Chapter 3 - Faces

Ed's POV

I walked down the street unknown faces looking up at me, smiling and said hello as if they knew me.

I only have a memory of the past year of my life, I am 17 and I try not to go out much because everyone in town knows me but I don't know them. They talk to me as if we're old friends, my younger brother Al tells me the whole town of Resenbol look after us and have done since our father left and mother died.

When I do go out I go out to sea. Al gets worried about me but I love going out on the ocean, there is no one there to harass me.

"Hey Ed" a tall guy walks up to me, he has short bright blonde hair almost like the sun. I heard from Al that he is younger than me but he's so much taller, at least a head or so. It pisses me off that I'm short, especially when people have to point it out.

"Hi" I reply back to him, I think if I remember what Al said correctly he has a younger brother that's around Al's age.

"It's Russel" he says reading my mind he grins at me.

"Yea" I say back and walk off. He follows me, I try to walk faster but his steps are bigger than mine. He grabs my shoulder and makes me turn to face him.

"Don't go out on the sea today" He says, a bit of worry in his voice. I look into his eyes, his eyes hold the same worry that was in his voice.

"Why?" I ask.

"Envy"

The name sent shivers down my spine, I don't really know why though. I have heard all the rumours about Envy, he scares me for sure but something confuses me, I can't really explain it. Its like it's locked up in my mind, everything inside screams at me that it's important but I can't seem to remember no matter how hard I try.

I have heard that he was stealing valuable information from the military, like private records, when he use to live here but the military found out and he was chased out of town. He's the highest on the military wanted list.

He had become wanted a year ago, right around the time I had lost my memory. For a few months nothing was known about Envy's whereabouts or his actions and plans, like he had just disappeared off the face of the earth. But about 4 months ago a ship had been reported attacked, there was 1 survivor. The survivor told everyone what happened and that it was Envy, the mad, deranged, homicidal, completely psychotic and sadistic palm tree looking sin.

The ship had been completely destroyed but not a trace of the destroyed ship was found. That was the beginning of it all, there have been so many more cases exactly like the first people are afraid to see anyone enter the waters. Everyone seemed to consider all the ocean was Envy's territory, which was ridiculous how could 1 person own the whole ocean?

"I have been out many times before and nothing has happened" I say to Russell a bit annoyed. I rip myself from his grip and walk off before he can talk again. The ocean is the only place I enjoy going, I don't feel I belong in town.

I walk down to the harbour, in between two big ships is my little boat. It has an engine at the back, then there's a little sheathed bit where the steering wheel is and the front half of the boat doesn't have anything besides seats round the edge, it's big enough to fit about 3 or 4 people.

I jump into the boat and threw the rope off the hook on the dock.

"ED" my brother and Russell yelled, I could just see them at the end of the dock. I wound up the anchor, each second they where getting closer.

"NII-SAN DON'T YOU DARE LEAVE THIS DOCK" Al tired to threaten "ENVY IS OUT AND THERE IS A BIG STORM COMING"

I didn't care al was probably joking about the storm anyway, he just didn't want me out when Envy was. I locked the anchor in place and quickly put the key in the ignition. The boat roared to life, I put the boat in gear and zoomed out of the harbour.

I saw the fear in Al's face as I left the dock "I'LL BE BACK SOON" I yelled to him.

I turned off the engine. I had heard that a sighting of dolphins had been spotted in this spot. There were no other boats that I could see.

"Maybe Al was right" I said to myself. I looked up at the sky, it was fairly cloudy and they where an off white. It certainly didn't look like a storm was on its way.

I walked to the front of my boat; I lifted up the seat and pressed a button which dropped the anchor. I pulled the cushions off the seats and put them on the empty area I laid down on them. I let my eyes drift close.

(Normal POV)

"What the fuck do you think you're doing you dumbass" A man with black hair and an eye patch over the right eye yelled in annoyance.

"I was moving this to the ship" another man answered confused, he was moving some items onto their ship.

The guy in the eye patched growled as his fellow ship mate.

"Mustang get your tight arse over here"

Mustang turned away from the guy and glared at the palm tree sin "What do ya want Envy?"

"Check out what I found" Envy told him in a proud voice with a smirk on his face. Envy stood in front of fairly big sized crate in his hands he held a pair of expensive tight leather pants.

"Clothes" Roy said in disbelief "You called me over for clothes" annoyance evident in his voice now.

Envy's smirk got wider "yea, these are soo last year" he pointed to what he was wearing.

"They look exactly the same" Roy's eye twitched.

Just as Envy was about to say something back to Roy, Havoc interrupted them "Roy, Envy a storm is pickin' up, we should get goin" a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.

"Ok" Envy jumped up, "Havoc help me carry this" he pointed to the crate. Havoc sighed every time Envy used those words 'help me' he actually meant 'take this to the ship for me'

Envy walked back to his ship, jumping over a few bodies in the progress "everyone on board" he looked round his own ship.

"No wait" a guy yelled running from the ship they were hooked too.

Envy smirked, his evil smirk. He lit a match and chucked it on the other ship. The guy that was still on that ship screamed in agony but Envy took no notice as he watched the ship go up in flames within a minute.

"Right lets go" he turned his back on the burning ship "we don't want to get stuck in this storm"

Instantly people started shuffling around the ship so they could get back to their island quicker. They weren't very far from their island but none of them wanted to be at sea when the storm hit.

Dark clouds rolled into the sky, making it harder for the crew to see what they were doing.

"Envy" Havoc called.

"What" he asked from where he stood at the steering wheel.

"There's a boat"

"And I would care because" he said annoyed.

"Because we will crash into it if you don't"

"Ooh" Envy laughed at himself, he turned the wheel a little bit but something caught his eye. Messy golden hair could just been seen. Envy's eyes widened.

"Roy, take the wheel" Envy leapt around to the edge of his ship, the ship grazed the side of the smaller boat. Envy jumped down into the boat.

His golden hair had come out of his usual braid covering his face. Water ran down his jaw from his hair. His body looked to be in an awkward position. One of his legs was bent at an unnatural angle, his upper body was twisted on its side and his back was bent backwards quite a bit.

Envy carefully got Ed unwound with his back straight on the floor of the boat. He lightly moved his hair away from his face.

The people on Envy's ship peered over the edge, curious to see what made Envy stop the ship.

Huges gasped "Edward"

Envy wrapped his arms under his arms and his knees. Carefully he lifted Ed off the floor. Ed's head fell back as he was lifted, Envy moved his arm so Ed's head was supported.

Huges leaned forward as far as he could and grabbed Ed as Envy lifted him up. He hooked one arm under Ed's arm, just as moved to wrap his other arm under Ed's automail arm Armstrong appeared by his side.

Together they lifted Ed over the side.
