Distraction Chapter 4-Safe
Deticated to Anaru-Minime who made me laugh in email lol. and by the way Sp means Spelling.
Lt Ross had stopped to catch her breathe when she was sure that the Homoculus wasnet following her and he looked down at the shivering boy clinging to her back "Ed..." she said with a tone full of sadness yet eyes that held unspeakable rage for what he did to Ed she saw Ed as her own son almost she was very close to him expecilay after the Central Lab 5 Incident sure Ed was rude brash and mean sometimes but his past had been an unhappy one so she understood when Ed didnt reply she smiled as his grip on her tighted he was clinging to her like a frightend child witch is exactly what he was right now she just smiled and began to walk her steady footstep's makeing there way as she began to softly sing a long forgotten lullaby from he childhood in hopes of calming him down as she held a slow steady walking pace through the back alley to the place she called home it would be safer there Since Envy didnt know were she lived Cental was to dangerous right now.
About an Hour later she had made it home with Ed still clinging to her she looked around just incase they were followed and didnt see anybody she even scanned the rooftops just incase she sighed reliveingly when she saw no one and took out the keys to her house and unlocked the door stepping in side prying the boy of her back to set him on the couch and started to walk away when she heard Ed whimper. "relax Ed no body saw us and ill wont im just going to get some dry clothes for us ok?" She gave a gentle reasurring smile and went to go get dry clothes now she didnt have boy's clothe but she had baggy shirts he could wear until there clothes dried she came back out change and handed one to Ed."ill wait for you hear Bathroom's down the hall."
Ed nodded a weak smile atleast he tried to anyways as he headed for the bathroom to change he found it and opened the door and stepped inside changeing out of his soaking clothes and into the baggy shirt she gave him he then looked up into the mirror cleaning his tear stained face in the sink and looked back into the mirror as the water driped of his face he thought he saw something in the mirror he blinked confused but he saw something that wasent suposed to be there was it his mind playing trick's on him or was Envy really in the mirror he saw Envy with that wicked grin of his speak to him "Ed why did you run away from me now im hurt i guess now ill just have to punish you" Ed's eyes widend in horror as Envy seemed to come out of the mirror and grab his shirt dragging him into to it he screamed and snapped back to reality when he shook his head he saw Maria shakeing him he hugged her tightly as she whisperd soothing words to him she stood up and carried him out he took one last look at the mirror and saw nothing maybe he was going crazy-
She sat down on the couch with her arms around Ed holding in a protective maner when she eyed the baggy shirt he was wearing when he started complaining about she rolled her eyes yep. same old Ed. she began to laugh he did look quite silly and he joined her in laughing shortly after words it as good lighthearted moment after all the stuff he'd been through it was good for him to have a laugh it was soon qiuet again and she had a hold of Ed's braid twirling it lightly "Ed you ok?" "yeah... for now... thanks" Some of his orginal tone returned to his voice he was starting to calm down after all this had happend she smiled Greatful for that or so she thought when she heard a sobbing and looked down he was crying she pulled him back into her arms and began to sing sweetly to him "The More The Light Shines Through Me The More I Close My Eyes The More The Dark Consumes Me I Pretend Im Burning Bright..." She stoped singing when he fell asleep in her arms and wiped the tears away with he hand and lifted the sleeping boy of the couch and carried him to a back bedroom she always had a spare for some weary travler or something like that Etc.
After gently tucking him into to and watching him for a sec she quietly shut the door to let him sleep she made her way back into the living room and sat down on the arm of her couch stareing out the window as the rain came down harder outside though she tried to hide it her face contorted in Rage "Youll pay for this...-she whisperd quietly" your Rat Bastard...ill get you for this Envy and ill make you wish you never put your dirty hands on him" After than she went dead silent she sat there for hours the candle going out in the living room she still sat there through the night stareing out into the rain-
