Free Falling

Chapter 38: Finding the Evil Father

We quickly found Mustang and Hawkeye at headquarters and I told them I needed Mustang. Hawkeye wanted to come too. 

I think Hawkeye is there. No she's not! She's not there! I told her no. She shot at me with her gun. I held my hands up in defense and told her she could. Then I secretly and quickly took her guns and locked her in a closet with alchemy. 

Mustang thought I was completely insane and I said 'yes'. He deadpanned, gawked and sweat dropped at the same damn time. That was funny. Hawkeye yelled at me about how I was gonna get it.

I told her Mustang got out alive and not injured to badly. He gets stabbed with Wrath's sword like... once. I think... yeah. It's only once. They're holding Marcoh captive. 

"Let's go!" I yelled as I got into the car. Al and Ed sag in the back with their dad and I sat at the front with Mustang.

"Hey Anna, this is a little off topic but, how old are you?" Ed asked. I shrugged.

"Almost seventeen." I told him. "Why?"

"No reason. When's your birthday?"

"What's the date?"

"May seventeenth."

"Really? I thought it was March. My birthday's in three days."

"What!?" They yelled. I winced.

"Don't throw me a party or any of that shit please. I don't want one." I told them. "Turn here!" I yelled at Mustang. He turned quickly and into the forest!! We went through, weaving through the trees. "Stop!" I yelled again. I jumped out of the car while it was still moving despite the protests from Ed and Al. And surprisingly, Mustang. 

It's funny though. I lost a fricking kidney, and I can still do all this shit fine. Without coughing up blood. Without pain. Nothing.

"Let's go!" I called as I started walking with my bag slung over my shoulder. The four scrambled our of the car and followed me. We reached a small cave and I clapped my hands. I touched the ground and made a whole bunch of kunai's out of the iron as well as a sword.

Hoenhiem stood calmly while the other three coward behind him.

"Relax! They aren't for you!" I yelled. "At least not yet..." I growled. The three screamed and their faces- minus Alphonse of course - turned a ghost white kind of pale.

"Shut up!" I yelled again. They slapped their hands over their mouths. Again, minus Al because he doesn't have a mouth.

Ed and Mustang sweat dropped at me as I gave a sigh and calmed down. 

"Common. Let's go." I told them as I climbed down the hole in the earth. Instead of it being rough and we'll, rocky, it had steps that led down.

"How do you know about this?" Mustang asked confused.

"She was kidnapped by the homocului." Ed answered.

"And when I escaped, this is how I got out. So shut up!" I growled giving Mustang a glare. Ed smirked at the Colonels scared silly face. "You too Ed." I growled again

"You seem like you've got a handle on my sons." Hoenhiem said. "And Mustang." He added.

"You don't want to piss me off. Just because I told them to shut up doesn't mean you get to talk too! Al, your doing great." I heard his head clank in a nod. Good job Al. Good job.

The walls that surrounded the stairs were slick. And wet. Like the inside of a mouth. Gross! I didn't want to touch it anymore but, I had to and I wasn't about to let Mustang screw this all up and make his fire. 

Otherwise, we're dead. And I don't want to die. Death is not my wish. Nope. Not at all. I had the kunai's I made in my sweater pocket and a couple slipped up my sleeves of my sweater. My sword was firm in my right hand while my hand trailed the mouth like wall on my left.

Gross...

"We need to get them all if we're doing this early!!" A voice yelled put as we reached the bottom of the stairs. That was Envy. Son. Of. A. Bitch. Gaaaaah!

"Envy, yes the promised day has been moved but we need to be cautious. We have Marcoh. We just need the other four." Shit. Shit shit shit shit shit shit shit!!!!! 

Ed tapped my shoulder and I looked at him.

"The hell are they talking about?" He mouthed. I shrugged my shoulders and handed him my sword.

"I can get around better by myself. Stay here." I mouthed to them. Ed gasped them shook his head furiously and grabbed my shoulder. I gave him a small smile before pulling his hand off my shoulder and running quietly like a ninja down the hallway.

"So Sloath finished earlier then we anticipated?" Oh son of a peacock and a female dog. That was fricking Pride. He was scary as shit!!!

"Yes he did. We had some complications with a woman named Izumi Curtis but he pulled through." Father said calmly.

Shoot! That's who else we needed! 

"But we have her too don't we?" That was Envy.

"Yes. She is with Marcoh." I silently sighed. We needed her. If she wasn't here it wouldn't work.

"Father, Dark came back." Pride said plainly. I tensed and turned around from behind the pillar. There was a freaking giant eye! Pride you, are scary as SHIT!!!

"Dark. Please come out." Father ordered.

"Son of a bitch." I said quietly to myself as I peered from behind the pillar.

"Come here my daughter." He said with a smile and held out his hand. I hesitantly took a step out from behind the pillar and shadows wrapped around my body. 

"Or should you say sacrifice Father?" Pride asked. He had his stupid suit on with a stupid smirk on his stupid face because he's stupid! This wasn't going as planned. 

"Where are your friends Dark?" After asked as Prides shadows pulled me closer. I struggled as I got closer. When I was close enough her stroked my cheek. 

"I'll never tell you." I snarled. "They're far from here."

"Ah fear. I love how it fills your eyes. There's more then any other human I've used." 

He started to circle me and play with my hair. Twirling it. Flinging it from side to side. I stiffened and kept my face expressionless. 

"You know emotions show through the eyes." Father told me. I could imagine Ed struggling quietly in Mustang and Al's grip. "And love can make people a puppet." A pain struck through my stomach. I looked down and one of Prides shadows had gone through me.

"NOOOO!" I heard Ed yelled. The shadows released me and I fell to the ground in a heap. "ANNA!"
