Ed blinked and his face flushed again. "So I take it that you two are going out." Came Lt. Hughes voice. Edward slowly turned his head to his right and found Hughes with a smile on his face, "Come on now, you can't deny it. Your face is as red as a your coat.." Cursing under his breath Ed tried to come up with some kind of retort. "Where's Al at." Maes rolled his eyes, "Don't try and change the subject."
"Look it's your daughter!" Cried Ed pointing behind Hughes, "She's here?" He turned around to look. Edward took this chance and ran. Passing by both Eve and Shara on his way out. Maes came running after him, "Hey! Get back here! We're not done talking about you two!" Ed snickered as he ran from the building and out onto the streets of Central.

Shara and Eve went silent when they heard Ed shouting and when Ed raced past them Shara waved to him, knowing he probably wouldn't see it. When Maes caught up with them, both girls started laughing and took off at a run. "Sorry, can't stay for pictures!" Eve called back to Hughes. Once they were outside the office, Eve took a sharp right and hauled Shara off after her. When they were loat among the buildings, they started making their way towards the mess hall.
Shara sighed softly "So you really locked yourself up in that office the entire time I was gone?" Eve nodded and Shara sighed again. "Sorry, I found something out about myself that could really end up messing things up big time." Eve eyed Shara worriedly and Shara gave her a reassuring grin "Don't worry, everything's under control." Now it was Eve's turn to sigh and then she ruffled Shara's hair and led the way to the food that waited for them.
After the two ate they finished catching up on what had happened. Eve showed Shara her new appartment and Shara was able to get a fresh change of cloths, a short nap and a lecture from Eve on why she shouldn't do what she did. After the lecture the two headed back to Eve's office and said their good byes. Eve wouldn't be off work till late, so Shara wanderd about aimlessly for a few minutes and eventualy ended up before the Fhurer's double doors.
Shara studied the doors intently and then tok a few steps toards them as if drawn by an un-seen force. Her hands lingerd on the door knob, wondering if she should just go away or open the door and slip in. After a bit of hesitation she turned the handle and cracked the door open slowly. Sloth noticed the door open a bit and then when it closed again she called Pride.
Shara beat a hasty retreat down the hall and slowed her place dramaticly to tiptoe past Roy's office and then took off again, dissapearing before the Fhurer could find out who'd been taking a peek at his office.

Edward walked through the halls sluped over. Lt. Hughes had sent for him. He couldn't help but feel that it was because of the way he slipped away from him earlier. But he had to in order to free himself from the mockery Maes was trying to put him through. Ed grumbled as he passed through the main offices.
"Love? I doubt it." he grumbled to himself. But for some reason the thought seemed to dwell in his head. Blood began to rush to his cheeks; they began to flush. "Damn it! Quit that!" he yelled at himself. He turned the corner and ran into someone. Shaking it off, Ed noticed that it was Shara. There was a look of concern upon her face. "What's that matter?" he couldn't help but ask.

Shara backed away from Ed and then cast about. She shook her head and dragged Edwards backwards and out of sight just as the Fhurer's door opened. Pride and Sloth looked down the hall and then returned to the office and closed the door behidn them. Shara let out a soft sigh and then looked over at Ed "Don't worry about it Edward..." She said offering him a happy-go-lucky smile.
"If you happen to run into Al could you tell him to come..." Shara straightened and got a serious look as a shadow came into her view and she stood still as the Furher stood there. She turned her eyes to Ed, pleading for some help of somekind. If the Fhurer found out she'd been peeking she'd get in trouble no doubt about it.

Ed slowly looked up to find Fuhrer Bradley standing behind Shara. He smiled and gave a small friendly wave, "Good evening Fuhrer Bradley. It's been a while since we've last seen each other." Indeed it had been. It after he had passed the State exam since they had last been in contact. "Ah, that it has Full metal." Answered the Fuhrer softly.
King Bradley looked down at Shara in front of him, "Dragon Alchemist, I see that the rumors were true. You've returned to Central since your disappearance a year ago." He tilted his head slightly, "Why did you leave us without word. You were a felon. Awol for what you did."

Shara studied the Furher and then tilted her head back and then to the side, putting both hands behind her back and pressing them together and then inching her left hand towards the wall beside her. She paused a few inches from the wall, wondering if the Fhurer would catch onto what she was going to do and she knew she was probably going in more trouble.
Shara considerd the extra punishment she'd receive for what she might do and then she narrowed her eyes and withdrew her hand from the wall, her chin still raised. "I left to protect the ones I love Sir" Her voice sounded cold and stiff, but not threatening. Shara tiltened her head do she could see the Fhurer out of the corner of her left eye as she watched Eve stride up to them, a confused look on her sister's face.
Shara's head snapped back to the Furher and she stared him down, executed a sharp salute and turned her back on her superior. "If you'll excuse me, Eve and I have things that need to be done." Shara reached out and haulled her confused sister off after her.
---
Sweat beaded on Shara's forhead and dripped down the sides of her face and off her nose. Sparks flew as steel edges meet eachother and tore away, a bladed quarter staff was held in Eve's hands, while Shara used her own transmuted blade and a long knife.
They'd been going like this for several hours eversince Shara had so rudely stalked out on the Fhurer. Eve finaly had the staff wrenched out of her grip and cast aside. Eve put her ahnds up in surrender and Shara sheathed the knife and transmuted her hand back to normal. Eve picked up the staff and handed it to Shara and they picked up their coats and started back for the barracks. "You'll have to sleep on the couch." Shara nodded "I know..."

Rapid footsteps padded the soft crimson carpet of Central Headquaters. Edward was rushing through the building. Colonel Mustang had sent for him half an hour ago. "Damn he's going to kill me. The run in with the Fuhrer must of done this." Thrusting the door open , Ed walked into the Mustang's office. Looking around he was nowhere to be found. Placing his hand on his face, "He's going to kill me."
"Ed." A hand touched his shoulder causing him to jump, "Easy there." Said Mustang with a chuckle, "It's about time you got here. " Closing the door behind him Mustang went over to a map of Central, "You probably haven't noticed, but there have been recent murders of State Alchemists around the city...It's as if they have been imploded."
A cloaked figure watched Eve and Shara walk towards the barracks. Pulling back the sleeve on the ebon cloak revealed a slinder arm identical to Scars, "Now they pay." it was a female's voice, "Hey!" She called out tp them.

Shara kept walking as they were caled out to, Eve's head twitched, but she didn't look back either. As soon as they reached the barracks and went inside Shara pulled Eve off to the side and whisperd harshly to her "I've learn much while I was gone Eve, I will not talk to anyone I don't know." she said and let go of her sister's shoulders. Eve studied her sister intently and then gingerly rubed her shoulders.
Eve cast a glance over at the doors and then they both headed off silently for a completely diffrent part of the building and slipped out the back door and headed for Eve's office. They rached the building and went inside and up to Eve'd office. Shara cast a glance at Ed through Roy's open door and continued on. When they reached the office, Eve opened the door and sat down at the desk and got back to her papers. Shara sat on the empty desk across from Eve and sang a soft song that sprang from her memories...
"Sasuneac, sasuneac, sasuneac

Ymm uv so sasuneac..."
Eve smiled and listened as Shara sang, when the song was over she nodded and Shara tucked her chin to her chest and fell into a light sleep, exausted by her physical exertion that afternoon.
Later that evening Shara was sent for by the Fhurer. She came into his office and sat on a chair her eye moving to his eye patch and then back to him. Time passed and they talked in short sentences and single words. Finaly before Shara left she leaned close and saif softly "You know very well what I am and I know very well what you are, but let me tell you one thing, just one. I make mistakes..."
She said softly and her soft voice picked up a tune as she stalked from the office and down the hall.
"Fro cruimt E famlusa, ouin tyshydeuh? Fro cruimt E mecdah, du aqbmyhydeuhc? E's hud bnadahtehk, du syga ed cesbma Dno du pa cusadrehk aqbanesahdym

Shara made it out of the military grounds and went to the river almost automaticaly and she sat on it's banks, thinking. Just like as if she'd been fighting with her sister. The river reminded her to reflect and re-think her past. Shara sighed and lay down on the banks of the river. the last thing she knew she was dozing off on the hard ground while the air grew chill and the sky darkened and the moon came out.

"Damn!" Said the girl to herself, "It seems that people aren't as trusting as they used to be." She pushed aside amber locks of hair as she stared vacantly with brazen eyes. Her prey had got away from her. But it didn't matter. There was always a chance to get more later. A greedy smile appeared on her face.
Night fell on Central and she was on the prowl once again. She spotted a young soldier heading towards the barracks. He simply passed her by, simply regarding her as a street urchin. "Excuse me." She spoke softly. The soldier turned to see what the matter was.
There came screams of pain and cries for help. Following after came the sound of bones snapping and then silence. "What was that?" Quickly Ed took to the window with Al on his heels. From their room they spotted the girl standing before the body. "It's the killer!" Ed raced from his room, "Wait bro-" it was too late. Edward was already gone. He raced out of the barracks and came to the spot where she had stood, "Damn it!" he yelled.

Shara awoke to find herself beside the river, her mind was still half asleep and she was groggy. Reluctantly she got to her feet and blinked, her eyes quickly adjusting to the low light environment. Shara shook her head softly and then started off, back towards the military grounds. She barely noticed anything untill she came upon the barracks where a man lay dead and then she looked up to find Ed standing there.
Shara rubbed the back of her neck and looked seriously confused. This didn't look right with Ed standing over a dead body on military grounds. Eve too had heard the scream and had followed after Ed. She had brought a light with her and walked up beside Ed, She held the light up and as the light fell on Shara, Shara threw her arm up and flinched away from the light. Eve quickly lowerd the light and Shara tried to blink away the bright spots that floated across her vision.
Shara waverd and suddenly sat down with a grunt. Eve walked over to her sister and offered Shara her hand "What happened to you?" Eve demanded softly. Shara accepted her sister's hand and got to her feet again, leaning on Eve for support. "I really don't remember..."

Ed looked at the body with disbelief. It was as if Shara and Eve weren't even there. Death was something that was held in common with life. But it seemed to happen everywhere he and Alphonse traveled in the world. As if triggered by them just being there. Gripping his chest, Ed could feel the pain of sorrow building in his heart. "Monster." left his lips softly as he stared vacantly.
Troops from the military quickly came and surrounded the area. Blocking off any civilians from preceeding any closer to the crime scene. The body was carefully removed as Ed was questioned of what he had witnessed. Things didn't seem to add up for him. Being the only one on the scene before anyone else made people question him. Rain came down in waves. Lapping gently away at the scene. The blood left behind only to be washed away in the cracks of the city streets.

As the body was carried away and the rain started falling Shara looked from Ed to Al and then up to her own sister and then looked around... "But there's only one..." She chewed on her bottom lip. Shara strided over to Ed and pulled him away from the reporters and poeple aking him questions and the pulled him off to one side. "I'm going to track it down and kill it..." She said and then looked over at Eve.
"Today someone called out to me. I ignored her, but maybe she had something to do with this? I haven't heard or seen her before today..." Shara said looking about and then Shara shiverd, her cloths not doing much to keep her warm. "I'm going back inside..." she mumbled and walked towards the barracks with a reluctant Eve following behind her.

Thoughts danced in Ed's head. He barely noticed the rain falling softly on him. "I'm sorry." he muttered to himself. Deep inside Fullmetal blamed himself for what happened. Memories began to plague his mind as he slowly followed Shara and Eve through the crowd of people. The time that Winry had nearly been killed by Barry the Butcher; it sent chills down his spine.
Ed looked like a drowned rat as he entered the building. Stepping aside from Eve and Shara, Edward left them to be alone in his ponderings. The scene replaying in his mind. Blood spattered against the cobbled roads. Central's soldier looked as if his head had erupted. It seemed so familiar. "Scar."

Shara tramped up to Eve's room and nabbed the first peice of paper she could find and folded something out of the paper that looked like a crown. She put the crown on the door frame in the hall. "When he comes he'll know where I am..." Eve gave her the most confused look as Shara dashed off down the hall. When she got to Ed she gave him a soft smack with the back of her hand to make the boy pay attention and then stated. "I'm going hunting..." and promptly left, knowing that he would most likely follow.
She walked through the rain not caring if she was soaking wet and cold. Shara was all blood thirsty, the blood lust arising from the anger she felt for many unknown reasons to everyone around her and some she didn't know herself.

'Going hunting.' the thought seemed to sink in slowly. Edward couldn't help but show a small smirk. Shara is a girl who'd set her mind to anything and accomplish it even if it meant her own death in doing so. It was this resolve, this very personality that Ed seemed to like about her. It reminded him abit of how stubborn he is.
Getting up from the spot he was resting at, Edward followed after Shara, "Wait..." he spoke out to her. Straighting his coat as he caught up to her Ed walked quietly beside her. His gaze drifting from side to side until it he looked at her directly. "She's changed so much in the time that we were apart." Thoughts of what she told him on that day; that she was a humunculus. It didn't seem to matter to him anymore.
