Chapter 2

Ed's P.O.V

Ow… my head, where am I? Ed thought to himself while he slowly turned his head to his right and opened his eyes slowly as he adjusted to the light.

What the….?

"Aaahhh….!" Ed screamed when he saw a large suit of armor staring at him.

"Brother, your awake, what's wrong?" The suit of armor asked him

"Brother…?" Huh. What's he talking about and why is he wearing that scary thing, maybe it's a hobby. Ed thought as he pondered what the hell was going on and why this guy had just called him brother.

"Ed, are you alright, why are you acting this way?" The suit asked again.

"Ed, who's Ed? Who are you? What is this place?" He blurted out while he started to panic.

Don't know any of this, what's going on, wait… who am I? Ed thought.

"You're Ed and don't you remember I'm Al, Alphonse. I'm your little brother, don't you know me. You got hit in the head so you were brought here to the hospital so you could recover." Al said

Wow this guy must be insane or something. I can't be his brother or can I, huh… Oww… my head, I think I'm going to sleep now then maybe I'll wake up and this will all just be a dream.

"Al, what happened, what's wrong?" A handsome man in a blue uniform said while he pretty much kicked the door down and a pretty blonde woman was with him.

Normal P.O.V

"It's Ed, he woke up. But he's acting strange, like he doesn't know me. I'm going to get Doctor Gerald and you can look after Edward while I'm gone." Al rushed out and left Colonel Mustang and Lt. Hawkeye to look after Edward who at the moment was sitting in the middle of the room wearing hospital pajamas looking like hell and still bleeding a little through the bandages.

"Uh…Hi, do you remember me?" Riza asked while she tried her best to seem nice even though she was holding her gun but not pointing it at anyone.

"No, who are you and what do you want" Ed said to Riza with a husky voice and he looked like he was in defense as if they were going to kill him or just hurt him.

"Oh, I'm first lieutenant Riza Hawkeye and this is Colonel Roy Mustang, you know us" Riza said.

"No, I don't, not anymore maybe I did but now I don't" Ed whispered.

Mustang walked slowly to Ed but he started to crawl away from Roy into a corner like he was scared.

"Easy kid, I'm not going to hurt you, I'm just going to check your bandages and maybe redo them, okay? Roy told Ed and tried to make it sound convincing enough to make Ed calm down a little bit.

"I'm fine, just fine and keep away from me" Ed said whimpering as he tried to back away from Roy even more but since he was against a wall already he didn't get further away he just seemed like he was snuggling against the wall like a lost kitten.

Roy looked concerned at Ed and decided to keep his distance to not frighten Ed more that he already was. Riza on the other hand walked over to Ed and laid her hand on Edwards's forehead which made Ed feel a bit dizzy for about two seconds. Suddenly the door opened and Al and the doctor came walking in.

"Mr. Elric, I see you have awakened and your brother informed me that you don't remember what happened to you nor who any of us are, am I correct?" Dr. Gerald asked Full metal as he and Riza led Ed back to bed.

"…" Ed didn't look very happy about being in a room full of strangers and then being lain on a bed like he was some kind of a baby. Also the hospital clothes made him itch and as he started to scratch his left hand he had the biggest shock of the last few minutes.

"Ahh… What happened to my hand?" Ed yelled at the doctor.

Everyone looked at each other and then at Ed.

"Are you sure you want to know, brother?" Al asked but Ed noticed that he sounded terribly sad.

"I'm… I'm your brother…?" Ed asked very annoyed and confused for not knowing what they all did.

"Yes, I'm your younger brother, my name is Alphonse but everyone always call me Al, even you" Al answered very happy about the fact that Ed had changed the subject.

"Al…Alphonse, huh… how old are you and how old am I?" Ed suddenly asked

"I'm 13 and you're a year older than me" Al smiled, maybe Ed would get his memory back in no time.

Roy walked over to Ed's bed where Ed was currently still laying and sat down but instantly started to check Ed's bandages which made the blonde fidget a little.

"Who are all of you anyway and what happened to me?" Ed looked up after scratching the bed sheets for a minute or so, his expression seemed to radiate confusion, sadness and somehow bitterness.

"Oh, before all of you have a long talk, I think that it would be a great idea to send Ed to a check up and make sure his brain is functioning correctly because for all we know he might have some head trauma" The doctor said all of the sudden.

"Shouldn't he at least know our names so he'll maybe remember us better later?" Riza asked.

"If you insist, Mr. Elric, in case you don't know your full name is Edward Elric and I am

Dr. Gerald and this here is uhh…" Gerald's voice faded out as his hand motioned Riza.

"Hi, Ed. My name is Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye, nice to see you awake Major" Riza said strictly but still had a faint smile on her face. Ed's impressions of her were that she was beautiful but deadly and not to be on her bad site. Next and last was Roy, who had finished fixing Ed's bandages a while ago.

"I'm Colonel Roy Mustang otherwise known as the Flame Alchemist, good to see you conscious again Full Metal, you had us all worried for a while" Roy said as he offered his hand to Ed whom he took and gave a small smile to him and then he started to feel dizzy again.

"Ed, what's wrong?" Roy had caught Ed just before he fell off the bed.

"It…It's nothing, I just don't feel right. That's all" Ed was holding his head with both hands and panting for air until everything started to turn more and more black and foggy Ed heard someone yell 'brother' but before he could realize that it was Al he was unconscious and all there was was darkness.
