I'd Kill to Fall Asleep

Disclaimer: Yawn I am getting really tired of these but I've been flamed before for not putting them up! I do not in any way shape or form own

Ed: ME!

Al: OR ME!

Roy: Me neither

Riza: nuh uh.

But I do own:

Rae: HIYA!

Chris: Hello there…

Summary: Ed and Al have teamed up with a new girl, Mustang's niece, they are sent to investigate the happenings at a mine and get themselves caught in a giant military cover-up from years ago. Does the mine owner's daughter know anything about these strange happenings.

Rae rearranged herself again then sat up in frustration. She looked at the clock and sighed, it was almost 2 AM. She was restless for some reason. The hair on the back of her neck prickled and she swung around. She had sensed someone behind her but no one was there. She eyed the sleeping forms of the Elrics then stood up and looked around. She looked out the window, careful of the sleeping Al. She rested her elbows on the sill and stared out. The moon was covered partially by clouds. She sighed and traced a circle on the glass.

'I wonder what you're thinking about… Dad.' Rae thought. She was wearing a long collar shirt, the sleeves reached to her finger tips. Her blonde hair was pulled up in a French plait.

"Moon old pal… I don't know what to do…" Rae whispered. She felt the dog tags around her neck and squeezed them. She rested her head on her arms on the sill, kneeling down. "I-I don't… know…" She yawned and slowly fell asleep on her arms.

A bang woke Rae up, it seemed to be only a few minutes later but as she looked at the clock she realized that it was almost 8 AM.

"What the hell was that?" Ed asked, sitting up.

"How should I know?" Al replied. Rae was already pulling on her military pants and pulling off her night shirt.

"Hurry!" Rae told them and pulled on her shirt, a dark evergreen turtle neck short sleeved sweater ((mouthful)) as Ed and Al began to get dressed. She pulled on her shoulder holster, a holster that normally latched across her chest and strapped over her shoulder but she just left it hanging as they heard a blood curdling shriek. She looked at Ed and Al who both charged out the door just after her.

"What in the hell?" She saw what was making the noise. There were four Chimeras roaming around the city. Suddenly it began to rain, pouring rain down on them.

"Rae! Look out!" Al called to her and she dodged to the side as one of them jumped at her. She trained her gun on the creature's chest and fired. It was blown back by the blast.

"Thanks Al!" She ran towards the mine with Ed. Al followed.

"Where're you going?" Ed shouted at her.

"I'm going into the mine!" She replied and kept running. She aimed at the lock on the gate and fired, knocking the lock off. She rammed her shoulder into the gate and shoulder rolled into the area before the mine. She screamed as one of the Chimera's jumped at her. She dodged it and landed in the mud with a splat. It charged at her again and she did a backhand spring then clapped and created a spear out of the ground. The creature ran at her but met the end of the spear as she hurled the spear like a javelin. Ed stopped for a second, she was good. She pulled out her gun again and ran into the mine.

"AL! C'MON! LET'S GET A MOVE ON!" Ed beckoned to his brother and Al nodded, following Ed. They slammed the gates shut just as the last Chimera rammed into it. Ed clapped and deconstructed it and Al flinched slightly.

Meanwhile, in with Rae. She walked cautiously along the wall, her gun held at the ready on her breast. She walked slowly across the bridge. She heard a noise behind her and she turned, training her gun where she believed the noise to be coming from. She heard the noise again and swung around, 'Where are they?' She felt her heart beating faster then suddenly a bright light flashed in the cavern, illuminating everything. Rae covered her eyes with her arm and squinted. Her eyes opened wide as she saw what was surrounding her.

"Holy shit…" Rae was surrounded by Chimeras; they were all over the walls, on the ledges where the workers usually were.

"I see you like my creations." She heard a woman's voice and she aimed at the spot where she heard the voice. "I don't think so… you fire that gun I'll sick my pets on you."

"Who are you?" Rae demanded.

"My name? I can't tell you that but I can tell you this. If the military doesn't get its nose out of this mine I will borrow more of its operatives." The voice said. 'Where is she?' She swung in a circle, looking around. "But I know who you are… Rae Mustang… I knew it was only a matter of time before the military sent in one of their deadliest assassins… you are a living weapon you know that?"

"I was trained to kill people… I know."

"No but you were also trained to be one of the deadliest weapons the military possesses."

"Right now if you don't come down here…" She heard a laugh that echoed around the cavern.

"Come down there? Why should I come down there?" The woman chuckled, "To be killed by a girl who has no idea of the power she possesses? Or perhaps it's to be killed by one of the DSA's deadliest assassins… do you know who you are dealing with?"

"I would… perhaps if you would show your face." Rae snarled, she was getting tired of messing around with this woman. She saw out of the corner of her eye that lion chimeras were now circling her, snarling and growling.

"Very well…" Suddenly a woman appeared from above her, and landed in front of Rae. She was wearing a long white lab coat with military pants and boots, her long sleek brown hair was pulled up in a bun. Her eyes were a brilliant green. Her hands were in her pockets and she was standing with her right hip out to the side slightly. She smirked at Rae.

"Ah so this is the woman who's threatening me with all these Chimeras." Rae smirked back, "The famous Cross-Breed Alchemist… Acheille Normant." Rae stood up straight and suddenly Achielle began to laugh then she pulled out a gun and fired at Rae. She fell back, her shoulder bleeding profusely. Rae looked up as the lion Chimeras attacked.
