Chapter 18

Amy awoke the following morning, rolling over the empty bed, sheets draped over her body. Right away she remembered what had happened the night before, though Kimblee was no where for her to see. Though, even if he wasn't there, his scent remained. The oddly brilliant smell of bombs mixed with man.

'He probably had to go to work…the State does that…' The pleasant smile glittering her face faded at this thought. The state. And Kimblee being in it. No good was to come of it; she knew, of all people.

Seeing Kira nestled in a corner of the cozy room, made her content ness return to her. The beast was asleep, the soft breaths of life making her multi colored brown fur slowly move up and down in rhythm.

Deciding not to disturb her, Amy got up and put on some clothes. Heading out for a cool morning walk to clear her mind, she left a note taped to the head of the bed. After taking one last whiff of the vibrant scent, she left silently.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

"What's the meaning of this Colonel?" Ed objected instantly, shielding the surprised girl from Mustang.

"It was on order of the Fuhrer himself. I'm going to have to take her in for questioning. Even if the girl is innocent, the evidence points to her." Roy gave them a look of half regret, half ambition. His serious face hid the pain he was really wanting to let out, as it did everyday.

Selene bravely let go of Ed at this. She'd be strong… "It's ok Ed, I'll go. We'll get this straightened out, because I know I'm innocent." she said, smiling slightly; but to hide the pain. Ed sighed and watched Roy take her, a dramatic feeling building up inside him.

Back at Central Headquarters…

The few of Roy's subordinates studied Selene until the higher ups arrived, Roy keeping his distance for obvious reasons.

"I doubt she had anything to do with it boss. Probably just at the wrong place at the wrong time. Barely looks harmful enough to murder a fly." Havoc commented after seeing Roy's discouraged face.

"I'm aware of that Lieutenant. Now, the investigation's department is downstairs, waiting for the girl."

Selene was taken to a secured room underground. One small light in her room, with a one-way mirror separating her from the speaker. She was tied nicely to a chair, and after what seemed hours, Selene had answered all of the questions given to her about Hughes.

"There was one bullet fired in the gun you supposedly held. And we found a state alchemist pocket watch at the scene with a bullet lodged in it. Was there another officer there you were trying to get rid of?"

Honestly, Selene hadn't remembered that entire night when it happened…only running away from Ed then…blackout. Finally, she ended up spilling all of the details on how it was a plot of the homunculus, though, she knew nothing of the watch.

Little did she realize, the Fuhrer was the one who was on the other side of the window, asking all of the questions. She knew so much, about the true identity of Julia Douglas, and the rest of the homunculus. Their entire plot of the murder of Hughes, she told it in detail!

"And how is it you know all of this?" he ended with, a strong taste of vengeance in his voice. This girl had to be disposed of, if she had told anyone of this, their entire plan would fail. Not to mention, rebellious officers inside the military.

"I watched this entire epidemic take place. These are all of my observations." was her simple, yet true answer. Even if it was through a TV screen, she had watched these events take place.

"Very well. You'll be kept in holding until we can decide on what to do." With that the Fuhrer got up and left from the one way mirror space, meeting his secretary in the hallway outside.

"She knows." he said sternly, as in a normal conversation.

"Lust was the one to let her go. What do you want done with her?"

"Get rid of her when we can prove for sure she had a part in it. Any disappearances now and the rumors may get pretty nasty."

After then, Selene was taken into holding. A tightly secured, yet oddly comfortable room. It reminded the person hostage of a jail cell, even though not designed as one. She'd wait, and be brave. She had to be, if she wanted to get out of here. But that still didn't stop her from sulking even a bit.

First, one of her dearest friends died, now she was on trial for the murder she had tried to prevent.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

The warm, bright day let down on Amy's slow pace and depressing frown. Her brunette hair blew every now and then in the slight breeze, which made her image even more serene in the moment. She wasn't headed to any particular destination, just pacing around Dabris to clear her head.

Passing a park, she headed inside, and found a shaded bench to rest on. With hands in lap, he held her head low and studied the ground before her. 'Brandon passed on. It's all because I told him what the truth was. So, I guess what I could say it that the truth killed him. But then Greed, I helped Envy against my will to kill him. With these two hands…'

She raised her hands up and looked at them, then the rest of her body. Scars were visible on her smooth creamy skin, and especially the orobourus on her shoulder was deep and still visible on glance. 'This is all because of Envy. No, Selene. If she would have never chanted those words, none of us would be in this mess. But then again, if I hadn't pressured her into it…'

Then something hit Amy that had never occurred to her before. The magic, how they ended up here. "In the world beyond the gate, Wizardry and Witchcraft is what triggers open the gate. But here, in Amestris, Alchemy! Alchemy is the key into getting back." she paused her sentence. She'd known that all along; but never thought about it. "But now…I don't think even I would want to go back. Even through all of this pain…I want to stay here, and by him..."

As she was talking to herself, a figure came from behind and grabbed up her hands. "You wouldn't mean Kimblee, by any chance, would you?" a voice pestered. Amy whirled her head around, and saw Dorochet tightly holding her wrists above her head to secure her movements. Marta jumped down from the trees in front of her next, holding her knife up the girl's chin to make her look upwards.

"You reek of that traitor's scent. I guess that makes you one too." she hissed. The chimera could guess why Amy smelt of Kimblee, which disgusted her even more.

Dorochet finished her threat, "But traitor or not, your going to help us."

So, everybody is in deep water now! How will this turn out? Will Selene be proven innocent? How is Mustang taking this? What do the chimera want with Amy? How will Kimblee take this? R&R to find out!

I bet nobody noticed that the summary changes every few chapters. So far there are 3 different ones. I just felt like pointing that out. I take good time in writing these chapters you know!
