Chapter 14: About That….

I managed to write this out while 'studying' (wink)

It turns out Dirt and Rain had been working for a man who calls himself Night because they know the land so well. They worked together with Sin, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, and another Homunculi named Raven. Night had loved the woman whom Raven was created out of and swore to himself to return Raven to that very same woman. His gift to Raven one Christmas was a black card, which with every life it took, it changed colors. Raven had loved it; she was always ready to kill, to protect then one she loves, Night. Raven is fiercely loyal to him and would return to Hell for him if he were to live.

Though Night feared of sending Raven out alone, she opted to go for Kaara herself, alone and ready. Night allowed her to go out, which she rarely does except to 'charge' her card. Raven can hardly remember anything thing about this Sarah woman who she was created form. Now she only knows the sight of blood and death, she only follows Night's orders, listens to no one else, forgets about love all the time…

Night lost his fiancée, Sarah, years ago. He was alone…until he heard about human transmutation and the philosophers stone. He could bring Sarah back then recreate her! He started working on his plan right away. He had all that he needed besides the stone; he figured he would get it later.

Night put his plan into effect on Christmas Eve at 11:58…he drew the circle at 11:59…He brought in Sarah's remains at 12:00…He put his hands on the transmutation circle at 12:01…Raven was created at 12:05 Christmas Day. For his sin, Night lost the left side of his face, which he now wears a white mask over. He spent the next two years searching for Raven and the philosophers stone, only one of which he found, Raven.

Raven had little memory of Night, formerly known as Chris, but she knew he had been significant to this Sarah woman…

Night and Raven were together for years after that, teaming up with pother homunculi and a former state alchemist, Shou Tucker. All of which were now in Hell. (Raven killed Tucker just before Lust)

Now Night and Raven were on their own, Raven looking for a small child who holds a deadly secret…She heard that the secret "Lies within her yes". Raven immediately knew the girl would be blind…she lived for riddles and puzzles.

Raven and Night were always watching from a distance. And when they saw two short state alchemists take the child, Raven came out of hiding. She followed them onto a train and stayed hidden, waiting for her chance. Night told her that the train would be going to Central, he would meet Raven there.

Raven had strict orders to capture Kaara and the female state alchemist, and kill the other and the traitors. She would follow the orders as far as she can even if it meant her death, she would do it for Night.

Now she stayed in the baggage car of the train, waiting.

Lauren and Ed knew all of this now. (Besides Raven being there now)

Dirt and Rain looked out the window and Kaara had fallen asleep.

Ed turned to look at Lauren. "Are you alright?"

Lauren looked back at Ed. "I'm her cousin, Ed. I'm holding Uncle Roy's daughter…she's eight years old…Roy and Riza kept this a secret…from 'me'!" No emotion played across Lauren's features. Which frightened Ed to no end…Lauren's eyes always showed a hint of emotion…but not anymore…

Riza looked at Roy.

Roy looked at Riza.

Courtney looked at both of them. "Excuse me, you'll both have to leave."

Riza glanced at Courtney. "I still have to talk to you…about Shane."

Roy narrowed his eyes. "Who's Shane?"

"My ex-fiancé, I've told you about him…I was with him before Ishbal." Riza crossed her arms. "Why are you here Roy? You can't have come because you love me, you've made it pretty clear you don't."

Courtney walked backwards into another room.

Roy walked up to Riza, grabbed onto her arms, and shook her. "Don't you dare say I don't love you! I love you more than life itself! You and Kaara are the most important things in the world to me!"

Tears filled Riza's eyes and before she knew it Roy had drawn her into a deep kiss. She put her hands on his chest as if to push him away…but she leaned more into the kiss.

Roy wrapped his arms around Riza's waist and pulled her close. I love this woman…

Riza put one arm around Roy's neck, keeping the other in between their chests. I love this man…

There's chapter 14! Please review!
