Nevermore Sister

Pissed Off Ed

"Alchemist of the People my ASS! How could they like you this much if you're a fucking sadist?"

Edward punched the bartender in the stomach with his flesh hand. He wouldn't use his automail unless absolutely necessary.

Al had stopped about ten minutes ago. His brother was bitch sometimes when it came to getting information the hard way. But Al could understand how upset Ed was about the chase. He wasn't in the mood to get any more dents in his armor, so he just stood by and made sure Ed didn't kill the poor guy.

"I want to know why you helped him get away!" Ed yelled at the man while punching him again.

"What is this all about? This is becoming a pain in my fucking ass. I manage to get a two week vacation, then a letter swos up and I learn that I have an older sister. Here I am in Lior where the letter was sent from and I'm trying to find my goddamned sister so I could kill her, transmutate her back to life and kill her again!"

"Talk about being deranged!" Bernie cried. "Is that the way you would treat a sister who you never knew you had?"

"She knew about us," Al said quietly. "And she had every chance to come back. but she didn't."

"And she's gonna be sorry she didn't!" Ed turned and slammed his automail arm down on a wooden table, smashing it to pieces.

"Calm down Brother," Al said harshly. He wasn't going to take this anymore.

Edward only growled and sat down in one of the chairs.

"Look," Al said to the bartender. "We only want to find her. You and that Darren person are the only two trying to evade us. That means you know something you don't want us to know. But we need that information. All we want is to see her and talk to her and maybe even bring her home. Whatever you know, we need you to tell us. Will you?"

Bernie looked at the suit of armor. Somehow, he knew telling them would bring lots of pain. But he couldn't say "no" to something so sincere. He sighed and took his place in a chair. He might as well tell. Besides, he didn't know when she would pack up and leave again. And these boys deserve to have her around.

"Fine. I'll tell you. Darren had a hard life before this one. I was the only one he trusted with his secret.

"You said you were looking for someone named Skye Elric, correct?"

"Yes," answered Al. "But what does Darren have to do with-"

"Darren is Skye."

Ed fell off his chair. He stared at Bernie with an uneasy expression. Al only looked at his brother who was now opening and closing his mouth like an idiot.

"You mean to say that the jackass I was just chasing and the same jackass who literally kicked me out of that shop was the same person and my sister?"

"Yup."

"…"

"Nii-san?"

"…"

"C'mon Al," Ed said getting up and making his way to the door. "We have a bitch to hunt down."

"Brother!" Al followed with widened eyes after his brother, leaving Bernie behind.

Bernie only watched as the two disappeared out the door into the continuing storm. He looked around his bar wearily and sighed. He had a big mess to clean up. He'd do it in the morning.

He turned in his chair and got up, heading to the back of the bar counter. He wasn't aware of the presence at the door as he tried to clean a few of the glasses. When he heard a high pitched chuckle did he turn around to meet the face of a pissed off sadistic man. One with green hair no less.

Envy grabbed Bernie by the throat and picked him up off the ground. Envy scowled at the bartender, not in the least bit happy his plan was moving too quickly fir his liking. He squeezed Bernie's throat mercilessly.

"I'm sure you can tell I'm not in a good mood," he hissed. "I honestly don't know why I even bother keeping you around."

"You…need…me…"

"Do I really?" Envy asked. "True, I needed you to throw off the scent. But that's not what I saw just a few minutes ago. I can't trust you anymore. So, I'll just do what any good-minded homunculus would do…"

Bernie's eyes widened in fear as his body was thrown back against the wall full of liquor bottles. He fell to the floor as Envy jumped up onto the counter, fingering a knife he picked up off one of the tables. He jumped down on the opposite side where Bernie was looking up at the Homunculus fearfully.

Envy reached behind him and used the tip of the knife to get to an annoying itch before yawning. He looked down on the man.

"You're lucky I feel too lazy to play around," he said as he flung the knife into the man's head. "Otherwise, you'd have it much worse."
