Chapter Five: Her promise

"You want to do to another play Al?" Edward said crossing his arms over his chest seeming annoyed. "Well not exactly, we have seen plenty of plays this week, hmm there was a pianist we had seen yesterday along with a remastered version of Romeo and Juliet, and before that there was some sort of thriller we had seen, I am thinking about a poetry play today!' he gleamed.

Edward raised and eyebrow wondering "What is God's name is a Poetry play" he said.

"Well I don't know the exact name but it's a play only instead of scripts they speak poetically" he explained and blew some of his dirty honey hair from his forehead and slipped his hair into a ponytail which he had yet to do in a very long time.

"Ughh your killing me, I don't want to go anywhere" Edward said and pointed, "Hmmm tell you what, how about this, we go, but after we go to that restaurant again and you will have yourself a deal" Edward stated and it was made official.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The two brothers were seated in a crowd, rows of red lounge chairs went back while the front held the stage. it seemed to be set to look like a house that you could see into obviously, and then you could see how the outside was decorated to look like a rainy day.

The play started out with two people, a man and a woman, both arguing harmonically and outside sound effects went off showing that outside it was thundering. 

the crowd gasped, everything moving fast on the stage.

The two parents fought consistently, beating each other, Edward had to keep reminding himself it was just an act.

But it seemed so real. The woman had mossy blond hair that was ratty and tangled and brown eyes while the father seemed wrinkled, not with age, but with what he had been, and alcoholic obviously was the part.

When suddenly the scene changed to a girl, and a boy. the girl had black hair that just barely reached her shoulders and bright blue eyes. the boy had a ash color to his hair and green eyes, his expression that played on his face was obviously indicating he wanted his way.

Suddenly the intense stage began to stop and it went quiet as the girl cried feeling hopeless. She pushed away the boy. Everything as still as death as he was gone, even the parents seemed to be dead, not the center of stage now. Both brothers eyes opened up and they could hear faint words, they got loud louder as they heard the words leak out of the young girls mouth.

What you see is nothing compared to the real thing

a piece of flesh

a hunk of meat

thats all you seem to see of me

I have a secret

one behind these cyan eyes

one that could make you sick

one that might make you cry

BUT PLEASE DONT LET THAT SCARE YOU!

I am only a lonely girl

who's cold and alone

and seems lost in this world

Please hold me, and never let go

Whisper in my ear, and tell me its okay

and send the shivers down my neck

avoid the sadness in my eyes

and find the glint of hope that resides

in the confines of my mind

I want love

I want pain

I want everything as long as you give that to me

because as long as it's someone who truly cares

I am willing to go through any scares

Save me from myself, and I promise to do anything of your command.

that I promise

but only if you promise to love me.

The curtains began to close on the girl and everybody cheered, it wasn't a happy ending, but the meaning was that she finally got to speak.

"Okay so did you like that?" Edward said. Alphonse nodded.

"uhm...yeah, I did, it just seemed a little to real for my taste...she said that a little to passionately" he said.

"Oh your over reacting, COME ON IM HUNGRY! Now I am all depressed, now I am starving" Edward said dragging him out of the theater.

The girls voice kept going through his mind, her poem, could she have written that herself he thought.

he shrugged, "Oh well, lets go get you that food you have been day dreaming a lot about" he said with a chuckled and Edward licked his lips.

"Now we are talking.

Author's Note
