I Would Die For You- chapter 11

 

 

“Hello Eli…I've been waiting.” Eli stepped back in shock. “Why? I trusted you!” Doctor Sentora just stared at her, expression still sly. “Eli, what's the matter?” She looked at Eli's shoulder and noticed the blood running down her arm. “You should get that taken care of.” The woman got up from the desk and took some gaws out of her pocket. She walked towards Eli and started wrapping her shoulder. Eli jerked away. “If I don't warp it, you will bleed to death.” “Why do you care? You're the one trying to kill me!” “Fine. Bleed. It'll make getting rid of you a lot easier. I was trying to give you a fighting chance.” Eli gritted at the woman. “Oh…by the way, my name is not Doctor Sentora. It's Meredith Plecin. I killed the real doctor Sentora for aiding you dogs, then I took her place to make it easier to get rid of all of you.” Eli was clinching her fists. She could feel her blood boiling. “You sicken me!” Meredith walked to the wall behind the desk took out a piece of chalk. She drew a transmutation circle on the wall, and placed her hands on it. The wall opened up to a laboratory. There was a table and lots of beekers. There were many odd looking tables with restraints on them. Eli then saw a familiar substance on the table beside some needles and a candle. She stared at it, hoping it wasn't she thought it was. Meredith noticed her expression. “So…What do you think of it?” Eli looked up at the woman with an expression of fear. This fear was not for herself, but for Ed. What if there is no antidote she thought. “Brilliant isn't it? It's completely harmless. [Eli perked up] It doesn't actually pose a threat until it mixes with the hemoglobin in a person's blood….I wonder how your friend is faring against the poison.” “Shut up! You're the one that poisoned him and you're the one that can provide an antidote!” “Now why would I want to do that? If he dies, you wouldn't be a challenge to kill.” “Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!” “You can't stand thinking about the possibility of his death. You would gladly give your own life, just to trade places. Wouldn't you?” Eli's hair was covering her face. She didn't want that witch to see her tears. “Why? Why…Kill him? He did nothing wrong…[she looked at the woman]…NOTHING!!!” “Yes he did dear.” Eli was curious as to what. “He became a dog! Did you think I wouldn't be able to recognize the Fullmetal Alchemist? He is a legend, even out here. You brought him right to me.” The woman smiled a maniakle smile, one that sent chills up Eli's spine. “Here lets settle this fair and square, eh?” the woman pulled out two swords. “No Alchemy…whoever dies first loses.” “Sounds fair…but you will not beat me, my love will over power you!” Eli charged at the woman, but she dodged. Unfortunately that left Eli wide open. She sliced into Eli's gut. She fell to the ground, and got up very slow. This isn't good…and the fight just started she thought. She tried another swing, but missed. Then she was stabbed on her left side. Eli fell against the wall, and slid into a sitting position. “You aren't even trying are you?” said the woman still smirking. Eli tried to focus her vision, but it was no good. I have lost way too much blood…I am getting dizzy and I can barely stand. She tried the best she could to just stand up. She succeeded but she was very shaky. She then noticed something. The hilt of Meredith's sword was glowing bright. “You…cheater!” “So…you caught it did you.” “Yeah…you're using alchemy…no wonder you can see my moves….using alchemy to amplify your sword skills….how low and dirty.” “Child…you forget who you are dealing with” The woman charged at Eli once again, but she was too fast for Eli to dodge. The woman pierced Eli's stomach. The world swirled around her, and everything went white. She fell to the ground unconscious. Meredith assumed she was dead. “Hmph…good riddance to bad rubbish.” She turned her back on Eli's limp form, and began to fix up more poison. No…I can't die…I promised Al I would be back with the antidote…Ed…I love you and I won't give up! Eli raised enough strength to grab her sword and stand. She took her sword and held to Meredith's throat. Meredith stopped dead in her tracks. “So…it'll take more than that will it.” “A lot more” Eli said between deep breaths. “Tell me where the antidote is and I wont kill you slowly.” “No…Kill me…..find it yourself…” Eli gritted. She made the knife closer to her neck and the woman feared for her life. “Ok..Ok…it's in the cabinet…I swear!!!” Eli lowered the blade and the woman made her move. “Not today!” she stabbed the woman in her throat. That same sickening sound she thought. She walked to the cabinet. And found nothing. “Of course.” She looked all over the room and found a drawer with a lock on it. She used alchemy to open it. Inside she found a bottle marked `antidote'. She had done what she set out to do. She began to wonder if she would even make it back without passing out along the way. She held up the bottle, a green liquid was swishing around inside it. She put it in her pocket and started walking out the way she came. She climbed up the ladder and lifted the manhole cover. I don't remember it being this heavy she thought. She quickly exited the manhole, put back the cover, and started walking across town. Unfortunately, one of the officers saw her. “hey She's over here!” Eli ran down an alley. It was harder that before, each mover made wince in pain. I can't do this the whole way! She stopped running, turned around, clapped her hands, and trapped them in a cage. “Thanks for the idea Ed.” She said to herself. She ran around the corner, but fell to her knees. She was breathing too heavy to keep running. Her eyesight was too blurred to distinguish buildings, blood dripping everywhere. “I hope…Al can't ....follow directions very well.” She used what was left of her strength to get up and keep walking.

“Excuse me Colonel.” Said lieutenant Hawkeye as she pocked her hand inside the doorway. Roy looked up from his desk.

“Yes Hawkeye.”

“Sir the Furher wishes to see you ASAP.” Hawkeye looked at Roy with a look of sympathy. “It's about your niece sir.” Roy jumped out of his chair and almost ran down the hall. He opened the door to the Furher's office and sat down on the sofa in front of him.
“Ah…Roy….Take a cigar.” He handed Roy a box of some of the best cigars in central.

“Thanks…[he took one and laid the box on the table in front of him]…now about my niece.”

“Ah yes….your niece well…”

“Spit it out!” Roy said and then noticed he has out of line. The Furher didn't seem to care.

“We received a report that your niece, Elina Clark, the Element Alchemist, was killed in action in the town of Hasenko. I am sorry Colonel.” Roy's cigar fell out of his mouth.

“What?” He couldn't believe those words. No way…Not my Eli… he thought. He remembered when he had fought with Eli for her to become a state alchemist. He wished he would have done better so that she would loose. But it was too late now. She was gone. Just like her mother and father, she was gone. He got up and walked out of the room, but not before saluting the Furher. He walked down the hall. He didn't even bother to tell anyone that he as leaving early, cause Hawkeye had already taken care of it.

“Brother?” al looked at his brother who was lying awake in his bed.

“She's been gone too long.” Said Ed. His golden eyes had lost their luster. His face covered in sweat. He looked out the window to see the sun rising.

“She left pretty early last night Brother.” Al watched his brother try to sit up. “Don't brother!” Ed didn't listen. Once he was up he started out of bed. “brother if you stress yourself; you'll only make it worse.”

“Al, if we don't find her I'll die anyway!” Ed said as he grabbed his jacket and boots. Alphonse reluctantly helped his brother. They both knew Ed was right. They also knew that wasn't why Ed was looking for her. Ed could tell her didn't have much time left. He could feel the effects of the poison consume his whole being with pain, but he fought through it. They opened the door and looked to their right to start walking towards the police headquarters. There lying on the ground in a pool of blood, was Eli. She had finally collapsed before she even reached the door. Ed was in shock. He ran to her body and held her in his arms. She was the same size so it didn't look awkward. It had been a while since the last time he cried. Alphonse walked towards his brother. He noticed that Edward had tears in his eyes. Alphonse picked up Eli's body and carried her inside.
