Hey there! My first FMA fanfic! I feel so happy! (^_^)Hope you enjoy reading it! I sadly do not own FMA
They rushed through the corridors, the agents following close behind. "What are you doing?!" the young girl screamed.
"Believe us," said the masked man. "This is for your own good, the knowledge you hold is much too valuable."
The young dark haired girl did her best to stop running. "What damn knowledge are you talking about!" the masked man grabbed her by the arm and began to pull her away once again. "I may be in honor classes, but I'm not something special. There are much brighter students in my classes! As a mater of fact this girl—"
"Your knowledge—" he gasped as he rushed down the stairs. "Your knowledge of the other worlds is what's important."
The agents were gaining on them, and without fear, they skipped the stairs and jumped straight down blocking their path. The masked man turned around ready to start up the stairs, but instead was greeted by the cold looks of more agents.
"Well," the masked man sighed, letting go of the girls arm and raising his in resignation. "Guess we'll have to go without saying good bye." He brought his hands together, the sound of the clap echoing in the large school. He then quickly slammed his hands to the wall and before the agents could begin shooting, he grabbed the girl and dragged her through the blue portal.

I woke up in the arms of a masked man. I was wrapped in what I presumed was his black cape, for he looked like the type of guy to wear a black cape. He was carried me in his arms through a forest.
"Where are we going?" I asked hoarsely.
"I'm taking you to your new home," I looked to the side and I stayed silent as we walked out of the trees. As he kept walking, I could make out a city. With lit lampposts on the streets and houses with glowing windows.
"When the time comes that your memory returns, hopefully it will be too late for them to make use of your knowledge. Though if other wise, if you recall your old thought sooner than what we hoped, don't tell anybody." The masked man never looked down to me as he spoke. His eyes were set on the city that we approached. "None the less," He continued, "I will be watching you from afar, so that you are always safe" he then set me on the ground and looked at me. "Understood?"
I pondered over what he had said, until I finally was convinced that I could remember what he had said for the future. "Yes sir." I said softly.
I did not know this masked man, whether he was good, or bad, if I should trust him or not. But something about him, simply told me not to care and just do as I was told.
He took back his cape, then took my hand and led me through the city. I wore a simple white dress, which had short sleeves. My hair was short and curly and had a red ribbon tied around.
We arrived at a large building. On the front there was a large banner that covered most of the middle column; the banner was green and had a big lion on it. He walked me over to the stairs and sat me on one of the steps. "Stay here, they will be heading home soon." He said and then walked away.
I sat on the step pulling on my dress. It was around five fifty, and it was a cloudy day, so there wasn't much light, but it wasn't completely dark out either. I began to hum to myself and sway from side to side to pass the time.
Some people in blue uniforms went into the building and some came out. I stopped humming to myself when I saw some of them staring at me. 'the masked man,' I thought, 'said that he was taking me to my new home. But then he left me here on these steps. So is this my new home?' I strange panic began to creep into me; I looked frantically around for the masked man, but instead I saw a short blond haired boy and a large suit of armor walking towards me. The Blond boy looked at me, and I quickly turned away feeling embarrassed.
The boy walked past me but the suit of armor stayed behind and sat next to me.
"Hi" he said in a voice that in no way matched such a large suit of armor. "Are you waiting for some one?" he asked.
Without looking at him I managed to stutter a response, "I-I don't k-know." I looked at the armor man through the corner of my eye. He wasn't looking at me.
"My name's Alphonse Elric." He said in a cheerful voice, "what's yours?"
I opened my mouth to respond, and then closed it. I had no clue what my name was. So in a more confident tone I said, "I don't know?"
"You don't know?" Alphonse exclaimed. "How is that? Did you hit your head and get amnesia? Where do you live?"
"Well," I paused to think. Alphonse seemed trustworthy enough. "A man said he was bringing me to a new home, and then he left me here! I have no idea what my name is or where I'm from, or where my home is supposed to be! Maybe I'm supposed to live here from now on, here on these steps." The latter I said more to myself than to anyone else.
"On the steps!" he stood up, "that's crazy! You can't live here!" he turned around as if looking for someone. "Oh I know!" he shouted grabbing me by the hand, "you can come with us!"
We ran towards the entrance of the building. There was a woman in a blue uniform and short black hair coming out of the door. "Hello Alphonse." The woman greeted him.
"Hello Lieutenant Ross!" Alphonse greeted back. "Have you seen my big brother?"
"Oh yeah, he was on his way to see Colonel Mustang, and from the shouts that everybody still seems to be complaining about, I would say he's still up there."
"Thank you!" Alphonse shouted as we began to run again. I looked back at the woman who was still standing there looking at us with a confused look.
We ran up a series of stairs. When we got to the door of the mentioned Colonel Mustang, I was out of breath, and really tired. Alphonse on the other hand didn't seem to feel all the stairs and the running we just did.
When Alphonse noticed that I was panting and on my knees fighting for air, he apologized multiple times. Once I was breathing normally again and wasn't red as a tomato, I looked up at Alphonse and confused I asked, "Aren't you tired Alphonse, sir?"
"Oh!" Alphonse said a bit nervously, "Well, um, I am older than you, so it takes a bit more than that to make me tired. Hehe," he laughed, "And I mean how old are you?" I simply shrugged, and Alphonse sighed. "Well you look about seven," as he told me what he thought my age was the door opened, and out came the short blond, and a blond woman wearing her hair up and a blue uniform.
"Hello Alphonse," Said the blond woman.
"Hello Lieutenant Hawkeye." Alphonse responded as he stood up from the being on his knees so he could be at eye level with me. "How are you today?"
Lieutenant Hawkeye smiled, "I'm well thank you. I'm on my way to file these reports."
"About a case that happened long ago, and Mustang barely got around to finishing." The short blond rolled his eyes.
The woman shook her head and then smiled at me before walking away. I stayed close to Alphonse, as the short one whined about a mission. I pulled on Alphonse's armor and signaled him to come closer. I cupped my hands around my mouth and as if I was whispering into his ear, I asked, "Who's that short blond boy?" When I said short Alphonse seemed to have flinched, and I though I heard a small whimper. He looked over the boy who simply looked at us puzzled. He had obviously not noticed me standing there before.
"Don't say anything about his height," Alphonse warned before standing back up and cheerfully saying, "I want you to meet my big brother! Edward Elric, the FullMetal Alchemist!"
I tipped my head to the side and stared at Edward. He was a lot shorter than Alphonse; it did not seem likely that he was the older of the two.
There was a moment of silence, an awkward silence. "And you are?" asked Edward.
"Uh, I-I don't know." I replied meekly.
"She has no idea who she is, or where she's from. She was left on the steps and told that she'd find her home there." Alphonse filled him in. the entire time Edward simply started at me, and I did the same.
"So, what's your point?" Edward said coolly.
"Well, I thought maybe she could come with us," Alphonse said hopefully. Edward looked back at me and I lowered my gaze, not knowing what else to do.
