FullMetal Alchemist

By Jade Andersen

Thanks for comming to my fanfic! I've been obsessing over FullMetal Alchmist lately and just can't seem to get it off my mind! So here is a little story I like to call my own. Hope you enjoy it and come back for the next chapter!

Chapter One

A short golden-haired boy starred off into the distance with a face filled with pain, as if seeing once more the death of his mother. You see, three years have passed since the terrible day when the two Elric brothers barged through the door, unknowing, and happy. Not a thought in their mind of what it would be like without the ones they cared for, not a clue of the pain and agony of the slow and dreadful years that would pass.

Their mother lay sprawled on the floor, a basket of vegetables on its side, and the food scattered across the floor. It had never been the same after that woeful day. And the Elric brothers were left with nothing to hold on to, thus forth, burning their house to forget such memories of the past, and to forget the horrid memory that still ebbed away at their hearts.

They had tried to resurrect their dead mother, but did not know the most important law of alchemy. To receive something, you must first give something of equal value in return. Edward Elric, the oldest brother, lost only his right arm and left leg, but managed to save his younger brother, Alphonse Elric, who lost his whole body, and his soul is now in a giant armored suit. They never tried again after that, but seek to find a way.

Ed starred at the sun as it fell slowly from the sky. Al, beside him watched too. They were both thinking of their mother, and the loss they had suffered. "Brother?" Al began. Ed said nothing. "Do you think we will ever get her back?" The little brother said in a pained voice. "Maybe…but I do know one thing…" Al looked startled.

"What is that brother?" Ed didn't answer for a while, but pulled up his sleeve to reveal his mechanical arm. "We will see her again. Maybe not in this world, but in the next." Al peered into his older brother's golden eyes. "I hope your right." Ed gave Al an awkward glance, but looked once more at the sun setting. I'm sure of it Al…I'm sure of it.

"Hey Havoc? Have you seen Winry anywhere lately?" Ed asked a tall man with brownish hair. "No, sorry Ed. Was she supposed to come by?"

"Yeah, she was about two hours ago. She said she would meet me here. Ug…probably went shopping again…" Ed slumped from exhaustion. "come on Al! We gotta go find Winry! She's loose with our money again…"

The brothers walked down the street with exhausted yet annoyed expressions in the burning heat of summer. A kid had almost run into him and a dog peed on Al. Neither of them were happy and Ed almost wanted to strangle Winry once he got his hands on her. Suddenly barking met their ears and Al straitened up, and let out a wail. He was about ready to run when Ed threw out his hand to stop him. "Wait. That bark sounds familiar." "Maybe it's the same dog…" Al stammered.

"No…it's Den!" Ed realized as the almost-pure-black dog came bounding up the road. "But what is he doing out?" Al asked as the dog jumped up on Ed. "I don't know but I don't think it's good." Ed said seriously, petting the dog's head as it licked his face.

The two brothers ran as fast as they could to the house worried. But most of all, Ed was worried. Him and Winry were close, very close. And he would never forgive himself if anything happened to her.

They barged through the door, breathing heavily, to find that the whole place was trashed. "What happened!" Al said startled. The dog started to whimper and walked into the house with its tale between its legs. Ed could hardly move. She was gone…someone had her, and as far as he knew…she could be… No! I can't think about that! She could still be alive and I'm just standing here thinking about what-ifs! He ran out of the house and looked franticly over his surroundings. Barking came again and Den ran out of the house, followed closely by Al. A pair of shades where clenched in his hands. "Brother! Look!" He shoved the black shades in front of Ed's face. Ed grabbed the glasses and glared at them. One of the eye peaces was broken. "Scar…" Ed breathed. The dog barked again with frustration and started down the road. "Come on brother!" Al called as he ran after the dog. Ed threw the glasses on the ground and stepped on them before starting after the both of them. Scar is gonna pay. He'll regret the day he ever laid eyes on Winry.
