Chapter 1: Mistake
"Guys are you sure about this?" Emily asked quietly "I mean what if something goes wrong?"
"Nothing's gonna go wrong, right Al?" Edward rolled his eyes at the small blue eyed girl.
"Yeah, you're just nervous Em'"
"I guess…"
"Ready?" the oldest boy asked.
"Steady" replied Al.
"Go…" breathed the girl…
All three clapped their hands on the transmutation circle in front of them. A golden-white light shown on their faces that filled of glee and awe at the sight. Suddenly though, their faces were masks of horror and fear as the once pure light turned dark and gruesome.
"ED!"
Edward and Emily turned to Al both standing. Emily ran to him and tried to pull him out of the black Vortex that was quickly swallowing him up. At the same time though some thing resembling a small child grabbed her right arm and, ripping it off, as her right arm was torn off by the same vortex that was causing Al to vanish quickly in front of her. As Alphonse disappeared into the darkness, and a cry of pain was heard behind her from Edward everything went back…
As she awoke she saw Ed kneeling over a large suit of armor. As she watched, the helmet's eyes flashed for a moment then shown a steady reddish-pink color. Emily sat up and tried to crawl to Ed; belatedly realizing her other arm was gone as well and collapsed with a gasp of pain. She passed out for the second time that night; her last vision was that of the inhuman creature the failed transmutation had created.
