Chapter Two

Edward opened his eyes slowly. His vision was blurry and his head hurt. Edward sat up. He waited for his head to clear before opening his eyes again. When his head stopped pounding he looked around. He was lying on a sandy beach, right next to an ocean tide. He didn't mind the water flowing towards and away from him. He was sweating all over from what happened the night before when he and Alphonse…

'Al!' Ed thought. What had happened to his little brother? All he could remember was Al's armor collapsing and he seemed to recall a white light. 'Maybe he ended up here too,' Ed thought as he rose to his feet. His vision turned hazy for a second, but he quickly got in control. He walked along the sandy beach until he came across an old shack. He peered inside only to find a stairway that - he thought - led to the bridge that he saw outside. He left the shack and walked over to a miniature waterfall that was pouring into a small pool of water. Ed took off his white gloves and scooped up a handful of water and took a sip. It tasted very good. After a couple more sips he replaced his gloves on his hands. He looked at his Automail hand and thought for a moment. He had no idea where he was, and the people out here might not know about Automail. That is, if there were any people here. Edward decided that it would be better to hide the Automail just in case. Edward turned in a circle. He saw some trees and ladders, but no people. He then noticed a little hole in the wall to the left of the little pool hat was covered with vines. He walked over to it, brushing away the vines to find the hole was a tunnel. Ed thought it might not be a good idea, but if he wanted to find Alphonse he would have to search every inch of the sandy beach. So he entered the cave.

"Riku!" a girl with red hair called. A silver-haired boy walked up to her. "A strange boy just went into the Secret Place," she tolled him, referring to the cave.

"Really, Kairi? Do you recognize him? Do you think he's from around here?" Riku asked her, beginning to feel somewhat excited.

She shook her head. "I've never seen him before. Besides, he was wearing a big red coat so if he was from around here, I'd think he'd dress a little lighter," Kairi replied.

"Hey, do you think he's from another world! Where's Sora? He'd want to know about this!"

Kairi gasped, "He went in there a little while ago!" Riku grabbed Kairi's hand and took off to the cave.

Edward turned around the thin winding path until he got to a large room. The room had drawings all over it. Across from Edward was a wooden door in the wall. Ed saw a brunette, spiky- haired boy drawing on the wall with a couple of stones. Ed quickly pulled his red sleeve down to make sure that his Automail wouldn't show. Ed was about to dart out of the room when the boy spotted him.

"Hey who are you?" The boy jumped up, seeming somewhat flustered, and looked as if he were trying to cover something behind his back. Edward didn't know if he should say anything to him or not. "Who are you?" the boy repeated, his cheeks turning pink. Ed took a step back and stepped on something. It was a rock that was slightly smaller than his fist. Ed suddenly got an idea. If he could knock this kid out, he could make a run for it and the boy might think it was just a dream. Ed bent down; making sure his red coat blocked the boy's way of seeing him pick up the rock.

The brown-haired boy saw the stranger bend down. He raised his fists ready to fight if he needed to. Then he noticed someone behind the blond boy. It was his friends Riku and Kairi. Riku and Kairi muttered about something to each other and then Riku quickly picked up a rock. The brunette boy quickly looked back to the stranger; he didn't want to give his friend away. In the corner of his eye he could see Kairi mutter something to Riku. He reacted disdainfully to what she said, and she looked worried as he took a couple steps forward.

Edward was ready to spring forward and knock out the brown-haired boy. He took a step forward, and then heard someone behind him. He turned around just in time to see a sliver-haired person swing at him. A hard object came in contact with his head. Edward felt light headed, then collapsed.
