Day ten
Nightfall……..
The light had faded slowly back into the dim…… I could feel the warmth of hands leave me back upon the solid concrete ground in the dark room……… I lay there for some time…… not quite understanding what had happened in that instant of blinding warm light….. Warmth was all around me, even though the ground upon which I lay was bitterly cold…………
The faces had all come back to me in a sweltering flash……… I remember Roy and the others……….. Teacher…….. Winry……….. Mom……… and Al……… but there was something else there……. something that I could not make sense of……. It was the name that I could not understand for the longest time until now………. Edward Elric……………. It was so clear to me……. I was the boy known as Ed………. And Al……………. Al… was my little brother………
I sat up in a jolt….remembering what had been said to me only a few hours ago…… Beads of sweat rolled down my face… teeth clenched tight by the haunting words……….
"Al's in danger….."
Pulling myself up from the ground, I stared out at the door just a few feet away…. I could feel the strength beginning to grow within me…….. filling me once again with that fiery warmth……. The blood and wounds had gone along with the pains and sorrows….. Reaching back behind me instinctively I grasped onto something and hard…… swinging it over my head it crashed down before me………. In my hands was a large black scythe….. Its blade alone was as tall as I was…….. its edge stained by crimson blood leaving its color to shine on the blade's surface………. It was the weapon chosen and granted to me……….. and with it I must save my brother……..
Sry if this confuses any of u… I had to change it from firsthand to make it easier to read…. ! Sry about any typos too... I was doing this late at night for u guys.
Swinging the blade around, he eyed the door. Then without a second thought he charged at it, bringing the blade down upon the steel hinges that locked the door into the wall. It did not matter to him if he was heard or not… His decision was made….. He was now an enemy to his own kind….
The loud clatter of steel upon steel was deafening, ricocheting about in a terrible echo down the halls of the underground maze. Envy fell out of his chair in the middle of taunting Greed. Spinning around wildly for the racket, he was taken aback to find where the sound was emanating from.
"What in Hell!?!?"
He dashed down the hallway towards the quarters where Pride had been bound, Greed following with intrigue.
Rounding the corner they were greeted with the last of the ensemble of smashing steel against steel and large plumes of dust from the fallen matter. Shielding his eyes from the blinding waves of dust, Envy attempted to peer into the mess, to find Pride standing upon the ruble before him, brandishing his blade at his neck. Leaping back in surprise he glared at him angrily.
"What do u think you're up to Pride?" He hissed
Greed eyed the blade with great curiosity, taking little interest in Envy's bickering. His eyes ran down the sleek, black handle, threaded with a very intricate twine to the blade.
Pride returned Envy's glare by raising the blade up and pointing straight at him, "What's it look like I'm doing you fool?"
The sneer that curled up upon his face set an icy flow down Envy's spine. For Pride to show any emotion at all was dangerous…. His bloodlust had risen substantially. Taken aback, his surprise quickly turned into a fury. Barring his fangs he growled, the anger building in his chest like a flame.
"So you're going to turn on us?!?"
Pride lowered the blade, his face screwed up as he fell complicated thought. Raising his eyes to meet his, a deep frown wiggled its way onto Pride's face.
"If that is to be such…….. then so be it……"
Pride
