ANOTHER FREAKING EARLY UPDATE. Don't you just love me? /shot lol I actually wasn't even planning on updating today, but since Emily insisted that I write it today, because it's one of her personal favorites… I was like, Eh why not? So here it is, Chapter EIGHT! WOOHOO! Alright now, get to reading.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist or anything else used in this story. I only own Emily and her family (Including Uncle Mark)

-sniff- This is when Emily would've ranted about how I don't own her… ON WITH THE STORY!

Chapter 8

"Home… so that's your house?" Ed asked, as he studied the building I had sketched in my note book.

"Yeah…" I answered, smiling sadly. "This is where my mother, father, and brother are now." I explained. He looked up at me and then looked back down to the sketch.

"Does it make you sad?" he asked quietly.

I cleared my throat, "Yeah… it does…"

I slept a dreamless sleep that night. When I woke up, Ed and Al were already getting ready for the day, so I reluctantly rolled out of bed and got ready as well. When we all sat down so Ed and I could eat breakfast, I pulled out my chair and my wrist began to hurt. "Ah…!" I cried as I held my wrist to my chest.

"What happened? Is your wrist starting to hurt again?" Al anxiously asked.

"No, I think I just rolled it the wrong way…" I replied and sat down. "So what do we have planned for today?" I asked the two boys sitting across the table from me.

"We're taking a break and going down to this nature park at the edge of central. At lunch we'll have a picnic or something, and Al can play with all the stray cats that run around there." explained Ed, playfully nudging his brother's steel arm. I nodded and finished my meal.

We packed everything needed for today and left for the park. It took awhile to get there, but eventually, we made it.

There were hills, trees, and flowers all over the place. It was beautiful. I gazed at the amazing landscape in awe. "You go find us a place to relax, we'll catch up in a second." called Ed.

I smiled and nodded, then ran over to a bare hill and sat down. I had packed my pencil and my notebook, so I took them out and started drawing. I decided to practice my realistic art, since the only this I was really good at was anime and landscaping.

Someone walked up behind me and stopped, probably watching me draw. I assumed it was Ed so I didn't turn around, well at least until they said, "Say, I think your art has gotten better since the last time I saw you!"

I froze as I realized that it wasn't Ed's voice, although it was vaguely familiar. I'd heard this voice before. I hesitated before slowly turning around and looking this new person in the face. When I had registered his face, I realized where I had seen him before.

"How did you..?" I asked, legitimately shocked. This man was the exact same man who had complimented me on the plane!

"How did I get here…?" He asked, finishing my question for me. "Well, how did you get here?" he smirked. Something about his voice unsettled me; I just couldn't put my finger on it…

"Uh… I was at my Uncle's house, and I decided to take a walk… It was raining and the thunder startled me-" I was interrupted by his sudden fit of laughter. He was in hysterics and that frustrated me. "Why are you laughing?" I shouted.

"You really thought that was thunder?" He snickered after calming down a bit. I raised my eyebrow in confusion. Did he know more about this than I did? "I mean, I figured you would, but still! If only you knew the truth, then you'd be able to see how stupid you look!"

He called me stupid… something tells me he that isn't one of the good guys. "What is the truth?" I asked, frustrated.

"Okay, okay! I'll tell you! You know who brought you here? I did! I was told to! When I talked to you on the plane, my buddy, who was sitting behind you, took your passport and made a copy of it! When we got all your information, I tracked you down. That thunder you heard was my transportation technique. Luckily, you fainted before you were transported. Do you see how idiotic you look? You've been walking in the dark this whole time! See?" He cracked up some more, then with a wave of his hand, he made the same thunder-like sound that I heard at Uncle Mark's.

It filled me with anger, and I could barely keep from yelling my head off. My fists trembled as I clenched them and tears began to form in my eyes, as I said, "Then why the hell did you send me here? What did I ever do to you?" I yelled that last part and my voice cracked.

"It's not what you did… it's what you're going to do." he answered. I scowled at him until he said more. "My boss planned this all out. The organization I work for, we're planning to take over both this world, and the world you came from." he explained.

"That doesn't answer my question." I growled.

"You, dear girl, are the only one who can stop us. I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. At least, that's what the boss says. I mean, really, how is a fourteen year old girl going to stop us? The average age of everyone in this damn organization is like, thirty or something, but what fun is there with out a challenge, right?" he mused. "So since you're going to be here for a while… and I'm a nice guy…" I scoffed but he continued, "I'll send you home to your Uncle for one day. One day, only! So you can tell him you're alright. What do you say?" he offered.

I processed what he had just said. Even if it was for just one day only, I would get to see Uncle Mark again. I would've smiled, if it weren't for the immense anger coursing through me… "…Alright." I finally said.

"Great." He smirked. "Oh, I'm Lemur, by the way." Lemur waved his hand and I heard the thunder again.

Apparently Ed heard it too, because just as the mysterious black mist swirled around me, I heard him yell, "EMILY!"

I looked at him and he was running full speed in my direction. "ED!" I yelled in surprise. Two seconds later, he slammed into me and the mist encased us both. He held me tightly in his arms, while I squeezed my eyes shut and buried my head into his shoulder. When we heard a low whirling sound, his grip on me tightened, probably because he didn't know what the hell was going on. Last time I was transported like this, I was unconscious and Ed wasn't with me. I knew this was probably a trick. When we arrive, we'll probably be surrounded, I'll probably die, and maybe Ed would get to safety. Of course, that's the worst case scenario. No, scratch that. The worst case scenario would be if they killed Uncle Mark. I'd kill every last one of those bastards if they killed my beloved Uncle.

Worry burned in my throat as the whirling stopped. "Is it… over?" I asked.

Ed loosened his grip, but didn't let go. "I think so… we're not at the park anymore, though."

When he said this, my eyes shot open and I couldn't breathe. We weren't surrounded; we were standing in the exact same place that I'd passed out in. This meant…"No way…" I breathed.

"What?" Ed asked, confused. I shuddered as a thought settled in my mind, and struggled until Ed let go of me.

Urgency spread through me, and I sprinted in what I hoped was the right direction. Ed followed me, keeping pace easily. We ran for what seemed like forever until a small red house came into view. I sprinted as fast as I could, almost falling into the driveway when I turned, and stopped at the front door to catch my breath.

Then, holding my breath, I reached for the doorknob. "What are you doing…?" Ed whispered, but I ignored him. The door was unlocked.

I forcefully opened the door and scanned the insides. I almost cried when June saw me and hissed at me.

I rushed through the house, looking for someone. Reaching the dining room, I stood there and stared at him.

I was still breathing heavily, so he looked up at me.

"Emily…?" he gasped, as he stood up, knocking his chair over. "Is…is that really you?" he asked, sounding like he was about to cry.

Tears welled up in my eyes and I squeaked, "Uncle Mark…"

Ed seemed to be confused. "That's your…Uncle?" His presence was ignored at the moment, as Uncle Mark literally tripped over himself to get over to me.

We stood there hugging each other and crying, while Ed just stood there awkwardly.

Even if it was just for one day, I was happy.

We all sat on the couch, and Uncle Mark was still drying his tears. His attention turned to Ed, "Who are you? Why are you with her?" he questioned.

In response, Ed smiled and held out his right hand; the hand made of steel. "I'm Edward Elric. I'm friends with your niece." Ed introduced himself.

Uncle Mark shook Ed's hand and didn't seem to mind that it wasn't flesh. "Mr. Mark." he said sternly, then turning to me, he said, "Where the hell were you?" I flinched at the pain and worry in his voice.

"I was… taken… to a place far away from here. I'll explain later, but tell me… what did you do?" I asked.

I wanted to know how Uncle Mark had handled this.

Yaaayy I actually finished this before midnight. ;u; Sorry, I'm not going to be able to post chapter 9 tomorrow. I'm going to a zoo with my family! lol yeah that's really all I had to say. I HOPE YOU LIKED IT, DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW, AND HAVE A NICE DAY!
