Who Needs a Brother Like You?
Chapter Eight – Betrayed by a Homunculus
"Edward Elric. Edward Elric. Ed-ward El-ric!" instantly a horrible pain shot through Edward's stomach and chest. His eyes were forced open and the first thing he saw was the even horrible face of Envy. "Glad to see you could join us pipsqueak." He laughed.
Edward was still dazed and didn't completely know what was going on. He was cold and sore and it felt like he was about to die once more. "W-where...is this place?" he asked sluggishly. Envy laughed even louder and gripped Edward's golden hair raising his head near his own "Ah, you don't remember? We'll let me help you out pipsqueak. You're back in Central!"
"Envy put him down. You need to remember that we need him alive." immediately Envy's face twisted into rage and he let Edward's head fall. He saw Lust appear in the corner of his eye along with Gluttony. "Welcome Fullmetal Alchemist, to an abandoned warehouse in Central. You're probably wondering why you're here correct?" Lust crossed her arms and smirked.
"Where is she? Where...is...Venllie?!" he screamed. Lust's smirked evolved into a grim smile. And without turning around she stepped to the side and made way for a newcomer. At first Edward could only stare. But then he felt tears in his eyes and rage entered in his heart.
"Hello, Crybaby."
"Venllie...why?"
"My name isn't Venllie and or Ven, Edward. It's Evillie. You know like Evil and lie?" she laughed a little and slowly approached him even more. As she flipped her hair he noticed the Ouroboros tattoo on the side of her neck. "You really are one of them aren't you?" he snapped.
"Heh...of course...and yet thanks to you being depressed about everyone hating you...I was able to lore you straight to us...the Ouroboros Organization!"
Edward remained strong and grinned too "So what's your special power? You know since everyone else's suck!"
"Ooh, tough boy. I'll be sure to remember that while I'm kicking your ah-!" Envy shouted from the back but Lust shot a death stare at him before he could finish making him quiet down.
"Well if you must know, I'm a very special homunculus. I have three abilities. I can make people hallucinate. Of course you've already seen what that can do." She smiled.
Edward gasped, "So then you were the girl! You made all those people vanish that morning!"
"Ah yes, I was also using my second ability. To change my age...I can grow old...young...you name it. You see you were going through one of my illusions. Oh and my last power...heh...hahahahahaha! Well, let me show you now!"
Suddenly, Evillie strolled towards him with her hand held out. Edward panicked as he tried to escape but his arms were chained apart and up against the wall. Before he could even shout for help it was too late. Her hand was already on his forehead. "No! No! N-!"
"Mind Break!"
The sound of glass shattering filled the air. The other homunculi remained quiet. This was their first time they had ever heard of a third power called Mind Break. She stepped back and looked at his face. His eyes were lifeless. Edward looked like a broken doll but it strange because he was still able to respond. "Who is your childhood friend?" Evillie asked.
Edward slowly looked up at the girl; his mouth slightly open. And what came from his mouth shocked them all "I...don't know."
"What is the name of your home town?"
"I...don't know."
"What is the name of your Childhood friend's grandmother?"
"I can't remember..."
Lust, Gluttony, and Envy both went into deep shock. Edward had forgotten some of the most important things about his life. "What is your brother's name?" Envy asked running up closer. Edward didn't respond. At first Envy was about to burst into tears with laughter. "I told you. I made him forget everything about Resembool!" Evillie joined in on the laughter, but Edward's mouth suddenly moved.
"Al. Alphonse Elric."
Evillie growled and spit on the ground with disgust in her eyes "Whatever! I'll let him hang onto that pathetic name...for now."
~ North of Central the Clarkerston Residence ~
Colonel Roy Mustang and Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye both stood on the old porch of the house in silence. Small footsteps could be heard coming from the back of the house and the sound of a dog yelping was coming from the front.
"Quite down Rugen quiet now, boy quiet!" the door slowly swung open and a medium sized dog that was the color brown charged at the Colonel. He smiled a little and leaned down petting it on its head. It looked like it was a Boxer mixed with another breed. Just as the Colonel got caught away with petting the dog named Rugen Hawkeye tensed and tapped the his shoulder causing him to look up. In front of them was a small woman with gray hair and small circular glasses. The expression on her face looked alarming but then it turned into a soft smile. She was wearing a purple apian and a black dress under that.
"Good evening…" she said "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Mustang gulped a little not knowing what to say but then he decided it was best to let Hawkeye handle the introductions. "Hello, we are with the Amestris military. I am Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye and beside me is Colonel Roy Mustang whom is also known as the Flame Alchemist. We heard that we can get more information on your deceased granddaughter."
The woman gasped and backed away, "No…I can't tell you anything! I'm sorry!"
Before she could slam the door Mustang stopped stroking the dog and caught it with his elbow. He felt the pain shoot through it and up to his head but ignored it. "Ma`am! You have to understand! If you don't give us any information on your granddaughter then an innocent person's life will end."
The woman froze, letting the door fall back. "Please you must understand…the Fullmetal Alchemist is with Venllie Clarkerston!"
