Who Needs a Brother Like You?

Chapter Five – When the Truth and Lies Kill

Edward had explained everything to Venllie. He told her about losing his arm and leg due to a failed transmutation of their mother and Alphonse losing his entire body. He told her how he wasn't able to save one poor girl from her evil father and how he had become the youngest dog of the Amestris military. And strange enough, the girl had listened to every word that came from his mouth.

"You've been through a lot Ed…I'm sorry you've had to deal with all that." She said looking up at him. He wasn't smiling happily at her. It was more like a smile of understanding between the two. "What about you Ven? You can read me like a book now…but I still can't figure you out. Where did you come from?" he asked. She smirked and hid her face from him, "It's hard to say Ed…" she said "I don't even know where to begin."

Well, it all started up in the North. I just woke up in a cold place and it was raining. I was a girl in a dark and scary forest with no one at my side. Or so I thought. It looked like something out of a fairytale really. But I knew that it wasn't a happy one. I saw…two people lying beside me covered in blood and guts, stomach cut open and all. They were my parents…I only knew that much. They were making these strange noises. Like they were evil animals and were going to rip me into shreds. I got scared…real scared and ran away.

When I was sure that I was away from them I met a guy with long green hair and a terrible attitude. I don't remember his name that well. But anyway he brought me here and ran off and that's when I met you.

Edward flinched, trying to take in everything he had just heard. "Your parents…do you know what happened to them?"

She shook her head. I think that I have amnesia…I can't remember anything before the forest. Cringing in fear she leaned up against the Alchemist and closed her eyes. Edward, surprised looked at her but then became distracted by his thoughts. "Terrible attitude…long green…hair...that has to be Envy!"

Envy along with everyone else that was supposedly against Edward glared down at him. "Tell us!" Mustang snapped, "Where is the Fullmetal Alchemist! If you don't tell me I'll burn you to a crisp!" he raised his stressed hand in the air. Envy didn't dare show a sign of weakness to him. "I did it…" a mutter escaped him. At first the others didn't understand what he was talking about. But then Envy spoke louder with his sharp teeth showing. He suddenly transformed into Alphonse and with all the air inside him yelled the harsh words that Edward had heard earlier that day.

"The truth is I hate Brother because of what he did to me! Because of Brother our lives have been ruined! He made me get stuck in this metal body! I can't sleep! I can't eat my own cooking! I can feel or smell! And it's all his fault!"

At that very moment all of the sanity Alphonse had left inside him exploded. He charged at Envy and grabbed him by then front of his shirt and began pounding him in the face nonstop. Mustang gasped and grabbed him back before he could punch him anymore. "Let go of me! He'll pay for this! I'll kill him!" Alphonse screamed.

"Al please stop!"

He looked back at a sobbing Winry. "Please stop...it's not worth it." Falling to her knees she covered her face to hide her tears.

"You should have seen the poor bastard's face! He was in tears! Oh and the note! Hehahahaha! I followed him all the way back to where you two live and watched him write it. He could barely hold the pen in his damn hands!"

Alphonse didn't respond. He just didn't know what to do anymore. Winry didn't want him to fight...but just look at what he had done to his brother. He practically killed him. Shot him into the chest and right through the heart with his lies.

Suddenly, without warning Envy managed to break free and crashed through the window. Mustang cursed under his breath and aimed for the shattering glass. But it was too late. When he had leaned over to look outside the homunculus was gone. The room was dead silent until Mustang shot around and looked at Hawkeye, "Lieutenant! This is an order...go find Armstrong and the others...we're leaving..." Hawkeye saluted almost immediately.

Winry and Alphonse watched the man tighten his fists; his face was blood red and it had been cut from the glass from the window. He wiped away the blood with his sleeve and headed toward the door. "We're going to find Fullmetal and the Homunculi!"

Envy dashed down the road laughing hysterically. "Oh what a show! Why didn't I do that sooner! Now who's calling the shots Lust?" he leaped into the air and landed on a rooftop once more. The sun still hadn't come up yet. So that meant that people wouldn't be able to see him easily.

"Envy..."

He stopped but didn't bother to turn around. He knew that he would find Lust and her little monkey boy if he did. "What did you do?" she asked. It wasn't a gently question but it wasn't harsh either. She had her arms to her sides and was looking at him crossly. Gluttony was hiding behind her like a coward. He was afraid that Envy would jump on him for telling on him.

"Oh nothing~! I made a few changes to my plan." Joyfully he went on "But I'm sure it wouldn't hurt anything." Frustrated she began walking up to him "You told them didn't you? You attacked them and then you told them everything. You played weakling and then when you decided that the second round of your game was over you ran off."

Envy finally decided that it was time to turn around so he did "How'd you know...did your little pet tell you?"

"Whatever...if we fail Master Dante is only going to be mad at you...did that ever strike your mind?"

"Who cares about that bi-...!" suddenly Envy heard two people talking below. He looked down and not only did he see the pipsqueak but the girl as well. "Well what do we have here...they came to us...looks like it's time for part three of my plan." He looked at Lust. The fight between the two was over for now. They had more important matters to worry about now...and that was pulling Edward Elric into their hands.
