Author's Note: ok, I've decided to give the fandom of fullmetal alchemist a try. I love the anime (especially brotherhood). Now, this is my first time writing, and while I love to receive constructive criticism, try not to be too harsh with me at first. This first chapter is in the POV of my new OC. The setting is somewhat of a mix between the original and brotherhood, along with my own storyline thrown into it. Enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist.

You know, there aren't a lot of things that I can remember about that night. But that doesn't really surprise me. What does surprise me is how I remember the most horrifying things with such clarity that when I have flashbacks, it's like I'm reliving the entire night all over again.

The first thing that comes to mind is tombstones; rows and rows of tombstones. It is dark outside, and very cold. My sister, Sarah, stands next to me, shivering violently while trying to read some kind of textbook. I don't remember what kind it is. I'm flipping through my own book, but the words are blurred, and I can't see them clearly. Time kind of fast forwards, and Sarah and I nod to each other, and press our hands on a poorly drawn circle in the wet grass.

I see black things, a purple flash. I hear a scream that is not my own, and suddenly the grass isn't wet with water, but stained with the crimson hue of blood. And it's my blood. I remember thinking, I have to save her! I hear another scream, and deduce them to be coming from Sarah. I sit up, but I don't remember what I see. I feel lightheaded, but I see something, and I finally scream out,

"Me! Use me instead! Just take her with you!" The purple light fades out. Silence falls, and then there is nothing left. Nothing left. Nothing le-

Author's note: well there you have it! I'm assuming that most of you can pretty much guess what happened, but for those that don't, you will know eventually. Be prepared for lots of OC's. Review please!
