I'm back.

It took me longer to update 'cause I didn't get many ideas. I always get odd disclaimers.

disclaimer: If I could rule the world as queen, Ed would be king. Sadly I,at the moment, only own my characters.

On to chapter 8!

Ch. 8 Ambush

"Sarai..." Ed trailed off again as she finished the song.

Ed transmuted a staircase so he could get to the roof. When he got to the top he sat next to her. He noticed the tears that fell into Sarai's hand became blue stones.

"So that's how you made them..." Ed said as he took out the necklace staring at the flashes coming from the stone.

"I'm...Sorry...Ed..." Ed turned and looked at Sarai,

"What do you mean?"

"I... I'm not cut out to be an alchemist." She said shutting her eyes.

(((Space)))

"What are you talking about!" Ed yelled. I know a secret that would destroy our friendship. I thought.

"Where's this bull coming from!" Ed yelled. I gasped and he stopped.

"I'm sorry." Ed apologized.

"It doesn't matter." I replied. There was silence for five minutes.

"I like the dress." Ed said.

"It was my mother's..." I replied tears starting to blur my vision.

"Oh..." Ed replied.

He doesn't mean it and you know it. I gasped as I heard the voice in my head say, He's stupid, so destroy him. He caused you misery and you did zilch. He doesn't care. He hates you. He's taking advantage of you.

No! He hasn't done any of that! Who are you! I thought as I felt myself get sucked down. I saw a mirror and went in front of it.

I'm you. I heard my reflection say.

What! That's impossible! I yelled and my reflection replied,

I'm from your past. The past you don't remember.

No! I'm not a homunculi! I screamed as my reflection stepped out of the mirror.

I'm afraid it's true. How else would you survive four bullets in one arm? How come you have a healing touch? How come you can shapeshift? The answer is simple. Your a homunculi. My reflection said as the words shattered my soul.

In an instant I was back on the roof top.

Why am I here? I asked myself as I took out a jack knife and began cutting my arm.

"Sarai!" I gasped as I remembered Ed was on the roof as well. Ed snatched the knife away and broke it.

"What the hell do you think your doing!" Ed yelled.

"I don't belong here!" I yelled as I began sobbing in my arms.

"What!" Ed looked surprised as he began to speak softly.

"Everyone has a reason to live. Everyone deserves to have a chance."

"Then why's my life so miserable!" I snapped.

"Sometimes life gives you the hardest tests. Life is never fair." Ed replied giving me a serious glance.

"I hate my life! Why do I belong here? The point is I don't 'cause I'm a-" Then a dart hit my arm.

"What the-" I began to feel drowsy and began to fall.

"Crap!" Ed yelled as he grabbed my hand.

"Hold...On...Sarai!" Ed yelled as he began slipping.

With the last of my strength I drew a circle and activated it with my head. A slide appeared with cusions on the bottom as Ed lost his grip and we both fell.

When Ed got to the bottom he caught me and set me down. I tried to get up, but Ed pushed me back down.

Ed transmuted his arm into a sword in front of me as I heard a laugh.

I heard a click behind the trees and a rustle of bushes.

"Run!" I yelled as Ed grabbed my wrist and we ran to the house. A couple seconds later, there was a gigantic explosion destroying many trees.

I looked at Ed and he looked afraid. I felt the same way and I was falling asleep.

"Get back here!' Someone yelled as we went through the front door.

"What's all the commotion?" Isabela asked as she came out of the training hall.

"Hunters!" Ed yelled carrying me up the stairs.

"Hold on! Hide here!" Isabela yelled as she lifted up the carpet revealing a trapdoor. Ed came back down and helped me through the darkness.

"Get Al!" Ed yelled and a few minutes later, Al and Isabela came through the trapdoor and locked it.

I heard the men come in a few minutes later, smashing things on the ground. I got nervous when they walked over the trapdoor. I squeezed Ed and he flinched for a moment, but relaxed.

After what seemed like an hour or two the men left. The stone around my neck and Ed's neck began to glow.

"We're safe for now." I said shakily. Ed transmuted his arm back to metal.

"We should stay down here for the rest of the night, just in case." Isabela responded sternly eyeing me and Ed.

"Oh!" I quickly let go of Ed and we both blushed. "

"An automail arm, huh? That's probraly what gives

you an advantage in a battle." Isabela concluded.

"Yeah." Ed replied.

"Your an alchemist aren't you?" Isabela asked.

"Yeah." I replied for him.

"That's good." she replied.

"I thought you hated alchemists!" I shouted.

"No, wasn't that Korayna?" Isabela asked.

"Oh, right." I replied embarassed.

Then Ed's and my necklace's began vibrating and glowing bright.

"We need to get out of here now!" I yelled. We went to the top of a hill and watched the entire house explode.

"H-How did you know that would happen!" Al asked.

"I-I-I didn't!" I stuttered and looked at Isabela who was calmest of the group.

"No big deal. Ed can transmute it back." Isabela replied.

"Hey, your right!" I yelled in triumph.

The necklace's glowed again and I caught a dart. I whipped around and didn't see anyone. I turned slowly towards the forest and saw a glint of metal.

I aimed and flicked the dart. The dart hit someone 'cause there was a yelp.

"Here!" I tossed two stones to Isabela and Al. Ed looked at me as I shut my eyes. Trust your power... be your power... control your power... use your power! My mind rang as I charged into the forest.

(((Space)))

Do Ed and Sarai like each other, but afraid to admit it? Al thought as Sarai charged into the forest.

"Sarai wait up!" Ed yelled running after Sarai. A couple minutes later I heard Ed say, "Your not kicking ass without me!"

(((Space)))

"Where did she go?" Ed asked. I guess the stone can help. Ed thought as it vibrated. Sarai slammed into the ground in front of him. She wasn't moving.

"Sarai!" Ed panicked leaning over her. By mistake they're stones hit each other. Sarai bolted up like she was electrified and smacked into Ed's lips.

I know, it was kinda short. I couldn't think of any thing else to write (I'm such a bad writer). It's 10:31 pm on August 5th, 2005. Mom wants to kill me or she wants to hire someone to do it. Well, the stones colided with each other (which gave sarai power) so she sat up and ran into Ed's lips (how I love my chapters! -)! R&R! No flames please!
