~| Philosopher's Secret |~ [Book One] ||Chapter Three||

RECAP:
"Wh-who is that?" Ed asked.
"That is the eight Sin, Curiosity." Saya answered.
Okay, okay! I get it! Now on with the freaking story!!
"What?! But-but-but she looks like--" Al started but he couldn't finish. He was to horrified.
"Kitty." Saya answered for him. "I know. But what is she doing here?"
"What do you mean 'what is she doing here'?! She's alive and walking like it's a stroll in the park!" Edward cried.
"No, she's not Ed. She has the look of vengance in her eyes." Saya said taking note. Curiosity looked angery. Saya couldn't figure out why.
"Kitty, why are you angery?" Saya asked.
"My name is not Kitty." she said.
"Fine, Curiosity. Tell me, why are you angery?" Saya asked calmly.
"I want revenge for my death. Edward Elric killed me and I want him to suffer." Curiosity answered rughly. "You are not my target. Now, out of my way or I'll kill you too."
"Just try me." Said Saya as she got in her ready stance.
Curiosity was too quick for Saya and attacked first. She just ran by Saya and Saya felt a hot liquid run down her cheek. She touched her face and looked at her hand. Saya saw blood on her fingertips and knew this was going to be hard to defeat Curiosity. But Saya had to keep Curiosity away from Ed. Saya looked behind her and saw Ed on the ground, already at Curiosity's mercy. Her arm was in a blade and she was standing over Ed, who was laying on the stoop of their home. Al was in five slices of armor and couldn't move.
"NII-SAN*!!" Al cried.
Ed had a terrified look in his eyes. Saya ran over to them as fast as she could, but it wasn't before Curiosity had plunged the dagger into Ed's left shoulder. Edward cried out in pain as he held the area around the would.
'Why am I unable to kill him?' Curiosity thought as she withdrew her hand-made dagger. 'It should be easy, but something is holding me back.' Curiosity backed away to examin her work. Edward cringed in pain as he held his would.
"Nii-san! Nii-san, I wish I could help you..." AL said sadly.
"YOU BITCH!" Saya screamed as she placed her right hand in Curiosity's back. Out of nowhere, a black darkness when through Curiostiy's body. Curiosity screamed in pain. She fell to the ground and held her stomace. She grinned as she looked up at Saya whose face was expressionless.
"Hehehe... It's gonna take a lot more then that to kill me." Curiosity said as she started regenerating.
"Yeah, I know. But killing you isn't my porpose. Letting you live is." Said Saya, still emotionless.
"Why would you let a person who wants to kill your friend live?" Curiosity asked as she stood up.
"Because," Saya answered. "That same person is still my frined, even if she doesn't relise it yet." Curiosty looked surprised. 'What is she talking about? It she calling me her frined?' Curiosity asked herself.
Suddenly, there was an explosion that could be heard across the nieghborhood. Saya looked in alarm towards the site of it. Saya knew it was from Bree and Pride's fight.Curiosity got the same feeling and she ran off into the night. Saya looked at Ed and Al. Ed seemed to be able to move quiet normally, except for the limp arm. He got up and moved slowly towards Al.
"Nii-san, you shouldn't put so much strain on yourself." Al insisted.
"Yeah, I know. I'll lay down as soon as I fix you." Ed explained as he placed his hand on Al's armor. In a blue light, Al was in his normal, fixed, armored body.
"Nice job." Saya congradulated Ed. "You finally got the hang of not clapping your hands together."
"Yeah." Ed agreed as he sat down on the stepps. "I cant belive that happened just now. She was so fast. I didn't even have time to blink!"
Saya looked concerningly toward the explosion site. Ed knew she was worried about Bree. And since Bree was so headstrong, she would try to fight with her last breath.

"Alright, let's go." Edward said, getting up.

Saya wasn't too worried about Ed's injuries. True, it did pierce him right through to the core, but Ed did have worse injuries.
......
Bree stared into the eyes of Pride as he lifted his sword steadying it once again to come in for another attack. As he came closer Bree clapped her hands together and pushed them onto the ground causing a gust of wind to pick up and it sent Pride back only about 10 feet.
"Damn, he will not stay down." said Bree clutching her shoulder as the bleeding had worsened and she could feel it beginning to take its toll. She did't care though. It was too much fun to see Pride being beat by her.
Bree conjured up a gust of wind was created again and this time hit Pride's sword. There was a loud explosion of fire and smoke. Saya and the others heard the explosion.
"Ha, missed me again." Pride hissed as another wind attack flew passed his head.
Bree smiled "Did I!?" she said as the building right behind him fell helplessly on top of him.
Bree stayed on her guard just to be sure he didn't come back, like the last time.
She was right as not even a minute later Bradley emerged from the rubble and instantly attacked. Bree had no time to react as she and Bradley's sword became one.
*gasp*
Saya arived at the scene to find dust and rubble everywhere. She looked around and found Pride standing over Bree's limp body. Suddenly, Saya couldn't move. She was bound by frustration and anger and she wanted to kill Pride.
"YOU BASTARD!" Saya screamed. She attacked up to him with incredable speed and yet, he dodged it easily. Saya threw another attack at Pride and he dodged it.
"I'm sorry girly, but I don't have time to play with you. I have important business." Rpide said before he disapeared into the shadows.
"Hey! Come back here!" Saya yelled trying to get to him, but she triped over some rubble and he got away.
"Dam..mit..." Saya breathed as she stood up. Saya looked over at her fallen friend and sighed. She walked over to Bree and examined her wounds just as Edward and Alphonse came into the scene. They stared at Bree who had a very deep cut in her left shoulder. She was loosing alot of blood so Saya ripped her sleeve off of her shirt and wrapped it around Bree's shoulder. As Saya felt her friend's body becoming cold, she began to feel numb.
"Bree?" She said, shaking her friend so that she'd wake up. "Bree, c'mon, this isn't funny!" No response.
"What's going on Saya? Why isn't Bree saying anything?" Al asked worriedly.
Ed hung his head and cursed under his breath.
"Why do things like this always happen?First Kiora, then Sora, then Mom, and Kitty, and now Bree?" Edward said quietly. "DAMMIT!" he yelled into the night sky.

Bree opened her eyes to find she was not where she was a moment ago. She looked around and noticed that she'd been here before. But, Bree wondered why she was here in the first place.
"Hello Bree. Long time no see." said a voice from behind her. Bree jumped in surprise when she heard it. She looked behind her to see someone she thought she would never see.
"Kiora?" Bree asked as she got closer tot the little girl that stood in front of her. The young girl nodded and Bree felt happiness suround her. Bree when up to the little girl and hugged her tightly.
"Oh my God, Oh my God! You're alive!!! You're okay! You weren't killed!" Bree cried as she picked up the young girl and twirled around. Kiora didn't wince, or even act like she'd been touched at all!
"Don't let your eyes fool you. If you saw Sora here, would you say the same thing about him?" Kiora asked Bree directly. Bree was so surprised by the question that she stopped spinning and set the girl down.
"Whaddya mean? Sora died, I saw it with my own eyes! He got sick--" Bree paused when she relised something. "Wait a minute- how did you know that Sora died? He died after you did."
It was true, Kiora was killed before Bree, Ed, Al, Kitty, and Saya's eyes. She was slaughtered in front of the whole town as a matter of fact! It happened when she was seven,a year before Sora died.
"Never mind about that." Said Kiora as she waved the subject away with a frown. "You shouldn't even be here, Bree. It's not your time yet. Truth said it was okay that I brought you home, so I'm gonna." Kiora said in a child-like tone.
Before Bree could say anything else, like 'whose Truth?' Bree found herself in the arms of her best friend and was surounded by Ed and Al.
"Wha-what happened?" Bree asked as she sat up. Everyone looked at her, astounded.
"We should be asking you that Bree!" Ed exclaimed. Al nodded in agreement and Saya was just silent. She let Bree stand up and stretch her stiff body.
"Looks like she came through after all." Saya said quietly enough so that no-one could hear her.
wtf just happened?
