Chapter 5

Hey. Did you notice that I change the cover for this story, do you like it or did you like the other one? That's all I wanted to know, so go and start reading this chapter. Thanks.

Ed's POV two weeks earlier

Ed opened the door to their hotel room. He walked in with Al close behind. Al moved to the bookshelves to pick a book while Ed went to the bedroom. They never said anything to one another which made Ed a little sad. Ed opened the door to the bedroom and walked in. He turned the lights on and closed the door. Ed leaned heavily on the door. Things have changed between the two Ed could tell and he hated it, but most of all a few months ago Ed would have never lied to Al, he would never go behind his back, but that is exactly what he was doing.

Ed stopped leaning on the door and moved to the desk. Ed searched the desk until he found what he was looking for a pen and paper. Ed sat down on the chair and began to write on the piece of paper. While doing so Ed thought about what he was doing what he was going to do from that point on? It felt unusual and wrong going behind Al's back. Al should know what was going on, what Ed was going to do because Al was usually the one that stopped Ed from doing reckless thing. Ed finished writing the note. Ed folded the piece of paper and put the note on the desk where Al would be able to see it. He got up off the chair and went to his suitcase and changed. He put on a black top, black pants and put his hair up.

The reason he got change was so that he didn't look suspicious walking out of the room. He didn't what Al to figure out that he was up to something and ask about it. Ed walked to the door; he looked back to the desk where the note was. Ed took a deep breath. He wondered if he was doing the right thing. If keeping Al and everyone out of this, well for a little while at least. The note will buy Ed time. Ed knew Al no matter what Ed told him Al would still look for him.

That made Ed smile a little bit knowing that no matter what happened Al would always be by his side. Then, the smile faded. Ed thought about what he was going to do right now. He knew that he was probably going to kill someone. Their blood stained on his face and hands. Ed shivered a little at the thought. Ed wished he could feed before he left, but he was still getting used to sleeping during the night so he didn't have time to feed. He was now regretting it. He should have gone out before they left. If he killed someone Al was going to hear about it and instantly know that it was Ed. Ed took a deep breath.

Part of him wished that he could tear up the note and forget that he ever wrote it in the first place, but there was another part of him that knew he was doing the right thing. Ed couldn't do anything about it now he had to get going. There was no turning back now. He was going to find Michael and find out why he wanted him, but Ed wasn't going to let any vampire use him to get their freedom back. He wasn't going to be used as a tool. Ed opened the door and turned off the lights. He saw Al sitting on the couch reading a book. Ed walked past the couch.

"Al, I'm going out for a walk." Ed said calmly.

"Brother, you don't have to lie to me about where you're going". Al said, putting down the book and looking at Ed.

Ed didn't look at Al he was looking at the door. Ed had completely forgotten. He was used to lying about where he was going it was strange to have someone know exactly what he was doing. Ed frowned. He didn't like someone knowing that he was going to feed some innocent person and that they might die.

"Sorry Al I guess old habits die hard". Ed muttered as he opened the door and walked out.

Ed closed the door behind him and sighed. He just hoped that he would have time to feed on someone and get out of town before Al finds a note. Ed walked down the hallway and stairs. The only noise he could hear were the soft snoring of people that were staying here and his automail leg squeaking. The hotel was still and quiet, it almost felt like he was back in central, when he couldn't walk in the sun.
