-The readers suddenly see Envy tied up in a chair looking around confused and laughter erupts-

Envy: Who's there?!

-Lily and Bloodpuppy are shown laughing as they both point to Envy and fall to the ground-

Envy: What's so funny?

Bloodpuppy: I can't believe you haven't noticed!! Look at your hair and clothes!!!

Envy: -Blinks and looks down, gasps, then looks at his hair. All pink- WHO DID THIS?!?!

Lily: …-Points to a person yelling about killing something. Envy looks over to a chair where Edward Elric still sits tied up and yelling at some strange device that continues to call him short-

Envy: The SHRIMP did this?!

Ed: …-Turns to look at Envy with an angry look- WHO ARE YOU CALLING SHORT?!

Envy: You!

Ed: Grrrr-…

Device: Ed's so short, yes he's short. So, so, so, so, so, so very short!!

Ed: DAMN YOU TO HELL!!!!!

Lily/Bloodpuppy: Now, let's begin chapter 21!!

(-Alice Dream World-)

A voice of a young woman chuckled. "Alice, why are you lying there? Get up and catch me!" Her skin seemed to glow brightly in the dark room. Her long red hair flowed around her waist and her brown eyes were filled with laughter.

"Mm…Evangeline…?" That was the first word Alice was to utter as her eyes fluttered open. The young fifteen year old slowly sat up, her arms keeping her balanced as she did so.

Alice yawned and stretched her arms, glancing around the place she was in. Darkness flooded the room, and it looked like if you walked around the only thing you would find was darkness. Standing up slowly, Alice took a couple steps forward and looked to the right, then left.

"Alice, behind you, silly!"

Alice gasped and turned her heel until she faced the brightly smiling figure. Alice's eyes widened.

"Evan…geline?" Alice mumbled as she took another two steps forward and reached her hand out towards Evangeline, who raised her hand up and waited until Alice grasped onto her hand.

"Alice, you sleep too much. I've been SO bored!" Evangeline complained.

A small smile formed upon Alice's pale lips before tears started to stream down her face. Quickly, each tear came down like a waterfall and fell to the ground. Alice laced her fingers with Evangeline who looked utterly confused at Alice.

"Why are you crying? What, Alice got a boo-boo?" Evangeline joked as she playfully stuck her tongue out at Alice.

Alice laughed through her tears as she said:

"Evangeline, I…I can't believe it…"

Evangeline blinked. "What the fuck are you talking about?"

Alice shook her head. "Nothing…its nothing anymore." She then stepped closer to Evangeline and wrapped her arms around her waist and continued to cry.

Evangeline stood emotionless and dropped her arms down to her side as Alice continued to embrace her, and sobbed into her shirt.

"Evangeline…" Alice whispered softly. "I'm so happy…to have you back."

Evangeline clenched her fists as she said with cold words:

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?!"

Alice gasped as she was thrown back onto the ground harshly, by Evangeline who gave Alice a cold glare. Alice winced in pain and looked back up at Evangeline and reached her hand out at her.

"Evangeline!" she exclaimed as Evangeline started to run away into the darkness. Alice followed. "EVANGELINE!!"

Evangeline said nothing, but continued to run farther into the darkness, with Alice screaming her name over and over again, begging for her to come back.

"Evangeline!! Please, don't leave me!!" Alice cried out. Suddenly, Alice tripped and fell to her knees and Evangeline soon disappeared into the darkness, for good.

Alice held her head and cried bitter tears that slipped through her fingers as she said:

"Didn't you promise? Didn't you promise that you would never leave me, Evangeline?"

Alice continued to cry into her hands before another figure appeared. This figure wore a black coat, and the hood covered their face.

"Alice…" the figure whispered. The still crying Alice, blinked and looked up at the figure, who said:

"You're running out of time…" then, they disappeared.

And…Alice screamed in pain.

(-Back In Reality, Alice-)

Alice screamed in pain as she bolted straight up. Sweat dripped down her forehead and her wet hair stuck to her neck. Her brown eyes were wide and she gripped the blanket tightly as her breathing calmed and her heart raced no more.

"Evangeline…" she thought, clasping her hand onto her forehead and closed her eyes. "And what's with the person saying I'm running out of time...?"

"So you finally decided to wake up, huh?"

Said Edward as he leaned back into a chair, yawing. Alice blinked and glanced over at Ed who stared at Alice with sharp eyes.

"Ed…ward?" she murmured, as she laid her hand on her lap and glanced around. "What am I doing…in this hospital bed?" she asked a moment later, letting her grip loosen on the blanket.

"You don't remember?" Ed asked.

Alice glared at Ed. "If I did then I wouldn't be asking you this question, now would I?"

Ed whistled, smirked, and said:

"Looks like someone got up on the wrong side of the bed today."

Alice glared even harder.

"Brother, is Alice awake yet?" The voice of Al seemed to be a relief to Alice a bit, as his voice was relaxing. Al walked in with a tray of food he received from Alice's nurse to give to Alice. Of course, Al would do anything to help out a friend in need, so he agreed.

"Hey there, Al," Alice greeted Al and waved at him.

"She just woke up." Ed said. Al nodded and walked over to Alice who still lied in the hospital bed, as he said:

"I brought you some food, Alice."

Alice sighed and looked out the window. "I'm not very hungry. Thanks though, Al…" she said.

"Oh…okay," Al nodded and sat the tray of food on the table.

The room became silent between the three of them. Alice continued to look out the window, watching people pass by. Ed crossed his arms and stared at the back of Alice's head before sighing. Al just glanced between the two of them.

"So what's with that tattoo on your back?" Ed questioned.

Alice blinked, slowly turned her head towards Ed and poked her chest mouthing the word 'me'. Ed nodded.

"Tattoo? I don't know what you're talking about…" Alice said.

"Whaaaat? It's on YOUR body, shouldn't you know about things on your body?" Ed asked.

Alice gripped the blanket tightly with both of her hands as she stared down at her lap and said:

"What…does it look like?"

"There seems to be some sort of Angel and Devil on your back…" Al started.

"And they're both holding an hour glass. And the strange thing is…it looks like the tattoo was burned on your back." Ed finished.

"Burned…on my back…?" Alice thought.

"Alice…you said you were not from this side of the gate…" Al gasped when he heard this piece of news from Ed, who continued to speak. "Who are you, exactly? And where did you come from?" he asked.

Alice gripped the blanket tighter until her knuckles turned white. Her eyes were widened and her body shook.

"No…I…I didn't plan on telling them anything about me…I didn't…no…please, something, distract them. I don't want to tell them, they won't believe me!! They'll lock me up somewhere and I'll never be able to find a way home. Please! Somebody, help me!!" Alice screamed in her mind as she shut her eyes tightly, as well.

"Edward! Alphonse! Is Alice awake yet? The train leaves soon and if we don't get going we're going to miss it!!"

Winry exclaimed as she bolted into the room at full speed. Oh, how badly she wanted to go to Rush Valley. But, the whole incident with Alice had happened, leaving the poor girl unconscious for a whole day.

Winry blinked and gasped as she saw Alice was awake. Alice was only to make a quick glanced before Winry grabbed her in a tight hug.

"You're okay!!" Winry said in relief. Alice could only nod before Winry took a step back, pulled out her wrench and threw it at Alice, who fell back onto the ground from the force of the blow. Alice's leg twitched.

"What do you think you're doing, scaring us like that?! You should have told us you have medical problems!!!" Winry angrily shouted at Alice.

Alice grumbled to herself as she lifted herself up and off the floor, and rubbed her forehead where the wrench had hit her. She sat back down on the bed and looked at Winry as she mumbled to herself.

"Medical…problems?" Then, she nervously laughed and turned towards Winry, Ed and Al. "Oh! THOSE medical problems that I have with my…back," Ed and Al stared at Alice strangely, while Winry just crossed her arms and sighed.

"Yes, those problems. What did you do to your back to make it hurt that bad, anyways?" Winry asked.

"I need to think of a lie…and fast. I don't want to burden Winry with what's going on in my life…" Alice thought.

"Well?" Winry asked.

Alice sighed. "When I was little, my best friend Evangeline- who I told you about before- and I explored the forest around our town. I was ten years old then, Evangeline was twelve. I followed Evangeline around the forest, since I got lost easily in it and she knew every part of the forest. We climbed some hills and started to walk over this log that acted like a bridge to us, so we could get over to the other side without falling into the stream that was a very long way down. Evangeline went over the log quickly, while I took my time. I'm…afraid of heights. I called out to Evangeline, who told me to hurry up; I tried but tripped and fell on the log. And then…suddenly the log started to move and then it rolled down the hill, taking it with me. Evangeline was lucky, she only fell and grabbed on some rocks, while I rolled down the sharp hill. I eventually stopped rolling, but the log rolled over my back and a piece of wood broke off and stuck deep into my back. The log damaged my back, leaving me with some major back problems. I was lucky to even survive it." Alice explained thoroughly.

"Oh…I'm so sorry, Alice." Winry said with a sad expression.

Alice smiled softly up at Winry and lightly laughed. "Its okay, my back sometimes still goes into pain just all of a sudden, but it rarely does it!" And then she added in her mind: "I hope…"

Edward sighed and jumped up from his seat as he said:

"Well, shouldn't we get going? I bet everyone is already there waiting for us to say good-bye."

His three friends nodded their heads.

Alice stood from the bed and glanced down at the clothes upon her body. Hospital clothes..., she thought. Alice glanced around the room until she felt a tap on her shoulder. The brunette turned around and banged her nose into something cold. It was Al's armor. Al apologized and took a step back as he handed Alice's clothes back to her. Alice thanked Al and walked to the bathroom, changing back into her clothes. Before she walked out, she stopped and glanced at herself in the mirror, thinking about the tattoo, but then deciding that she did not want to see it, and then she walked back to where her friends were.

Winry smiled at Alice. "I packed your things for you, since I thought you might have not woken up in time to pack it yourself." She said.

"Oh, thank you, Winry." Alice said.

"Oh. And guess what!" Winry started.

"What?" Alice questioned as she titled her head to the side.

"I'm coming with!!" Winry announced.

Alice sweat dropped as she thought: "I completely forgot this part…let's see, we're heading to Rush Valley…oh, right, Winry begged to come along. I completely missed all the good stuff while unconscious. I'm surprised Ed is still letting me come along…even though I've been causing some trouble." Alice sighed, before she turned to Winry with a big smile.

"I'm so glad!!" Alice smiled, before turning towards Al and Ed. "So, the doctor is letting me out of here…?" she then asked.

Al nodded. "Yeah, he said that your body seemed to heal quickly, but he wanted to keep you over night, so he did and then he said that when you wake up you're free to go." He replied.

"I see…"

"Full Metal, sir? Are you ready to depart?" Ross asked as she walked into Alice's room, with Brosh following her. The two looked at Ed, then Al, and then Winry until their eyes landed on Alice, but Ed grabbed their attention again.

"Yeah…we're ready."

(-At The Train Station-)

Alice sighed and slumped onto her seat and Ed, Winry and Al looked out the window of the train and waved good bye to Armstrong and all the others that were there. Ed and Al talked about how they were going to go visit their Teacher, and about how they were going to get killed. Armstrong was crying and everyone else just either laughed or sweat dropped.

"Well, at least I can look forward to meeting Izumi…" Alice thought.

And then, the train departed.

(-Evangeline-)

"Am I dead?" Evangeline asked looking at the older woman.

"Of course not!" she laughed.

"Then where am I?" Evangeline asked the cloaked woman.

"You are in a dream world deep within you conscious." The tall lady replied.

"Okay…So why am I here?" she asked tilting her head to the side.

"That does not matter right now…I need to warn you of up coming events." She said holding up a hand, in a motion to stop her from saying anything about why she was here.

"Huh? May I ask why?" Evangeline asked looking at her confused.

"No…But I will give you some clues."

"I don't like thinking!" Evangeline complained crossing her arms and turning away from the cloaked woman. The cloaked woman sighed as she opened her mouth and said:

"Well to bad! You are going to have to think really hard on this." She slid her hood off her head, revealing pitch black hair, bright green eyes, snow white skin that glowed, and a thin silver crown.

"NOOO! I don't wanna!" Evangeline complained even more as she held her head and looked up at the ceiling. The cloaked woman sighed again.

"She's acting like a five year old…" she thought. The cloaked woman shook her head and looked at Evangeline with a serious expression.

"Like I said before…You will have to. Whether you like it or not," She black haired lady said.

Evangeline gasped as the robed people around her then started chanting "You must remember! You must!" and suddenly their hands started grabbing at her ankles dragging her down into a black hole.

"HOLY--! Let go of me!" Evangeline shrieked as she struggled and tried to kick them off of her.

"Do not be afraid. They won't hurt you." The lady told her as Evangeline disappeared within the grasps of the robed people.

When Evangeline opened her eyes she was seemingly swimming in a black room, but there was no water surrounding her.

"I don't like this! I don't like floating!" Evangeline screamed, her voice echoing through out the dark place.

A voice of a young girl giggled. Evangeline looked in front of her only to see a white dress fading into her vision along with the body of the girl with a blurry face.

"I thought you were dead!" Evangeline shouted pointing at her, still swimming in the air, as she did. The little girl giggled again at Evangeline who angrily glared at the little girl.

"Evangeline, you must remember! Remember who I am! You must, or this trip will end in disaster." the child chanted over and over again in a familiar voice. It sounded like the girl that had chased her down the streets, but more childish and sweet. Evangeline shrugged it off and thought of it as a coincidence as she said:

"Huh? Hey, wait a minute…can you get me down from here?"

"No. I can't help you. But I can push you towards the truth." The little girl replied looking up at her.

"Meanie," Evangeline pouted holding her upper body.

(-Envy-)

Envy decided to sit on the opposite side of the bed near the end, his back resting on the pole of the bed, as he sighed.

"She really does make me wonder…" he said out loud to himself smiling softly. Envy then frowned and blinked at himself. "Did I just smile? What the hell is this chick doing to me?!"

He then looked over at Evangeline. Evangeline's body had almost stopped shaking from pain and her hands were starting to loosen up.

"Hm…maybe she will bleed to death." Envy thought cocking his head to the side, resting his chin on his hand and looking at her fingers that wear almost half way to the second knuckle.

(-Evangeline-)

"God damn you! Tell me!" Evangeline said throwing her fists up in the air.

"I already told you that I cannot. Now if you will listen to me…I will give you a riddle." The white dressed girl said.

"What?! Riddle?!" Evangeline shouted furiously looking angrily at the little girl.

"Yes. Now listen and listen well." The girl replies holding up a finger.

"Lost in this world, you are to find your way out or you will never make it. You are to find your misplaced recollections. Soaring through your past, the people who are close to you shall be revealed. Your eyes shall no longer be blinded." The girl stated before fading.

"Wait! What's that supposed to mean?!" Evangeline asked reaching her hand out but then she started falling into a black abyss.

"No! I think I like floating better than this!" Evangeline shouted falling down quickly.

"Evangeline…one more thing, you must hurry! The race against time…begins!!" then her voice came no more, once again leaving Evangeline alone in the darkness.

Suddenly her eyes snapped open. Evangeline found herself lying there, on the bed, thinking of what the little girl said to her. Race against time…? She thought. She wondered what the little girl meant by that.

"You awake?" Envy asked grabbing her attention.

"Hm? Yeah I guess so…" Evangeline replied pulling her nails out of her arms. "Damn! I did a lot of damage to my arms…" she thought looking at her hands that were in her lap as she sat up.

She then suddenly felt a firm grip on her chin. The hand made her look up into Envy's eyes. His face was inches away from hers.

"Wha…?" Evangeline asked blushing slightly. Her heart pounded in her chest.

"Who are you?" Envy asked blinking looking deeply into her eyes, as if he tried to find the answer in there.

"I don't…know…" Evangeline replied her eyes starting to tear up.

"Really? Are you sure?" Envy asked slowly letting go of her chin.

"No…" Evangeline said looking back down at her hands.

"Okay. By the way you should really check your back. It is quite interesting." Envy said walking out the room. Evangeline blinked.

"What?" she asked throwing off her shirt while running out of the room into the bathroom. Being as curious as ever, she forgot everything else and went to check out her back.

Once she was in the bathroom she unclasped her bra holding her bra on herself, facing her back towards the mirror. She then looked over her shoulder.

"No way!" Evangeline exclaimed in surprise as Envy walked into the bathroom looking at her reaction.

"It is very interesting isn't it?" he asked crossing his arms and leaning on the door way.

"GET OUT!" Evangeline yelled throwing a cup at him, hitting his head dead center.

"Ow! What was that for?" Envy asked rubbing his head.

"Why do you think?" she asked blushing a little again looking back at the devil looking lady and the angelic woman holding an hour glass in their hands.

"I still don't get it…" Envy replied still rubbing his head where he got hit by the cup.

"Oh never mind. Just get out!" Evangeline said still looking at the engraved marking on her back.

"Why?" She knew Envy was just pushing her buttons, and it was working.

"Because I said so!" Evangeline replied, before realizing some of the sand in the hourglass had fallen onto the bottom, while clasping her bra once again.

"Oh…You were being shy." He replied smiling, which pissed Evangeline off.

"No I wasn't! I just didn't want you to see my reaction!" she yelled back, facing him letting her arms rest at her sides

"Really? What's the matter with me seeing your reaction?" Envy asked smirking.

Evangeline sighed. "I don't know! Just help me tend to my wounds. Please?" she asked looking down at the ground.

"You are hopeless…" Envy sighed walking over to her, and grabbing some cloth to wrap Evangeline's bleeding forearms.

"And what is that supposed to mean?" she asked looking up at him while he wrapped his arms.

"Nothing. Don't worry about it." He said finishing up wrapping one arm.

Silence over came the room while Envy wrapped Evangeline's arms and she just stood there emotionlessly.

"You don't seem to be the person to help people…so why are you helping me?" she asked looking at him desolately.

"Because I don't need you hurt when I might need to use you soon, and I find you a bit interesting…" Envy replied finishing the other arm.

Suddenly Evangeline slapped Envy across the face leaving a bright red mark on his face.

"WHAT--…" Envy started.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN 'use me'?!" she asked furiously gripping her hands into tight fists.

Envy just sat on the floor from the shock rubbing his cheek looking up at the shirtless Evangeline.

"What the fuck do you mean by 'use me'?!" she yelled again softer, glaring at him more deadly.

Envy didn't reply he just stared at her blinking still in shock.

"Answer me god damn it!" she shouted wanting an answer.

Still Envy didn't reply.

Evangeline dropped down to the ground. She had started to finally feel the effect the little blood she had working on her body.

"What a troublesome girl…" Envy sighed after he got up off the ground.

"Shut up…!" she replied pointing at him. "…Now help me up…"

Envy smirked as he said:

"Hm? Why should I? You slapped me after all…"

"I am sorry…Please help me up?" Evangeline responded looking up at him with her hair in front of her face.

"Fine," He sighed helping Evangeline up only to have her fall on him.

"Oops…" she said looking slightly depressed, trying to get up.

"Stupid troublesome girl…" Envy mumbled, throwing her over his shoulder.

"Whoa!" she exclaimed pushing herself up with her hands on his back.

"Oh shut up." He said with a roll of his eyes, walking to the bedroom and plopping her on the bloody sheets.

"Hey! Whoever said I wanted to lie down?! I wanna take a shower…" she replied looking at him.

"Too bad…Do that on your own." Envy said walking out of the room.

"Please help me! I really want to take a shower…Then can you help me change the sheets?" Evangeline asked nicely.

"Hmm. Let me think about it…No!" Envy said leaving the room closing the door and leaning against the other side smirking.

"DAMN YOU! YOU BARELY HELP ME OUT WHEN I NEED HELP! AND YOU ARE ALWAYS GONE! How am I supposed to get along with someone who is never around?! I can't work with people like you!" Evangeline screamed, pissed.

Silence…

"IF YOU LEAVE AGAIN WITH OUT HELPING ME ONE MORE TIME, I SWEAR! I WILL LEAVE THIS HOUSE AND YOU WON'T EVER SEE ME AGAIN! AND I AM SERIOUS!" she yelled glaring at the door.

More silence…

"Damn it!" she cursed to herself, getting up and staggering to the door opening it…
