Hey. So how's it going? I know that I haven't updated in like what a mouth and a half to two mouths. I am so sorry but I do have an excuse. The first four weeks after I post the first chapter of nightmare I couldn't write because I was camping. It was hard to concentrate, there was so much to do and even if I could write I couldn't post anything because I didn't have any WIFI or cell service. Then after I went camping I was busy writing this chapter but I decide that I wanted to rewrite this chapter four time. On the bright side this chapter is almost 7,000 words. Thanks to all the people that decide to stay with me. Wow this is a long author notes sorry about that, now on to the chapter.

*Also a little warning there will be a little mature scene, a little half way through the chapter, so be carful.*

Al walked out of the train car and was about to open the door that lead into the next car when he stopped. Al hadn't come up with a plan to lure Max up to the roof. Al knew that Max could outrun him and that Max was stronger than him. Al knew that Jackson and Max both knew vampire alchemy. Al didn't know a lot about it. What's it like regular alchemy just for vampires or was it different. Al took some time to think about a plan. It took a little bit of time before Al came up with a plan. Knowing what he was going to do, Al opens the car door.

Al stepped into the car to see all the passengers were calmly sitting in their seats. The passengers were like dolls. Their eyes stared lifelessly ahead. Their eye's show no emotion, no life and no will to live. Their faces were like paintings. They held no life or expression. Al had never seen anything like this and it frightened him. People are not supposed to look like dolls they were supposed to look cheerful and carefree. Al didn't know how one could take all that away and leave the person looking like a lifeless shell. In the back of the car by one of the seats there was a flicker of movement. Al looked over there hoping that one of the passengers had moved, but the hope quickly died when Al spotted Max. He was kneeling on the ground next to the family of four.

On one of the benches there was the father. He was sitting beside the window. The father looked to be in his 40s. He had short brown hair. He was wearing a light gray button up shirt with dark blue pants. Besides the father was a 10-year-old girl. She had her blond hair in pigtails and her hair came down to her chin. She had a light pink dress on. On the other bench was the mother. She was also sitting beside the window. She looked to be in her late 30s. She had a purple dress with a white sweater. Her light hazel, hair was in a low bun. Beside her was a five-year-old boy. The boy had short brown hair. He was wearing a dark green T-shirt and light blue jeans.

Max was talking in a low whisper. Al couldn't hear anything that Max was saying. If Max was anything like Jackson, then he would be asking questions about Ed. Every once in a while the parents would nod or shake their heads. Al realized that Max was the reason that all of the passengers were like this. Max had turned them into his own personal slaves. They had to do whatever Max told them to do and they had to answer all the questions that Max had no matter what. It's sickened Al that Max has done this to all these people, but that's not the only thing Jackson and Max have to go through all of the train cars looking for Ed. They had to do this to every passenger on the train and what if they didn't find Ed on the train, and then they would have to do it all over again on another train. Max hasn't noticed that Al was in the car. He was too busy with asking questions and getting information.

"What do you want with my brother"? Al asked with anger.

He saw Max jump a little after hearing the question. Max looked at Al. His face showed some surprise, but it quickly vanished. Max now had a stern expression. He slowly got up off the ground and turned so that he was now facing Al.

"Does that mean that your brother's name is Ed"? Max asked with a hint of curiosity.

Al only nodded.

"Where is your brother"? Max asked strictly.

"He's up on the roof". Al said.

Max smirked.

"So, you hate your brother that much". Max said, slowly walking up to Al. "That you would tell your enemy where he is, but I can understand he has become one of us". Max was now beside Al walking to the door. Max added in a slight whisper. "And his own flesh and blood hates him because of that".

Al clenched his metal fist and looked at the ground. He would never his brother for becoming a vampire. Ed never chose to become a vampire. Lilith was one that turned him against his will. Al only told Max Ed's location because it was part of his plan. He wanted Max to ask where Ed was. That was the only reason. Though Al hated that Ed had to drink human blood in order to survive, but if Ed didn't drink blood, then he would lose control and kill a lot of people. Al knew that Ed never wanted to kill anyone and it must've been very hard on him when he did. Al only wishes that Ed told him sooner so that Ed wouldn't have to go through all this alone.

Al wanted to help Ed through all of this, but it seemed whenever something happens that involves vampires Ed would close himself off. Al felt awful that he couldn't do anything to help Ed. Al looked up at all the passengers. They haven't moved and they still look like they were dolls. Al turns around. He wanted to help all of these people, but he didn't know what Max did. Al didn't know if Max use vampire alchemy or if he uses mind control. Either way Al couldn't help them no matter how much he wanted to. Al opens the door. He took one more glance at the passengers and walked out of the car. Al stops before opening the car door that led into the car that he and Ed were first in.

Al didn't know if he should go up to the roof and help Ed. Al remembered how Ed would act when Al would ask anything about vampires. Al didn't know how Ed would react if Al were to join the fight. Things were going to get intense both Jackson and Max are vampire, which means that they had super speed and strength. Al didn't know if he could keep up with him or not. Al decided that he wouldn't go up to the roof. He would just get in the way. He would ask Ed what happened when he comes back. Al just hopes that Ed wouldn't do anything stupid like agreeing to go them just so the passengers on the train stay safe. Al shook his head. Ed wouldn't do something like that. Al hoped. Al was still unsure about the decision that he made. He decided that if Ed was back soon he would go up there and see what was happening. Al just hopes that he was okay. He opened the door and walked in.

Ed's POV

Jackson was following Ed up to the roof. Ed didn't have a lot of time to come up with a plan. He knew that he had to get Jackson away from passengers but after that Ed didn't have a clue what to do. He knew he didn't have long before Jackson suspected something and stop following him. Ed didn't want to fight them, if they were anything like Lilith then Ed didn't stand a chance but if it came down to it then he would fight them. He couldn't let them kidnap him without a fight. Ed didn't know who Michael was and what he wants. If they take Ed to Michael then Ed might never see Al again or worse Michael might want him dead. Ed shook his head he had to come up with a plan before time runs out. Ed was now in the middle of one of the train car roofs. Ed looked back Jackson was right behind him gaining speed with every passing second. Ed set up his speed he was now running at full speed. Ed decided that he was stopped at an empty train car that way Jackson couldn't snatch a passenger and hold them hostage. The last couple train cars were filled with livestock and supplies that was where Ed was going to stop. Ed just hopes that Jackson wouldn't suspect anything before they get there. It was wishful thinking at best but this way no one would get caught up in any of this. Ed was jumping from roof to roof with Jackson right on his heels. Jackson grabbed Ed's black leather jacket and threw him to the floor. Ed choked on his jacket and hit the train car roof with a great amount of force.

"Now where do you think you're going"? Jackson said in a low and threatening voice.

Ed was on the ground trying to get his coughing under control.

Damn it. Ed thought.

He knew that Jackson was going to suspect something but Ed thought that he was going to stop not try and choke him.

"I don't know what you're trying to do but I won't let you do it". Jackson said kneeling down in front of Ed.

Ed gave him a death glare and tries to punch Jackson in the face. Jackson dodged the attack and was standing up a few feet away from Ed. Ed got up off the floor. Jackson stared at Ed not making a move or a sound. Ed's hair and coat flow back in the wind.

"Who is Michael"? Ed asked making his voice loud enough to be heard over the wind.

Jackson's face showed a variety of emotions. First it was complete and utter confusion then he look like he was thinking slowly a smile creep its way onto his face and he looked at Ed. Jackson chuckled lightly but before long it turned into a full blown laughter. Ed stood there he didn't know what was so funny. Ed watch as Jackson was bent over clutching his stomach still laughing like a madman, getting tired of hearing Jackson's laughter Ed snap.

"What the hell is so funny"? Ed yelled.

Jackson stops laughing and look at Ed.

"You are". Jackson said wiping the tears that cleaned to his eyes from laughing too much.

Ed was puzzled.

"What do you mean"? Ed asked.

"It's funny because you really don't know who Michael is. Every vampire knows who Michael is though there are a couple newly turned vampires that don't know. That was what puzzled me at first, but then I start thinking. As I just told you every vampire knows who Michael is, which means that you were just turned. Which only confuses me more what would Michael went with a newly turned vampire. Then, it dawned on me. You possess something that Michael wants, whether that is information or an object. Though I don't know what it is. Michael doesn't like giving out too much information he only told us that your name was Ed and some physical features that weren't a lot. That was it, the rest we have to find out if we wished". Jackson said with a wide grin on his face.

Ed's mind was running around in circles. He was trying to process the information that Jackson just told him. Jackson now knew that Ed was a newly turned vampire, which only gave Jackson more of an upper hand. Ed repeated everything that Jackson said when he stopped. His eyes widened. Jackson didn't know why Michael wanted him. He said that was because Ed possessed information or an object that Michael wanted, but Jackson didn't know what it was. Michael only gave out Ed's nickname. Ed now knew why Jackson and Max were compelling the passengers on the train, it was to get information.

"Why are you blindly following Michael's orders"? Ed asked.

Jackson sighed and ran his hand through his already messy hair.

"Because Michael is someone that you don't want to double-cross if you do, then you would either be killed right away or let go. Though if he does let you go, it's only because he wants to see you suffer. You would have to spend your immortal life running from every vampire because you don't know who you can trust. If you put your trust in the wrong person, then you can end up dead by morning. The reason that Max and I blindly follow Michael's orders is because we both decided to double-cross him. Michael told all the vampires that double-crossed him that if they find you and bring you to him that they would get their freedom back". Jackson said.

He was now in front of Ed. Ed didn't notice how close Jackson was him. He was too distracted with his thoughts. What would Michael want from him? How did Michael know that Ed possesses something that he wants? How many vampires double-cross Michael and were now after Ed? How far would they go just to get Ed? Ed was full of anger, worry and confusion. Ed glared angrily at Jackson.

"How could you use someone like an object just to get what you want"? Ed yelled bitterly.

Ed realized that Jackson was inches from him. Ed tried to back up, but Jackson grabbed Ed's chin. Ed thought that it was strange that Jackson didn't grab his arms and try to keep them apart to stop Ed from doing alchemy. Just then Ed realizes that they didn't know that he can use alchemy with just a clap of his hands. Ed now had the element of surprise. He looked at Jackson. His eyes showed a spark of glee and he had twisted smile, one that showed happiness, but it also showed mischief.

"Yes, I would use any human or vampire like an object just to get what I wanted, but don't be too surprised a lot of vampires would do exactly the same thing, even you". Jackson said with a wide and ugly smirk. "Now come with me". Jackson said as he moved his hand to grab Ed's arm.

Ed notices what Jackson was doing and uses vampire speed to clap his hands together. Ed transmuted his automail arm into a blade and cut Jackson's hand. Jackson yelped in surprise and jump back. He was a few feet away from Ed. Ed watches Jackson, not sure what he would do next. Jackson was examining the cut on his hand. Blood was already pooling in his palm and dripping down his arm. Jackson watched as the cut healed itself and then he wipes the blood on his pants. Jackson looked up at Ed and had an evil, twisted smile on.

"How interesting you're an alchemist and you can transmute anything without a transmutation circle". Jackson said intrigued. Jackson's eyes seem to have darkened and his smile widened. "So, I guess I have to do this the hard way, which is always a lot more fun". Jackson said in a low and evil voice.

Ed got into a fighting stance, waiting for Jackson to come after him, but what Jackson did next surprised Ed. Jackson whips out his gun and aimed it at Ed.

"Don't worry, I have to bring you to Michael alive, but that doesn't mean that I can have a little fun. Since you don't want to come with me willingly you leave me no choice. I have to knock you unconscious, but your pesky alchemy is going to make it hard to get close enough to do that so I decided that I'll shoot you in the head instead". Jackson said, aiming his gun at Ed's head.

Damn it if he shoots me in the head, then it's all over. They will take me to Michael. I can't have that happen. Ed thought with panic.

Jackson fired three shots. Two were aimed at Ed's legs and one was aimed at his head. Ed was able to dodge the head-shot and one of the leg shots. Ed wasn't able to completely dodge the other leg shot and the shot gazed him making a tear in his pant leg. Blood oozed out of the wound and stained his pant leg. Quickly forgetting about the wound Ed ran up to Jackson. He swung his sword left and right Jackson dodged all the attacks with ease. Jackson kicked Ed in the gut, sending Ed flying backwards. Ed stumbled back unable to get his balance he was sure that he was going to fall when someone caught him before he could hit the ground. Ed's gut was on fire it burns, but only for a few seconds.

"Would you two please stop fighting"? A voice came from behind Ed.

Ed realizes that someone was holding his automail arm above his head. He looked up. Standing behind Ed was Max and he was holding Ed's automail arm. Ed started to struggle, but nothing seemed to work. He couldn't get Max to let go of him.

"Find whatever, it doesn't matter anyway because you have caught him". Jackson said calmly and with a shrug.

Jackson puts his gun away and started to walk up to Max.

Damn it, I have to find a way to escape.

Ed thought about if he could transmute a weapon. That was not good; with Max holding Ed's automail arm there was no way that he could transmute anything. Max would see what Ed was trying to do and stop him. Jackson was now in front of Ed and Max.

"Oh, and one more thing, he's an alchemist and can transmute without a circle". Jackson said gleefully.

"Jackson I already know that". Max said with a sigh.

Jackson looked shocked.

"What how". Jackson asked with disbelief.

"Well, if you focus on getting information, then having fun you would know that he is a state alchemist in fact the youngest one to take the test and pass. He has quite the reputation he's known as the Fullmetal alchemist and the hero of people". Max said calmly.

Ed was standing there. He had stopped struggling and was now listening into their conversation.

"You got all that from the passengers on this train". Jackson said with disbelief.

"Naturally, but I also observed the surrounding something you don't do". Max said bitterly. "Did you know that he can bond a soul to a suit of armor, which is also his brother"? Max said.

Ed felt a wave of anger come over him how the hell did they know about Al. Ed started to struggle again.

"What the hell did you do to Al"! Ed yelled at them.

Jackson smiled at Ed.

"I think we just hit a nerve". Jackson said as he leaned over and grabbed Ed's chin.

Ed glared at him.

"How the hell did you know that"? Ed growled.

Jackson let go of Ed's chin and looked at Max.

"How do you know that"? Jackson said, standing up straight and looking at Max with curiosity.

"Because I use my hearing and my sense of smell I didn't smell any blood or hear his heart beat so, I came to the conclusion that his soul was bonded to the armor". Max said simply. "Oh, and don't worry, I didn't do anything to him". Max said while looking down at Ed. "Though that isn't all that I found out. I am actually surprised that you didn't notice this". Max said.

He took Ed's flushed arm and held it up. Max had a death grip on Ed's arm pain soon shot through Ed's arm. Ed has stopped struggling with Max's grip on his arm it hurts whenever he moved. On Ed's flash hand was the ring that allowed him to walk in the sun.

"Oh I know about that I just thought that someone else made it like ours". Jackson said with a shrug.

Jackson held up his arm to show off a simple brown bracelet. Ed could guess that that was the bracelet that allowed Jackson to walk in the sun. Ed felt relief when Jackson said that someone else made his bracelet. Ed now knew that Jackson and Max didn't know vampire alchemy and possibly even regular alchemy.

"Jackson you need to stop assum-"Max's sentences cut off by a bang.

Ed knew that sound and he always hated it when he heard it. It was the sound of a gun being fired. He looked at Jackson. Jackson looked to be in a state of shock. Ed could feel Max's grip on his arms begin to slip. Ed uses this opportunity to free himself from Max's grip. Ed was now free and turned around to see what was happening.

Time seems to slow down. Max was standing there completely still. His eyes were wide and his mouth was open slightly. Right where his stomach was it was sustained crimson color. Another loud bang was heard and time seems to speed up. Right where Max's heart was Ed could see a hint of red. In a flash Maxis body was engulfed in flames. Ed stood there completely frozen. He didn't know what was going on. The only person with a gun was Jackson and he didn't have it out. Ed looked over to Jackson. He had his hands in a fist and his face was twisted with anger. Jackson grabbed Ed by the collar of his shirt.

"What the hell did you do"!? Jackson yelled at Ed.

Ed was a couple centimeters off the ground. Ed didn't know what was happening. Did Jackson blame Ed for what happened to Max? Why would Jackson think that? Ed swung his sword and cut Jackson's arm. Jackson let go of Ed and Ed fell to the floor with a thud. A bang echoed out. Jackson's eyes widened only for a little bit before Jackson's body were to in engulfed in flames. Ed couldn't find the strength to get up. He sat on the floor too scared to move an inch. Ed didn't know if he was going to be next or not. Someone just killed both Jackson and Max and Ed didn't know who or why. Could there be another vampire on the train if so, then why didn't they do anything earlier. Ed didn't know how many vampires were after him, was it possible that the vampire killed Jackson, and Max just so that they could take Ed to Michael. Are they trying to stop any vampires from taking Ed to Michael?

A flicker of movement caught Ed's attention. Ed looked dead straight to see a woman holding a gun pointed right where Jackson just was. She had short blond hair and she was wearing a plain blue dress. Her whole body was shaking and there were tears streaming down her face. Ed looked at her. Ed didn't know what it was, but something wasn't right. Ed stared at her trying to figure it out when he did. It was a face and eyes. Her eye's show no life and no emotion. Her face had no expression. Ed had seen this way too many times. It was the expression that humans would get when a vampire told them to do something. A vampire told her to kill both Jackson and Max. She put her arms down; the gun was now at her side. Ed clenched his teeth and made his hands into a fist. He was the reason that this woman did what she did. He was the reason that all the passengers were in danger. He was the reason that Jackson and Max were here and he was the reason for their death.

He hated that he was being used like a tool so that some vampires could get their freedom back. The woman moved making Ed come out of this thoughts. Ed off the floor and watched as the woman walked to the side of the train. She is facing a large beautiful lake. It shimmered in the afternoon sun. Ed didn't know what she was doing but the hairs on his neck stood up. Something was terribly wrong but Ed didn't know what.

"We're almost at the train station, which means my job is done". She said as she looked at Ed. "He said I had to kill any vampire that was going to take you to Michael".

Ed was about to ask who she was talking about when she cuts him off.

"He told me to tell you this and to tell you that can escape your fate. The vampire is going to take you to Michael and he wants to be that vampire. He doesn't care if any vampire or human gets in his way. He will kill or use them no matter who they are". She said with no tone in her voice.

She turned so that her back was to the lake. She put her arms out to the side.

*Beginning of Mature Scene*

"And that means me". She added in a whisper.

Time seemed to slow down and everything was happening in slow motion. Ed's eyes open wide.

No, she wouldn't. Ed thought with disbelief as he watches the scene unfold in front of him.

She had her eyes closed and the gun in her hand. The woman leaned back. Ed eyes widened even more. Ed began running up to the woman. She was now falling, her eyes snapped open as if she realizes what she was doing, but it was too late to stop her from falling her feet were no longer touching the train. Fresh tears fell from her eyes. The woman screamed.

"Please help me, anyone help me". The woman pleaded.

Ed was now by the edge of the train car roof. He knelt down and extended his hand to her. The women realize what Ed was doing and extended her hand to him. The hands briefly touched one another, but not enough to save her. She plunged into the lake, the cold water soaking her clothes instantly. The woman shivered at the touch.

She watches as the train road away with her hope and the golden eye boy. Her body slowly sank due to the weight of the gun not only that, but she remembered she had stuffed her purse with heavy rocks. The woman could find the strength to remove the purse or let's go to the gun. Her eyes were very heavy and soon enough her eyes closed. Her body sank to the bottom of the lake never to see the light of day again.

Ed watched as the woman hit the water, making a splash. Ed fell to his knees. He couldn't comprehend what just happened. He was so close in saving her if only he realizes what she was doing sooner he could have saved her. Ed slammed his fists down on the ground.

Damn it why. Why did the vampire tell her to kill herself, he could have made her forget? What did he get out of all of this? Ed thought angrily.

Did he just want to kill her for fun, to silence her forever, to torment Ed, to see the look of terror on Ed's face when he realized he couldn't save her, but if the vampire was on the train why the compel someone, why not do it himself. No, the vampire that told her to do this wasn't on the train if they were, then Ed would have already been knocked out and on his way to meet Michael. Ed looks straight ahead. The once blue Lake was now replaced with trees and hills. The train would be arriving at the train station soon. Ed force himself to get up off the floor. He had to erase the passenger's memories before it was too late. He didn't want anyone else to end up like her. Didn't want anyone else to get wrapped up in this, he didn't want anyone else to be used like a tool. He had to save everyone here no matter what.

*End of Mature Scene*

Ed jumps from roof to roof until he got the last train car with people in it. He walked into the car. Ed was shocked by what he saw. Everyone was sitting in their seats with a blank expression and staring straight ahead. No one moved or made a sound. Ed clenched his fists. He was pissed that Max and Jackson did this to all these people. Though it could be worse, they could have been injured or even killed.

Ed went from seat to seat telling the passengers to forget everything that Max and Jackson told them to do. Ed told them that the train did get hijacked, but the Fullmetal alchemist took care of them. Ed went to every train car to see everything that Jackson and Max did. Ed missed the one that Al was in. He left that one for last. Ed was at the door that leads into the car that Al was in. Ed left this one for last because Al would have a lot of questions. Ed had to focus on erasing the passenger's memories, but he didn't know what he was going to tell Al.

Remembering what happened a couple minutes ago. Ed clenched his fist tightly. He didn't know how much he was going to tell Al. Ed would definitely have to tell Al about Michael and how a lot of vampires were after him. Ed didn't want to tell Al about the girl, but he might not have a choice. Al would want to know what happened to Jackson and Max. Though that wasn't all the reasons that Ed had left this car for last. Ed could smell blood all the way out here. Ed remembers that Jackson had shot a passenger in the leg.

Ed took a deep breath and opened the door. The minute that Ed opened the door, he wanted to close it. The smell of blood hit him full force. Ed could feel his fangs in his mouth. He knew that his eyes would turn red at any moment. Ed looks down at the ground, his hair hiding his face and eyes. He didn't want to scare any passengers, but most of all he didn't want to scare his brother. Ed hopes that he could hold out until they get to the train station. Ed didn't want Al to notice that something was wrong. He didn't want Al to see him like that. He never wanted Al to see him feed on anyone. Everything was working against him. He got injured which already put Ed in a tough spot, now he had to stay in a car with an injured person.

Ed looks up through his hair and over at the injured person. His thigh was wrapped in gauze not the best gauze, but well enough so that the passenger wouldn't bleed to death. The gauze was stained with blood. Blood was dripping down the seat and onto the floor. The passengers were wearing a pained expression. Ed had to look away; he couldn't look at him any longer. Al looked up to see Ed standing by the door with his head down and his hair hiding his face.

"Brother your back what happened". Al asked, worried.

He could see Ed's pant leg was ripped and had dried blood on it. All the passengers looked at Ed. some relieved while others look skeptical. Ed could feel everyone looking at him, he didn't like it.

"Well, our hero is back. Where are they, did you let them hurt anyone else or did they get away". A pain and annoyed voice rang out.

All heads turned to look to the injured person. Ed looks back at the injured person; he was the one that asked the questions. Ed was taken aback by what the person said. Ed could understand where the person was coming from. The passenger was angry that Al and Ed didn't stop Jackson time before someone got hurt. Ed looked back down at the ground; he didn't know what to say. He wanted to snap at the person telling him that Ed would never let them harm anyone, but all that would accomplish was more yelling and he didn't have time for that. Ed turned to the side and walk to the bench. Before Ed knelt down, he said one simple thing loud enough to be heard.

"They're dead". Those words left the passenger shocked even Al was shocked.

Al's POV

Al couldn't believe what he was hearing. Jackson and Max were dead. What happened up on the roof? Al wanted answers. He knew that Ed would never want to take another person's life so what happened. Did someone else kill them if so, then who and where they dead too. Though there was a part of Al that thought that maybe Ed was the one that killed Jackson and Max. Al shook his head. That wasn't even possible, but the more that he thought about it the more possible it became. Ed could have accidentally killed them or maybe Jackson and Max threaten someone's life and Ed had no choice but to kill them. Ed did take someone else's life before. He never told Al what happened or how he felt about it. Al shook his head even harder.

He was disgusted that he thought that Ed was capable of taking another person's life. Al was stricken with sorrow just thinking about how Ed felt after taking a life. Al couldn't think about it anymore. He had to ask Ed about what happened up on the roof and if Ed was the one that killed them, then Al would ask Ed how he felt about it. Al wanted to be there for his brother. Al watches silently as Ed knelt down and starts to erase the passenger's memories. Everyone was too shocked to notice what Ed was doing. Al watched as Ed went from one bench to another. Al realizes that Ed was doing exactly the same thing that Jackson and Max were doing. It took Al by surprise.

Al remembers the passengers that were just sitting there waiting to answer any questions that Max had. Al realizes Ed could make anyone do anything that he wanted them to do. Al knew that Ed would never do that, but he could. He hated that what Ed was doing reminded him of Jackson and Max. Jackson and Max turned the passengers into their own personal slaves, but Ed was doing this for the sake of the passenger safety.

Al couldn't deny that taking someone's memories away was wrong. Memories were something special that you can never replace. Al knew that Ed was doing this for the sake of the passengers. Al watched as Ed went to all of the benches, then flopped down on the bench in front of Al. Ed looked out of the window his hair still covering his face.

"Brother"? Al asked.

Ed never looked it Al he kept staring outside the window.

"Yeah, what is it". Ed whispered.

"Are you okay? Does your leg hurt, what happened on the roof"? Al asks quietly with concerned.

Ed tense up when Al asked about his leg.

"Yeah, it's fine". Ed said, moving his leg to show Al that it was indeed fine. "As for what happened don't want to discuss about it here". Ed said.

Al nodded, understanding why Ed didn't want to discuss about it here. There were too many people that would overhear their conversation. Al watched Ed with concerned. His breath was coming out a little fast and out of nowhere Ed gripped his pant leg.

"Brother, are you okay". Al asks, worried.

Ed looked to be in pain.

Y-yeah, just a headache. Ed said through his teeth. His voice was laced with pain.

A couple seconds later, Ed's grip on his pants loosened. His breathing was back to normal. Whatever happened, Al didn't like it. A headache shouldn't be that painful. Al was about to ask more about it when a voice came on to tell the passengers it was time to get off. Ed nearly jumped out of his seat. Ed went to reach his luggage that sat on a rack above their seats. Ed tried to reach his luggage, but it was too far back and he couldn't reach it. Al let out a little chuckle.

"What the hell, so funny". Ed snaps at Al.

He was looking at Al with his fists in a ball. Al stopped laughing and looked at Ed. His once golden eyes were now at dark brown.

"Ed your eyes, they're brown". Al said a little surprise.

Ed's eyes widened a little.

Ed quickly turned around and looked at the ground. Al was a little worried about Ed's reaction when Al asked him about his eyes. Why did he turn around? Why did he want Al to see his eyes?

"Broth"- Al was cut off when Ed broke into a run.

Ed ran out of the train car. Al was left there, sitting in confusion. Just then the injured passenger limp passed Al. He had two people on either side of him helping him walk. Then, everything clicked. Al knew why Ed was hiding his face, why his eyes turn color and why he had gripped his pant leg. Ed was trying to control his blood-lust. Al had been so stupid. The signs were right in front of him if only he had paid more attention to them.

If Al knew that Ed was in pain, then Al could have suggested that they move to another car or open the window. Al realizes that Ed never said anything about it. If he was suffering them why did he say anything? He could have asked Al if they could have left the train car. Did Ed feel like he couldn't say anything, did Ed suffer because he didn't want Al to know. Al knew that Ed would hide things from him, but Al wishes that Ed would tell Al things instead of hiding them. Al wanted to help Ed, but Al didn't know where to start. Ed never said anything about how he was feeling; he would always hide it from everyone even before he became a vampire.

Al knew that Ed was trying to hide what he has become. Ed didn't want Al to see him like that, but Al didn't care. He wanted to help Ed through all of this. Al got up off the bench and griped Ed's luggage. He walked out of the train car. Al was going to help Ed as much as he could. Ed couldn't do this alone, he needed a shoulder to cry on, he needed to know that he wasn't a monster and he would never become one. It didn't matter if he was human or not because he still cared about people's lives.

I hope you like that long chapter, this chapter was actually supports to be longer but I decide to cut it in half. So about that suicide scene I hope that was ok. I want to keep this book at a T ratting so if that scene was M, I am so sorry so don't get mad at me and if it didn't make a lot of sense it would be expand better in upcoming chapters. Also the scenes were Ed was reaching for his luggage. I don't think the trains had racks to put your lugged but I really wanted to put it in there. The next chapter is also going to be long so I don't know when it's going to be up. Sorry for that but thanks for reading.
