Top Note: Hello all readers and beyond! I am detecting anger from my last cliffhanger and that agve me joy. -_-" Don't get me wrong, I'm not a sadist. But your anger had meant that you like this story, and that's what made me happy.

Disclaimer: The amazing manga and anime Fullmetal Alchemist belongs to the great Hiromu Arakawa. I own nothing but my plot, plot twists, and Seiren.

*But owning people is illegal! ...Isn't it?*

Seiren ran as fast as her heart will let her. She was going at top speed, only pausing a few times to regain her breath. Even with the breaths, she was tiring quickly. She slowed down, allowing the wind behind her to stop. She took deep breaths in, holding her chest and making sure her heart wouldn't burst from beating so fast. Damn it…Where could they be? Seiren thought. She winced as she took another step forward, attempting to go at full speed again.

Why was she reacting like this? She's only known them for almost a month. Why was she so worried about them? She shook her head. Now was not the time to be thinking about her feelings towards the brothers. She feebly lifted her head, trying to sniff the air for any signs of great masses of steel or of Edward's scent. She knew by trying to find Ed's scent she'd be faced with a horrible fit. Especially at her weak state, she needed blood. But she wasn't going to bite anyone, or drink any blood for that matter.

In an instant, she detected Ed's scent. Seiren winced, something pulsating throughout her body. She balled one of her hands into a fist, trying to drain some of her blood lust. But this wasn't an easy task. She knew what she had to do.

She bit her bottom lip, causing her black cherry blood to spill down her chin. Seiren sucked on her lip, causing a gagging sensation to come over her. Seiren wiped her mouth, and took hold of her stomach. She gagged again and something hacked up her throat.

She stood still as she puked up the vile substances. The taste stung her open cut on her lip but she paid no mind to it. After what seemed like hours, she stopped coughing up blood and vomit.

18.) The consequence of drinking one's blood if a vampire is weakened senses and light-headedness. The correct protocol after drinking one's blood is usually vomiting and feeling severely weak.

19.) The benefit of drinking one's blood if a vampire is suppressed blood lust. Depending on hw much one drinks, determines the time of suppression of blood lust.

Seiren wiped her mouth, feeling even weaker than before. Before she fainted, she ran forward at full speed. Finding Edward and Alphonse not to far ahead. She gripped her bow in her left hand, checking her arrows on her right. She had 12 left. If she played her cards right, she may be able to kill Scar before he killed the Elrics.

She found both of the brothers sitting on a marble statue, in pain from finding out Nina's murder. Seiren half smiled mournfully, trying to ease the brothers back to the hotel. When she took a step forward, she heard the last of what Ed was saying.

"….Great. Here I am thinking of how to do the impossible. I'm a fool. I haven't grown up at all since then…" Edward said and then looked up at the raining sky. "I thought that maybe the rain would wash away all the pain and doubt. But now it's just annoying me."

Alphonse sighed longingly. "I don't even have a body to feel the rain. It's lonely inside here….It's hard." Alphonse closed his hand into a fist and then looked down. "I want to get my old body back…I want to go back to being human."

Seiren chuckled emptily as she walked forward. The brothers didn't seem to notice her, and going against her weakened body, she opened her mouth. "Trust me, Alphonse. You're very much like a human as it is."

Ed looked up, a dead look in his eyes. "What are you doing here?" he said coldly.

Seiren shook her head. "I'm here to get you back to the hotel before you get a cold. Standing in the rain won't wash away all the fears and pain. The only way to do that is-"

"Move forward," Ed snapped. "That's what you had to do, right? The Colonel said so."

Seiren was taken back a bit at his harsh tone. It was so unlike him. His eyes were hard, and looked dead. She had to help him. Help him before his heart closed off completely. Like the girl in her nightmare had done. Seiren looked down a bit, and gripped her bow.

"Yes. I did have to move forward," she responded softly. Just an ounce of pain seeping into her voice. "If you're a fool just as you said you were, then you'd try to move forward too. To forget all that happened. To forget Nina." Seiren clenched her bow tightly as she forced the words out of her mouth. "I know it will be difficult. I know it's hard on you two, but you have to move forward. You'll never forget Nina; I won't either…" Seiren said and then looked at them, compelling them into shock. "But the least you could do to keep Nina smiling in heaven is to not blame yourself for what happened!"

Ed was taken back a bit at her tone. Alphonse was too. Al looked down, and unclenched his fist. "You're right, Seiren. I'm sorry…"

Ed shook his head as he looked right into her eye. "Armenia. Benjamin. Leigh."

Each name hit Seiren right in the heart, causing pain to sweep over her. Tears began to form in her eyes, her chest tightening. It's been years since she had heard those names. She swore she'd never look back. But now Ed was forcing her to look her past in the face. She tried to stop him before he said the last name. But she came to late.

"Finnian."

Seiren covered her eyes, her jaw tight and fangs beginning to show. Her fangs hadn't grown to the potential size, but it still resembled that of a wolf's. Trying to blend in with the rest of her teeth. Ed looked at her again, causing Seiren to shrink under the intensity.

"Those are the people you had to move forward from, right?" Ed asked. "Who are they?"

Seiren's eyes widened as she wrapped her arms around herself. The pain hurt, and the rain wasn't helping any. The rain pelted her snow-like skin, freezing her in time. All that she was perceiving were those names. And what each one of them had meant to her. She opened her mouth to answer Ed's question. Despite the pain that she felt. She figured it would help ease their pain if they saw how much she was hurting.

"Edward Elric. The Fullmetal Alchemist."

Seiren's body had gone rigid, and her hand didn't grip anything. Her eyes widened as she threw her vision to the floor of the wet earth. She saw her bow lying empty at her feet.

That voice. That hatred in his words.

Seiren swooped down, retrieving her bow. She didn't move as fast as she had anticipated. Oh no… she thought. Her strength and speed had begun to deteriorate. Nevertheless, she snatched her bow and reached behind her to get an arrow. She swiftly turned around, arming her bow with her arrow.

"- SCAR -!" Seiren yelled, trying as quick as she could to get an aim at his throat.

"SEIREN!" Ed and Al shouted.

Before the warning could get to Seiren, Scar's hand flung out as if to hit her square in the face. Seiren didn't relent, and pulled back on her string to get the arrow to fly. When his hand reached her, all Seiren did was shout the most familiar words to slip out of her lips.

"Hit the mark!"

"All of those who get in my way shall perish," Scar said numbly and sparks flew.

As the crackling sparks flew, it reminded Seiren dully of her past. Instinctively, she shut her eyes tightly, her body going limp and showing no protest. As a last motion, she released her hold on the string, letting her arrow soar forward.

What her ears detected wasn't what she had anticipated. Lightning and the sickening sound of twisting and crunching of wood, metal, and stone reached her senses. The smell of blood littered the area and Seiren heard something falling to the floor.

When she found the courage to open her eyes again, she was shoved back by horror. All she could see was her left arm splattered in blood and her bow missing.

Seiren's bow was lying shattered at her feet.

BN: CLIFFHANGER! Bwhahhahahahahaha! :P Just kidding. But it was still a cliffhanger.

Whose blood was on Seiren's arm? Scar's? Or her own? Did she kill Scar? What is the meaning behind Finnian, Armenia, Leigh, and Benjamin? What did Seiren had to move forward from? Am I going to continue this story?

HELL YEAH! XD

Until Next Chap! =:D
