Dark Vengeance CHAPTER 4

Pride opened the giant iron doors to the main hall, they made a big clinging sound as Edward looked up and glared. "What did you do with her?" Ed was angry, Pride smiled again, seeming to enjoy himself.

"Lets just say she's not feeling anymore pain right now, Dante will be angry but she can use your body instead. I bet she'll like your body anyway, how strong it is." Pride chuckled happily, Edward shot up halfway as his chained restraints kept him back.

"You didn't…k...kill her?" Pride turned towards Lust who was laying on the ground. He kept quiet for a moment before speaking back to the older boy.

"And what if I did? What can you do about it now? Huh? I see a pitiful little pet, chained to wall. Your nothing, you couldn't even save your friend Winry, you cant even save your brother who's in the same room as you! I've never seen anything so pathetic in all my years of existence. You sit there crying your eyes out, like a little boy of 7. You're a State Alchemist for heavens sake, but I guess whiny little boys are easier to kill." Edward was shocked. He had tears falling down his face. For once he didn't have anything to say back, no plan to do. He was unmatched, he couldn't kill Pride without his weakness. His brother was a goner as long as he was in the barred prison. His hands couldn't reach at all, so he couldn't do a transmutation.

Edward looked at this hand, all flesh, it was wet from the sweat he was producing. He kept pulling on the chain hoping for a miracle to happen. Pride walked over to the Lust pile and observed his handy work. Ed just stared as his hand kept pulling at the chain. He put his hand into a fist and started pulling harder, wishing the chain would break with whatever strength he had left. He looked back at the chain with the connected handcuff, made of steel. "I wonder..," he whispered, as he straightened out his hand as small and skinny he could, squishing his fingers together. He slowly pulled it down. It slipped smoothly out of the handcuffs. He smiled and hurried and worked on the other hand.

Pride kicked the Lust pile, she sprang up and stabbed Pride in the chest. He took a step back pulling out his sword at the same time, cursing the woman, he threw the sword like a dart towards the female. Lust deflected the sword, she jumped towards another door, "You boys are on your own," with that she quickly disappeared. Pride cursed again as he ran up the stairs to a door, with Dante inside. Ed put his hand beside the handcuffs to disguise his break.

Pride looked back, "Don't move…," he then opened the door and proceeded down the long hallway with the door closing behind him.

Ed went back to work on the hand cuffs as he clapped his hands, breaking free his automail. He quickly went to Al's side, being careful of the philosophers stone, and quickly released him. They went to the same back door that Pride exited. Opening it, Ed gave out assignments. "Al go get Winry's body, we should at least bury it. I'll go get Rose's, she deserves the same courtesy." They went their own ways, Ed up the stairs, and Al down the corridor.

Dante held the cooing baby, it's tiny fingers grasped one of hers. She smiled, "Soon I will become your mother, yes… you will come to love me." She walked silently to the window, swaying the baby gently, hoping for him to sleep. She leaned against the side of window and sighed. "Maybe I shouldn't have let Pride have fun with my newly acquired body?" she thought. She stared out at the city, as people walked around. Busy little bees not knowing what was to become of them in due time. "Their sacrifice to the Philosophers Stone and helping get me my new body." She looked at her rotting flesh.

"I must hurry before I become completely covered," she rocked the baby softly. He was slowly falling asleep. His eyes closing his breathing softening. Dante set him on the bed, gathering blankets to put at his sides.

Dante smiled as she walked to the door, five steps away and the door flew open revealing Pride. "What is it?" she demanded of him.

"I have come to give you a proposition," Dante raise an eyebrow. "What if, instead of using that stupid girl, use the boy. He has plenty of alchemy power for your advantage, and you could still say he was the father of that baby. Her body would be of no use to you!" Pride stated, hoping to convince her.

"What did you do with her," Dante knew something had to up. Pride more then ever wanted to kill Edward.

"Something happened, and she is in no condition to be any body." Dante smacked Pride upside the head.

"Idiot, what did you do?"

"I may have killed her," Dante hearing this, grew silent. Her hands became fists, she was lost in her anger for a couple moments.

"Prepare the boy. If you hurt him in anyway, I'll kill you! GO!" The door closed after Pride. Dante became furious, she warned him not to get carried away. She felt stupid for even giving him an okay. She punched the wall, leaving a gaping hole in it.

Calming down a little bit, she went back to the bed. The sleeping baby was very peaceful. "Don't worry little one, I will become your father. Father and son, it's always a great relationship."

Walking down the corridor, Edward saw an open door. Quickly running in, his eyes widened and his jaw dropped. There was a bloody mess allover. The bed and the surrounding floor were covered in blood. Then his eyes found her, covered in blood and semen.

He grabbed a sheet that was conveniently placed in the corner, and was by her side an instant later. He wiped the blood/semen mixture off her body. He doubled said sheet and used it to wrap her body, then taking his shirt off to sponge her arm and neck.

She didn't move or make any sound as he touched the wounds. He noticed she was barely breathing.

"Dammit, I should've stopped him sooner." he cursed Pride. Picking her body up slowly, he held her close and cradled her head on his shoulder. He left the room and heard a door closed, followed by a loud crash. He took it as Dante didn't like the news Pride brought. It also signaled that he should hurry and meet up with his brother.

He ran down the steps and down the corridor Al went down a few moments ago.

Al ran down the hallway and into another set of hallways, "Now how did we get in here," he looked around. It was like a giant maze.

After walking around, he finally found some light. He exited the long tunnel and into the back garden. He didn't see Winry's body anywhere. Wondering if it was a set up, he heard the familiar voice of his brother.

"Al…Al…are you there?" Edward called out. Al met up with him and told him about his findings.

"So, no Winry. Maybe it was a set up. Let's just get out of here." Al agreed and they ran off in the direction of Central, hoping to get there before they lost Rose completely.
