HELLO
EVERYONE! IM ALICE THE NEW AUTHOR FOR THE STORY 'DESTROYING ANGEL'. It was
one of my favorite FMA fanfics with envyxed and I was sad to see it not worked
on for so long, so I decided to take up the idea of adopting and continuing the
story. So I PM'd and asked
if they would mind me continuing the story and I got the thumbs up...Im going to be starting the 12th chapter but till then I'm putting up the first 11 chapters...
Chapter 10
Small jump in time- to where Envy saved Ed (first part will be recap from chapter 1)
"I haven't seen you for some time now, O'chibi-san. How have you been?" the voice was one that Ed recognized, but he didn't care. A soft light illuminated the small cell, and beside his bed was now Envy in his normal form. Ed continued to gaze at him, like a interested kitten...without much excitement, but still just as curious. Envy noticed this and smiled slightly, surprising the smaller blond chimera. " Have the stupid humans been mean to you?" Envy asked as he sat down beside Ed. Ed shivered and moved closer to the wall. Envy noticed, and his face softened much to Ed's surprise. "What have they done to you, O'chibi-san? You're not yourself and where is your brother?" Ed's eyes darkened and narrowed in anger, hurt and hate... Envy noticed red markings covering the blond chimera's body, it's very close to a transmutation circle. On his left shoulder there was a space, of normal skin, formed as a circle.
"Stupid... bad..." Ed said weakly. Envy's eye brows were raised at that. Ed looked up at him, then hesitantly moving back, uncertain of Envy's reaction and intentions. He had longed for someone to care and for physical contact. "chimera...homunculi... hurts..." Envy nodded, finally catching on.
"Want to get out? Go with me?" Envy asked softly. Ed's eyes stared into his, still clouded, but Envy could see happiness now there as well.
"y...es..." Ed nodded slowly. Envy nodded and slowly picked the small chimera up bridal style, but not before draping a blanket around the boy's as good as exposed body. Ed snuggled closer to the sin and sighed in content. Envy opened the door and looked if was okay to go. He made his way through the building and towards the exit when suddenly people came running towards them. Envy started to run, as the bullets were fired at them. Ed suddenly screamed in agony and warm liquid ran down Envy's arm and waist. Envy growled and ran as fast as he could outside and as far away from the place as possible. There he stopped to check upon the blond chimera boy. Ed was gasping hard for air, his breathing was irregular and he was bleeding from bullet wounds in his chest and stomach. Envy decided to run to the only one that could help him in the area...
As he ran with Edward in his arms, he couldn't help but smile. Edward had willingly let him save him, which meant that the smaller one had some positive feelings for him. That was very precious to him, Sure he had been envious of him before, but he had also had feelings for the small boy. Not that he'd ever shown it or admitted it.
"Hey, o'chibi-san?" Envy said as he ran. Ed looked up at him with those dazed eyes, confusion written all over his features. "What did they really do to you? And why?"
"Not know... hurts...betrayed..." Ed replied. Envy nodded, perhaps he shouldn't ask the smaller one more, until he was better.
"It's okay, we're soon there. I just hope she'll help..." Envy muttered as he came to the city gates of Dublith. He went through the small town in the middle of the night, he strode confidently towards a small building with a 'MEAT' sign. He knocked on the door a few times, rather hard as well. Cursing could be heard form inside and Envy quickly went away from the door, when it seconds later slammed open, revealing a pissed of Izumi Curtis.
"What the hell are you coming knocking on my door in the middle of the night?!"she barked, before she noticed who it was. She gave Envy a cold glare "what do you want homunculus?" she asked coldly.
"Calm down, I'm not here as an enemy. In fact I'm not your enemy at all anymore" Envy stated. "I need help, well not exactly me"
"Why would I help you?" Izumi asked, crossing her arms in front of her chest.
"Like I said it's not I who is in need of your help, it's rather him" Envy motioned towards the blond in his arms, who Izumi finally noticed.
"Ed? What did you do to him?" she asked angered, taking the small boy from the sin in a matter of seconds. Ed whimpered slightly at the loss of the comfort he had felt from Envy.
"It wasn't me! It was some stupid military superiors underlings! I'd never do that to chibi-chan!" Envy protested. Ed opened his eyes slightly, wanting to see who had taken him from Envy and to protect the other.
"M-mommy? Not... Envy... Innocent" Ed said slowly. Both Izumi and Envy looked at Ed as if he'd grown a head. Then Ed began to cough up blood.
"Damn it! He's going to die if we don't do something!" Envy cursed. Izumi had listened to Edward and decided to thrust the sin, if just for the moment, since he seemed sincere about caring about Ed.
"What must I do?" she asked. Envy looked at her surprised.
"Well, I guess we have to finish what they started with him, and that's turning him into a homunculi completely. They seemed to take the transmutations in stages, so that there wouldn't be a rebound. We need some red water stones as well, but I have enough with me"
"This sounds very dangerous. How will I know that I won't be taken by the Gate?" she asked. Envy smiled.
"That's why I have a Philosopher's stone with me as well" he replied smirking. This only made Izumi wonder if Envy has known about it before he saved Ed.
"Well, then let's get to work" she said, going back inside, Envy following her and closing the door. Envy followed her to a door and down into a cellar. There Izumi put Ed on a small couch and made the necessary preparations for the transmutation. Envy sat down beside Ed and stroked his face softly. Izumi watched him from the corner of her eyes. She had to admit that she was kinda surprised to see the sin be so loving towards Edward. "Why are you helping Edward? You've tried to kill him several times in the past" Envy glanced at her, still stroking Edward's face.
"That's because I've never faced him alone, I've always had the others around me and I'm tired of listening to Dante. Besides I... actually like O'chibi-chan..." Envy said silently. Izumi smiled at him.
"I'm glad to hear it. Edward's been alone for quite some time, and I have a feeling that he likes you as well. He'll need a lot of support in the future, especially after this..." she said sadly. Envy nodded.
"So...are you done yet?" he asked, surprisingly friendly. Izumi only nodded. Envy lifted Edward into his arms. Ed gave off a silent scream. "It's okay, Ed... It'll be okay very soon" Envy soothed lovingly. Envy laid Edward down in the middle of the circle and put a rather large Philosopher's stone beside him. "You know, you could use a bit of the stone to recreate your intestines. I'm sure Edward would like that" Izumi looked at him shocked.
"I couldn't possibly-" she started, cut Envy cut her off.
"Yes, you could. He'll need you as well, and I believe he thinks of you as a mother" Izumi sighed in defeat.
"Alright, I'll do it for Ed then" she agreed. Envy smiled nodding. Izumi clapped her hands and put them on the circle, thus activating it. A blue light emitted as well as a glowing red light from the stone.
When the light died down it revealed Edward, now fully healed and transmuted. His clothes had changed to a pair of similar to Envy's, but he had one glove that went up to his elbow and one that almost covered his whole arm. As well as ankle wrapping things. His hair was loose and his ourobouros mark were placed on his left shoulder. Ed slowly opened his eyes and sat up.
"Chibi-chan? Can you remember anything?" Envy asked, as he and Izumi came over. Ed looked up at him, and smiled softly, his furry ears folded back gently towards his skull.
"Envy... Thank you" He said softly as he hugged the other male, who blushed slightly.
"Ed..." Izumi said gently. Ed looked at her, with a small smile. "What happened?"
"I was captured by some military people, they used me in bad experiments. Torture... I was alone. No one cared. They never looked after me, I was just a tool to all of them. Al abandon me as he got body back. Me not wanted no more" (A/N I know it sounds weird when he talks, but it's deliberate that I write it)
"WHAT?!" Izumi screamed in rage. Ed whimpered, as she heard that she calmed down and hugged him. Ed relaxed in the embrace. "Ed, I'm still here for you, so is Sig and Mason"
"As am I" Envy added. Feeling a little bit left out. Ed left Izumi's arms and hugged Envy again, before kissing him slightly on the cheek. Envy's eyes widened slightly. "Ed?"
"hmm? Me Ed, but still not Ed. Give me new name? Envy? Please? Me homunculi, need new name" Ed asked. Envy and Izumi looked at him shocked.
"What? Are you sure about this?" Envy asked gently. Ed nodded. "well then...how about Pride?"
Ed's eyes softened, and he launched himself at Envy again.
"I'll take that as he said 'yes'" Izumi stated. Envy laughed and agreed.
