I hug Knox with his head pretty much buried in my arms because when he sat down that's the first thing I did. "HOWONEARTHDIDYOUGETHERE!" I scream out in a panicking, overjoyed state. Some form of quilt hits me, "You didn't… you two didn't die did you?" They both wave their hands and scream, "NO!" I sigh and steady myself. "Then how are you here?" Edward asks looking at them carefully. "Well our Alchemy I suppose. Knox and I were fighting off some of those now empty armored suits we were pilled in and well we kindda use to much of our Alchemy. I think a little too much of my soul was transferred into this armor." "And my alchemy made it to where light bends around me creating my image here would be my only logical guess." I sigh and look at them. "How long can you-."
Knox's image shimmers and fades and I throw my hands up. Al sighs, "His Alchemy is weaker than it should be here." "Because we used alchemy together to make it our strong point." I finish for Alphonse. "I'll let you two catch up." I sigh, walking off. Ed calls back to me, "Don't go to far! Please, just stay close and don't go anywhere!" I wave my hand back in a mutual answer. I walk around and sit back in the Further's car. He looks at me and I hadn't realized he got in with me. "Where's you friend miss?" I look back, "Oh just well. He had to talk to someone…" "I see. Well do you like deals?" "In poker." I answer with a curious face. He laughs and then says, "What if I ask the two of you to help me find something?" "Oh, and what's that?" He looks completely serious as he says, "A dragon."
"You serious, a dragon?" I ask as Ed walks up with a sour face. I hug him and his arms slink around my waist. "Gone too?" I ask as his grip tightens and he says with a pained voice, "Yeah…" "Its okay we'll get them back, I promise on my-." His grip gets even tighter I feel like if he had his auto mail it would cut my skin. "Please, don't say dying breath again. That promise turned out to be true last time you said it I really don't want it to be true again. Losing you once was bad; losing twice was unbearable, losing you that third and last time really hit me hard…" I pause and my grasp holds around his neck. "Alright, I believe you! You're not the only one who was hurt by that! You're the only one I've loved how do you think that felt? I don't let people get close to me for a reason Edward and that's because I'm afraid to lose them!" Our whispered conversation ended when the further cleared his throat. "So, how about that deal?"
I have the lantern and Ed has the gun as we walk around and search the other half of the castle. Ed keeps eyeing the room but hey so do I. I'm terrified for some reason. We walk in silence until something makes a crashing noise and I literally jump up and make Ed catch me bridal style. He flashes a little laugh and then we hear. "Edward Elric."
He drops me as he swings around, "Who said that?" "Ow…" I grumble as I get up. He looks at me and rubs my head. "I'm sorry I just-." "IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU!" We both jerk our heads up to see a swirling green line of a body and vicious razor sharp teeth. And then it dives at us.
