Chapter 13: Just Got Lucky
Ok, clearly all of you(well some of you) love my story…..so I am going to continue! I even got a monkey from someone! (thank you!)
Ed and Lauren kept running as fast as they're legs would carry them.
Kaara had obviously been starved, so she was very light and didn't weigh as much as an eight year girl should weigh.
But what happened next surprised them most of all. Two pairs of hands reached out from the bushes and pulled them in. Lauren held onto Kaara tight, afraid to loose her.
Kaara screamed, Lauren yelled, and Ed swore. Hands clamped down over their mouths and someone laughed. Her voice was cold, yet jokingly evil.
Ed and Lauren were looking at Dirt and Rain! Rain smiles at Ed. "Just be quiet, we'll explain soon as we get back to the nearest train station to send you home."
Lauren and Ed nodded and Dirt and Rain dropped their hands, Lauren calming down Kaara.
"Why did you come back?" Lauren looked from Dirt to Rain.
Ed looked around. "Where's Hero, Rain?"
Rain looked at the ground. "Our boss killed him because we failed him." She spoke quietly.
"I'm sorry." Ed said then looked at Dirt. "Yea…why are you back?"
"We had strict orders to find and take Lauren with us because she's in relation to this little girl." Dirt started to explain.
"What?" Lauren looked from Kaara, who had just clamed down, to Dirt.
"We'll explain it on the train. Come on." Rain pulled Ed's arm and they stepped out of the bushes, Dirt helped Lauren and Kaara.
Ed and Lauren exchanged short nods. "How do we know this isn't just a trap so you can get Lauren, or Kaara?" Ed stepped towards them.
Rain glared at Ed. "Do you think that I would lie about Hero being killed, don't you think that I would avenge his death by disobeying our former boss by getting Lauren and Kaara farther away from him!"
Dirt placed his hand on his sister's shoulder and she sighed and started to walk off. "Let's go." Dirt followed her, then Lauren, carrying Kaara, and Ed followed him.
Lust walked for a few minutes then turned to the right. "I know you're there, no bother hiding from me."
A woman dressed in all black stepped out from the shadows. "Good Day Lust, I trust you are on your way to collect the child?" Her voice was dark and cold, like a murder mystery waiting to be solved.
"Why yes I am Raven. Won't you join me?" Lust smirked and crossed her arms.
"No, you'll be joining Sin now. I'll take care of the child from here on out." Raven stepped closer to Lust.
"Oh? And where's Sin?"
"Hell." Raven moved in the blink of an eye and Lust was dead.
In Slow Motion……..Raven pulled out a gold card from her pocket and ran it down Lust's body from head to toe, draining the life from inside of her into the gold card, Lust fell to the ground and turned to ashes.
Now the gold card shined silver. "Another life….another power." Raven slipped the card back into her pocket and started walking. "Too bad you'll never become human again…that'll be saved for me…and Kaara will help."
Lauren, Ed, Dirt, and Rain jumped on the back of a departing train. (along with Kaara). They took a few seats next to the door and sat down.
"Mommy…Daddy…" Kaara whispered.
Lauren stroked Kaara's jet black hair and she calmed down.
"Alright….now explain." Ed demanded, looking from Dirt to Rain.
"Well…"Rain started.
Mustang jumped off of the train which had just arrived in Black, Fire at his feet. A few people looked at him in his state alchemist uniform and swore at him or jeered him. He let it go and walked out of the train station, heading west, seeing a blonde wearing a blue uniform…he sped up.
Riza stopped in front of a small white house and walked to the door. She knocked twice and waited.
The door slowly opened. A woman's face came into view, pale and scarred. "Yes, what do you need?" Her voice was fragile and weak.
"Courtney, it's me Riza Hawkeye, from a few years ago…do you remember, you helped with my daughter, Kaara…?" Riza smiled warmly, hoping she would remember.
"Riza….Kaara…Those names are unfamiliar to me." A strand of red hair fell in front of Courtney's face.
"Please, Courtney…if I could just refresh your memory…over tea?"
"No thank you, I want nothing to do with a state alchemist whom just killed my brother." Courtney was about to close the door when Riza pushed past her to get inside. "Excuse me miss, but you'll have to leave!"
"Your brother, Shane, was my fiancé over ten years ago. I only killed him because he wanted me back, and I know what he's done to you…your face, Courtney…I know how it looked before…you were beautiful…you still are, anyone can see that."
A knock came at Courtney's door and she walked over to it. Before she could open it, Roy opened it from the outside. "Riza."
"Sir!" Courtney yelled placing a vial over her face.
"Roy?" Riza couldn't believe he followed her all the way over here…he really does love her!
"You shouldn't have killed whoever you killed!" Roy completely ignored Courtney, who walked out of the room.
"……o.o….." Is he for real!
