That night, I unexplainably became human. I looked like my old self. Tall, pale, and short blonde hair. Only my eyes weren't blue, they were red. I had sharp teeth, and wore orange and white striped pants, knee-high black boots, and a black hooded sweat-shirt. I had to give Demon credit for fashion-sense.
Just then, I smelled six men. Drunkards, but military men, just what I wanted. And, judging from the stars on their shoulders, they were highly-ranked. I slunk in front of them. "Hey there, little girl, shouldn't you be at home?" asked one, who didn't smell drunk at all.
"Where's home?" I asked sweetly, casually flicking my wrist. The knife sank deep into his chest. It took them ten seconds to realize I'd just killed their friend, but it sank in. And when it did, I let them draw their guns and shoot. I avoided every bullet as I ducked around a corner. "It's not nice to shoot a little kid!" I laughed as they ran out of ammo. I ran at them, sinking two more knives into them.
"That was pretty serious. Six officers, all of them stabbed to death. And supposedly by a little girl." Al said.
"Yeah, and the witness says that the girl spoke to one of them, then a knife was in his chest. Afterwards, the other five opened fire, but the girl dodged every bullet. And as they ran out of ammo, she killed the rest." Mustang explained. "And when they were all dead, she went through their pockets and apparently took all the money." He stopped walking and gazed down a street at a young girl in front of a bakery.
"Mustang?" Ed asked.
"That girl. She matches the description perfectly." Mustang growled, striding towards her.
"Oh, am I in your way?" she asked. "If I am, I'll move!"
"That's okay! What's your name?" Mustang said.
"Kitty. Oh, I wish I had enough!" she said, pressing her face up against the window.
"What're you doing out all alone at night?" Al asked.
"My mommy and daddy are fighting. I thought I should get out of their way."
"If you must know, there are a couple of murderers running around. You shouldn't be all alone like this and this late." Mustang told her.
"Oh, I'm not scared! I'm a fast runner, and I can climb pretty well too!" she said cheerfully. Her eyes narrowed as she saw Mustang's shoulder stars and watch-chain. "You're a State Alchemist?" she asked suspiciously.
"Yes, I am." Mustang said, right before jumping back. The girl had a large knife.
"It's my mission to kill everyone in Central. No two-bit Alchemist is getting in my way!" she shouted, slashing wildly at him.
I found I had an irresistible urge for sweets. I had been standing outside a near-by bakery when the colonel approached me. After realizing his stature and that he was a State Alchemist, I pulled my knife out. It was a bad idea.
He snapped, and flames leapt forth at me. I narrowly avoided the fire-ball, jumping onto the side of the building. "Where'd she go? I'm sure I got her!" the man snarled.
"This is insane! A little kid just killed six military officers?" growled the little boy with him. I inched along until I was above him. "She shouldn't have escaped! She's so young!"
I took offense at that. I was eleven, perfectly capable of taking care of myself. I carved a circle into the brick wall of the bakery and activated it. The kid avoided my stone shards by a hair. "For your information, I can take care of myself, and every military person in this city!" I yelled, jumping onto his back. He thrashed wildly, so I wasn't able to stab him.
"Gotcha!" the military man shouted triumphantly, yanking me off the boy's back.
I quickly used my back-up plan. I bit my tongue with my sharp teeth to induce the tears and started to whimper and cry. It made them all flinch a little, but the man didn't let go. "Excuse me, but that's my daughter you have there mister!"
I knew it was only Demon, but I played along. "Daddy!" I squealed, tugging against the man's grip. He hesitated, then let go. "Daddy!" I squealed again, hugging Demon.
"Oh, Kitty, you didn't cut people again, did you? I told you to stay in your room, didn't I? I said to stay in your room and not go cut people." Demon said sorrowfully. He picked me up, turning to the people. "You must excuse my daughter. Her mother and I fought a long time back, and her mother ran out. The next morning, she was found cut to ribbons, literally. Ever since then, Kitty's been crazy."
"Did you and Mommy stop fighting? Mommy can sing to me now, right?" I asked sleepily.
"Not tonight." Demon said softly, carrying me away.
"How did I do, Demon?" I asked softly.
"Perfect. Just do it for the entire city now. Cleanse it of this human scourge."
"Yes, master." I grinned.
