Disclaimer: I do not own FMA
-falls onto floor and bows down- I AM SO SORRY!!!! okay soo....I really don't have an excuse except for the fact that after summer break and all, one thing led to another and I sorta lost all motivation for this story. umm....in all honesty....I blame Kingdom Hearts and my Riku. She got me to play it....well technically my Fye did, but it was Riku's fault. I felt like giving her a surprise drawing of Axel and Roxas and it sucked so I still have it and I decided to play it and I got hooked. I now own and have beaten all three games. So yeah, I blame kingdom hearts for my absence. Anyway enough of my random talk, if anyone still reads this story I'm sure you are all DIEING to know what's happening with Edward and Alphonse from now on so off with the story!! oh onemore thing; to Harryswomen.....-shifty eyes- uhhhh.....-runs- please don't kill me!!!
Edward ran as fast as he could, still holding tightly onto Alphonses' wrist as he ran. He had to get away from there. He couldn't take everything that he just found; it was just to much to handle at once. Wrath was one of the old twins...Aunt Juliet was the new Sloth?! Too many questions were running threw his head; Why did she do it? Does she want them killed? What exactly does she hope to accomplish by this? While he ran those questions just kept repeating themselves along with questions about Wrath; How did he end up a homunculus if he was one of the twins? Why did the younger twin die? Was there more to what they found out about the homunculi that ended up with them meeting such a tragic end? Edward finally stopped running when they reached the bridge; hand on his knees as he gasped for breath he was unaware that he needed untill now.
"...Brother..?" Alphonse whispered. Edward looked over at him before straightening himself out. The two looked over at eachother in silence; neither one of them saying a word. After a moment longer Alphonses' face scrunched up and he threw himself at his brother, tears pouring down his face as he just sobbed into his brothers chest. He didn't want to die, it just wasn't fair. This can't be his fate. Edward wrapped his arms around his brother, leaning against the wall of the bridge, trying his hardest not to break down himself. After all he wasn't the one with his life on the line.
Edwards mind drifted back to Wrath. If the younger twins fate was to be killed...would Edward himself loose his humanity and become a homunculus himself? No. He would not end up like that, and Alphonse would live. He would make sure of that.
"Well isn't this just a touching scene?" Edward froze for a moment; his grip on Alphonse tightening before looking over at the speaker. The moment he laid eyes on who spoke he relaxed his hold.
"Greed..." He breathed out in relief. Alphonse pushed away from his brother at that, wiping away the remainder of the tears and looking over at Greed as well.
"You mean the one you ran into earlier today...or yesturday or...you know what, nevermind." Alphonse muttered. Greed laughed at that.
"Well at least your brother has a bit of humor in him een when he's scared for his life." Greed said. Edward glared over at him.
"Shut up." He said. His tone very dangerous. Greed just lifted up his hands infront of him.
"Hey, I wasn't trying to start a fight or anything." He said.
"May as well have." Edward and Alphonse turned around as another knew voice spoke up from behind them. This time they saw Wrath standing there, hands clenched into fists at his side, his face looking down at his feat. Edwards' face hardened when he saw the young homunculus.
"What do you-"
"Will you please stop yelling at me!" Wrath interupted, lifting his face up so he could glare at the older twin, "I get enough of that from Envy and I don't need it from you too!"
"Envy still buggin' you, pipsqueek?" Greed asked before the twins could respond to Wraths outburst. Wrath looked over at Greed and sighed, giving a small shrug at the same time.
"When does he not?" He muttered. He liked Greed. He had to admit that. Greed didn't like being with the rest of the sins, and he never treated Wrath like he was some sort of toy to tease the way Envy did. Greed treated Wrath alot differently from the rest of the Homunculi; Probably because Wrath was different and hated them as much as Greed did. the two did not talk often though because Greed was hardly ever there anymore.
Alphonse looked back and forth between the two sins because swallowing slightly and taking a step forward towards Wrath. Edward grabbed ahold of his brothers arm when he did so, not wanting Alphonse to go. Alphonse looked back at his brother before his gaze returned to Wrath.
"Wrath..." He started, getting the younger sins attention. Wrath looked up and over at Alphonse, not saying a world. Alphonse looked at him a moment longer before opening his mouth to speak again, "When I spoke to you...you said that only Izumi was trustworthy in the school...does she know about you?"
Wrath stared at Alphonse in shock. Had he said that? That is right, he had, just after he had run out on Envy back in Prides office. Wrath looked up at Alphonse for a moment longer before looking back down, closing his eyes tightly.
"Of course she knows..." He said quietly, "She knows everything....she's....she's my...." He trailed off, his fists shaking at his sides as he tried to control thre flurry of emotions that ran threw him at that moment. He wanted to cry. When Izumi first transferred in as the new gym teacher he was shocked. They looked so much alike. He quickly shook his head, clearing his thoughts before looking back up at the twins.
"Let's go to mommy's house." He stated simply. The twins looked at each other in shock. Did he just say 'Mommy'? Wrath smiled at them before walking past them over the bridge, "Greed you comming too?" Greed stretched his hands over his head before sighing loudly.
"Yeah why not," He stated, "Give's me somthin' to do and it will probably put a stop to all the crap too." He turned around and followed Wrath, niether one of them looking back to see if Edward and Alphonse were going to follow. Said two looked over at each other in a bit of confusion before shrugging and deciding to follow. Maybe they would find out a way to stop all this, like Greed said. Just as they started walking Alphonse leaned over and grabbed his brothers hand, holding it tightly within his own. Edward did not even react to this; He was expecting this to happen. It was their silent way of comforting each other when something bad was troubling the other, and this was as bad as things could get.
Wrath had led them to a small single story house a bit of a walk away from the bridge but not as far as Edward and Alphonses' house. The twins looked up at the house; It looked normal enough, they thought. The lights were off though and it was obvious that who ever lived here was asleep at the moment.
"Wrath, shouldn't we come during the day?" Alphonse asked. Wrath shook his head before walking over to the door and turning the handle. The door was locked. There was not a way for him to get in without waking her up. He sighed. He was going to wake her up anyway, may as well do it now. Taking a breath he lifted up a fist and started banging on the door.
"Mommy!" He called out, "Mommy please open the door!!" He continued this for another thirty second or so before the door was swung violently open. The twins eyes widened in both shock and fear. Standing there was Izumi Curtis, and she looked pissed.
"This had better be important Wrath!" She snapped. Wrath wasn't even phased by Izumi's outburst. Izumi glared down at the young sin before Wrath turned around and looked over at the two frightened boys and a very bored looking Greed. Izumi looked over at them herself before realization hit her.
"Well," She muttered, stepping aside making room for them to walk in, "I guess this is important. Come in, now." None of them wasted anytime in walking into Izumi's house. Izumi turned on the light to the living room and they all sat down on the different couches and chairs lining in it. Sid walked in as well, standing behind his wife silently. Wrath smiled and ran over to him, jumping up and onto his back. The faint hint of a smile was over his face as Wrath clung onto him, hugging him from behind. Izumi looked over at Edward and Alphonse, folding her hands onto her lap.
"Now, why don't you boys tell me what kind of trouble you've gotten yourselves into?" She said. The twins looked at each other for a moment before back at their teacher. The same question was running threw their minds.
"Can we ask you a question first?" Edward asked. Izumi looked at him before giving one nod.
"Why does Wrath call you 'Mommy'?" Alphonse asked. Edward nodded in agreement.
"And how do you know about him?" He asked as well. Izumi looked over at them in silence for a moment before her face softened. She looked up over at Sid who still had Wrath clinging onto his back; his head resting on Sids shoulder, a look of contentment on his face.
"I met him when I first transferred," Izumi said, "It was for a split second, but only because he saw me and when he did, he called me Mommy." Izumi looked back over at her students, a smile evident on her face, "I was surpised, but I didn't see him after that for another week, but I knew he was watching."
"But why 'Mommy'?" Edward asked. This time Wrath spoke up.
"She looks just like her," He muttered into Sids shoulder, "She looks just like my Mommy..."
