Hello everyone this is my first fanfiction in years and the first I have actually decided to post. I am going to give you a sample to see how everyone reacts to it. I have about half of the story already wrote. I'm sorry for the Errors this is an unedited version. so enjoy and let me know if you think I should post it. this is my first chapter.

I do not own FullMetal alchemist. However I do own Kate and all of her drama.

Ring ring ring. A young woman runs to pick up the phone she picks up the phone. "Hello"

"Hey Kate, how are you"

"I'm doing as well as can be expected considering my whole family was wiped out while I was away studying"

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about. Would you like to come and stay with us?"

"Thank you uncle I will consider it"

"You know you are welcome any time."

"Thank you Uncle Maes I'll call you later bye"

"Bye Kate, whatever you are planning to do. Be careful"

"Like always, Tell Gracia that I'll call her."

"Ok bye Kate" I heard him hang up the phone. I breathed in deeply. My uncle was my last living blood relative I had considered several times going to live with my uncle and aunt. But I couldn't bring myself to leave my childhood home. I wanted more than anything to see her younger sister again and that is why I had been studying alchemy it had started out as a hobby but when mother became ill I started really studying. I had just learned how to heal my mother when I received the call that my mother had passed. So I began to study human transmutation. I was going to bring my mother back I felt it was my job, Our father was good for nothing, he couldn't hold down a job and wouldn't clean. So I was raising my brother and sister. When a woman told me of an alchemist who would take on young pupils being only 9 at the time most would not take on a pupil so young. That's when I told my family I had to go to see this woman and I did. The Woman took me on as a pupil. I studied for months which turned into a ear then a second before long. My family would call every few days and check on me but mostly to let me know if they were eating and if our father was still working. He was holding up fairly well he was providing for the family and had a steady job. But then the calls stopped I didn't think anything of it, but after a week with no calls I began to worry. I tried calling them but no one answered. I decided to travel home in hopes to find they were okay. Only to find my family's body's bloody in their beds. I quickly became desperate. I had enough knowledge to know what the human body was made of and the ability to use alchemy why couldn't I bring them back to life and so I was setting up I had bought all the needed ingredient, formed the circle. Now all I needed was to add my blood for a soul. I stood over the pile of ingredients and cut my hand. "I need my family please work…" the blood dripped from my palm, I stepped to the edge of the circle closed my eyes. Beginning to consternate on what I needed to do. I gently placed my hands on the outer edge of the circle. The lines started to glow, becoming brighter and brighter with each second. I closed my eyes against the onslaught of light. I opened them again and I was not in my home, everything was solid white. I looked up to see a white shadow looking at me.

"what price do you pay." It said in a mocking tone

"Whatever you want I want my family"

"That I cannot do but I will show you the truth" as the shadow said this I noticed a huge door behind me open and black hands fly out grabbing my arms legs and around her torso. I was pulled back fighting when my right leg and left arm vanished. I let out a horrified scream as I was pulled into the darkness knowledge flew into my brain as I was pulled though the darkness then slammed into the ground back where I started the pile of ingredients untouched but my arm and leg gone. I let out a anguished scream as I pulled myself to the phone. I picked up the receiver to speak to the operator. Managing to saying "I need help" before passing out. I awoke some time later at the local automail shop. I was fitted, attached and starting rehab only a few weeks after attachment. I pushed myself, but I never told my uncle what I had done. What I had attempted and failed so miserably at. I did however discover I could now do alchemy without a circle. Only 12 months after having lost both an arm and leg i was leaving the town I had grown up in. while I loved the town but there was nothing left here for me and so I decided to go and see my uncle.
