The Fullmetal Father

"Woof"

Edward stepped out of the vehicle and onto the country soil. He scanned there surroundings and found a rather large, old looking country farm house. It had been painted red and white, although it was starting to chip.

They walked onto the front porch and Roy knocked the door. After a minute if silence, Roy lifted his fist to knock again, but before he could the door opened. A small girl appeared out of the gloomy darkness of the house. She had very long browny blond hair and was rather short.

Roy cleared his throat and spoke. "Hello, I'm colonel mustang, were looking for a Aubreelle?" He asked.

The girl tilted her head slightly and spoke. "Yes, that's me" she said quietly.

Ed looked at the girl In confusion. How on earth was this girl going to help us?!

"Uh Aubreelle -"

"Please, call me Aubre" Aubreelle said with a smile.

Alphonse smiled back and nodded. "Okay Aubre, are your parents home?" He asked.

Aubrey's face fell as she look down at her feet. "Um no...there gone.." She said.

Me and Alphonse looked at each other sadly.

Roy cleared his throat again and spoke. "Well Aubreelle, were here because we have heard from a reliable source that there is a women living here, may we see her?" Mustang asked.

Aubrey smiled and led them In side the dark and musty home.

It was am antique looking home. Most of the furniture had been covered up with white sheets, and the old curtains left streams of light in through the windows, showering the place with microscopic dust particles. The place looks like it Haden's been lived in for years.

I guess things got tough for her, all by herself.

Aubrey led them into a dark hallway. Where she pointed to a manhole in the roof.

"She's in there, but shooosh...she's sleeping"

Edward looked at the girl with confusion. Did she not know what innocence was?

Roy looked at Riza with a knowing expression. She took Aubrellees hand and pulled her back, while Roy put on his gloves.

"No, wait what are you doing?" Aubrey panicked.

"This women in your house, she's very bad. We need to take her away for your safety" Roy said rather coldly. "Elric's, open up the hatch and get in there" he demanded.

Ed and Al looked at each other, both sighing. They always got the bad jobs.

Alphonse pulled the hatch open and motioned for Edward to climb up before him.

Edward went to argue, but Roy's death glare told him otherwise. He reluctantly climbed up into the roof, trying to ignore the sounds of Aubrellees struggles.

Ed looked around the dark musty room which was full of useless junk. A chest full of old clothes, painting after painting covered in dust. Even and old rocking horse. 'How could anyone hide up here?' He asked himself. But hidden away in the dark corner of the room, peering from the darkness shone two yellow piercing eyes, those same eyes that shine flames into Edwards soul, staring back directly at Him. Ed swallowed hard and slowly reached his hand out, almost touching her...

Almost grabbing her...

So close...

Until Alphonse helped.

"Have you found her yet!" Al called, popping his head up into the room.

Edward wasn't quick enough, innocence had pounced onto Edward and Alphonse. Pushing them both out into the hallway and onto the floor. She had changed again into a fierce beast, almost like a lioness.
