Alric and Zio's final memories CHAPTER 1

"Edward Elric. The Fullmetal Alchemist. It seems it is time...... for you to become one of us." "hey Al, got any clue where we're going?" Ed looked around cluelessly. It was a gloomy night, and there was no one or no thing to be found. He put a hand on his brother's shoulder and said, "I can barely even see!" "Nope brother, if you dont know than I probably wouldn't either." Alphonse sighed. If only they knew where they were, and where they may be heading. They could be miles away from their original route for all they knew! They were just walking aimlessly through a dark forest that was over-run with cats. And as we all know, Al does get a bit excited about cats. "Nii san! look at the kitten! it's injured!"He exclaimed running over to the tabby. Her side was gashed with bite marks. The helpless little cat was going to bleed to death soon."Nii san, can we keep it? just untill it gets better?! pleassseeeeee?" Edward shook his head sadly. "Al, remember what we promised. If we keep that cat even for a few minutes we could get attatched to her. We may not be able to let her back into the wild....and who knows? She may already have a home....she could just be a night wanderer." Al pick up the small kitten carefully and petted her head. She replied with a loud "mew!" The brothers smiled. She seemed to be in perfect health except for the fight wound. But it had stopped bleeding the instant Al held her. And to top it off, The wound was disappearing right before their eyes, and at a quite rapid speed too! Al quickly let her go and watched the wound heal itself. "Brother... is that for real? Did that helpless little kitten just heal itself?!" Ed blinked a few times, then rubbed his eyes. He yawned and said "Apparantly so, since you saw it too. I thought i was just dreaming. But thats no ordinary cat we got there......" The tabby looked up at him, meowed, and then darted off into the dark. Ed and Al gasped for a second, then ran off behind her. "look Al, i see light! FOLLOW THAT CAT!!!! " ~~~~~~~ I'll get back to you on that later....... right now i just gotta examine this thing you call a 'cat' " said Fuhrer Mustang het back to you on this later.... right now i just gotta examine this thing you call a 'cat' " Ed had decided to take her to the military to see if they knew if anything was wrong with her. Roy sighed and picked up the kitten. He held her and then said, "You know, even though she isnt normal she could still have a name. Alphonse." Al stood up quickly. "Yes, Fuhrer?"Roy smiled and handed the feline to him "Since you found her, I'm letting you decide on what to name her. Just remember that we may as well be able to try to keep her if we can." Mustang turned around. " She could be valuble." He said over his shoulder, then disappeared through the doorway I wonder what i should name you? I know you're not a real cat but.....seeing as how we all thought you were at first, you may as well have a cat name. *hmmmm* let me think for awhile.............*yawn* maybe I wish I could be back in my armor just one more time....so I wouldn't fall asleep...... oh I'm sorry girl, I really do need some sleep.... I'll get right back to thinking in the morning...... Okay Alphonse Elric. I belive you. Let's see if you're able to trust. Everyone deserves one chance in life. "Hey, Brother! wake up!" Al shook Ed untill he stirred. Ed yawed loudly as he opened his eyes. "I think I've thought of a name fo her" Ed blinked and opened his eyes brightly. Glancing over at the cat, he said "Good, now we can stop calling it 'her'." He jumped out of the bed and kneed down to the kitten. "Ya hear that girl? Al's gotta name for you!" He said petting ears softly. Once again, she replied with a loud 'meow!!!' Althought this time she sounded content. She looked over at Al, pleadingly, and he smiled and said. "How do you like the name Zio? " ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Hey , Dad, can i go out? I wanna talk to Uncle Ed." Father smiled. He ruffled my hair a bit and said "Sure, go have yourself a good time." My expression tensed. "daaad, stop messing up my hair! It took me all morning to get it right!!!!" i sighed and stormed back upstairs mumbling "now i gotta fix it all over again...." If you're wondering, I'm Alric. Alric Elric. Alphonse Elric is my father....at least to my knowledge. He swears hes a virgin so he must have adpoted me. But I'm a hyper active 14 year old boy who lives in an obsessive world of spiraling depression and randomness. I'm nowhere near normal, at least not mentally. People say I'm boardering suicidal, but that's just all in my head. Almost everyone I see on the road avoids me......people think I'm "different" just cuz of my abnormally long hair. I dont care what anyone says though, that's what makes me different. Anyone could say anything about me, even my own father, and i would completely ignore them. Theres nothing in this world that could compare to mine. Not even close. "Dad its humanly impossible to **** my hair up like you just did in two seconds!! What the hell did you do?!" Dad chuckled a bit. "Nothing special just ruffled it a little, why is it such a big deal? You're going to see Ed not your wife." I grew even more tense, and my face turned red. The only reason i could tell was my reflection in the mirror. "DAD. JUST GO."He sighed and said "sorry son, I forgot-"FORGOT? no you WISHED i wasnt what you call 'wrong' YOU WISHED!!" I shoved him out of my room and slammed the door in his face. "now just do me a favor and LEAVE ME ALONE FOR AWHILE!!!" .......anything for you.....my beloved son..... I'm dearly sorry for upsetting you....but maybe you should go live with your real father....apparantly I didnt raise you right. I'm sorry for everything. I just want whats best. This can't possibly go on much longer....
