Stuck in : Fullmetal Alchemist

Chapter 31 : The end of the beginning

Loneliness' POV

I smirk widely as I extend my arms.

-Come on, do I not look like your friend? I ask tilting my head.

Alphonse is hesitating, but not the elder brother. Tch, that Edward... He's do anything anyway, I didn't like him...

-You're a homunculus, how do you want us not to hurt you? he asked curly making me back in fear.

I'm still not used to fight, I'm just a baby after all, a newborn... I turn around and begin to run away. I can't fight against them, there's something wrong... Is this because of Jane? That brat!! But that's not only this... I'm scared. I know they're too strong anyway... I'm just going to fail my mission, my very first mission.... I laugh bitterly, how I hate myself sometimes.... Then I sigh as I have to stop, out of breath. I feel so useless, so lonely... So nothing.... Envy appears next to me, his hands on his hips.

-Someone's giving up?~

-Help me... Please... I beg him, I don't even know what my skill is...

-Father ordered me not to help you in any way, Loneliness. I'm not sorry.

-Bastard....

-Maybe?~

I look down and he disappears again as the two brothers reach me, a glare on the elder's face. I glare back at them as I stand in a fight stance, ready to defend myself. Then it's all dark...

Jane's POV

I sigh as I take control again, looking at my hands. Edward and Alphonse stop right in front of me, frowning. I look a t them, then down.

-I'm sorry... For that... I apologize.

Edward seems relieved as he hugs me.

-It's you Jane.... Damn, how did that happen?

I look away.

-When I ran away the other day, Envy came and took me to Central, pretending he's help me... In fact I was so sad I didn't even bother to be careful... Then he turned me into a homunculus...

-I'm sorry Jane, it's my fault... Alphonse apologizes.

But I shake my head.

-It's only my fault, I should have trust you more- ah!

I hold my head as I feel the homunculus trying to take the body again. That's such a torture... I now know what Ling feels when Greed is in his body... I wince and Edward outs a hand on my shoulder.

-Hold on Jane, hold on! You can push the homunculus away! he encourages me.

I nod and focus even more. It's hard....

-Give the body back!!

-No way I'd do that! It's mine!! I didn't ask for you to be put here in the first place!!

-And I didn't ask to have a so bad body, but I need it to help Father!!

-You're an intruder!

-And you're a piece of shit, human! Leave me alone!!!!!!

The last chain rips off and I feel a river of pain and loneliness in my body...

Loneliness' POV

This human... Sometimes I can't help but think she's strong enough to push me in the back of her mind, but first, I wouldn't admit it and second, I don't mind. She may scare me, but I still have the guts to dare her if needed. I glare at the two brothers, tightening my fists, before running away as fast as possible again. I don't want to be wounded... It hurts... I'm scared...

***

Finally, I hide in a small and abandoned house not far from the town, my legs brought to my chest and my face hidden in my arms, my whole body shivering in fear. I'm scared to be hurt... To feel the pain... And just because of worthless humans on top of that!! I know I'm a coward, that Father won't be proud of me, but still, I can't help it.... Even though I know I'm immortal.... I heard Envy could change his appearance, Lust has long nails to pierce her preys, Greed has an unbreakable shield... And me, what is left to me? I have nothing, not even the smallest skill ever... I am just useless, but even though, Father trusts me for this mission... Why? What makes him think that...?

Suddenly, I hear footsteps near me and raise my head to see a small kid standing in front of me, his eyes widened. He then walked toward me, his innocent orbs looking at me as if I was strange.

-You're alone miss...? he asked.

I blink then nod.

-Yeah, I am.

Then the color in his eyes change and they become lifeless, like a doll...

-I'll stay with you, I'll serve you and do whatever you order me, he says with a strange voice.

Like a robot... An automat... I smirk and put a hand on his shoulder, standing up.

-Nice~

I just find my skill.

Edward's POV

Damn.... Jane is possessed by a homunculus... What can I do for that? Nothing... Just nothing.... If only she can have control.... Plus it seems to be an unknown homunculus so we don't know its powers.... We have to be careful or we'll die... All of us... I sigh and look at Al.

-What should we do...?

-Capture her and remove the homunculus.

-Not so simple I think... We don't even know her power....

-Her name's Loneliness. She may not have a so big and scary power.

I nod then think.

-But I don't know why, I'm scared.... Al adds after a moment.

I can understand him. I too am scared of this new homunculus.... Mostly because it's our friends' body.... I have to be careful.

Loneliness' POV

Ah so great! With this skill I can build an army of loyal stupid and worthless humans against my enemies! They'll obey me like cute pets or dogs and I'll send them to be killed in my fights! Isn't this amazing? Well I do think so. I smirk and talk to a woman passing in this ode abandoned woods. I then blink, telling her I am alone, and hop! In my small pocket! Aw, so so great to me!! My dear army!'

//sorry, you may have noticed I didn't post last week. Well I was just really tired and couldn't... Anyway, hope you like this chapter!
