Chapter two
Ed woke up shocked, afraid, and clutching his heart, he was breathing deeply, and his breath was coming in quick wheezes.
It had just been a dream…Winry hadn't really died….he hoped…badly hoped that it had all been a dream. Hot salty tears fell down his cheeks; he brought his knee up to his chin, and buried his face in his bony knee.
"It hurts" he cried.
His heart hurt…badly…Winry...Winry. Al appeared standing on the threshold of the doorway. Ed wiped his face, and started hitting his head rhythmically on his two knees.
"Are you alright" Al asked.
Ed looked up at Al's sleepy face. He wanted to say that everything was not okay, that he missed Winry greatly, but it didn't come out. It formed like a huge lump in his throat, but he swallowed, and then spoke.
"Yes…I'm alright" he answered, though Al and Ed himself knew that he was lying.
"Lets' get some sleep" said Al. Ed nodded his head, they had a lot to do tomorrow, and they had to meet up with Noah at the corner of the flower shop. They (Ed, and Al) were looking for the Uranium Bomb, they had to destroy it. Noah had insisted on helping them, so she was in on it too.
Al left his brothers side, and went back to his room which was down the hall, three other rooms separated them. Ed closed his eyes, but opened them again afraid to dream. But sleep soon overcame him, and he fell into a deep slumber, which left Al, who stayed up all night to make sure that Ed really did go to sleep.
The next morning
Ed woke up; he rubbed his eyes, and then went to wash his face. He walked slowly down stairs, he grabbed a cup of tea, he sipped a few sips, and then he and Al were off. They walked along the streets, which were crowded.
"Brother I heard you call out Winry's name, when you were asleep" said Al.
Ed looked at Al; he opened his mouth, and shut it again averting his eyes to the ground. Al looked disappointed, and he too looked to the pavement. Their silence was interrupted by Noah's voice.
Another girl stood beside her. Noah waving eagerly at them.
"Good morning" said Al.
Noah smiled, and turned around to introduce her friend.
"This is my friend Wisteria" she said.
Wisteria looked up at them, Ed gasp, and almost fell over. Wisteria looked exactly like Winry except she had brown hair, and it was down, her clothes were different, but she had Winry eyes, and face…..exactly identical.
"Ed" said Al, and his voice brought Ed back.
"Sorry for my rudeness….I'm Edward Elric" he said.
He shook her hand politely, Al followed this act.
"I'm Alphonse Elric" said Al.
"You almost look like a younger Alphons Heidrick, though he died about three year ago" she said.
"You knew him" Ed asked.
"Yes I did….very charming fellow" she said.
Al smiled as they started walking toward an alleyway; they turned a corner, and went into the flower shop by the backdoor. It was now where they sat and talked things over, making sure that everybody agreed with the plain. Occasionally Gracia would pop in, and give them drinks.
"Are you joining us Wisteria" asked Ed.
"I am also on the same quest as you are, and like Noah I am a gypsy, so I do not need to be alone. I met Noah while she was dancing at the Roma (Roma: German word for human)
Celebration, a great dancer. I told her what I was looking for, and she told me so much about you two….I understand you are not from this world" she said.
"Great Noah…tells her everything" said Ed.
"Sorry I didn't know you were trying to keep it a secret…especially after what happened with the other world; everyone knows you're from that other world. Al appeared with you, and every one assumed that he must have come back with you from the other world…Ed it's sort of obvious" said Noah.
The two brothers blushed embarrassed. They sat down and starting talking about their plans to make their next move.
