Hello, it's time for obligatory author's comment before the story. Hurray, fun time! I really can't tell you why so many of these are for the first anime, seeing as it's been years since I've watched the whole thing, and Brotherhood/manga is much more fresh in my mind. I guess it's because the characters are just more brooding and kind of depressed in the first, which is great for this story. (: I guess I'll shut up now and go on with the drabble.

A Need

That didn't just happen! That didn't just happen! Mommy! Mommy! Wrath stumbled blindly through the forest as fast as his burned legs could take him. He needed to get back. Back to where Envy was going. Back to where the philosopher's stone was. It could bring her back! He needed to try.

The uneven and rocky forest floor caused the panicked sin to loose his footing, splayed out on the ground. Spitting a curse out through his tears, he quickly pushed himself up, trying to ignore the shooting pain up through his right arm, a reminder of how he had screwed up. How he let mommy get killed.

No! No! It wasn't his fault! It was Edward! He was the one who had killed her! She was his mommy too and he killed her without a second thought! And then she… she'd been nice to him! Told him and his stupid brother to take care of themselves! Wrath stopped in his frantic running, shaking his head as the confusion overpowered him. It didn't make any sense! Even if she was his mommy, he had still killed her! He didn't deserve her kindness!

And mommy… she hadn't even looked back at him. Had called him a fool. It wasn't his fault though! He forgot the packet was there! He forgot! It was Ed's fault for bringing it in the first place! He was the one who killed her! But then why did she choose to focus on her other sons as she died? Her real…

No! It didn't matter what anyone said! She was his mommy and he was going to bring her back! He'd fix her. He'd fix everything! Unlike those idiotic Elric brothers he wouldn't mess up.

The unbalanced child began running forward again, determination set into his wild and tearful eyes. He had to hurry and get the stone! It was the only thing that could bring mommy back to life! He needed it for mommy! He needed it right now!
