Author's note: Just a few facts to get you into the story. First, this story takes place three years after the movie, so five years after the anime series. Therefore, the year is 1925, and Ed is 20, and Al is 19.

Chapter 4: Flight
Keep moving. Keep moving. Don't stop.
The girl was running with every once of strength she had left in her body. Her heart was pounding in her ears, and her breathing was ragged and laboured. Her legs were pumping so hard she didn't even notice the pain they were in. The world around her was a blur as it hurtled through the pathway already set out for her. There was only one thing on her mind: get to him!
Oh fuck… where am I? Right or left… right!
In the distance, she could see a single light flickering in the distance.
Yes! This is it.
Ahead she could see a doorway opening and a figure stepped out. The voices behind her seemed to be getting closer.
She wanted to hazard a glance back, but she didn't want to take her eyes off of where she was going. One wrong move… and that's it.
As she neared the figure she saw the glint of cold hard steel at his side.
Oh damn it! They've already got someone here… and he's waiting for me… This can't be happening. Is it really going to end like this?
She tried to stop, but her foot caught an uneven cobblestone and she began to stumble forward. She was moving too fast to stop before colliding.
She closed her eyes and braced herself for the blades to pierce her flesh.
Her mind went blank.
