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.
I was smiling all the way to the Rockbell house. Then I saw the tree I sat at three days ago. I walked over to it and sat under it. So I'm guessing you're not allowed to tell me anything? Yup sorry little sis. There is something interesting I can do but only if you let me. Oh and whats that? I can take control of your body! And how in the hell is that useful? I can use Alchemy...You learned alchemy? Only because it reminded me of you. I see. Well actually that can be useful. Are you good at fighting? Yup not to mention I'm epic when it comes to alchemy but I might not be as good as a fighter as you are...thats no problem. Well for now I'm just going to rest here. Okay sis. Love you! Love you too!I smiled and let sleep overtake me. Funny thing really, I fell asleep to the scene of the sunset.
"Hey wake up! Kaiden! Kaiden Shade!...KAI!" I bolted upright and knocked my head into something.
"Ow...what the hell" My eyes started readjusting to the light. When I could see clearly I saw everyone in the room. Winry, Granny, Alphonse, Mustang's crew, and...Ed? "Hey Ed what are you doing on the floor?" I said rubbing my head. Then I saw him rubbing his own head. I started having a laughing fit. I could feel Mustang staring at me like I've gone insane. After a full five minutes I managed to stifle my laughter into giggles. I clutched my chest because it hurt. Nothing. Where's my charm? I jumped out of bed and started running and rummaging around. I could feel everyone's eyes on me. I stopped and glared at all of them. They all looked away except Ed who started laughing.
"Here" he held out the necklace. I took it suspiciously. Where in the hell were you? Mel said with, by the sounds of her voice, worry. Uh sleeping? Well don't take the necklace on dummy it's the only way we can talk! What do you mean? I created a duplicate...so I could talk to you. Oh okay. I didn't take it off they must've while I was sleeping not wanting it to choke me and before you ask 'they' is my new friends. Okay well I've been up all night worrying good night and don't talk to me while I'm sleeping!I smiled. Kay! I looked around to see everyone looking at me like I was going insane.
"What?"
"Oh nothing once you put on that necklace you spaced out and smiled weirding all of us including Falman out." I looked at the others who were giving me curious looks.
"Oh well actually you see-" I stopped myself. I couldn't tell everyone here. Let's see. "Uh can I talk to you, you, you, you, and you" I pointed to Winry, Al, Ed, Mustang and Hawkeye.
"Sure we need to talk anyway...well except you Winry." Winry looked upset.
"I thought you said you weren't in the military."
"I'm not. I just need to know these things because I'm traveling with Ed to keep his strength up." she muttered an 'oh'. "However, you can know about what I'm about to tell these guys." she smiled at that. I guess shes usually kept in the dark. We all went down to the 'now special meeting tree' "Okay guys you might not believe this but Mel's alive." all of their eyes widened but none of them spoke. There's the cue to continue... "She can somehow talk to me through this locket." I held up the locket. "She made a duplicate though I don't know how, probably with alchemy, but there might be a time that comes when I need her help since I've given up alchemy but she hasn't and through this she can control my body but only if I let her!" I reassured a fuming Ed. I really don't want to deal with his scent right now. Winry stood up, smiled, and then nodded without saying a word leaving us alone.
"Okay, well then. Onto business. We found someone who might be able to help you guys he's a bio-alchemist. His name is Shou Tucker and he"s a state alchemist and goes by the name sewing-life alchemist. He created a chimera that can talk but it only said one thing...I want to die. So then it never ate and fulfilled its wish." I saw Ed's eyes widen in the corner of my eye. Why would a chimera want to die unless it was...suffering. "Fullmetal I understand that you're getting your real arm attached tonight so I guess that means I will see you in Central tomorrow afternoon understand?" Ed shrugged it off.
"Yeah sure whatever, we'll be there."
"Okay, well then I'll take my leave with Lieutenant Hawkeye." She nodded. "See you tomorrow Fullmetal. And they were off.
"Well then...who want's to spar?"
"But I only have a spare arm!" He whined pointing to his arm.
"Well that means if you get in a fight and most of your arm is broken you can be able to still fight in your condition." He seemed to be thinking about it.
"Its not that I don't think its a good idea but Winry would kill me if I broke a spare." I smiled evilly.
"We'll see about that." he looked at me horrified at what I was going to do. "stay here!" I commanded and they stayed as I ran up to the house. I walked into the living room, granny was reading a book and Winry was working on automail. I smiled evilly and walked over to her.
"Hey Winny!" I said in whiny voice. She stopped working at looked up at me.
"What?"
"Well you see I wanted to train Ed with his spares because-"
"NO" she yelled and went right back to her work.
"You didn't even let me finish!" I whined.
"I don't want him breaking spares we need those for other patients!"
"My training could save his life!" she stopped working again and looked up and me.
"And how could training with a spare save this dangerous life of his?" she stood up with her hands on her hips.
"Well what would happen if Ed was fighting too rough and his automail broke? He would have to stop fighting because he wouldn't be used to fighting with his arm all beaten up, BUT! If I help him train with a spare he might get used to it and that could save him a whole lot of trouble!" she seemed to be pondering on this. She looked at me and furrowed her brows. Then I did something that she couldn't say no to. I gave her the puppy dog look. "Pwetty pwetty pwease big sissy" I begged and she was like pudding(1) in my hands.
"Awe! Okay!" she hugged me. And I hugged back smiling evilly. Granny saw the whole scene and just chuckled. I ran outside and rushed over to Ed and when it looked like I was going to crash into him I just stuck my foot in the dirt and stopped automatically. The wind blew his bangs and he had a shocked look on his face. I smiled.
"She said yes!" I yelled and ran away. He must've been confused because that's what his face shown when I spun around and ran towards him again. He must've thought I was charging to attack but then I jumped into the air and spread my arms out wide and put a happy look on his face. He dropped his battle stance which was converted to a confused stance. Gotcha. I glomped him and he fell to the ground.
"What are you doing?" I pushed up in a push up position where my hands were on both sides of his head and my jet black hair was in front of his face. He pushed it out of the way trying to not get any in his mouth and I laughed. Then we just stared at each other. That was until I noticed our position. I blushed and stood up and helped him up.
"I was glomping you because I was filled with happiness!"
"Glomp?" he questioned.
"An attack hug!"
"Oh..." he trailed off. Then I clapped my hands which made him jump but easily recover.
"Now lets start this! First I'll spar with you, then Al, then both of you. Is that okay?" Al shook his head.
"That's alright I don't need training." I shook my head.
"No you don't need physical training but maybe some mental training like intelligence, that'll help you get through a lot of fights." he nodded his head.
"Okay that will do, just in case I get separated from my brother. Well while you two spar I'll observe"
"Okay! Get ready Ed!" and it all started by Ed charging at me. The rules were that there was no alchemy and if blood was spilled we would have to stop immediately. Ed and I were sparing until we both ran out of breath. Ed was bent down huffing "You thing you got it down?" he looked up at me and smiled.
"Yeah." he said looking back down and huffing again.
"Oh and a word of advice! You can't breathe as well with your head down. Come on Al time to learn some intelligence!." He nodded and walked over. We went over to a nearby tree and talked.
"But what if they do know how to kill me through my blood seal that would be bad!" Al freaked out.
"Well it depends on your attacker, if he's just like you, use it against him and tell him that you know how to too. And if he says something like oh well you don't know where my weak point is either than you tell him the same thing for you!" he nodded his head and calmed down.
"That makes sense." then we heard granny call dinnertime. Were we out here that long? Wow I guess time does go by when you're having fun huh? We all rushed in and ate dinner which was stew and the only thing Ed would eat that had milk in it. We ate the stew and then went into the living room for Ed's attachment.
"On three" Winry replied
"One..." Ed squeezed his eyes shut.
"Two..." Ed braced himself.
"Three!" I wonder how much it hurts if Edward Elric, the Fullmetal Alchemist, is pained by it. I mean it can't be that bad can it?
"Ow!" SCREECH. The nerves connecting screeched in my ear. Damn you vampire senses! I plugged my ears and fell on the ground with my knees on the floor and my head touching the floor, "Ouch I hate it when the nerves connect like that!"
"Oh stop being such a baby Kaiden's got ears of a cat and she's not fazed by the-never mind then she is fazed." they all looked to see me covering my ears and on the ground.
"Oh my god the nerves and metal nerves screech and it sounds like nails on a chalkboard only REALLY loud" After Ed went out to spar, I didn't go because I was too tired, I went upstairs and took a bath and put on my favorite black fuzzy pajamas with white fuzzy kittens all over them. I also have my black kitten slippers on. I walked downstairs for a night time snack and Ed and Al walked through the front door.
"Hey guys we're done sparring so-" Ed stopped talking when he saw what I was wearing. His jaw dropped. Al basically squealed.
"Awe they're so cute!" Al said running over to me. The pajamas made him squeal? This kid really like cats. Ed closed his mouth and we all went to the kitchen to get something to eat. After we were all fed we all went to our rooms and slept.
I woke up, bleary-eyed. I kept blinking trying to get the bleariness out. I got up and walked downstairs and looked at the clock. It was seven. Our train left at seven-thirty. I'll go wake Ed up. I walked into their room to find Al gone. I looked over and saw a pile of gold on a pillow. Ed. I went over and shook him
"Ed time to wake up!" I shook harder. He still wasn't waking up...hmm. Jump on him! If you say so but if he hits me I'm blaming you! Oh and good morning. Morning...now jump on him! I walked back to the doorway and ran and glomped him in his sleep. He sat up bolt right and hopped out of bed, causing me to fall on the floor. "Ow..." I groaned. He chuckled.
"It's your fault for glomping me in my sleep!" he snapped.
"It wasn't my idea, it was Mel's!" he looked at me confusingly and I pointed to the necklace and gave an 'oh'...awkward silence... "Well get ready we have about twenty-five minutes until the train leaves. I left into the living room and sat down and started to read an automail magazine that was left on the table. He came out ten minutes later.
"Alright lets go" he said.
"We still have fifteen minutes."
"Yeah but it'll take ten minutes to walk there and we still gotta find Al. He's probably visiting mom's grave so lets go ahead and leave." I nodded okay and we left saying goodbye to the Rockbells. On the way there we ran into Al who was walking our way, I could smell cat all over him, and we all made our way into the station. And right when we sat down into the seats, this time Ed sat next to me and Al had a seat to himself, the train choo-choo'd and it left. "Well I'm going to sleep, I'm not exactly a morning person" Ed stretched. He was out like a light. He really isn't a morning person but neither am I. Uh-oh I want to sleep too but I don't want to lay on Ed because what if he wakes up? I panicked. I think Al could tell.
"It's okay if you fall asleep on him, I usually have to wake him up anyways and I personally don't think he would mind." Thank you Al! I lied down on him and smelled his nice scent. It made my fangs grow a little but I didn't care because I would be going to sleep anyways.
"Oh and I wont tell Ed about the cat" Al flinched.
"How did you-" he began to panic.
"Lets just say I have the nose of a hound." I replied, "and don't worry I like cats too so I wont tell him!" he nodded. And I dozed off letting the darkness, that wasn't bad this time, swirl me in a deep sleep.
CHOOO!
I sat straight up in the chair and Ed groaned from the lack of warmth and he soon woke up too.
"Wow brother thats the first time I didn't have to wake you up!" Al joked knowing it was the fact that his 'blanket' was pulled off him. Ed sent him a glare and I giggled. When we got off the train we checked into a hotel and dropped our stuff off and then walked down the block to HQ. I looked at the time on a nearby clock-post-thing. 11:30am. We have to be there in 30 minutes. I sped up to a speed walk. "Whats with the rush?" Al asked.
"I'm always on time and I'm not going to stop that record now" by this point was practically dragging them both to HQ and let me tell you we got a lot of weird looks. We walked up the steps and I signed us in and headed for the Colonels office. We nearly fell down the stairs... twice. Ed was dragging his feet on purpose. "would you quit that!" I yelled.
"Yeah well it's not like we have to be on time"
"Yes we do!"
"Nu-uh!
"Yeah-huh!" 11:55am
"No!"
"Yes!" Almost there!
"No!" There it is!
"Yes!" we walked in the room and into the Colonels private room. He was smirking next to the state alchemist, Shou Tucker, who was also smiling. "Colonel Smirky we're reporting at afternoon time just like you asked!" Tucker laughed when I called him Smirky.
"Yeah, I can tell, I heard your entire childish argument down the hall"
"Well it's his fault!" I pointed at a grumbling Ed who was sitting on the leather couch.
"Since when have you been so out-going? Never mind that doesn't matter here this is Shou Tucker the Sewing-life alchemist." he gestured toward the man known as Tucker. Somehow I had a very bad feeling about this guy.
~Time Skip~
We left the Tucker residence that evening after meeting Nina and Alexander, and studying our asses off. Even I had to study since I used to know alchemy! Such bull.
"I say we stop by and tell him thanks. I forgot to mention it when we left." Al and I nodded in agreement. Ed rang the doorbell. No answer. Ed knocked. No answer. Ed opened the door.
"Brother you can't just go into someones house uninvited its impolite! Besides what if he's not home?" He was definitely home. Oh no...I smell blood. I stiffened.
"Al there's lights on in the house, what if somethings happened-what's wrong Kaiden" If I say that there is blood in there he'll charge like a maniac. I unstiffened.
"Nothing I just noticed that the lights were on too." I nodded. He nodded and we went inside. The smell of blood was closing in. I wasn't prepared for what happened next.
"Oh the Elric Brothers I want you to come in and see. I created a chimera that knows human speech. See. Darling look this is Edward." we walked in to see that there was a white dog looking thing with brown hair coming out of its head.
"Edward. Edward. This is Edward."
"Yes thats very good! This is great now I'll be able to pass the evaluation exam!" Why did that chimera's voice sound familiar? Ed was kneeling down next to it surprised that it could talk.
"Edward. Ed. Big Brother Edward!" Ed stiffened. That had to be Nina. The chimera's hair was like her.
"Hey Tucker"
"Hm?" Tucker asked oblivious.
"When did you join the military?" Tucker put his hand on his chin to think.
"I believe that was two years ago." he answered nonchalantly.
"And when did your wife leave you?" Ed's making sure before one of us beat the hell outta this dude. Al seems completely oblivious and was petting Nina.
"That was two years ago too." Tucker frowned.
"I have one more question for you." he took his hand away from his chin and looked at him. "Where are Alexander and Nina." Ed said anger flowing out of him through clenched teeth. The scent appeared. Damn it not right now!
"I hate kids like you. Too bright to be in the military if you ask me." Ed quickly pushed him into a wall holding his arm on his neck. I would be doing the same damn thing too if the scent wasn't preoccupying me.
"You're sick! Two years ago it was your wife and this time you used your own daughter and her dog!" he spat. "you can only do so much with animals so you toyed with human lives!"
"Oh but we're the same Ed what do you call your arm and leg and your brother-" Tucker kept going but I didn't hear what he said anymore. I had to keep my senses from going wild. Al looked shaken up and stopped petting Nina who was whining. Then Ed started punching him over and over yelling something about them not being the same until Nina tugged on his coat and he stopped. "Now I get to keep my state alchemist license!" he cheered but his watch was kicked out of his hands by Ed. He crawled to his watch and Ed hung his head and yelled in anger.
Around 15 minutes passed and troops were all gathered around the room and we all left avoiding discussion. We all went back to the hotel. Then everything started getting blurry. Ed said something about talking to the Colonel tomorrow about whats going to happen to them and Al said he went out to get some things. Ed was filled with too much emotion and his scent was overwhelming my whole body and before I could stop myself I walked over to his bed and he looked up at me innocently but he couldn't see my eyes that were blood red.
"Kaiden are you-" I cut him off by pushing him onto the bed. I no longer had anymore control on him. I looked at him and his eyes widened. My fangs grew a whole lot. "Kaiden what are you- I leaned closer to him and opened my mouth. He started pushing against me telling him to get off but my blood lust was more powerful right now. Just when I got close enough, what he said next made me stop. "Kaiden, please stop, please!" he yelled. Then suddenly my eyes turned back to normal and I got off his bed. 'I'm a monster' I thought without talking to Mel. 'I was about to hurt him and I couldn't stop!' tears started flowing down my cheeks.
"I'm sorry..." I squeaked out through a hoarse voice, tears still flowing down my cheeks. "I'm so sorry, I couldn't stop I just-I'm so sorry!" I backed up into a wall and started rocking back and forth. After all we had been through and I had to crush our friendship. He sat up staring at me.
"Kaiden are you-" he stopped himself unsure of what to say. I looked up at him knowing that the tears were going nonstop.
"I'm a monster"
