Chapter 22 - Attack on Head Quarters .:Rachel Hughes:. "You have to know something." I rolled my eyes. How long have I been in this stupid room? The walls were a faded gray, probably made out of concrete. Thin pipes ran along the ceiling, piles of junk tucked away in corners. A heavy musk filled the air. A basement, I'm willing to bet. My eyes shifted over the group. They were all so random; a dog, a crocodile, a cow... Who thought of mixing those animals with people? And how? Even Tucker didn't make chimeras as good as these guys, and he had help from Lust and all them. I looked to the man standing in front of Al. He's a homunculus too but

Chapter 21 - One is All, All is One .:Rachel Hughes:. "Evening ma'am." I barely glanced at the soldier, pushing open the door to dad's study. The receptionist said she saw dad downstairs, he was going to use the phones but stopped. By then he was bleeding pretty badly though that wasn't what killed him. Something happened between his office and the military phones. Another thing; why did he decide against them? Whoever attacked him wouldn't do so with people looking, so he was relatively safe. What would make him change his mind? Did he find out something that couldn't be shared that way? I wandered to his desk. Scattered pages and closed

Chapter 20 - Life Choices .:Rachel Hughes:. "Morning!" I called, pushing open Ed's hospital door. "Ah, Rachel. It's lovely to see you." I smiled, "Oh, hello Fuhrer Bradley. I didn't think you would be here." He nodded, "Yes, well I wanted to check up on how you and the Elric brothers are doing." "Why are you so chipper?" Ed questioned. I shrugged, "I don't know, a big worry of mine was relieved yesterday. I'd say that calls for some happiness." "Don't be mean brother," Al scolded. "It's nice to see you smile Rachel." "I agree!" dad cried, throwing his arms around me, "My baby's smiles are the brightest in the whole world! Nothing can

Chapter 19 - Created Memories and Bonded Feelings .:Rachel Hughes:. I rolled over, something pulling at the top of my hand. Not wanting to wake up I tugged harder, a numbing feeling washing through my arm. My eyes snapped open, locking on an IV. I let out an annoyed breath, my fingers running over the medical tape. "Glad I was out when this was put in..." The doors opened slowly, two soldiers coming in. "I see you're awake," Ross said. I nodded, laying myself back, "Yeah. How long was I out?" "Just overnight," Brosh supplied. "...How's Ed?" They nodded, "He's doing fine. We just came from his room." I let out a sigh, "Good." "Ma'am,"

Chapter 18 - The Fifth Laboratory Two suits of armor sat in the dark. They weren't allowed to do anything but guard the Laboratory, the secrets within its walls. "Look at the two of you," a voice called from the black that surrounded them. They couldn't differentiate if it was a male or female, but they knew the owner of the voice. "Sitting in the dark." "Well, what else are we gonna do?" 66 asked. His red eyes traveled down to the butcher knife. How he missed the days when he could chop people up. "Our orders are to protect the 5th Laboratory," 48 repeated. His voice had, somehow, remained even, emotionless, though the level of disgust a

Chapter 17 -  The Truth Behind Truths .:Rachel Hughes:. I yawned loudly, stretching my arms above my head, "Man, I'm tired." The four of us walked through the station, Ed and I taking the lead. "But you fell asleep before the rest of us could take our seats," Al said, chuckling. I shrugged, linking my fingers behind my head. "Maybe if you wouldn't have stayed up last night," Ed teased. I smiled, "No regrets Edward. I'll catch a little nap later and all will be right in the world." "You know, you're weirdly happy," he commented. I gave him a sideways glance, "Am I not allowed to be?" He shook his head, "Sure. It's just nice to see you s

Chapter 16 - Home is Where the Heart is .:Rachel Hughes:. "It is quite beautiful here," Armstrong commented. "So peaceful." "Is that it?" I asked, pointing ahead to a two story house. Ed followed my finger, nodding, "Yup." I smiled, running forward, "It's so adorable!" "Wait! Get back here!" Ed's footsteps sounded behind me, slowly gaining. I skidded to a stop in front of steps, an older woman at the top. There was a cry of surprise, something crashing into my back. I groaned softly, shaking my head. "What the hell stupid?" I shouted, locating Ed quickly. "What'd you stop for?" "What'd you run into me for?" I countered. "How is this

Chapter 15 - Small Town Secrets .:Roy Mustang:. My eyes strained against the dust, scouring the street, hoping she didn't fall in. "Rachel?" Hughes' voice rang out, panicked. He moved forward slowly, ignoring Hawkeye's warning to stay back. "Answer me!" he screamed, shooting forward. Her hand was on my shoulder before I'd even tried to move. I growled to myself, cursing the pointless rain. "...Get your ass out of there Eternal!" Hughes and Armstrong met at the hole while nameless soldiers dropped down and began moving away the pieces of rock. The minutes were tense before those three words were spoken; "I found her!" I watched as her bod

Chapter 14 - The Scarred Man .:Edward Elric:. I watched Rachel run away. Everything told me to go after her, but I couldn't. The last thing she needs is me bothering her. "Rachel!" Hughes called. He moved to run after her, Hawkeye putting her hand on his shoulder, stopping his movements. He glared at her, telling her to let go. "Just let her cool off," the 2nd Lt. persuaded. He resisted, but it's pointless to fight with her. Defeated, Hughes sighed, "Fill me in Roy. What happened?" I walked away after that, Mustang's words, Rachel's pain, circling around in my head. "We may be called dogs of the military. We may even be cursed as devils.

Chapter 13 - The Sewing Life Alchemist .:Rachel Hughes:. I walked up the path leading to a two story mansion. "That's his house?" "It's huge!" Al agreed, his voice soft. I rang the doorbell, stepping back. I caught the faintest sound of shuffling to my right. I turned in time to see a large white dog running at us. I moved out of the way, but Ed wasn't so lucky. I covered my mouth, trying to hold back my laughter. "Not..funny," he mumbled. "Yeah it is," I teased as the door creaked open. A small girl, around Elicia's age, was standing in the doorway. Her blue eyes were wide, shining with happiness when she saw us, "Daddy! There are peopl
