A/N - Last time I updated, I accidentally posted a chapter ahead, so I deleted that chapter, and reposted it after the correct one. This is two chapters. I don't know if I'm being confusing or not, so just try and understand XD

Chapter Ten

A team was gathered and urgently rushed out of HQ as a top priority to get Ed back home safely. Roy led the group, and when they reached the building he was the first to discover the injured teen. He was on the fifth floor, in one of the last rooms, when he saw him. He was lying face down on the floor, unconscious. He was bleeding.

"I FOUND HIM!" he screamed, rushing over to the fallen alchemist as the men within hearing distance hurried to join him. He got down on his knees next to the seventeen year old, reaching a hand to his neck to see if there was a pulse. He had one, but it was incredibly faint. Things didn't look very great. More soldiers entered the room, and Roy turned to face them, one hand still on Ed. "Hasn't anyone found the suspect yet!?"

Silence.

"Go get him!" The Colonel exclaimed, pointing to the door, "And someone get an ambulance in here!"

The frantic yelling began to have an affect on Ed, and he gave off a soft moan, squeezing his eyes tightly in pain. His hands struggled to rise, but Roy gently placed them down at his sides. "It's okay now, Ed." He soothed, "It's over."

Chapter Eleven

"Don't touch me!"

"There's nothing you can do to get away, so you might as well get used to this and give in."

"I can't!"

"You're done for. It's been too long. Nobody is searching for you."

"Shut up!"

"I'm the only thing keeping you alive. Your life is in MY hands now, blondie."

"Please!"

"You're mine."

"No!"

Screaming. Laughing. Pain. That familiar, sharp pain. Maybe it really was hopeless. Maybe there was no way out, no other choice to make. What would happen to him if that were true?

A terrified shriek echoed throughout the nearly empty hospital room. Ed didn't even realize it belonged to him until his throat started to sting, and he felt a pair of strong arms wrap around his body, pulling him tightly against someone's chest, hands gently running through his hair.

"Its okay, Ed, it was just a nightmare. You're safe now."

Ed sighed, releasing an uneven breath, "Roy?" he asked, surprised to hear that voice. He opened his eyes. He could see the deep blue of said brunette's military uniform. He'd never been happier to see it in his entire life. He was out. He was safe. "How…how long has it been?"

"A little less than a week. Six days?"

"Did you catch him?"

There was a pause. "No. He was gone by the time we got there. We don't know where he is right now, but a forensics team is supposed to be on the scene looking for any evidence that might help. He won't get away with this."

"Will he come back for me…?"

"No." Roy answered without hesitation, "No way. You'll never see him again."
