Chapter Seven – Lithium

"And why can't I leave?" Ed asked angrily. He had spent almost an entire day in the hospital and was completely and utterly bored out of his skull.

"Fullmetal! I've already told you five times! I found you in a pool of your own blood on the floor of the cafeteria! You'll stay here until the doctors figure out what is wrong with you!" Roy said. He had come to visit the young alchemist again, but if he knew that he was going to be pestered by Edward so much, then he would've remained in his office. He suddenly remembered Hawkeye's gun and erased that thought from his mind.

"But!" Edward began, but Roy cut him off.

"No buts! You'll stay here until the doctors say that you may leave. Until then, you'll stay here and rest," Roy said. "That's an order," he said when Ed opened his mouth to retort.

Ed glared angrily at Roy and stuck his tongue out childishly. "You suck," Edward said and flopped back down onto his pillows. Roy ignored him and was about to get up when the doctor entered the room, a clipboard in his hands.

"Good news!" the old doctor said happily, "Edward is completely fine, though we did find some minor odd things that seem to be completely harmless. We think he passed out because of stress or lack of sleep and he just got a minor concussion when he hit the ground." The doctor grinned a toothy grin, showing off his crooked teeth.

"I can leave?" Edward asked hopefully. He needed to get out of the hospital. He was going insane from the boredom.

The doctor shook his head sadly and pushed his small glasses up on his beak-like nose. "I'm sorry, but we'd prefer if you stay here one more night, just to make sure you're completely fine."

Ed sighed angrily and began to curse the gray-haired doctor under his breath. "I don't need to stay in this smelly hospital. I feel fine," Ed muttered angrily to himself. It wasn't the truth though. Ed felt like crap. His stomach was constantly doing flip-flops and his head hurt from the bright sunlight that entered his room.

"Well, if that is the case, then I shall take my leave. Thank you doctor and behave yourself Fullmetal. I don't want to come back here tomorrow only to find out that you've been a small thorn in everyone's side.

Ed bristled at the mention of the word 'short'. His face turned an angry shade of red and you could see that he was ready to shout at the Colonel. "WHO ARE YOU CALLING A PINT-SIZE MICROBE THAT CAN'T BE SEEN EVEN WITH THE MOST POWERFUL MICROSCOPE!" Ed shouted angrily, scaring the doctor and the other patients in the hospitable.

"Good-bye Fullmetal Shrimp," Roy said smugly as he walked out of the room, the doctor quickly scrambling after him. Roy could hear Ed spout off his nonsense and smiled happily to himself. He couldn't help but tease Ed. After all, he was extremely cute when he was angry. Wait, he did not just think that.

Do I love Ed? Roy thought as he left the hospital.

--

"Stupid bastard Colonel," Ed muttered angrily to himself as he stabbed his sandwich with a knife. If you looked carefully, you could see Roy's face painted on in ketchup. Ed laughed manically as he continued to stab the Roy-wich.

Ed soon tired of mutilating his Roy-wich and pushed his food tray off to the side. He wasn't hungry even though it was dinnertime. His stomach growled, but it didn't want the food that was on Ed's plate. He knew what it wanted and he hated himself for it.

The blond teen sighed and stared out the window. The sky was already a deep shade of purple. He could clearly see the small sliver of moon that hung in the night sky. "I guess I have till the next full moon to revert back to my human self," Edward said to himself as he played with a strand of his golden hair.

He had woken up that morning to find that someone had stolen his hair tie, so his hair cascaded down onto his shoulders. Something told him that it was Roy that did it and the Colonel would pay once Ed got out of this hellhole.

Ed sighed again and closed his eyes. He was feeling a bit light headed and all he wanted to do was sleep. He was soon fading out into unconsciousness again.

"Great, another one of these weird dreams," Ed said when he found that he was standing on the roof of a very tall building. The bright lights of the city sparkled all around him, but it was completely silent up where he was.

"You must be Edward Elric," said a feminine voice from behind Ed. "I've been wanting to meet you for a while now."

Ed quickly turned around to find him face to face with a beautiful teenage girl that seemed to be his age. The girl had long purple hair and had amethyst eyes that sparkled in the city's light. She wore a sleeveless skintight black dress that came down to just above her knees and a pair of black sneakers. She walked, no, floated over to Edward and stopped in front of him.

"You're not Raith," Edward said when he saw her. Of course he was expecting Raith, and not a girl.

"No, you may call me Lilith," she said and caressed Ed's cheek, making him shiver. The girl's touch was icy cold and it felt as if she was sucking all the warmth in his body out of him. "You are a cute little boy. You, however, are no longer human."

"How do you know," Ed asked, completely oblivious to the fact that she called him small.

"You have a bite mark on your neck, but that doesn't mean that you'll remain the way you are forever," Lilith said, her voice as smooth as silk. It pulled Edward into a trance. She smiled sweetly and said, "You will find a way. If you happen to fail, I'm positive that your friends and family won't leave you all alone. You're just different, not a monster like Raith tells you. He knows nothing about you." She then moved in closer, cupping Ed's face in her pale hands. "You didn't kill all those children on purpose. It was an accident. Bad things will happen, but there is always a silver lining. Please don't give up hope. I know that you'll find a way."

"A way?" Ed asked. His mind was elsewhere and it felt as if he no longer had control over his body.

"Yesssss, a way," Lilith purred as she brought her arms around Ed's neck and pulled him into a kiss.

The kiss seemed to last an eternity. Ed knew that he didn't want this, but he couldn't pull away. He had lost all feeling in his body. Lilith pulled away and faded away along with the entire city, letting Ed fall into a deep dreamless sleep.

"You don't think you went a bit far there?" Raith asked Lilith.

"We need him to trust us right? Plus, he just got kissed by a pretty lady, that should be a nice bonus for him," Lilith said as she looked at Ed's sleeping figure.

"You're right, after all, we do need him to fulfill our purposes," Raith said.

"Don't worry Raith, I'll always love you," Lilith said as she nuzzled against him.

"And I'll always love you as well," he said.

"I know you will," she purred.

Well, a bit more romance in this chapter. And… Ed got kissed by Lilith! Anyways, I know that this is a pretty short chapter, but I promise that I'll write some longer ones later on. Don't forget to review! Oh! I've decided to write the name of the next chapter at the end of every chapter I finish.
