Okay guys I'm back with a new chapter! I'll try to shorten the Authors Note but anyways the song 'Why Can't I by Liz Phair' and the beginning and most of the song reminds me of the EdKai and then I found Kaiden's own theme song called 'Just the Way I Am by Skye Sweetnam' and if you consider yourself strange but proud of it I suggest you listen to it! It's awesome! Well I don't own FMA just my OC's so yeah...onto the story-NU I JUST SPILT TEA ALL OVER ME!
Previously on Vampiric Love
"I think I just found out the mystery behind this key." I furrowed my eyebrows and unscrunched my nose because the spark was gone with the scent. But what in the hell could kamas mean? "look" he showed me the key and randomly started saying all our names while pointing the the letters. "Kaiden, Arden, Melonie, Amy, Shade...your last name is Shade right?" I nodded. But why would this key have our names on it. One mystery leads to another. Visit the house. Hm.
"I think it's time to take a trip down memory lane."
He looked at me confused and then understood what I meant.
"But where do you live because we still have to stop by East City and pay the Colonel a visit for a new mission and-" I held up my hand to cut him off.
"Why do you think my parents are buried here? This is my hometown dummy." he muttered an 'oh'.
"Hey wait a minute I'm not a dummy." I started laughing. I guess I'm opening up to him more now because I know there is no way in hell I would laugh like this in front of Mustang. I patted his head like a dog.
"Its okay Eddy-boy lets just go. Hey is Alphonse coming with us." His anger started radiating off him again. Stupid scent. You know you want it! Oh shut it! Then he calmed down and shuffled his feet nervously
"You know Kaiden, you don't have to say our entire names you could call us Ed and Al." Shit. I knew it! I got to close to them! I smiled though. It was nice to have friends again. I nodded. He smiled. Now that I think about it before when we didn't know each other as well it didn't look like Ed usually opened up to anyone except Al.
"Okay. So is Al coming or not?" I asked again. He seemed to start thinking. His eyebrows furrowed a lot. I had never seen someone furrow their brows that much. "Uh Ed?"
"You said you visited your parents' graves right? I nodded. "What about Melonie's?" I gasped. Hold on shouldn't she have been before them? I entered by the last names starting from Z first. I ran out the door and by the sound of Ed's mismatched footsteps and Al's clanking ones they were following me. I stopped when we came across the grave.
"Let's go." They nodded. I walked and walked until we got to the S's and my heart was pounding so hard I could practically hear it. Then I stopped. There was only Arden and Amy Shade. "What the fuck?" I questioned. "I'm gonna call Mustang." Ed handed me change and I was off as fast as I could to the booth. I had already dialed in the number and told them my code by the time Ed and Al caught up.
"Yellow?" Mustang said. Laying off the job are we. I giggled. Haha he said yellow instead of hello. He chuckled at the fact I laughed at his corny joke.
"Remember when you found me, uh half-dead?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Where was Melonie?" he didn't start speaking so I took it he was thinking.
"Well she wasn't really there when I got there." I gasped. "Why did you figure something out?" I hung up the phone before he could stop me. I nodded at them and they nodded back. If Melonie isn't there then where is she?
(CLIFFHANGER DUN DUN DUUUUN jkjk I wanted to scare you guys I'll finish in a minute I would just like you to know that I'm in the basement with my sister and we have the music turned up loud and I thought I heard a door slam and she said she did too so we turned off the music (obvious is it not?) and we were about to go upstairs and I grabbed a plate and said "we need a weapon!" so we went up and I was whispering like a ninja and said "They'll never see it coming!" and pause... "unless they hear me whispering." she giggled and I shushed her and we went up and I jumped out with a plate and looked around...no one. So no one was there so we went back downstairs. Well onto the story!)
"We're going to my house." they nodded and we went. Then I stopped. "Hey Ed I don't have my weapon belt." Then I saw Al pull it out of his armor. I rose an eyebrow.
"I saw it and thought 'what if we got into trouble' so I grabbed it" I smiled at him and put it around my white outfit. It was black. Crap!
"How am I gonna cover this up its too obvious!" Ed came over and clapped his hands and put them on the belt. It morphed into a black studded belt with a silver skull the belt hid the weapons. Did I mention the style looked majorly cool? "Thanks!" he stared at me, confused. "What?" I asked.
"People think I don't have good style." I smiled and shrugged. He smiled at that.
"I think it's cool." he smiled. "Come on lets keep moving." We walked around town and eventually it was deserted. Well I wouldn't live near here either if a family was murdered. I saw the path that led up to our house with many abandoned houses along the way. I heard Al gasp.
"Why did you stop learning alchemy?" he said randomly. I looked at him and held up the necklace. He nodded understanding. Too bad he doesn't know the real reason. Vampires cant use alchemy. I know. We kept walking towards the house. At the end of the path there was my house. It used to be blue but now it just looked gray. We got to the top and it was creaky. And dusty. Well then again it hasn't been used in 10 years.I nodded. I pulled out two flashlights and handed them to the brothers. "What about you?" I smirked.
"So Mustang didn't tell you?" I asked and they looked confused. "I'll take that as a no, I have strengthened senses therefore I can see in the dark perfectly unless the sky is cloudy that is." Ed smiled and muttered a 'cool'. Be careful. I nodded. Then I frowned. Crap. This house is bigger than it looked when I was younger. Then again you actually knew where you were you going. "Let's split up. Al, take these stairs, and Ed stay around this area. I'll go in the basement. Don't worry there's windows." I reassured him. "Plus I have an extra flashlight" I lied. "Look for anything with kamas on it" Al went upstairs and Ed stayed. The reason I took the basement is because I could practically feel the danger breathing down my neck.
I walked downstairs and the floor was creaking. I heard Ed jump from above but he realized it was me. I got downstairs and the scent was terrible. Stupid senses. I looked around. Nothing. I ventured farther. This was one hell of a basement. I heard something padding against the ground. Wait. Was that underground? I put my ear to the floor. Yup that was underground. It sounded kinda like a subway. Should I call for the others? No. I couldn't let them get hurt. To tell the truth my father told me never to go into the basement. I don't know why. I clutched my charm. Distantly I heard a door creak. It definitely came from down here.
"Well well well, if it isn't the Sybil." I jumped. I narrowed my eyes for a better look. And there she was. The Rayne that bit me. She wasn't wearing her usual. But I could tell it was her from the cross. I saw two others come out from behind her.
"Oh well looky here its Shado!" one of them said. He had long red hair that stretched all the way to his feet. The other had short blonde that was almost white hair. The Rayne had long silver hair that was waist-length like my black. I pulled out a dagger.
"How do you know who I am" he held up his arms mocking with me with a fake surrender like pose.
"Hey chill out there hot-head." I threw one of Hughes' knives so fast he didn't see it coming and it struck him in the shoulder. "You killed my parents. WHY!" I screamed at her. She looked completely amused with all this while the other guy who was hit was muttering curses under his breath. "Stupid bitch she'll pay for this..."
"Your mother and father killed someone precious to me so lets just say I took my revenge." that angered me. She didn't have to kill Mel...well...
"Then why did you kill Mel and try to kill me?" she smiled an evil smile. I was really about to knock that smiled off her smugly face.
"Revenge. I tried killing your sister for the fun of it knowing she suffered as much as her parents and now they are with her wherever they are knowing surely there cant be a heaven or hell. But how would it taste to have their own daughter running around like a killing machine. But it seems you haven't been feeding." but Mel said in my dream that we couldn't kill, oh right, unless they died from blood loss. But how could she tell I wasn't 'feeding'? Who cares. She said my sister suffered, then she'll do the same!
"You bitch!" I yelled. I charged at her. Then the fight scene commenced. I grabbed out a blade that transformed into a long sword. She threw a punch but I ducked and stabbed her in the gut. One of her side kicks hit me in the side. I drew out my sword and backed away. The two ran at me for attacking her. She cackled some blood coming out of her mouth. Ew. The one who had the crazy red hair attacked first. He tried kicking me out from under my feet but I jumped and then he tried punching me in which I did a back flip and kicked him in the face. He was temporarily shocked until I grabbed all his damn hair. I pulled on it and he growled he tried punching me again but I backed away and he got dragged along with me. He twisted my left wrist so I cut his hair and backed away.
"You! Look what you did to my hair!" he yelled and I laughed. That was until the hair literally had a mind of its own and started squeezing my throat. I coughed. Then I saw a bright flash of blue and something shiny. Haha shiny! Not now or you're gonna get killed! The voice yelled in my head. I noted that the hair was not strangling me anymore and was on the floor. I looked to my sides and saw Ed and Al. Damn I didn't want to drag them into this!
"You okay?" Ed asked/yelled.
"Just fucking peachy, how about you?" he snorted.
"Your vocabulary is very pretty today. Who are these guys?"
"The old witch with the white hair is the girl who killed my parents and maybe my sister. And the other two are her flunkies." I saw the woman twitch when I called her old. Then she frowned.
"What do you mean maybe your sister?" she asked casually as if we weren't fighting for our lives.
"I don't know you tell me! Her fucking body is no where to be found! You of all people should know something about it! I'll kill you!" I ran at her picking up my sword. I noticed the other two coming by both sides about to slam into me but they were kicked across the wall at the same time by the brothers. Haha! That's what you get! The woman looked furious and pulled a sword out from who knows where and it screeched along with mine. I kicked her feet out from under her and stabbed her in her right shoulder. "Why!" I screamed at her not being able to hold the tears in any longer. She tried to sit up so I pulled out some knives and stuck one in her in her left shoulder and her two thighs. She smiled evilly.
"You can't kill me you're just a girl." I narrowed my eyes with a glare that actually scared her for a second.
"Bitch, I have killed so many people I lost count now you tell me. Why did you kill them! It's because of you that I have no family! Because of you that's why I've killed people, because of you I'm a monster! So tell me why you would-"
"You would do it too if someone killed your love." she looked at the other two still fighting. Her love? "Well it seems it's time to wrap things up here don't you think-" I pulled out a gun that kills vampires. I only found this out because I tested my blood to see what it was weak against. So I combined the chemicals. "Guns wont kill me."
"You forget what I am don't you. This can kill you trust me I used my own blood to figure it out." she smiled
"You're a bright kid you know that?" her smile faded slowly. "Until next time Kaiden, you can call me Silver-mist but it looks like back up is here" she disappeared and all of a sudden there was a bright light. Fire. I spun around to find Mustang with his gloves in a snap position and the two vampires on fire. Then they disappeared in a mist. Mustang looked dumbstruck and so did the brothers.
"Well I don't want my house to catch on fire so would you please take your gloves off. And don't worry they're gone." I looked away.
"Who-" tears slid down my eyes as I realized I was still holding the gun with my finger on the trigger. I put it in my holster in my belt and picked up my knives. I looked at the others. Then I ran into the door where the vampires had come from. Hearing Mustang yelling after me. Oh no! He doesn't know whether I told Ed of what I am yet.
"Mustang he doesn't know!" I screamed behind me hoping that he would hear me. I kept running until I came across stairs and under the stairs was...a cave. What's a cave doing in here? The cave was lit with torches. I looked to see scratches as if a fight was done here. I took out my knife and I turned into a scythe this time. I walked down the cave and came across a safe. Easy. I picked out a lock-pick and picked the lock. I heard the click and opened it up. What the hell? A piece of paper with what looked like it was covered in blood. I picked it up and opened it and read the paper:
Dear Kilame,
The answers to all your questions will all be solved
As long as your bodies have not dissolved
The answer is in the chest
I wish you good luck for the best
From the one who has created Tamika,
Renda
What the hell? I HATE RIDDLES! I stomped my foot in anger. I can't just leave what if someone comes back for the paper? What if there's booby traps? I took a shuriken and put it in place. I shut the safe and traveled back through the tunnel slower than I came. I went up the stairs and through the door to find Mustang's main subordinates, including Ed and Al, talking. They looked up at me.
"Was I interrupting something?"
"No and I understand what you meant. But were those guys the vam-" I ran up to him in lightning speed and shut his large ass mouth. He dragged my hand down and I could tell he mentally slapped himself for his slip-up. I nodded my head and left for the Rockbells, clutching the paper in my hand. Well that seems like a hard puzzle to figure out. No kidding. Does this mean you still haven't figured out who I am yet? Yeah I guess it does why don't you give me a hint! I whined. Awe but Kai then that would ruin the surprise! Whoops...You just called me Kai! No way it can't be. Melonie? Damn so much for keeping secrets eh?Tears of joy ran down my eyes. I didn't care how she was in my mind or how she made it out I was just happy she was here. You were always bad at keeping secrets. And for the first time in a long time. We both laughed.
You know you love me! There's your happy ending. Oh did I mention that we kept hearing noises and went up the stairs like 2 more times until someone actually came in and that was my mom's boyfriend...so yeah. Lol it was fun. Review if you like!
