Chapter five: Dual personalities
"Coniniaue, wait!" Edward turned and followed her and the thief. "Coniniaue!"
Coniniaue dove and tackled the thief's legs, grounding him. "GOTCHA!" She laughed.
"Coniniaue. Haha, how long has it been? Are you the military's lapdog now?" The thief laughed under his… Well, HER… mask.
"Shut up! Who are you?" Coniniaue ripped off the thief's mask and gasped. She was looking into the eyes of… Herself?"
Edward dashed in at that very moment. He fell over. "OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?"
"Go away." Coniniaue hissed to the thief Coniniaue.
"Coniniaue, little sis!" The other Coniniaue smiled. "Don't talk like that to big sis!"
"You're not my big sis. We are EXACTLY the same age." Coniniaue growled. "Dominique…"
Edward just stared. Normal dressed Coniniaue. Black-jumpsuit dressed Dominique. Which was hotter? Teen instinct said Dominique.
"Haha, the only reason your name is Coniniaue is because dad spelled 'Dominique' wrong. Ha." Dominique laughed.
"Shut up…"
"Are you…" Edward blinked. "Twins, or something?"
"No. Coniniaue is the original one of us. She was created when dad accidentally merged his two daughters together, Connie and Donna. When he split us, we looked exactly the same. So now we are two people. I got the Donna personality, she got the Connie personality."
"Shut up!" Coniniaue shouted. She clapped her hands and made a pair of handcuffs from the ground. She put them around Dominique's hands.
"So… You lied." Edward glanced at Coniniaue.
Coniniaue sighed. "Well, sorta. It WAS human transmutation, except when dad split us, there was this huge rebound where he had to put artificial hearts in us and had to drain out our blood. He was a doctor as well as a alchemist."
Edward sat down, rubbing his head. He glanced up at Dominique and saw the wild, insane expression on her face.
"Dominique?"
"Yeah?" Coniniaue stopped dragging Dominique away to let Ed speak.
"Are you also behind the local murders?"
"Yeehehehehe!" Dominique stared at him with that insane leer. "Yup, yup yup! Hehehe! Bodies go splat! Splat splat splat!"
Edward just stared. "I'm… I'm going to go call the police…"
