Chapter Sixteen: Edward Elric

On a dark and semi-peaceful night, the only thing that could be heard was the few zombies that were walking down the street. The streets were filled with empty cars that had been abandoned at the beginning of the outbreak, the houses were now abandoned, all except for one.

In this house was a twelve-year-old human girl named Sophia Peletier and a homunculus named Kazuo who was known as Empathy until he was given the name Kazuo by a little girl he met one day named Kaede. Unlike the rest of the homunculus Kazuo was not born from one of the seven deadly sins due to father not wanting to have what he called the imperfections of humans, but instead, he was "born" because of father's hatred of feeling anything other than nothing for others.

Kazuo had long thick raven black hair that reached his midback it was currently in a low ponytail, ocean blue eyes, and slightly tanned skin. He was wearing a tight black tank top, black cargo pants, black combat boots and his homunculi marking was on his right peck. He had powers like the other homunculus, and like Envy, he is able to transform into someone else or any animal he wanted although he chose not to, he had started to for Sophia.

Kazuo was currently looking out of the window of the home he was staying in for the night. He thought about life before the outbreak started with his brother Greed, his boyfriend Edward Elric, and his best friend Alphonse Elric who he was trying to find. They had gotten separated a week after the outbreak, and he could only hope they were still alive and okay, well he hoped Ed and Al were. He knew Greed would be fine.

Even though he was lonely at first it wasn't so bad anymore since he wasn't alone anymore, he glanced down at Sophia who was asleep snuggled under the covers of the master bedroom. He had found her three days ago while she was hiding from some zombies which she called walkers in the woods.

At first, he had assumed she was a stray animal wandering around until he saw he slip backward and fall. He still doesn't understand why he didn't hesitate to jump in between her and the walker especially since the zombie bit him and he was forced to tell her what he was when she watched his wound heal as if nothing happened.

After that, she refused to leave his side, and now he was helping her find her group while also looking for Greed, Ed, Al, and hell maybe even Winry, Lan Fan, Mei, Xiao-Mei, Roy, Maes, and Riza but he could do without seeing Father, Scar, Wrath, Envy, Pride, Sloth who he was sure was now asleep somewhere and maybe Lust. He smiled a little as he imagined Roy playfully flirting with him with Ed getting angry and jealous about it while Al tried to calm him down.

Sighing sadly he closed his eyes and fell into a light dreamless sleep.
