(A/N: *SPOILER ALERT* This story contains scenes from the anime (2009)/manga series. I don't own anything from FMA, I only own my OCs. Rated T for the language and maybe other things, I don't know yet. :3 Well, that's all for now, Enjoy!)

Cayden laid on the train bench across from Alphonse Elric, her head on Edward Elric's leg, eyes half closed, after being suddenly awoken by the train going over something. Al was staring out the window, watching the scenery change. She turned on her back, looking at the ceiling of the train. Glancing up she saw that Ed was watching her out of the corner of his eyes. He looked away, turning a slight shade of pink. She quietly laughed, the hood of her coat falling in her face.

Cayden didn't like being caught up in the crowds and being known by everyone like the brothers were, so she would cover her face with her hood. Cayden sighed, grabbing Ed's arm. Taking off the glove of his auto-mail arm, she started messing with it, turning it in all different directions, tracing the outline of the different parts. She looked up and saw that Ed was watching her again, face confused but somewhat amused. Cayden smiled up at him, taking the glove and putting it back on, placing his hand on her flat stomach. Edward blushed, turning a shade of dark red.

Cayden closed her eyes, holding onto Ed's arm as she started falling asleep to the sound of the train. It was happening again, the dream of what happened that night. The dream didn't happen that often but it did freak her out enough to haunt her. Reliving it more than once was punishment enough but it was her 'toll'.

After Ed and Al's mother died. The woman who had taken care of Cayden since he parents left to help with the war, the woman who had comforted her when they got the news that her parents had died. Helping Ed and Al draw a huge transmutation circle in their father's study. Smiling up at Edward, before bring their "mother" back, her hand in his. A bright flash of white light and ending up in a completely white room, huge gray door, engraved with writing behind her and a ghastly figure in front of her.

"What…Who are you?" Cayden's ten year old self asked.

"Oh, I glad you asked that." It threw up its hands as though it was rejoicing. "I am what you call the world. Or the universe, or perhaps God," it said. "or maybe the truth, and I am also..." It raised its hand and pointed at her. "You."

"What?" Cayden asked, watching the figure, not knowing black tentacles were coming up behind her.

"You wanted the truth! Well here it is!" The figure yelled as the tentacles grabbed onto Cayden, pulling her through the door.

Screaming Cayden struggled to get away from the tiny hands. Head pounding as she was pulled into the dark void. Then with a flash of bright light images and information poured into Cayden's head.

"Stop! Stop this! I can't take it!" Cayden yelled, tears rolling down her face.

She felt her hands burning and she looked down. She was being torn apart.

What…what's happening?!

Then everything vanished. Standing once again in front of the huge gray doors, Cayden wiped the tears from her eyes.

"You've seen the truth, now it's time to pay the toll." The figure from before said, appearing behind her.

"Toll?" Cayden asked, slowly turning around.

"Yes, the toll." The figure said, smiling widely.

Then the ghastly figure's left leg slowly grew flesh. Cayden gasped, quickly looking down at her own legs. Still there. Cayden quickly looked back up at the figure, gasping when she saw Ed behind it, missing his left leg.

"Edward!" Cayden yelled, running towards him.

His back was turned away from her as he stood before the gate, he slowly turned to face her, mouthing the words 'Rebound' as his gate opened up, pulling him back inside.

"No! Wait!" Cayden shouted as she reached her hand out to grab him, only to be grabbed by the tiny tentacle like hands, pulling her away from him.

Cayden fought the tiny hands, trying to get to Edward's gate, only to have it disappear. Cayden quickly looked around seeing another gate to her left. Alphonse sat smiling widely at her. Cayden looked at him confused as the gate pulled her back. There was another figure behind him. Another Alphonse? Only this one was sad and confused.

"Alphonse?" Cayden yelled, fighting her gate once more.

"Foolish girl, you shouldn't fight the truth." The Alphonse that was sitting down said, continuing to smile.

That voice. That's not his voice!

The Alphonse behind him shook his head as he began to break down. Cayden gasped as the full force of the gate yanked her back into the gate. The doors slowly closed as she looked back, struggling to go back. She felt pain in her hands. Looking down she saw that her hands were breaking down before her eyes.

Is this…is this the toll?

Then everything went black. Something, no, someone was screaming in pain. Cayden quickly opened her eyes, sitting up. First thing she saw was blood. A lot of it. Cayden looked herself up and down.

Everything is still here. Then what is with at this blood? Ed? Al?

Hearing something cry out pain, followed by mumbling about how everything went wrong, Cayden looked towards the sound in the dark room. She could barely make out a figure against the wall, a trail of blood coming from it. Cayden jumped up as fast as she could while her eyes adjusted to the darkness.

Edward!

Cayden struggled to get over to him, not looking at his leg. She already knew it was gone without needing to look, not to mention that she hated the sight of blood. Caedyn fell down, wheezing, only a couple feet away from him.

"Edward…" Cayden's voice slowly trailed off as she reached out for him.

Cayden started to see black spots as she used what energy she had left to crawl over to Edward. Cayden sat up next to him, looking into his lifeless eyes. Edward slowly turned his head to her as she grabbed his bloody little hand.

"He's…he's gone…" Ed whispered, tears forming in his eyes.

"Huh?" Cayden asked, letting go of his hand and looking down at her dress.

"Alphonse. My brother, he's gone…" Edward whispered, weakly pointing over to a pile of clothes on the floor.

Al's clothes?

Cayden gasped, tears forming in her eyes. Cayden grabbed a handful of fabric on her dress, ripping long strips off, wrapping them around Ed's leg, trying to stop the bleeding. Something screeched in front of them. Cayden looked up at Ed after she got the last of her make-shift bandages wrapped around his leg, his golden eyes stared in horror at the thing in the transmutation circle. Cayden looked toward the transmutation circle, smoke coming from it. Staring straight into a pair of reddish-purple eyes on the disfigured creature.

"M-mommy?" Cayden slowly got on her hands and knees, beginning to crawl to the creature.

Edward grabbed onto Cayden's leg, trying to stop her from going towards it.

"S-Still active…" Edward managed to say, pointing to the blue glowing transmutation circle.

Suddenly the creature screamed and the bright glow vanished from its eyes. Cayden quickly went back to Edward scared of it.

Cayden backed away, sitting next to Ed again, sighing.

"I'm bringing him back…" Edward whispered to himself, crawling over to a suit of armor, knocking it to the floor.

Cayden sat down, confused, watching Edward as he drew a blood rune on the inside of the armor.

"Damn it!" Edward yelled, "Give him back! That's my brother, damn it! I don't care what the toll is! Take my leg! Or my arm! Or even my heart! Just give him back! He's the only family I have left!"

Cayden sat terrorized, watching Edward's arm slowly break away as he screamed out in pain. Caedyn frantically ripped at her dress again, making long even strips. She ran over to Ed as the armor began to move, wrapping up what was left of his shoulder. Cayden backed up slowly as the armor put its arm around Ed, picking him up. She then when into a coughing fit as she fell down, blacking out.

Cayden quickly shot up, breathing hard. She kicked her legs over the side, putting her head in her hands.

"Again?" Al asked, looking at her, sounding worried.

Cayden managed a weak nodded. She looked around seeing Edward's concerned looked but no one else on the train had taken notice to what had happened. Sighing, she flipped her hood back, putting her hands on her train bench, leaning forward. Cayden turned her head at the sound of footstep approaching them. She made a small squeaking sound, pulling her hood over her head and leaned back.

The conductor walked by taking the microphone of the wall, talking into it, "We will be arriving at the station shortly, I repeat, we will be arriving at the station shortly."

Cayden sighed, leaning her head on Ed's arm, "So where are we going again?"

"Loire."

(A/N: If you want to know Cayden's backstory(when she first started living with the Elric's) just ask and I'll start working on it. I haven't thought of a name of this chapter yet, so if anyone has any suggestions, I'd be grateful and I'll give credit to whoever came up with the name. This is just for fun so if you like it or want more just favorite and comment please.)
