Maria's pov unedited, also written whilst disoriented 🤺

I'd open my eyes abit, they were slightly slumped as they felt heavy. There's pressure on my abdomen, i feel searing pain there and hiss out in pain. I'm on the ground..Jim doesn't seem to be here anymore.

"Maria.." I hear a familiar voice, i sit up slightly to see Ed and he's holding pressure to my stomach. I was shot...I remember it all now.

"Where are we..." I ask, my throat felt very dry and i had a pulsing headache. I licked my lips and leaned against a metal frame.

"Still the circus." He states, removing the cloth from my stomach to examine the wound. I cry out quietly, he sends an apologetic look. I stare down at the now crimson stained cloth, there was quite a lot of blood pouring out from the injury..

"Ed who were those people.." His face goes abit cold as i ask that, he gulps abit.

"Just some colleagues.." He mutters, so i could barely hear him. I leave it at that and i look around. I notice some people still trying to scurry around, i hear some shouting from afar.

"Am i going to be alright?" I ask, gesturing to my wound. He nods,

"It seems that the bullet is somewhat lodged in, we aren't quite sure who shot you...I think the coast should be clear so i'll get you out of here." He proceeds to help me up, i bite my lip from the pain and he helps me stand.

"Wheres Jim?" I ask, he rolls his eyes abit.

"Jim left with Harvey, not sure where those two went. Probably to go negotiate with those bad guys." He states, his voice back to normal.

I nod and he helps me walk, we take a turn and accidentally end up to those bad dudes again. I widen my eyes as Ed shakes his head.

"Well well well, look who it is..Hiya Riddle Boy." One of the men said, this one had a cane and spiky black hair.

Was Ed really involved with these people? I'm so confused as to how i didn't ever realize this shit. (A/N. (; A/N.)

"Ed..." I try to call out, i apply more pressure on my wound as i feel my knees wobble.

He deftly grasps my forearm and holds me up with one hand, exceptionally well at that. He kisses my temple before turning towards the man with spiked hair.

"You're not-" Just then a bright light takes over and everything crumbled before my eyes.

A/N

I literally died and i'm so sorry, life is chaotic right now. There's seriously so much going on and i feel i've let down readers idk rip🚶‍♂️
No forreal i'm sorry about that, i'm not sure when i'll post next. My life is like a fucking weird film right now. It feels unreal.
It's hard with school and mental health too, there are so many ideas in my head right now. It's hard for me to focus when i try to write as well.

But yeah i'm not sure when i'll post. Also not me adding extra unnecessary shit in every chapter and almost always ending them with cliffhangers 🙄🔸🚶‍♂️💔
