Chapter 8: Escape
~ROY~
Military Dorms, Ed and Al's room, 11:33am
As Roy Mustang re-entered the dorm room he noticed Al, Riza, and Winry had not moved from the spots they were in when he had left 20 minutes ago.
About two hours ago both Riza Hawkeye and himself arrived at the Elric boys dorm room to find Alphonse and Winry. Since then, they talked a lot; About the meeting with Fuhrer Bradley to what Winry had so recently come to learn. They ended with how they should respond to it all and decided to fight it. Like many others in the military they certainly did not wish to be on the opposite side as Edward. Although they still didn't know what was happening in detail nor what was going to happen. They would not treat Ed as a monster... At least until they knew if he was still 'Ed' or not, and Roy had no plans in trusting Bradley's word in saying Edward wasn't and will never be 'Ed' again. He also refused to believe that. They planned that the best way to move forward with their plan to rescue Ed would be to speak to him. Although they all knew about the many guards who were refusing any visitors; Roy, being the highest up of the 4, went down to request to see Ed. And was just now returning to the room after the unsuccessful trip.
"So?" Riza asked with a worried face, Winry had perked up with the sound, and Al just sat quietly already knowing the answer to come.
"No luck." Roy responded quietly as he sat down on one of the dining table's chairs. Ed and Al's room was, like every other military dorm room, very similar to his own old dorm here. It was like a little hotel suite. You entered in the living room area, with one lamp, two sofas, and a coffee table, which was, as always, littered with many books from the library, papers, and trash. Next to the living area was a mini dining area, which Roy sat in, and beside it was a tiny kitchen, which, as it always was empty. In the back was a little bathroom and bedroom... Just one. As the dorm rooms were made for one. But Ed and Al were inseparable. Not that they needed two beds. Al did not sleep.
"Hughes stopped by. He was looking for you Sir."
Roy turned to Riza as she spoke. Like always she was polite and calm.
"Did he? Did he say why he needed me?"
"No... But he seemed in a hurry. He asked-"
*WARNING WARNING! EDWARD ELRIC HAS ESCAPED! I REPEAT, A VAMPIRE IS ON THE LOOSE! WE WILL NOW HOLD A LOCKDOWN IN THE MILITARY UNTIL WE FIND HIM*
The voice buzzed loudly over the dorm room's speaker.
Winry had thrown her hands over her mouth, eyes wide, as Riza stared at the speaker, mouth slightly agape.
"Brother!" Al side as he raised from the sofa and ran out of the room. As did Roy.
~ED~
The State Military Prison, Ed's cell, 11:52am
Edward bolted down the halls of the military. He didn't have long... Even as scared as he was, he couldn't hold in his laughter.
-Flashback to 9:54am-
'How the fuck-' Ed suddenly felt weak, he was panting and his hands felt numb. Once again his eyes had that strange stinging feeling. It took a minute to realize he was crushing Wrath's note in his fist. He dropped the paper-
'Huh?- That's how' Ed smiled as he looked down at the now frozen solid paper, cold mist hovered around it. Ed looked over a bit at his hand which was glowing blue. He had a power.
-End of Flashback-
Ed smirk grew when he saw his exit.
~Wrath/Bradley~
Fuhrer Bradley walked into the now empty cell, which was surrounded by ice cubed guards and blue mist,
'See you soon Edward, although you should've trusted me, you may be outside now but you'll soon not have a choice but to show your true colours, and the monsters known as vampires will become public. You'll find out how everything has a price to be be paid for.'
Bradley turned to learn as he noticed an empty tin can in the corner of the cell. He grinned once again.
