Transmuting Love ~ (edXwinry FMAB fanfic)

Part 46 - Allow Me to Introduce You to My Father

[Ed's View]

We were walking for a long time. We went further and further. It has been silent for a while. We finally approached a door. A very large door. It had many intrinsic designs on it.

"Finally! Get behind me Ed!" He ordered in a whisper. I followed "mustang's" orders. Suddenly Envy yelled "NOW!"

I was knocked on the head by something unknown and I went unconscious.

...

I woke up in a gigantic room. Strange pipes were tangled all over and they all seemed to connect in one place, but I couldn't turn around to see where it led to. I looked down to realise why. My body was caught up in a stone-like rope, clearly transmuted into shape. I tried to struggle, but it seemed unbreakable. I tried to clap but my hands were tied too. I was hanging from the ceiling and standing on a small platform made from the same stuff that was wrapped around my body.

"The boy's awake," a smooth and eerie voice said.

A vicious laugh followed. "Can I eat him now? Can I?" the voice asked.

Where am I again? Oh yeah... Envy attacked me and then I must have passed out.

"No. We need this one alive, remember, Gluttony?" The smooth voice said again. I looked down.

A familiar woman with purple eyes and lips looked up at me with a serious face. She wore a long black dress that exposed her chest and her hair fell down her back and shoulders in black waves. I remembered her name as "Lust".

Next to her was a really fat, bald guy who was drooling weirdly. According to Lust, his name was Gluttony. They must work with Envy, and the other homunculi.

"Where's that green haired bastard?" I yelled down to them.

"That idiot?" Lust sighed. "He left ages ago. Said he was gonna go run some errands," Her voice was flat and whispery.

Could he be going after Winry? Or Al?

"Let me down," I ordered. Quickly a blue light flashed around the platform, and then slowly, the stone platform lowered until I was at ground level. But I was still wrapped in the cement-like entanglement.

Who just lowered the platform? It wasn't anyone of those 2.

Suddenly, the large stone door burst open and Envy came strolling in confidently, smirking at me all the way.

"Envy!! Get me out of here so I can kick your sorry ass!" Envy stopped walking over to me. His smirk turned to a serious stare.

"Hey, idiot! Watch your language around Father," He put one hand on his hip and turned his head to the side.

What the hell does he mean by Father? Homunculi are artificially made. There isn't any actual "Father" or "Mother".

I looked at the same place and saw a man sitting in a chair, also where all the pipes connected. The man had a dead serious, almost angry, look on his face and wore a long white robe (not my type of style but if that's what you're into...). He looked familiar. Too familiar. Almost exactly like Hohenheim. But he wasn't him. And I was thankful for that. But no, it wasn't Hohenheim. This man's hair was more a bleached like colour instead of a weak gold. And his eyes were different, still cold and beady, but they didn't have a strong but guilty look in them, like Hohenheim did.

"You're not Hohenheim," I said, more so to myself than to him.

"Hohenheim..." It seemed he wanted to laugh but didn't. "That's a name I hadn't heard in a while,"

"Allow me to introduce you to our Father," Lust spoke up again.

"I don't see the resemblance," I smirked at Envy.
