-----Chapter 4:The Past, And Present----

We both stared at each other. We thought we would both be dead. I ran up and hugged her; my blood from my arm went to the back of her dark green tank top. A sigh of relieve passed me, she is still alive. We stopped hugging but still so happy to see each other.

"I thought you where dead!" we both said at the same time. Then I turned my head slightly to see the metal figure...as stood up all by itself. I screamed with horror. Martel giggled at my suffer.

"Don't worry. It's not magic, his name is Al." Martel said. A sweat drop came from me.

"Oh..." I said with a sigh of relief.

"Um...hello my name is Alphonse Elric." Al said. A sharp pain ran through my spine.

"So you know Edward Elric?" I asked in a serious voice.

"Of course, he is my brother." I pulled Martel's arm.

"I have to speak with Martel for a bit." I said to Al while pulling on her arm to follow me to a tree pretty far away from the clearing so Al won't hear.

"So you know Edward?" Martel asked me.

"Yeah, well not really. There is only one problem." I whispered to her.

"What is it?"

"I have to kill him."

"WHAT!"

"Shh!"

"Who told you that?"

"Envy."

"Why in God damns name are you hanging out with him?"

"Well...um...never mind that. So how is every one?" Martel face became very low. Tears started to form in her eyes, "What's wrong?"

"Um...everyone..." she stopped by the sound of various bird flying swiftly over head.

"They are running away from danger."

"Let's go to Al." we started to walk over there when Martel stared at my bloody arm, "hey how did you get that?"

"Um, Doug scratched me."

"DOUG? Who is that?"

"You know...the kitten."

"Oh, so you kept him? How is he going?"

"He ran away from me."

"I see." We went up to Al. I stared at him, how is he so tall when Ed is so short?

"Um, hello my name is Jasmine." I said while holding out my hand for a shake. Al shook my hand.

"Nice to meet you." he said with a friendly voice. Martel pulled my hand.

"Pst." she whispered in my ear.

"Pst. What?" I whispered back.

"Um...okay let's just talk normally." Al whispered over hearing on our conversation. I screamed. Martel started to laugh.

We sat down on the ground and started to talk about the past when I was in the gang. Martel giggled.

"Remember when you started to go out with Greed?" Martel said while almost laughing.

"Yeah. I think I do." I said while trying to think.

"What do you mean think? You guys always jammed your tongues down each other throats." I put my figure against my lips while trying to think.

"I don't remember that. But how is Greed doing."

"Um...well...Greed...he..." she stuttered. Al didn't say a word.

"Just tell me!"

"He...is...dead." I gasped. My boyfriend...well I…no, he is not, but still! He is...died. Tears started to roll down my face. I just couldn't believe...
