Sorry for the long wait. My Edward funeral is on Friday… So I hope the next chapter will be up… early or in the middle of next week.

Chapter 8 part 2

Edwards inside was fighting his body to keep him together. The body was about to destroy itself from the inside of his outward could be seen. His golden locks were started was to fall to the ground and his skin had begun to change colour to be ashen. He heard voices in his sleep. In Edwards dreams so he clearly Roy alone.

'What are you doing now… at this place? "Asked Edward. He asked not only Roy, but also himself.

They were at the beach. Only those two. He felt like he had been her before. Wearing their normal clothes they sat together in the wet sand, feeling the rain connect them. The waves stood in line to throw themselves onto the coast and the wind made it cold, but nevertheless found Edward heat in Roy's arms. Edward laugh a little and noticed that Roy's arms pulled him deeper into his beloved. He looked up at Roy.

"Are you to a place where this sky continues into??"

Roy looked down at Edward and smiled silently. A tear took off Edwards cheek.

"I lost that ... Which has buried my heart until now and noticed it for the first time ..." He took a deep breath. "The fact that you had been supporting me this much. The fact that you had been giving me smiles this much. "

Roy put a finger on Edwards mouth and kissed him.

"The price of having lost it is way too preposterously great and I desperately reach out my hands and struggle to recover it, but ... It slips by just like the wind, it looks like I'll reach it but I do." cried Edward. "My chest is tightened by loneliness and despair and my heart seems to breakfast, but your smile that remains in my memories ... always encourage me."

He sat up and looked more deeply into Roy's eyes.

"Let's return to that time again. I'm sure that we'll be all right this time. "

Roy smiled. "I'll always laugh by your side. What are you doing now? at this place Edward? Are you to a place where your skies continues into? "Roy asked.

Edward was shocked and looked around. Most of the landscape had begun to disappear.

"Will you be with me with a smile like always?" Roy asked worried, and Edward looked back at him.

Edward closed his eyes and sighed. Tears fell down his cheek. He knew where he was now. He stood up and walked down towards the water. He could feel the wind in her golden hair and took a deep breath.

"Now ..." he started and looked back at Roy. "I simply keep wishing for that ..." He took one step into the water. He began surprised to know that the water wasn't cold. It was warm and he felt a feeling of trust and comfort that he had not had in years. Like when he was little with his mother and little brother in their backyard. Playing in the grass. Hearing people he loved laugh around him and feeling the first he shared with Roy. Roy? Edward looked back. Roy had ran down to the water. They were only a meter between them… But it was already a long distance.

"don't…" Begged Roy.

Edward looked back over his shoulders, hesitated and then turned around.

"I will be waiting for you Roy." He turned around and began walking.

"Edward! NO!" Roy's voice began smaller and smaller, and then Edward couldn't hear it anymore. For the second time in his life, was he completely alone. He walked and walked. It was dark, but he could still see. He walked for what seemed like forever and suddenly he stopped. What was he thinking? He wanted to be with Roy. But right now he wasn't in pain. Was he so selfish? He could choose to be pain free, but not be with Roy at the same time. What had he done? He had lied to himself. He began to breath heavily.

"NO!" a voice cried out loud. "WHY?!" It gave Edward a chook. He knew that voice… It's was Roy's. Edward looked down in the water and a picture of Roy crying at his bed at the hospital became visible.

I'm.. so sorry Roy.." Edward mumbled. He covered his face in his hands and started screaming. He started to run in the water, but still hearing Roy's voice. He ran and ran until he ran into something.

"Oww.." he mumbled and patted his head. In front of him was a huge tree. He took a closer look. On the tree was a transmutation circle. Almost the same as Alphonse's blood seal. This one was for transporting souls. The seal looked like blood.

"But how…?" Edward asked himself.

"You ask how?" A voice sounded, "you are an Alchemist aren't you little one?

Edward froze. He looked around. He couldn't see anything.

"What are you looking for? A face?"

Edward looked up. "Envy?!"

"Surprised?" Envy said with his sarcastic voice. Edward nodded and Envy sighed. "So am I…" started Envy. "This is the shadows inside the truth. I don't have any idea of how you got here."

Edward looked around again. With a closer look he could se that the tree was missing a huge branch. He looked at Envy. "What happen to it?" Envy sighed. "Did I not tell you already? This is inside the truth. The truth is the world. When you take something from the world, you take from the truth."

Edward became silent. He started thinking. "So…" he began. "This tree is all of the trees in the real world?"

Envy nodded. "You can say that."

Edward got closer to the tree. He had seen this wood before. It was the same wood as Roy's chair in his office. Now everything made sense. The dreams, the sand, the water, their hair. The trees world had socked on their lives. Roy's blood must had activated the seal from their first time making love to each other in his office. The tree had separated their souls from their bodies. That was why they were weak and falling apart.

"How do I get back?" asked Edward still looking at the tree.

Envy raised an eyebrow. "Back? Are you serious?" he began to laugh. "Well.. " he started, catching his breath. "Someone has to sit in that chair. But think about it chibi-san. Your body is rotten. What you are you going to live in?"
