Edward groaned as he woke up in what seemed to be a forest. His arm felt like absolute shit. He groan as he sat up he was so incredibly sore. It felt like he was dying. He as slowly got up his back cracked loudly.
"Ugh." Edward panted a little and leaned against a tree. Where the heck was he? The only thing he saw was green trees, shrubs, some bushes, and trees trees trees TREES! I don't have time for this! I have to get back to al! Edward stomped a foot on the ground then wishing he didn't as he winced feeling pain go through his body. He sighed. If he just headed straight he should get somewhere right? Yes good plan. Edward nodded to himself sharply then walked briskly straight. He paused for a second and looked up noting that the sky looked slightly red.
After a few hours and several breaks it was dark out and Edward was left panting against a tree when he noticed a limping man and what seemed to be his son. Edward saw a couple of horses with armed men riding them come up to the short man and his son. Edward was too far away to hear what what going on but he saw that man seemed to crying and begging the man that smirked winningly at him. Edward creeped closer hidden by the trees. Edward strained his ears trying to hear the conversation.
"Please not in front of my son." the man begged.
Edward immediately bristled as the other man commanded him to kiss his boot. The poor man shakily got down on his feet and kissed the boot. The rest of the men laughed and mocked him. In a flash of overwhelming anger Edward forgot his pain, ran up to the man and gave him a good kick in the face with his auto mail foot. The man's nose broke and blood squirt everywhere. Edward smirked, perfect.
The man with the limp looked up at Edward in fear, having fallen down; his son was behind him in a sort of shock. He wasn't much taller than Edward. About an inch by estimate. His son a head shorter. Edward felt strangely giddy by that fact. He heard the idiotic men pick up their friend and run away on their horses as he introduced himself.
"Hello, m' name is Edward nice to meet you."
The couple stayed still and stared at him still in shock.
"C'mon I'm not that scary, don't be afraid.
Edward outstretched his right arm. The man slowly got out of his shock and shakily took Edward's hand.
"M-my name I-is r-r-Rumpelstiltskin."
