Hey guys, I decided that I won't re-write the last chapter. And This chapter is also in Ellie's point of view…….so here goes.

?

I walked up the long stairway and grabbed my pants pulled them on and out my shirt on. I felt a chill down my spine and felt like someone was watching me.

"heh…..good job Elric….your that much closer to your body….that much closer" I turned around there was the Homunculi again. Her eyes closed, a smug smirk on her face. Brown hair was pulled back. Her Face was much paler than the other day, almost as if she had lost blood.

"What is your name anyway?"

"Call me, just call me Rage" She said her lips moved in a cold dreary way.

"Why are you so interested in me?" I whispered

"The blood in you vains thirst for adventure…what your father said is not always true you know…we have our moments. Heh…even a little touch can show our emotions."

"I will hold out my on my word. Where should I go first?"

"You know that first central library was burnt down years ago right?" She flashed her silver green eyes.

"do you know why?"She whispered.

"There is a man. He has a scar across his face….Red eyes…."

"I have heard of him…they called him scar…he was an Ishbalian. A famous murder right? Killed alchemists…just for the taste of blood-"

"No." She shot a look at me "He is more than that. Look for him. He has information. Someone you know that you know very well knows another way that you can get a stone, someone who thought he once knew me." And with that she disappeared

Later that day, My father caught up with us. He smiled widely at me. We met up at the head quarters in central…where some people lived,My mind was still on what Rage had said to me…before she departed. Damn it…who is close to me…that would know anything about the stone other than my father? Perhaps my uncle Al….but he wouldn't know anything my father wouldn't know…would he?

"Ellllliiieee? Any one home? Helllooooo?" Dad Snapped his fingers in front of my face. "Something on your mind?" he said

"No…..not really….." I sighed and played in my plate of spaghetti

"Kitchen boy…"

"Yes sir!" Riley snapped out of his trance.

"Is she hurt in some way! What happened! This is why I never liked you kitchen boy!" Dad panicked and for a minute there I thought he was gonna hit the wall in paranoia.

"I'm fine daddy…just…just a little….tired out that's all." He looked up at me.

"I agree with your dad El…what are you so-"

I slammed my hands down on the table so the plats shook. "I'm fine...leave me the hell alone will you! Both of you! God damn it. I'm just tired alright!" Riley looked at me for a moment, at first in complete anger…then it understanding. "I'm sorry….I, I just don't really feel like talking."

"I think I have something that will make you want to talk," Dad said, He pulled out a brown box and handed it to me. Inside was a silver chain with a butterfly pendent that connected at each wing, the butterfly's wings where painted beautifully with dark blue with dots and sparkles.

"Oh daddy….Its so pretty….thank you…." I hugged him and took it out of the box. The little thingie clicked so I had it on. Dad chuckled, muttering something that had to do with, haha…I was turning into a girl…which was true. Mary wore more makeup and jewelry in one day than I did in like my entire life.

"Butterfly alchemist, huh? That's a good name for you."

I ate a bite of my dinner and a flash of what the homunculi's eyes looked like flashed in my eyes.

"you know…I'm heading to bed."

"Goodnight," Riley said his eyes where full of confusion and hurt.

"Love you dolly." Dad cooed.

"please don't call me that. I really don't like that." Before he had another chance to speak…I went to the quarters (I got my own room from Mustang…who thought It would be funny to put me in his room….till my dad made me swich with him. so Mustang would be spending the night with my father.)

I twisted and turned in bed. Tried to find a comfortable spot. "Someone you know that you know very well knows another way that you can get a stone, someone who thought he once knew me" Her words rang in my head like a bad song. I stayed awake and then I thought about how I hurt Riley this evening, and now my curiosity was soon replaced with guilt. I should go to his room and tell him that I am sorry…no it can wait till morning. I looked at my clock witch read 12:15 AM. I picked myself up from bed, my guilt won the fight over my conscious, and I found myself down the hall. Looking for room 125, Riley's number. I Creaked open the door and sat myself down on his bed, I brushed away his hair from his face, witch made him move and open his blue eyes.

"Waah? El? What are you doing…it's the middle of the night-"

"Can I tell you a secret?" I calmly said…

"I thought you where tired why aren't you sleeping?" He was still angry with me...I could tell,

"Have something on my mind. There is someone that I know that can restore my body another way then making a stone, A homunculi told me."

"Homunculi?"

"I cant sleep, and I feel horrible for yelling at you earlier."

"Not that big of deal…"Riley was sitting up. I realized that he had his shirt off and was most likely in nothing but his boxers.

"But….I don't know what your gonna do about the not sleeping part." I laid down on his bed and stared at the ceiling fan.

"Riley? Can I stay in your room?"

Woah!
-Poison.
