Celine opened her eyes and was looked up. Lilly had place a tray of food on her lap and smiled.

"No ones up yet, so I snuck down stairs and got some food for you. I thought that you could sneek to your room once your done so no one will find out that you were here and that you were hurt." Lilly said then yawned.

"You stayed up all night, huh?" Celine said looking at her.

"Yeah, but I couldn't sleep anyways. I had a lot on my mind." Lilly said looking down. She shot her head back up and put on a smile. "How are you feeling this morning?"

"Sore. It really hurts."

"The way you were bleeding, I don't think that you were attacked by something, at least not like normal attacks." Lilly said and Celine began to eat.

"Lilly, I was rapped last night by Envy."

Lilly's eyes grew big with shock. Her face went pale and she had to sit down her hands came over her mouth as her eyes began to water.

"Please don't tell anyone. I don't want anyone to know. I've made a decision last night." Celine said and pushed the tray away.

"I became a State Alchmist for Ed. I wanted to see him again and thought that maybe we could be together, but now that I know that he loves you, I can't get involved." Lilly blushed. " I've decided to leave Alchemy behind and go home. Things are so peacefull there and I'm sure that my friends miss me. I just want to get away from here, as far away as possible."

"Celine..."

"I'm not going to tell anyone why I'm leaving, I'm just going to say the I miss home. They will understand. I need you help on this. I can barly walk without hurting myself so I've decided to write a note and leave it on my desk, that way you can call a cab and help pack my things before anyone wakes up. I have to leave before I see Ed, or I might not be able to leave at all. You understand right?"

Lilly nodded and removed her hands for her mouth.

"I will help all that I can, but I still think that you should stay. I'm sure Ed and Al will find Envy soon and will deal with him...."

"Lilly, please don't ask me to stay. I have to go. I guess I'm just to shaken to stay."

Lilly nodded then left. She cryed as she packed Celine's things and called for a cab. She helped Celine get dressed and helped her walk outside to get in the cab. Lilly gave her a big hug.

"I'll miss you."

"I'll be back one day. Just make sure that they find my letter, and remember to act like you never saw me since yesterday afternoon. People might ask questions but you have to keep quite."

"I promise."

Lilly shut the car door and watched it drive away. At least she will be safe where she is going. I'm never safe. They'll always follow me and never stop until I'm dead or in their hands. Lilly walked back inside. She walked to her room and closed the door. Moments later Al knocked on her door with Celine's note in his hands.

----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------

E d walked in Mustang's office and walked stright up to his dest. Mustang was filling out papers of Celine's departure and didn't notice him. Ed taped on his desk and Mustang looked up.

"What do you want? I have to finish these papers. There two weeks late." Mustang said. "It's been two weeks since she left and I'm suck doing all the paper work."

"I only came here to ask you if Al and I are still Lilly's guardians." Ed said with a serious look on.

"Yes, but if you want me to change it then..."

"I want her to go on the next mission with me, I mean us. I can't protect her if I'm not with her."

"This is because of you leaving her that last time and her keeping her promise, isn't it? You want her near you so you could still be around her and if necessary, hold her in your arms as she gets scared. Am I right?" Mustang said with an evil grin.

"It's my business!!! Stay out of it!!!" Ed yelled with a blush that covered his face.

"I'm right. Well it just so happens that some one gave us a tip on a case that involves a kiddnapping of an Alchemist. Go to the East Headquarters and get more information. Call me when you find him." Mustang said then waved Ed out.

------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------

Lilly gave her back pack to Al who put it on the train. She held her bear close as she boared. Ed could tell that the train still scared her and that she was very nervous. He didn't expect Lilly to say anything to him the whole trip, but having her near him was enough. Just as Lilly was about to sit be Al, Al placed a bag in the chair beside him.

"I'm sorry, Lilly. But I wanted to put my things here that way I could get to them easyer." Al said.

"That's ok. I'll sit somewhere else." Lilly said with a smile. She looked around and only saw an empty seat beside Ed. She sighed and sat beside him. Ed looked over at Al who had a huge grin on. He planed for this to happen. What is he trying to do, push us back together? It's not that simple. The train took off and Lilly grabed Ed's hand out of fear. Ed looked at his hand and Lilly noticed. She slowly pulled her hand back and blushed. I can't do this. I want to have him hold me, but I don't want him to get the wrong idea. I'm still mad at him and still don't trust him.

Three hours later, they got off the train. Ed and Al walked up to the East Headquarts door and Lilly said she wanted to wait outside. She sat on a bench at the bottom of stairs and held her bear close. Ed and Al began to talk to the man in charge as Lilly waited. A man in a black suit walked up to Lilly and smiled. Lilly smiled back. He sat beside her.

"What a pretty bear." The man said.

"Thank you, his name is Edward." Lilly said beaming.

"My you are very pretty too."

"Thank you." Lilly said blushing.

"I bet you will look beautiful in a dress." The man said.

"I love to wear dresses. But I usually wear them at home."

"I own a dress shop not to far from here. Would you like to see if you like any?" The man asked.

"I don't know...." Lilly began to get uncomfortable. "I'm suppost to be waiting for someone."

"We will be right back. It's only around that corner." The man said pointing.

"Well...."

"Come on." The man said holding out his hand and smiling.

Lilly took his hand and stood up. She walked with the man to the corner then got hit in the head with something. Lilly droped her bear and the man caught her body. Right before she blacked out, she looked up at the man who was still smiling.

--------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------

Ed and Al walked out.

"Well that was a waist. They already found the guy." Ed said.

"Brother, where's Lilly?" Al asked looking at the empty bench.

Ed looked around and saw something on the ground. He ran towards it and Al followed. Ed picked it up.

"Lilly's bear..." Ed whispered.

Al picked up a piece of a plastic pipe. Ed began to panick.

"Brother, I think she has been kiddnaped." Al in a scared voice while looking at the pipe.

"Al, run and go get help! I'm going to go look for her!" Ed shouted.

"Right!" Al said and took off.

Ed looked at the pipe.

"Jean's Pipe Place...." He read off the side.

Ed took off towards the store that had the same words. He droped the pipe for Al to find where he would be at.

Lilly opened her eyes with a serious head ache. She tryed to move her hands, but found them in chains above her head. Her back was to a wall and her feet had been chained to the floor. She was only in her bra and panties. Her mouth had a rag in it and her hair had been let down. She tryed to scream but nothing was load enough to be heard. She began to cry as she tryed to use her powers to get her out of this jam, but relized that the chains had lead in them and was only making her weak. She pulled on the chains and thrusted her body around, but only calsed her wrist to start getting sore.

She looked around and saw that she was in a ware house full of different shapes and sizes of white plastic pipes. She saw the men she had meet on the bench come towards her with a knife. She tryed to scream, but it didn't help. Her eyes began to blur with her tears. The man came closer until her was only inches from her.

"I told you that you were beautiful. I knew I had to have you for myself. Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you, I'm just going to make you wish you were dead." The man said.

Lilly felt the cold knife gently touch the valley between her breast. I don't want to be rapped! I don't want to be like Celine! I wish Ed was here! Ed were are you!?! The man gently cut off the staps to her bra. Lilly knew that soon the bra would fall completly off but as least it didn't fall off instantly. The man the cut a few inches of the middle of the bra where the valley of her breast were. He cut a little more untill it was only holding be a small thread.

Just when the man was getting excited, Ed busted open a hole in the wall using Alchemy. The man turned around only to be knocked out with Ed's metal fist. Lilly muffled his name as she saw him. Ed quickly took out the rag and the chains form her feet. As soon as he took off the chains around Lilly wrist, she lungged her body at him which calsed the last thread on her bra to snap and her bra falling completely fall. She hit Ed's chest and snuggled against him. Ed wraped his arms around her.

"I was...so....scared...." Lilly said in between sobs.

"I wish I would have gotten here sooner." Ed said.

Ed didn't notice his was pushing Lilly chest hard onto his body untill Al and someother Alchemist came in and took the man away. Al cleared his voice and caught Ed's attension. Al pointed to Lilly chest and Ed sweat droped. Lilly didn't seem to notice or care, she was just to happy to see him. Ed carefully took off his jacket so no one would catch a glimps of Lilly's breast. He wraped it around her. Lilly looked up at him.

"Thank you....for being here for me." Lilly said then rested her head back on his chest.

Ed pulled her closer.

"I'll always be here for you." Ed whispered. Even if you don't want me to at times.
