Chapter two: Traveling
Al stuffed his clothes, and small things into a brown suitcase. Winry standing at the threshold of the door, her expression was troubled.
"What's the matter Winry" asked Al as his suitcase clicked shut. Winry held her left arm, as if she had been wounded.
"The last time I saw Edward...he was doing exactly what you're doing. He was leaving to go...traveling or...avenge Hughes death. You promise your coming back right Al" Winry asked. Al looked to the floor; he felt the pocket watch in his hand. His thumb rubbed over the small details etched into the metal.
"I will be coming back, just not very soon" answered Al.
"You better come back" said Granny Pinako suddenly appearing beside Winry. Her glare was so intense Al shuddered.
"I will...stop worrying. I might pick up some clues on where Edward is" said Al grinning with delight. He grabbed his suitcase, and his red overcoat. He walked out the door.
Winry and Pinako were standing at the doorway watching him leave, he waved to them. They waved back.
"Do you think Alphonse will ever realize that Edward is gone forever?" asked Winry.
"I don't know Winry dear...that boy is as stubborn as Ed was. I think even if he was told so he wouldn't believe it" answered Pinako. She chuckled a little and went back inside. Not long after, Winry followed her.
At the train Station...
Alphonse handed the Conductor his train ticket, the Conductor nodded and let Al pass. Al seated himself and looked out the window; he didn't wish to be any part of the noise and talking that was going on.
It was only a few minutes later, that Al felt the seat sink, he turned and recognized the large man sitting next to him as Major Alex Armstrong- The Strong arm Alchemist.
"Oh Major. It's nice to see you again" said Al uncertainly. Armstrong looked down. (He and Al have already met before, so this wasn't the first time Armstrong has seen Alphonse).
"Ah...young Alphonse Elric...it's wonderful to see you" said Armstrong he gave Alphonse a bone crushing hug. He let him go, after Al had got his breath he smiled.
"Major is there any chance you were sent out here to supervise me?" asked Al. Armstrong smiled slyly.
"Yes" he answered.
"I will be just fine alone. You do not have to if you do not wish to" said Al and turned back toward the window. Armstrong didn't say anything, but he didn't move either. Al sighed, and didn't say anything. (This is where it's brand new and I start writing it again).
The train whistle blew, and a few more people rushed into the train and found a seat. Then the train started moving slowly at first, then fast. The world flying by out the window. A world Alphonse sometimes wished he didn't exist in.
Al knew he wasn't supposed to be on this mission, he was told to stay home. But Roy knew him all to well it seemed, and knew he was going to go anyway. Roy had sent Armstrong. Al cringed, and looked up at the monster of a man beside him. Armstrong grinned at him, and looked ahead. Al really wished he wasn't here.
Something flashed in his mind, and it sent a stab of pain through his head. He grunted, and held his hand to his head.
"Are you okay Alphonse?" Armstrong asked him. Al was only able to give a slight shake of his head, no. Another flash and another pain. Some one was screaming, Al didn't realize it was him until the pain subsided a little. But it was right back again, with yet another flash. What are the flashes? What do they mean? That was the only thing Al was able to think, before he passed out on the floor.
