Gwg: Once again, I have an update to When I Was Gone! Sorry that it took so long to get out. I was working avidly on it until I got Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince which got me pissed after I read it...sighs And now school is occupying my time...and once again I'm sooo sorry that it took so long to get this updated.

When I Was Gone
Chapter Two
Captured

The smell of blood and smoke invaded his senses while the coppery taste of blood remained in his mouth. He felt the sun beating down upon his back as a small groan escaped him. His memory was foggy, but he could remember the flash of a building exploding and screaming before his mind went blank. Another groan escaped him as he pushed himself upon his hands and knees, coughing up some blood. His military uniform was hanging off of him, ripped and torn.

A dull pounding was in his right leg as he tried to focus on the ground beneath him. It was hard and felt like rock...nothing like the sand that had seemed endless as he stared out over it. Roy coughed again as he looked around to see that he was no longer in a desert, but in a cell. The sun beating down upon him came from a window that was directly above him. The smell of smoke was from his torn uniform, while the blood he tasted was his own.

"Damnit..." he mumbled to himself as he tried to get his barings. He had no idea how he had ended up here...of even where 'here' was. Obsidian eyes took in his surroundings, but all he could see was stone and metal bars blocking his way out. Since he could feel the stone with his hands, Roy knew that he no longer had his gloves with him. There was always the option of drawing a transmutation circle with his own blood, but it wasn't worth the effort or time in his mind.

"Dear, dear Taisa. You nothing more than a normal human without your gloves."

The voice echoed slightly as the sound of boots connecting with stone reached his ears. Roy was surprised at the thought that someone was here, although he didn't know why. The flame colonel looked up to see who had stopped in front of the cell, and a gasp escaped him. Standing there was one of the homunculi, Envy to be exact.

A malevolent look was upon the face of the homunculi known as Envy. His smirk was nothing short of scary as Roy laid helpless on the stone floor. His side was stinging and his leg was pounding along with his head, but that was the least of his worries. Right now Roy was worried about how he was going to get out of here and back to Edward.

"H...how long have I been here?" he asked in a shakey voice. Roy silently cursed himself for sounding so weak in front of the enemy, but it really couldn't be helped.

"One week, Taisa. Lust was beginning to wonder whether we should just kill you already."

A week...a week in which he hadn't written Edward...or read any of the blonde youth's beautiful letters. He could still remember the last words of the last letter he had read.

"Come home soon, Roy...my arms ache because I can't hold you and my heart pounds everyday that I don't receive a letter from you..."

Dark eyes closed as he heard the cell door creak open. The clicking of boots against stone stopped as Envy halted just a few inches from Roy. He was surprised when he felt the cold hand of the homunculi grab his chin and force him to look up. A gasp escaped the colonel as he was staring back into the amber orbs of his lover. Envy's face and body had been replaced by Edward...even to the gentle touch of his fingers.

"I'm going to fuck you until it hurts..." Edward, no...Edward's voice stated. His head dropped as the figure moved around behind him. Roy winced as his pants were roughly yanked from his hips. Seconds passed where he felt nothing but the warmth of the sun playing across his bare skin. Obsidian eyes closed as he reveled in the feeling, until the hands of his enemy gripped his hips. Something pressed against him...in him...and then screamed.
