I had to end it short, cause my little cousin is playing a game and every ten seconds he asks me to get him past this one part. I'm ready to throw the game out the window.

This chapter is kinda bloody and depressing, I meant to make one long chapter, or to just make the insane part shorter but I like my short chapters better.

Next chapter will be up sometime soon, since I already have the whole end of the story planned out in my head. Ed and I you all and hope you like this chapter. Thank you all for the favs and comments, they make me happy :3

Oh yeah and I'm finally starting cyber school on Monday, so the chapters may be posted later than normal (Cause I need to catch up, since school started like a month and a half ago)

Blood Spilled

I know Ed isn't there anymore, the wolf inside has completely taken over. I can see the bloodlust and hatred glowing in his golden eyes, but those feelings aren't his.

He crouches down and looks up at us through blond bangs, baring his teeth. The snarl he's giving May and I looks like some sick smile. Ed slowly approaches us, setting one misshapen paw in front of the other, claws digging deep into the wooden floor.

I see his eyes wander between us, like he's deciding who to attack first. He smiles and locks his eyes on May, who is holding Xiao Mei tight to her body, shaking from head to toe.

Before my brother can leap at her I run to her side, pushing her into the corner of the room just as Ed leaps. I dodge the attack, but his claws have slashed my shoulder slightly. The wound isn't deep, but it's just enough to make blood splatter on the floor.

I fall to the side and land in front of May, watching as Ed lands on all fours, turning to face us. I sit up and shield May with my body, fixing my brother with a hard golden glare. He doesn't seem to mind as he walks forward, but he stops when his front paws step in the small puddle of my blood.

I watch in horror as he raises his paw, sniffing the blood with a curious look in his eyes. His tongue darts out and laps up the blood, hunger shinning in his eyes as he licks the remainder of the blood on the floor.

As soon as all the blood is gone he turns his attention back to us, eyes narrowed. Every muscle in my body tenses as Ed readies himself to leap. Time seems to slow as he flings himself at me, paws outstretched with deadly claws aimed at my throat.

I feel his claws dig into my shoulder, slicing through flesh like butter. I grit my teeth and raise my right hand over his head. With all the strength I can muster I slam my hand into the back of his head, knocking him sideways. Ed lets out a startled growl as he hits the floor, shaking his head as he looks back up at me.

"Alphonse, be careful." May whispers from the corner, I know she wants to fight but she's too scared. I'll make sure Ed doesn't hurt her, even if I have to sacrifice myself.

Ed stands up slowly, looking at the ground and shaking his head. I take my chance and tackle him, digging my nails deep into his boney shoulders. He lets out an angered howl and stands on his back legs, shaking back and forth in an attempt to get me off his back.

Then he backs up, slamming my body into the wall with tremendous force. I hold on tighter as he slams me into the wall again and again, letting out grunts and growls. My hands slip and I fall to the floor, body hurting all over.

I look up to see Ed standing over me, deadly smirk on his face. I let out a cry of pain as his claws slash my face, making huge claw marks across my cheek. I see him raise his paw and lick the blood from his claws, eyes filled with insanity and bloodlust. As he raises his paw high in the air I brace myself, awaiting those claws to dig deep into my throat.

Ed lets out a shriek of pure agony, falling to the side and landing on the floor in a heap of fur and bone. I look up to see May standing up, fear and sadness in her eyes. Tears slowly slide down her face as she falls to her knees, sobbing hysterically into her hands.

"I'm sorry! He was hurting you and I had to do something!" She wails. I look over at Ed and gasp, seeing a transmuted object buried deep in between his shoulder blades. It's the heart that Winry made for us, made into a dagger that protrudes from his back. The skin around the wound is burned, like the blade was on fire.

I run over to Ed quickly, grasping the end of the blade with both hands. I pry it out of his back and watch as blood pours out like a small river, running down his thin back.

"Al…" I look down and see the sanity return to Ed's eyes and from the horror and sorrow glowing in his golden gaze I can tell he knows what happened. Tears run from his eyes as he lets out a howl of sadness. I watch as he touches his right claw to his left shoulder, digging deep into the skin until blood wells up around his claw.

"Brother no…" I trail off as he puts a large gash in his shoulder; he lets out a howl of pain and looks back at me.

"I cut your left shoulder, so I need to cut mine." I can tell he's slightly delirious, eyes filled with pain and sorrow. Suddenly his boney back heaves and he makes a horrible retching sound. Ed sits up and lowers his head, vomiting up a mouthful of my blood onto the floor.

He falls to the floor and lies there, panting and looking up at me. "I'm sorry…so sorry…hurts so much…sorry…" He whispers over and over again, a horrible emptiness filling his eyes.

"Calm down Ed, please, it's okay." I kneel down next to him, petting his head in a desperate attempt to soothe him.

"Kill me…hurts…please…end it…make it stop…" It's like he's seeing something that isn't there, his eyes are staring blankly ahead. May walks over to us and puts her hand on my shoulder, looking down at Ed with bloodshot eyes.

"I wish I never would have suggested this, he's in pain and I caused it." She places her hand on his head, tears falling from her face to land on his muzzle. Ed looks up at her, a look of fear and pain in his eyes.

"Am I dying…it hurts so much…don't want to die…" He whispers. May shakes her head and smiles weakly.

"Your not dying, the potion is supposed to do this. It'll end soon I promise." So May and I sit there, gently petting Ed as he lies panting and gasping in pain. I know all three of us are thinking the same thing; we all just want this to end so badly.
