Kind of a long chapter…sorry…please review…

When we got back to Envy's house, Envy cut the belts off our wrists, making sure not to damage them in case he needed them again
"Since you both are now my pets, you are also my slaves," Envy said as he leaned against a wall.
"What are these bands?" I asked as I glared at him.
"Those are to keep you from using alchemy," Envy replied. "Now, the first thing I want you two to do is to go get food for us. And if you two even think about escaping, you will pay dearly and never be allowed to leave this house without me again."
Edward and I nodded slightly, then headed back towards the woods, still in our alchemy-preventing chains. "How are we gonna get out of this?" Edward asked as we walked back into Central.
I shrugged slightly and looked down. "I'm sorry for getting you into this," I apologized.
"It wasn't your fault," Edward replied, lifting my chin. He noticed the cut that Envy gave me and his gaze hardened. "Who gave you this?"
"Envy," I answered. "It's my punishment for escaping him and talking without permission."
"When we get away from him, I'm gonna kill that damn bastard," Edward promised, looking me straight in the eyes.
I smiled slightly, then headed towards a market. "Come on," I said. "If we take too long, Envy will probably come looking for us and punish us both."
Edward nodded and we started walking again. "I can't let any more harm come to her," he thought as we walked. "Envy will pay." Since both Edward and I were in weird outfits for being in Central and we both had collars on, naturally, everyone who saw us stared at us.
After we had enough food for a week or so, we headed back towards the house, our arms full of bags. As soon as Edward and I got back and put everything away, we headed upstairs to try to find Envy. "Envy?" Edward asked as he opened the bedroom door.
Suddenly, Edward was on the floor, Envy standing over him. "I'm going to say this rule once," Envy told us, "so you better listen. Since you are my pets, you are to call me, 'Master.' Got that?"
"Yes, Master," Edward and I growled, malice in every word.
"Soon, you'll be able to say it without any malice," Envy said, forcefully pulling Edward to his feet. "Now, let me show you two to your new room." He grabbed me and led us to a small room with 2 small beds with leashes attached to the headboards. Quickly, Envy connected our collars to the leashes and left, locking the door behind him.
"Colonel?!" Alphonse called urgently, banging on the door of Roy's office. "Colonel?!!"
"What?" Roy asked as he opened the door. "What's wrong, Alphonse?"
"You know how Edward said that Envy took Emilee? And made her his pet?"
"Yes," Roy replied. "Alphonse, where are Edward and Emilee?"
"Well, Emilee escaped but Envy found her and took both her and Edward," Alphonse answered in one breath, his eyes growing watery.
"Calm down," Roy said as he sat Alphonse down on the couch. "We can't do anything tonight. But first thing in the morning, I'll take Hughes, Hawkeye, and a few others and I'll get them back. Besides, with those two around, my job is a lot more interesting."
Alphonse smiled slightly, then looked down. "Sir, can I stay here tonight?" he asked.
"Sure, I've got work to do here anyway," Roy replied, sitting down at his desk. He watched in silence as Alphonse lay down on the couch and wrapped himself in the two red cloaks that he brought with him. "Edward and Emilee's probably," Roy thought as he got back to work.
The next morning, I woke up when Envy pulled on my leash, jerking me out of bed. "What?" I asked, as Envy unlocked my leash and pulled me out of the room, leaving Edward locked to his bed.
"I have something for you to do," Envy said as he pulled me down the hall to his bedroom. He pushed me into his room and threw me a broom. "You are to clean this room. If you do a good job, I'll reward you. If not, you will be punished."
"Yes, Master," I muttered as Envy walked out, closing the door behind him.
After he left me, Envy headed back to me and Edward's room. "Get up, Fullmetal," Envy ordered, pulling Edward out of bed after he unlocked the leash. "You're gonna clean outside today."
"Where's Emilee, Master?" Edward asked, struggling to call Envy 'Master.'
"You don't need to know," Envy smirked, tossing Edward another broom. "Get to work." As Edward started to head around to the side of the house, Envy closed the door and after he turned into a military official, he started to head back towards Central. "When you finish, stay outside. You are not allowed back inside until I get back."
"Bastard," Edward muttered when he couldn't see Envy anymore. When he thought he saw Envy turn back, he ran around the back of the house to start cleaning.
At Central Command, Alphonse was still asleep on the couch when Riza came into Roy's office. "Sir, we have some information on the whereabouts of Edward and Emilee," Riza said. She looked over at the couch and saw Alphonse, the two cloaks still wrapped around him. "Sir, is Alphonse alright?"
"Yes, he was just tired and scared for Fullmetal and Shadow," Roy replied, his gaze still on the papers in front of him. "What do you have about them?"
"Well, yesterday, they were seen in a market, but they left before any military personnel could get there," Riza answered, handing Roy the report on it. "Witnesses said that they were wearing strange outfits. They seemed to be in a hurry to get huge amounts of food. Then they headed back into the woods without talking to anyone or seeking help."
"I wonder why they didn't come straight to the military," Roy said.
"Envy probably threatened them," Alphonse interrupted as he sat up.
"What do you mean?" Riza asked as she and Roy looked over at him.
"When Envy took them, he threatened that he would have Lust kill me if they didn't come with him," Alphonse explained. "And when we found Envy trying to go back to his house with Emilee, he threatened her with something if she talked, then he traced something on her face and she looked like she was in pain."
"Riza, can you look after Alphonse for a few minutes?" Roy asked, standing up.
"Yes, but Sir, where are you going?" Riza asked.
"I'll be right back," he said, walking out the door.
A few minutes later, Roy returned followed by Hughes, Havoc, Falman, Fuery, and Breda. "Alphonse, don't worry," Hughes comforted as Riza joined them. "We're gonna get your older brother and sister back."
"I'm coming with you," Alphonse decided, standing up.
"Alphonse, it's too dangerous," Riza said. "You need to stay here where it's safe."
"I don't care what you say," Alphonse objected. "I'm going, and you can't stop me."
"How come every Elric I meet or have under my control is stubborn?" Roy muttered. "Alright Alphonse, I'll allow you to come with us, but you can't go off on your own."
"Yes, Sir," Alphonse replied, his face lighting up with joy.
When Envy came back to his house, he found Edward asleep in front of the house, his broom still in his hand. When Envy looked around, he saw that the outside of the house was completely clean. He walked up to the sleeping Edward and stomped his foot down on his chest.
"Wake up, Fullmetal," Envy said, transferring more of his weight onto Edward's chest. Edward said nothing; he was too busy trying to wrench Envy's foot off of his chest. Suddenly, Envy grabbed Edward's hair, pulling him to his feet. "You did well, my pet. Your new job is to make dinner for me."
"What about me and Emilee?" Edward asked, rubbing the spot on his chest where Envy had practically stood on him.
"I forgot to tell you, if you two aren't good for me, then you don't get anything to eat," Envy replied, dragging Edward inside. "Now get working."
As soon as he pushed Edward into the kitchen, he headed upstairs to see what I was doing. When he opened his bedroom door, Envy found an extremely clean room, but no me. He turned to leave, but Greed blocked the doorway. "What do you want, Greed?" Envy asked.
"I came to ask you for something," Greed replied. "I want to borrow one of your pets for a couple days."
"Which one?" Envy asked, crossing his arms.
Greed smirked slightly and pulled me into view. "This one," he said, holding my arm tightly.
"Sure," Envy replied, grinning evilly. "Just make sure that you don't lose her."
"I promise," Greed said, smirking. He started to pull me down the stairs, connecting a leash to my collar in the process.
Suddenly, Edward grabbed my arm, wrenching me away from Greed's grip. "What the hell do you think you're doing with her?!" Edward demanded, wrapping his arms around me protectively.
"I've made an agreement with Envy," Greed replied, reaching out to grab me again. "The Shadow Alchemist is mine for the next few days." He grabbed my arm and tried to twist me out of Edward's grasp.
"I won't let you take her," Edward hissed, holding more tightly to me.
Suddenly, Envy appeared behind Edward and grabbed him, ripping us apart, me in Greed's arms and Edward in Envy's. "Let go!" Edward cried, struggling in Envy's grip. Envy jabbed his elbow into Edward's stomach and dropped him, causing him to collapse on the floor.
"Edward!" I exclaimed as he collapsed.
"Greed, you should leave now," Envy said, looking down at Edward. "Before Fullmetal here wakes up. And when he does wake up, it won't be pretty."
"Edward!" I exclaimed again as Greed dragged me out the door.
"Calm down," he said as he pulled harder on my leash, dragging me into Central. "You'll see him in a few days. Now come on!" He pulled even harder on my leash, making me fall forward. "Hurry up," he ordered as I slowly got to my feet. He continued to pull me though the streets of Central not caring who saw.
Suddenly, I saw Roy and Riza round the corner, heading right towards us. "Emilee!" Riza exclaimed as she saw us, drawing her gun and cocking it at Greed.
"Let her go," Roy ordered, bringing his hand up, ready to snap.
Before Roy or Riza could do anything though, Greed pulled me in front of him, wrapping an arm around my torso, restricting my arms and placing a hand over my mouth. "Now, if you'll excuse us," Greed said, "we'll be going."
"Let her go," Roy ordered again, walking closer.
"Now, now," Greed replied. "Take one step closer and I'll kill the Shadow Alchemist."
Roy looked like he wanted to snap, but he reluctantly brought his hand down by his side. "Good. Now, why don't you go bother Envy," Greed suggested, releasing me from his grip. "Let's go." He pulled on my leash, dragging me away from my superior officer.
