Chapter 4: Broken

Al couldn't get the boy out of his mind, he seemed so familiar and being with him felt... right. But he couldn't understand this. He racked his brain trying to think, he wished he could just ask Envy about it but something told him that might be a bad idea. Secretly he watched the boy two other times when Al was able to catch him out. It was in this way he found out that the boy lived in the cellar. "Of course, that's why I've never been allowed in the cellar.

Edward knew his brother watched him, but he kept quiet. He was too heartbroken to say anything he realized he had talked that day that Al found him. But his own brother didn't even know who he was, this hurt Ed worse then any beating he had ever taken before. Although, when he thought about it he supposed he shouldn't be too hurt. I mean they haven't spoken, much less seen each other, in years beyound count. He knew somehow his brother would remember, until then he would just wait and watch... so he thought.

Al, who was outside watching through the kitchen window ducked down when his father came in. Once he was sure his father hadn't saw him Al went back up to his spot on the window. He couldn't hear what was going on, but Envy seemed to be doing alot of yelling. Then Envy picked the boy up off the floor and threw him across the room. Something clicked in Al's mind and he knew what he had to do.

Ed couldn't tell who's screams were louder, his or Envy's but he was suprized the neighbors didn't hear them. "HOW DID AL FIND OUT ABOUT YOU!" Envy yelled for about the hundredth time, but there was so much blood coming out of his mouth that Ed couldn't answer. "ANSWER ME YOU WORTHLESS BOY!" when the kick was delivered to his stomach more blood gushed out of his mouth. "This is it I'm going to die, I'm going to die and I never even got to really be with my brother" he thought glumly.

Throwing the door open he moved infront of Ed just as the final blow was coming. It hit him square in the lungs. He doubled over and gasped for breath. "N-no d-d-don't h-hurt b-b-brother" Al rasped. Envy was stunned to say the least. Not only had he just kicked his adopted son, but he remembered that Ed was his brother and they've seen each other before. That means only one thing, the deal was broken... Envy had just lost both a son and a slave.

"GET OUT! GET OUT! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AROUND HERE AGAIN!" Envy screeched picking up both the boys by the shirt collar. After they was thrown outside Al picked himself up, only to discover that Edward had passed out. He also noted that a unhealthy amount of blood was still pouring out of Ed's mouth. Alphonse picked his big brother up, it was easy for years of abuse and starvation caused Ed to weight less then a feather would, and started walking down the road.

He was exhausted by the time he reached his destination, for Envy's kick to his lungs and carrying the weight of his brother had left him weak. But he wasdetrimined not to drop his brother, he kicked at the door with his foot. It took awhile but finally he heard someone inside yell "coming hold on a second." He waited, the door opened and the last thing he managed to do is mutter "help us" before he passed out.

Nina Tucker was shocked to find Al at her doorstep, holding a boy in his arms, both looked near dead and the boy in his arms was bleeding really bad. As Al muttered "help us" and fainted Nina caught them both. "DAD...DAD COME QUICK!" Shou Tucker instantly appeared "what is it Nina?" "It's Al something bad happened to him and his friend" she looked up at her dad worriedly. "I'll see what I can do" Tucker picked Ed and disappeared into one of the quest rooms and then came back for Al, "We'll find out what happens when they wake up" Tucker told his daughter once Al was settled.

Ok so maybe not ALOT of good things happened. But, the brothers are back together, they are out of Envy's care, and Nina is with them. I'll try to think of more good thinks for chapter 5
