Chapter 13
Selene waved her hand in front of Brandon's face. Third time today she had caught him staring mindlessly at Winry. "Hello? Love sick bastard?" she said, giggling slightly. The guy shook his head, "Huh?"
"Stop staring at her. She'll notice." Selene whispered. Winry glanced over from across the room, hearing their conversation. He gulped as the blonde girl gave him a smile.

Another seven marks had been indented into Amy's counting space. Now there were 22 little slashes, marking each day they came closer and closer to nothing. The closest Amy had gotten to Wrath this week, was enough that she could reach out her arm and touch his shoulder. After that, the boy broke into complete panic, running off like every other time.
Though this morning, day 23, was different. Amy woke up, with a pair of violet eyes staring directly into her hazel ones. It quite frankly startled her out of the tree, she falling down to the ground. The young child slid down after her, making sure she was ok, all while saying nothing. "Don't do that…" she muttered, getting up sorely. Kira had jumped down behind her, the boy backing up at the sight of the beast.
"It's alright…" Amy reassured him, giving Kira a few pats on the head to show she was harmless. (For the most part) Wrath came a little closer, a frightened face staring up at Amy's soft appearance. "Go ahead, pet her." she said, squatting between Wrath and Kira. Wrath slowly put a shaky hand out, then lightly over Kira's matted head. He smiled a little, and began to pet her head as Amy had just done.
So that went on. Wrath didn't run away in panic like he usually did. To Amy, he was a sad and lost little boy, who just wanted a place to go. So she convinced him that he could go with her once her ride came, and to stay away from both the Elric's and Envy.
About a week later, Amy set off on her own, searching for Wrath to take back with her. She moved through the brush and trees, until finally hearing voices. Thinking it was Ed and Al, she ducked under a bush and stayed silent, listening.
"Eat these, they'll help."
The voice didn't belong to either Elric, but, Envy. Amy positioned herself so that she could see through the leaves. Wrath was standing a couple feet away from Envy, the palm tree sin offering the boy small red stones. There were only three or so in his hand, which Wrath greedily took.
Amy watched with wide eyes…'Oh no…' she thought. The child held his hands out…his mouth was drooling a little for more. "Sorry kid, that's all I have. If you come with me I can get you more." Wrath nodded his head furiously; following Envy as he walked out of the clearing.
Amy gathered whatever courage she had and jumped forward, grabbing Wrath up in her arms and running for it. The boy struggled, "Let me go! Let me go!"
"No! Remember your promise? To come with me?" Amy interrogated, trying everything to get Wrath away from Envy. The child slowly ceased struggling, letting Amy carry him through the thick forest. When reaching the beach, Wrath was basically slung over Amy's shoulder. Amy huffed and fell over from being out of breath; she didn't know if Envy was following or not.
"Don't move…" A voice said, stepping closer to them. It was Ed, staring down questionably at the two. Wrath began to get in a panic mode, going to grab a rock to transmute his limbs. "Don't" Amy warned, holding the boy still. "What are you doing here?" the blonde alchemist asked.
Amy stumbled to her feet, holding Wrath securely close. "I don't have time to explain, Envy is here-"
"Envy?" Ed cut off.
"That's right Pipsqueak…Envy's the name. Don't wear it out." His voice echoed over the group as Envy jumped out of some trees unto the scene. Now pissed, Ed clapped his hands and transmuted his automail into the blade, ready to kick the sins' sorry ass.
"Come on." Amy said, pulling on Wrath's arm for the two to get out of there. Envy would have chased after them, but Ed was a little more preoccupying, "Alright Full Metal, Let's see what you can do."
Wrath could hear the two fighting behind him while he was being drug away by Amy. In a quick moment, he changed his mind, breaking away from Amy's grip and running back. He looked over to see what he could do; Ed was getting a little slower with his reflexes, cuts on certain places and bruises here and there. Envy was putting up a quick fight, which Wrath interrupted when he jumped in the way of Envy's next punch.
Ed was surprised by this, halting his attacks while Wrath alchemized his arm with a rock in hand. His fist turned solid stone, and punched through Envy before the bastard could do anything more. Envy bled all over the ground, passing for dead.
Ed was confused and impressed that this kid just turn his fist to stone, and a little angry that he just finished off one of his enemies. "Come on kid!" he shouted, grabbing Wrath by the arm and dragging him off.
Al was watching Mrs. Izumi and Mason row the bow towards the island, coming to get them since their month was up. Ed had wondered off somewhere, and the younger brother didn't think much of it; until Ed trudged up to him, forcing along a boy. "I told you someone was here Al."
Selene, Brandon, and Winry were all waiting for everybody to return. What a surprise, should they return with one extra person. Selene and Brandon exchanged looks on seeing Wrath; the boy was different than excepted. He seemed to know what was going on around him, but had a shy manner.
The day after Ed and Al returned, Selene over heard the brothers discussing in their room, when just walking by.
"There's something with that kid Al. He's an alchemist; he transmuted his fist into a rock! And he just mysteriously showed up on that island? There were others there! Envy and that girl!" Ed ranted on and on about how this wasn't right, until the last part.
"There was a girl on the island?" Selene blurted out, coming into the room unannounced. Both brothers stared at her, and soon the three were all discussing what could be going on. Selene ended up telling them that it was Amy, and they should probably talk to her; Selene keeping quiet on anything about Wrath.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
"You let him get away!" Greed snapped, furious with Amy when she returned empty handed.
"Envy was there; ruined the whole plan! Edward took Wrath with him when they left, because of Envy!" Greed slapped her for arguing, this surprising everyone that was watching. Kira made a small growling sound, but wouldn't dare try to attack Greed.
"Envy this, Envy that; Everything that deals with you deals with Envy! He's the whole reason you're here. And I'll let you know, he came by a couple times when you were gone, asking if he could have you back."
Amy held her face to the ground, her hair hanging down and covering her face with a now red handprint on one cheek.
"I really don't think that's necessary boss…" Kimblee cut in, defending for Amy. Greed gave him a pissed look. "And when do you have say in this? She's becoming more of a burden then a help, therefore I have no use for her."
Amy stay silent…would Greed really hand her over to Envy?
The Seriously Long Author's Note: (If you don't feel like reading, please continue to the next chapter and come back to this one!)
Do you still think this is another one of THESE fictions? Hope everybody is liking the story so far! If you aren't then….why are you still reading? Remember there is another Fan Fiction by me that is made of short stories that feed off from this fic! Please take a look at that too! Titled: 'Inhuman Knowledge'
I'm nearly running out of things I can do to this to make it as interesting as I can get it. And I don't wanna bore my readers! Got any ideas? I'll take anything and make it work; because I'm good like that… I keep having to ask myself and brainstorming on ideas. What would happen if Wrath was on the good side? What would happen if Greed never died? What would happen if Kimblee fell in love? What would happen if Ed fell in love? What would happen if Al was never made into the stone? What would happen if Dante never switched bodies with Lyra? These are all things I have to think about for this god forsaken story.
Characters: The characters in this story are based from real live people. My friends, to be exact. I modified them here and there, but the only one who was not changed at all, was Brandon. I seriously had to stalk him for a couple days JUST so I could get his personality and attitude down for the story. Amy was a remake of me. And Selene…is nobody actually. She's really smart, bright, and can catch certain things. Nobody I know is smart, or has enough common sense to do that on a regular basis. (No offense to all who are my friends.)
And one more thing before I move to the reviews… The website. The ultimate website my friend showed me and I got to watch the entire FMA series AND movie on. The only catch is…it's all in Japanese. With English subtitles. And the site isn't just FMA, it has every other series imaginable. Manga and Anime. It's totally free and no downloading involved! (Unless you don't have the newest version of Shock) Also, you need to make an account. My account is xxDarknessxAlchemistxx on there, so pass me a message if you sign up! Also, my friend Arisa started a totally awesome FMA site; that I helped with. It's my homepage, please check it out!
Reviews
Brandon: stop referring to the homunculi as sin cuz thats annoying
OMG, it's Brandon, in the cyber flesh. THE actual Brandon. ANYWAY: I don't care what you think, it's not annoying because I say so. And I'm the writer! I can make you die anytime I want in this story! You know, I think I will! You'll die in a hit and run with Archer driving the car! BWHAHAHA!
ooOAnimeChildOoo: Mentions of Amy getting raped by Envy would change the rating to M, just as an FYI. The story is good so far.
I'm glad you like my story! 3 But I don't think mentioning rape would make it 'M' rating. I mean, the entire story. Maybe that chapter, but there was nothing horribly horrific in it that would make it a sure 'M' So I think I'm fine.
MrsPiccolosWife: ok...I hate these types of fics, but I tried yours. Be flattered! I go kinda bored by the middle of it. This was better than most of the ones I've looked at. Thanks for not putting yourself in it and doing everyone!
Umm, your welcome?
Rishan: Even if the plot is used a lot, it's always fun to see what people do to make theirs original, and so far, you've done a great job. On length of chapters, you've also done good, neither painfully long nor depressingly short. I hope you can update again soon, because I can't wait to see what you do next with the plot.
Thanks! Thank you all! I'm really glad you like it, and keep reviewing to encourage me! I got 2 pages of reviews…a new record! I mentioned to one of my friends the other day, 'This is the FMA plot with a Kyrstin twist.' Some people might be drawn by this phrase, thinking, 'Oh, a Kyrstin twist? What's that?' and then click to read the story. Others, will running away shouting, 'Akuma! Akuma!' (Devil! Devil! In English)
Spearette: The plot is a bit overused, but I like the characters, and heck, I can't say anything about not using over-used plots. I did. xDD Anyway, I'll probably create a story like this at my rate. damn me and my procrastination with my already written stories
Awesome, I'll check out some of your writings later. Right now I am obsessed with finishing this fic for once. All my other ones I have lost interest with, or don't know what to write next. This one seems to be going good. But mine, isn't one of those ones you wanna read all in one day. Take too long. So, I suggest you add this to your favorite list and come back!
OoOAnimeChildOoo: "The 'click' was like a whistle to him, making him sit and pick up a pen instantly" I like it..
I like it too. That's why I wrote it.
Terra: Update soon, it rocks.
ArisaWeasley: Nice job! ;D KEEP WRITTIN'!
Rishan: Glad you could update, You've been doing great. I can't wait to see what you bring up next.
