X-ed out in blood by xshatteredwingsx
Hello everyone! This is my first time putting anything up, so keep that in mind as you read. Before you go any further, this is going to be yaoi (male x male relationships are involved) So if you're not into that kind of thing, I suggest you stop now. I appreciate all reviews, including flames. It's rated M for sex , language, and violence/gore (there might be rape, self mutilation, and other things involved later on though). Ed x Roy pairing.
Full Metal Alchemist and all the characters do not belong to me. Wish they did tho... The story line is completely mine though.
Ed slowly walked down the street towards the library. He knew that he shouldn't be out alone this late, but Al had just noticed that he had left his book there. About a month ago , Winry had sent a book to the younger brother, and Al had never let it out of his sight since receiving it. But it seemed that he had accidently left the book on one of the small tables in the library. Ed sighed and recalled their conversation earlier.
"Ed!" Al had squeaked, jumping back and forth from foot to foot, the metal clashing loudly, " I left the book! I forgot it!"
"Hmm? What?" Ed asked half-heartedly, not really caring what Al had to say.
"I left my book in the library! I have to go get it!" Al had moaned, irritated that his brother didn't give a shit about the book Winry gave to him.
"So? We'll drop by tomorrow and pick it up. The library is already closed." Ed had answered without even lifting his head up from the complex alchemy book he was reading.
"But brother! I need that book!" Al had begun to fidget, his metal fingers clicking together impatiently. "By tomorrow someone might have taken it!"
Not wanting to hear Al whine any longer, Ed had decided to go out and get the book for Al. By the time Ed got back, there was no doubt in his mind that Al would be asleep.
The only sound on the street was the soft pounding of Ed's boots on the stone ground. He would make Al pay him back for this. Maybe if he could get Al to buy him food- yes, food. Lots and lots of food. Anything sweet would- Ed stopped. He had heard someone's footsteps behind him. Ed quickly and fearfully turned around and looked down the deserted street.
"Noone." he muttered as he turned back and began walking again, returning once again to his thoughts of cookies and cake and every other sweet thing he could think of.
Finally, Ed had make it to the library. Quickly, quietly, he leapt up the steps and entered the building. The library was never locked at night, although Ed wondered why they would leave so much information available to anyone who could sneak in. Sure, it was all just piles of paper stacked onto shelves, but there could always be someone who wanted to get important and confidential information for themselves.
The whole building was quiet. He quietly closed the door behind him and walked between the rows of books. Ed went to the back of the building and disappeared behind a huge row of books.
"Al should have left his books back here" Ed whispered to himself as he looked around for the book. It could be anywhere. He looked around the tables in the back and noticed a dark shape under one of the tables. The book! Al had probably accidently knocked the book on the floor in their rush to leave that afternoon and accidently kicked it under the table. After all, Al wouldn't have been able to feel the book had he accidently kicked it with his metal foot. He knelt down next to the table and reached towards the book. As Ed grinned and picked up the book, he suddenly heard the front door to library being quietly closed. Ed froze. Was there someone inside the library with him?
"Hello?" Ed called out as he turned around the corner of books. Not the smartest thing to do if there was a murderer hiding and waiting for him to pass by so he could strike. But Ed knew someone was there. He could feel their presence as he felt a chill run quickly down and back up his spine and settle at the back of his neck.
"Is anyone there?" He called out as he slowly walked back to the front of the library, glancing all about in a frenzied fear. What if someone really was there? What if they wanted to hurt Ed? As he neared the front doors, he glanced behind the stacks of books. Someone was there. He knew it. Ed had finally walked completely up to the front. No one. No one at all. Ed sighed. He could have sworn someone was in there. The uneasy feeling he had did not get better as he reached the door.
"Must be my imagination," he muttered under his breath as the cool metal of the door touched his hand. He pulled on the handle. It wouldn't budge. "No!" he yelled impatiently as he dropped the book onto the ground and pulled on the handle. "Open. you. stupid. door. I just want to get out of here!" he yelled as he pulled as hard as he could. But it wouldn't budge. Little did he know, someone had really followed him into the library earlier. As he pulled on the handle as hard as he could, Ed didn't hear the footsteps coming up behind him. In fact, he hardly felt the dark figure behind him smash his head before darkness overtook him.
Yes, I know, kinda short and not so good. Hmm... is the end suspenseful at all? Or do I just suck at that too . Anyways, I'd appreciate reviews and I'll really try to get another chapter up soon. Hopefully in a few days. Keep your fingers crossed
