In Your Arms (Edward Elric x Reader)

Chapter Twenty

You woke up to the sound of pattering on the window. Lifting your head up, you realized you fell asleep on Ed's shoulder. While blushing and backing up, you hit your head on the window. He was still asleep. It was raining outside. Not storming- just a light, relaxing rain with a little bit of thunder. You liked rain like that.

Everyone else was still asleep, except for Al, who was reading a book. Slouching back down in the booth, you closed your eyes, trying to fall back asleep. But, just as you were about to snooze off, the train whistle blew loudly, and the train started moving strangely.

"What's going on, mommy?" You heard a little girl's hushed voice behind the booth you were in.

"I don't know, sweetie.. I'm sure it's nothing." You heard another voice, probably the mother.

The train stopped its irregular movement and continued.

You sighed and looked out the window. The rain started to pound a little harder, and the train started its weird movement again. But this time, it was swerving.

All of the passengers screamed, asking what was going on. You grabbed on to Ed so he didn't fall out of the booth, and Al grabbed the luggage. Cameron woke up from the screams and kept questioning what was going on. You yelled at Ed to wake up, but he was still sound asleep. How come when you usually wake him up, he gets up so quickly.. but now he's being a hard sleeper?!

The swerving became more violent, and you and Al knew something was wrong.

Al stood up quickly. "I'll go see what's wrong-"

The train tilted, causing Al to fall down the aisle.

"Alphonse!!" You screamed. The lights went out on the train, and all the passengers were screaming.

Ed finally woke up to you holding on to him for dear life. As the train kept swerving and tilting, you fell into the aisle, accidentally letting go of Ed, who managed to stay on. And at that moment, someone picked you up roughly. It was someone in all black- you couldn't really tell if it was a man or a woman, because they had a face mask on and no hair was shown. You could only see the person's deep, dark eyes.

You sensed this person was not trying to help you get up. He quickly grabbed your arms and pulled you up.

"Let go of me!" You screamed, kicking and struggling.

"(Y/N)!!" Ed yelled, going after the person who had you in their grasp. However, with the train still swerving, he fell a couple of times trying to reach you. The person holding you had great balance or something, because he wasn't falling at all.

More men like the guy holding you came from the cart door behind you. All wearing black, covering their skin and faces except their eyes.

Two more people confined you, and it was harder to struggle to get away.

Alphonse attacked the men, trying to reach you, but he fell and the men attacked back.

"LET GO!" You screamed at them again, but they weren't loosening their grip at all.

You noticed that Alphonse wasn't going for you anymore. Instead, he ran for the engineer's cart at the front of the train.
