Seven days later I was realised from the hospital, still a little tender on a few ribs but perfectly fine. I was so glad to be leaving the hospital; I hated it there, the crappy food, all the needles, being woken up in the middle of the night and not being allowed to move around as I wished. It was Sunday which meant I had a whole day to do whatever I wanted before going back to school.

I finally admitted to Roy I'd never handed in homework anymore and he promised to deal with it, I mean after all he'd done for me it was the least I could do. Dad had wanted to give me a lift home from the hospital but I told him I wanted to stretch my legs and walk by myself and reluctantly he had agreed. To be truthful I'm still terrified of him, even though I believe him it's still hard to ignore everything that happened last year.

Walking down the street I just enjoyed the fresh air, my thoughts began to wander and I thought back to everything that had happened in the past two weeks.

I was sitting in the hospital bed staring at the necklace that was supposed to stop me from being possessed, I nearly laughed at the thought. Who would have guessed that demons, ghosts and vampires were actually real, I mean come on things out of horror movies were supposed to be fake!

The door opened and those two brothers from before entered, what were their names? Dam and Sean? No, Sam and Dean just don't ask me which is which. "Hey guys what's up?" I asked trying to break the tension. "Not much just thought we would come and see how you were doing."

I had been in the hospital for five days and I still wasn't allowed to actually move from my bed. "Oh you know getting restless and sick of food that tastes like cardboard, but hey at least I get to eat." I said with a forced smile. "That's good, well we actually wanted to teach you how to defend yourself against a demon or other supernatural being, just in case they come after you again." The shorter one said, Dean I think he is.

I just nodded; I had been wondering if they would and I glad they are. They came in and sat on the chairs beside my bed and dumped a bag on the bed. "There are a few things that demons are weak against, they are holy water, salt and devil traps." They handed me a sheet of paper with a symbol drawn on it. "That is a devil trap if you spray paints that onto a surface and if a demon steps in it they aren't able to use their powers anymore and are trapped. Salt will burn them and so will holy water, to expel a demon from a person you have to perform an exorcism." They handed me a piece of paper with some Latin words written on it. "Memorise those and you'll be able to get rid of any demon." The other one, Sam I believe said.

"Hey Ed." I heard someone call my name and I snapped out of my thoughts, walking towards me was Ling and besides him was Winry. "Hey man, long time no see, why haven't you been at school?" Ling asked me, these two are like my only actual friends at school. "I've been in the hospital, don't worry it wasn't anything serious, I'm all good now." I said with a big fake smile on my face.

"It wasn't caused by your father was it?" Winry asked me with pain in her voice. She was my automail mechanic and during maintenance she saw all the bruises and I told her everything. Ling knew simply because we have no secrets between us, if it wasn't for them I probably would have killed myself before now. I nodded my head and looked down at the ground, my bangs covering my eyes. Then I looked up and smiled at them, "It's ok though because he's changed, he's promised never to hit me again and I can eat at home again, he's gone back to the way he was before." I smiled at them but I saw a doubting look pass between the two, I knew they didn't believe either me or Van.

"Look guys I'm not completely gullible but you didn't see him, he has changed and it's for the better this time, but I will still be careful so don't worry about me." I saw relief flash through their eyes and they nodded at me and I knew that everything was going to be ok, that is unless demons possess them. I fiddled with the two necklaces in my pocket and contemplated the best way to give them to them and make sure they actually wear them.

"I got you guys something to say thanks for everything last year, I was kind of hoping that they could become our friendship necklaces or something." Great now I sounded like a girl. Ling started laughing at me and Winry looked shocked. "Aww man don't tell me you are going all sappy on me now, let me guess it's those clique necklaces that say best friends broken up?" Ling said in between laughing fits.

"Shut up and just take the stupid necklaces, just promise me that you'll always wear them, and I mean always never take these off." I said in a serious voice and they must have caught onto it because they both nodded and took the necklaces from my extended hand and put them on. I sighed in relief knowing at least they were safe, but I can't protect everyone from the demons. If only there was some way to make them part of the school uniform.

I heard footsteps approaching and saw that it was Havoc, I tensed waiting for whatever would happen, but never in a million years would I have guessed this. "Hey Ed I was wondering if I could talk to you alone for a while?" he asked me I nodded and Told Winry and Ling that I'd talk to them at school tomorrow.

Havoc and I started walking in the direction of my house, not that he knew that of course. "So what did you want to talk about?" I asked to break the tension. I heard him take a deep breath and expected him to start insulting me like always. "Look Ed I just wanted to apologise for the way I've been treating you the last few months, I had no right to do that and I just wanted to let you know that I've told Mr Mustang everything and all the marks I got for the work you did you will be getting." I stopped walking and stared at him in shock, I never ever expected him to apologise.

"I understand if you never want to talk to me again but I was sort of hoping that we could become friends." He said sheepishly with a cigarette hanging between his teeth, I thought about for a moment, I have forgiven Hohenheim and what he did is so much worse than Havoc could ever be.

"I guess I could use more friends right now so why not let's start a fresh." I said extending my flesh hand, he grabbed it a shook it a goofy grin on his face that made me smile too. "Yea chief a new start." He said agreeing with me. Chief? Well that's a new nickname. Maybe, just maybe I could be happy again, Alphonse, mum, oh how I miss them.

We arrived at my house and paused when I saw our car in the driveway, so he is home. "Is this where you live?" Havoc asked me and I nodded my head, I was about to turn away and continue walking when I heard a scream coming from inside. Without thinking I ran inside, I knew that voice that was Dad, but why was he screaming? "Ed wait up, shouldn't we call the cops of something?" I heard a panicked Havoc call out behind me. I ignored him and just kept running through my house to find the source of the scream.

Entering my dad's bedroom I stared in shock at the scene before me, my father was tied to the bed with our neighbour Mr Falman standing over him in his hand was a bloodied knife, was he possessed by a demon? I fumbled for the piece of paper which had the exorcism written on it, Falman turned around and he had black eyes. "Ah so the prodigal son returns." He says to me with a smirk on his face.

With a wave of his hand I find myself pinned to the wall and from the grunt I heard to my left I assume that Havoc was in the same situation as me. The paper was knocked from my hand and landed face up on the ground and I could just make out the words. "What do you want with me?" I spat out trying to stall for time. "My Master has plans for you, but telling you would ruin all the fun. I knew that if I tortured Hohenheim enough you would eventually show."

With that he turned around and walked over to my father and lowered his knife so it was positioned just over my father's heart, with one last look at me he proceeded to lower the knife directly into his heart. My scream mingled with Van's and Havoc's the demon looked at me as if expecting me to do something. With tremendous effort I lowered my head enough to be able to read the exorcism.

"Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus, omnis satanica potestas, omnis incursio infernalis adversarii, omnis congregatio et secta diabolica. Ergo, draco maledicte. Ecclesiam tuam securi tibi facias libertate servire, te rogamus, audi nos."

Black smoke erupted from Falman's mouth and he dropped to the floor unconscious as, Havoc and I were both released from our bonds and dropped to the floor. Standing up I ran over to the bed and saw that it was too late my father was already dead. Havoc walked up behind me and placed his hand on my shoulder but I shook it off not liking the contact.

Dad was my last family; I have no Aunts or Uncles who would take me in? I closed my eyes and rested my hands on my father's still tied one. Tears escaped my eyes as I felt how cold it was already. I heard a gasp from Havoc and warmth spread over my fingers as light invades my closed eyes. Opening them I gasped in shock when I saw that the light was coming from my fingers. I looked at my father's chest and saw that the wound was closing its self along with all the other ones on his body. I felt his hand move beneath mine and his eyes cracked open.

"Quickly untie him." I snapped at Havoc who moved quickly to obey me. Once he was free my father sat up and looked around confused. "Did I miss something?" he asked me and I couldn't help but laugh in relief. His eyes suddenly widened and his hands flew to his chest and he felt the torn cloths and the flawless skin. "I was stabbed, I died how is it that I'm still alive?" I just shook my head in bewilderment. "I don't know, I was touching you and suddenly this bright light came from my hands and you were just healed." I was in a state of shock and so were the other members in the room.

"So Ed I think I'm going to head home now and ah I'll see you tomorrow at school." Havoc said to me before all but sprinting out of my house. I sigh and run my flesh hand through my fringe detangling a few knots from it. I look down at my neighbour and notice that he's starting to stir.

"We should return him to his house before he fully wakes up." I say to my father who nods and stands up and grabs the man under his arms and carry him out of the house. I flop down on my father's bed suddenly exhausted and my eyes drift close and next thing I know I've drifted off to sleep.

XoxoX

Damn it Cas where are you? I could really use your advice right about now. I had just gotten off the phone with Hohenheim and he's told me everything that had happened, so twice now that boy has brought someone back from the dead, what else could he do? And that was the truly terrifying question.

While he had been unconscious we tested him to see if he was anything other than human, he didn't react to any of them, not even silver which means that he must in fact be human… unless he's something we've never met before, which is another terrifying thought. If this is something new we have no way to defend ourselves against him. I feel terrible for what happened to Cas when we were in purgatory together; I had no choice I had to leave him.

I looked over to Sam who was looking stuff up on his laptop, probably watching weird ass bondage porn or something. I smirked to myself at that thought. I mean who am I kidding this is Sam he gets awkward at sex scenes in movies.

"Hey so I've been looking up what Ed might possibly be but there is nothing that even remotely fits him, well except for one thing, but if that is what he is then I don't think we need to worry about killing him." Sam said to me and I perked up instantly, if he is some supernatural create we have to kill him and Sam accepts that, so for him to say that we don't need to kill something is a rarity.

"So what could he possibly be?" I asked curiosity burning inside of me. "He's a Seraphim, a very rare type of angel; most cultures believe them to be instinct nut if I am right this is one of the most powerful types of angels of all time." I stared at him, another angel? Great just what we need. "Wait, if he's an all-powerful angel why did he allow himself to be abused by a demon for over a year?" I asked, this didn't make any sense.

"Unless he doesn't know he's an angel, he could have had is memory wiped or just doesn't know. I don't think his dad knows either, I doubt that is his real father." So we're dealing with an angel who doesn't know his an angel, great now I really wish Cas was here. And as if to answer my wishes there was a bright flash of light and Castiel was standing there looking confused. Before falling forwards unconscious.
