Chapter 9: Endless Pain and Sorrow

I am so mad…No reviews for my last chapter! I am so mad…Where were all of my reviews! I want reviews for this chap or after this story I will not create my other story I was planning on writing.

REVIEW!

Sin ran for Lauren, left hand outstretched.

Ed stepped in between them and held up his auto-mail arm. "Stay the hell away from her, you're the reason for some of her pain right now! I won't let you hurt her anymore!"

Lauren smiled some. "Oh Ed…" Lauren started sweetly. "…You moron he'll kill you get out of the way!" Lauren shoved him aside just as Sin reached them.

"You fools, you'll die here and now." Sin grabbed Lauren by the throat with his left hand, claws grew from his fingernails and he dug them into her neck.

She struggled for air, kicking her feet as she was lifted a few inches into the air.

"You bastard!" Ed clapped his hands hi hands and created a blade from his auto-mail arm.

Sin laughed manically. "All I have to do is let the poison seep into her bloodstream and she'll be dead in seconds." Sin laughed again as his claws glowed purple.

"E-d…" Lauren's breathing became labored and uneven.

Ed yelled out and lunged at Sin, he cut his entire right arm off.

Sin showed no sign of caring, not even bleeding. "That won't work…this left arm is what makes me tick…and my eyes that is…" Sin smirked at Ed, who was panting and continued trying to attack him.

Then it almost happened…Ed nicked Sin's left arm.

Sin seemed to growl then he turned around, holding Lauren in front of him. "I'll kill her now if you touch my arm again." Sin said quietly. "Although my boss would rather have a beauty like this kept alive for his own pleasures."

"You're sick. And I know you won't kill her, you can't…You're made from her father's remains, you shouldn't be able to harm her at all." Ed leaned against a near tree, resting.

"Oh?" Sin smiled and, as if he was accepting a challenge, tightened his grip on Lauren's throat, his claws now glowing black. "Go ahead…push me to it…let me kill her…not that I need your permission, the poison is already in her bloodstream." Sin whispered.

Lauren's eyes glazed over, cutting off her sight. Her head was pounding…her blood was like fire running through her body. She tried to cry out but couldn't…She had no oxygen in her body…her skin turned pale and her hair seemed to loose a bit of color.

"Stop it, please; I'll do anything if you let her go." Ed said as he took the blade away from his arm and looked at the ground.

"She'll slowly decay…there is only one cure…she must have blood dropped into her eyes. One drop for each eye. But…it has to be someone special to her who gives their blood to her."

Lauren's eyes turned completely white, the emerald green which Ed fell in love with disappeared behind a curtain of white…but it wasn't gone…just hiding…Ed would give her his blood…he was sure that she cared about him…if only as a brother…

"Alright, I'll do it." Ed stepped forward, still looking down.

"I want something else…" Sin smiled evilly.

"What's that?" Ed looked up at him, but not daring to look at Lauren, who was now almost white, the skin on her arms and legs started to dry, crack, and fall off.

"A life….a sacrifice, in my honor of course." Sin tightened his grip again on Lauren's throat, who was now unresponsive, her arms hung at her sides and her head was tilted back.

"Who's life?" Ed muttered…hating seeing Lauren like this…he had seen a lot, considering what he saw the day he tried to bring back his mother…but this…was horrible, knowing that Lauren could feel everything that was happening to her, inside and out.

"The older man whom I know is still here!" Sin called out to the trees.

Almost immediately, Dirt dropped to the ground, landing on his feet. This will work even better now. Rain will just do as I told her to…and that girl in the homunculus's grasp will be freed. "My life? You want my life? Why would you pick mine when you could have his right there?" Dirt motioned to Ed.

"I want to take you away from your small defenseless little sister, whom I've had the pleasure of meeting once or twice before. Then, when you're out of the picture…I'll have her all to myself."

Dirt swallowed his rising anger and clenched his fists. "Stay away from her." Dirt said surprisingly calmly.

Ed kept quiet and still, realizing Rain was inching down the tree in back of Sin, with Hero right behind her.

Riza got to the central train station and bought a ticket to somewhere, anywhere far far away. "I need to get away…I need my baby…" Riza said as she started to board the train.

Little did she know that she was being followed by a tall man in a black raincoat and boots. He boarded the train after her, and kept an eye on her. "Soon…Hawkeye…soon…"
