Ed sat looking out of the barred window of his cell. He watched as the moon moved across the sky as the hours passed. He'd done this every night since he was thrown in here.

Six years he made a promise that he would be home. Six years ago he proposed to his love. And six years ago, one of native tribes took him captive. He'd been sitting in here since. Always wishing to wake up and having this nightmare end. Never more in his life had he wished more for that Colonel Bastard.

Ed sat there washing his face in the river when he heard a pair of foot steps behind him. He turned around and saw a little boy standing there watching him.

"Homo Albus?"

(Translation: "Whit Man?")

Ed looked at the boy curiously. The boy walked up to Ed and smiled. He handed Ed one of the fruits he was holding. Ed went to grab the fruit went his hand was swatted away by his guide. The guide pulled out his gun and pointed it at the boy. The next thing Ed saw was the boy look at him pleadingly and then those same eyes widdened as the bullet shot through his skull. Ed tried to stop the guide but was frozen in shock that the man could pull a gun on such a little innocent boy. THe boy couldn't have been more than four years old.

"What the hell was that for?" Ed turned and punched the guide.

The guide glared at him. "That was a boy from one of my rival tribes. Don't ever trust them."

"He was just a little kid!" Ed was furious.

That's when the kid's father came out of the woods looking for his son. He looked at the two men standing there and the down at the ground at his son's corpse.

"Mea filius?" ("My son?") He glared at the two men and started to yell comands. Then a bunch of the hunters came out of the woods and surrounded Ed and the guide. The boy's father walked up to them. "Aequare. Occidere eum." ("Rival. Kill him.")

A spear was shoved through the guide's chest. Ed just stood there and watched the boy's father. He seemed to be the one in charged. 'Must be the chief.' Ed thought.

The Chief picked up his son's body and looked at Ed. "Album homo cum nobis. Nos in casula. Passurus mortem pro filio." ("White man comes with us. We through him in the cell. He will suffer for my son's death.")

With that they put a spear to Ed's back and shoved him towards their tribe. With that they threw him in one of the under ground cells. The only light he got was from the little barred window. That night he looked out the window and watched as they set the boy's body on a pillar and set it on fire. Letting his ashes float through the night air.

At night he'd sit watching the stars and pray. He had never believed in a god but he was hopeing someone was listening. All he'd ever ask for was one thing. It never changed from night to night. He lifted his hand to the night sky as if he were to grab one of the stars.

"Please... Just wait for me... please...I promised I'd be back..."

Please send me a review and tell me what you think. I don't want to be writing and it seem like nobody's reading it.

Well Ed's being emo now.How is winry and al reacting to his disappearance?
