Ed supposed he should have been more careful. Then again, he was never

careful and things always turned out all right in the end. He supposed he

was lucky. He never thought that his luck would run out or that it might not

be

him that took the full blow.

He also never thought he'd lose his brother. Never thought anyone would find

the blood seal and have the perfect aim and scratch it off.

Al was gone.

It was the truth that he didn't want to face because it all seemed like a

bad dream.

He had wanted to die.

He never had the chance because they had found him. Hawkeye had

understood. The moment she saw him, she hugged him. It felt like a hug

that would never end and Ed hope it wouldn't as he kept crying to the

soothing words that were whispered into his ear.

Once he had ran out of tears the sadness was replaced with anger. Angry at

whom did this to his brother, at his helplessness and most of all at Roy

Mustang.

He had rush over to where the Colonel was and started shouting at him and

trying to hit him.

"You promised me, that nothing would happen to him!" Ed yelled, trying to

hit the black haired man.

Roy had gripped his wrists and pulled him close before Ed had a chance to

stop him. Ed had stood there stunned.

Ed didn't even move when Roy pulled him tighter. All he was able to do was

cling and cry.

"I know and I'm sorry."

That had made him cry harder.
