-Author's POV-
"You ready, guys?"
"Yeah!"
"I guesso.."
"Then let's do it!"
The three Elric siblings put their hands on the transmutation circle, hoping to return their mother back to the land of the living.
The oldest was the 15 year old, Cici Elric. She had short, blonde hair, and blue eyes.
The middle sibling was the 12 year old, Edward Elric. Short, blonde hair also, and golden eyes.
And the youngest, a 11 year old. Alphonse Elric. His hair was shorter than Edward's, and he had golden eyes also.
Their mother, Trisha Elric, had died due to a sickness. Their father, Hohemheim, had ran off when Cici was only 4.
Edward, Cici, and Alphonse all have something in common other than their family. They all committed a crime by performing human transmutation, a forbidden science, and paid the price with parts of their bodies.
-Cici's POV-
I don't know what happened after Ed, Al, and I started the transmutation. I just seemed to zone out. I heard screams, but I couldn't get my body to move. Then finally I heard Ed.
"Ci..ci...P-please..help.." my younger brother's weak voice whispered.
I quickly forced my body to move, turning around to see something I'd never thought could be possible. There Ed was, leaning against the wall, his right arm and left leg gone. "ED!!!" I cried out.
But, what I did next, I forever regret...
I quickly clapped my hands and put them down by Ed's body. I was trying to heal his arm and leg, forgetting the first law of alchemy. To gain something, humankind must sacrifice something of the same value. Before I knew it, the mighty forces of alchemy had taken my arms and legs, and I fell down by Ed, who was barely conscious. His arm and leg hadn't returned, either. Typical, I got nothing but I paid for it with my limbs. Great, just great.
I slowly fell into unconsciousness. I don't know what happened next, though. Ed tells me now that blood seeped through my closed eyelids like tears. Then Al always chimes in, coming to the conclusion that alchemy had taken my limbs and eyes, and that maybe it had slowly chopped at my eyes from the sockets until they were gone. I don't care what happened, though...I just wanted everything to be right again.
The next thing I knew, I was in a bed. I recognized the scent of the room. I was in the Rockbell's home! I heard my best friend, Winry Rockbell, screech.
Now, I always considered Winry to be a sister. We did everything together. I even called her my sister at times. She had long, blonde hair, and usually wore dresses. With her grandmother, Pinako Rockbell, she was an automail engineer. Automail is a metal that is very strong, and y'know what? It works great with alchemy! Anyhow, you must be wonderin' who Pinako-chan is. Er..Well, I can tell you one thing about her, DON'T insult her, or you're in for a butt whoopin'!
Pinako Rockbell is, like I said earlier, Winry Rockbell's grandmother. She's also an automail engineer. She's got enough get-up-and-go for atleast 30 people. And she's a pain in the neck..But don't tell her I said that!!! I reaaaally don't want my eyes ripped out. She did that once, and it hurt like HELL! But hey, I need to stop blabbering. You probably wanna know what happens next, huh? Now where was I..oh, I remember!!
Winry let out a screech. "Al! You're on! I mean, er, you're awake!!"
I then let out a groan. "Winry? Al?"
"Cici! You're awake!" Winry and Al yelled together in glee.
I started to panic. "Al, Winry? Why can't I feel my arms and legs? A-and why can't I see?!" I asked in a rush.
"Well..Um..You see.." Al tried to explain, but got interrupted by a certain old woman.
"You and your brothers tried to bring your mother back from the dead! And you tried to heal Ed's wounds, so you lost your limbs and eyes! I have no sympathy for you, young lady!!" Pinako's voice roared. "In fact, if it wasn't for Winry, I wouldn't have even let you in this house!"
I just whimpered at the sound of Grandma Pinako-chan. When she yelled at you, you DIDN'T wanna argue. Trust me, I would know.
"Aunt Pinako, please calm down! I know, we did some stupid things, but can you blame us?" Ed's voice said.
"Yes I can, Ed. Just like this!" Pinako yelled, then I heard Ed scream in pain.
I just laughed, and Winry looked at me, though I couldn't see it. "Cici, you don't wanna see how Al is.." she said.
"Huh? Why not?" I asked.
"Because..He's.." Winry's voice trailed off.
"He's stuck in a suit of armor your mother had, and it's because you, him, and Ed were being idiots!!! And this moron of an Elric gave his arm to put Al's soul in the armor!" Pinako yelled, then went off on a rant about idiotic Elric children. I think. Hey, I wasn't paying attention! I was in shock that my sweet youngest brother was in a suit of ARMOR. Wonder which one it was...
"But let's not worry about me! You and Ed are hurt" Al said.
"Yeah!" Winry agreed.
Hours later...
"Aunt Pinako, there's some money in a closet at the house.." Ed began.
"I'm sure it's safe" Pinako replied, finishing wrapping Ed's bandages.
"No, that's not it. I want you to take it. As payment. For..automail" Ed muttered.
