Chapter 12 – His Old Self

(Current time with Edward)

Recap

A big rock gathering speed right above Edward. His eyes widened rolling back into his skull, he collapsed to the ground.

--

Envy rushed to Edward as soon as he started falling, a subtle look of fear in his eyes. Envy caught Edward before he hit the ground, he bent his head down close to Edward's mouth and smelled his breath.

He could smell the alcohol Edward had just drunk and something else mixed in. Envy looked up to the table and stared at Edward's glass.

"Let's call it a night guys!" Roy announced.

Kimblee and Dante where the first ones to leave, they walked at their usual pace so the others wouldn't suspect anything. The others however stayed, worried about Edward.

"Guys Edward's breath has a different smell." Envy said a bit of fear coming into his voice.

Roy and Hughes immediately inspected Edward's glass, out of the dribble left in the glass Hughes dipped his finger in it and tasted it.

His face scrunched up in disgust. "His drink has been spiked."

Horror struck everyone's face. Envy clutched Edward, his face quickly changed into a look of utter anger.

"Who touched his drink?" he asked in an eerie calm voice, however his mind already knew the answer.

--

"Kimblee you idiot" Dante screamed at him as the rushed through the bush. "They'll know for sure it was you"

They ran out through the village. "At least I did something" Kimblee sneered, Dante shot Kimblee a cold stare.

They ran straight through, leaping over small objects and shoving others out of their way leaving a clear path of destruction in their wake.

Some of the villages stirred at the ruckus but Dante and Kimblee didn't stop until they were at the shore, they had planned to go that night for a few hours when the entire village was asleep and no one would miss them but that went up in smoke.

They wouldn't be able to return to the island.

--

Envy looked all around the room and outside in the cave but Kimblee and Dante where nowhere to be found.

"When I get my hands on them!" Envy hissed clutching Edward close to his and resting his head on top of Edward's.

A groan escaped Edward's lips, almost immediately everyone turned their attention to Edward. He opened his eyes slowly, his vision blurred and his head throbbing.

Edward scrunched his eyes and groaned again placing his hand against his temple.

"Edo-chan…… you ok?" Roy asked concerned.

Edward glanced at the people in the room "I will be General."

Roy's mouth fell open "Envy." He whispered.

"What happened?" Edward unconsciously draped an arm round Envy's waist. "Where are we?" He looked up at Envy. "Envy………… Why are Riza, Havoc, Hughes and General here?" a bit of the old Edward, before he lost his memory, appeared in his voice.

Riza stepped closer to Edward and placed a hand on his shoulder "Ed…… what do you last remember?"

Edward snuggled closer into Envy "The military chasing Envy out of town………… OH MY GOD AL WAS TRAPPED…… ENVY YOU HAVE TO GO THEIR GONNA KILL YOU." Edward shot up out of Envy's arms only to stumble back down to the ground, a wave of dizziness coming over him at the sudden movement.

"Edo you have to calm down." Hughes said in a calm voice "Listen to us for a moment."

Edward took a deep breath and calmed himself, he stayed very still until the dizziness subsided. Envy crawled over to him and wrapped his arms around him.

"Why does it feel like I haven't seen you in ages Envy?" Edward sighed.

"Because it's been over a year since we have seen other love" Envy answered.

Edward shot up and looked Envy directly in the eyes.

"You forgot everything." Envy answered Edward's unspoken question. "Me, you, everyone here, the military. Absolutely everything we have been through."

Edward looked around at every single person in the cave again and each gave a small nod.

"You saved Al, Ed but for that you where nearly crushed. We heard you survived but at the cost of your memory. We also found out that the military was getting rid of Envy just so they could get to you." Hughes sat down next to Envy holding Edward.

"You know something about the military don't you Ed?" Riza asked, kneeling down to Edward's eye level.

Edward turned his gaze away from Riza.

"Edo." Envy smiled tilting his face up towards him, he cupped his hand under Edward's jaw and wrapped his other round Edward's slim waist pulling him as close as possible against his chest.

A blush rose to Edward's cheeks as Envy's face got closer to his own. Envy's forehead touched his, his hot breath sending shivers down his spine.

"What did you find out about the military?" Envy asked in a low seductive voice. Envy's lips practically brushed against his own when he spoke. Another wave of dizziness floated across Edward's mind and the next minute Envy's soft pink lips were on his. Kissing him with so much passion Edward almost got blown away.

Edward tensed for a second but soon relaxed into Envy, closing his eyes and letting Envy dominate him. He slowly closed his eyes and leaned forward into Envy's lips.

Envy moved away after a moment breathing in much needed oxygen. Edward opened his eyes, letting out a deep breath and drawing it back in. Clouds covered his vision again, he blinked a few times and shook his head trying to clear it but that was a bad idea.

He clutched his head, it throbbed. Envy looked at him in worry. Edward stiffened and blinked again. He looked at Envy, with a scared look of a child being separated from his mother.

"Edo…" Envy said carefully "What is it?"

Edward started screaming, as if he was in pain. Roy grabbed both of Edward's shoulders in attempt to keep him still.

"Edward calm down!" Roy said in a stern authority voice. Roy stared into Edward's eyes. They held the same emptiness as they had that afternoon and at the party before he had taken the drugs.

"Let go of me!" Edward said harshly.

Roy dropped his hands from Edward's shoulders a look of defeat on his face "His memory is gone again."

"What the hell is going on?" Havoc said in an annoyed tone, he punched the closest table, smashing the wood to splinters.

"It seems that whatever was in Edward's drink affected his memory as well" Hughes murmured.

Edward scrambled away from all of them, into a corner. "What did you do to me?"

"Ed it's us, we won't hurt you" Riza said gently.

Envy crawled slowly over to Edward "I swear to you Edo." He sat a meter away from Edward "I will protect you from them."
