Full Metal Alchemist: Untold Truths
Chapter 1
Home Coming
Her sad eyes gazed around the empty room, searching for something. Anything, to comfort her. It had been three years since he left, or disappeared rather. He had been only fifteen and his brother only a year younger. Both of the brother's lives had been half lived for they were being punished for misusing, Alchemy.
Winry look out of the open window so much had happened three years ago, so much. Edward had disappeared and Alphonse was still trapped in a metal suit. All of this because of the philosophers stone. But where was Edward? His brother was searching all over the world to find him and not even a trace of him seemed to still exist in the world.
She sighed deeply to herself, she and Edward had left things in a bad place and now he was gone, perhaps never to return.

Ed starred out the open lab window. The sun was setting now. He had been in the lab working with chemistry for over three years now. There seemed to be no way to get back to his own time, he wasn't even sure how he got to this time in the first place. But he still had to try to get home.
"Ugh there's nothing here!" he yelled, frustrated, tossing a chemistry book aside, "There is nothing about time travel in any of these old books!"
He sighed heavily and looked at the messy desk in front of him; books, papers, and flasks of chemicals were laid out in a messy fashion in front of him.
"I must have missed something, I know I must have, there has to be something here," he said shuffling through the papers and books. A small red book was shuffled out of the bottom of the mess. Ed slowly picked it up and opened it.
"Alchemy!" Ed gasped, "Real alchemy!"
For three years he searched for something to take him home, something he knew how to do. Yet all he ever found were books about how alchemy was fake and was first started in some year long ago. But this, this was the real thing!
Ed drew a transmutation circle with a piece of chalk and stood back to admire his work.

Winry went to close the open window; the sun was now setting into the blue horizon.
"Where are you Ed?" she asked aloud.
Silence followed this; she had only half believed it might work that it might bring him back. Alphonse was in the other room sitting at the table. He had tried so hard to find his brother and it almost seemed like it was time to give up; time to go on with their lives.
Winry looked back out into the new night sky, one last time to say goodbye.
She closed the door to her room; it was almost painful to see Alphonse like this, so unhappy so ready to die. Though deep inside both Winry and Alphonse had lost a piece of themselves when Ed disappeared.
"Where are you?" Winry whispered softly.
"What are you talking about?" A familiar voice spoke out behind her. Winry's eyes grew wide and she turned around to see Ed standing there right there, in front of her eyes.
