Previously on Vampiric Love
"Maybe we should go see what they're up to, Master Ling?" Fu asked. He must've meant Ed, Al, and Winry when he said that. Ling nodded and we all walked back. Right when I came in I saw Ling poke his head through the window.
"Oh-ho, we're going to Central?! How exciting!" I saw Ed's face get frustrated.
"I TOLD YOU YOU'RE NOT COMING WITH UUUUS!" Ed yelled so loud it woke some of the neighbors up. Well…Central…here we come!
We were all sitting on the train, including Ling and Winry. I wonder what Winry and Ed were talking about while I was gone. I shrugged, best not to wonder bout it now.
"Uh, Kai?" Ed asked. I looked up.
"What?"
"Why did you just shrug?" …
"…Uh. I was thinking about something and I just shrugged it off…"
"Okay…." I saw Al fidgeting like he wanted to say something. I looked at him.
"Do you want to say something Al?" I asked him. He nodded.
"When we were at Izumi's….What were you and Brother doing?" We both looked at each other and blushed, then we looked away.
"Just don't worry about it." Ling decided to join in the conversation.
"Oh really now?" Ling grinned. "What were Ed and Kaiden doing Alphonse?" I saw Winry look at us in the corner of my eye. I stood up, making him fall back down in the seat.
"I said don't worry about it!-how old are you?" That caught him off!
"Uh….15?" We all stared at him. I looked at Ed. Ed glared right back. Ed stood up violently.
"Stand up!" He gestured with his hand to stand up. Ling did so. Oh wow. Ling was inches taller than Ed! I started giggling.
"Squinty-eyed freak!" Ed yelled at him.
"Hey what did I do to you!?" All of sudden a blade came down and would've hit Ed if I didn't push him down.
"Nice to know you're still here." Ed complained. We heard her say something about 'insult, Master Ling.' I sighed. "Wait a minute you didn't pay for your tickets!" Ed shouted up at them. "That's a crime! I'm going to call officers on you!"
"You might not want to do that." Ling replied. "They're trained to take down any threats to them or me." Ed sighed and plopped back down in his seat. I took the sword down from the ceiling. We were already having enough suspicions about us. I looked at the swords blade. It was pretty sharp. Ling tried snatching it from me but I pulled away.
"Oye…quit it." I said putting the blade out of reach.
"That's our sword though." Ling pouted. I gave him an angry glare, he flinched.
"Well you have two of my swords! Not to mention you were using them on my friends!" I yelled at them. I saw the Pommels coming down and dropped the sword. Ling dove for the sword and I caught the two Pommels in my hands, right above Ling's head. He looked up cautiously and stumbled backwards. I smiled.
"You could've stabbed me!" Ed laughed at him. I heard Winry sigh. We all looked at her.
"This is going to be a long train ride." I nodded.
"Yup…oh and I was reading a newspaper and it says that Colonel Roy Mustang was transferred to Central." I heard Ed groan. Al and I giggled at him. The whole train ride was pretty fun, especially with Ling there. He was constantly bored so we had to play plenty of card games and such. I made sure to ask for Ed's coat before we started playing because Al said that last time he played he had cards up his sleeve. So I made the excuse to say that I was cold, because the window was open. At first, Ling offered me his jacket but I refused, seeing as it was the only upper thing on him. Then Ed finally gave up his jacket. The games went fast and Winry and Ling didn't have a chance. Then again they were dealing with Alchemists here! Just because I cant use Alchemy doesn't mean I'm not an Alchemist…We finally got off the train and I noticed that Ling was gone.
"That's odd." I muttered. I looked at the others who didn't seem to notice. I saw Fu and Lan Fan desperately searching for him. I hopped on the upper deck and saw Ed walking off. "Hey Ed!" I yelled at him, forgetting that I was still wearing his jacket.
"Yeah?" Ed turned his head backwards.
"I'm gonna go look for Ling…I'll see you at the hotel!" I said. I heard him groan while I sped off. Fu and Lan Fan were surprised that I ran so fast. I used my skills to climb up on buildings. I saw a figure in the distance, just standing there. I hopped buildings to see who it was: Ling. I walked behind him. I knew he knew I was there.
"Something about this country doesn't feel right."
"What do you mean?" I asked him.
"Never mind…" I frowned. I had felt the same thing when I first became a vampire, but that might not be what he was talking about. It felt as if bodiless souls were dying underneath the earth. I shook my head.
"Your bodyguards are looking for you." I saw Ling shrug.
"Feh. I'm hungry." I sweat-dropped.
"You're always hungry!" I exclaimed. I looked at Central HQ. I wonder if Hughes found out anything…and what was his ghostly figure doing at the station? I tried remembering what that meant. I remember my mom and dad appearing like that when I was little and leaving the station with Mustang, but that could've just been my imagination…they were dead…unless. My eyes widened. No. He cant be. He cant be dead! I felt tears water up in my eyes and pulled my jacket close. He was like a father figure to me, other than Roy.
"Kaiden…is something wrong?"
"It's nothing." I wiped my eyes on the sleeve of my jacket…wait since when did I wear a jacket with my miniskirts? I don't! Except my jean jacket but this jacket is red…oh….crap. I took Ed's jacket. I shrugged. Ah well.
"Right…so do you have any money on you?" I searched in Ed's pockets.
"Nope." I tried to get my mind preoccupied off of Hughes' death.
"Ugh but I'm so hungry!"
"Would you like me to kill another bird?" I saw Ling dry vomit.
"Dude, what you did was disgusting!"
"Well you have to do that in times of survival." I glared at him. I saw Ling shudder. I sighed. "Whatever, lets just go find some charity shop or something. Or we could find the Elrics…I'm pretty sure they could get room service…"
"I like that idea." I laughed at him. "But…which hotel room is he in?"
"Beats me." Ling glared at me. I giggled. We started walking around and I noticed Ling getting weary. "Don't you dare collapse!" I yelled at him. I sighed as Ling just did what I told him not to do.
"So hungry…" I saw an officer come over to us. He looked down at Ling.
"Sir, are you alright?"
"Starving…" I rolled my eyes.
"Can I see your passport?" I looked down expectantly at Ling. He was sweating. My eyes went wide. He's basically illegal?!
"You didn't bring a passport?" I asked angrily.
"You know him?"
"M-me? Oh I j-just met him o-on a train." I stuttered.
"Right, that's what they all say. You're coming with us." I groaned.
"Now look you stupid fat ass! You got me arrested!" Ling rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
"Hehe. Sorry." Lings hands were chained too. The men escorted us to a prison and put weird chain thingies around our hands. I looked at it and groaned. "I'm not really a fan of these." I rolled my eyes.
"Quit complaining. Every stray mutt needs a collar. Alright, I'm going to ask you one more time. You're honestly 15 years old?"
"I sure am." He slumped against the cage.
"I don't buy it."
"It's the truth, I swear!" I heard footsteps running and walked up to the bars. I looked passed it and pointed over that way.
"Hmm. What's that?" He looked in the direction of my hand. "What's happening?!" I heard him yell at another running soldier.
"We have an intruder! C'mon give us a hand!"
"What?!" He looked back at us. "Behave yourself got it?!" Ling waved him good-bye.
"I will!~" I groaned.
"Screw that, I'm getting out of here!" I opened Ed's coat to reveal my belt. I stopped when I heard gunshots. I looked at Ling. "On a scale of 1 to 10 how dangerous do you think this guy could be?" Ling shrugged.
"Lame, lame, lame." that voice sounds familiar! "Are you guys even trying? You can do better than that."
"He's still coming at us! The guns don't even dent him!" Ling looked serious. Wait…dent…as in metal. Armor! So it's either Al or…Barry?
"Hold it! Stay back!" I heard a guy yell. I heard screaming. Ling and I saw guys flying down the hallway.
"The hell?" I asked.
"Hello! Strange armored ghost man!" Barry looked our way. "Do you think you could let us out?"
"I can bust out myself!" I yelled at him. Barry walked up to our cage.
"Who are you?"
"Just an illegal immigrant from Xing."
"Oh yeah? A foreigner?" He started walking away. "Well have a nice trip home."
"If you let us out of here, we could help you." I hit him on the head with my elbow. "Owwies."
"I don't have time to deal with you." Barry stopped and looked back. "Wait where did you say you were from?"
"Xing, east of the desert." The lock was broken by Barry's knife.
"Come with me." Ling followed after him and I followed after Ling, I started to wonder if Barry knew I was here. We ran into more officers. Barry ran up to hit them but I snuck behind them and knocked them out, afraid that Barry would hurt them too much. Barry just stared at me.
"We going or not?"
"Where did you come from?" Barry said with hearts in his eyes. I backed away a little.
"Uh, from inside his jail cell." I pointed at Ling.
"Are you from Xing too?"
"Psh, no." I grabbed out a retractable sword and gestured him to go first.
"You are one strong woman! Like that Hawkeye lady!" I rose a brow.
"Right." I said slowly as he passed by me. We walked up to someone's cell.
"Well hello there, sweetheart." Barry said as he creepily loomed over her cell. "I've been looking for you~"
"That isn't creepy at all." I muttered sarcastically.
"You're from the 5th laboratory?!" I heard her say as she backed into the wall…
"Maria?!" I asked. He ignored me and broke the lock and walked towards her.
"You remembered me, how sweet!~ I remember you too." He continued on, "I think of you every time I look at the hole you put in my right hand. Just like that hole you put in the guy, Hughes." My eyes widened.
"No, it wasn't me!"
"Oh yeah? According to the newspapers, you're one guilty soldier girl." Maria grabbed the paper.
"It cant be."
"Oh but it is. Right now its looking like you'll be facing the firing squad for sure."
"Its not true. They're wrong if they would do a proper investiga-uh!" Barry sliced through the newspaper.
"Here are your choices! Stay here and be killed for murder or bust out of this joint with me!" Her eyes widened. "Which will it be?!" Tears formed in her eyes.
"How is this happening to me." She banged her hands against the wall. "Isn't there anything else I can do?"
"It sure doesn't look like it!" Ling said as he pointed towards more soldiers.
"I have no choice!" Maria took a dramatic pose. "Mom, Dad, please forgive me!" I sweat-dropped. "Fine, lets go." She said more seriously. "If this is how it has to be, I'll escape with you but you better know a way out of here metal boy!"
"Oooh, you've got spunk!~" I rolled my eyes.
"I'll do what I have to do!" I shook my head. "Kaiden?"
"Sup?" Barry took mine and Maria's hand and led us out of the building. We went through an alleyway.
"How much further?" Maria asked.
"Just keep moving!" Barry stopped, making me slam into him. A vibration went off and vibrated my body, making me dizzy.
"Whoa, who shook the earth."
"Lieutenant Ross!" I heard two familiar brother's exclaim.
"Edward, Alphonse, what are you two doing here?" I saw Al and Barry point at each other.
"Aaah! You're that guy!" I rolled my eyes.
"And Ling too?!" Al exclaimed and Ling rubbed the back of his head embarrassingly.
"Hey guys…what are you up to?"
"What are you doing here!?" Ed asked.
"Quit chattering!" Barry lifted up his knife and started slashing his knife at Alphonse. He bounced back and landed on me, knocking the wind out of me.
"BARRY GET THE HELL OF ME!" I pushed him off.
"Woops sorry about that sweetheart." I rolled my eyes. He looked at Maria. "Alright sweetheart take that back alley there, the darkness ought to hide you.
"Wait hold on! Tell us about Hughes!" Maria stopped.
"Get going!" Barry yelled. "If the military shows up they'll shoot you!" She ran.
"Lieutenant Ross!"
"No wait! Lieutenant Ross!" I got up and followed after her. We kept running but Maria stopped abruptly, making me run into her. I landed on my back and hit my head on the ground, causing me to black out. I could still hear bits of the conversation though.
"You're Maria Ross, right?"
"Roy?" I asked. There was a big flash of light and I conked out. I subconsciously felt someone lift me up.
I snuggled into a rough blue pillow. It sure didn't feel like a pillow though…more like clothes. I peeked my eyes open, glad that no one was watching me. I looked up through slit eyes to see Roy. Okay usually I would be embarrassed but not this time, I really needed a hug. It felt like one of my father's had died. I snuggled more deeply into his pants, eavesdropping on their conversation.
"You must've held quite a grudge on her, didn't you Colonel?" I gritted my teeth. "Is the vengeance as sweet as you imagined it?" My eyes snapped open and I glared at Knox. He was taken aback at first and then he just scowled. I stuck my tongue out at him.
"Kaiden, stop it." I stuck my tongue back in and pouted.
"The Ishbalan Hero of the war going this rough against a little girl." He started walking away. "It makes me sick." I saw Roy look away from him. Roy patted my head and I sat up. He got up and I did too. Major Armstrong spoke up.
"Colonel, please allow me to apologize for one of my own officers' actions. I could never have imagined that Second Lieutenant Ross would commit such a heinous murder. She was so straight forward and earnest, compassionate, a truly fine officer." Armstrong was near tears and I kinda pitied him. He sat down and held the bridge of his nose.
"Fatigue seems to be getting the best of you, Major. Perhaps you should take some leave. Back East, where I was, it's a nice place." Roy looked at him. "None of the big city noise, and lots of beautiful women." I smiled but I saw Ed grit his teeth. For Ed being so smart I was surprised he didn't get it.
"Why are you siding with him, Kai!" I heard Ed yell at me. I opened my mouth to say something but Ed continued on. "Did you not see what he did to her! How can you still be a sane human after seeing him do that." I grit my teeth and took off my jacket. I walked towards him calmly and held out his jacket but glared at him.
"Whoever said I was human anyways…"
Done! How did you like it? Oh and at the A/N at the top, that was this morning but since I was so busy today I just now got this uploaded ^-^' so yeah…review? :3
