Okay so this is my first story, so please go easy on me. I've been wanting to do a story for three months and now I am finally starting to write!

I sped my car around yet another corner. I had to get there in time. Someone reported to the military that an alchemist by the name of Herald Berkley, was about to attempt human transmutation at 12:00.

11:48

I can still make it, I thought as I slammed the brakes and stopped in front of Berkeley's home. After blowing the door up, I ran all over the house to find the alchemist. Then I saw him.

The basement had papers strewn about everywhere. The intricate design of the transmutation circle was painted on the floor. Herald, a man around the age of fifty sat next to the circle muttering. I glanced to the clock on the wall.

11:57

I walked to the man and put my hand on Berkeley's shoulder. There was a pause. I'm willing him out of doing this

11:58

"Why are you doing this?"

"For Caroline, my wife. Tomorrow will be year anniversary of her death. It'll be like she never really died," said the hysteric man.

"You can't possibly think you can accomplish this. No one has ever," I tried to convince Herald

"I can do it."

"No you can't. It goes against equivalent exchange. Nothing equals a human soul." Roy argued. There was another pause.

11:59

How about a human soul?"

"You can't possibly kill yourself for the small chance that you wife will come back! That is selfish," I pleaded with him.

"She will be fine without me. She is strong and has many friends that can support her. I will gladly give my life for her."

Twelve distinct dongs of the clock were heard while the man screamed and started to put his hands on the circle. I struggled to keep the man from it. Damn it why didn't I put my gloves on? I thought as we wrestled, The man would be burned, but still alive. Berkeley was too strong; he pushed me to the ground and ran to the Circle.

Gold light flashed around the room as Berkeley exclaimed, "Soon, My love you will be back to the flesh! Nothing will stop me!"

Suddenly the Gold light turned to a sickly purple. Lightning flashed around the room. Berkeley tried to move but he was trapped by the transmutation. I attempted to run for cover but I was glued to the spot. I was trapped in the transmutation as well!

An eye formed in the middle of the circle. It grew until the highest point was the size of me. Then from the pupil little arms reached to grab Berkeley. He screamed bloody murder as he tried to get out of their grasp. As the arms held on to him, he started to disintegrate to light. The arms then touched me. A weird and painful sensation came over my body. I heard a scream then knew no more.

DUNDUNDUN! how was it? what did you like? What did you hate? I sorry if any character was OOC, remember first time EVER writing. Oh and I kind of don't like OC's but I can't think of any way to write this story without some. There will be even more but most of the characters will be FMA ones that have slightly changed because of they are in an alternate universe. Anyways Please review!
