Sam: (Screams and looses her voice)

In this chapter there is the beginning, nothing more.

"Al, I know this is wrong but I can't sit around and do nothing".

A single strike of lighting consumed the darkened room while the thunder swallowed the silence. Rain hit the slightly cloudy window. The room was a good size and had two beds, one for both brothers. The mood was morbid sense the death of their mother. Ed never accepted her being dead; Al might have but not Ed. Once there father left Ed needed his mother more then ever. So both brothers learned alchemy to pass the time. They both had different reasons for learning. For Alphonse it was because it would seem fun and his brother wanted to. Edward however, wanted to learn to prove to himself that he was better than his dad. His hand was placed on Al's forehead pushing his hair aside.

"Regardless of your wishes i'm going to bring her back," Ed explained stroking his brother lightly. Alphonse turned in his sleep now facing Ed with a faint smile. Unknown to Al, Ed returned the gesture then removed his hand. Another bolt of lighting brightened the sky as Edward headed to the door.

"Don't go this isn't right." Ed glanced over his shoulder, signing in relief. His brother was only talking in his sleep. Turning away, Ed opened the door and tiptoed right out. 'Hold on mother, I'm almost there,' he thought while walking down stairs. Once at the bottom Ed turned to the dining table. The image of his mother's limp body came to mind. By the dining table was where she was found, sweating and panting hard. She had a fever, which burned at touch. A single tear formed in Edward's eye. But before it could produce, he swiftly wiped it away. Ed made a determined grin. Fire burned in his eyes as he brought up a clenched fist. Thunder roared across the land making the sky bawl even more. Bringing his hand back to his side, it regained its original shape. If others heard of his plan they would think he was crazy or even sinful. To Ed it was the only way to become a semi-normal family. But back to business as he continued his trek to there basement. The door creaked opened at the top of the stairs. Al was awoken by the storm and curious where brother was. Sadly Al just missed Ed because he was now on the ground floor.

Ed stood in the middle of the floor. Beside him was a huge vat with all a human is made of inside. Below him was a transmutation circle carved in the cobblestone. The light barley shined from one candle. Heading to a wooden lab table on the right, a worn looking book with the title "Alchemy" layed. It was opened to a page labeled with the taboo "Human transmutations." Ed sat on the stool by the table, reviewing, before being put to the test. A human transmutation was considered a taboo, a sin, whatever you wanted the opinions were all the same. But no one ever told him why it was a sin. 'Why is bringing someone back to life bad' Ed pondered closing the book. As the dust from the book arisen, Ed made his way to a side of the circle. 'Your going to live, you're going to be with us again!' Ed's anticipation grew large that he couldn't take it any more.

"Ed are you-," Al yelled once the basement door was open. He was taken back knowing why Ed left and played by himself daily. Telling him 'don't bother me' or 'go see Winry'. His eye showed fear and panic.

"Ed stop you know you shouldn't being doing this." However Al's older brother paid no attention to his pleas. Without turning Ed stood up and spoke in his defense.

"Don't you want mom back, I know I do," Ed responded starring at the tub.

"This is insane, you know only bad can come from this."

"Try and stop me," Ed said sharply, about to kneel down. But was interrupted by Alphonse slamming his side arm into his brother's hip. The wind from the sudden action made the light flicker threatening to disappear. Stumbling Ed regained his footing. A somber growl came in return.

"You're not going to stop me!" With that Edward smashed his hands into the ground. Then the only light vanished, replaced with a different light. The transmutation circle glowed a light blue. It was so beautiful, and that didn't last long. Yellow stream of power surged so immensely, it thrown Alphonse back, hitting the wall. It knocked our dear Alphonse unconscious. Ed's plan backfired once the yellow light turned into a murky purple light. Ed thought 'why wasn't I thrown back?' Turning down Ed freaked out. He was right next to the vat it the center of the circle! He screamed while trying to scramble to his feet. A light enshrouded young Ed. It was a white light. Standing up Ed shouted "Hello!"

A sense of intowishen emerged as he made a 180-degree spin. A huge black door was behind him. The door was very disturbing with human bones decorating the door's frame like Christmas lights. All the skulls had jaws crookedly smiling.

"Al are you there", Ed yelled repeatedly strutting to the door. Standing only inches away Ed knocked on it slightly.

"I wonder was behind this do-."

Ed had his answer. The closed door a jarred slowly. As it opened tiny eyes appeared. Some had grins while others just stared. Ed was daunted but also intrigued by the eyes and grins.

"Can any of you guys help me? See I tried to bring back my mother so-."

"Hello my baby boy, i'm happy to see you."

Trisha Elric was standing inside the doorway. She was wearing her normal outfit. The purple shirt and white apron that Ed once hugged tightly was there. Her brown hair and caring smile couldn't help but make Edward chuckle in joy. It worked; it really worked.

"I knew it would work, Al was wrong."

Trisha kept her painted smile and brought her hand up. With one finger she made an action for Ed to come over. Ed stepped forward but was taken back. Miniature hands strangled Edward's mother. But Ed continued his advances. His eyes told no story they were completely blank.

"I love you Edward," Trisha whispered reaching her arms out and hugging Ed. This is what he wanted to feel, love. Being in his mother's arms made him whole but also hollow. The tiny black arms that were around his mother now wrapped around Ed. He felt himself being pulled inside but still held by his "mother". The door closed and the scream of a little boy could be heard. Edward was surrounded with knowledge of the world. The hands made Ed watch the mind-blowing hell while tearing the skin around his eyes..

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

A crow awakened the sleeping Ed. It wasn't even light out. The night before left dew on the ground and the fresh smell in the air. 'I had that dream again, I might never get another night of sleep'. Ed propped up, shaking his head letting his wavy hair fall to his shoulders. Now he regrets his former actions. Alphonse was right, and now he has the scar to remind him. His gazed focused on the tattoo on his left arm. It was the tattoo of the Ouroborus. The red snake taunted Edward, and not only that but other markings covered is body as well. Especially the parts covered up by clothes (wink). Ed crawled out of his tent and stared at the sky. It had an orange tinge mixed with a navy blue giving off the morning dawn. It felt strange being in the outside world. Even though he was a Homunculus his feelings were still strong like a humans. 'Now were do I belong?'

So whatcha think? I'll handle flames in this story. Poor Ed he's so confused.

Muska: It's ok I guess /

Sam: Remember don't forget the yummy
