The boy was running through a dark ally, walls covered with blood and gore of animals, trash littered everywhere you looked. The smell was overwhelming to an extent that the people that lived there didn't ever want to leave, for the outside world was what smelled so bad for them.
He was out of breath and his cloths were torn, his big metal brother following swiftly behind him, as quiet as he could for a big armored suit.
The older boy stopped short, it was a dead end. He looked up to see the top of the roof illuminated by stars and the dark night sky overhead. He looked back at his bother, the armor nodded.
The blond clapped his hands and set them on the wall, and all at once steps formed, it looked as if they belonged there. The two didn't waste any time and began to run up them. When they got a the top they crouched down and waited.
The soldiers soon found the dead-end and the stairs along with it, and mindlessly started to climb. When there were all about half way up the blond yet again clapped his hands and the steps protruding from the wall them sank back into the dirty concrete. The men all fell, cursing and mumbling. The boy smiled, got up and motioned for his brother to follow, then took off into the night.
~xxxxx~
"Brother, how long are we going to have to keep running for? It's so tiring," the armored suit seemed to have a bit of a whine in his voice, and he was sitting on a rock in the small park that they decided to take a rest in. The older blond boy was lying lazily on the bench beside him.
"For as long as it takes Mustang to work it all out. And knowing him, he's taking his sweet little time, with no care in the world. Alphonse, we have to keep running, if we stop, I'll probably be sentenced to death, and you would most likely be sent off to a research lab. There's no telling what they would do with you there."
"But Ed! You aren't guilty," the younger brother yet again had a small whine in his voice, but this time each word was stretched out. You could really tell how young he was.
"In the eyes of the state I am ever so guilty as Greed is. Even though I didn't actually kill the man that he was keeping hostage, I did nothing about the matter, I was so dead-set on killing him. I didn't follow my duty to save the man, even if it was a lost cause, and now they know about our secret," Edward had stood by as Greed killed a man that he once knew then he flied, Edward then followed with all haste as his mind was set on killing the homunculi. When they got into a sparing match, Al's helmet came off and the Military standing close by saw that he had no body. Ever since, they have been on the run.
"But.. It's wrong," Al was still sitting on the rock when both boys shot up from hearing a sound of movement from the right. They both began to run, yet again. They shot through the park and into a crowded street of late night walkers and those that were going to bars for the night, along with the homeless. Edward put his hood up and walked along side his brother, no destination in sight.
A/N- Okay, so this is a lot shorter than I thought it would be, but it's just a small introduction to the rest of the story. I promise with all my heart that the next chapter will be longs, this is kinda leaving you hanging. I really hope that you all take a liking to my story and review and alerts are always welcome. Sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes.
