(A/N)- So this is my first fanfiction and it's an idea I've had for a while. I hope it isn't too bad *sweatdrop*

My name is Allison Marie Elric. I am the unheard of younger sister of Edward and Alphonse Elric. You probably already know their story, so this is mine.

It was raining outside. I was unaware of what Edward and Alphonse were doing at the time, and I actually didn't really care. I was too busy drowning in my own thoughts, my thoughts about Mom. I was lying in Winry's room, staring at the ceiling. Granny Pinako thought I was asleep, which of course I wasn't. I hadn't been able to sleep since Mom died.

I was nine, mature for my age. I didn't give a damn about Alchemy like Edward and Al. Normal little sisters would butt in to their older brothers' work and try to join them, but I didn't want to learn Alchemy. Edward and Al had their hobbies and I had mine.

I didn't hear Edward's scream. My thoughts were the only thing I was concentrated on, I pushed the outside world away when I was absorbed, 'living inside of my mind' as Granny Pinako called it. I didn't hear the door bang open, I didn't hear Pinako's or Winry's frightened voices. I didn't even twitch. I was too busy thinking, my senses flicked off like a light. But what got me to shoot straight up off the floor was the sound of a foreign voice. It was unusual for there to be an unfamiliar voice here in Resembool, since everybody knew each other here. I was on my feet quickly and I silently crept out of Winry's room.

I followed Pinako's voice, which sounded highly irritated for some reason. I hoped Edward and Pinako hadn't gotten into another "height fight" again. I followed her voice to a door and I pressed my ear against it. That foreign voice was arguing with Pinako, and he sounded full of authority. Who in the world could it be? I opened the door a hair and peeked inside. The first think I saw was a dark haired man in a sopping wet blue uniform. I guess he had come in from the rain. I stared at him for a moment while he argued with Pinako, and then the blue uniform registered in my mind. He was from the military! What would someone from the military be doing here in Resembool? I looked past him to see part of Pinako's face, which was twisted with annoyance. I was too busy studying the scene to hear what the man was saying that upset Pinako, though. I looked past her to see the lower half of a boy's body lying on a bed. There was one full leg and then just a wrapped up stump remaining of the other. I gaped for a moment. I tried to identify the legs, but I couldn't. I'd have to see their face, but wasn't about to barge in at a time like this. Then, the military man turned to leave and I saw a shimmer come from his pocket. There was a chain hanging out and then clasping onto his belt. A pocket watch? But it couldn't be…A State Alchemist? I skittered backwards away from the door, as the man was fast approaching. I didn't want him to catch me eavesdropping. But it was too late. He had already opened the door. He glanced down at me and I froze under his onyx gaze.

"H-Hello," I stammered.

"Hello. And who might you be?" He was looking at me suspiciously now and I gulped.

"I-I'm Allison Elric." I gave him a wide-eyed, innocent look, but it had no affect on him.

"Ah, I see, Edward and Alphonse Elric's littlest sibling. And you might be wondering who I am,

correct?" he said, giving me a questioning glance. I nodded.

"I'm Roy Mustang." He smirked and started towards the door.

"Are you a State Alchemist?" I blurted, and slapped a hand over my mouth. He chuckled and gave a slight nod. Then he opened the front door, stepped out into the rain, and shut it with a soft click.

I stood there for a moment, registering everything that had just occurred. After that, I ran back to Winry's room and shut the door. I fell back against it and closed my eyes, hoping my thought would take me away. But I only had two thoughts to drown in- Why was he here and why do I think he's really handsome?

I woke up the next morning, confused. I took in my surrounding and finally recognized where I was. I was in Winry's bedroom, on the floor. The memories from last night filled my head and I put a hand over my mouth in thought.

I should go and ask Granny Pinako what happened, I thought. I pushed myself to my feet and noted that Winry was not in her bed. Either she got up early, or she hadn't come to bed at all. I opened Winry's door and found myself walking straight to where I had seen Pinako last night. Once I reached the room, I grabbed the doorknob and just as I opened the door, I heard a voice say, "I want automail."

I thought nothing of it, since this was an automail shop, but once I saw who the voice belonged to…

"Edward?" I cried. I charged from the doorway to his bedside and collapsed on the floor next to him.

"What did you do?" I went to grab his hand but there was nothing there. His arm, it was gone, along with his leg. He was the boy I saw last night, lying in this bed. Tears stung my eyes and I looked away.

"We…We just wanted Mom back," he choked out. He looked past me to glare at the silent Pinako. "And I need automail, so I can fix all of this. So I can become a State Alchemist, like that Mustang guy suggested."

"Oh, Ed, I was hoping you were unconscious when he said suggested such an irrational thing," Pinako spat.

"What do you mean, Edward? What do you mean "so I can fix all of this"? What did you do?" I slammed my fist on his bed in frustration and he looked at me blankly.

"We tried to bring Mom back, using Alchemy," he whispered. His face betrayed no emotion. "And Al…he…" Edward looked away.

"What happened to Al?" I asked through clenched teeth, getting to my feet. I didn't care if he was injured, I would beat it out of him.

"Allison, calm down," said a timid voice. I spun in circles. It was Al's voice.

"Alphonse? Where are you?" My eyes landed on a heaping pile of metal that I recognized as Dad's vintage armor. But wasn't that back at the house? What was it doing…That's when I noticed what used to be empty eyes holes were now occupied by a dark red glow. My stomach dropped.

"Al? Al is that you…in there?" I whispered, approaching the armor. I crouched in front of it and it moved. Al was in there!

"Yes," Al said. The armor creaked as he looked down.

"Well, what are you doing in there?" I took the helmet in my hands and yanked it off. When I saw there was no one inside, I jumped up, screamed, and then fell back to the floor on my bottom. "He's not there!" I gasped. I looked back at Edward who was staring up at the ceiling. "Is this some sort of Alchemy trick? Where is Alphonse?" I demanded. I felt tears pricking in the corner of my eyes again. I glared angrily at my eldest brother.

"I'm here, Allison. My soul is in this armor." I whipped my head around to stare at the empty armor. A red circle on the back of the metal suit caught my eye. I crawled forward to get a closer look. It looked like some form of a transmutation circle. I went to touch it, but Al pushed me away.

"Don't touch it!" Al cried. "If you do, I might be gone for real this time."

"So that thing…What is it? I know it's some type of transmutation circle, but-"

"It's a blood seal. I bound Al's soul to that armor so I would…So he wouldn't…" Ed trail off, choking on the tears that I could hear in his voice.

"So…Al died and you brought his soul back with Alchemy?" I said, standing slowly. I placed Al's helmet back onto his body and he nodded. I clenched my hands. "I see. So this is all caused by Alchemy then?" I stated firmly. I spun on my heels and bound over to Edward's bed. I got right into his emotionless face. "So you tried to bring Mom back and you ended up killing Al and losing your body parts, huh? All because of Alchemy! And what if you didn't have enough strength to make that transmutation circle in that armor? You would've bled to death because Al wouldn't be here and he wouldn't have been able to carry you here! Then I would have been all alone, Edward! Didn't you ever think of that?" I was sobbing now, on my knees by his bed. My whole body was shaking as the hot tears rolled down my cheeks. "All because of stupid Alchemy," I choked. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up to see Pinako, holding her pipe with the hand that wasn't on my shoulder.

"Come, Allison. We should let the boys rest." I gave a sharp nod and stood. Without another glance, I was out the door. I continued walking until I was out of the Rockbell's household and on my way to my own home, which was free for me to cry in with nobody bothering me since it was empty.

Empty…
