Hello. I've been thinking of doing a Fullmetal Alchemist story and came up with this.
Hope you like it.
I'm going to be going the Brotherhood route because it relates more to the manga than the original. Not that I don't like the original.
Again~ Hope you like it. (The plot starts four years before Ed and Al go to Dublith for Alchemy training)
ooooooo

A child laid, curled up in the woods. The Child opened her eyes to the sounds off footsteps. She looked up to find someone staring her down. Her vision was too blurred to figure out who it was. When The Child regained her vision she found a guy in his mid twenties staring at her from her height.

"...over here guys. I got something you may like." She heard him say to others in the woods.
Three others came out of the trees.
One was a chubby guy with his finger in his mouth. A tall woman with a big rack. And a guy or girl...an it that looked like a walking palm tree.

"You found a brat Greed. What's new?" The palm tree spoke, glaring down at her.
The child glared back, baggy, wet faced and red eyed.
"The kid looks terrible." The woman said what everyone thought.
"Can I eat her?" The fat guy asked, looking down at her with hungry eyes.

"...I'd rather eat you." The child sassed at the fat guy.
The palm tree and the twenty-ish year old laughed.
"I like this kid." The palm tree smirked.

"She looks like she's suffering. Why don't we take her to father?" The lady confessed to the other.
"Father will know what to do." The fat guy smiled. The others sighed.
"Fine...but if the brat wines she dies." The palm tree said, picking the child up.
The child didn't struggle in the grasp of the palm tree person. To her, he felt heavier than she thought, though he was warm.

oooooo

The child had closed her eyes for a second and found herself smelling ammonia and anti-septic. They had turned the corner and walked into a giant white room with pipes everywhere around a stone throne.
"Father. Sorry to drop by but we got something for you." Greed yelled in the empty room.

A man with long blond hair that stretched from sideburns and beard. He walked out of the shadows and down the stairs to meet them. When the man saw The Child in Envy's arms he frowned. She looked as if she had been through hell. She scowled at him and he held in a laugh. The man checked her over and as he did he healed her but it seemed she passed out before hand.

When she woke up, her gaze was blurred for a while and she heard mumbles from around her. She saw the twenty something year old man and two others she didn't recognize. She also felt that she was laying on a wooden crate with a jacket as a pillow and a tattered blanket.
"Where...am I? Who are you people? Where's my mom and dad?" The Child asked the people. She sat up but felt the world go dizzy. The small guy who hand a Japanese samurai style clothing kept everyone at bay and walked up to the child.

The Child rolled over and turned her back to the small man who let out a small giggle and sat in front of the crate, facing away from her. The girl was surprised that the man didn't do anything to her.
"Kids like her are like new born kittens. Let them roam around before approaching it. Greed said to leave her alone until she feels more at home." Dolcetto said and stood up and walked out with the other two.

A few minutes later, The Child fell asleep again. When she woke up she found a juice box and a Styrofoam container that still looked warm. When she picked it up she found that it was still warm. She opened the container and found rice with carrots and peas with a side of chopped ham. The ham was chopped into small pieces and there was even plastic silverware. She smiled at the food and ate it without knowing she was being watched.

After she ate, the Child got up and stretched and looked around the place that was called 'Home.' She walked around the corner to find a tall and bulky man sitting by the doorway than got scared and ran back to her crate and behind it. Martel walked from around another corner and sighed.

"Knew it. Dolcetto owes me fifty bucks." Martel sighed. "Roa why don't you go see if Bido needs anything." She asked. Roa stood up and walked down the hall. After which Martel and Dolcetto walked into the room that the Child was in and let her do what she wanted. But an hour went by and she didn't come out from behind the crate. The two stood up and found that The Child was sleeping.
"Why does she look cute like that?" Dolcetto smiled and so did Martel. Martel picked her up and had her sleep in her lap. When The Child woke up, she was face-to-face with the twenty something year old man and squeaked and hid herself.

"Damn. She doesn't like my handsome face." Greed sighed.
"Because you put your face right up to her's." Roa said in monotone. Martel sighed and tried to comfort her with a small hug. The Child shook as she was hugged.
"Momma..." She mumbled.

"Hey kid I apologize alright." Greed said as he waited for her to respond but she never did. Greed sat down and scratched his head.
"What the fuck am I doing wrong?!" He clutched his head. He looked up when someone touched his leg.
The Child looked at him worriedly. "Don't be sad." The Child said as she gleamed him a slight smile.

"Why are you-You're not afraid of me?" Greed asked, confused by The Child's act of kindness. She smiled at him and held his hand that had the Ouroboros tattoo.
"That's a cool sticker!" The Child said perking up, staring at the tattoo. Greed laughed at the comment. "It's not a sticker kid. It's called a tattoo." Greed pointed out and laughing.

"I totally forgot. What's your name kid?" Greed asked as he patted the Child's head. The Child looked down at her dirt covered feet. "...I-I don't remember..." She said after a while.
"Well everyone needs a name. I'm Greed. The girl is Martel, the tough-looking guy is Roa, the one with the tail is Bido, and the small one is the Dolcetto." Greed introduced. The Child struggled to remember the names.
"Why not give us nicknames?" Martel asked. "But let's come up with a name for you first."

Everyone thought but had no answer until Roa noticed a tattoo on the back of The Child's wrist. "What about Ai...?" He asked. "Isn't that too simple Roa?" Dolcetto asked and looked at the tattoo. "What about Maiya?" "Why Maiya?" Bido asked. "M.A.I.Y.A. It sounded like a good name for her." Dolcetto shied away. The Child giggled at the name.
"You like that name kid?" Greed asked as he smirked and the Child shyly nodded.
"Then from now on. You're be named Maiya." Greed announced.

"Now that we got that out of the way let's get to the point." Greed smirked and grabbed the child by one of her frail arms and sat her in his lap. Maiya cowered in fear as she screamed and struggled to get up but she was too small and frail to get even an inch out from Greed's lap.

"Roa grab the stuff!" Greed yelled over Maiya's screaming. "Greed are you sure you should do this? You're freaking her out." Martel asked as the Maiya was scared out her mind.
"Greed. Let me handle this." Martel said as Maiya ducked into Martel's lap.

Greed sighed and got up. "Fine...I'm not that used to manhandling kids anyway." He said as he turned around. Dolcetto was given a tiny syringe with a red liquid in it. Martel held Maiya close as Dolcetto stuck the child with the syringe. Moments later; a red light absorbed Maiya. She cried and screamed, writhing on the floor. Another moment went by and Maiya fell face down on the floor. She didn't move.

"D-did we. Is she...?" Bido asked. Beads of water started to form in Martel's eyes.

Then they saw Maiya's hand twitch. She slowly sat up, blood spilled from her mouth and beads from her eyes. "That...was mean..." She chocked out at Greed who still had his back turned.
"That was the deal. You'll get one of those once every three months and five years from now you'll be given to one of the other Homunculus. While you're here though, you'll obey me unconditionally because you don't want to know what would happen if you disobey." He turned around and glared at Maiya. Maiya nodded and stood up.

"You'll become a Homunculus like me but you'll be more human than any of us because instead of a whole Philosophers stone put into you all at once. You'll have it in tiny increments which will form your core over time. And the pain will become less and less intense when you receive each dose. Understand? If not then you will when you get older. Speaking of age. How old are you?" Greed explained as he knelt down to Maiya's height. Maiya held up four fingers. "Four years old huh?" Greed laughed.

"Welcome to the family kid..."

The first day as a newborn Homunculus was nothing compared to what is yet to come...

I hoped you liked the Intro...And Maiya is two years younger than Edward and a year younger than Al.
R&R&fave plz and Happy new year~
