A Brother's Memories
A/N: to explain what happened with the ending of the first one, I had left my disk at home and I was at my grandma's at the time. It was 3 in the morning and I was supposed to be in bed 4 hours ago. So I HAD to hurry and get it wrote and on there before my grandma waked up. And forgive the grammar in the third paragraph, I made it that way so you could read the name better.
Summary: Ed had helped his brother once before, now we was going to do it again. With the help of his big brother's research Al tracks down the one man that had made their lives miserable.

Prologue: Sorrow
Sorrow, it seemed to be a common feeling among the Elric family. Edward's life had been full of sorrow as he spent years as a slave to Envy the fake father Alphonse had thought he had. Al in turn had been full of sorrow when he had to leave his older brother in the hands of Tucker. Ed's life was full of sorrow after that, being a slave for Tucker then being abused by Greed on his birthday. For some time it seemed like the bothers were never meant to be happy or together.
But one day something wonderful happened. On the most important day in Ed's life, his birthday, he got the best present ever. Al had appeared at his door with a gift in his hand, afterwards they had moved on to live together. They had vowed never to be apart ever again. But that didn't last long, with Ed caught up in his research and Al in his job they never would have suspected what had happened.
E… he could feel the twinge in his heart, could feel the numbness starting to spread. D… his eyesight started to get blurry and the sounds of the world around him stopped. W… the feeling of emptiness filled his heavy heart and the first set of tears fell from his face. A…. his chest heaved and the small tears turned into sobs as he released some stress. R…. he wished that he could somehow make everything better or change something. D… some how his fingers managed to trace the last letter.
He couldn't bring himself to trace the carved letters of their last name, couldn't even hardly bring himself to stand. Gripping the top of the headstone the seemingly endless flow of tears melted into the earth as he stared at the ground. "I promise you Brother, I promise with all my heart I will find who did this to you." Al wouldn't have it any other way. After everything that had happened Al maybe got to spend an entire month with his brother before he was killed.
Adjusting the sleeve on the almost-to-big red jacket he wore Al straightened up and wiped his eyes. He knew what he had to do, and he was going to do it no matter what.
