The Blood Spiller
Chapter 10: Eternal Rest
Ed formed the blade of his right arm and charged forward at Havoc. Havoc dodged and reached for one of his knives and thrust it at Ed. The Elric dodged it with immense speed and went to hit him again. Havoc dodged and faked a punch leaving Ed wide open. He thrust the knife at Ed's ribs and thought he had it until he felt something hit his ribs. He stopped to see that Ed had pushed the night backwards and he stabbed himself.
Ed smirked. "Got ya!" Havoc started to laugh. He pulled the knife out of him and alchemically made more, throwing them all around, hitting most soldiers, including Armstrong, Hughes, Falman, Fuery, and others. Hawkeye had ducked out of the way in time and continued to put pressure on to Roy. When she stripped a piece of her shirt off and wrapped it on his wound she started to got o the others. When she reached Hughes, he was dead, killed instantly. The knife had gone thru his heart.
Edward screamed in rage and winced as he felt the blood from his wound he received earlier bleed more. He stumbled but regained balance as Havoc turned back to him. He thrust another blade at him and it struck his shoulder, slicing the top. He grimaced but did not scream. He was starting to feel numb and his vision was blurry. He was losing too much blood. Havoc looked at his condition. You will be all too easy. Its fun to do this to you! Of course, killing Winry and Al was cool too!" He laughed insanely and looked back down at him. Ed felt his adrenaline kick in and he shot a death glare at him. "You stupid bastard, your gonna wish you never said that!"
With lightning speed, Ed stabbed Havoc thru the middle of his chest and felt the blade go all the way thru his back. Havoc stared at him wide eyed and stumbled. Without notice, he pulled a small dagger and threw it at Ed, going thru his chest. This time Ed screamed. He saw Havoc fall dead to the ground. He then fell himself and felt everything drifting away. A voice than came to him. He opened his eyes to see his vision fading but a misty figure was above him. "Don't give up Niisan, just hold on….." Darkness than swallowed him.
Hawkeye waited patiently in the waiting room of the Rizenbool hospital. She had called for help and was now waiting for news about everyone. Her main concern was Ed and Roy. Ed was listed critical and Roy was almost to it, but stayed stable.
A doctor walked in and called her name. "Riza Hawkeye?" She stood and looked at him. How is everybody doing?" She waited patiently as the doc read his notes on all of the patients. "Alex Armstrong is fine, he took a knife in the left part of his chest. His muscles saved his life. He is also sparkly. Cain Fuery is fine, He had a knife in his shoulder and is talking like a clapper to a horse's …. Anyway, Maes Hughes we could not save. He was killed instantly and there was nothing we could do. Mr. Falman has passed away about an hour ago; he detained too much damage that we could not fix. The internal bleeding caught us off guard. Everyone else is fine…"
"What about Roy Mustang and Edward Elric?" She looked at his and felt furious. "Oh, hehe, I forgot about them….." Riza said sorry and slapped him on the cheek causing him to yelp. "Sorry ma'am. Um… oh yes here they are. Roy is doing fine we stitched him up and he is currently awake. Edward is doing well right now. We have been having troubles keeping him stable, but he is a strong fighter. We think he will pull thru though, he is still unconscious at the moment." Hawkeye said thank you and the doctor walked away. She than went to visit Roy. Entering the room, she found him fidgeting with his gloves, as if he wanted to burn something. He looked up at her and had a worried expression. He winced as he moved to face her fully.
"How are you feeling?" Riza waited patiently as he made himself as comfortable as he could. He looked back at her. "Just kinda soar. Damn Havoc! Where is he anyway? I wanna kill him!" Riza shook her head. "Ed has already done so Colonel." He smiled gently than looked again worried. "How is he doing, I heard he was hurt." She rubbed her hands together. "The doctor informed me that Edward is doing ok. He has been unable to keep stable and is still unconscious as we speak. They think he will pull thru." He laughed and winced. "How are the others?" She hesitated. Armstrong and Fuery are fine." She stopped and he waited. "Hughes was killed instantly; the knife had passed thru his heart. Falman died an hour ago from internal bleeding." She watched as Roy gritted his teeth from anger and pain. "I hope that bastard rots in hell for all eternity." He than looked back up at her. "You should see how Ed is doing so you can give me an update." Riza stood from her seat. "Yes Colonel." He shook his head. "Call me Roy since we aren't in Central." She said nothing and walked to Ed's room.
Edward aroused and opened his eyes. He groaned from the soreness and pain that flooded thru him. He tried to lift his head but a voice stopped him. "Brother, stay down, you are far too injured to move now." He saw a blurry spirit of Al and smiled weakly. "You stayed with me." His voice had become hoarse. Al smiled. "I will be here as long as you need me. Ed relaxed and shut his eyes. Footsteps came to his ears, but he ignored them. Soon he drifted back to sleep.
A few hours later, his eyes cracked open and he turned his head to see Riza Hawkeye sleeping in a chair on the other side of the room. He wanted to laugh, but knew it would hurt, so he smiled. As d ruffled the sheets, Riza woke up and stared at him, surprised to see him awake. "Edward, you finally wake. She scooted the chair closer to the side of his bed. He grimaced from his chest. "What happened?" His voice had not changed.
Riza told what had happened when he was stabbed in the chest. She than explained his and everybody else's conditions and that Roy hoped he was feeling better. "Mustang probably feels better than I do." Riza let out a small laugh. She looked at his golden eyes, intrigued to stare into them. He blinked and cleared his throat. "Hughes and Falman didn't suffer, did they?" He frowned and she shook her head. "They never woke up so they felt no pain." "What about Havoc?" He was disgusted at the name, but had to know if he was actually successful in killing the twisted psycho. "He was killed when you…" She pointed at his arm. He nodded and leaned back on his pillow. He felt tired already and wished he was better and out of this place. He hated it.
"I will be back soon, you should rest some more." She stood and walked out of the room. This is the only time I have not cared about killing somebody. "Brother, you will always care, innocent or guilty." Ed gazed at Al who suddenly appeared in front of him. He smiled at his ghostly form. "I am glad to see you pulled thru. Mom says she is proud of you pulling thru to keep up life." Ed smiled. "Can you tell her something for me?" Al looked at him. "What is it?" Ed sighed. "Tell her that I am sorry." Al nodded and disappeared as a doctor walked in with Riza and a few nurses.
Another week passed and Ed returned to the Rizenbool home. They had planned the soldiers' funerals for next week so he had time. Walking upstairs to Winry's bedroom, he called out for her ghostly being. She appeared immediately, smiling at him warmly. He watched as she looked him over and noticed the bandages wrapped around his chest and shoulder. "I'm ok no, don't worry.
Winry smiled again and looked into his eyes. "Thank you Edward. Thank you for letting me able to rest now." Ed looked at her strangely. She sighed with happiness and relief. "I am now able to leave; I am not stuck here any longer. Both Al and I are able to rest eternally." Alphonse appeared next to Winry and nodded with confirmation. He looked at his brother and best friend. Deeply he felt saddened and wished they could stay. Al seemed to read his mind. "We will always be with you brother, we'll never leave you alone."
Ed looked up at them and let a tear fall, only he was crying because he was happy for them. The two started to fade away. Winry blew him a kiss and Alphonse waved and winked. In unison, they said good bye and disappeared. Ed never saw their spirits again.
As days, weeks, and months passed by, Ed always felt the presence of Winry and Al. Thru the funeral of all the soldiers, he could tell they were there watching with him. He was always comforted by the feeling. And most of all, he was happy to know that his brother and best friend weren't really gone….
