Elsa wanted so badly to look back. the only time she felt safe she belonged since her father vanished was when she was alone with her brother and uncle. Around others she felt like a fish out of water. She was born in this world but she didnt belong unless she was with her family. she wouldnt have minded if things hadnt come apart like it did. but ever since her father disaperd things had never been the same. when all were together it seemed nothing could go wrong. she remeberd the laughter, the rough houseing the happyness. it seemed that her father had been the one keeping things together. Her uncle had done his best to keep the peace but her mother was convinced they were all betrayed and couldnt accept such a strong reminder as her. She would rather be on her own to find her own path than stay at home and continue to cause pain. Anyway her father always used to say 'You got two good legs dont you? then get up and move forward' she held the photo close to her and continued on with out looking back. She knew for things to get better she would have to take that leap of faith. she knew for things to get better she would have to acomplish one of two things or both.

1. find somewhere she can belong and a new life

2. find her father

When she heard her uncle and brother calling for her she had to remind her self the way back wasnt going to help anyone. to keep on going. she still felt a ache in her chest as she ingored her familys atempt to find her and puched further away from home.

"you have any luck?" Owen asked his uncle despritely having searched all of one side of the naberhood

"regretibly no." Al sighed "go back and pack a few basics then come back."

"What about you?"

"I will be fine. just keep in mind we are most likely not going to come back. Elsa is likely going to go after your dad the best chances on both of them is tward eroupe."

"ok" Owen snuck back in just to get a few basics.

meanwhile in a dark cell somewhere Edward saw the pain back with his family through his dreams he wanted nothing more than to come back to them. However, his right arm had been disconected and kept far away from him and his leg had been smashed to bits. he was even more useless than Mustang in the rain. tonights dream was worse than the previous ones seeing Elsa take off. However he couldnt blame her he would have done the same. he was impressed with her she had held on right untill her mother told her that she was hurting the ones she cared about. if he was told that he would have left too. He just hoped she would be alright on her own. He knew that his foes were likely to leave Al alone cause they didnt know about him as far as they were conserned he was gone. So he knew Al and Owen should be alright. he was just worried for Elsa and couldnt help like wanting to send winry flying across a room. She KNEW him better than to think he would abandon them. even if she didnt that didnt give her any excuse to take it out on their daughter just for resembleing him.
