Location: East city

" daddy your gonna still teach me alchemy right?" Melissa asked as her older brother was next to her in the car." Of course I will your just gonna be going away for some real high class training so you can be better and handle yourself better incase something happens to you." Michael said as he was taking the kids out " my plan is giving you kids the best I work hard so I can take care of your needs you kids are all I have left and all we have left is each other". He said smiling as he drove though the city " it's about time you kids got new cloths so how bout we enjoy some shopping on my day off "

Melissa smiled "Yay! Shopping trip shopping trip " she was praticly hopping in her seat " are we gonna see uncle Roy later dad?" As her father laughed " you really love the colonel don't you ?" Melissa smiled proudly " of course I do we may not be related but he's been in our lives since we been born and he's always been good to us and I want to work for him someday." she smiled " hey sis with luck we will both be state alchemists together and work in central." Melissa's eyes lit up at the thought " yeah I want to be just like dad."

Lurking in dark ally few miles away unknowingly a dark figure was preparing something as there was cages hiding waiting for the signal to strike.

" I'm letting you kids know the colonel has agreed to take you kids in incase anything bad happens you will be in his custody " the kids nodded " why won't we be staying with grandma?" Alex asked looking at Michael " because grandma hasn't really been doing well since mom passed " Michael tried to smile but it was easy to tell his heart was hurting " you kids are all I have left of her I want you kids in good hands then suffering on your own I won't let my babies on the street I know the colonel won't see you kids out on your own " Alex and Melissa looked at each other " your all we have left dad..say dad can you teach us some advance alchemy I'm tired of the basics I understand it all too well I just want my studies to expand I want to be able to find a style of alchemy best suited for me like you and uncle Roy." She said as they stopped at the light." Well I guess I can't argue you have gotten better why not we can start after supper." Michael said as his kids cheered when he made a turn.

the signal was given and the figure opened the cages that seemed empty but wasn't as there was growling and a whistle. The whistle made what ever was inside the cage to move and attack the target. Melissa happened to look out the window cause she smelled something strange and herd something and without warning there was screaming and car was torn apart and blood went flying as it crashed.

Melissa came too after only to see torn up bodies of her father and brother and she was covered in blood scared confused as she managed to open the back door when the mps arrived to the scene Melissa saw her father's head and she screamed in fear and started crying.

Colonel Roy Mustang arrived as soon as he herd what happened and that there was a female surivor was all the reason for him to rush to the bloody scene. He looked at the accident along with luteniant Riza in horror as they seen Melissa drenched in blood sobbing. The sight also upsetted the colonel looking at the head of one of his best friends " who ever did this is going to pay dearly " he said " luteniant havoc take Melissa get her cleaned up and checked out be prepared for a fight were dealing with a traumatized child." The man named Jean havoc took Melissa luckily without a fight as the shock hit Melissa and she fainted. " looks like your gonna have your hands full colonel..." riza said feeling bad Melissa was taken away

1 month later eastern command center colonel mustang was working in his office on the couch letting Melissa sleep in his knew he couldn't leave her alone he was getting use to taking care of her dealing with her night terrors and getting her to eat,but it was also affecting his health and work as he was investigating the incedent.

After a few months things were getting better as she was presented in her own tailored uniform as a present from the fuher king bradly himself, Melissa was slowly coming back to her old self but also different person then what the colonel was use too. Melissa was given work at the office it took time for her to find her way around at eastern headquarters since she had freedom to roam then cooped up in the colonels office.
