Through Lucifer's Eyes
Ch. 3
His Parents
He ran through the noisy crowd hearing Mustang, Hawkeye, and Winry yell, " Edward! Wait!" He ignored them and ran out of the building. Riza looked towards Roy and said," What did you say Roy?"
" All I said was I was going to call his pare-- Oh." He looked down. Sadness in his eyes. " What happened to his parents, Mr. Mustang?" Winry asked inquistively. " It's not my information to share, sorry. But if you want, you can ask him yourself. He seems to like you. I'm sure he'll tell you sooner or later." She blushed. " Ok, thanks."
" Let's go Riza."
" Yes sir." She watched them as they walked away.

Ed was in an alley. It wasn't too far from the school but far enough. He sighed. He was slumped against the wall as he remembered that night.
Flashback
" Edward, Alphonse, sweeties, could you help me in the kitchen, please?" His mom called sweetly. " Sure thing mom! Coming!" Said, seven year old, Ed. " What do you need help with?"
" Well, I was making cookies and I was wondering if anyone can clean my stirring spoon," she said emphazising the word clean. " Oh! Me! Pick me, mom!"
" Ok Ed, you can lick the spoon." He put on a big smile on his face, " Yay! Thanks mom!" Just before he could walk over to the bowl Al ran in front of him to the counter. " Hey she said I could!" Without their mother noticing ,as Al approached the counter, she opened the cabinet door on his forehead. " Oh, Alphonse! Are you okay?" He began to cry uncontrollable. " Shh, shh, don't worry you'll be fine."
" See that's what you get," Ed said sticking his tongue out. " Edward. Go get your father."
" Yes, mom." He ran outside to the backyard where his father was. When he stepped onto the porch he stopped and hid under the bench that was there. There was a man talking to him so, naturally, Ed tried to listen.
" Have you made a decision yet? On who you choose?" said a rather irrated and impatient voice. " I told you, I'm not choosing. I don't want part of this anymore. I have a family now. A real family," said his father's voice. " This is not the sort of thing you just walk away from. There are millions of people in this Hell that need leadership."
" Then tell the council that they can choose whoever the hell they want!" The mysterious shadow sighed and put a hand on his forehead. " Wrong answer."
" Father!" Ed yelled running out of his hiding spot. His dad turned around once he heard his son. " Edwa--" Suddenly, just like that, he was gone. A long blade type weapon lunged right through his chest, his arms falling to his side. Ed's eyes widened in horror. " Daddy!" He watched as his father was just thrown from the blade to the ground. Tears welled in his eyes. He wanted to run to his father but his common sense told him otherwise. He ran back into his house to only be met with yet another nightmare. A small blade but definately sharp was stabbed through his mother's head. Blood was all over her clothing and her face. " Mom!"There was a man right above him mom holding on to the knife. His eyes were that of a crimson red. Under his mom was Al, unharmed but, blood splashed on him as well. Ed ran over to him. " Al!" Right before he reached him arms grabbed behind his back. When he looked towards Al he saw people were picking him up as well. " Brother!"
" Al!" He stretched his arm out, so did Al. They tried to grab eachothers hands. After waving them across for a series of times they actually grabbed eachother. Ed gave a faint smile as he kicked the man holding him. He ran over to Al and punched the guy in the face. " C'mon!" He shouted. They ran past all the 'things' in the house and had finally reached the back. Once they ran out the door the shadow that had been talking to their father grabbed Al. " Brother! Help!" Ed's eyes had widened once again as he turned around. " Al!" He ran back towards the house but once he reached the porch they closed the door. He began to pound on it furiously. " No! Give him back! Please, take me instead! Alphonse!"
End Flashback
" Where are you, Al?" Ed said looking at the sky as a tear rolled of his cheek. He heard footsteps heading his way and shouted in the general direction the first name that strangely came into mind, " Winry?"
" Not exactly, but we may need her too." ' Wait, that voice, that's the one I heard that night. He's the one that killed him.' Ed thought angrily. " You killed my father, right?" Ed said with fury. " Oh, so now you catch on."
" Where's my brother?" He demanded. He heard the thing snicker.
" I don't know who you're talking about."
Ed shouted louder. " Where's Alphonse!"
" Don't worry, you'll see him soon enough. But first we have some unfinished business. You and that little girlfriend of yours."
Fullmetal59: ah, poor Ed. (VITBOMH: You're the one that put him in that situation in the first place.) Just shut up, V, no one's listening. (VITBOMH: You are.)
Whatever, please R&R! Please!
