"Winter!", my mom called from the kitchen, "Get up! I've got to go!". It was barely light outside.
I stumble out of bed and into the kitchen. My mother stood in full military uniform at the door. My breakfast plate was on the table.
To the people of Amestris, my mom was Lieutenant Risa Hawkeye.
"Eat your breakfast!", she ordered, "and don't go back to sleep or be late to school!"
I sat down at the table and sighed, "Early start, again?"
"Yes, sorry!", she sighs, "I'll probably be home late, too."
"It's fine!", I smiled, eating the food she'd made.
"See you later!", She smiles, "Love you!"
She opens the door and walks out.
"I love you, too, Mom!", I say as the door shuts behind her.
I finish my breakfast and get dressed. My long blonde hair fell neatly past my shoulders and down my back. My mom's brown eyes stare back at me in the mirror. I sigh and braid my hair, so it touches down in the middle of my back, instead of my usual half ponytail. I should know by now never to mix up my routine! Guess I'll never learn.
I was twelve years old but I could easily pass for older. I sigh and turn my back to the mirror. I was free to do whatever I wanted until I had to leave for school. So I decide to indulge in my favorite pastime. I curl up on the couch with a book on Alchemy.
It'd always been just my mom and I. I'd never even met my father. Mom told me they could both be court marshalled if anyone figured out who my father was.

"Fullmetal! Pay attention!", Colonel Mustang chastised the young alchemist whose attention couldn't seem to be held.
Ed rolled his eyes. Another job to do, blah blah. It was all just boring chit-chat to him.
"Isaac McDougal has been confirmed to be in Central! Stay Alert!", The Colonel recapped.
"Brother, you really should pay attention during briefings!", Al warned as Ed walked out of the room.
"Yeah, Yeah, I'll get right on that!", Ed muttered sarcastically.
."That boy!", the Colonel laughed, "what are we to do with him?"
"I don't know, sir!" , Hawkeye smiled
Winter
I got home from school late but Mom still wasn't but I didn't expect her to be .
I roll up the sleeve of my shirt. I'd had a Transmutation circle tattooed on the underside of my wrist about three months ago. A circle with triangle pattern in the middle and a line across the triangle.
Mom never would've approved. She wanted me as far away as possible from anything that might possibly pull me into the military. But the military was in my blood, I was doomed from birth!
I decided since it was too dark to practice that I'd start walking towards Central Command. By the time I got there Mom would be ready to head home.
I walked down the stairs.
"Hey, girl!", a military officier yelled at me, "Get back inside!"
I didn't move. "What's going on?", I ask.
"Rogue Alchemist is trying to freeze Central Command over!", he shouted.
Central Command! "My mom's there!", I exclaim, running past him.
"Get back here, little girl!", he hollered. I didn't stop. Outside the door of our apartment building was a huge glacier. And fighting on top was a young boy a few years older than me, someone in a suit of armor, and a scruggly looking older man.
I'd heard about the boy. His name was Edward Elric. The youngest State Alchemist ever. Mom had told me about him.
I watched in horror as the suit of armor had his head knocked off. But then I quickly realized, there wouldn't be anyone there.
The older guy was saying something to Edward. I stepped in closer to hear.
"You committed the ultimate taboo! You attempted Human Transmutation! Alchemy's one and only unforgiveable sin!", The guy laughed.
Edward hung his head and clutched his hand into a fist, "There are some lines you really shouldn't cross!".
He charged. The glaciers were getting closer to Central Command! I had to do something! Then I saw it across the street. A Transmutation Circle! I knew if I took out one of the circles the Alchemy would fail! I took off toward the circle.
I reached the alley in no time.
"Looking for something?", an overly friendly voice said from behind me when I got there.
I whip around. An accomplice! Of course with my luck, he'd have an accomplice!
"What's your name?", he says in his overfriendly way.
He was forcing me to back into the alley. "My name is Winter!", I allow.
"Winter? Such a pretty name!", he smiles.
"Why do I get the feeling you're with Ice Dude?", I ask. He had me almost backed against a wall.
He chuckles,"I suppose I am! Too bad you had to go getting in the way!"
Now or never Winter!
I touch the ground and am immediately surrounded by a wall of flames.
"What the...", his mouth falls open. I take advantage of his distraction and use my fire wall to destroy the circle.
The ground shakes at precisely that moment. The accomplice flees.
A few minutes later
"Colonel, looks likes flames took out this circle too!", a m.p. reported.
"How?", a deep, rough voice demands.
I flatten myself out against the wall of the alcove in the alley that I'm hiding in. If the Colonel catches me, my mom would hear about it, which would just be a mess!
"Brother, there was a girl who ran this way!", a voice pipes up.
"You sure,Al?", Ed asked.
"Yes and there she is!",Al points.
I flatten myself out as much as I can but it's no use, next thing I know I'm being dragged out by two military officers. I'm dragged directly in front of Colonel Mustang.
"Well, Colonel, who is it?", a voice said on the radio.
I knew that voice like the back of my hand!
"Mom?", I gasp.
"Winter?", She exclaims,"Winter, what the hell did you do?"
"I don't know, Mom.", I say sheepishly, "But I think it was kinda cool!"
"Lieutenant! Who is this?", the Colonel demands.
"My daughter, sir!", Mom sighs.
"We will be talking when I get back!", the Colonel declares.
"Yes, sir!", Mom sighs.
