Disclaimer: I don't own FMA but if I did then Ed would go around in black: tight pants, a tank top, and a choker with his ear pierced.

Chapter 1: Shitty Day

.:Prologue:.

Okay, first off: My name is Edward Elric, I have long blond hair, golden yellow eyes, and somewhat pale skin. I am now 17 years old, I'm uhhh 5' 2" tall. I am a special member of an organization keeping control over unnatural beings. I and my brother are somewhat orphans now; our mother died when we were very young, Al was too young to remember her. Just before that; our father left us: I blame him for mom dying! Now we live in a military facility, with other members of our organization. Some of them we live with are, Lt. Riza Hawkeye, Lt. Jean Havoc, and Lt. Maes Hughes. There's also Granny who's a doctor, and a mechanic girl who watches out for me and Al, her name is Winry; she has been our friend since sometime after mom died.

This morning I woke up sweating; images of a nightmare flashing through my mind. I wiped some sweat from my forehead and sat up in bed, looking at the clock. "Ughhh, 5:37," I moaned' the crimson letters flashing. 'I've been having this dream over and over again, these past few weeks. Another image flashed through my mind. In it there were two men, one with short black hair, the other one with long green. 'I can't stand it anymore!' I was now sitting on the edge of my bed, with my head hung, gripping my sweaty bangs in my fingers and gritting my teeth. "I need something to get this dream off my mind." I murmured to myself. I raised my head looking around the room. The room was dark; though there was enough red light coming from my bedside clock to see the silhouette of the bathroom door. Looking at the bathroom door, I ran my fingers through my damp hair. "I need a shower." I deadpanned. I shuffled into the bathroom and turned on the shower. Not bothering to take my shorts off, I stepped in the shower. The cool water felt so good against my heated skin. I leaned forward resting my head against the tiled wall. The shower rinsed away the now cold, sweat off of my skin and out of my hair. When I got out I took my shorts off and wrapped a towel around my slender hips. When I walked back in my bedroom the clock was flashing 6:24. I had been in there for almost an hour. I looked in my closet, most of my attire was made up of black sleeveless shirts, black long-sleeved shirts and a long red coat with a snake on the back that my mom had left me. She said it was my dads, but since my mom gave it to me, I kept it. She wouldn't tell me what the symbol on the back meant though. I also have the same symbol on my neck; a snake rapped around a cross, above that was a crown with wings on both sides.

"Hey, Winry! Good morning to ya!" I waived a gloved hand to her, smiling.

"Oh! Hey Edward!" she said gleefully looking up from her work, twirling a wrench in her fingers. Winry has always been sort of bipolar. She can go from slap happy (literally) to literally emo to I'M GONNA KILL YOU! in a record time of ten seconds, so everyone tends to try to stay on her good side.

" Hey Winry, uh… (looking at deadly wrench, still spinning in her hand, then back to her shining face) where's Al?"

"I don't know, haven't seen him all morning. He might be in the breakfast room, now." Her face went kind of dull and blank, then the shine kicked in again. Toldya "Hey remember what today is?!", she squealed.

"What?" I mumbled, half expecting something stupid.

"Today is your first mission!" she squealed.

'Oh, yeah! That's right! It is!' "Okay. I'll head out after breakfast, thanks." I waved my hand and turned to leave.

"Hey Ed."

"Yes?"

"Is everything okay? You look kind of shaken up."

"Na, I'm fine!" I said with a half fake smile. She believed it.

"Okay! See you later." she said waving her hand at me. "I hope you have a nice day!" I waved bye to her, and went to meet Al for breakfast. When I got to the breakfast room, he wasn't there so I sat down and ate in silence.

After breakfast, I geared up for my mission, and went to talk to Lt. Hughes about my mission briefing.

"Okay, here's the deal. There's a village down in Ganshak Valley that's been attacked, a werewolf village. Now, I know this is your first mission and you haven't been near werewolves yet, but you shouldn't have to worry. I'm giving you an easy task, you won't even have to get too close to the village…"

"But I…"

"No, Edward." Lt. Hughes, warned. 'I don't want to do a child's mission, I'm not afraid,' I growled in my thoughts. "Anyway, all you have to do is take notes on the rebuilding status of the village. You will be there for two weeks, so bring enough gear with you to last that long. After that we'll come back for you. If you have any problems, sent us a message on this communicator." He handed me a little black box with an antenna, and I attached it to my back belt loop.

"Alright." I growled. "Fine then." I turned to leave. 'Woaa, what a minute. Is he ok? He hasn't shown me any..'

"Oh and ed…"

"Yes?" I said turning around, immediately regretting doing so.

"Whada'ya think about this new picture I took of Elisia, Isn't it just soooo…., huh? Edward? Whered'ya go?" I took cover around the next corner I came around. Sinking to the wall. "Phhweeww.. I thought he had me that time. Why can't people here ever be normal?"

"Brother?"

I looked up from where I had taken cover. "Huh.., Al? What are you doing here?"

"I came to see you off brother," Al smiled brightly.

"Oh, thanks." I smiled, getting up.

"Why were you sitting on the floor?"

"Lt. Hughes had baby pictures."

"Oh, I understand." Al giggled.

Later in the day, Al saw me off. I got in a chopper and was lifted away with Al below waving. The chopper dropped me off about a half a mile from the valley. They had set me down in the middle of the woods, and gave me a map and told me to meet them back at this spot in fourteen days.

I walked to the edge of the rock walled valley and began to climb down. I found a good sturdy place to sit among the rocks of the cliff. I couldn't go into the village at the risk of being seen. The villagers don't like outsiders, just like in a real wolf pack, if they saw me, then I could be KILLED!

Zooming in with my binoculars, I could see people moving around down below. Some of them stood by huts talking, children playing and others working on rebuilding huts. This was the first time I had been this close to real werewolves. They're not really allowed in regular villages of people, or as part of our organization. So that's the reason I hadn't ever seen a real one. I had learned about them and their weaknesses and fought in simulations, but that wasn't exactly the same thing. It was also the same with vampires, never been near 'em.

GOD, I sat there for hours taking notes. My eyes were starting to hurt looking through those binoculars. 'I guess it wouldn't hurt to go down a little further and get a closer view.' I started climbing down a little ways more, until I was about twenty feet above the ground, peeking from behind a large tree that was cast over a hut, I could hear their voices. 'This is a little better.' 'AWW, SHIT!' gasp Just then, a rock shifted from under my feet, and before I knew it, I was falling. CRUNCH!, I hit the ground, and crushed my communicator, and I was pretty sure I had at least sprung my left ankle, because it hurt to move it. "Ohhhhhooowww." I groaned kinda' loud. 'Aww, CRAP' I thought, clasping my hand over my mouth, but it was too late! 'I can't get up!' I could hear voices from some of the villagers. 'Awww, Damn it! They're coming this way!'
