Chapter seven
Roy was still unable to move by the time he heard someone walk back into the room he had been placed in. His chest tightened as he struggled to move. /Was it that Chimera? / He thought trying to remember why he was in the room in the first place. He couldn’t remember what had happened between the battle and waking up there.
Jan knelt before him; her thin uniform shirt only buttoned enough to keep her almost decent. "You upset me Flame; you almost went to them to tell them what we were doing... I can’t have that happen. Adrian’s is teaching me so much. And, we’d rather not have our fun spoiled." She knelt before him, leaning in so close that he could feel her against his skin through the thin shirt she wore.
Some facial expression had returned to him and he looked disgusted with her actions. The dark haired man tried to pull away from her, only to have her catch his wrists holding them above him with one hand. /What in hell did she give me? / He thought trying to will his vocal chords to work. He shoved against her, unable to remove the woman completely.
"See that the drugs are starting to wear off." She smiled pulling a pair of cuffs from a pocket of her skirt. She slipped them on him, locking him to the wall through a small tie-down. A little more light showed the area and he found he was in some animal stall.
/The stables that stood at the eastern end of the town. / Roy thought hiding a smile knowing where he was at least. /Won’t be that hard to get back to camp if I can get away from this woman. /
"Can’t have you ruin my fun now can I?" She purred reaching down to unbuckle his pants. "After all, now that I have you here, I may as well figure out how good you are pretty little Flame." She licked at his cheek lightly. "Taste a little of ash... Not that it’s a bad thing."
Roy made a sound he hoped was extreme protest and tried to pull away from her. /Damn it, I’m still too weak. Maes... I should have listened to you.../ He thought shaking his head.
The blond woman looked into the midnight colored eyes of the man under her, scooting down a little as she worked his manhood out of his pants. She grinned looking at it. "Well, you’re bigger than my husband is at least."
/Like I want to know that you sick bitch. / Roy growled. He felt her fingers running up and down the length trying to fight the reactions her gentlest touch was having on him.
"S..Stop..." Roy managed to squeak out biting back a groan of pleasure that threatened unwillingly to escape his throat.
"Oh, is little Flame still a virgin?" She asked looking anything but innocently sweet from her perch on his legs. He groaned as he felt her tongue run along the length.
"Why..." The word was squeaked out, almost unheard by the woman before him. /Doesn’t matter... I still can’t move.../
"It’s okay; I won’t hurt you this time... I don’t want to break a toy the first time I get my hands on it." She purred, ignoring the tears that were trailing down his cheeks. "You’ll enjoy this." She smiled more. "Unless you would rather have my husband play with you first. But that would ruin all my fun..."
Roy bit his lip. /Don’t encourage her... If I don’t talk she may get bored and leave... Then... Then I can try to get some dignity back.../ He thought trying again to get free.
Bright blue eyes seemed to be enjoying watching him struggle. "You tasted so good Flame..." She gave a mockery of a salute. "Since you do out rank me..." She giggled. "Sir, permission to suck you off then have you fuck me hard." She said sounding serious.
/And most guys fantasize about her? What the hell are they thinking? / He thought trying to look menacing. "...Not... granted..." He replied.
"Too bad, you’re currently the hostage remember? If you behave, we might leave you alive so that they can find you. Who do you think will get here first? The Military? Or the Ishval freaks?" She giggled madly before licking precum off the tip of his cock with a talented tongue.
/Shit.../ He thought fighting the urge to come right then and there.
"How do you think I got my rank? The hard way? Please, I love to fight, but I love to blackmail more." She continued to toy with his fully erect member with delicate long slender fingers.
Roy whimpered unintentionally. /It was worth the shot, / He thought brokenly.
"Those who didn’t like the idea well, that’s where Jordan comes in. A good husband takes care of his wife." She lapped at him again making him shudder all over.
Roy turned his head away closing his eyes as tightly as he could. /This isn’t happening... This can’t be happening. It’s one sick and twisted nightmare. / He thought.
"I’ve decided to keep you as a pet. With proper training you would make a good one." She smiled a little watching him shiver. "In time, you may learn to love it."
"Fuck." Roy bit his lip trying to ignore the throbbing erection. He tried to will it away, but found he couldn’t. He yanked again at the cuffs in some desperate need to be in control of something at least.
She went down on him, her blond hair brushing against his thighs as she worked.
/Blood. / Roy thought tasting it in his mouth. He tossed his head from side to side begging her to stop. Unwillingly to him his hips thrust up into her mouth. He screamed out, panting for air between thrusts and screams. The young man’s face flushed as he felt the skillful mouth working on his skin as if his manhood was a lollipop.
Jan felt him twitch in her mouth and smiled as she reached down with one hand working her soaked panties off. Roy saw them fly to the side with a flick of her wrist once they were off.
Roy clenched his hands in tight fists feeling his nails bite into the skin. His head was still buzzing as he came, gasping for air as he did. Tears filled his eyes again.
His eyes opened wide as he felt lips against his. He could smell his own sex on the breath and tried to pull away.
Roy could feel her working him up again as she forced him to taste her mouth. Roy’s stomach began to churn as she positioned herself. /God let this be a nightmare.... / He thought unable to pull his mouth free to scream.
Roy jumped awake. He glanced around quickly, only to find no one was near him. /I don’t need memories coming back right now.../ He thought sighing softly as he closed his eyes again for a moment before checking on the state of the others.
Ritsuko groaned slightly, having been hit by accident when he had woken. One arm was around Mitsuko, while the other was dangling off the seat, the bandage almost falling off, exposing a dark colored mark on the inside of her wrist. Mitsuko’s head was on her shoulder; the rest of the child was buried under Hawkeye’s jacket. Roy gave a faint smile seeing the two were resting peacefully.
Hawkeye had been watching the scenery pass and saw in the reflection of the window that Mustang was awake. "Falmon said we should be in the next town soon." She whispered to him.
Roy nodded. "Good the sooner we can get to a position we can defend the better." /And the sooner we can figure out what they did to Ed the better too. / Roy thought as his eyes fell on the blonde boy who was sleeping nearby.
Al carefully moved Ritsuko’s arm back up to her side tucking it back under Roy’s jacket hoping that his brother didn’t see it. /He’d freak if he saw that. She’s nice though. I doubt she’s like the others. Even though humans have hurt her, she hasn’t tried to attack them. / He knew that it would take the others a little longer to figure out what it was.
Ed muttered something in his sleep scratching his exposed stomach.
Roy’s eyes looked at Fullmetal’s brother. "How was your rest?" He asked hoping to get his mind off the dream before it rendered him unable to command for a while.
/You know I don’t sleep. / He thought. "It was okay, gave me time to think at least."
Mitsuko woke, her stomach growling a little.
"Hope you didn’t dwell on things left alone."
Havoc scratched the back of his head, "Hey, Falmon we almost there? I really need a smoke."
"Yeah we’re almost there, same place as usual?" He asked glancing back at the others.
"..’m hungry... Can we get something to eat?" Mitsuko asked rubbing her eyes sleepily as she sat up.
"It’s the only place big enough." Roy replied then turned to look at the small child smiling slightly. "Of course we’ll get something to eat real soon okay?" He said watching her sister turn to the wall curling up a little more. The smaller girl looked out the window to see where they were.
"We’re not near the village are we?"
Roy chuckled lightly. "We’re away from them. We’re going to stay here a few days so you and your sister can rest up a bit, and then we’ll go to Central okay?" He asked. Mitsuko nodded slightly going over to the other side of the van to look at a lake as they passed it.
Maes lifted her into his lap. "We can go out there later if you want." He said hoping to calm her.
Mitsuko nodded. "I’m a good swimmer." She smiled.
Ritsuko shook her head in her sleep, almost as if she was having a nightmare. The young woman curled up tighter into a ball.
"Who are you callin’ small..." Edward grumbled in his sleep.
Ritsuko shook her head in her sleep, almost as if she was having a nightmare. The young woman curled up tighter into a ball.
"Wake up bitch." A sharp kick hit her stomach making Ritsuko fall to her knees trying to get air back in her lungs. Looking up she looked at Jordan who grabbed her hair pulling her head up. "You disappointed us, trying to run away like that. We’re protecting you and this is how you repay us? By getting a child to ruin the chains that were here for your protection?" She could feel the gag in her mouth and knew she wouldn’t be able to answer him. He slapped her across the face making her whimper slightly in pain. "Don’t even start. You’re not worthy of the protection after all. We should have killed you when we killed the doctor."
/No.. this isn’t happening.../ She shook her head as she was locked against the wall. Jordan’s nails bit her skin as he tore off her clothing. /No! Mitsu, Rem... Help.../ She frantically tried to get free, her body arching as she felt a whip touch her flesh. The scream was cut off by the gag.
"Someone should wake her up." Roy said calmly. /Before her dream gestates into a full version of Hell. We still don’t know everything that they did to her, but it’s clear that it’s not good./ He thought.
Falmon had pulled into the drive at the inn and stopped the car. He nudged Havoc. "Go on and wake her." He whispered.
"Me?" Havoc looked at Falmon. "Fine fine, but then I’m smoking this whole pack. I don’t want to hear any of that cigarettes are bad for you crap."
Al went to wake his brother. "Come on Ed."
Ed swatted at his brother. "Leave me alone... Sleeping..." Ed huffed in a small mumble rolling over again to get away from the hand.
Roy got out of the van after Maes and Mitsuko, the later holding onto the large man’s hand as if she was afraid to let him go. Roy heard the trouble Al was having trying to get his brother. He didn’t look to see if Havoc had woken Ritsuko. "Short."
Ed shot up, "Who are you callin’ an ultra hyper midget!?"
Fury jumped awake.
Brenda grumbled as he woke. "Keep it down will you?" He yawned.
Ritsuko woke scrambling into a corner curling up tightly, having been jolted wide-awake by Ed’s yell.
Al glanced over to her, not sure if he should try to calm her or not. "Brother you didn’t have to yell." He whispered as Mitsuko darted past him to calm her.
"But... Sure, fine make me into the bad guy... Stupid bastard Colonel..." Ed glanced over to Roy glaring at him. Ed stormed away from the van, making his way through the streets to the library.
"Guess boss woke her." Havoc said lazily before going for his smoke. /Damn it, Boss should be careful with her. We don’t know what they did to her./ He thought. /If things were different I’d go to her, but I’m not sure if she even trusts us, since Military hurt her./ Havoc thought leaning against the wall with his unlit cigarette in his mouth.
/Damn it if Ed wasn’t so cure when he was pissed like that I would have reprimanded him about startling her./ Roy thought as he turned to look at the young woman who was staying near the small child, still clearly shaken. "I am sorry for that. I thought that you had already woken when I spoke. Fullmetal doesn’t like to be reminded of his size and automatically wakes up if someone refers to his height." Roy spoke calmly trying not to startle her more.
Ritsuko nodded after a moment. "I didn’t mean to freak out like that." She toyed with the bandages on her wrists a little, not looking up at him. "I guess I’m still a little scared at this whole situation."
"It’s okay, you’re allowed to be." Roy made her look up seeing the fear in her eyes as she did, though she didn’t pull back. "We won’t let anyone hurt you okay?" He asked calmly. "Not all of us are like the men that had you."
Hawkeye walked up to the group as the brunette was lead to where Maes was waiting by the child.
"They only have four rooms open. Seems there’s a festival starting tomorrow, and most of the entertainers are staying here." She reported to Mustang.
"We’ll have to share then. I was thinking of having you share rooms with the girls in the first place. I don’t think that they should be left alone until we figure out what’s really going on."
Hawkeye nodded seeming to think that he was right. Mitsuko was scooped up by Maes. "Though, shouldn’t Hughes do it? He’s better with kids, and she seems to be at ease around him sir." Hawkeye said softly.
Roy looked at her. She shook her head. "I’ll stay with them."
Falmon sighed leaning against the van watching the Colonel and his subordinate. "As long as I don’t have to deal with Havoc I’m fine." He said glancing to Maes, who had gotten the girls to laugh at some joke. /Must be showing them pictures of his daughter./
Al made his way to the library knowing his brother too well.
Ed was reading a book, slouched in a black padded chair, slumped against one arm, while his feet were resting on the table. The blonde teen’s red coat was hanging over the opposite arm of the chair as well as his shorter jacket, leaving him with only his sleeveless shirt.
Al watched a few minutes hearing his brother turn the pages every so often before Ed sighed.
"I know you’re there Al."
"Sorry Brother. Hm... Roy wants you back at the inn before it gets too late." He crossed the room sitting at the table across from his brother.
"The bastard probably said something like ‘be sure to be back before his shadow’s taller than he is’ didn’t he?" Ed fumed. /If he knew what happened he’d probably have me court martial. He’d say something like ‘there’s no room for weaklings in the military’./ Ed thought shaking his head. /I’m not going to think about that with Al here. I don’t want him to know his brother couldn’t do anything to save himself./
Ritsuko closed the door after Mitsuko and Hughes left to get something to eat. She looked at the man lying on the bed. "Mustang, sir..." She shifted a little on her feet looking down. "What happened... How do you know Master and Mistress..." She asked keeping her eyes focused on a patch of the floor. "If, if you would rather not talk about it I’d understand, but... When you were looking at me I got the feeling you were trying not to lose control over something you bottled up."
He looked at her. "They don’t own you." He said with a sigh. /I’d rather be alone right now.. Seems that’s not going to happen though. Between her, Hawkeye and Maes.../ He sat up. "They won’t stop until they’re rotting in prison. I’d prefer the ground for Jan." He said making her look up. "You’re not the first one she’s hurt. Unless she’s stopped, I doubt you’ll be the last either." Roy told her what had happened to him before.
Ritsuko listened sitting on the bed across from him. It was clear that she was listening, even though she was perfectly quiet. Roy watched her toy with the cord on his jacket, not messing it up, but just fiddling with it to keep her hands from toying with the bandages she wore.
"You’re Flame." She looked up at him when he had finished. "I thought that she was talking about someone she had killed I... I’m sorry, I know I shouldn’t be sorry for her actions, but..."
Roy pressed a finger to her lips. "It’s okay, it’s in the past." He gave her a faint smile. "You should go catch up with your sister and Maes before they decide to come looking for you."
Ritsuko nodded slightly. She set his jacket down on the bed as she stood. "I’ll make sure to stay out of the way when you guys need me to... And I can handle caring for Mitsuko.."
"Looked more like it was the other way around." Roy stood leaving his jacket there. "Come on, I’ll walk you down okay? You wan to go wash you face first? I don’t think it’ll be good to let her see that you were crying. She might think it was my fault."
Envy looked over at Jordan and Jan, who were both waiting in the car.
Jordan climbed out. "I still think you should have stayed behind Jan." He said worried about his wife’s wounds.
"Sooner we get her back the sooner I’ll be fine. Don’t worry about it dear. Besides, who remembered the festival here? Every year some of the younger villagers disappear for a few days." She smiled warmly. "We’ll just lure her and Edward away during the festivities, and it’ll bring Flame right to us."
Envy snickered as he heard the blond woman. "That might work. But we have to consider what would make them hurt more. I still think we should find the brat who called the damn wolves and kill her too. That hurt."
"I would agree, but we need her to keep our pet in line." Jordan smiled cruelly.
Roy was still unable to move by the time he heard someone walk back into the room he had been placed in. His chest tightened as he struggled to move. /Was it that Chimera? / He thought trying to remember why he was in the room in the first place. He couldn’t remember what had happened between the battle and waking up there.
Jan knelt before him; her thin uniform shirt only buttoned enough to keep her almost decent. "You upset me Flame; you almost went to them to tell them what we were doing... I can’t have that happen. Adrian’s is teaching me so much. And, we’d rather not have our fun spoiled." She knelt before him, leaning in so close that he could feel her against his skin through the thin shirt she wore.
Some facial expression had returned to him and he looked disgusted with her actions. The dark haired man tried to pull away from her, only to have her catch his wrists holding them above him with one hand. /What in hell did she give me? / He thought trying to will his vocal chords to work. He shoved against her, unable to remove the woman completely.
"See that the drugs are starting to wear off." She smiled pulling a pair of cuffs from a pocket of her skirt. She slipped them on him, locking him to the wall through a small tie-down. A little more light showed the area and he found he was in some animal stall.
/The stables that stood at the eastern end of the town. / Roy thought hiding a smile knowing where he was at least. /Won’t be that hard to get back to camp if I can get away from this woman. /
"Can’t have you ruin my fun now can I?" She purred reaching down to unbuckle his pants. "After all, now that I have you here, I may as well figure out how good you are pretty little Flame." She licked at his cheek lightly. "Taste a little of ash... Not that it’s a bad thing."
Roy made a sound he hoped was extreme protest and tried to pull away from her. /Damn it, I’m still too weak. Maes... I should have listened to you.../ He thought shaking his head.

"S..Stop..." Roy managed to squeak out biting back a groan of pleasure that threatened unwillingly to escape his throat.
"Oh, is little Flame still a virgin?" She asked looking anything but innocently sweet from her perch on his legs. He groaned as he felt her tongue run along the length.
"Why..." The word was squeaked out, almost unheard by the woman before him. /Doesn’t matter... I still can’t move.../

/And most guys fantasize about her? What the hell are they thinking? / He thought trying to look menacing. "...Not... granted..." He replied.
"Too bad, you’re currently the hostage remember? If you behave, we might leave you alive so that they can find you. Who do you think will get here first? The Military? Or the Ishval freaks?" She giggled madly before licking precum off the tip of his cock with a talented tongue.
/Shit.../ He thought fighting the urge to come right then and there.
"How do you think I got my rank? The hard way? Please, I love to fight, but I love to blackmail more." She continued to toy with his fully erect member with delicate long slender fingers.

"You disappointed us, trying to run away like that. We’re protecting you and this is how you repay us? By getting a child to ruin the chains that were here for your protection?"

Ed shot up, "Who are you callin’ an ultra hyper midget!?"
Fury jumped awake.
Brenda grumbled as he woke. "Keep it down will you?" He yawned.
Ritsuko woke scrambling into a corner curling up tightly, having been jolted wide-awake by Ed’s yell.
Al glanced over to her, not sure if he should try to calm her or not. "Brother you didn’t have to yell." He whispered as Mitsuko darted past him to calm her.

Ed was reading a book, slouched in a black padded chair, slumped against one arm, while his feet were resting on the table. The blonde teen’s red coat was hanging over the opposite arm of the chair as well as his shorter jacket, leaving him with only his sleeveless shirt.
Al watched a few minutes hearing his brother turn the pages every so often before Ed sighed.
"I know you’re there Al."
"Sorry Brother. Hm... Roy wants you back at the inn before it gets too late." He crossed the room sitting at the table across from his brother.
"The bastard probably said something like ‘be sure to be back before his shadow’s taller than he is’ didn’t he?" Ed fumed. /If he knew what happened he’d probably have me court martial. He’d say something like ‘there’s no room for weaklings in the military’./ Ed thought shaking his head. /I’m not going to think about that with Al here. I don’t want him to know his brother couldn’t do anything to save himself./
Ritsuko closed the door after Mitsuko and Hughes left to get something to eat. She looked at the man lying on the bed. "Mustang, sir..." She shifted a little on her feet looking down. "What happened... How do you know Master and Mistress..." She asked keeping her eyes focused on a patch of the floor. "If, if you would rather not talk about it I’d understand, but... When you were looking at me I got the feeling you were trying not to lose control over something you bottled up."
He looked at her. "They don’t own you." He said with a sigh. /I’d rather be alone right now.. Seems that’s not going to happen though. Between her, Hawkeye and Maes.../ He sat up. "They won’t stop until they’re rotting in prison. I’d prefer the ground for Jan." He said making her look up. "You’re not the first one she’s hurt. Unless she’s stopped, I doubt you’ll be the last either." Roy told her what had happened to him before.
Ritsuko listened sitting on the bed across from him. It was clear that she was listening, even though she was perfectly quiet. Roy watched her toy with the cord on his jacket, not messing it up, but just fiddling with it to keep her hands from toying with the bandages she wore.
"You’re Flame." She looked up at him when he had finished. "I thought that she was talking about someone she had killed I... I’m sorry, I know I shouldn’t be sorry for her actions, but..."
Roy pressed a finger to her lips. "It’s okay, it’s in the past." He gave her a faint smile. "You should go catch up with your sister and Maes before they decide to come looking for you."
Ritsuko nodded slightly. She set his jacket down on the bed as she stood. "I’ll make sure to stay out of the way when you guys need me to... And I can handle caring for Mitsuko.."
"Looked more like it was the other way around." Roy stood leaving his jacket there. "Come on, I’ll walk you down okay? You wan to go wash you face first? I don’t think it’ll be good to let her see that you were crying. She might think it was my fault."
Envy looked over at Jordan and Jan, who were both waiting in the car.
Jordan climbed out. "I still think you should have stayed behind Jan." He said worried about his wife’s wounds.
"Sooner we get her back the sooner I’ll be fine. Don’t worry about it dear. Besides, who remembered the festival here? Every year some of the younger villagers disappear for a few days." She smiled warmly. "We’ll just lure her and Edward away during the festivities, and it’ll bring Flame right to us."
Envy snickered as he heard the blond woman. "That might work. But we have to consider what would make them hurt more. I still think we should find the brat who called the damn wolves and kill her too. That hurt."
"I would agree, but we need her to keep our pet in line." Jordan smiled cruelly.
