Chapter 19 – Finalést
(Final)
We stood there, watching Murder as she watched us. This was our final battle together: Edward and me. I knew my life was now complete, with us being together, and I didn't care if I died here and now. All that I knew was that I loved him, and he loved me back.
"How sweet, Blood."
I looked up and saw Murder step forward, her Black lightening filling her hands. I stepped forward too, with Edward still holding my other hand. Reed and orange flames licked at my hand, and my red eyes burned with anger and hatred, and Murder saw it. "Would you really kill your sister, Blood?"
I smiled. "I would kill my enemy, Murder, not my sister. My sister, Neia, has been dead for nearly a thousand years, Murder, and so has Blood." Murder growled, and I smiled and continued on. "I left that name behind when I learned that Father had ripped out my wings when I was only a newborn. I left my birth name Father and Mother gave me because it wasn't me anymore…I became Crimson, a worker of the military, and one that will purge the world of her own kind." The cheep smile on Murder's face dropped instantly, and she leaped at me, pushing me to the ground. I saw Edward move but I yelled at him to stop.
This was my battle.
I pulled my legs out under me and pushed Murder off of me. A small cut appeared across her neck from my flames. Blood trickled down and she grabbed it, backing down. Murder flew away, and Revenge took her spot. I smiled even deeper as I read his mind.
"You feel bad that I hurt her, huh, Revenge?" I asked with a mock in my voice. He growled and let his white leathery wings lift him into the air. I jumped, sending a fireball in his direction which hit him square in the face. He fell backwards, and landed on the ground with a loud thump. I smiled and walked over to him, and let my power flood through me. The look in his eyes told me he knew what was coming at him. I made a blade out of flames and lightening, and slammed it in his head, which shattered his skull.
Revenge, was dead. One of the Four Killers of Life, was killed.
I walked back over to Edward, with my eyes closed. The entire crowd was silent, and as I walked over to him, the quietness threatened to overcome me. I never thought I would kill him, but I did. On fifth of my mission was over.
When I reached Edward, he smiled, took my hand, and pulled me to him. His lips landed perfectly on mine, and he wrapped his arms around me. I wrapped mine around him and closed my eyes. We were finally together, and we would always be together, and if we separated, we would try to find each other again.
As we kissed, something shocked me beyond belief: I could read his mind.
We were in a land with rolling hills with hundreds of people in fine clothes. Flowers filled the air, and so did the scent of the military's own Roy and Riza. It wasn't a gathering at all – of sorts- , it was a wedding, and it wasn't Roy and Riza who were getting married, no.
I saw Edward underneath an arch that was dressed in flowers. He was wearing a tux, tie and all. A smile was on his face and he held his hand out for me, which I accepted. He pulled me up onto the rise, and I looked at myself. Not to toot my own horn, but, I looked beautiful.
I was in a fancy gown, with a blue bodice, and a white silk skirt. The sleeves seriously flared out, in a pale white see through material. The blue bodice was designed with white fancy rope, that connected the see-through cape in the back. My hair was grown back out, and placed in a beautiful bun with diamonds scattered in it. I looked so nice. Next to me was Riza, who was, I guessed, my bridesmaid. She wore a beautiful red velvet dress, the top being a princess lace spaghetti strapped, and the skirt being long folded red as well. Her beautiful blonde hair was partially worn up. On Edward's side, was Roy, who was looking at Riza. He also wore a tux, and of course, his fire gloves, and behind him, was the suit of armor. Al stood behind them, a black bow tied around the metal where his neck would be. By the way he stood, he was happy.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife," said the pastor in front of us. I turned to Edward, and we kissed.
When we separated, I noticed we were back in the arena, and I had just come out of his mind. He looked at me with a look in his eye. "Ed?" I asked. When he answered his voice was low and worried.
"We need to find Al."
I remembered what Revenge had said about what was to happen to him about, and went off at a fast run, and Edward ran right next to me, but I stopped, feeling something tug at the back of my mind. It was Al's voice. Someone help me! He thought.
"Edward, follow me!" I yelled, and went in the opposite direction. He followed without question. Out of the Arena…Into the Castle… We found Alphonse in a mess in the second floor of the castle, guarded by Devri. His eyes were bloodlusted. I stepped forward and changed again, this time, into my favorite form of all now: how I was when I was traveling.
"Blood, come back for you shorty's brother?" he asked. He seemed insane.
"Who are you calling shorty, bastard!?" Edward yelled. I growled so deep, the sheer force shut Edward up.
"Yes, not in those terms, or that name, but yes," I leaped forward, and quickly grabbed that blade that he had used against me, and slid in between his ribs. Blood trickled down the blade as he fell to the ground. He closed his eyes and expired, and I began to tear slightly, looking away with my eyes closed. "Good-bye, Devri," I said. Sighing, I got up and turned to Al.
Edward was crying over his brother's broken parts, and AL was trying to tell him to be quiet, because he was fine. I finally noticed the smile on Edward's face, and I couldn't help not smile too. "Come, on, let's go," I said, helping Ed carry his brother's parts.
"Where?"
I thought about that. Where would we go? A place where I had called home for the past 300 years entered my mind. "Central. We'll go to Central."
