A/N : I'm so glad so many people reviewed! I'm so happy! Now... back to the story, don't wanna bore your guys with my endless blabber. .

The world shifted. . .And they were gone. . . I swear. . . I'll get them back for that. . .

Cruelty blinked, her eyes still glued to this male's weird way of dressing.

A top that shows his stomach and a skirt? What, is he transsexual? Her mouth dropped open as soon as she saw the room, it was completely sealed, with one door and a few weird looking animals chained up on the floor.

" Never mind my other question. . . Where am I?" She asked again, her throat feeling raw.

" You are. . . Hmm. . . A guest. Here. . . " He smirked and sat back onto the chair behind him.

" Guest? The last thing I remember was when I was with the Elric brothers. . ." She mumbled as she tried to sit up.

She stopped because she felt a sharp pain near her ribs. She slowly placed a hand there, pressing around to find where exactly did the skin break.

" The Elric brothers...So you know them?" He questioned her, glancing at her.

" Gah..." She groaned as her fingers pressed down on the wound.

" Hello? Answer me!" He raised his voice.

" Huh? Oh sorry... Yeah. They don't seem to know me though." She was trying not to reveal anything important to this strange person. . . Even if he did make her feel. . . At home. . .

" Fair enough." He crossed his legs and placed an elbow in his knee, resting his head on his hand.

" Tell me, where am I?" She tried again.

" In the basement." His violet eyes closed.

As soon as her fingers left the wound, the skin stopped hurting. Her side was. . . healed?

" What?!" She yelled in shock.

"Heh. Looks like you are one of us." His eyes opened and he smirked.

Cruelty's P.O.V.

" One of. . . you?" I asked, my voice filled with confusion.

"Yeah. " He laughed. " So who are you? Who created you? Was it Father?"

"I don't know." I blinked again.

" What do you mean you don't know? Will I have to force it out of you, or will you just talk?" His smirk came back, this time, with an evil hint to it.

" I really don't know." I stated with no emotion.

" I guess forcing it out is what I'll have to do. . . Since I'm in charge of you right now. . . " His arm transformed into a blade.

I wasn't sure about what I felt. . . Was it horror? No. . . Sadness? Anger? Confusion? Yeah, definitely confusion. He just said I was one of 'them', and now he's proceeding to kill me. . . Wow. . . His kind must have issues. . .

I continued to just stare at him. I wasn't afraid. I was. . . Emotionless. . . For the moment.

"What are you going to do? Just sit there and let me kill you over and over again until your philosopher's stone is all used up?"

" No. It's not like I have any ability. Not even able to change form like you can." I shrugged, stretching my arms above my head.

He growled, lunging forward. My eyes started hurting, along with my head. . . I wasn't sure why. Then, at the same moment, I starting to think about Edward and Alphonse. I didn't know why. . . It wasn't clear to me why I didn't feel the blade slicing through my skin until I looked up and saw the violet eyed male. He was frozen.

I gaped at the sight. His arm was raised and his eyes were full of hatred. But. . . He wasn't moving. I became scared. Did I kill him? Why was he like that? Is he frozen?

It wasn't clear to me why he was like that until I saw him. . . In my head.

A/N : Wow, this is short. . . So sorry, I had some inactivity going on. . . But yeah. I finished a chapter, and I'll try to post one soon. Again, SORRY!
