Hi! Thanks for 30+ comments! You guys are awesome! I'm terribly sorry for the incredibly late chapter, I couldn't find the time to write it between school, homework, and a weekend of being sick(which doubled my homework) Here's chapter 6!
Enjoy!
He was going to find his Brother, even if it cost him his life.
This was one of those moments that you look back on and think 'What could I have done better?' as prideful as Ed was he had to admit his first reaction had not been favorable.
As he followed Mustang through the train cars all his angry and worry started to bubble and mix into hatred, like a cauldron of rage and agony ready to be bottled and shipped. If you had been walking near him Ed bet anyone could feel the waves of anger splashing around inside of him, radiating off of his pelt.
"Here's the car." Mustang said sternly, glancing down at the cat near his feet "Don't do anything stupid."
"Have I ever done anything stupid?" Ed asked incredulously, looking up at Mustang an angelic look practically stapled onto his feline face.
Roy raised one eyebrow quizzically, questioning how much Ed really saw about himself. He stopped and opened the door in front of them.
Inside was small and dull, a perfect place for this guy to spend his time in Ed added mentally, not daring to speak out loud just yet. In the corner sat their disgruntled and very very irritated guest. His mouth was covered with a rag and his hands were tied behind his back, bound in thick rope.
Ed snarled and without thinking he unsheathed his claws and lunged into battle. He slashed his claws across the bound mans legs leaving sizable slashes in what was probably a very expensive suit. He spat in rage and turned for anther attack before Mustang finally caught him by the nape of his neck.
"Fullmetal!" he snapped, "We don't need you throwing a tantrum."
"Dont call me short!" Ed snarled
"How did I possible call you short?" He sighed setting the cat down on the only other chair in the side of the room, maybe of he could see eye-to-eye with the rest of them he would be quieter.
"You implied it." he grumbled "Only little kids have tantrums, thus stating that I am small."
Waving away the accusation Roy turned back to their hostage "Now," he spun and chair around and sat down in front of him "I think you should tell us a few things."
The large mans face twisted into a smirk "And what if I don't?" he asked "Are you going to kill me?"
"No, all we'll do is torture you until you speak." Roy narrowed his dark eyes and focused intently on Cupcake.
Ed had to admit Roy was good a psyching people out. The dark orbs piercing you, forcing you to speak.
Cupcake huffed and smiled, but a hint of worry creased his brow "Fine then..." he choked out "My master wants you there anyways."
Ed looked at him incredulously, Why does he want me there?" finally asking the question in his and Roy's mind.
"My master is located further north, you'll find him in a large mountain mansion." he continued, completely ignoring Ed.
What he did next surprised both of them. Without either of them. Noticing he had drawn and alchemy circle on the back of his chair, with a quick movement he tapped it and smoke billowed out around him.
Roy yelled and jumped forward, catching nothing but smoke "Dammit!" he snarled "Why didn't we notice that?"
"He could of gotten out any time he wanted to..." Ed snapped, mad at himself for not realizing it "He only stayed to deliver a message."
Sighing Roy rubbed a temples "Well, I guess we will have to follow his directions." he glanced back at the empty chair "As much as I don't trust them."
Al sat in the back of a covered trailer, his large frame stuffed into a much too small space. The wheels of the cart went over a bump and rattled the whole cart.
After he had went to check on the prisoners the larger of the two had surprised him, managing to catch and subdue the large suit of armor.
Shuffling around he managed to get a look outside. They were trekking through a large meadow, the long fronds waving gently in the light breeze. If you looked far enough your could see a ring of trees farther north, encasing the meadows like its own little world. If not for his situation Al would have gone as far as to call it beautiful.
Leaning back he gathered his thoughts an immediately came to a conclusion, he would have to wait until a moment came to escape and make his way back to his brother. Ed probably was worrying about him right now. Just as Al worried about him.
About to finalize the ideas all of his plans were crushed as he saw where they stopped. A large dark mansion towered over the cart, it's dark walls covered in vines and the large metal gate that stood in front of it was rusted shut. The large gates creaked eerily as his captor forced them open.
Getting out of this may be more difficult than he had hoped.
"I'm hungry!" a very loud and very irritating voice wailed.
Roy looked down and the cat padding along beside him, ever since Ed had become a cat eating normal human food had been difficult. And quite frankly, for those watching, it was almost comical.
Before they left to head North Ed had tried to eat but since cats lacked the ability to eat a hamburger it hadn't worked out. Now they were trudging along an abandoned road, the wind tearing at their clothes, whipping through their hair... Or fur.
"This wind is sooo great." Ed snorted, his voice dripping with sarcasm "I hope it blows us all the way to the next-" his words were cut short as another large gust of wind blew him of his feet, his open mouth now filled with dust.
"Damn!" he spat, chocking on the dust.
This was not the first time it had happened and Roy was up to his eyebrows in irritation "I've had it!" he snapped "You're just slowing us down."
Before the young alchemist could shoot back an insult he bent down and scooped up the small cat.
Ed immediately went berserk. He snarled and struggled to get out of his grasp "Let my down you bastard!" he yowled
"Do you want to save your brother in time or what?" Roy snapped, his patience supplies for the next two weeks drained.
Ed froze and flattened his ears. Without saying a word he turned away and watched the road ahead, obviously still not liking the idea of being carried.
Smiling over his win Roy shifted the cat in his grasp until Ed sat comfortably in his arms.
They walked like this for a good hour, neither saying a word. At one point Roy looked down to see the small cat sleeping quietly in his grasp, small ears twitching like he was dreaming. All the problems and physical strain must have won over his pride. Finally dragging him into the world of dreams, relieving him of his real life worries. Even if it was only for a while.
How was it? I really like writing about kitty Ed XD I imagine him being really cute. Sorry for the mistakes, posted it do fast I forgot to edit it. Anyways, please review!
