Chapter 13 - Arrival?? Friend or Foe??

'What the hell did Envy mean by that' Edward walked aimlessly though the village, the sun was bright and glared in his eyes but he kept walking.

Last night he had been the last to leave the cave but even after that he had laid wide awake in his little hut, pondering the one person in the whole damn village that confused the hell out of him. Edward was kind of glad he couldn't remember Envy, from what he had already found out about him was enough to last a life time but Edward knew there was so much more.

Some men pushed past Edward, one nearly knocking him over. He knew that Envy and Roy had stayed up as well all of last night looking for Kimblee and Dante. This morning Envy and Roy knocked on every door and the whole village was order to patrol the whole island looking for the two traitors.

They weren't having much luck though, Edward knew that Kimblee and Dante were long gone otherwise they would have definitely been found by now.

"There's a boat coming towards the island!!" A large muscled shadow shouted through the trees that bordered the island. He moved in long running strides, within seconds he flew past Edward, shouting those same words.

"WHAT!!" he heard the angry response "DON'T COME RUNNING TO ME DO SOMETHING." The long green haired teen stomped from the direction Armstrong had just ran to.

Edward silently followed Envy to the shore.

"If we don't act fast he will pull the first attack." A voice echoed in a large empty room.

"We need to outsmart him." Another voice relied.

"He has more than enough brains on his side, you know." the first voice commented. "He has the child genius with him and you and I both know he takes a lot more risks than anyone else."

"Yes but if the child tells them what he knows……… I don't even want to think of that."

"Well let's just get rid of the child."

"No! We need him."

--

The boat was a fare way from the shore but it was moving quite fast. Edward squinted at the boat, it looked familiar.

"Riza get ready to shoot it when it's within range." Envy muttered, he was taking no chances. Not very many people know about this island so he was guessing this boat belonged to Dante and Kimblee or maybe someone under them.

As soon as the boat hit the bored Riza raised her small hand gun, that she had attached to her belt at all times.

Edward gasped as the sun's rays bounced off the boat. "Wait!" he leapt in front of the pointed gun.

The boat hit the shallow waters and a drenched figure leapt out of it. Edward shot off in the direction of the person, he splashed through the water to the person.

Envy watched confused as Edward paddled through the water, when he stopped the water was above his small waist. He saw Edward punch the person that was slightly taller than him and then they were laughing.

As they walked to the island and the guy's features became clear, Envy's mouth dropped.

"Nii-san you had me really worried." Al pouted.

Edward smirked and ruffled his hair, "How did you find this island Al?"

Al chewed his bottom lip and staying silent. Envy walked towards them, he stared at Al and Al stared right back at him with intense anger.

"Edo you go ahead with the others back to the village." Envy stated in a stern voice.

Edward blinked and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Please Edo." Envy said, not turning his gaze away from the younger brother.

Al turned his gaze to Edward, a pleading look in his eyes. Edward sighed and walked straight ahead to meet up with Roy and the others.

Al watched them all go, then turned his gaze back to the psychotic man in front of him. "How much has Nii-san remembered?"

"Not very much, barely anything really but he's extremely smart we both now that." Envy dropped his gaze from Al's face. Envy took in all the detail of the young boy in front of him, he didn't look like the naïve child he knew from over a year ago. He had matured greatly and he looked so much older than his older brother.

"He's starting to figure it out already, I wouldn't be surprised if he knew what all these people on this island are to him." Envy stared at the ground.

"He's had a few memories come to him while he's been here, you know, and for a few minutes he become his old self again." Envy placed a hand his hip, digging his nails into his hip. Al's mouth dropped open but he stayed silent letting Envy release his pent up emotions.

"It's so frustrating, the one person I…………" he grinded his teeth and left the rest of what he was going to say hang in silence. They both stood still, as if they were frozen in time. Even their breathing was still, caught in their chests. Al knew very well how much his brother meant to the man standing before him, Envy would sacrifice anything for Edward. In the past Al may have been judging Envy a bit too harsh especially basing his judgment on farfetched rumors but now Al was completely different. Just from seeing how Envy looked at Edward, he could see the crazy happiness he brought Envy by his very presence on the island but also the note of sadness of not being remembered.

Al took a step closer to Envy and rested a reassuring hand on his shoulder. Envy looked at Al, a slightly shocked look appearing on his face.

Al smiled at Envy, unlike before he now supported Envy and how he cared about his brother so much.

"They will not get him" Al muttered, staring into Envy's eyes.

--

Edward kept his eyes locked on Envy and his brother, right until he had to go back through the line of trees blocking his vision of the two people.

Edward walked beside the big muscled man, he felt like a little kid next to him but he rather die than admit that to anyone.

"What now?" Armstrong asked aloud to no one in particular.

Riza, walking just in front of them, turned her head to the side and looked at them from the corner of her eye. "We are going out to sea tomorrow and search for them." She said in the tone of voice that told them it was the most obvious thing to do.

Edward blinked at her answer.

"All of us?" Havoc asked.

"No you idiot." She sighed. "Most likely Roy and Envy will go and take our crew with them." Then she turned completely around and stopped walking, looking right at Edward "and most likely you will be going too Edward." Edward's mouth dropped open and she added, "Whether you like it or not."
