You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
but I never thought I'd live to see it break

It's getting dark, and it's all too quiet
and I can't trust anything now
and it's coming over you like it's all a big mistake

Oh, I'm holding my breath
won't lose you again
something's made your eyes go cold

Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
something's gone terribly wrong
you're all I wanted

Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't turn back now, I'm haunted


Solis re-wrapped her hand while she knelt next to the still-breathing man. She wiped the blood on her cheek and smirked before standing up and observing her victim. Her cold turquoise eyes searched all over the man before spotting a familiar pin. She frowned when she heard voices close by. She roughly ripped the pin from the man's blue uniform and ran to turned a sharp corner of the alley only to run into something.

CLUNK!

She rubbed her head. "Ow…" Solis murmured. She felt as if she ran into something metal- Solis gasped when she stared at the body of armor in front of her. "I'm sorry, Miss!" The (little boy?) voice frantically apologized. She laughed and stood up. She brushed her pants and adjusted her crop top then smiled.

Before the person could speak, she knocked them down and ran even faster. Finally, after running a good few minutes, she lightly jogged and stopped when she reached the train station. "That was too close, Solis." I said to myself quietly before purchasing a ticket for a train ride to Central.

She sat in an empty booth originally for 4 people. She stared out the window and smiled at what she newly discovered. Plus, with the money she stole from the man she killed, it would be enough to buy food for the whole week. Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a familiar noise.

CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK!

She looked up at the armor boy. She raised an eyebrow at a golden-haired boy who was an inch taller than her. The golden hair boy had a red coat with black leather pants, a black shirt, and boots. He was also wearing gloves, which was odd since it was the middle of spring.

"Hey! It's you from earlier!" Armor boy spoke up. I raised BOTH my eyebrows as my lips frowned. My white bangs covered my eyes, so I blew it and gave the two boys a quizzical look. "Yeah, um why are you here?" I asked. I saw a chain on the golden haired boy's pants. A State Alchemist? Shit! The military must have found out! A single sweat rolled down my head.

"We would want to know if we could sit here, since the other booths are full." The armor boy spoke up. I glanced around the train cart, and he was true. Many families and friends accompanied each other in the booths, making my heart ache a little. I nodded my head slowly before staring out the window.

I closed my eyes. "So, you're a state alchemist, huh? How old are you?" I asked monotone, my eyes still closed. "Oh. I'm 15, and yes, I am a state alchemist." The blonde said as I opened my eyes to see him sit straight with his chest slightly puffed out. I rolled my eyes but smiled. I put my shoulder length white hair to the side. "That's cool. I'm 15 too and I can't even do basic alchemy!" I joked. I held my hand out. "I'm Solis. You are?" I asked. "Edward Elric and here is my brother, Alphonse." Ed pointed towards armor boy-Al.

Before giving my hand gesture back, Ed stared at my hand with slight widen eyes. I looked at my hand and smiled sheepishly. "Oops. Hehe, I got a nosebleed and forgot that I had it on my hands." I said as I wiped it. My hair also had little blood on it. He shook my hand AFTER the blood was off.

I fell asleep after that little incident. My dream was another nightmare.

The image of Him walking towards me as he laughed made me shudder. In the other hand of his was a butcher knife. I cried silently as he towered over my cradling position. He grabbed my waist-length hair and chopped it. My white hair was stained with blood on the tips. I cried as he then threw punches and kicks as I cried. He smiled at me and started to kiss me as I cried more. He caressed my lightly tanned face before making his way towards my neck. I made no effort as he started to kiss and touch me everywhere. He took each clothing I had on as he slowly made his lips down my neck. I was crying silent sobs as he finally had all my clothes off, then inserting his-

But before I could finish my dream, someone shook me, to wake me up. I groaned and opened my eyes. There was Ed looking at me with concern and curiosity while Al stood behind him. I looked at them, my turquois eyes filled with fear and relief. I had cold sweat and was crying. They didn't question me as they told me that we stopped at Central (since they asked me a while ago where I was heading.)

I stretched as I rubbed my light tanned arms while exiting the train cart. I cracked my back and neck before smiling, forgetting my recent nightmare. "To Central HQ!" I said to myself with glee, my voice cracking a bit. I was walking when I heard someone call me.

"Hm? What is it, Al?" I looked up at the tall armor. "Oh! I heard you were going to HQ and me and brother thought if we could come with you since we are also heading that way." He asked me. I smiled. "Sure!" I said. Maybe I could trust them even though they are in the military.

All 3 of us walked in silence until we reached HQ. I smirked and walked in.

Apparently, the Elrics are visiting Roy Mustang, like me. I smiled and walked with them to his office. I opened the door with a loud bang.

There was Roy, who looked up from all the paperwork, his teammates around the office looked at us three with curiosity. He smiled at me and the brothers. "Welcome back Fullmetal. I see you have finally gotten yourself a girlfriend, let alone someone smaller that YOU." Roy said with a smirk. Ed seemed like he was about to explode while he face was either red from anger or embarrassment while the faintest blush went across my face.

"SHE IS NOT MY GIRLFRIEND! AND WHO ARE YOU CALLING SHORT!?" Ed said with rage as he clenched his fists. I laughed and walked to Roy's desk and slammed my hands on his paperwork. He gave me a quizzical look but hid it with a smug smirk. "Oh, you must be the newcomer, Solis, was it?" He said with amusement in his eyes. I smiled and placed my hands on my hips.

"The one and only!" I said with a triumphant smirk. "How do you know her?" Al said while pinning his raging brother, Ed, on the floor, who replaced his anger with curiosity. "None of your business." I said with a huff. Ed glared at me as I gave him a smug smile. Roy threw the brothers out the door while his teammates also scurried out the office. After the door closed, Roy replaced his cocky face with a serious face. A few minutes past until he spoke up. "Why are you here?" Roy finally asked me. I shrugged and sat on his couch. "We already placed your family-" I cut him off. "They are my foster family, Roy. The only reason I want them protected is so I wouldn't go through the stupid foster system." I said harshly. He sighed and continued. "Then why are you here?" He asked. I gave a defeated sigh. "Have you found Him yet?" I asked in an icy tone. I wanted that bastard dead. "No, it's almost been 4 years. Do you really want to find him-" I cut him off once again. "Of course I want to find the bastard! He killed my family! Don't you think He should get what he deserved?!" I said while tears were threatening to spill. He sighed and gave me a soft look. He really reminded me of my dad. This thought made me cry, as I sat down on the floor and placed my face in my bandaged hands.

Roy looked at me then came to me to comfort me. I just gave him a weak smile. "I'm fine, I'm fine." I repeated more to myself than Roy. He just smiled. "You know, you could become a state alchemist to find Him." He said. This made my blood boil. Literally. "For the last time, my alchemy power is not something I'm proud of Roy. You should know since I attacked you when you first found me." I smirked when I remembered such nice memories. "I know, but if you want to find Him, you must risk things. I knew your father well; he did a good job with his research, you should be fine. Now send the Elric brothers in." He said before shooing me out. I just pouted but then smiled and left. I walked out the door and sighed. "Roy wants you, Ed and Al." I said before walking away. I walked around HQ while talking to Riza Hawkeye.

"Hey, Solis!" Havoc called out. I smiled at the handsome blonde. "What's up?" I asked. He grinned at me while his cigarette was in his mouth. I frowned slightly. "It's too bad you are only 15. I would so date you." He said while making me blush. Riza just sighed and shook her head at the older boy's intentions. "You know I only think of you as an older brother, right?" I said before he laughed. "I'm messing with ya! But if Ed even tries to flirt with you, just call me!" I blushed even harder. Imagining the golden haired boy making a move on me made my stomach feel funny.

"Hey! I'm not going to try anything!" A voice said behind Havoc. There was a pissed off Ed with his brother trailing after him. Havoc looked pale as he sheepishly smiled. "Hehe, just kidding Chief!" Havoc said while Ed just huffed. I just stood there before an evil plan formed in my head. Judging by Havoc's smirk, I must have been smiling like a mad man. "So you mean to say you don't think I'm pretty, Ed?" I said with a fake pout. He blushed and started to stutter. "Ah! I didn't mean it like that! You are very pretty! I'm just not into you!" He said with his hands up defensively. My frown deepened. "So you aren't into me? I thought we had a spark." I said with crocodile tears. Seeing his face made me want to laugh. Finally breaking in, I laughed. Havoc laughed with me. Riza gave in as well and laughed with us."I'm just joking with you Ed!" I said through laughs. He just smirked and laughed with us. After, Havoc thought he would offer us to dinner with the rest of the team. I said sure while Hawkeye agreed too. Ed and Al said they could, and soon we were off to Havoc's apartment.

Little did I know, He was watching me from a far distance. Plotting something.
