"Why isn't anyone answering?" The Colonel says in a fit of anger,

as he stares at the door.

"Colonel, you are higher rank than anyone here. Cant we just go in?" Riza says trying to comfort the Colonel.


"I suppose so, logically yes." The Colonel says sounding as if he should feel shame for not realizing that first.


"Plus, if you look at this door, it appears alchemy has already opened it." Riza says feeling the door, and it creaks open as she was running her hand around the alchemy mark.


"Keen eye, Hawkeye." The Colonel says in a chuckle, teasing the lieutenant.

"This is no time for jokes sir." Riza says seriously, as she makes her way into the large building.


"You're no fun." The Colonel says sounding defeated.


"We can have fun later, remember the task at hand." Riza says creeping up to the wall with her gun in hand.


"Right." The Colonel whispers.

"Alright not, as dense as I find you, I'm sure you know what to do from here." Envy says standing over Edward, who was just staring at all the scared looking towns people.


"You really expect me to do this?" Edward tries to shout, but he seems too burdened by this situation to act himself.


"Obviously." Envy says with a smirk as he is enjoying Edward's despair.


"What if I refuse?" Edward asks q

uickly turning his gaze to the floor.

"Then everyone dies." Envy says sounding way to happy of this situation.


"And how can I trust you will let me and (y/n) go if I do this?" Edward asks not moving his gaze from the g

round.

"Because you are a main sacrifice to us, you cant die just yet. The girl? We wouldn't mind sacrificing her either." Envy says evilly.


"E-Edward.." you mutter as your vision starts to clear slowly. You look around the room, it was the one you and Edward ran out of earlier. You notice Edward looking at you with so much despair in his eyes, he's sitting in front of the transmutation circle and many of the towns people are in and around it. Edward looks like he is going through so much mentally, as though he couldn't even cry, he went way past tears and straight into a deal soul drenching despair.


"I'm sorry (y/n).." Edward almost whispers as he turns his sitting body towards the circle, the towns people flinch a bit. Edward wasn't sure he could do it, but looking at to was enough to make him not care for the people as much.
