"Hello, Edward." I shut the door behind me. The suspense in the air was killing me. The last time we saw each other was...after Maria Ross was killed and we were kinda in a fight...
"Kaiden." Edward nodded. He pat his hand on the bed next to him. I wonder where Melonie and Cameron went...weren't they heading back to the hotel? I walked over and sat next to Edward.
"What's up?"
"I talked with Alphonse and Winry." Edward kept giving me strange looks when he started talking. "I think that during the Human Transmutation, Alphonse's and my DNA mixed together. That's why I eat so much, because I'm eating for both of us-what is up with your eyes?"
"Eh?" I blinked. "Oh yeah, about that...I'll tell ya later, continue on what you were saying."
"Right, Alphonse remembered something I didn't. So that must mean that Alphonse's body is still in the Gate because I actually pulled out the real soul. There really is no bringing the dead back to life..."
"Makes sense..." I thought about the 3rd laboratory and something clicked in my mind. "Hey Ed...?"
"What?"
"I need to talk to you...about Hughes' murderer." Edward grunted. "I may have figured something out...or found the culprit, but I can't be too sure..."
"Who do you have in mind?"
"The Homunculi." Edward looked away. "I'm being serious Edward! If Maria wasn't the one who killed him it had to be someone else who-!" there was a knock on the door, interrupting me out of my speech. "Come in." I said as calmly as possible. Melonie entered alone, with Akima in her arms.
"So, what are you guys talking about?" Melonie closed the door.
"Mel, you know I don't want you involved in this."
"Well, I'm going to be involved." she stated stubbornly and sat in between us. "What were you talking about?"
"Hughes' death."
"Oh..." Melonie stood up. "I think I've had a change of heart." she left the room.
"Which one..."
"Now remember, I don't know for sure but I think it might be Envy. Think about it. Maria Ross couldn't be in two places at once. Envy has the ability to shape shift and he could've taken on Maria's form. That, or they used someone and dressed them up to look like her. I can't be too sure though. I don't want to tell Roy either."
"It makes sense. You heard about Havoc?" I sighed.
"No, I only took him to the hospital, but I haven't heard anything past that."
"He's disabled from the waist down." I drew back. Havoc was a funny guy. Working with him had always been fun. It was hard to believe that I had met him ten years ago. It felt like I was closer with Ed more than him. He didn't deserve that... "There still might be a way to help him though..."
"How?"
"The Philosopher's Stone."
"But that requires-"
"I know...but I know someone who has one."
"Oh...did you...?"
"Yeah, I passed a note to the Colonel." Edward stood up.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going back to my room..."
"Well...what are you going to do now?"
"We're going to find a Homunculus."
"How will you do that?"
"I don't know...I ought to talk about it with Alphonse." I looked down at my hands. Will Edward let me go on the trip with him? Would he let Mel? It was getting really dangerous. I didn't want her to end up getting hurt.
"I'll help-!"
"No."
"What? Why not?!"
"From here on out, things are going to get more and more dangerous. I can't have you get hurt."
"Who do you think you're dealing with here? I've been in the military longer than you have." not to mention how many people I've killed.
"That doesn't matter." I glared at the back of his head. I'm going to help him whether he wants me to or not.
"I'm not some ordinary girl who can't take care of herself. I'm not even human." he flinched at my comment. "I'm a vampire and I'm stronger than you are. I may or may not be stronger than a Homunculus, but I can still protect you and Alphonse."
"I know you're not a helpless girl and that's why I'm telling you to stay out of it. You've got your own goals to complete don't you? What about your revenge against your enemy. She killed your parents, do you not remember that? She separated you and Melonie for ten years. She turned you into what you are now."
"And now...I have to watch all my loved ones die before me...do you think I want that? I want to help you! I want to make the most of it before we all separate! I don't want to be what I am but I have to! At least let me help...after we're done with this and you get Al's body back, then I'll take my revenge! I just want to help!"
"I'm sorry Kaiden..." Edward left the room.
"I'm going to help, Edward. Whether you want me to or not." I said to the empty room.
The next morning had come and I dressed appropriately for fighting. I knew something was going to happen. That's why Edward told me that I couldn't come with him...something dangerous was about to go down and I wasn't about to let Edward get hurt. I pulled my hair in a high pony tail and let my bangs fall down my face. I grabbed my weapon belt and looked back at Melonie's sleeping form. Akima stared at me and I returned it.
"I'm going out." she tilted her head. I looked at Melonie. I sighed and left the room. I saw Cameron walking down with the room service meal.
"Kaiden? You're up early, where are you going?"
"Out." I walked past him and left the hospital. On my walk, I heard many people talking about Edward. But didn't they always know about him? Why would they start talking now? Edward was definitely up to something and I was going to find out what.
"Excuse me, Miss Shade, would you like a ride?" I looked at the road and saw Roy.
"Shouldn't you be in the hospital?"
"I should, but that doesn't necessarily mean that I will be...have you heard of Edward lately."
"Oh yeah, I've heard about him. All over Central...what's he up to?"
"I don't know myself. I was getting ready to ask what his deal was to...care to join?"
"Maybe later...he wants me away from all the danger."
"But you're not going to go away are you?" Roy smirked. I smirked back.
"No, I'm going to follow him secretly...or in Melonie's words, stalk him." Roy sweat dropped. "I'll see you around, Colonel Smirky." I waved. He nodded and drove.
"I'm sure you will." I waited until his car was in a great enough distance and ran after it. It stopped and I saw Edward lounging around a cafe. A hated cafe...he knew I was trying to follow him. He knew I wouldn't dare go near that damn place if my life depended on it...damn Cretans. I watched Roy pull over and listened as carefully as I could.
"I heard about Lieutenant Havoc. I'm sure if Dr. Marcoh-" Roy held up a hand.
"Hold on. People are watching us, get in." Is Roy trying to get me out of this. I narrowed my hearing as much as possible as they all went in the car. It's probably really crowded in there... "On second though, let's get out." I heard Roy's strained voice. I giggled and followed them to a secluded alley.
"Dr. Marcoh's gone missing?" I heard them speak from the bottom of the building I was standing on.
"Looks like it. They probably took him captive." Edward growled. "There's something else we need to talk about. I'm sure you've heard that Scar's back." My eyes widened. That's what his plan was. He was trying to lure Scar out! We're going to find a Homunculus. So they were putting their lives at risk! Edward was going to get a handful out of me when I make my approach! "What's with the show boding, do you want him to find you?" I heard footsteps in the distance...it could just be a pedestrian passing by...
"Yeah, that's exactly what I want! I need to fight him and you can't talk me out of it!"
"That idiot..." I muttered. He was going to get himself killed. Does he not remember what happened last time?!
"Have you lost your mind! Did you forget the way he tore you apart in East City!"
"Oh, sounds like the Colonel's scared of big bad scar. I'm not surprised considering how useless you were against him!" Edward mocked him. The angry look on Roy's face was priceless.
"That wasn't my fault, it was raining that day!"
"Was it raining when you got beat up and sent to the hospital?! You're still useless!" I couldn't help but let out a laugh. Unfortunately for me, Alphonse heard. The arguing ones didn't. I placed a finger on my mouth.
"Shut your mouth, Fullmetal-" Riza aimed her gun up. It caused the two to be completely serious. There, standing before them, was 'big bad Scar.'
I couldn't help but laugh at that scene. I remember the scene perfectly clear in my mind XD Edward reminded me of a crocodile though. And Roy's face = Priceless XD I loved how he totally got serious (no more crocodile face) and looked at Scar seriously. It was so funny! So yeah...I got a cut on my wrist T^T Actually, more like a chunk of skin -wince- Me and Hannah were walking in her Electricity class and I stopped (for some unknown reason O.o) and then heard her running towards me. I thought she was going to barrel me over so I sidestepped to the right...right when I sidestepped to the right, she turned right and we collided. I ended up falling on my butt and scraped my hand on the ground...she kinda stumbled back...and then you know what she did? SHE LEFT ME THERE BLEEDING! I WAS ABOUT TO DIE AND SHE LEFT ME THERE FOR WHO KNOWS WHAT REASON! Then again, she didn't know I was bleeding...when I found her and showed it to her she was like - OoO -GASP- She felt so bad XD Then she gave me a scooby-doo bandaid :3
