Chapter 2
They didn't know that the man had entered their home through a portal in the attic, and
now he stood only inches away from them ready to strike. He shook not knowing where
he was and how he got there… finally he spoke catching their attention.
"where am I?" he asked in a scared yet confused tone…
The sisters jump in fright and stand up to face him. His dark hair fell over his piercing
blue eyes, and his tall athletic physique caught phoebes attention. He held his hand in
front of him as if about to snap his fingers. The oldest sister gave a trademark snicker and
took a step forward….
"what are you going to do try and make us disappear with a snap of a finger?" she said
sarcastically.
The man finally gave a smile, and it wasn't a nice one either…
"something like that, but I am not here to hurt no body, I just want to know what is going
on…" he explained lowering his hand a little…
The sisters looked at one another and shrugged, finally phoebe spoke.
"okay I think we can help each other in this situation…." but before she could finish a
scream came from the attic, the scream of a young man….
They all ran to the attic to find the suit of armor huddled in a heap on the floor crying,
shaking in fear… the man ran forward to try and remove one of the surrounding crystals,
but piper grabbed his arm to stop him…
"you cant we don't know what he is…" she tried to explain…
The man looked at her in anger then back at the suit of armor….
"his name is alphonse elric, he is only 17 years old. Let me go now!" he yelled yanking his arm away from piper and moving towards Alphonse.
He moved the crystals and kneeled in front of the boy in armor… the armor looked up
with his tears of fear felt only by the man in front of him.
"colonel mustang?" Alphonse flew forward and took mustang into a crushing hug.
Paige looked in shock, phoebe gave a faint smile of amusement at the two, and piper just
spoke….
"I think there is a lot explaining that needs to be done here…."
Soon enough they were all sitting in the living room discussing the latest events of the
charmed world. It seemed like the normal everyday life to the sisters though…
They sat there and silence fell for sometime, till finally Alphonse spoke up.
"you said something about full metal, and you wanted to know who he is right miss
Paige?" he asked.
Paige nodded and so did Alphonse.
"he is my brother. My older brother…"
Paige looked at him and laughed, "but your so… and he's so…. It don't make sense…"
He nodded again and proceeded to explain why he just a suit of armor…
"oh …." she said "well with the past aside maybe you can help me save him, the next
time I hear him I mean…. he is making this whole white-lighter thing really hard running
every time I get close to him…"
Mustang just kept quiet thinking how typically of full metal these descriptions were….
To be continued….
