GRAMMERS NOTE: NO SPEEL CHECK!

Teh Queen: I'm apoligising now, and now, and again later. You'll see why if you are bothered to read this chapter. I really do hate it.

Teh Slave: heh, yeah, too bad you were so bored.

The Queen: I know! This chapter is out of beyond boredom, so yeah, that's no excuse.

Ed awoke the next morning to find himself alone in the room. A small note sat on the coffee table addressed to him.

Edward:
Gone into town.
Be back before our car comes at 10am.

-Fel
Ed sighed and pocketed the note before glancing at the clock. 8:30am. The town wasn't that big, chances were if he went out he would find her. She probably needed time to think.

It was a small town, they never found out the name of it, but it wasn't too far from the boarder.

-As soon as war breaks out, I can picture this place becoming nothing more than a military base in no mans land.- Ed thought to himself as he wandered out to find a nice place for breakfast.
No such luck.
The town was poor and appeared to belong to the black market, every now and then he noticed people looking at him sideways, or eying his right arm as another item they could sell, there was one particular man who wore a low hat that even seemed to be following him, he was really stating to wish he hadn't left his gloves back in the room.
Ed's mind was now more on finding Fel than breakfast, so that they could both leave. He had decided her thinking time was up, especially if it meant her being alone in this town, he had to hand it to Oberth for choosing their fine accommodation.
Slowly, but surely, the towns atmosphere seemed to get friendlier. Less people were offering him things like the finger nails of dead kings or cursed daggers, finally letting out a sigh of relief when sitting on a create outside what looked like a garden supplies shop was Fel. Ed almost found himself annoyed at her, going off alone through such a bad neighborhood, she didn't need to be alone, did he have to tell her that again?
"Why did you follow me?" Fel whimpered more to herself as Ed approached her.
"Who else am I going to have breakfast with? Besides, I couldn't let you take advantage of such a, er, loverly little town." Ed said offering a hand to pull her to her feet, but once she did, he still held on. "You don't have to live it alone Fel, I'll help any way I can, and will protect you no matter what." He said sternly, trying to re-assure both her, and himself. Fel blinked at him a few times and smiled softly before her eyes widened over Eds' shoulder, who turned to see what had made her eyes suddenly turn so intimidated.
The same shadowed figure that Ed had spotted following him earlier, his hat lower than ever. Ed felt slightly stupid as to not notice the man approach them from behind.
"You guys are outsiders, right?" A slightly smoother sounding voice than what Ed expected hummed out from under the mans hat, Ed could just make out his mouth moving between sheets of greasy, shoulder length black hair. The mans' stature was only assisted by the ankle length, black coat his slouched shoulders were supporting.
"So what if we are?" Ed stated back, probably more confronting than he intended, but he had just about enough of the townspeople here.
Fel shuffled behind Ed, it seemed out of character for her to be nervous around any type of stranger, but Ed soon found himself just as nervous as the man smirked and casually pulled a luger pistol from an inside pocket and twirled it, dangerously close to the trigger, on the end of his finger.
"This baby was made in Germany, just like you rats. After the inn keep told me of your little journey to the Soviet, I decided that maybe you two should get more acquainted. You see, most people around these parts don't take kindly to people helping the Soviets, let alone if those people were German." The man titled his hat back, revealing tired grey eyes that fell back into their sockets, and a thin, unshaven face. A scowl stretched between his cheeks, it made Ed want to hit him.
Ed was just about to say how they were due elsewhere, when Fel piped up with a statement that almost made him lose his balance.
"Don't forget our deal Dob, I'll do whatever you ask remember?" Her voice dripping with anger at the man she called 'Dob', Ed assumed this was short for something, and was later proved right.
"Ay Dobieslaw, she's said her goodbyes, now bring her here!" a man leant out of a second story window, not far from where they were standing.
-What has Fel gotten into? She's acting so casual, what could she possibly be planning!- Ed was having a silent war within himself as he stared paralyzed as Fel walked in front of him, head down, following this 'Dob' guy. But he couldn't stand by, she was doing it again, suffering by herself. So he hastily grabbed her arm.
"Fel, you care to explain? Does it really seem like that long ago when I told you that you don't have to live it alone?"
Fel gazed back into Eds almost golden eyes, worry welling in her own, tears trapped behind them. Dob broke forwards, pointing his pistol in the middle of Eds forehead.
"Your lady here made a deal with us, she has some interesting marks on her back, and she could fetch us a nice price on the markets, anyone dabbling in the supernatural stuff will be assured to come flocking, so we're taking her, in exchange for both your lives, although hers might as well be over eh?" Dob chuckled, pulling Fel away from Eds outreached hand.

Teh Queen: I think I re-wrote this chapter 3 times before settling on this.

Teh Slave: You have waisted their precious time.

Teh Queen: Touche. Even so, Please review ;
