30: Who am I? Or what am I?

I don't own FMA and it belongs to its rightful owners anything else belongs to AENR13. And I'm so sorry for not updating in forever! I've been ridiculously so busy! Anyways well I hope this is actually worth the wait! I'm proud (and sad) to say that Between the Illusions and Flames is slowly drawing its end! I know I have so many things I want to do but I can't drag this out anymore so it doesn't lose it's greatness! So leave your reviews if you please!

3rd person

They all go to a place that's under ground and as they all go to the room, Laura glances around noticing that the city's completely abandoned... Something's completely wrong here...

She's brought to a halt as the Homunculi dispense showing a woman standing in the center of the room. She glides over to Laura smirking,

"So this is the legendary Laura Fang, it's truly an honor." she says in such a sarcastic tone. Laura doesn't say anything but then the woman curls herself around Laura's face and shoulders looking over to Leo. "Wouldn't she be such a lovely body to take over Leo? Maybe now you can't say I don't look attractive to you." She's about to lick Laura's check to get on Leo's nerves when he narrows his eyes, they turn to an icy blue as his Alchemy's kicking in.

"Don't you dare Dante..." he snarls as ice separates them. Leo's ice shatters as soon as Dante falls back, "Don't try anything Dante, remember I have one thing that's superior than you in your Alchemy." Leo warns as he wraps an arm around Laura's shoulders. She looks uncomfortable because hello! It's her enemies that are fighting over her in a way. Anyways the Homunculi Envy clenches his jaw then attacks Leo, he simply sighs as he freezes Envy dead in his tracks. Envy scrims around trying to free himself when Leo walks over to him. "Don't even bother Envy, you know that I'll win. Now Dante what did you wanted Laura here for?" Leo demands because he knows Dante's dark intentions. She smirks

"Now Leo, should that really concern you?" she taunts as she slowly moves her way over to her, Leo snaps so he's about to send another attack when Lust's fingers slice through him locking him in place. Dante throws her head towards Laura's direction then at that moment, something anchors itself around Laura making her to grunt trying to free herself from the mysterious thing. The blue thick looking object morphs as Sloth has herself anchored around her frame, Dante goes over to luara grabbing her by the chin, Laura's about to kick out when Sloth grows taller lifting her feet off of the ground, "Leo, do you really not see the resemblance of Laura and Adeline? I mean take a good look at her..." Dante forces Laura to look straight at him, his eyes grow wide as he realizes what Dante's talking about. "That's right Leo, Adeline and Laura are either related or maybe; one and the same." Laura then yells out

"What are you talking about?! I am me! Nobody else!" Dante starts laughing,

"Are you really sure about that? Leo, what happened when you tried to bring back Adeline from the dead? You told me that the Transmutation failed so isn't there a possibility that she is Adeline's Homunculi? Think about Leo," Dante's voice slithers into their minds but more to Laura. Even though Dante can't really use Illusion Alchemy like them, she at least knows something... And she plans to use it for her advantage...

Inside of the Illusion

Laura's taken to some other place that looks dangerous and scary at the same time.

"That's what you think. You think you have the upper hand but in all reality you don't. Laura," Dante's voice booms like a thunderclap in the ever darkening sky.

"Where the hell are you?! Fight me!" Laura demands but then the ground starts shaking as Dante chuckles.

"Now don't do such a foolish thing... After all you did help me use Leo's despair in his darkest of moments to help me..." she states as Laura tries getting out of the way as the ground rips open. She lands onto her butt and she starts crawling away, these black ghostly hands scream as they start clawing their way out of the ground.

"What the hell are you talking about?!" Laura demands as she hastily gets up on her feet as the hands start ripping through the air towards her. She starts running trying to out beat them when Dante's voice speaks again.

"Of course you did. After all you are his precious sin after all." Dante states as Laura's thrown against the floor, the hands jump onto her and start coiling around her. She starts fighting against them for dear life as the hands start dragging her back to the wound in the ground they came from.

"What the hell?! Stop hiding and show yourself already Dante!" Laura demands and she appears in front of the hole. Torn in half, Laura's unsure of what to do. She knows she has to fight her way out of the Illusion before paranoia and hysteria kick in making the Illusion to become more threatening, but if she does free herself from the hands, then Dante's going have to resort to much more terrifying Illusions. And those can actually kill people in an instant.

"After all you are his Homunculi. Why do you think you can't use Elemental Alchemy?" Laura feels something snap in her head and I drop to the making the hands to clamp even harder on her. The hands turn red as literally shards of Philosopher Stones start being squeezed out of her. "What's going on?!" Laura's eyes dart back up to where Dante is and the woman Adeline's there. Laura screams as they identically look alike.

"It's time to wake up Adeline." Dante directs towards Laura but she's blocked out as a screaming noise screams into Laura's head. She starts shaking her head and start screaming out trying to cling onto her sanity,

"NO! THIS ISN'T REAL!" she groans as the noise gets worst and her memories flash rapidly before the whole place.

"Who do you think started Illusion Alchemy Adeline?" she asks as her voice booms into her head making it to pound at each syllable.

"SHUT UP!" she pleads and then her memories become into the negative scheme then slowly turn into numbers

"Mustang and you never met. Those so called memories of yours about him are all fake... It's time to wake up Adeline Storms." That's when Laura manages to break the hands free from her, she rises to her feet as she slumps over. She starts panting as the rain pours down hard on her.

"That's where you're wrong... My feelings for Roy Mustang, my memories are real!'' she yells out making Dante to laugh

"You're so damn confident in yourself. And why do you trust a man completely blind? More with a man like him?" Laura manages to stand up straight and then her eyes dart around.

"Because Roy's a man of his word, he isn't perfect but we're all human, even you Dante..." that's when the Illusion starts breaking apart...

Sloth lets go of Laura as she's actually being burned by her. There's a loud "THUMP!"as Laura hits the floor out cold. Dante topples over with her eye bleeding. She growls and glares at Leo,

"What the hell?! I thought Illusion Alchemy doesn't have any damn side affects!" Leo starts laughing as Lust keeps him in place.

"The price of Illusion Alchemy is your body. The more you use it, the faster you die."
