Chapter 3: Found
Al wanted to suprize his father, so he and Nina silently slipped into the house and layed their stuff down on the couch. They tiptoed over to the kitchen door, and was about to open the door when they heard something whimper. "A dog?" Nina mouthed, Al shook his head "it doesn't sound like a dog" he mouthed back. They pressed their ears closer to the door and listened.
"JUST WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING!" Envy shouted. "I-I'm sorry" Edward whimpered, terrified at what Envy would do to him. These last 2 days without Al had meant Ed had constanly been working, and it also ment he had constantly been beat. Picking up a clean frying pan out of the drying rack Envy hit Edward three times with it. Then he threw it at the boy and smirked, "there boy if you still want something to eat go ahead and fix something."
Al and Nina both looked shocked, they snuck away so that they could talk. "Could your father really do something like that? I mean Daddy Envy has always seemed so nice" Nina asked. "I don't know, I've never heard him shout like that before. And he called the thing he hit a 'boy' but there are no other kids here besides me." Al was confused and afraid, was this what his father was really like? did he always act like this when Al wasn't around?
Ed shook his head, he still wouldn't talk... at least.. he never remembered talking. He had come to believe he had forgotten how. Envy snatched up the frying pan, "good now get back to work" he threw the pan back on the rack and kicked Ed in the stomach before he left. Coughing Ed picked his trembling body off the floor and tried to finish the dishes and scrub his blood off the floor. But the floor was a useless task. Everytime he would get a spot clean, more would drip down from a fresh wound.
Al and Nina agreed on a plan, Nina would go back home and Al would hide until Envy left. Then Al would see what the 'boy' was and let Nina know. So Nina grabbed her stuff and quietly left while Al hid away in the closet under the stairs. He waited for about a hour before his father left, then he stiffly got out of the closet and stretched. Making sure his father and really left the house Al entered the kitchen.
Ed didn't look up, he figured it was just Envy coming back to give him another good beating or something like that before he left. But Ed, half dead from starvation and lost in thought, would have never imagined that the one person he loved the most would kneel down beside him and take the filthy rag from his hands. "A..Alphonse?" he whispered looking up at his brother.
Al was confused and afraid, this boy looked so familiar... and he had whispered Al's name. But how could that be? Al had never met this boy before...he thought. "Who are you? why are you bleeding? and what were you doing?" there was a look in the other boy's eyes. A hurt look, he looked back down at the floor and didn't say anything. Grabbing up the rag the boy tried to jump up and run, but he only staggered and fell. All he did and lay there and not move, and he only said one thing "Al"
