"Oh! Edward I'm sorry!" Kailani shrieked as she rushed over and started to pull the bandages off him.
"It's alright, don't worry about it." Ed wheezed.
Kailani started to calm down and soon Ed was out of his wrapping.
"You could have killed me!" Ed said with a smile. Kailani was freaked out all over again. Smooth, Ed, smooth.

"Eh-hmm…" the Raeka squirmed under Al's embrace and he let her go. Suddenly she felt very cold.
"Eh, err… sorry… um, what was your sister's name?" Al questioned while blushing a deep red. She smiled at him.
"Her name was Labonita, which means beautiful woman."-Raeka
"What does your name mean?"-Al
"It means beautiful and unique." -Raeka
"Oh." Al said. A pause. "Why were you the only one saved in this whole town?"
"It's a long story…" she looked away.
"We will have time for it later." Al declared, jumping off the fountain edge.
"We will?" Raeka questioned, taking his hand and hopping off the fountain.
"We will if you join our little group. We're heading to the safety of the center of the country and looking for survivors on the way."
Raeka smiled. "Of course I'll join you, but who does your group contain?"
"My brother and father, and a classmate that also survived. You'll meet them all around sundown."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Mr. Elric was having no luck with his search. It was very disturbing. What was more disturbing was that he found an insane woman that tried to kill him. He lost her though, because he was a middle aged man, and she a woman of at least 80. So he decided to walk back to the center of town.
But then he found a factory that was not damaged at all.
He had to find the others.
He ran faster then anything back to the center of town. He found Al with a girl in a red dress holding hands.
"What's wrong dad?" Al asked troubled and worried. The girl squeezed his hand.
"No time, follow me. I'll explain on our way out of town." Mr. Elric huffed. "Come on!"
He started to run. He did not dare yell Kalani's or Ed's name, for fear of attracting attention. They finally found them in a room with Ed putting his shirt on and Kailani with much ripped up pants. They both blushed at the sudden realization of how suspicious they must look.
But they had no time to waste.
"Hurry, follow me, don't make any noise. Al found that girl. Let's go!" Mr. Elric shouted at them both and began to run again.
Without hesitation they all followed, making no sound unless they tripped on a piece of rubble.
After at least thirty minutes they were on the edge of town when they happened upon an enemy computer. They had no time to break it and soon after they ran past it an alarm went off at the perfectly un-harmed factory. Gun shots were heard all around them. They evaded most of them because they were a small group, but they were going to be out in the open till they got closer to the forest about a mile ahead.
Shooting.
Running.
Falling.
Kailani, who was running for her life at the front of the group, abruptly fell.
"Ah!" she screamed.
The group scatted and tried to help her up.
"GO!" bellowed Mr. Elric, and with pained faces the others did.
He helped her up, but was shot in the arm. He winced in pain. Then they started to run again. There was no time to waste.
No time!
The group ahead of themselves made it to the forest without any trouble. When Kailani and Mr. Elric came closer they started to cheer them on.
"You can do it!"
"Come on old man!"
"Just a little farther!"
"YEAH!"
They made it.
They went as a group farther into the forest so they could not be seen unless the person seeing them was a least in a 20 yard range. Mr. Elric sat against the trunk of the nearest tree. To his surprise he saw another person he didn't know. He stood up and took out his gun.
Blood.
"Who are you?" He commanded of the shadow.
"Doesn't matter. I'm just a Japanese fugitive. A fugitive. Just like you. This is the safest country in the world right now. So just sit back down and I'll tend to your wound." Her green eyes darted over to Raeka. "Get in these. More comfortable for running."
"But,"
"No buts!"
"Okay you weird old hag…" Ed muttered.
"What did you say?" she hollered, flames in her eyes.
"Nothing." Ed whispered shrinking back.
She got to work on Mr. Elric while the boys watched leaning on a near-by tree. The girls had gone off to change their clothes.
The outfits she gave them consisted of black lose fitting pants and a kind of shirt that stayed close to their skin but gave them room to move.
Later when every thing was done they all gathered around Mr. Elric at the biggest tree.
"What am I doing here? Why do I need to hear this stuff?" The Japanese lady asked, folding her arms over her chest.
"Shut up and let him start!" Ed yelled, gaining a glare from her.
"Well, I was wondering if you would join our group." Mr. Elric calmly said.
"No!" Ed and the lady screamed.
"Why not?"
"I want to be on my own. Here, take these bandages." She gave them her medical supplies kit.
"Wait!"
Too late.
She was gone already, disappeared into the darkening forest full of creatures of the night.
"Well, that was odd."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Ed and Al were sent to get fire wood while the girls gathered leaves and grass for the beds. Mr. Elric guarded home base. They brothers came back first and so they were told to go find water. They did after an hour, and the girls were back with the bedding. The fire was lit and the beds made.
They were all telling their stories of how they got there.
"My name is Alphonse Elric and I came with my brother, father, and Kailani."
"My name is Kailani Emery, and I came with the Elric's because my parents died in the bombing and they were the only people who survived with me."
"My name is Edward Elric, and I… did stuff and got here."
"My name is Mr. Elric; I came with my sons and their classmate."
"My name is Raeka, and everyone I knew died during the bombing. So I came with you. I want to tell you guys a long and complicated story, okay?"
"Sure, whatever."
"Alright. I was the only one surviving because I ran away from my sisters wedding. Why? She was marrying my ex-boyfriend. I loved him but he kept our relationship a secret so he could date my sister. He proposed a few months ago and I thought I was going to die. But my sister didn't understand what was wrong with me until the wedding when I ran out crying."
She starred at the fire. Everyone shifted in their spots and glanced at each other.
"I just thought you should know." a tear dripped down her face. "Since we'll be together for a long time…"
"Oh honey!" Kailani hugged her for comfort and Raeka cried on her shoulder. Hen fell asleep. Al carried her to her bed of leaves and every one else carried them selves.

Okay, so don't forget to read the ending notes of the last chapie because my questions need to be answered. I'm being generous and updating with only 3 reviews for the last chapter. I expect to have five reviews! For this chapter. I won't update or even start writing till them.
