Al tried to keep his eyes open, but the light was blinding him, he pressed his hands down harder and scream slightly…this just…had to work…the light died down…and al automatically passed out, onto the floor. He lost complete energy…the only thing he could do was breath weakly…
Ed opened his eyes slightly, and moved his hand to his head "hmmm…" he moaned, as shots of pain ran through his body as he sat up. He opened his eyes properly and tried to adjust his vision it was really blurry, he got up slowly as his vision was now fine. He looked around…where was al…? He thought, he saw him on the floor, un-conscious and blood falling from his mouth lightly.
Ed's eyes widened and he ran over quickly "Al?" he shouted, kneeling down next to him and hugging him "al…don't leave me brother…hold on…" he said, wiping the blood from his mouth and picking him up…he was only just about holding onto life about now. He ran back to Max's house, monk and max were just talking.
Ed ran in breathing heavily and lay al down on the couch, he was breathing heavily. Monk and Max looked at Ed with wide eyes, until Max finally got up… "So…that's where al went…" she looked at ed "al…brought you back using a human transmutation…" she said smiling slightly and hugging Ed lightly. Ed sighed and hugged her back "just help him…okay…forget about me…" he said, placing his hand over his side and sitting down.
Max kneeled down next to al, and put a blanket over his body, wiping the rest of the blood from his mouth "he'll…be okay…lack of energy that's all…he could be out cold for a while though…but his breathing is picking up…" she said smiling slightly.
Ed nodded slowly and closed his eyes…more pain…just lovely…he leaned into the sofa. Max looked over at Ed "I'm glad…you back…" she said smiling, monk nodded in reply. Ed smiled weakly "thanks…" he said, slowly drifting off into sleep…no one could blame him…not really…
Ed had fallen asleep soon after and monk had as well. Max sighed and stroked al's hair, she was going to stay up all night to check he was going to be okay…she really did worry…but what if he stopped breathing…or coughed up blood, she wasn't
Going to take that risk…
Max was so tired…she yawned slightly and got up…she really needed some fresh air…she walked outside and looked at the moon…it was pretty…It…really was, it reminded her of the friends and lover she had…they meant the world to her…and seeing nights like this gave her hope…they should give anyone that, to know that the world isn't always full of destruction…it can show beauty.
Wrath and Envy were sat on the roof…why the hell were they there…they knew that ed wasn't pride anymore and envy was just annoyed, he'd wasted so much energy doing that.
Wrath jumped down and walked up behind max and placed a hand over her mouth "hello" he said smiling. Max tried to move his hand, and eventually she did "what do you want?" she said getting annoyed.
Envy walked up to her "seriously…be quiet…" he said. Max was about to shout again. When he placed a hand over her mouth "im deadly serious!" he hissed into her ear. She sighed and struggled away.
Envy smirked slightly "tell full metal…that he went back on dying for al…" he said, his smirk getting wider "so…tell him…don't expect for al to be okay…he went back on his word…I'll go back on mine…" he said, moving his hand down her hair "you think you can do that…without screaming at me…" he said, holding her closer.
Max sighed and didn't reply and closed her eyes. Envy got angry and tightened the grip on her waist…she coughed slightly…that really hurt. "Don't ignore me…you got that…!" he said shouting slightly. Max nodded weakly and tried to loosen the grip that envy had her in.
Wrath sighed and started walking off. Envy sighed and let her go, she coughed slightly and looked at the floor. Envy picked her face so she was looking at him "sorry…we need a messenger…and well you're a cute one…" he said, patting her on the head, and getting close into her face, he smirked that way he always did and ran after wrath.
Max sighed and placed her hand over her side and walked back in and sat down next to al. Max looked over ed…was he having a nightmare…?
Ed was digging his nails into the couch slightly, a tear slid down his cheek…in Ed's dream…
Ed was running quickly as he heard his brother scream…what was happening? Where was al…don't die on me…he thought hold on al! He shouted at the top of his voice…he kept looking around…it was no use…al was no where…and then he heard al's faint cry for help for his brother…
It ripped Ed's soul apart and he started crying. The last thing he heard al say was 'brother…help me…' in the most pleading way…he had heard anyone…it broke his heart into pieces…he couldn't lose al!
He heard another voice…someone was laughed…it was…envy… "Poor little Alphonse…if only your brother didn't go back on what he said…I wouldn't have had to do this to you…" he said, laughing and then it was distant…
That…dream…well nightmare…felt so…real….
Max shook Ed slightly "Ed!" she said. Ed opened his eyes slightly, his breathing heavily…he moved his hand to his head and closed his eyes and started to cry. Max ha a wave of worry and hugged him "Ed…what's wrong…?" she said, stroking his hair slightly and then wiping the tears away.
Ed shook his head and cried into her…Max sighed, "I…spoke…to wrath and envy…well envy threatened me…" she said quietly. Ed looked up…if he had hurt her…he'd kill him…Max sighed "he said…to watch al…because you never know…when he might just take him…away from you…" she said, with tears in her eyes at this point.
Ed looked at the floor…maybe that dream had some meaning…and this was all his fault…if…al died it was his fault…that was all that ran through his mind, he had to be with him…he couldn't let envy kill him…no way…if al…was dead…ed was dead…that was it…
Max closed her eyes and hugged Ed "it'll be okay…I'll look after you two…" she said smiling weakly. Ed cried more into her and shook his head "no max…you'll get hurt…no way…this is my fault!" he said shouting.
Max hugged him tighter "no ed it isn't!" she said accidentally shouting…she shook her head and let her tears fall off her face.
Ed sighed…this was killing him inside…envy was going to kill al…or try…. if Ed has anything to do with it…envy wasn't going to hurt al in any way…..
