Lily: They have reasons. And we got four AWESOME people to review!! I felt so happy I almost cried.

Bloodpuppy: Yep!

Lily: They will be thanked later, for now…enjoy chapter 12!


(Alice)

"E-Evangeline! Come back!" Alice shouted as she reached out to grab her best friend.

"Catch me is you can, Alice." Evangeline laughed as she continued to run.

"Wait…Evangeline…" Alice thought as she once again ran around another corner.

Alice skidded to a halt and swiftly looked around. Evangeline wasn't there. She disappeared. Now only a wall stood in front of Alice.

"Evangeline? W-where are you?" she questioned aloud as she walked forward a little.

"Huh? Why is this wire down?" Alice mumbled as she walked over.

"Ed…Al…! This is the place!" Alice exclaimed.

"Was…Evangeline leading me here? Was she just apart of my imagination…?"

"Well, I'll think about that later. Right now, I need to kick some serious ass." I said as I pulled the wire to make sure it was tight and then, with both hands, I started to climb up the wall.

Alice winced. "Ow…my hand." She thought as she looked at her left hand. The wire was digging into her hand, making it bleed.

"I've been through a lot worse." She told herself as she lifted herself on top of the wall.

"B-brother…"

"Al?!"


(Al)

"B-brother…" Al sighed.

"Al?!"

Al gasped as he recognized that voice.

"A-Alice? What are you doing here?" he questioned as she jumped down the wall and ran over to him.

Alice bent down as she tried to catch her breath. "Th-thank goodness, I found you."

"Did you run all the way here?" Al asked.

"Y-yeah," Alice nodded.

"Your hand! It's bleeding!" Al exclaimed.

"It's okay. Nothing but a few small cuts," Alice assured him.

Before Al could say anything else, Alice smacked him, making his armored head fall off.

"Ah!"

"YOU AND ED ARE BASTARDS! HOW COULD YOU LEAVE ME THERE ALONE?!!" Alice yelled as she grabbed Al's arm and swung him around until she let him go and let him fall to the ground.

"Whoa…when did I get so strong…?" Alice mumbled as she stared at her hands.

"Must've been mostly my auto mail hand that helped me," She thought.

"S-she reminds me of Teacher…" Al thought with a sweat drop.

Alice sighed and looked over at Al, who was trying to find his head. Maybe he didn't deserve a lot of that, but he did deserve some. Now…only Ed is left and she'll feel a lot better.

"So…where is, Ed?" she asked as Al stuck his head back on and looked over at Alice, who had her arms crossed.

"He…uh…" Al stumbled for words. Should he really tell Alice what has been happening. Would Ed kill him if he did? He was too afraid to think anymore on that.

"Oh?" Al looked over at Alice who stared up at the open air vent. "Now I remember…"

"Remember what?" Al asked.

Alice snapped her eyes back to Al as she quickly spoke. "Oh…uh…nothing!"

"Is she keeping something from us?" Al wondered.

"Anyways, give me a boost." Alice simply said.

"W-what?" Al blinked.

"I said, give me a boost." Alice repeated.

"Why?"

"Because, I'm going to go look for, Ed," Alice replied.

"Huh?"

"You're worried about him, aren't you?" Alice questioned.

"Yeah," Al nodded.

"Then, I'll go make sure he stays out of trouble." Alice smiled. "Plus, I'm the same height as him, so I shouldn't have any trouble."

Al slightly blushed. He said nothing else as he lifted Alice into the vent. Alice thanked him and told him that he would be back soon and that once again he should wait there. Al nodded and watched as Alice disappeared into the vent.


(Alice)

"Ow! That is the tenth time I had hit my head in this vent!" Alice cried.

"Where's the exit?" Alice thought.


(Alice...five minutes later...)

"Oh my gosh! The exit!" Alice cried as she crawled out of the vent and jumped down. "I am FREE!! Woot!" Alice did her little happy dance for a moment, but stopped when she heard a loud crash.

"Don't underestimate me!"

"I'm not going to give you the time to transmute!"

Alice gasped. "Ed?!"

Alice ran towards the sounds and in a door.

"If I remember correctly, Ed is now fighting against 48 and his brother. So…what happens next…?" Alice thought.

"Ed!" She shouted as she finally spotted a couple of figures not too far from her.

Ed gasped and turned towards Alice who was staring wide eyed at him. Number 48 and his brother also looked, or tried, at Alice. Alice ran towards Ed with a worried expression.

"Ed, are you okay?" she asked as she bent down next to him.

"Wh-what are you doing here?!" Ed angrily questioned.

"I came to check on you! How dare you leave me alone at the apartment! I told you I wanted to help you and Al out!" Alice shouted.

"This is dangerous! You need to get out of here!" Ed shouted back.

Alice closed her eyes and clenched her fists. "I am not leaving you!"


(Evangeline)

Envy and Evangeline walked through the ally ways and streets for a while, and soon enough they came to a worn down building with a huge fence like thing around it.

"WHOA! What's that?!" Evangeline asked loudly pointing to the building.

"It is a building," Envy replied simply.

"NO! What kind of building and what is it used for?!" Evangeline yelled a little annoyed

"Why do you need to know?" Envy asked walking forward.

"Because it has a huge giant stone wall like thing!" Evangeline exclaimed spreading her arms out and standing on the pads of her feet.

"Come on," Envy sighed.

"Okay! How are we going to get in?" Evangeline asked looking slightly dead.

"Sneaking in of course," Envy shrugged walking to the farthest corner of the wall.

"Are you kidding me?! It has barb wire on the top! I will most likely cut an arm off!" Evangeline yelled in shock of the idea of sneaking over the wall.

"Well you will have to be careful then." He said looking at her.

"Can you help me then?" she asked sweetly.

"Why?" he asked eyeing Evangeline.

"Don't get me wrong. I don't feel entirely safe asking you for help, but I would rather get just a cut then a missing limb…" Evangeline said crossing her arms.

"Whatever." He replied walking towards her.

"What are you doing?" she asked blankly.

"Helping you, now get on my back." He said.

"Okay…" she replied jumping on Envy's back and wrapping her arms around his neck. He then jumped over the wall and ran towards the building. Then he jumped in a window.

And in the room there was a desk, a computer, a chair, a lamp on the desk, and two figures standing in the middle of the room. One of the figures a women and she was tall and curvy the other one was short and fat male.

"It took you a while to get here, Envy." The woman said.

"Well, I was held up a little." Envy replied pointing to Evangeline.

"What did I do?!" she asked letting go of his neck.

"You kept on tripping." He replied a little irritated.

"Ooooh yeeeaaah…" Evangeline said as it looked like she was thinking.

"Who is she?" the woman asked.

"She is Evangeline. Evangeline the woman is Lust and the short person is Gluttony." He said introducing them.

"Can I eat her, Lust?" Gluttony asked.

"No." Lust replied.

"NO! I am not food! Speaking of food I am hungry." Evangeline said looking at Envy.

"What? Don't look at me." Envy told her.

"Well it would be nice to eat out every once in a while." Evangeline said looking at the wall thinking.

"What ev-" Envy started.

"Oh wait! I suppose that would too much for you Envy…" Evangeline interrupted in a challenging tone.

"What?" he asked in response.

"You heard me, or are you depth as well as a fun sucker?" Evangeline said smirking challenging.

"Envy, Evangeline. It is time to go. We need to check in on something." Lust said walking out of the door.

"Okay!" Evangeline replied happily following Lust, but Gluttony had disappeared to somewhere. Envy followed shortly after.

"I wonder where we are going…" Evangeline shrugged off the thought and continued to follow the three.

They walked down long hallways that were in a confusing maze like pattern. And they eventually came to a huge room where four people's voices came from. And then they walked in.


(Alice)

"Is she your girlfriend?" Number 48 asked.

Alice and Ed looked at each other with wide eyes before shaking their heads quickly.

"No way! I am not his girlfriend!" Alice protested.

"Why would I date someone like her?" Ed asked as he crossed his arms.

Alice glared at him.

"What? Is there something wrong with me?" she asked.

"I can think of many things wrong with you!" Ed retorted.

"Oh really? Well, I can also think of many things wrong with you too!"

"Oh yeah?!"

"Yeah!"

"This isn't really the time to fight." Number 48's younger brother pointed out, interrupting the two fighting teens.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Ed nodded. "How's Al?"

"He was fine last time I saw him." Alice replied.

"Al?" 48 questioned.

"My little brother. He's like you; he doesn't have a body, only a suit of armor…" Ed said. "But, my little brother is human and you guys are too. I don't want to kill."

That's when number 48 started to laugh. Alice looked over at him and the back at Ed, she knew this part already and what was going to happen.

"I wish I had prepared myself, but no, I had to go rushing in after these guys." Alice sighed.

"That's amusing!" 48 laughed.

"What…?" Ed gasped.

"From the time we could tell right from wrong, we brothers stole, destroyed, and killed. We were labeled as outcasts and savages, and thus lived. To be treated like human beings for the first time ever, after throwing away our bodies rather than our hearts…amusing!" 48 laughed once again. "Kid! You said you wanted to know about the stone, right?"

"Brother! If you talk, we'll be punished!" 48 looked over a his younger brother.

"We'll be punished anyway for being totally useless in terminating an intruder. And we've already died once. It's a little late to be afraid." 48 explained. "Kid, I am giving you a farewell gift. I'll tell you everything!" he said to Ed.

"Everything?" Ed questioned.

"As I said before, I don't now much about Alchemy. I know nothing of the Philosopher's stone." 48 said.

"Huh?! Then what's the point in talking?!" Ed angrily asked.

"I don't know about the stone, but I know who made it. In other words, the ones who told us to guard this place,"

"Who is it?!"

"They are…"

Alice gasped.

"E-Evangeline?"
