After much searching, Sakura, Al, Roy and Riza finally found the two teen agers, but what they saw wasn't expected. They saw Ed, crying into a limp body that once belonged to a soul named Raven. "Raven?" Sakura said. The four came to Ed's side, not noticing three of the seven deadly sins standing there, whom decided to leave before Roy and Riza noticed. Keeping his head dipped, Ed sat up allowing his brother and the red haired girl to seen what had become of Raven. "Raven? Raven wake up!" Sakura said shaking Raven's body, no response. "C'mon, this isn't funny!" They all were silent, Roy looked away, Riza crouched down to Raven's side. "E-Ed, she isn't… She didn't…" Al stuttered. "Yeah, she did… She did what I had tried so hard to get her not to do." Ed said in a low voice.
Sakura tried to hold back balling, but she couldn't for long, now she buried her face in Raven's chest crying. Ed looked up at his little brother when he heard him begin to cry too. Ed didn't like seeing his brother cry, even if his brother couldn't really cry, that didn't change the presence of sorrow. Ed looked back at Raven's face, and instantly remembered how they first met. He remembered how drawn he was to her, but he couldn't understand why. This made him think about how much he was going to miss her. Ed put his hand on to Raven's neck, and propped her head up. One thing was for sure, she looked peaceful, that had to constitute for something, maybe it was her time. Suddenly Ed felt something pulse under his finger. He quickly looked back at Raven's face and he felt the pulse again… Then again… It was a heart beat, Ed's eyes widened, "It can't be…" He said. Sakura sat and wiped her eyes, "What can't be?" She asked in a depressed way. Ed pressed his head to Raven's chest, he felt her chest rise and fall, he heard her heart. She was alive.
"She's alive!!!" Ed shouted. "What?" Al exclaimed. All attention was drawn back to Raven. "B-But, it can't be!" said Riza. Ed sat back up and stared at Raven's face, and watched her eyes slowly open. She looked up at Ed, looking confused "Edward…?". He began to smile as tears began to fall down his face once again. "RAVEN!!" Sakura shouted. Raven looked over to Sakura and before she knew it Sakura had her arms around her. Raven looked around to see Riza happily crying too, Roy even shed a few tears.
Raven sat up and rubbed her head since it hurt a little bit, "What happened… And why are you guys all crying? Was I dead or something?" She said, scanning all of the familiar faces. She looked over at Ed, his face broke into a big grin. "Something along those lines…" He said. "But, I don't understand, if I was dead, I wouldn't have been able to come back to life just like that." Raven exclaimed. "I have a theory." Roy stated. We all looked at him, "There is a possibility that Raven's body went into shock and her heart stopped. Possibly caused by being hit by a large explosion, am I correct?" He smiled at Raven.
(Raven's POV)
Ed and I looked at each other, "I do remember a loud explosion before I went unconscious." I said. "It's a blessing that you're still alive, it's a good thing your heart started again by itself." Riza said, smiling warmly at me. I smiled too, then I looked at the ground then I said "Yeah, I suppose it was." Ed gently lifted my chin up, I looked at him and he smiled at me. I smiled back, then, without warning he threw his arms around me. I began to embrace him as well, while I felt tears from Edward dripping in to my shoulder.
We came out of embrace, "Just one thing" Ed said "Please don't scare the shit out of like that again." We both tried to keep a strait face, but it didn't last. Soon all of us were laughing. At this point I was completely convinced that I should have listened to Ed, I was being stubborn and hard headed about it all. But I've learned my lesson, what was the point of my experiment when I'll never know weather or not history will repeat itself because I won't be alive. All my life I've always known that I wouldn't have a very normal life, but I never thought it'd be this weird. What matters is I'm happy, I can't dwell on past events for the rest of my life. Whatever lies ahead, well, looks like I'm stuck again with no idea, but I don't mind, I have many people who care about me here. They are my family too now, its good to know that I won't be alone.
"Tears, laughter, anger, they are merely fragments of life. Just like us, nothing but fragments in an uncontrollable current."
