Chapter 2- Cold, Hollow, lifeless Nightmares
Al then found himself in a dark place no light; no wind nothing it was just a void. Empty and hollow and lifeless. Alphonse stood there in the darkness alone and scared he began to breath heavy until he turned around and heard a sinter voice behind him.
"Hello boy." The voice said cruelly as Alphonse faced the darkness where the voice had come from yet nobody was there.
Alphonse let out a gasp as he backed away still staring at the darkness. "Hello, w-who are you?" Alphonse whispered nor really shore he was talking to anybody. He backed away a little more.
"Many names… But you will know that later… You will know that soon enough if you make that choice." The voice muttered as it hit Alphonse with its sinister tone.
Alphonse continued to back away as his breathing became heavier as the fear began to show from this place this dark place and the faceless stranger with its cruel words and tone. "W-What do y-you mean? Please let me go…"Alphonse muttered as he turned ready to run away from the origin of the voice. The voice made out a fake laugh as it watched the young boy turn and run into the eternal darkness.
Alphonse's breathing was heard and rough as he ran through the endless darkness desperate for an escape.
Until he met a wall…
The wall was cold and hard, Al's finger tips brushed against the solid and cold wall as he came into contact with it and wanted to know it he could move it out of the way.
He let out a sigh and placed his palms against the surface. "Please let me out! Please! I don't like it I hate it…. Please let me out!" Al demanded the lifeless metal that his hands pressed against as he attempted to push it away. Sadly the strength of a four year old was futile in making the great metallic wall to move even a inch.
Al frantically pushed again and again and again with no effect to pushing the wall away. His hands balled into fists as he frantically slammed them against the wall making a hard metallic sound. His face burned with panic as he tried to force the wall away.
"PLEASE LET ME OUT!" Alphonse shouted repeated frantically towards the emptiness praying for an answer. Tears flow from Alphonse's eyes as the streamed down his face to the invisible ground. Alphonse then let out a scream as his crying became more so.
His fists slid down the wall as his body fell to his knees and his head rested against the wall with his salty tears staining the wall. He let out small breaths as he softly continued to pound the wall knowing it had no effect. "Please…. Whoever you are I want to go home…. I want Brother I want Mommy… Please let me go home…." Alphonse asked softly to the emptiness in his gentle tones as he closed his eyes wanting to open them and see his mother and Edward looking over him.
"Ha ha…. I think I've left you waiting long enough haven't I boy? Face it you're trapped." The voice said as it let out another sinister laugh as a loud bang came from behind Alphonse.
Alphonse stood up and turned to the darkness his back against the metal wall as his body shook and the tears continued to slide down his face.
The noise continued as it came closer and closer towards Al as he let out a whimper. "Stop it. Stop it please….I want to go home." Alphonse yelled at the top of his voice.
Then Suddenly Alphonse's eyes saw what had caused the mind numbing noise.
A second wall made of the same metal as the first. Just as cold just as lifeless, it moved slowly towards Al both sides of the metallic texture reaching no end. Alphonse backed away to the wall as far as he could.
He outstretched his hands as the new wall came into contact with the palm of his hands. The wall was cold and hard. Alphonse let out a yell as he tried to push the wall away alas his attempts were futile. "No please! Please don't do this please Stop it Please!" Alphonse's lungs burned with his screaming and plead for the wall to stop.
Alphonse began to slide down to his knees again still trying to push the wall away. Then another sound coming toward him from above. He looked up to see another piece of metal coming towards in at an incredible speed.
Alphonse reached one of his hands above his head as it came into the contact with the metallic plate to no effect the metal pushed itself down until it touched Alphonse's fore head.
"Please I want to go home Mommy, Mommy, MOMMY!" Al yelled as loud as he could pleading someone would hear him and let him out.
"Remember this boy… If you make the decision, remember your brother did this… He did this to you. He took everything that made you human away..." The voice muttered in its sinister tone before everything went dark.
"Al wake up, Al, Al, Alphonse…. AL!"
Alphonse opened his golden eyes to see Edward standing over him a worried look spread across his face. He looked down at his little brother letting out deep breaths.
"Brother?" Alphonse whispered as he looked towards his brother. Edward softened his face as he looked at his brother and his return to the consciences of reality.
"Hey…. Are you okay? You were asleep and screaming." Ed muted as he moved back a little, Al sad up and took in his surroundings. He was in his bed in his and Ed's room, in his house. He looked around just to make shore noticing the lamp at the side of his bed had being turned on presumably by Ed when he realised something was wrong.
"Alphonse are you okay?" Ed muttered as he placed a hand on Al's shoulder. Al jumped at the feeling of his brother's hand on his shoulder and looked Ed blankly like he was just empty.
"Brother? I-I I thought I was…." Al muttered then he became silent as he felt tears slide down his cheeks. He launched himself forward towards Ed and hugged his older brother sobbing into him and shaking violently. "Brother I… I was so scared… That voice… That cruel voice… It said it said…" Al muttered as he continued to sob into Ed.
Ed looked down at his little brother and let out a small smile. He returned the hug and tried to comfort him. "Al its okay it was just a bad dream. It wasn't real… It's okay." Ed said as he continued to hug his little brother to try and calm him down.
"But... But Brother it said it was your fault… But it's not true… Nothings you're fault. It said you did it, it said you took me away from myself…What does it mean Brother?" Al muttered his voice was muffled from sobbing into his brother.
Ed looked down. "Forget it Al it's not real, it's just a nightmare."
"What's all the noise in here? Ed, Al what's wrong?" A sweet and gentle voice said from the door to the room. Ed turned his head to see Trisha standing at the door her face horrified and scared as the worry consumed her to what was the mutterer with her sons.
"Al had a nightmare… He was screaming and yelling for help mom. I didn't know what to do." Ed whispered as Al continued to cry oblivious to his mother's presence.
She hastily ran over to the boy's embracing them both into a warm hug. "Thank you for taking care of him Ed my brave little man. What's wrong Al? Bad dreams?" Trisha looked down at her youngest son as she sat on the bed and swapped with Edward as Alphonse embraced her tightly into a hug.
"Mommy.. Don't leave us please? The voice said Edward did something but it was lying… But as long as you're here the voice can't get me. Don't let it trap me I don't want to be alone." Alphonse blurted out.
"Oh Alphonse shush its okay it was just a bad dream, nothing there was real nothing will take you away. It's okay." Trisha whispered as she began to softly stroke her sons head and rock him a little still giving him a warm hug that she knew would make all the bad things in his mind soon go away. "Its okay Al me and Ed are here. We'll always be here; nothing will ever take you away. It's okay sweetheart, its okay."
Trisha then began to hum softly to her son still holding him in a warm hug that she knew would calm him down. Occasionally letting out some words to the soothing tone she continued until the whimpering and crying from Alphonse fell silent.
"It's okay Al… I'm here, I'm here. I promise I'm not going anywhere. I promise…."
