Chapter six: My dear friend, Depression.

"Ed! You're here! With me!" Al screamed with joy at the sight of his brother. But the image soon turned gory, and Ed's face was melting off, and blood poured and spurted from his arm…that had been shot.

Ed's face was contorted with rage and pain.

"Help me Al…..save me. Please help me" Ed's voice turned from begging to an accusing angry tone.

"You could have saved me! You could have done something, but no…you had to lay down being lazy, yeah that's just like you to let me die…it's your fault you know" Ed said. Tears were pouring from Al's eyes.

"I'm sorry brother….please forgive me. I couldn't help it" Al yelled out. Ed's hand met with Al's face and Al fell backwards, not by the force…but by shock. Al touched his red face, and looked at Ed, his eye wide with emotional agony.

"I-I'm sorry Edward" Al said getting up. Tears poured from his eyes, ands his voice tremble.

"See! You've always been weak! Physically and more even…emotionally" Ed screamed cowering over Al.

Al screamed out his brothers name to tell him to stop hurting him, but nothing came out, and he watched as Ed accused him, and beat him of what he hoped he hadn't done.

"Alphonse! Wake up" Izumi screamed, and Al's eyes opened startled. Al shot up, his widened eyes went back their normal size, and he looked at his former Teacher.

"Oh teacher" he said, and he hugged her, and Izumi hugged him back and listened to the heart shredding sounds of Al's cries.

&&&&&

"Al that sounds impossible" Izumi said, after Al told her what happened in his dream. (I should have told you this way back but, Ed, And Al were on vacation, and also they were in the middle of a military assignment when they got called off from it.)

"I know it does! But, it made perfect since still…Ed was reaching me through my dreams"! Al said, and rubbed the back of his neck. Izumi smiled at him, and put her hand on his shoulder.

"Lets not over work ourselves with this Al, we need rest" Izumi said, and walked out.

Al took a shower right before it got dark, and tried to rest in bed. But he found this too hard, he had done nothing all day except cry, and explain things, and now he was tired.

Al re thought his dream, repeating all Ed said.

"Save me, save me………

Al flipped his eye open…he understood suddenly. A light went on in his head. He had to save Ed, that's what he had been telling him, but to get to Ed he would have to get to the gate... But he couldn't just summon it, he wasn't that powerful.

Then Al thought of something else…that the gate was basically the gates of hell…in his dreams he had been at the gates of heaven…but the only way to actually get to the gate was too….

The only way was too…perform a human transmutation.

Is that what Ed had been telling him?...it made since…that Al himself would try to bring back Ed…and it would work…it wouldn't be a failed one..Like his Mom?

Yes that had to be it…but then Ed saying it was his fault that he died sunk in, and Al started crying. He was right too!...if he had of been more aware...Ed would be here right now.

Al let his old friend depression sink into him, mind; and body.

A/N- okay so I thought it was interesting…ha-ha….it was sad…..anyway please review! No flames! p.s. Sorry it's so short.

Chapter seven coming soon.
