(CHAPTER 10)

(LUCY'S P.O.V)

From where we were standing, it was dark. I hugged myself. I was having second thoughts about this. Half an hour ago I had figured out where Arkadia was, and agreed to help him find it. Then why did I feel I had given my soul to the devil?. Not too far from us stood a magic counsel's archives.

"Run by me again how you're sure that Arkadia will be here?," Edward asked taking off his red coat. I looked away and stared at the archives. "I told you, Levy was picked to do a job in deciphering some code for the magic counsel. She overheard by accident that the magic counsel would tell the media that Arkadia resides with them, but really they hid it here… By the way which is stupid."

I suddenly felt Edward's warm coat over my shoulders. "You were shivering. I can manage the cold" he explained. "Hiding Arkadia in the archives is actually brilliant." "I highly doubt that" I rolled my eyes. "Actually it is. No one would look for it here. It's like hiding in plain sight." "So do we propose we get inside? "I asked. "Simple" he grinned. "Summon Virgo."

(EDWARD'S P.O.V)

So far so good. Using Virgo to dig a tunnel underground to get inside was part of my master plan. Lucy had been in the archives before, so she pretty much knew her way around. Helping Lucy to her feet now, she dusted off her knees.

"Why couldn't we find a simple way of doing this?" Lucy suddenly stopped talking. Her shaking left index finger pointed to the ceiling. "Edward there's cameras…" she whispered. Fuck. Without saying anything I clapped my hands quickly, and slammed them into the ground.

Instead of doing my alchemy attack, I had something else in mind. I created a stone rod, and jumped up and smashed the camera .Lucy covered her head as sparks flew. "Jesus Christ Edward!" she exclaimed. We were standing in the hall way now.

The moonlight shone on the walls. The bushes outside resembled distorted creatures from a distance. Not a sound was made. The silence was deafening. I didn't like it. My gut was telling me that something awful was going to happen.

"We should check upstairs," Lucy said heading that way. I held her right arm, preventing her from going any further. "It won't be upstairs" I stated. "Remember I've been here before-." "We've got to think outside the box remember?. They won't hide it where everyone would look." "So where do you propose we look?!" Lucy exclaimed in frustration. At that moment a crash was heard from down the hallway. None of us moved. Lucy instinctively touched her celestial keys that hung from her side.

"What's down the hall? 'I whispered." A large bathroom on the right" she answered. We crept silently down the hallway As I looked out the window. I could see the rain falling heavily, as we passed through the hallway. I reminded myself to check for cameras along the way.

Rain drops beat down on the roof like a uncoordinated drummer. Then there was lightening. As we approached the bathroom, we could see the door slightly ajar.

What we saw shocked us.

A masked person dressed in black, was facing the damaged wall , that contained a hidden vault. Our masked enemy had just taken out Arkadia, and had placed it into a bag. Opposite the bathroom entrance, stood a large window which was open.

The masked enemy suddenly turned and spotted us. Just as he/she was about to run, I attacked. I tripped the enemy and snatched the bag. "Lucy catch!" I shouted about to throw the bag to her. I underestimated the enemy.

By the time I shouted to Lucy, our masked enemy had gotten up, and had punched me in the jaw. Sending me flying back against one of the bathroom stalls. Knocking the rod out of my hand, I was still holding the bag with Arkadia.

Whoever this person was, they were tough. As my vision were refocused, our masked enemy crouched quickly to take the bag. I did the only thing I could. Without warning, I pulled off the mask. What I had discovered, made bile come up my mouth.

Seeing clearly now, Winry Rockbell stared back at me. "NO…." I said hoarsely. I couldn't move. Not with shock, but with fear. I looked over to Lucy, who had just pulled out her black whip. Winry noticed, and snatched the bag from me.

I watched helplessly as Winry dived out the window, like a tiger jumping through the hoops in a circus.
