I hope this doesn't bore. It's a mix of the series and the manga.

I am very sorry that I can't give out a proper thank you to the reviewers from last time. I should keep track more often. Sorry I haven't updated. My grades at school have been dropping and I'm afraid I may lose computer privileges. So I must hurry with this chapter. Finals at my school are in a week, so don't expect me to update the rest of this week, or next week. Again I am very sorry. The music them to this chapter is 'Our Truth', by Lacuna Coil.


I walked slowly down that road where the car had been flipped. The drivers surely didn't survive. One person did though….Marco. I could feel tremors underground me, then an even bigger one. 'Must be Armstrong.'

Tears threatened to show, so I started running with my hands on my head. I ran across so many roads that I nearly got hit by 5 cars! Lucky me that they all hit a street pole. I ran faster and landed with my face in concrete door. I lay there till a hand poked me. I look up to see a few kids giving me a weird look.

"You really don't have great balance do ya miss?"

"And you seem to love playing in the rain." I countered back. The kid smiled and held out his hand. I took it and him and his other friends helped me up.

"You wanna play with us?"

"Not really. I have to get going. I'll try next time."

"Oh….Ok." I smiled and rubbed his head. I turned and started walking away. Once out of sight, I started running again. I ran into an alley way and hid behind a trash can. I fell down and cried in my hands.

"I wanna go home! I just want to go home……I wanna go….home!" I curled into a ball, trying not to fall over in the process. I bawled like no tomorrow actually. I look up into the sky and it down poured on me. I let the rain wash my 'what was left' make up off. The eyeliner was making black streaks down my face and my hair had come undone. Pieces of it was sticking in random directions, as some were still barely being held up.

"AAHHHHHH!" I shot up and look to my left as Ed and Al came running around the corner and Ed transmuted a wall.

"(Gasp) That should keep him away." There was a red light and the wall was then destroyed. Behind it was Scar. He had his sunglasses on and was running towards Marco, who by the way was on Al's shoulder.

"GOING TO KEEP RUNNING FULLMETAL!? I'LL JUST FIND YOU!!" Ed turned back to him and glared at him.

"I guess it's time I stopped running…..AND FACE YOU HEAD ON!!" Ed had started randomly hitting Scar and he missed. Scar almost got Ed till Al had stopped him. Though….Al got half of his body destroyed.

"ALPHONSE!!!"

"BROTHER RUN!!!"

"NO WAY!! YYYAAAAAA!" Ed swung at Scar again, and this time Scar got a hold of Ed's right arm. He tried to destroy his arm, but the alchemic energy wasn't meant for his arm. Ed went back and half of his coat was ripped at his arm. Shinning knight in armor…err…..automail I mean. Where was I you ask? Well I was hiding behind that of a trash can.

"I SAID RUN BROTHER!!"

"NO WAY!! I'M NOT LEAVING YOU!!" Ed charged Scar again, AND OF COURSE SCAR GOT HIS DAMN ARM AGAIN!

"This was meant for this arm." Ed's eyes dilated and he went flying back from the explosion of tiny shards of automail. He held his arm as he sat there in the drizzle of ran now. Scar slowly progressed up to Ed and put his arm with the transmutation circle design on his head.

"I will give you time to pray to him."

"I stop believing in him long ago. Just promise me….that you won't hurt my little brother."

"I only kill State Alchemists and the people who get in my way, but I shall not harm him."

"NO!! DON'T DO THIS BROTHER!!"

"Say your good byes Fullmetal." I snapped out of it and ran up to Scar and Ed.

"NOOO!! DAMN IT!!!" I punched Scar to the ground. I was on top and I knew that he could kill me at any moment, but I didn't stop. I jumped off and Ed had wide eyes as I was breathing hard.

"Elizabeth? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!!?"

"SHUT UP!!!" I lunged at Scar again and dodged his attack. I rolled up to the wall and ran back at him, tears running down my face.

"Why do you wish to protect this Alchemist girl?!"

"SHUT UP!!! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF BITCHING FOR ONE DAY!!! I DON'T NEED IT ANY WORSE!!!!" He got a hold of me and red light surged from his arm up. I squirmed out, but he got my hair and it went bye bye. I rolled down on the ground, landing on my back. I look up at the sky and wait for my life to be taken.

"I said that I WILL kill any one who tries to stop me." I bent my head back to see Scar slowly walk up to me and Al trying to drag himself over to me.

"RUN ELIZABETH!! RUN!!!" I look at Al's pleading body. Scar finally got over to me and bent down. He looked me in the eye and put his right arm on my head. I closed my eyes and listened to my surroundings.

"I SAID RUN ELIZABETH!!!"

"Wait…..give me time to tell these two something." He glared at me and I opened my eyes. Scar pulled me up to sit, but still had a hold of me. I nodded at him and then looked at Ed and Al.

"Well…..here's what I have to say…..Al…. I just wanted to go home…that's all."

"WE CAN GET YOU BACK, JUST START RUNNING!!"

"Ed….Damn you….I AM TO FUNNY!"

"NO YOU'RE NOT!! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!!"

"I WANT TO GO HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!" There was a loud crack by my head. I sat there as Scar lifted up and looked at the large force of the military. OH JOY!! NOW WE'RE ALL SAVED!!!

"That's quite enough."

"The flame alchemist."

"I will be your next opponent."

"Ugh….Colonel."

"Not now Riza." Scar then ran after Roy and Roy went head on.

"COLONEL!" Riza then tripped Roy, that made him barely miss Scar's hand and Riza started shooting at Scar.

"WHY DID YOU DO THAT HAWKEYE!!?"

"Remember….You're useless in the rain."

"Use…Useless." It seemed as if a big blue bar just fell by Roy and pointed at him saying the word Useless. The military surrounded Scar and Scar was looking for some place to escape.

"You can't escape this time. We've got the whole place surrounded." Said Useless. Next, Scar made the alchemic reaction surge through his hand and hit the street road, causing an escape route. He jumped down and I shot up and followed, only to be grabbed by my shirt and knocked down.

"LEMME GO!! LEMME GO!! I WANNA FIGHT HIM!! I CAN BEAT HIM!! HE WAS MY ONLY CHANCE FOR HOME!!!"

"THE ONLY CHANCE TO DIE STUPID!!" I look up and Ed had gotten my shirt. I glare at him and thrashed more. My now even shorter hair was in a mud mass. I stopped after a few minutes of thrashing and Hughes popped his head out.

"Is it over?"

"You know, you could try and help why you're here Hughes."

"What do you want me to do? Fire my slingshot at him? Come on Roy, I'm not a freak."

"A freak about his daughter." I mumbled. Ed had let go of me and was with Al now.

"AL!! ARE YOU OK!!?"

"YOU IDIOT!" Al punched Ed in the face. "WE SAID WE WOULD BE TOGETHER!!"

"But….But I was trying to save you."

"SAVE ME BY GIVING YOUR LIFE!!? WE SAID THAT WE WERE GOING TO DO THIS TOGETHER, NOT DIE!! MAYBE IF WE GOTTEN BETTER, THEN WE COULD SAVE MORE INNOCENT GIRLS LIKE NINA AND ELIZABETH!"

"HEY!! SINCE WHEN DID I GET PULLED INTO THE DAMSEL IN DISTRESS ROLE!!?" I yelled at them, while Hughes was putting a coat on me. I see Ed look down and I felt bad. I walk over to him when Al's arm had fallen off.

"OH GREAT!! NOW MY ARM FELL OFF!! I HATE THIS BROTHER!! YOU KNOW THAT!!?"

"We're falling apart, aren't we Al?"

"Yeah….but we're alive."

"Yeah." I walk closer and sit behind Ed, resting my head on his back.

"Elizabeth….what are you doing- HUH!! WHY ARE YOU CRYING!!?" Ed turned around to see me covering my eyes. He grabs my shoulders and shakes me, just making me dizzy. I look at him and see double. My vision is seeing black spots appear everywhere.

"Elizabeth…You don't look so good."

"I feel so hot Al. Since when did it get so hot out here?" Ed puts his only hand on my head and pulls it away immediately.

"You're burning up Elizabeth."

"It feels like I just fell off the white house twenty times and then had a horse kick me."

"White House?" Both of the boys questioned.

"It's a place at my….you know what place."

"Oh….HEY!! HUGHES!! COULD YOU PLACE ELIZABETH IN THE CAR!! I NEED TO HELP AL UP!!" Ed had yelled. I launch back from how loud his voice was. I rub the back of my head as Hughes came up and lifted me bridal style. I blushed and leaned into him, letting my tears fall from my eyes. A tiny sob escaped my mouth and Hughes held me tighter.

"THERE'S NO ONE IN THERE!!!" I look back to see Havoc, Breda, Falman, and Fuery looking into Al's empty suit. Hughes put me into the car with Marco. He looked really sad.

"I should have never brought you into this."

"Me? Why me……why are you saying that Marco?"

"Because if I hadn't made that stone, then you and those boys wouldn't be in this mess."

"MESS!!!? IS THAT WHAT YO THINK IT IS!!? I'VE HAD WORSE THAN THIS!!! TRY FALLING FROM THE SKY And LANDING ON YOUR FACE!!" I got out of the car and ran off again. I had my money and pack with me. I just needed new clothes…NOW! I'd be back for the two later. I would meet them at Winry's. I ran off with Ed yelling for me again. I look behind and see him chasing me. I ran faster and got to a 4 way street. I took off one direction then turned at 2 other alley ways.

"ELIZABETH!!! WHERE ARE YOU!!!?" I jumped up to a ladder and climbed up and laid down to where I could still here him. I lay still and I held back a cough.

"ELIZABETH!!! COME OUT!!! WHY DO YOU KEEP RUNNING!!!?"

'Cuz I'm still mad defuse.'

"ELIZABETH!!! COME OUT AND WE'LL SIT DOWN AND TALK OK!?? JUST COME OUT!!" Ed ran up under the stairs. I leaned closer down and could see him breathing hard. I felt a little sorry for him again.

"I'm sorry." 'WHAT!!!? WHAT DID HE SAY!!! I MUST BE DREAMING!!! Well technically I am since I'm stuck in the book, BUT STILL!! HE DOESN'T SAY THAT TO HARDLY ANYONE!!?' I gathered my strength and sat up.

"Woo Hoo." He looks up and I give a goofy smile. He looks shocked, but goes into a glare. I jump down and land on my feet. I sneezed and staggered. I nearly fall but Ed grabs a hold of my back. I blush when I felt his hand grab my butt.

"AH!! SORRY!" He lets go and looks away. I smile and get close to him. He looks at me and I smile wider.

"I don't like the way you're looking at me……What……are you doing?"

"One for one. You grab my ass and I get something else."

"OH HELL NO!!"

"Edward."

"NO!! GET AWAY FROM ME!!!" HE runs off and I grab his shirt.

"I don't have to do it now……I chose if I get to or not, but first I want new clothes." I tapped his nose, and walked off. Ed stood there and then came running up.

"HEY!! So ugh…..what were you going to do if you wanted to get me back?" I look over to him and smile.

"Let's just say that if you ever do or touch anywhere else, then it will be the same place I touch….bub. Ok….If you happen to touch my chest, then I touch whatever I want. IF you touch down there, then that will be I touch you…..So don't do it." I shot him a glare and walked faster.

'YOU WOULD DO THAT!!!?"

"I'm just kidding! GAWD! I wouldn't do that….I would take a hammer to your head." He slowed down and I started jogging.

"STOP GOING SO FAST!!"

"Stop going so slow." We ran like crazy, racing each other and finally got to the cars. I jumped into one and ran into Roy. He gave me a confused look and I blushed. I crawled into the seat and nestled into it. I looked around and Ed had crawled into the seat in front of me. Al was in the car in front of us.

"You look a little flushed Elizabeth….and you to Edward."

"NO I'M NOT COLONEL BASTARD!!"

"Edward….don't be mad at Roy since he is useless." Ed started laughing and I joined before I saw double again. I felt light headed and I fell on Roy's shoulder. I felt him move, then my world went dark.


I am sorry that I couldn't give the reviewers a proper thank you…..sorry. Hope this one wasn't to boring and flamers shall be used to cook our poptarts. I was feeling sad today, so that is why it is a little filled with drama. Sorry again.
