Author's Note: To answer a reviewer's question, no this is not from the anime. There was a separate episode where Ed and Winry get kidnapped but this is a different situation. That episode (if you still want to know) is from the first FMA not brotherhood, I think it was episode 8. Anyway enjoy reading! I still feel evil especially after while writing this chapter… you'll see.

Chapter Eleven: Unreachable

The next morning was not a relaxing one for poor Alphonse. He searched and searched for his brother and Winry but he had no such luck finding either one of them. He began feeling helpless after several hours of searching. He had passed by countless other people who were also in the search for his brother and recently added Winry, and he had asked every single one of them if there were any clues in finding the both of them. Nothing. Alphonse was getting desperate and started screaming out for the both of them.

"ED! WINRY! PLEASE WHERE ARE YOU GUYS!"

He ran through the streets screaming and begging to see his brother and Winry. He would cry desperate tears if he were able to but that was impossible. He screamed and screamed, but it was futile. He fell to his knees and screamed as loud as he could. He wanted his family back. He didn't want to be alone anymore. He had never felt this lonely before. He wanted to see that Winry was okay. He wanted the loneliness to go away. But what he wanted the most was to see that his big brother was okay and out of danger. He didn't want his brother getting hurt because of his own mistake. He felt so guilty and helpless. He muttered his brother's name over and over again, in the middle of the sidewalk not caring about what people might think of him.

"Ed…Ed…please! Come back… I don't want to be lonely anymore…Ed…"

A man in a military outfit walked down the side walk and noticed a large suit of armor there. It was just sitting on the sidewalk not moving. He quickly ran towards him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Alphonse? Are you alright? What's wrong?"

The man was the Colonel. His dark eyes looked at Al with deep concern.

He must be so worried about his brother and Winry. I can't imagine how he feels right now. His brother is all he has left and with Ed missing he must feel so scared inside. He isn't even moving; the poor kid. He shouldn't be put through this…they have enough trouble as it is. Damn it all! Where the hell did that wacko take Ed! And where the hell is the girl! More and more problems keep coming up!

"C'mon Alphonse, let's go to the office and see if Hughes found anything. C'mon get up."

Not even a flinch came from the boy.

Mustang gave a long sigh. It was just like when he first saw Ed in the wheelchair. Al was lifeless. He needed his brother.

"Alphonse Elric! Get up this instant! You do not have the time to give up on this! We still have a day to find Ed and you can't waste this chance by doing nothing to help find him! Stand up and help us with the search! Would your brother be like this if he found that you went missing? NO! He would do absolutely everything he could do to find you! Now c'mon and come with me to headquarters!"

Mustang's words seemed to make it to Al's lifeless body and he stood up and looked down at the colonel and nodded his head.

"Yeah let's go. Thanks Colonel, sir!"

Mustang smiled and began walking with Alphonse to headquarters to find Edward and Winry.

…

Ed woke up with pain radiating throughout his whole body. He felt cold and hot at the same time (which at the time made no sense to him at all since he didn't realize that it was caused by his fever.) He still couldn't see a thing, thanks to the blindfold, but he was a bit thankful for that because he could feel more cuts on his body now and wasn't that excited to see his own body cut up and covered with blood. He was kinda getting used to being injured but it doesn't mean that he liked it. He tried to free his arms again for the hundredth time but still had no luck loosening the stupid cuffs. And then he heard a muffling noise, it seemed to be a girl that was making a noise. But Ed couldn't hear her properly due to the ringing in his ears.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"Mmmmmm! Mfff!"

"I'm guessing he put a gag on you so you can't talk to me…I'm Edward Elric if that is of any help to yo- cough! Cough!"

Winry struggled against the ropes that were tying her down to the chair. She wanted to get him out of here! She was inches away and couldn't give him the slightest comfort. He didn't even know it was Winry who was right beside him. She wanted to take the stupid gag off so he could at least know that she was right there with him.

Ed stopped coughing and was just panting. Winry figured he couldn't talk much anymore or else it would just result into him having another coughing fit. As far as Winry could tell, they still had today to be rescued, which hopefully was enough time for the Colonel and Al to find them. She wondered if they noticed that she had gone missing too or if they were too busy looking for Ed.

Doesn't matter much anyway, since I'm here with him. So if they find Ed they find me as well. I just hope they come here soon. Ed looks like he hadn't eaten since he was kidnapped. Has the wacko even given him water to drink? Ed might not even make it to tomorrow if he doesn't take care of him… stupid fever! He would last longer if the fever wasn't here…please find us please!

Ed noticed that the girl had gone quiet but he didn't mind much. It's not like she could talk anyway.

I wonder where I am… and why the others haven't found me yet. Are Al and Winry managing without me? I hope they haven't gone nuts worry about me yet… no Mustang wouldn't let them get like that. I'm sure of it…"

Then the door opened entered the alchemist with a big smirk on his face. The blood left both of the hostage's faces as they thought about what he would do them next.

Author's Note: I feel guilty making Al go berserk… oh well, he went back to normal anyway so my conscience is clear (from that one…not so much with Ed and Winry…)
