Chapter 1. The Past and Present

Past

13 years ago

A young girl, about the age of 8 years old, came running down the hill of Seig City, holding a basket full of blueberries and strawberries calling out her mother.

"Momma! I got the blueberries and strawberries you asked for! Momma!"

As she got to the old house, she saw some red goo oozing under the front door. She paled as she found out what it was.

"MOMMA!", she shouted, barging through the door to see her mother on the floor, with her eyes wide open and filled with horror. She saw her chest had 5 large scratches on her, blood coming out slowly. The girl paled and dropped the fruits and ran to her mother, tears forming in her eyes.

"Momma! Momma! Please don't be dead! Please!" she kept shouting at her mother to wake up. In the shadows she heard a low chuckle.

"Your mother's gone kid, she ain't getting up." said a green headed man. She saw that he had a blood curdling smirk on his face, asking for more blood and deaths.

"W-who are you? What did you do to my mother!" the little girl shouted. The man threw his head up and laughed harshly at her then told her,

"Oh nothing, that woman wouldn't give me what I wanted, so I just killed her for making me wait, but I have my precious gift from the Heavens now," a woman with dark green hair came in and was holding an unconsious little girl, who looked like she was 6 years old, bridal style. The little girl noticed the Ourorous tattoo under her neck.

"What do you want with my sister!" the young girl screamed at them, tears coming down her face.

"We need her for one reason, so we can be human. This girl is the only one who can create The Philosopher's Stone. We need the stone to become human. That is why we need your sister." The older woman said

"We promise we'll give her back, unless Gluttony gets to her first" the short man said with a sinister smile. The women glared at him and said,

"We won't give back the girl, we'll need her for more. It was nice meeting you, Miss Haden."

"Don't forget to say bye bye to you lil' sis'!" The green headed man said." Then they vanished. Tears came down Haden's face. Haden held her necklace.

' I promise you Lee, I'll find you, and kill those Homunculus. I promised mother to take care of you if she died, If you know about the Stone, find the one to protect you, and I'll find the Champion' Haden thought, tightning her necklace more.

' I promise.'

Present

" HEY COLONEL BASTARD! YOU HERE!" Ed shouted while banging on a door saying 'Colonel Roy Mustang'.

" Uh, nii-san, I think you should stop now," said Al, holding his hand up in defense. Just then, the door opened to see a very pissed off Colonel.

"So Fullmetal, back from you mission already?" he said in a calm voice.

" Yeah, that darn stone was, again a fraud!" Ed Shouted at Roy. Roy just looked at Ed, which caused Ed to get very angry. Roy gestured Edward and Al to come and sit down in the office.

" So, again a fraud. How many times have you ever gotten a fake stone again?" Roy asked them. Ed started counting his fingers and Al said, "27 times sir." Ed fell to the ground, twitching.

" No way Al! We couldn't have spotted that many fake ones!" Ed started screaming at Al untill they heard a knock.

" Excuse me, is this Colonel Roy Mustang's Office?" It sounded feminine and very young. Roy Coughed and said in a manly tone, "Yes, this is his office, please come in." He replied. Ed Just looked at him weirdly. 'Is Roy dating another girl? I bet he's dated more girls than we've found frauds' Ed thought. The door opened to find a young girl, probably 15 years old, has long black hair and bright blue eyes. She looked around and said,

" Uuh... Am I early or something? I'm here for my watch or something?" Ed gasped as he found out that she is a State Alchemist, or going to be.

" Right, your name is Leeana Candiss. Correct?" Roy asked. She nodded and and went on,

" Here is you file. Welcome to The Military. You're now officialy a Dog of the Military." He handed her an envelope and she opened it.

" My name is... the Phantom Alchemist? What a nice name" Lee said sarcasticly.

Roy stood up and headed for the door and stopped,

" Oh and Fullmetal, we believe we've found the hideout of the Homunculus. That'll be your mission for now, And Phantom will be going with you. Good day." After that, he left. Lee blinked a few times and turned to Ed,

"Phantom?" She asked Ed. Ed just rolled his eyes and said,

" He gives us nicknames... like I'm called Fullmetal." Ed walked out with Al and Lee following him.

"Ed, where are we going?"Lee asked. Ed just glared at her, which made Lee jump.

"We're going to Seig City," Replied Ed. Lee stopped and looked down. Al had seen that and asked her,

" What's the matter Lee?" Al looked a little worried and so did Ed.

Lee hesitated and then said,

"That's where I was born, and the Homunculus killed my mother." She said in soft voice, tears started to form.

" Hey, our mom died too you know? So i guess we're just like you, orphans" Ed said with a little happiness in him. Lee looked up and smiled.

Haden

Haden is 19 years old. She had short dirty brown hair with a bit of blonde highlights. Haden sped down the streets on her motorcycle, heading towards HQ. When she got there, she saw Ed and Al walking out of the Colonel's Office. With them, she saw another girl, about the age of 17 by them staring blankly at the ground.

"Hey Haden! Nice to see you again! Back from Lior finally!" Ed shouted and ran to Haden, grinning from ear to ear. Haden just smiled and nodded. She looked up to see Al and the girl run up.

"It's good to see you again Haden! I can't believe that we haven't seen you for a month!" Al said and hugged Haden. Haden looked up to see the girl behind Al.

"Hi, my name's Haden Mustang, I'm Roy's niece. What's you name?" Haden asked the girl. She just looked down and murmered something.

"Meet Leeana, just call her Lee for short. She really won't talk much." Ed said, he patted Lee's back, who really wasn't paying attention,fell foward and fell flat on her face. Ed, of course started to apologize and help her up. Lee just put her index inger on Ed's lips for him to stop. Lee just nodded and skipped away.
"Oookay, that, was akward," Haden said, scratching the back of her head.

"So, did anything new come up while i was gone?" Haden asked the two. Ed and Al paled and started shouting about what happened to their miserable life with Roy while she was gone (literally). Haden started to get pissed off so she decided to stop the two rom chattering until her ears bled.

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Haden screamed at the two. Their mouths automaticly became zipped. Haden's left eye was twitching in an enormously fast place.

"Now, I know Uncle Roy has been killing you two... I mean/t BESIDES that. Anything else?" Haden asked the two. They thought or a moment then Al said,

" Well, we've found 27 fake stone, and we have a new friend! Lee!" Haden sweatdropped when she heard that they had ound that many fake stones.

" Well, we've actually found a way to create the Philosopher's Stone," said Ed. Then Lee came back, running for her dear life screaming,

"Someone help me! I'm being chased by a perv!" she ran past Ed, Al and Haden screaming those words. That so called 'perv' was actually Scar chasing Lee. He saw Ed and stopped.

"Edward Elric, The Fullmetal Alchemist and Haden Mustang, The Shadow Alchemist. You are all State Achemists. All of you must die at the hands of God!" Scar lunged for them with his glowing right arm.

"NO!" Lee shouted and clapped her hand and a bow and arrow came out. She aimed and shot the arrow at Scar's shoulder. Scar roared in pain and fell down, clutching his bleeding shoulder. Lee dropped the bow and ran towards Scar and knelt down besides him.

"I'm so sorry! I meant to shoot it by your face as a warning! I"m not really good at aiming, please don't die! " Scar's vision blurred and he fell unconcious. " Please help him Ed!" Lee cried. Ed shook his head.

" Why! He almost killed me!" Ed shouted at Lee. Haden poked him on the shoulders. When Ed turned around, Haden was tapping her foot.

" You mean 'us'?" Haden corrected. Ed just turned back to Lee,

" Okay, us! Besides, he kills State Alchemists! He'll probably kill you when he wake up!" he shouted. Lee just glared at him and said,

"He will not kill an Ishbalan though," Ed gasped, never knowing that Lee was Ishbalan. To Ed, she didn't look Ishbalan. 'Her skin wasn't brown, it was a bit light brown, and her eyes were a bit orange with a tint of red... Oookay, so maybe she did look a bit Ishbalan, but she also looked like she wasn't either' Ed thought to himself. Lee tried to pick up Scar, but she was too weak. Ed sighed in defeat, so he helped Lee bring Scar back to Hq.

" I don't think we should bring him back there, they'll probably kill him, let's bring him to my home." Lee said. They all agreed so they brought him to her home. They all had their mouths wide open when they saw her house.

"Wow! This is your house!" Al Looked at the three story high house in front of them. Lee blushed and murmered something.

"This was your grandfather's wasn't it?" Haden asked Lee. Lee looked up and nodded.

"How did you know?" Lee asked Haden, surprised. Haden just shrugged and said,

" I dunno, I guessed," Lee unlocked the door and opened it and walked in.. Everyone's mouthed fell to the ground, just looking inside. There was 2 loveseats and 2 three seat sofas across from both of the loveseats, creating a square.A huge coffee table was in the middle of the sofas and loveseats. The walls were painted a beautiful beige and light pink color. On the walls were portraits of people from before. They noticed on of them was Lee with her grandfather. The windows were draped with a beige colored blinds. They saw a little cat house, and a beautiful siamese came out. It stared at them with bright blue eyes. As it skittered away, the little bell on it's collar jingled with it.

" That's Meme, she's still a kitten. She doesn't like company very much. There are more cats that roam this house." Lee said. They put Scar on one of the sofas and sat down. Lee went into the kitchen for a few minutes and came out with a bowl of hot water and a clean wash rag. She sat next to Scar.

" Ed, could you please take that arrow out of his shoulder? I need to bandage it for him." Lee asked Ed softly. Al got up and heped Ed. When they pulled it out, Scar grunted but was still asleep. Lee thanked them and asked Haden,

"Please help me take off his shirt to bandage him " Haden just nodded and took off his shirt with ease. Lee went to go get a First Aid Kit for Scar. Haden shuddered when she saw the hole in Scar's right shoulder. It was bleeding a bit but most of the blood dried. Lee came in and looked at the wound and gasped.

"Oh dear, it's worse than I expected..." Lee ran towards to couch and slippedon the rug.

"Eeep!" Lee threw the First Aid Kit at Al, who of course caught it. Lee hit the ground on her face again, but with a thud, which caused Scar to wake up. Scar sat up, but groaned and held his shoulder. He looked around to find Ed, Al, and Haden. But did not see Lee.

"Where am I?" Scar demanded. Lee sat up rubbing her behind cursing herself off. Scar heard this and looked around to see a blacked haired girl on the ground. Haden pushed Scar bakc down and said,

"You're injured, you need rest. We'll answer your questions later." Lee started to curse herself again, to find her nose broken, and bleeding.

" Damnit... not my nosthe again..." She ran into the kitchen. Scar just looked around and then her heard,

" try to sit up, you need to have that wound of yours heal, or it'll get infected." Haden told him. Scar glared at her and said,

"I do not need your assistance. You are a State Alchemist,"

" Please do let her see, it really doesn't look too good." Lee said, wiping her hands while coming in. Scar sighed and sat up. Ed looked over Al since he was too short. He saw the wound and blanked out. Since only Al noticed, He tried to wake up Ed. Haden was finished applying the medicine on Scar's wound. She then started to bandage it. Lee saw Ed and she ran over to help him too. Haden had finished bandaging Scar and told him to lay down and rest. Lee and Al finally got Ed to wake up again. Haden whispered something to Lee, who started laughing. Scar was just plain confused. Haden then said,

" It sure was Hell today..."

... I suk at writing... oh well please tell me how good it was!
