I used to never believe in fairytales, they seemed nothing but stories to entertain childern to me. That was, until my sixteenth birthday, ah the sweet sixteen, a girl's dream. I should probably introduce myself. My name is Aminta Anne Wilks, Minty for short. My age is nothing to worry about, this is just a story, so don't fret about it. My name is really the only thing important, well besides the story. So I guess I should begin about oh, let's say to when I was 8...
"Haha! Look at the weirdo! She's so stupid!" a boy yelled, pointing his finger to an eight-year-old me. I looked up to find a group of younger boys surrounding me. Yup, you guessed it, I was made fun of as a kid all the time. People called me a monster, and stupid. And that's when I started to believe them. My parents had been killed protecting me and my sibling by soldiers. That's right, military dogs. I would've been killed too if it weren't for my older brother. He took me to a neighbor, with a wounded arm and stomach. He reached the house just in time for me to be stowed away by the family, but he didn't make it. After my brother's service, they kicked me onto the street, thinking of me as a monster...
Now let's go to when I turned sixteen, and in highschool. I lived in a simple house in the woods, all by myself of course, and lived happily, even without a family I still had the forest animals for company. I had just finished school, and got beaten up by the school bullies, and was walking home with my Ipod at hand, and a black eye. I was humming along, when I heard a familiar bark come from the bushes. I walked towards them to reveal my bestfriend, Jewels, is what I called her. She was a wolf, but hey, company is company. She gave me a worried look, and barked more. I knew something was wrong, so I patted her head and asked softly,"What's wrong girl? Are you okay?"
As if to answer she ran out of my grasp, and deeper into the woods. I followed without hesitation. As we continued running I heard what seemed to be a groan from pain. I ran further, and watched as Jewels barked and ran through some bushes to the clearing by my house. I stopped in my tracks when I heard someone say,"Hey brother! The wolf's back!" I heard Jewels continue to bark, as if calling me to come out. I waited, asking myself if I should trust her or not. I decided I would trust her, and slowly walked out of the bushes, to find a boy and a man in armour. They seemed familiar somehow, but from where?
"Miss! Please help my brother! He's hurt!" the man pleaded in a urgent tone. That voice seemed familiar aswell, but from where?
"What happened?" I asked, being cautious, I mean c'mon I didn't know them.
"My brother got trapped in this weird contraption, and I can't seem to get him out, will you help?" he asked pleadingly. I walked closer to them, and slowly studied the boy, while watching the man in armour out of the corner of my eye. The boy wasn't half bad looking, he looked to be an inch taller than me, and had long blonde hair in a loose braid. He looked oddly familiar too, but where have I seen either of them? That's when I noticed the bear trap clenched tight around his now bleeding leg.
"How'd you not see the bear trap mister?" you asked, still looking at the wound.
"Bear trap?" he replied in a confused voice. I turned to him and gave him a long stare. That's when it hit me, I was looking at Alphonse Elric from FMA. And the uncouncious boy infront of me was none other than Edward Elric. On the inside I was screaming at the top of my lungs in shock and excitement, but on the outside I just went emotionless.
"Uh, miss? Are you alright?" Alphonse asked. I let a small smile spread across my lips.
"Yeah, sorry about that. A bear trap is something that captures a bear's leg. Causing them to either starve, or bleed to death," I replied.
"But why would you want to kill a bear miss?" Alphonse asked in a statement of shock. I smiled slightly, then took the bear trap off of Edwards foot. I heard him moan, but he didn't stir from his unconsciousness.
"I didn't set this trap here, a hunter probably did. I don't kill the animals, they're my company around here," I said with a smile.
"Now let's get you and your brother to my house okay?" I asked sweetly. Alphonse nodded, then picked up his wounded brother.
"Aminta Wilks by the way," I said while walking deeper into the woods, "But you can call me Minty if you want."
"Nice to meet you Minty, I'm Alphonse Elric, and this is my brother Edward," Alphonse replied, "But call me Al please."
"Certainly," I said with a smile. I continued walking when I heard crying.
"What's that?" Al asked in a nervous tone.
"I don't know, but I'm gonna find out," I replied. I took my fingers and whistled. Jewels came out from the bushes and to my side.
"Bring them to my house would you?" I asked her gently. She barked in reply then started trotting in the direction to my house, while Al followed hesitantly behind. I then started running towards the crying, to find a blonde haired girl, who I figured was Winry, crying her eyes out. Now I personally hate Winry, but that's my opinion.
"Hey," I cooed softly to her, making her jump. She looked at me with frightened eyes.
"W-What do you w-want?" she asked in a sorrowful tone. I gave her a sympathetic look, then walked closer.
"I came to see what's wrong, mind telling me?" I asked sweetly while crouching down to the ground beside her.
"I lost my friends," she said a few seconds later.
"Really? Well who are they? Maybe I saw them," I replied sweetly, knowing who she was looking for.
"Edward and Alphonse Elric," she replied, before bursting into sobs. I really didn't want to, but I hugged her anyway.
"Well what a surprise, I have seen them," I replied in a false sweet tone. She instantly stopped crying, and grabbed my shoulders.
"Where? Where have you seen them?" she yelled, shaking me to a pulp. I stood out of her grasp and brushed myself off.
"I found them in a clearing, Edward is hurt but-"
"Oh my god! Ed's hurt! You gotta bring me to him right away!" she interrupted me. I sighed, but turned and headed towards my house anyway.
"C'mon, we don't have all day," I said. She squealed, then ran to catch up to me.
