WHAT IF

A story based off of the series FullMetal Alchemist (manga) and FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (television series). It is also a rewrite of my old story Fear of Love.

Summary: Katrina Mustang appears at Eastern HQ and creates trouble for her older brother Roy Mustang. She struggles with her new life she created for herself and comes to realize that there's no time to ask "what if" in life.

Warnings: Violence, Mature Content, Slight Mary-Sue

Prologue: What If?
"What was is no more, what if is just if."
-Unknown

What if...?

That was one stupid question that continuously repeated in my mind. It's like a constant ticking of the clock, always returning to my thoughts every second. I just can't help asking "What if I had done something different, what would happen?"

What if I didn't save this man?

I've been yelled at multiple times by people because of my constant questioning. They always say, "You'll never get to where you want that way." What the heck does that mean? How can asking a question not get me to where I want to go? I don't even know where that is.

What if I didn't point my gun straight at the killer's head?

As much as I've been told to stop asking "What if", I never do it. My mind subconsciously asks the question, wondering if the decision I made was the correct choice. Living life with no regrets is a quote I live by and I don't ever want to make a decision that I will later regret.

What if I didn't pull the trigger?

As many times as I ask the question, I can never find the answer. Is there an answer to a "What if"? Is there a way to figure out precisely what would happen if I would have done something differently? I can only wish I can have the ability to find these answers...

What if I didn't do anything at all?

So ask yourself... What if?
Did you find yourself an answer?

What would happen to me?

Neither did I.
