Even at his amazing vampire speed, Mustang felt like it took an eternity to find his lieutenant. It was dark and getting colder every passing moment. The scent of his lieutenant was fading as time past and he was desperate to find her. Mustang's mind started flowing with thoughts of the horrid vampire attempting to suck his blonde aide dry. He shuddered with a grimace.
A familiar scent filled his nostrils and a panicked feeling overflowed him as he started running, adrenaline passing in. The scent of her blood was flowing through the air. The sound of a gunshot filled the air as he ran even faster then before.

Ugh
Riza lifted her hand and rubbed the back of her head. She blinked, trying to defog the darkness. Then she remembered.
She sprang to her feet, quickly, regretting it as the world spun, but she shook it off. The sharpshooter looked around briskly, finding nothing.
She quickly checked herself for any injuries and any holes in her neck. Finding none, she relaxed, but then finding something warm and sticky sliding down on her forehead. Riza reached up only to find that it was blood. 'Must have been from the fall.' The smell of iron and rust of the blood was making her feel nauseated.
"Such a delicious smell Lieutenant. I cannot understand why your colonel doesn't just suck you dry."
The lieutenant gasped and spun around with her gun in hand. The vampire Reine was smirking at her. Like the last time they met, his eyes were blood shot red; his face was white as snow, and the pointed fangs sticking out of his mouth. He didn't have his dark cloak; just clothing that resembled a civilian's…with splotches of blood. He practically looked like a run-away model. If looks could kill, she'd be dead by now.
Hawkeye held up her gun, pointing the nozzle at the vampire. "Reine." She spat.
The smirk on the vampire's face turned into a grin. "It's been far too long lieutenant." He paused, breathing in deeply and closing his red eyes. "I missed the smell of your blood terribly."
She glared at him, clicking the gun. "Let's cut to the chase. How can Mustang be cured?"
Reine grinned. "Oh come now lieutenant, are you that desperate to help your colonel?" He opened his eyes. "Is it troubling you that he is only using you for your blood?" He took a step forward.
Riza's eyes were hard. "Don't come any closer. I don't care what happens to me. As his aide, I want him to be safe."
Reine laughed; the sound echoing through the empty ally. "You don't have to hide your feelings Riza, I can sense it. Your uneasiness."
"Don't call me that!"
He looked as if he were thinking before smirking; his eyes seeming to be coming even redder. He took another step to her.
Riza held up her gun steadily aiming at the vampire's head. "I told you not to come any-!"
She didn't even see him move, but he was in front of her baring his teeth. In surprise, she shot and the bullet only grazed his neck. Her eyes widened as she saw no blood.
Reine swiftly grabbed her hands and pushed her against the narrow ally walls. His lips were a few centimeters away from her neck. "Would you be willing to die for his safety, lieutenant?"
Riza froze as she felt his fangs brush her neck gently.
"It wouldn't hurt that much lieutenant. How about it? Your life and blood for Mustang's cure?" He pulled away with a frown. "You'll have to tell me later, since your colonel is already here. Another time then, lieutenant." Wind flowed and he disappeared.
The blonde slid down the ally wall to the ground, wrapping a hand around her neck. That was too close. For the first time in a while, she hasn't felt so frightened. The thought of being drained of blood by that horrid vampire…she couldn't handle the thought of it. Those blood shot eyes were too much for her. So when Riza saw a dark figure with red eyes suddenly step in front of her, she couldn't help the petite scream that gurgled out of her throat. The figure's hand clamped down onto her mouth.
"Hawkeye it's just me!"
Riza stopped struggling and looked up. Colonel Mustang was looking down at her worriedly with his red eyes.
"Are you alright? What happened? I can smell that blood-sucker all over you!"
"Reine…"
Roy's jaw tightened and he pulled the lieutenant close. "What did he do to you?" The words came out strangled.
Riza shook her head. "He didn't attack me. Sort of. He just talked about you."
Roy looked thoughtful for a moment. "Are you alright? There's blood on your forehead." He shoved his hand into the pocket of his coat and pulled out a small cloth and then wiped the blood off.
"I'm fine. Let's just get out of here."
Roy nodded; his jaw still tight and stood, still holding the blonde close. "Can you walk?"
Riza pushed off the ground, "Ye-." Only to stumble back down to the cement ground. "Not really."
Roy chuckled and brought an arm under her legs to pull her bridal style into his arms. "No problem."
The lieutenant flushed. "W-what are you doing colonel! You do not have to do this!"
The colonel merely smirked. "I doubt that you will be able to walk back home like this, lieutenant. Don't make me order you to stand down."
Riza scoffed but hesitantly wrapped her arms around his neck.
And then they were speeding off.
