Chapter Two: How they met
(Disclaimer: I do not own full metal alchemist, but OC characters are mine!)
Ed stared off as far as he could see know, a whole city under ground, it was like something you'd read in a book, but more frightening. A scream echoed behind him, from all the way up at the stairs that stood behind him, he looked behind him and back at the stairs. Ed ran back up the stairs he had just come down from. It was once again in what seemed to be ancient ruins of some kind, in the middle stood a girl, she was dressed in all white, and she was all wet.
"Excuse me," Ed started. She turned and looked at him, her down hair covering half her face.
"Um…Hello," she said looking at him, she touch her hair, she flung in all forward and then behind her again, revealing her face. Ed blushed, he never seen such blue eyes.
"I didn't scare you did I?" she said picking up her dress and walking towards him.
"Was it you who screamed?" Ed said walking out to her.
She pointed up "You'd scream too if you fell from that height."
"That's hundreds feet to fall and land?" He looked at her; something wasn't human about her.
"Land?" she took a step a back "I landed to the deep part," she pointed at the dark water by the larger water falls, "It's some hole."
"Are you alright, then?" he asked looking over his shoulder at the stairs.
"Yes," she looked at the stair as well, "Some where you need to be?"
"What?" Ed said looking at her in astonishment, "How did you know?"
"I just guessed really," She said wiping her face.
"Well later," Ed said running back to the stairs.
"Be careful," she said after him.
Ed slid to stop, "You can come with me?"
"Really, that's nice of you," She said smiling
Ed once again walked down the stairs, behind him the girl; he talked to her over his shoulder, and "So what's your name?"
"Katherine," she said looking at the walls as they pasted them, "Yours?"
"Edward," he said coming to the end of the stairs.
Katherine stopped at the edge; Ed had turned and was walking along the cliff.
"Kind of like Atlantis, no?" She said looking at him
"What's Atlantis?" he said stopping.
"Never mind," she sighed. Katherine took steps back and began to spin around then a wind began to blow towards her. She slowed to a stop the dress and she was dry. Edward stood in shock.
"You all right?" she asked run to catching up to him.
"How did you?" Ed said.
"Its magic silly," she said "Oh that's right you believe Equivalent trade right?'
"How did you know that?" Ed said eyes narrowing.
"You… Katherine stops what she was saying, "Do you hear that?"
Ed shut his eyes and listened, Katherine did the same.
"Music?" said Ed.
"Yeah I think its coming from that castle?" added Katherine.
"Yeah," Ed said and ran, towards it.
Katherine and Ed approached the large font door, Ed went to open it, she grabbed his hand, "Wait, I don't think,"
Ed snatched his hand back, "I have a job to do."
"So do I," said Katherine "To stop you from… never mind, do what ever."
"Fine," answered Ed and Katherine turned on heel and ran around the corner.
Katherine felt tears running down her face, she knew what was going to happen to Ed, she looked at a window just above her head, she walked back ward a few feet, she ran jumped and crashed through the window. Katherine stood up, she had cuts across her face and arms, glass littered the floor, Katherine heard someone coming, The door slammed open and walked in Gluttony.
"Lust," Gluttony cried out.
"Gluttony, you alright?" said Envy behind him, he notice the glass on the floor, "Some one in here?"
"LUST" cried out Gluttony again.
Envy turned and walked out of the room, Gluttony fallowed. Katherine flipped back into the room; hands bleeding from hanging on the window sill. She wrapped them is cloth she rip off the curtains. She ran out of the room, and up the nearest stairs, to the third floor and walked on to the balcony. She looked down at the ground, Ed and Rose where dancing together. She couldn't hear what they where saying but, they sure did look cute together. She said something and Ed backed away from her. A baby crying echoed, a women with short hair stood cradling a baby, Rose took it from the lady. Katherine couldn't remember her name. Katherine was grabbed from behind. She went to scream but her mouth was covered by hand.
"It would have been much more painless if you'd just come when I called," said harsh voice behind her.
Katherine mumbled a name from under the hand; the person removed the hand from her mouth.
"Envy right," she said turning around and facing him.
"You know me, that make this," Envy said snatching her and pulling her close, "So much easier."
"Umm do I have to be so close?" she said smile "On the first date and all." The baby began to cry even more, Katherine tried to pull away and look at what was going on. Ed was shouting at her, but she could hear what they where saying.
"Well that's new," said Envy, "I really did know that princess?"
Katherine shook her head, "Know what"
"That we where we dating?" teased Envy.
"I'd never date you!" Katherine pushed him away.
"ENVY!" screamed, the woman.
"What Diana?" said envy pulling Katherine into few
"Who's the girl," she asked eyes twinkling.
"Cute huh," said Envy looking at her, Katherine stuck her tong out.
Katherine looked around, "Where's Edward?"
"Gone," said Diana "His not coming back."
Katherine ripped away from Envy's grip, and jumped right off the third floor balcony, and landed.
"Where is he?" yelled Katherine approaching Diana.
"What are you, in love with him or something," Smirked Diana.
"Like hell I would," Katherine said, "I have to stop him from traveling through the gate!"
Envy ran out and pinned her up agonist the wall. Katherine yelped, "Envy let me…
"He's all ready gone though?" Envy sighed and kissed her on the lips "You're all mine now!"
Envy dropped Katherine, she wiped her lips off. Katherine stood up and looked at Diana, "What's your plane?"
"To get my body back," Diana said looked at Rose and lookedand back atKatherine.She put a hand on Katherine face, "Give me the crystal!"
Katherine back right into Envy, "No you can't have."
"Envy if you would," said Diana
Next thing Katherine knew was she was pinned down and Diana was coming closer. Diana took a hold of top part of her dress and pulled away, it tore fairly easily; revealing her white bra and the broche that was clipped on. Diana placed her hand on the broche. She snapped it off with out trying.
"Give that back!" yelled Katherine fight to be released from Envy's grip.
"Envy go get the stone," Order Diana clasping her hands around the trinket.
Something hard hit Katherine in the back, she fell forward.
Katherine awoke up and saw Al had been sent on the transmutation circle she had ever seen before. Envy was trying to get Gluttony to eat Al, but he was still going on about Lust. Katherine stood up; she looked around and saw a boy starring into the sky. A blimp was crashing and he wasn't running he just stood there.
"Move dumb ass!" Katherine screamed at the top of her lungs.
The boy looked at her, "Katherine?"
Katherine sat up, "Edward!"
Envy helped her up, "You alright?"
Wrath busted in and ran towards Diana, called on Envy, Envy held him back. She once again had the child in her arms, "Time for you to go"
In a bight light; appeared a door with a eye, Envy let go of Wrath and moved away from him, the door opened and black little arms reached out and grabbed Wraths arm and leg that looked human and tore them off. The door shut, and Wrath collapsed to the floor bleed.
Envy looked at Diana "Why isn't it going away."
"Some one must be come through" answered Diana.
Katherine ran and stood in front of it. Edward pushed with all his might and made it through, and fell right into Katherine arms.
"It's ok you're safe now," said Katherine
"Katherine?" asked looking up at her.
Envy clinches a fist and pulled Katherine away from him by her hair, she dropped Ed; Envy threw her to the ground.
"Katherine!" yelled Edward standing up.
Edward turns to fight Envy but its now Dr Marco,Diana "Welcome back. Then Envy turned in to the Hughes, Ed dodged the throwing knives; and hit him right in the face knocking him to the ground. Ed pines him down, Envy tries everything to trick Ed but he kept giving him a fist to the face until, Envy suddenly looks like his father, Ed stopped and hesitated.
"Edward Please it's a trick!" yelled Katherine. "Kill him!"
"Too bad Edward!" said Envy. He change his right arm into a sword and stabbed him right thought the chest. Edward spate up blood and Envy shoved him off. Katherine was at a lost of word and covered her mouth as blood red tears ran down her cheeks. She ran too him and lifted him off the blood covered ground. Rose cried out his name and wanted to run to him, but Diana stooped her. Katherine held Edwards face to her crying even harder. Suddenly a light shined and the broche was returned to her hands and Katherine once tore dress was replaced with on of dark blue. And a crest moon appeared on her fore head. Envy stood up and started laughing. Katherine in raged went to attack him but was nock to the ground right next to Ed splashing his blood all over her.
"Now Gluttony" yelled Diana. Gluttony began to feed on Al's armor.
Rose turned to Katherine "Do something!" Gluttony stood up and made a grunting sound. The bottom of his mouth melted away.
"I'll save my brother!" Al said sitting up.
"Oh no," said Diana "he's activated the symbols."
Al looked at Katherine, "Back away from him please."
Katherine nodded and back away from him and his brother, she stood only a few feet away, Envy went to stop him.
"I love you ed and this for you," said Al, "for the all trouble you went through for me."
Red and strange symbols lit surrounded the room. Katherine covered her eyes with her hand. She now stood beside Ed who seems transparent, Envy looked around.
"What is this?" he asked.
"Your punishment," said Ed
"How do you get out?" Envy asked.
"Through the door," Ed answered.
Envy looked at Katherine, "You coming?"
"She'll stay right here," Ed said taking her hand.
"What ever," he said walking towards the door, he opened it up and was pulled in. It closed silently, tears ran down his cheeks. Katherine crescent moon shined and she disappeared, she opened her eyes, she was leaned up ageist a pillar, and she saw Ed standing in the center of a transmutation circle. Katherine stood up and fell forward; Ed caught her under the arms.
"Oh Ed," Katherine said looking at him, his shirt was off; noticed the markings on his arms, chest and forehead. "What are you doing?"
He touched her with his right hand, Katherine it scared her at first contact, then she realized, she took it with her own hand and kissed it softly.
"You know what I must do." Ed said blushing.
"Yes," Katherine said smiling; she brushed his bangs out of his face, kissed him gently on the lips.
Edward blushed, "Thanks,"
"What I am I to do now?" she said tears filling her blue eyes again, Ed hugged her.
"Go home Princess Serene." He said and the walked away from her.
"How in the world did?" asked Katherine walking up to him.
Ed put his hand up and shook his head, "Watch over Al, will you?"
"Yes of course," she said backing away.
A blue light surrounded him and he disappeared, leavening only Al there, as a he was when he first lost his body. Katherine cried and ran and hugged Al. Shortly after she returned back to own time after taking Al back to Rizinbull with Rose.
(Well what do you think?") R/R PLEASE!
