Mrs. Edward Elric: Man! I forgot about this story! Oh well, good thing I just suddenly remembered it cause I lost all my files, but I'll get them back!
Ed: Do you know how long you left me in here! Damn!
Me: Sorry...I'm ashamed(not really). Well here's the story!
Chapter 5: The Reason
She felt the sting ofdeath gripping her by the throat and dragging her deeper and deeper into the blackness. But then a
white light glittered in front of her eyes.
Am I dead? This question whispered through her thoughts. Just as she was about to expect her fate she heard a voice
calling her name repeatedly.
Who was it? Someone she knew...someone she cared for now. It...was Ed! She tried desperately to open her eyes, but they
felt like lead and she just couldn't. It seemed that she would never wake from this cold sleep that clutched her and refused
to let her return to her world.
But...his voice...gave her strength...it lit a fire inside her that refused to ever burn out and it melted into her giving her the
will to live. She felt her eyes loosen and she squeezed them tightly together before slowly letting them flutter open.
Everything was a blur, but slowly the room came into focus. Her dark emerald-green eyes met the dull tired golden orbs of
Ed. All the life appeared to be drained from them and they didn't sparkle like fire. They were scared of what they saw and
wanted relief.
She moved her mouth to comfort him, but couldn't form words. She let her eyes droop, but didn't dare close them, afraid
that maybe they would never again open.
Out of the corner of her eye she saw Ed stir and them hold up a vile with a shiny green liquid in it up to her face.
She strained her eyes and waited for them to adjust to the darkness. Immediately she knew what is was. The anti-virus.
Horrible memories flooded her mind and her head spun. She felt sick and got a throbbing headache.
Lost in her thoughts, she was startled, but relieved when Ed spoke. "I remembered...I remember you giving this to me. You
told me it would keep me from turning into one of them. I didn't understand it then, but now I do."
He took off his crimson jacket and gently laid it over her exposed back. The soft material was covered in the sweet smell of
Ed and smell breathed in deep through her noise as to take in his scent and never forget it.
A cracked window had let the cold of night into their sanctuary of peace. Now, the only good it did was supply them with just
enough light from the faint dull glow of the moon to see.
Must be a full moon. Had she really been out that long?
Ed stood and grabbed her courier bag from the damp ground. It was soaked in blood. Her blood. He rustled through it and
pulled out a small worm picture album. He slowly strode back over and knelt beside her. He opened the album and glanced
at a young girl and man.
The girl had on a white lacy dress and shined black dancing shoes. Her neck length hair matched the black of her shoes
perfectly. Black locks danced around her small face bringing out the glow of her pale skin and making her bright youthful
blue eyes glow. The man next to her wore a brown leather jacket and had a tight black shirt underneath. His dirty blonde
hair looked strange with his clear blue eyes. He appeared to be a very intelligent man, and know how to used it too.
Ed stared at it awhile before letting it land on the floor beside her. "Who are these people?" He expected her to be upset
with him for going through her belongings, but she just looked away and took a long shaky breath.
"My little sister Ashlin Uzuki...and my step dad Leon Kennedy. They're the real reason I volunteered for this job.
Yesterday was Leon's first day on the R.P.D force, but he somehow got mixed up in all this. Ashlin, my sister, is at her
elementary school...I found them with the tracker on my laptop."
Ed's blank face forced her to look away. Now, only silence and darkness enveloped the room for the wind had shut the
curtains to the window...and there was silence now...only silence, and it scared her.
"Ed...will you help me? I can't do this alone...I...I need you." That's the only thing she could say now. Anything else would
just sound stupid and more like begging them asking. Besides she did need him...more then he knew.
He stared at her for awhile, perhaps making up his mind, but the silence and darkness of the room was driving her into
madness, and now she just wished for the sun to peek the clouds and shed light into the shadows.
After what seemed like hours he spoke. "Sure I'll help. Got nothing better to do."
Not the most mature answer, but at least he would stay with her. "Fine it's settled then. We leave tomorrow. We must stop
and get provisions first. Who knows how long this will take. Let's get Leon first he's bound to have some weapons and
ammunition on him you can borrow for that gun of yours Ed."
His only answer was a nod and he got up and left her in the silent room. But this time it didn't bother her...it was almost
calming. She laid her down and thought of what she was going to do...what they were going to do. This...this is my reason...I'll
do anything to find you Ashlin and Leon...and get you out of here alive Ed.
Mrs. Edward Elric: Like I said I lost all my files so I don't really remember what the other chaps were about. I just wrote from what I remembered.
Ed: Eh' it's okay...I guess
Me: Well, I'll get writing on the next one very soon!
Me and Ed: Review Please!
