• Chapter 5: Sorrow's intentions


    Alice ran her fingers through her brown hair sighing. She closed her eyes and let out a small smile.
    "Look, I don't plan on hurting ya at all but if you don't tell us what or who you are and what your intentions are things are going to get ugly." said Alice.
    Sorrow bit his lip and trembled, he looked at Alice and the Elric brothers with a slight fear in his eyes. Alice tapped her foot and put her hands on her hips.
    "C'mon, hurry up. You shouldn't be scared of us so tell us who you are." said Alice.
    Sorrow closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
    "My name is Sorrow, and yes as you can see I am a homunculus but I'm different from the others. I'm actually good, I swear." replied Sorrow.
    Edward remembered his encounters with Lust and Gluttony then looked at Sorrow.
    "You claim you're good, but should we trust you?" asked Edward.
    Sorrow looked in Edwards eyes then looked away and nodded.
    "You have to trust me. The other homunculi hate me besides Chaos." replied Sorrow.
    "Chaos?" asked Al.
    "He's a homunculus that protected me from Father." replied Sorrow.
    Alice opened her eyes and let out a warmer smile.
    "I see, you and Chaos were running away from this 'Father', right?" asked Alice.
    Sorrow nodded in reply and looked down then opened his eyes and looked up at Alice.
    "What will you do with me now? If you don't trust me, I understand." asked Sorrow.
    Alice set her hand on Sorrow's shoulder and kept her warm smile.
    "Nothing, I'll trust you." replied Alice.
    Tears fell from Sorrow's eyes after Alice spoke. He hugged her and cried happily.
    "Thank you." said Sorrow as he let out a small smile.
    Edward started to smile as Sorrow hugged Alice.
    "I'll trust you. As long as you don't betray us." said Edward.
    "I'll trust you too Sorrow." said Al.
    Sorrow kept his smile and stopped hugging Alice then wiped away his tears.
    "May I ask of your names?" asked Sorrow.
    "I'm Alice Saph. My last name is easy to remember, it's almost spelled like Sapphire but with out the extra 'p' and the 'hire'." replied Alice.
    "I'm Edward Elric, known as the Fullmetal Alchemist." replied Edward.
    "And I'm Alphonse Elric." replied Alphonse.
