Chapter Twenty-four
Edward wasn't going to let these lousy Homunculi get in the way of his goal. If they did, he would get rid of them. One way, or another. Winry's life was counting on retrieving Dr. Marco. And that was just what he was going to do. He dropped his automail arm at his side once more. His lips twisted into a his infamous smirk, the determined glint his amber irises was hidden by his golden yellow bangs.
"Heh. You think I haven't heard this crap before?"
Edward's words took Alphonse off guard, turning at looking at his brother with a confused look in his eyes. Would his brother risk it all if it came down to it? No. The younger brother refused to let his brother slip away from him. Clenching his fists, he narrowed his bronze irises at Lust.
"You want your precious girlfriend to live, don't you, Fullmetal?" Lust's voice drawled in a bored tone while staring at him with narrowed violet irises. "Then hand it over."
"Hand what over?"
"Don't play dumb. The locket. Hand it over."
Edward stuck his hand in his pocket, clenching the golden locket tightly. His mind was racing for alternatives. There was only one. He pulled out the locket into view and Lust smiled to herself. "That's right, hand it here." She urged as Edward looked at the locket with a concentrated look. His golden irises lifted to meet his brother's questioning bronze ones. Nodding his head quickly, he tossed the locket at Alphonse, trusting him to catch it.
"Take me instead. It's a fair trade... Right?"
Author's Note: Extremely short chapter- but I wanted to let you guys know that I was serious about continuing it. Sorry for the cliffhanger. XD But, anyways! Review, pretty please? Feedback is much appreciated and it'll help motivate me to keep this story going. I was kind of sad that no one responded to my return, is this story still worth continuing? I've been asking myself that lately. Review and let me know..
