Hrm? I thought I heard something. Was that in Vi's direction? Earlier Ed and Al decided to split up with Ed taking the middle, and Al taking the right, and if they found something suspicious they would meet up in the old shack on the top of the hill. Ed was noticing something though, the cemetery looked as if it went in a circle, and the graves weren't in straight lines either. Ed realizing what this place was dashed up to the old shack and tried to wave Al down.
Dammit I didn't wanna do this but Al left me no choice. The alchemist sucked in a breath, and at the top of his lungs yelled ALPHONSE! The startled suit looked up from his path and saw his brother jumping up and down like a mad man. The kid chuckled to himself and picked his way through the headstones and jogged up the hill in order to reach his brother.
"What's the matter brother?"
"We need to grab Violet and leave this place now Al."
"Why?"
"This cemetery is a transmutation circle, and have you noticed that the headstones aren't in a line, the headstones make up the symbols in the circle. That's why we need to get Violet and get out of here now." Ed grew paler with every syllable he spoke. CREAK, CREAK. The door moved open and the brothers turned around, almost as if they were facing a pissed off teacher.
"Oh, must you leave so soon. Your friend here delightedly agreed to join me for tea," A light flickered on and it showed Violet tied up in a chair, clearly unconscious.
"YOU BASTARD SHOW YOURSELF AND FACE ME!" Ed quickly transmuted his automail arm into his signature blade. Al assumed a fighting stance and the brothers stood back to back.
"Oh, so it's a fight you want? Well, then I guess it's a fight you'll get." A figure stood in front of Violet's unconscious body. And faster than Ed could think the person was delivering a blow to Ed's side. "I truly do hate to ruin a good meal."
…
Unaware as to what was happening Violet slowly began to regain consciousness, and she sensed her hands were tied behind her back which brought her up to full awareness. She quickly surveyed her surroundings and only found two points of exit and entry, the front door and the chimney. Why me? She clapped her hands together and transmuted the knot into undoing itself. Okay where to exit? And what about a weapon, because I think I hear signs of struggling outside. Weapon…weapon? AHA! Found you! You sneaky bastard. She used the rope she was tied up with and transmuted it into a whip. Slowly she crept to the door, and from the thumping and rattling this fight sounded like a pretty one sided battle. She threw the door open all the way and saw a figure over Ed, Alphonse locked in battle, and saw only one way she cracked her whip hitting the figure in the back.
"Hey UGLY! OVERHERE!"
"What? How did you escape those bonds?"
"Never leave a pissed off girl in a room where she can take anything to her advantage smartass," Violet cracked her whip again this time on the person's face and took off running. Violet jumps, darts, and runs around every headstone in the cemetery, and she was getting tired and pissed off. Finally she whips around (no pun intended) and brandishes her whip and holds her ground. The man ran head long into her trap. When he was 20ft. away within whipping distance Alphonse who had just managed to revive an unconscious Ed heard a giant crack as Violet's whip connected with the man's knee, and the guy came crashing down. Violet (just to make sure) hit him a few more times, to make sure he was down.
"What happened here?" A townsperson cried out. As a huge crowd had gathered to find out what the trouble had been.
"This man has been tricking you, he cannot offer you back human life that you have lost, nor can any other alchemist. He has kidnapped tourists to this area and has used them in performing human transmutation, this man has committed the worst sin ever by trying to reverse God's flow and the natural way of life for all people. What's done is done, that is life, I realize that it is hard to lose your loved ones, and I know what you would give just to see them again, but is it worth it to sacrifice another human life for something, no someone who has moved on, and is hoping that no matter what you lead a happy life. Is it really worth it?" Violet stood before the crowd looking older and wiser than anyone else in that vicinity. The police took the man away, and soon after the crowd disappeared the group set off for their hotel room.
…
All Violet needed right now was to be alone and Ed was not letting it go.
"I mean seriously? You couldn't have waited for a rescue?"
"No Ed, I couldn't because I had been in that SITUATION BEFORE AND I KNEW HOW TO HANDLE MYSELF. ALRIGHT?! IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR? OH ED I'M SO SORRY FOR NOT BEING A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS AND ACTUALLY HAVING A FUCKING BRAIN ON MY SHOULDERS!" She slammed the door that led into the adjoining room, and promptly flung herself onto the bed wailing with despair. Ed let the situation go and settled on the couch, but not without smoke rising out of his ears. A little later on into the night Ed knocked on her door hearing no response he went in any way. He saw the slight rise and fall of her chest, the moonlight hitting her tawny hair perfectly, before Ed knew what he was doing he sat on the edge of the bed and kissed her, the feeling of love swept over him and he knew that they belonged, a girl who was so much like him in many ways, yet someone who kept him on his toes. I might end up liking this pairing. I might even have to thank Colonel Bastard for this assignment, even though the guy didn't have a Philosophers stone on, in, or anywhere near him.
…
Violet knew she remembered this place, because this was where her sister died, because of that jackass of a mother she had. Her dad and her sister were dead, but her mother was dead to her. She chewed the boys out in the morning about not telling her this was her hometown, but in a way she knew why they did it. And if her feelings were different and if she wasn't a dog of the military, she might actually stay in her hometown, but as the train pulled out of the station she knew she was doing the right choice and leaving her past behind her.
…
"I'll turn the report in Ed, I've read some of your previous ones and they suck. So I will be the one turning them in from the both of us." Violet turned away leaving Ed in the middle of the outer office.
"Sheesh Boss, you know how to pick up the fiery ones don't you?"
"EH? WHAT THE HELL Is THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN HAVOC?"
A/N. I couldn't resist writing one more. Besides, I hope you like the series. I DO NOT own FMA or any of its characters, just Violet Hatter the Rose Alchemist.
