan war was horrible, a lot of people died on both sides. Do you remember when your friends were deciding to use alchemy against the Amestrians? Do you remember how you felt? What you're doing here is no worse than what they thought or some of the Amestrians. Don't fall to their level." I paused.

Scar was speechless. I took the chance to continue, "As for Edward, yeah, he's a State Alchemist, but he's never killed anyone, he's a good person, and he wasn't even involved in the war! Mustang… he was in the war, but do you think he doesn't regret every life he took, Armstrong, tch, he was sent home because he couldn't handle the killing, if you'd seen , anything, on the other side of the line, you should know everyone is suffering." I took a breath.

Scar stayed silent. He was looking at the ground, trembling. Crap, I said too much, please let that not be trembling of anger. His hands were in fists and they kept tightening. Finally he looked at me. His red eyes were full of anger. I gulped. He started walking towards me. I walked backwards until I hit the wall. Crap. Suddenly he raised his fist at me and I turned away.
