Amy followed Envy for what seemed hours, her legs starting to hurt. But she didn't dare complain; or speak until after awhile. "Uh, Envy? Is it alright if I ask something?" she checked, her voice a little scratchy.
"Shoot." he said, not nicely but not ignorantly.
"W-Where are we going?" she stuttered, Envy stopping at her question. "Maybe if you'd wait, you'd see." he said coldly, turning to face her. "Now answer me. How do you know my name? You look at me as if you've known me your whole life, Though I have no idea who the hell you are."
She hesitated, taking a gulp of saliva before thinking of an excuse. "If I told you the truth, you might kill me." she decided, looking at the ground since she couldn't gather enough courage to look the sin in the eye. Envy glared, 'She knows more than she's telling, and she's too scared to admit it.' he smirked at the thought. "Now now, let's not be rash. Why would I kill you? I'd only have to do that if I told you my name, which, I did not. So tell me yours wretch." he demanded in a teasing voice.
"Amy." she said simply, trying not to stutter. "I know your name because...Edward told me." she decided was a good answer. He just responded by slapping her across the face hard, making her fall to her knees on the ground. "Liar! I haven't even told Full Metal Pipsqueak my name yet." he said with rage. After calming down, he smirked again, finding out more. "So you know the blonde brat? You haven't talked to him lately have you?"
Amy stayed on her hands and knees, looking at the ground in unbearable anger and fear. "No. I've never talked to Ed. Never. That's the truth." she said, not stuttering, and not with fear. After that, she felt good enough to get up, one side on her face a bit red. 'That pain was real, so that must mean, this is real. It's not a nightmare that'll go away...'
Her and Envy glared at one another for a moment, Envy smirking while she frowning. He was surprised at how much backbone she was putting up, but it wouldn't do her any good. "Fine, Amy. If you must know, we're headed to where I and a few others live. A mansion, if you will." his grin was quite twisted, barely enough to call a grin worth showing teeth.
'Homunculus Mansion...I fear the worst.' she thought strongly, following Envy as he continued to walk.

A few hours after Brandon boarded the train, he was getting close to arriving to his destination.
Amy, on the other hand, had tried some alchemy out of the blue, and seemed to be pretty good at it. Though she was not advanced, she could do basic and average transmutations. Ed and Al showed her some things, before the two officers came back out to talk to them. "Edward Elric, we received a call from Colonel Mustang..." Maria started.
Ed cut her off, rolling his eyes. "What does that arrogant bastard want now?" he complained.
"He just wanted to inform you that a boy about your age is coming to Central with your pocket watch, sir." Denny said. Selene stood by listening, wondering what was going on.
"What? But I have my pocket watch right here." he said confused, pulling it out. He clicked it open, looking at the time and then his engravement on the lid of the watch. Al came over, seeing there was a predicament here. "Well, that's what he said sir. The boy should be getting here any minute at Central train station..." Maria started, but before she could even finish, Ed took off. "Come on Al! You too Selene!" he shouted back. Selene jumped up at her name, running after Ed and Al to the station.
The train had boarded by the time Ed and the others got there, Brandon was just stepping off when he spotted Selene running out of breath toward his train. "That's...Hey! Selene!" he shouted, waving his hand in the air.
Selene saw and waved back, smiling and picking up pace. "Brandon!" she shouted back, more than happy to see him. When they met, they gave a quick hug and then let go, laughing and grinning. "I'm so glad I found you! Have you seen Amy?" Selene's tone changing from relief to concern.
Brandon shook his head disappointingly, frowning. "Oh...Well, how did you get here? I mean...Where did you end up?" she asked, meaning where he entered the world from.
"I found myself in Mustang's office, where Riza was." he said with a smirk. Selene nodded, "And I found myself with Ed. We're in Episode 18 right now, they don't know the truth yet about the-" Selene was cut off by Al coughing to get their attention.
"Sorry to break up the little reunion, but we're looking for the guy who says he had my pocket watch." Ed spat in. Brandon cheesily grinned, as Selene stood between Ed and Brandon. "Sorry mate, I needed a way to get to Central and out of trouble so I-"
"So you claim to have my watch and get here on my funds?" Ed snapped, cutting him off again.
"Edward, calm down! He meant no trouble! Please, he's my friend!" Selene pleaded, trying to calm the chibi down. Ed gave her a smug look and cross his arms, dissatisfied. "We're just worried about our friend who got separated from us. We don't know where she is." Selene said, now troubled.
"Yeah, her name is Amy Brooks. I'm glad I found Selene but now we have to find her before anything happens." Brandon added, patting Selene on the back for comfort.
Ed and Al exchanged glances for a moment before the group started walking off, chatting about each other and what had happened. A few hours later, Ed had payed a hotel room for the two, being the kind and generous guy he is. Brandon and Selene took the rest of the night discussing the matter of their situation.
"Like I said earlier. We are in Episode 18. Ed and Al haven't learned the truth about the stone yet; in fact Sheska is writing the book over now." Selene said.
"So, should we tell them, anything about their future? We could prevent a lot of pain."
"But then we'd probably just be endangering them just as much as us. So, no. We won't tell them anything. The most we'll do is give them warnings, hints, and clues. Things like that. Messing with time is dangerous. You know that!" Selene commented, her nose in a book.
"What are you reading?"
"Alchemy books. Surprise, I can do alchemy."
Brandon gave an impressed look. "Good job. But I don't think it'll help the situation. And where do you think Amy ended up?"
"I dunno. Let's just make our main mission right now trying to find her. After that, we'll worry about Ed and Al. And until we find her, we'll monitor the brother's situation. They'll be heading to Lab 5 in two days. That's where Ed will come this close to making the stone." she squinted two of her fingers close together to show how close. "They'll meet some of the homunculi, Envy, Lust and Gluttony. Then afterwards, Ed will come to the hospital! See, we already know what's gonna happen."
"Don't forget Greed will wake up from his seal, and Kimblee will come into the picture. Along with the chimeras." Brandon added.
"Right. Wait, the homunculus! We ended up in places where our favorite character was! For me, it was Ed, reading books. For you, it was in Mustang's office with Riza. So with Amy, it would have been...Envy." she said, wide eyed and worried.
Brandon nodded, sighing at how Amy could be in for it by now. "But we have no clue where she is or even if she's alive anymore." he argued with her brilliant point. "So, lets just wait. I'm sure she's fine though." he reassured, giving a small smile. Selene forced one back, and then they went to bed. Her on the bed, he on the couch.

In that time, Envy had arrived with Amy at the homunculus manner. The mansion itself was beautiful, and pleasant. But the basement, was not. It was more like a jail cell holding with all the different stone rooms with bars. Cold, dark, and Amy could swear she saw a few rats pass her. She stopped following the homunculus after she had gotten wise enough to figure she was going to be put in one of the cells.
Envy noticed this and then grabbed her by the arm, forcing her the rest of the way down the hall. "Get moving bitch or I'll kill you!" he threatened, pulling and pushing her along. She started walking again when Envy transformed one of his hands into claws, and willingly went into one of the cells. "I won't chain you up unless we have any problems, hear me? You'll get one measly meal a day, enough to keep you alive, and if you try anything funny that's in that bag of yours, like escaping, I'll hunt you down and kill you. Got it?" he stated, devilish purple eyes staring her down the entire time. She noted the chains hanging from the walls, and then nodded. She even had enough energy to say, "Yes, Envy."
With that he smirked, lightening up after slamming the bar door shut and locking it. "The reason you're in here is because I can't have you wandering around freely and spreading any information about me and the others. I know you know, and I should kill you. But I won't. Remember: No reason for Envy." Those were his last words as he chuckled with himself and walked off. Leaving her in total darkness.
She stayed quiet and her eyes adjusted to the darkness. 'So, I guess I'll be here for awhile now. At least I'm alive. But I wonder where Selene and Brandon are, and if they're doing better than I am. I guess that's what I get for thinking a mass killer was sexy...' she laughed at herself for the thought. 'I just gotta keep from going crazy; stay calm, and follow all the rules, and I'll get out of here alive. Maybe someone will rescue me.'
She looked through her bag and pulled out her cell phone. The service was lost, so the device wasn't much use at all, except for light. 'I guess all I have to pass the time is to read...' Amy pulled out a magazine, the new issue of 'Newtype,' the one with the FMA homunculi spoilers. "Ironic." she said aloud, reading the description of Envy. All of her notes on FMA were in there too, she tried to figure what time frame or episode she was in. "Well, he said he didn't tell Ed his name yet, and the library was burned down. So, around episode 20, maybe 19." Impossible to know when exactly, when your stuck in a jail cell...
