Kokoro no Yume

Warnings: child abuse, pedophilia, swearing, violence, cannibalism





They were searching the laboratories, but there was no sign about someone being there since it got abounded. The rain was still falling from the gray skies and they time was running away. If they don’t find the child then it would be too late.



“This has no use, that was already the ninth laboratory and nothing…that isn’t fair…” said the Luthenant frustrated as he hit a near tree with his fist. His hand begun to bleed but he didn’t care, but then a hand touched his shoulder and he looked at the general.



“Live isn’t always fair, but then you must continue your way. We will find her.”



“I wish I had your optimism, but you can’t understand what I feel.” The hand suddenly left his shoulder and he turned to the other man who was staring up at the gray skies.



“Believe me, I can. I myself have also two children a boy and a girl, both are now ten years old.” With that said he walked over to the others.



-------------------------------------



They searched for hours when they finally reached the eighteenth laboratory. When they entered they were already hit from the disgusting smell of rotting flesh and blood. Almost everyone wanted to throw up, but they needed to continue.





A little girl, almost a woman

So pretty, so young

Sweet dress, shining hair

Dancing alone above the meadow

Smile on her divine face

Red lips and green eyes

The most beautiful creature

That mortals have ever seen





When they reached the inside they hearts stopped everywhere were body parts in the cages mostly death horribly looking creatures who were once human. Some of the things that were still alive were eating from the corpses, they horrible munching and the sound of ripping flesh and organs filled the air and mixed with the stench of death. It was a living nightmare.



“This…this is horrible….” Whispered one of the men, he was still wery young and fresh from the academy.



“We need to split in three member groups, search everywhere.” Ordered Ed as he went with Sloth and Dorchet deeper in. the other soldiers nodded and did the same, but they were also afraid, afraid of the horrors awaiting them and disgusted how human could do something like that.





But her eyes were empty like a well that has run dry

The mad child is dancing her endless dance at night

Dancing to her death, to the dark open grave

Knowing nothing about her own destiny





They were searching as Dorchet suddenly stopped in his tracks.



“What is it?” asked Sloth.



“The Luthenant shoved me a ribbon that his daughter liked to wear, I can smell her.”



“Then show us the way.”



Dorchet lead them to a door which opened in a bedroom. Ed stepped inside first, his heart stopping. Dorchet and Sloth followed shortly after him, but they also froze in shock from the terrible scene that should no one ever see. There on the bed laid the small body of a girl around eight years old. Her brown hair was messy and partly stuck together because of the dried blood and sperm on it. Her clothes were torn; her skin was covered with blood pressures, bite and burn marks and deep gashes which were caused by a knife. Her eyes were lifeless and glassed over. Ed walked over to her and with a shaking hand took her slim wrist. A deeps sorrowful sigh escaped his dry lips. Suddenly the horrible image of his daughter laying there was flashing through his brain, but he pushed the thoughts away. Anger and sadness burned in him.



“She is still alive, but…it would be much better for her if she would be death…” he said in a bitter tone. “Someone of those bastards raped her minimum ten times, she was to young to defend herself, and her screams only reached death ears or ones who even enjoyed it….” He was even disgusted from his own words as he stroke softly through the little girls hair then wrapped her in his jacket and took her carefully in his arms. She was like a perfect, but broken doll. Behind him had Dorchet and Sloth tears in they eyes.





One soul has gone

Lost in somewhere

The young mind has fallen

Into misery

Hey little girl

What is in your mind?

Can't you stop this dance you're dancing in the night?





The soldiers arrested four men who said that they were ordered to create chimeras, but they don’t know who. The Luthenant wanted to ask more, but then he saw the eyes of some of his subordinates fill with horror and they faces pale. He turned in the direction they were looking his heart broke in to peaces and his eyes filled with tears as he saw his daughter. He immediately run up to the general.



“Penny…what is with her?” there was no answer; the room got filled with death silence only the munching of the chimeras and they death breath could be heard. Then the man broke together on his knees and begun crying. He understood, he understood that he would never see his daughter like her old self again.





But her eyes were empty like a well that has run dry

The mad child is dancing her endless dance at night

Dancing to her death, to the dark open grave

Knowing nothing about her own destiny





“Who…who was the sick bastard who did this to my little angel!” he screamed in rage, his eyes filled with hatred.



“Well, she is a to cute little thing.” Said suddenly a dark haired man grinning madly at them.



“You…you bloody bastard! I will kill you for that!” he screamed and begun punching the man, but he only laughed as blood begun to flow out of the corners of his mouth. Four of his men needed to hold the superior that he doesn’t kill the man, even if they wished to do it themselves.



“That has no use, it will not satisfy your pain…” said Ed suddenly after he gave the childe Sloth. “But for what you did you must pay the price.” His tone turned ice cold and the sin and the chimera had the feeling as if they would have heard someone outside. “Come.” He said and everyone followed. When they reached they outside they all saw a young man with long emerald hair and violet cat like eyes standing there in the pouring rain.



“Envy?” both creatures said in union and the others looked at them.



“Are the homunculi all named after sins?” asked one of the man and Sloth nodded.



“He belongs to you…” Ed’s tone was colder as ice and a sadistic grin spread over his lips as he grabbed the rapist and threw him in the mud only a five feets away from the sin”…Monster Envy…”





Then the same cold grin appeared on the others lips, showing his sharp white teeth. Then suddenly a blue light begun to surround him and he begun changing. When the light dimmed most of the soldiers and the prisoners backed a bit away, they eyes filled with horror as they looked up at the gigantic reptile like creature with three pair of legs long hair and many souls sticking out of his skin whispering the words pain, blood, revenge, and death like a cold and threatening echo.



A loud scream filled the silence of the mountains, as it dyed down the sun finally forced his way through the dark clouds.





The morning has come

Before our eyes

The young beauty lying

Under the godless sky

The mad child is sleeping

Her empty sleep

And finally leaves

To eternity





“Ed, I thank you. I will try to live and help my child.” The Luthenant said as he held his daughters breakable body in his arms, looking up at the sky. ”But I will tell you something, long time ago I thought that chimeras and homunculi are monsters, but now…I don’t know who the monster is and who the human…”





But her eyes were empty like a well that has run dry

The mad child is dancing her endless dance at night

Dancing to her death, to the dark open grave

Knowing nothing about her own destiny



---------------------------------



All four of them were sitting in the train which would take them home. They hearts were heavy. Dorchet only stared out of the window, his mind far away in the past. Sloth was sitting on his side reading to get her mind away from the memories of the last hours. Ed was also looking out of the window, Envy lay in his arms to comfort his lover, he knew how sensitive he could be in such situations and he understood. If that would happen to Dante no one of the two of them could ever forgive them selves. Was it really that wrong to want to live without pain?





No more grief no more graves no more sorrow or pain...no

We must all make a vow no blood will be spilled

We'll die in our beds and no one will be killed

Live as God intended all wars must be ended





When they reached they home they were already noticed by a little bird which landed right in front of them, turning to a little girl.



“Mommy, Daddy, granny, uncle Dorchet you are back home.” She said smiling as she hugged her father. Ed returned the embrace and tears begun to fill in his eyes. “Daddy, why are you crying?”



“It is nothing sweetheart, I only missed you.”



“Dan, where is your brother?” asked Envy.



“Pride is by uncle Al and aunt Winry, you will never guess the big news.” She said smiling.



“What sort of news sweetie?” asked Sloth as she kneeled down beside her son.



“That aunty Winry will soon be a mommy to” she said and a little smile appeared also on the face of the others.
