Chapter Thirteen.

Envy lay lifeless before me, his arms two mashed stubs. I sat on his chest, my blade pointed to his neck. Around me, Mustang and May had their Alchemy ready, should something happen. Around me, the others had their guns at the ready, aiming around me right to Envy.

Inside the house Winry and Al were no doubt watching with their heads pressed to the glass. All the others took a step forward suddenly, closing in their circle around me. May came up to my side, looking to Envy with skeptical eyes.

"Can you feel anything?" I asked her, but I didn't remove my eyes from Envy's face. May shook her head, looking down to him with a confused gleam in her eyes.

"It's as if he doesn't exist. I can't feel him, because he isn't there. He vanished when I reached for his core." She crouched by my side, placing her hands on his chest.

Suddenly, she lurched back, letting out a scream. Everyone tensed, looking to her with worry and confusion. She stood her back arching in pain. As the scream died out, she fell to her knees.

"And you though I was the same person." May spoke, but her voice had changed. I seemed to be the only one who recognized it though. I stood, jumping to my feet. I pressed my blade into her face, ignoring the arms against my shoulders and surprised voices.

"No, you can't. No one is that powerful." I whispered this, pressing my blade closer against her skin. May looked up, her hair falling out of her face dramatically.

"That's where you're wrong. I can. I have the power of God now Edward." She stood, knocking my blade out of her face. She laughed, jumping over Envy's body protectively.

"Touch my body again, and maybe you won't have this problem." That was when it clicked for everyone else. Envy had changed bodies. He had switched from Envy, into May. Everyone pulled their guns again, pointing them at May. Inside, I heard the muffled yell of Al.

"Let May go." I growled to her, dropping my blade to my side. She laughed, the same evil laugh as Envy.

"No, I think not. She is a different body, maybe I can use this to my advantage." She crouched, pulling out some of her daggers. "And plus, what's a little fun to you?"

"Let her go! You bastard!" I lunged, going into combat with May. I struck, blow after blow, but she avoided them all. She seemed to be more nimble than Envy's old body. Great, that was one more reason for him to keep her.

Suddenly, as if another seizure rushed through her body, she grabbed her stomach and let out another scream. I stopped attacking, catching her in my arms. Her eyes open wide, I could clearly see the change as Envy was forced from her body.

Her eyes went from wild and crazed to sweet and childish. She writhed against me, her eyes wide with pain and her voice straining with the pressure of the scream.

Envy's body writhed as well, suddenly popping up. He gave an annoyed huff, lunging for us both. Handing May quickly off to Mustang, I counter-attacked him. We collided, as if he had forgotten all of his normal techniques. He growled, a crazed look I had never before seen in his eyes. As we wrestled, he kept staring at May. Finally, he gave up, flying away from me in a fancy spin.

"She wasn't supposed to fight back!" He growled in an upset voice as he glared to me with anger. I transmuted my blade, blocking his view of May as I lunged.

"Maybe you're just weaker than you thought." I laughed at him as he brought up his arms to block my blow. This time, I managed to cut them both off and shove him to the ground.

"What is with you and my arms!" He shouted in my face, pushing my off with his legs. He ran down the hill, tripping once before Mustang sent the other soldiers after him. He handed May to me and then took off himself.

"You alright May?" She gave me a weak nod, sliding further into my lap. The door of the house burst open as Al came wheeling out. Winry ran behind him, shouting for him to slow down. I looked to May with a hint of worry, stroking the hair out of her face.

"May, what happened?" She shook her head, closing her eyes in pain.

"It was like my body had a mind of its own. It was like I couldn't breath, couldn't feel. He had complete control of me, and I almost had nothing to live for. He took away everything." Al had made it to us, stopping right beside May. I helped life her up into his lap, wrapping her arms around him. Al hugged her against him, burying his head against her shoulder.

"Are you okay May?" Al's voice was frantic, as if all the fear in the world had just possessed him in the last few minutes. I knew the feeling, my mind traveling back to the train. Winry ran up to me, wrapping her arms around my neck.

"You need to stop torturing me like this," She mumbled against my neck. I chuckled, pulling her closer.

"Trust me Win, I'd prefer not to either." She smiled against my chest, pulling against my braid slightly. "Hey!" I snapped. She laughed, then pulling away to look at the frantic Al and the shaken May.

"Al, please, get better son. I need you." May mumbled against his chest. Al nodded against her hair. Mumbling something I couldn't hear.

"Never say that again Al." May whispered back. I looked to Al, trying to meet his gaze, but I could see him avoiding me.

Somehow, I had a feeling this fight just got a lot worse. And I also knew, that now we had to be extra careful of Envy. If he got his hands on us, who knew who would be the puppet next.

Now we had to fight twice as hard.
