Part Two – Journal

Ed could feel the warmth and softness of cotton as he rolled over. The sun was an additional warmth which made the place where he was a lot more comfortable. Still, it was the matter of were he was that got him up. He sat up and looked around, obviously he wasn't in the Colonel's office anymore.

"Shit…I must have fallen asleep in the colonel's office…."

Realizing this Ed's face went completely red knowing it must have been Mustang who brought him here. His back ached a bit as he got up. Looking around again he noticed that he was back at Al and his temporary home it looked different a bit. He could also tell this because he had his sleeping trousers on still what bugged him was he really didn't have his sleeping shirt on (O.O / XD ).

"Al?"

No reply Ed walked downstairs still looking for his brother as he arrived into the kitchen he found someone but it was someone he wasn't expecting.

"Mustang what are you…"

Before Ed could finish Mustang embraced the younger boy into a hug. Ed was seriously confused (just like my reviewers. . . I still love you all though! Don't hurt me!). He was able to see past Mustang a bit and see some books on the table. Ed tried to say something but his voice was to muffled from the fabric of Mustang's coat. Mustang couldn't make head or tails of it so his curiosity got the better of him

"What?"

Mustang pulled the boy to arms length. Ed looked at Mustang with an utmost serious face Mustang had seen the boy make. He repeated what he said this time a lot more clearer.

"What have you figured out"

"I should have to say anything this time you tell me the TRUE story Edward…"

Before Ed could protest Mustang turned him around and started running his finger on Ed's back. Mustang was tracing over the array marking on the younger alchemists back.

"and I want to know what this array on you back means"

"then you can see it as well?"

"of course"

Ed sighed and turned around.

"You wont find it in a book, only in my father's notes"

"Please tell me you have them"

"I'm not a fool, of course I still have them."

"Go get them and you tell me the true story"

Ed didn't really like taking orders from Mustang but if he could see the markings also then he had the right to know. Ed sighed and went back upstairs. Mustang only had to wait for a few minutes until Ed came back down in proper clothing and a small rather worn out brown journal. Setting the journal on the table Ed looked at mustang before sitting down

"Before I start telling you, please promise me you wont tell Al?"

"You haven't told Al!"

Mustang was shocked Ed never kept secrets from his brother (to his knowledge at least…) he was seriously about to give Ed a hard hit to the head but when we saw his eyes something just told him to stay calm.

"Well…"

". . . you don't have to explain if you don't want to I just want to here the true story for now"

"fine, fine"

"well get going not unless you want Al to return to hear the story as well"

Ed sighed and relaxed a bit.

"basically you know the whole story just not a major part, It was After sealing Al's soul to the suit of armor I was brought back into the gate for no reason well I guess for some reason, still its hard to remember anything besides the pain,"

"pain…?"

"yes pain Mustang all I knew is that something extremely hot was doing something to my back, when truth explained well, its not going to be very good for me in the end,"

"and why is that"

"because when we get Al's body back to normal…I'll…be trapped inside the gate."

"What! Edward!"

"what you saw, the gold mist was just probably the first thing you see until…umm"

Ed's face went a bit red he was embarrassed of what he was going to say.

"well?"

Ed really wished Mustang didn't say that. He was to embarrassed to say it so he chucked the journal at Mustang looked at the page that was creased. It was truly the array that was scarred into Edward's back. The door opened Alphonse was back.

"you can borrow it if you want Mustang"

Ed said below a whisper as Al walked into the kitchen.

"Nii-san!"

Al hugged his brother happy to see him up. Ed returned the hug. Mustang not wanting to stay any longer then he had to said good by and left. Mustang looked at the journal while walking down the side walk reading the deciphered notes Ed had made.

"This is going to be intresting…"

Phantom - not really a cliff hanger is it? Oh well I hoped you enjoyed Thanks goes to my Readers and reviewers! thanks guys and I'll cya later!
