-Big sis we have a problem! Al shouts.

-What's happening?!

I stand up quickly and prepare myself to fight.

-It's Ling!

-Ling?

-He wants to eat more!

I stay silent for a minute, looking at him, then facepalm.

-That's it?!

-B-But....

-You're so panicked because that walking belly is still hungry?! Damn the Xingese prince!! I was busy!!

-So-sorry......

Pissed off, I stand up and brush my clothes.

-He can eat as mush as he wants.

-F-fine....

He leaves the room and I am about to do the same when I Envy catches my hand.

-So, what can you give me? he smirks.

-Food, idiot.

I remove my hand curtly and slam the door behind me before heading toward the table.

-Lets make things clear, you're not using me as the stone and I won't obey you or anything. Oh, you can call Lan Fan or whoever you want, I don't mind. You will do what I ask you to do.

-I think you're a little disrespectful toward a prince, miss Elric, he noted lightly opening his eyes.

-I don't care. I am the one who saved you and is feeding you right now, so you can also be a little more grateful.

-Jeez, the first people I meet and can help me are bad with me....

I shrug and sit down. I look at my brother, giving them a sign as Ling waves the air. The "be careful" sign. Then I discreetly cross my middle and pointing finger, meaning "fight". At the same time, the window breaks and Lan Fan appeared with the grandpa, attacking us. I bend down and kicked the door, undoing the ties around Envy.

-Listen, if you try to escape, I'll find you and keep you tied for the rest of your long life. So now help us beat them please.

-No way I'd do that for you, humans! I think I'll run away~

I take a rope and wrap it around his wrist.

-And I think I'll tie you with me during the fight, so you'll help us.

-Cruel!

-Thanks.

I punch Lan Fan, sending her toward a wall, as I clap my hands to create spikes and Ed does the same from behind her. At the last time, I change the spikes into a jail and imprison her. Al is fighting against both the grandpa and Ling. At a moment, I am coming to help him, but Lan Fan breaks her jail and falls on me with a dagger. I barely block with a wall and she attacks me again. She's fast.... Too fast. Nothing comes to my mind. It's just blank and empty of any kind of plans I can be using right now. I'm trying to think and fight at the same time, and lose a little my attention, but the xingeses girl notices it and throws her weapon toward me. I want to dodge, but too late. I wait for the shock to come, but nothing ever happened. Opening my eyes, I see Envy, standing in front of me, removing the dagger from his bleeding shoulder and not smirking at all. Lan Fan backs a little, ready to fight again.

-Envy...?

-You're important for Father, don't think I did that because I care.

-Thanks anyway.

-Yeah.

He turns his arm into a blade and walks toward the girl, threatening her with it, but as he is at some meters from her, he stops and looks at me. I frown, not understanding.

-I can't go farther.....

-Huh?

-The rope....

I look at his hand to see the wrist I tied earlier and giggle.

-Oh sorry, I'm coming, I'm coming.

I walk toward him and he can finish what he began.

-You don't hurt her, or any of the people in this house, or I'll personally take care of you. After all,  you're useless for us, so why wouldn't I kill you? I can even do it now...

-Stop Envy. What you don't know is that I need her for my own plan.

-Your own plan?

-Yes. I'll defeat your Father before the Promised Day.

-So why do you keep me as hostage?

-Cuz I need you too.

-Big sis behind you! Al shouts.

I turn around but too late again. Envy is already stabbed by Ling and his blood splashed on my cheek. I whipped it away, disgusted, before creating a weapon and pointing it in front of me.

-I just said I needed him, so don't kill him too many times goddammit!!

After a moment, somehow, Ling pierces me with his sword, making a hole in my belly. I gasp and wince in pain, waiting for him to remove his sword and regenerate, but he doesn't.

-I have an immortal prey, we can go back to Xing.

Oh, if he thinks so....

-No way!! Stop kidnapping me for God's sake!! I'm tired of that!!

I use my last energies to kick him hard in the belly and send him fly with his sword. Red sparks appear around me as I begin to heal myself.

-Top of that, I'm the in.y one who can actually take her~

I blush and slap him hardly.

-Don't say things like that.

-Fine fine!

We tie all the Xingeses and put them on the couch.

-We'll be nice with you, but we want to make sure you do not escape. So here we go.

-If I become emperor, one day, I'll write a book called The woman who tied an emperor....

-Do what you want, I don't care, Ling.

-Heartless....

-I'm an Elric.

-How can you talk to the prince like that?! Lan Fan exclaimed, angry.

-He's not my prince, first. Then you better watch your tongue, because you might be a little useful in the original story, but in mine, you are just as useless as a normal citizen of Central got it? And know that if I need pawns, you'll be one of the first sacrificed in a fight.

She swallows and I guess she understands.

-Jane is not kidding for sure! Envy whistled.

-How can you say something like that Jane? Ed asks.

-Because I'm perfectly aware she's not gonna die. So now, should we begin the plan?

-Wait Jane, it's based on-

An entire wall of the hotel suddenly disappears.

-.... Gluttony's arriving.....

-So what? He's here now, no?

-How did you know he'd come so quickly?!

-Just hoping he would~
