Chapter 8: Discoveries and Confessions

Dayna showed Ed how she took care of the place when she moved back in. After a while, Ed said that he had to head back and hope that he didn't get in trouble. As he turned to leave, Dayna grabbed his hand and told him that she wanted to show him one more thing.
She led him to the garden and showed him some small blue flowers growing there.

"Firefly grass"
"Yeah, they started to bloom a few days ago"

Ed bent down and picked a flower and held it to his chest.

"…Al… I still remember him telling me about the power of Firefly grass"
"I came out here a few times to hold a blossom, wishing that you and Al would come through the front door with smiles on your faces"

Ed stood up and started to leave.

"Ed!"
"What is it?"

Dayna threw herself at Ed and kissed him tenderly on the lips. Ed embraced her, he didn't want to leave, but had no choice. They separated and in a flash, he jumped in the air and disappeared from her sight.

"Please be ok"

Ed snuck back via one of the passages that he and Envy sometimes took. When he arrived, he looked around to see if there was anyone around. Seeing that the coast was clear, he made his way back to his room and opened the door…where a fist planted into his face and knocked him onto the ground!

"Where the fuck have you been?"
"Brother, I'm sorry. I was out and didn't realize the time so I hid so that no one would see me"

Envy delivered a sharp kick to his stomach.

"You're lying to me Pride. What have I told you about lying to me!?"
"Ugh…Never"
"Tell me where you were last night and don't lie to me or you won't live to regret it!"

Ed didn't know what to do, he stared at the ground, trying to find something to say.

"You look different Pride. Your eyes are different"

Ed stayed quiet. Envy forcefully grabbed his arm and pulled Ed towards him. As Envy pulled on his arm he heard a crunching noise that sounded like paper. He reached into Ed's long glove and pulled out three pictures.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE THESE? YOU KEPT THESE FROM THE OFFICE DIDN'T YOU?"
"None of your business"

Envy punched him in the face and then kicked him in the shin. Ed dropped like a rock.

"How dare you talk to me like that Pride…or is it Ed?"

Ed looked up to see the thing that scared him the most…Envy was smiling!

"Didn't think I would find out? I followed you last night, I saw you and her dancing through the window. That's where you've been going these past nights, hasn't it? You've been going to your little girlfriend's house and getting your memory back. Tomorrow night, we're going to pay her a visit and I'll teach her a lesson"
"Please don't hurt Dayna! I'll do anything, just please don't kill her"
"Too late" said Envy as he kicked Ed in the head, causing him to black out.
