Ed's Inner Demons
Edward Elric, 15 years of age, only 5'0, small for his age, but why care when he has kept something sinister from his brother, Alphonse. The incident happened the night his brother was born and Ed has kept that secret within him for 12 years. Staying strong for Alphonse, knowing he would have to tell him the truth at some point, but when. * How am I going to tell the truth to Alphonse? * he asked himself.
As he laid on the hospital bed from a panic attack earlier in the day, Ed thought of how to tell his brother the secret he dreaded for so long. Just as he was about to fall asleep again, his dear brother, Alphonse or Al for short, comes into the room. Ed closes his eyes dreading the moment. "Brother? Whats wrong?" Al asked worriedly. Ed looks to his brother, filled with fear of what his reaction would be.
Al looks deeply into Ed's features, noticing both his hands shaking. Ed looks down, fearing the worse. "Al...there's something...I've been meaning to tell you for a long time now...but...I've been too scared to tell..." He stutters. Al listens, wondering why Ed would feel the way he feels. "What is it Brother?" Al asks. Ed grips the bed sheets tightly. "On the night you...were born...dad...he...hurt me very badly..." he starts, stuttering.
Al gasps, remembering his brother screaming. "It was dad?" he asks, barely believing Ed. "It couldn't be Brother." Al exclaimed. Ed grips the bed sheets tighter. "Mom and dad were arguing over his abusive drinking problem...I came down and...saw dad smack mom...he looked towards my direction, grabbed my arm and slammed me against the table..."he stutters again, his eyes slowly filling with tears. "Mom screamed and tried to get him off...but...dad smacks her away...knocking her out..." Ed slowly start to stutter a lot more as his sadness and agony starts to build up. "He turned back to me...tore my pajama bottoms off and...slammed into me..." He sobs out.
Al listens in shock, watching Ed tremble. Eds eyes tremble as he continued. "Each time he went faster, I screamed until he would hit to make me shut up...After a while he released and let me drop to the floor..." he finishes crying. Al puts a hand on Eds shoulder to comfort him. "Brother...Why didn't you tell me before?" He asks quietly. Ed hugs himself. "I was too afraid that you would take dads side and abandon me..." He tells him.
Al hugs him tightly. "I can never abandon you Brother...how will we get our bodies back to normal if we aren't together?" He pets Eds head as he spoke. Ed touches the metal armor that Al's soul was attached to. "Do you hate me for not telling you the truth..." he asks with a little fright behind his words. Al tightens the hug. "Of course not...you're my brother and I'll always love you as my brother no matter what." he assures him.
Ed relaxes in Al's arms unsure of what to say next. Al rubs his back softly. "Brother? Have you been holding in your tears because of what dad did to you?" he asks cautiously. Ed jumps and looks down sadly. "Yes..." he answers him. Al tightens his hold. "Where would you cry so I wouldn't see?" He questions. Ed thinks about it. "In the bedroom when I am alone, since Winry doesn't know either." He tells him. Al looks down at him. "She doesn't know either?" he asks. Ed shakes his head.
Al thinks. "Well you will have to tell her sometime Brother...you can't keep this in forever." he explains. Ed looks down. "I know..."
