DarkKalendor: Okay! Unfortunatly I do not own FullMetal Alchemist, or perhaps that is a good thing. I would make it crappy, and ya'll would be angery at me! Yeah! So! I do not own FMA! Be nice, pleeeese. I love constructive critizism, but no blashing of doom. I wrote this before Hughes died, but after Factory
Envy: She would kill us all!
DarkKalendor: Hey! I would never kill off all my main charaters!
Luke: Yeah right.
Prologue: Unfinished
I…could see him.
"Brother?" my new lungs called through the dark crypt, but…there was no answer.
He continued to stare in horror towards me while tears poured freely from his eyes, and his mouth was slightly open in a silence gasp of terror. I could see his golden eyes shake with fear as his he wanted to flee. Blood freely dripped from a dozen wounds upon his body, but somehow the terror in his eyes was evident that he was unaware in how much anguish his body was in.
"Why is he looking at me like that?" my mind questioned, quite alarmed at his reaction, "Hadn't the transmutation worked"
"Ed…what's wrong?" I asked slowly walking towards him…but something was wrong with my legs.
"Alphonse…" Edward cried falling to his knees, and his eyes turned towards the cobbled stones that flowed with blood, "No…My…brother"
I couldn't move? It was as if my legs were frozen. What was going on? My mind filled with dread as the dimly lit crevasse began to gently darken and the room began to spin. My newly formed heart pounded with dismay as my vision continued to dim. What was wrong? Seeing my fainting form, Ed quickly ran to my side. He was holding something, but my vision was too blurred. With his eyes still filled with anguished fear, he held me and gently lowered my recently formed body to the ground. The object in his right hand was white and Ed was…drawing quickly with it around my body. "This can't be happening." I could hear my brother franticly repeat as he continued the transmutation circle, "This can't be happening"
"Brother?" my voice was weak as the world slowly dissolved into shadows, "What…What's wrong"
Ed stopped drawing the circle to stare back at me. I have only seen Edward look at me that way only once. It was the same expression that he had seven years ago when I first found myself locked inside a suite of armor. Regret, pain, sorrow, anger, desperation, and guilt furrowed upon his face as he resumed drawing the circle.
"It…wasn't enough, Al." I could hear his forlorn and pain filled voice whisper, "I wasn't enough"
I couldn't help but laugh as I stated, "The Philosopher Stone was"
"It wasn't the stone!" Ed furiously interrupted as he tightly closed his eyes, and with anger mixed anguish he whispered, "It was me"
With concern, I finally asked the hallow question, "Edward…what am I"
Closing his eyes tightly, Ed hissed in sorrow as if battling the reality, "I can't…" tears streamed down his face as he slowly stated, "I'll have to put you back in the necklace"
Undesirable disappointment collided in my gray eyes as my fourteen year old voice ached, "Brother…I can feel again." I reached a hand to his, but my brother recoiled at my touch. Puzzled I looked down at my hand…I also recoiled at seeing my hand. I felt nauseous.
I was…unfinished.
As my attention was drawn to my bleeding hands, and it was as if a knife had sliced three of my fingers leaving bone and blood. Patches of my skin where simply not there and white bone was bare to the damp air. Feeling my face…I could feel half a exposed skull upon my left side. With only partial muscle, my legs were rendered useless.
"Al! No!" Ed quickly dropped the calk and quickly held my hands forcing myself to lock my fearful glance with his, "When your mind realizes…you'll…" Ed was filled with complete despair as my world continued to vanish into darkness…Was…Was I dying?
"Hang in there, Al." Ed tearfully called as he held my unfinished form in his whole arms, "Al?…Alphonse"
I could finally feel my brother holding me…even if it was…for a little while.
DarkKalendor: Okay? So what is the verdict?
Al: Uh...
DarkKalendor: Is speachless good, or not? Anydangway, pleeeeeese be kind! Waaaaa
