Thanks for all of the reviews!
Making sure not to trip, Alphonse ran down the hill after his brother. He peered ahead to see what his brother was talking about. "Huh? What is it Ed?" Al then saw it. "Is that a transmutation circle?"
"Yeah, looks like someone has been doing alchemy.," Ed slightly touched the circle. It was still warm. "This had to be one talented alchemist too." The transmutation circle was colored blood red, with a silver outlining. "You know what this means Al?"
"No, what?" Alphonse said surprised by Ed's out of nowhere cheerfulness.
"Well" Ed started with a small wry smile. "It means that if an alchemist is near by, then that means we might be closer to Darrington than we thought." Darrington was a small town Ed heard about a while ago. Every detail about the town was rather small and reluctant though. Darrington was supposedly built and created by a group of alchemist. Whom all believed that the only way to peace was through alchemy. With the problem of myth between fact going on, Ed and Al still decided to go and check it out. There was a slim and possible chance that there might be some kind of lead on the Philosophers stone there. So with all hope they left central, using a map Maes drawn out for them. A very bad and unreliable map might I add. "This also means that things are finally looking up!" But of course once Ed said that, a metal bullet whizzed past his head. Missing him by a hair. Ed and Al stood there shocked. "What in the hell!" Ed said as he looked back to see who just tried to shoot him. The person was in a dead run, leaving Ed and Al in his dust. Ed then ran after him.
"Ed! Wait up!" They all ran by the sudden confusion. Al was far behind from Ed and Ed was catching up to his shooter fast. Since he was close enough, Ed jumped and tackled him down.
"Got'cha!" Ed yelled as the person underneath him squirmed.
"Please don't hurt me! I- I didn't mean too shoot you!"
"What?" Ed looked down to see who this guy was. He couldn't believe it. It was little boy. With blond hair and a blue eye. The other eye was closed shut.
"I'm sorry. I swear!" The boy yelled. Ed got off him. He couldn't believe that a little kid almost killed him.

and! this chapter is done! Sorry it took me so long to up date! Oh and by the way, the reason why Maes map was bad was because he was talking to his daughter on the phone while writing it!
