Ed had been running for at least half an hour now and he was ready to collapse.
"Where is he?" Ed asked himself, "Where are you?" Ed screamed at the sky, falling to his knees.
Ed gasped.
"I'm sorry Al..." he whispered.
Fin crept into the cave. Lust was sat in the far left corner scraping the wall. He saw the small pile of metal next to a group of rocks near him. All he needed to do was creep in, grab the armour and sprint out again.
(It can't be that hard,) Fin thought to himself, (I'm helping her. She doesn't want to do this.)
Fin kept this in mind as he edged into the cave. He could now here Lust's muffled sobbing. He was a fingertip away from the pieces now. Lust turned round at the wrong time and saw Fin.
"What are you doing?" Lust questioned, rubbing the tears from underneath her eyes.
Fin took his hand away and ran to Lust. He wrapped his arms round her.
"Don't worry Lust. I won't let anyone hurt you! You don't have to do this."
Lust, confused, hugged the boy back. They both stayed this way for several minutes.
"You don't have to. I'll give the boy back his brother and they can go and carry on there quest. Please let me do this for you."
Lust gazed down at the boys big pleading eyes.
"Fin," she started gripping the boy tighter, "Run to Edward Elric and return his brother too him." she said as tears began to roll down her cheeks.
Fin smiled delicately and let go.
"Goodbye, Lust." Fin said as he hoped out of the cave and back towards Ferne.
Lust smiled to herself and let Fin go.
"Edward!" Fin yelled across the dessert, "Edward! Edward! I've got the pieces of your brother!"
Fin was desperately trying to find him in the dessert.
"Edward! Please! I've come to give you them back!"
He reached the top of a dune and looked down over the dessert. He noticed a red blur on the ground below him.
"Oh no!" he realised, "It's Edward!"
