--Last Chapter--
“Ed maybe we should get the others before getting killed!” Mustang yells at him as they follow through the city.
Ed charges ahead something spooking him Lust had something that looked mighty familiar from the day they did the transmutation on their mother something very sharp from a old suit of armor “Something’s wrong they wouldn’t just show themselves to us. ” he quickly says to him following the bread trail by the homunculus.
Mustang glares at him heatedly “Then maybe it‘s a trap did you ever think of that?” he asks sarcastically as they step close to a house a little bit out of the city and gasp.
Chapter 15: The Burning House
IT was a burning house that he was taking him to “Someone help us!” They both hear from inside the house but Ed wasn’t paying attention to the house anymore he was paying attention to something beyond the house that was smothered in darkness.
Roy rushes forward Ed on his heels “Please!” they hear the voice of a little girl in the house.
Roy looks at the house and then for the nearest body of water was and sense it was a desert there wasn‘t anything to quench the fires thrist. Roy curses quietly under his breath “Why would the homunculus start a house on fire!” he yells out in frustration looking for the door then to someone he had almost forgotten “Ed?” he asks uncertainly.
Ed continues to at the back of the house where the dark figure hadn‘t moved before letting out a single word “Mom?” he asks himself.
“Ed snap out of it!” Roy yells finally shaking him.
Ed shakes his head looking anywhere but at the house it was to similar to what they did to their house “It can‘t be!” he says running off to the other side of the house.
“God damn it, why is he so stubborn.” Roy says finally giving up on him for the kids that were still in the house as he burst in the fire roaring hot and walks through it with confident and ease, it was his element after all.
He finally spots the kids in a corner of the living room they were trapped by a burning bookcase but it was nothing to him “Are you all right?” he asks them both uncertainly.
The boy nods “Yeah we think so.”
“Ahhhh!” a scream comes from the outside where Ed had run off and now it all made sense. Ed had saw something he hadn’t and went to check it out.
“Mom!” The little girl yells out tears streaming down her checks.
Roy grabs them and runs for the door “Don‘t worry about it someone went to get her,” he says bursting out the front door once more turning to the darkness where Ed had went earlier “I hope.” he whispers quietly.

Ed skids to a stop in an underbrush out a little ways from the house but not to far because you could smell the smoke from the fire “I knew you would follow me.” Envy says smirking as Ed glares.
“Envy.” he spits out venomously.
Envy smirks at him “How ironic that it should come to this don‘t you think?” Ed continues to glare and was about to clap his hands together but was stopped “Not so fast Pipsqueak.” Envy says smirkingly as he pulls out the mother of the two children as she whimpers in fright.
“Let her go!” Ed yells.
“Why would we do a thing like that?” a new voice comes in stepping out of the darkness as Ed’s own mother.
Envy turn to smirk at Ed‘s stunned expression “I told you it was ironic especially with the turn of events.”
“Please don‘t hurt me.” the women whimpers.
Envy chuckles at that “Sorry dear but this is the way it has to be.” but that time Ed was fast cutting Envy‘s arm off making him drop the girl “Damn it.”
“Go.” Ed yells at her.
She nods “Thank you.” and sped away to her children a her burning house.
The woman so similar to his own mother just smirks “Hello FullMetal, my name is Sloth.”
“Figures.” Ed mumbles to himself.
Sloth glares at him heatedly “What was that?”
Ed glares just as heatedly right back at her “Nothing Nothing at all.”
She intensives her glare as Envy breaks it up “I‘ll give you one more chance pipsqueak because I‘m a good guy.”
“Yeah right.” Ed sneers.
“Make the Philosopher stone!”
------------------------------------------------
--Outside of the House--
A figure quickly makes its way through the darkness as Roy positions himself to attack but quickly steps down to who it is as the mother comes up quickly to her children and hug the dear life out of them “Oh thank heaven.” she quietly says burying her head into their hair.
“Mommy!” they squeal out in delight.
Roy looks back to where she had come but doesn‘t see the figure he was hoping to see, he turns back to the young women “What happened to the young man that released you?”
She finally looks up at him and sighs “He was arguing with some man named Envy, they would of killed me if it hadn‘t of been for him.”
Roy looks to the night once more “Which way?” he asks.
She points to her right “There.”
He nods his thanks and sets off down the path she had pointed and quickly stumbles upon Ed sitting and looking up at the midnight sky “FullMetal? what the hell?” he asks confusedly he expected him to be in trouble not admiring the landscape.
“They lured us here.” Ed says shrugging as he watches the night leaves dance across the landscape “They wanted me to make a Philosopher stone.”
“Again?” he asks skeptically they wouldn‘t of just asked it would of surprised him if they had a preposition for him.
“They‘re getting desperate.” Ed says emotionlessly, looking out into the darkness.
“I see that.” Roy replies looking back at him skeptically once more but nods “Lets get back.”
------------------------------------------------
--Hotel--
Ross yells at them she felt like a mother to Ed and she was a little over protective of him as well, not to mention her boyfriend, which he asked her out not to long ago “Where the hell were you two?” Ross asks playing the part of an angry mother very well ash she crosses her arms.
Ed hides behind Mustang as Roy looks at her quite terrified “We found out who was setting houses on fire apparently Envy wanted to have Ed make him a Philosopher stone.” Roy says all in a hurry as she drags him away.
Al comes up to Ed timidly “Nii-san?”
Ed looks up at him and smiles a sad smile “You‘re forgiven Al.” Ed says walking off now that they were back at the hotel.
Al takes a step toward his direction “That‘s not what I was going to ask.”
Riza notices this to and rushes to her coat “Where are you going Ed?” he looks at her and shrugs “Then I‘ll come with you and your not going to say no!” Ed was about to protest but women were scary screatures so it was best not to say no.
They walk down the deserted road looking at all the people in their houses until Riza couldn‘t take it anymore “What‘s bothering you?” Riza asks quietly looking at him as he glances at her.
Ed just shrugs and continues on his way “Nothing‘s bothering me.”
Riza looks at him angrily “Something is!”
“I‘m fine.” Ed snaps back.
Riza looks at him hurt “You know I’m always here if you need to talk or share some of your secrets.”
Ed sighs and turns a smile at her “Thank you Riza, I might take you up on that offer.”
Riza smiles a genuine smile at him as she motions with her head back to the hotel “Let‘s head back before your brother worries.” he nods reluctantly and heads off.
-----------------------------------------------------
--Central’s Library--
“Do I get to eat these?” Gluttony asks as he points to the books drooling a bit.
Lust glares at him angrily “Hush, Gluttony, You‘ll get to eat something once we get out of here.” she says turning back to the door at hand they were FullMetal’s favorite book collection.
She pulls the door open and looks from one bookshelf to the other “Let‘s see here.” she mumbles to herself thinking “FullMetal will be able to use these to make the Philosopher stone.” she says picking some books up at the highest bookshelf.
“Can I eat this?” Gluttony asks as he points to a table.
Lust sighs in defeat “Go a head.” she turns back to the books “Envy and Sloth did there job well to get them away from this place after almost the second discovery of books missing.”
--Flashback--
Riza yawns as she puts her head on top of Ed‘s shoulder “This doesn‘t seem like were locked in.” she mumbles quietly as she looks up leaning in for a kiss.
“Shit.” they looks over to the book case and glare.
“I think we‘re not alone.” Ed mumbles to her, she nods her head in agreement.
They run over there quietly moving the box to see a rat eating away at one of the librarians meals “It was only a rat.” Ed replies.
“A dead rat after I‘m through with it.” Riza mumbles to herself angrily.
Ed looks up at her in confusion “What did you say?”
Riza looks up at him started led “Oh me? Nothing.” she replies innocently at him as she drags him back to the movie.
“FullMetal wasn‘t supposed to be here still.” she sneers as she turns around to go “I‘ll have to get the books later.” Lust mumbles to her self angrily watching as FullMetal and ShadowChain continue to watch their movie.
--End Flashback--
“If FullMetal didn‘t practically sleep here we wouldn‘t still be here.” Lust crosses her arms as she, mumbles to Gluttony even though she knows he won’t understand a word she was saying
“Can I eat that?” Gluttony asks once more as Lusts vain becomes apparent to him.
