For Roy, it had all happened so quickly. He wanted to set them all aflame at that moment, but that would mean he would have been setting fire to Ed as well. He felt so useless. He didn't even get a chance to talk to the homunculi. It all happened too quickly. Once they took Ed, Roy nearly collapsed.
"Ed..." He said to himself, looking at the spot where Ed was standing just moments ago.
'You... you IDIOT! You could have saved him, you could have stopped those assholes from getting him, and what did you do? You just stood there, frozen! Yet you say you care about him?!' He thought to himself.
"Ed... Just hang on... Were coming for you." Roy said to himself, a tear crawling slowly from his eye, but he quickly whipped it away before standing up and facing Al.
"Al.. I think our little friend over there may be able to help us... unfortunately..." He said, looking at the mound which held Scar.
"Don't worry Al, We will get Ed back, I can promise you that." he said, still staring at the stone box.
Al frantically tried to recover from the shock that struck him like a ton of bricks. He looked at the box and sighed lowly.
"He might not know who those guys were... They have a tendency to watch us.. So I think they took the distraction as a sign to take Ed." Al replied, his voice shaky. He was starting to worry about his brother, remembering that the older Elric was bleeding, and the fresh blood was still on the ground where Ed was standing a few minutes ago. Al looked at Roy, feeling helpless enough to have his shoulders sag a little. He didn't think that this would happen. Something felt off, like this was part of a plan that the homunculi had for them.
"That is true..." he said, looking at the blood on the floor. Then he noticed. Every ten, fifteen feet along there was another patch of blood - after all they didn't just disappear into thin air.
"Al... I think I may know where Ed is... the blood on the floor, there's some more up there. If we don't get far then we go and ask Scar. We're going to have to take the risk in order to get Ed back, Al. I will stop at nothing to get him back to us safe and sound... and if one of those... idiots," Roy said, as he didn't like swearing in front of Al,
"...dare hurts your brother, I'll make sure they'll be punished for it..." Roy said, having to look away from Al, tears still coming from his eyes.
Al slightly nodded. "We need to follow the blood trail or all is lost.." He said softly. He didn't like the thought of Ed being in the hands of the homunculi, but he knew that they needed to think of a plan to get him back. The only question was, how will they get him back, if the blood trail disappears? Al took another look at the box then felt a shock go through the ground.
"He escaped!" Al said, dropping the metal and stone barrier to find a gaping hole in the ground.
Roy looked over at the box and sighed. "There will be plenty of time to get him... looks like we're going to have to just hope it doesn't rain..." Roy said, following the blood on the ground already.
"C'mon Alphonse, let's go get your brother back... and quickly - I really don't want him to be hurt because those idiots are most probably going to do something to him..." He said, his mind-set on only finding Ed. He didn't want to risk Al's life either, but he knew he would have to have backup with him... He just hoped Ed was alright.
Ed's eyes slowly opened. He was a small caged part of a room, and cuffed. Ed slowly sat up and looked around the room. Envy walked over and knelt down near Ed, "Oh look, pipsqueak has finally woken up. Heheh." Envy grinned. Through the bars he smacked Ed, and Ed lowly growled and bit Envy's hand.
"Ouch! Lust he bit me! Let me beat some sense into him." Envy growled.
"Do whatever you want with him, just don't kill him. We still need him, remember." Lust said and looked out the window. She was uninterested in what Envy wanted to do with Edward. Pride had gone back to the main hideout and waited with Gluttony. Envy grinned again and slightly unlocked the caged door and went into it, locking it behind him.
"So, twerp, you will regret biting me.." He said and grinned evilly. All Ed could do was growl at Envy. Envy kicked at Ed's stomach, making him double over slightly gasping for air. Envy took that chance and kept kicking Ed, hard enough to have Ed coughing up blood. Ed wheezed sightly, and Envy pulled out a small vial. Envy pulled at Ed's arm and flicked at a vain, and put the syringe into the vain and released the contents into his blood stream. He pulled the vile out and grinned.
"That is ecstasy, it will make your body aroused. And if you don't do anything about it, you can die. It will last for about two hours." He smiled and left the caged part and locking the door, leaving the keys on the small table.
"Come on Lust, let's go before his friends find us." He said and left with Lust behind him.
"He has to be nearby... It's as if they splattered the blood everywhere to make us confused." Roy said, looking at the floor. It was still dark and hard to see the blood on the ground, and the worse part is that it was getting darker still as hey were not even past midnight yet. Al was looking too, desperate to find his brother, but it too was dark for even him to see.
"Meoooww." A noise came from a dark alleyway, a small tabby cat was licking the ground. Al looked at the cat instantly, as he loved animals, and felt sorry for it being all alone outside at night, just how his brother may have felt. He watched it lick the liquid off the ground and noticed it had a red color to it. He knew what it was.
"Colonel, I think I know where brother is!" he exclaimed, walking over to the cat, because the cat wasn't use to being in contact with humans, so it ran away almost instantly, but the blood went all the way down the ally to a house at the very bottom... well it was more like a shed or a garage than a house. With that, Roy ran over to the boy and smiled as he saw the blood stain on the floor leading to the house - Hopefully he would find Ed in not that bad a condition.
"Good job Al." He smiled, running to the door and bursting it open. He was slightly horrified at the view he got.
"Al... stay out here... I don't want you to see this..." He said, looking at Edward in the cage.
"But colonel -" Alphonse tried to argue. "Please Al... He's alright I just don't want you to see him like this..." He said, walking into the building and closing the door behind him. He walked over to the cage and looked around for a key, but had no luck.
"Hold on Ed.. I'll get you out of there..." Roy whispered, looking around once more. Then something silver caught his eye - a pair of garden scissors. He walked over to them and grabbed them, then walked back to the padlock. Within seconds he broke away the lock, smiling as he opened the door because he was so happy to see Ed again.
"Ed... are you alright... did they do anything to you?" He said, his smile fading as he became more serious, realizing that there really may be something wrong with Ed.
Ed was panting, eyes closed, and his skin overly sensitive to even the slightest strand of hair that brushed across his skin.
"E-Envy...Gave me ecstasy.. I-if it's not taken care of... I-I can die..." Ed said between pants, he was slightly curled up to hide his aroused member. He was shivering from how good the cold flooring felt on his cheek.
"R-roy... I-I can't hold out much longer.. Time is almost up.." He said lowly, he was scared. He didn't know what to do, and he was cuffed so he couldn't do anything at all. He was helpless in the power of the drug.
Roys' eyes widened slightly. How...how could they...He was horrified by what they had done to him.
"Ed... I'll help you." Roy said. He didn't want to help, it just made him in his mind feel more perverted than having a crush on the 17-year-old, let alone having to do this at this time... but he would do it if it were to save his life.
"If it will save you Ed... I'll help." He said, a worried look on his face as he moved closer to Ed.
"Please.. let me help you Edward..." he asked, scared that Ed's life was in his hands.
Ed nodded slowly, his eyes close. He knew that this drug had enhanced his sensitivity and has boosted his sex drive. He wanted to get rid of this feeling so that he could feel normal again. Ed slightly strained against the cuffs but it only ended up having him moan lowly when the cold metal rubbed against his wrists.
"P-please Roy.. Help..." Ed whimpered, and he realized that, that was the first time that he has ever used the word 'please' and 'help' in the same sentence. But he really didn't care much for this drug was making him feel funny and he wasn't use to it at all. It was starting to get colder in the little house and little puffs of steam came from Ed's mouth as he panted.
