A/N: Hello again. Here I am with my recent fanfiction. This random story came in my head at 3 am in the morning because I wasn't able to sleep. (Drank too much coffee. Duhh -.-) So I just wrote it. And well, I don't want to brag but I think I did a pretty good job. Anyways here you go!

CHAPTER 1: The Beginning

"According to the rumors, there is someone conducting experiments near the south, a bit outside of Central. They say there are sounds coming from a warehouse there. I want you, Fullmetal, to go and investigate the place and tell me what you find. And if there isn't anything well, too bad. There's a car waiting outside."

"Alright." Edward said quietly.

"You're dismissed."

He's dismissing me? I don't need to be dismissed.

He opened the doors and walked down the stairs as Alphonse who was waiting for him, looked at him. Ed was sure if he could see Al's face expression, he would be giving him a quizzed look. "What is it this time?"

"The Colonel said there might be a person doing experiments near the south. We're going to go there and see if it's true."

"There might be something related to the stone too, brother." Al said as they walked to the car waiting for them outside.

"Maybe. But we'll just have to wait till we get there. And still, if there isn't anything about the stone there, it still will be pretty interesting."

They entered the back of the car and waited for the driver. As Edward played cards with his brother during the car ride, he had no idea that tomorrow he would face the most terrifying moments of his life because of something that was going to happen in a few hours.

"This house looks deserted, I'm not sure if we're going to find anything." Edward said as he faced the old two-story building. It was mostly made out of wood and there was a moldy smell in the air. They stepped inside as the floor creaked with noise.

This place is huge..

"Al, why don't you stay here and I'll go upstairs. It'll be easier that way. There must be lot of rooms here."

"Okay, brother." Al said as he turned the corner and disappeared.

Edward slowly walked up the stairs with caution, looking for any signs of life or something that wasn't covered in dust. He approached a closed door and pushed it.

Spider webs and dust. Nothing else.

Ed started coughing as he walked away. Another closed door. He pushed open that one too, only to find a chair facing the window this time.

What the hell?

He walked and took a closer look at the chair. It wasn't covered in dust and the window was clean. The window was facing the forest. It sure was a nice sight.

Anything else, it hadn't been touched.

He exited the room and walked deeper in the hall. He opened the last door on the right. And there it was.

There was a table and a chair in the middle with testing tubes. There was a chair next to it. The jars surrounded the ground near the wall. But the surprising thing was, they were all empty and covered in dust like everything else. Edward walked inside to take a closer look. It sure was a strange place.

Well, it was a rumor after all.

Someone might have been experimenting in here but that would be years ago, judging by the way everything looks. But there might be someone coming here once in a while to look at the sight outside in the next room.

He wondered why it was abandoned; it would be a nice place to stay.

That is until he heard a creak behind him.

Too close.

Before Edward had the chance to turn around, someone had tied a blindfold over his eyes and wrapped an arm around his waist, trapping his arms and preventing him from putting his hands together.

"Hey! Who the hell are you and what the hell you want? Let go!" he struggled but no budge.

"Shh... I don't want to hurt you."

A woman? What the hell?

How was she that strong?

"What do you want?"

"You're very young; I definitely would like to see the effects."

"What the hell are you talking about, let go!"

Suddenly, he felt a stinging pain in his left wrist.

"Don't worry, it won't kill you or harm you. Just a little test. I'll see you later.."

The woman's arm disappeared and as Edward tore out the blindfold, she was gone. Ed could hear her footsteps fading in the distance.

He took out his glove and lifted up the sleeve of his red coat to find a little red mark. Had the woman injected him with some strange poison?

He was suddenly filled with cold fear as if he had been filled with liquid nitrogen. Why had the woman done that? Who was she? What did she want? What effects?

He couldn't possibly tell Alphonse about it. There were already lot of worries in their heads, and he didn't need to add another one. He would just keep it to himself. And he definitely wouldn't tell the Colonel. Why would he care about him anyway? Even if he did, Ed definitely wouldn't want someone worrying about his own problems. He didn't want anyone to carry his own burdens.

It was his fault anyway. He had dropped his guard. If he told the Colonel what happened, what would he do? Lecture him on how careless he was and blah blah blah.

Edward rubbed his stinging arm, as if trying to make it disappear.

"What's wrong, brother?" Alphonse had appeared at the door.

"Oh Al, I think I got bit by some bug or something. This place is crawling with old insects."

"What's that in your hand?"

Ed realized he was still holding the blindfold. "I...found it on the floor. What about you? Did you find anything?"

"Nothing. Did you see anyone?"

"Well, I saw a woman in the next room; she was just sitting in front of the window, watching outside. I asked her if there was anyone living here or doing strange things, but she told me there isn't anyone and that she only came there because she liked the view. I found these in here but they're all dusty and probably hadn't been used for months." Edward lied.

"Are you going to tell the Colonel about the woman?"

"No, why would he care? Let's get out of here."

As they rode in the back of the car going to the hotel, Edward looked outside with a thoughtful look on his face. He wasn't talking much. His left wrist stung and he was afraid of the unknown. What the hell was it going to do to him? He rubbed his arm once again.

"Brother, are you alright? You're acting weird. Is there something you're not telling me?"

"What? No… I have a headache and I'm tired, that's all. And I still have to write a stupid report for that Colonel bastard when we get back."

"Why don't you sleep? I'll tell you when we get to the hotel."

Edward closed his eyes, but he knew he wouldn't sleep with a bunch of awful thoughts in his mind.

Roy Mustang watched as the fifteen-year-old state alchemist walked slowly into his room with a piece of paper. He was late half an hour again. His eyes looked sunken, telling Roy that he didn't get enough sleep, or not at all. He also wasn't wearing his gloves and holding his left wrist.

"Here, my report." Fullmetal said quietly.

The Colonel took it and skimmed through.

"Upon investigating the warehouse near the south, I come to say that there wasn't anyone and that the whole place is covered in dust. There is a room full of jars and testing tubes but they were empty and also dusty, meaning that there hasn't been anyone there for at least a year."

"So there wasn't anyone, huh?"

"It's in the report…" Edward replied.

"It's too short, Fullmetal. Like you!" But Edward didn't give a reaction.

"I didn't have anything else to write." He turned around, facing the door. "Am I dismissed?"

Roy Mustang was surprised. He hadn't yelled back for calling him short. And what was up with the attitude?

Something serious must have happened…

"What's wrong?" he asked with sympathy.

Edward turned back. "Nothing. And if there was anything, why would you even care?"

"Look Edward, if there is something you're keeping to yourself, then you better-"

Edward suddenly grabbed his wrist with pain as if he was just struck with lightning. He fell to his knees and lowered his head.

"Ed…Edward?"

Ed started shaking, then his eyes rolled behind his head and he fell on his side like a stone.

Roy ran beside him. "Edward?! Edward, wake up!" He checked his pulse and it was normal. Roy shook him and pulled his hair out of his face. Ed had gone pale.

Did he faint?

In about fifteen seconds, Edward opened his eyes and sat up.

"Fullmetal?" Roy Mustang asked.

"Who the hell are you?" Edward yelled looking beside the Colonel.

"Wh-what?" Roy Mustang said as he looked beside him. There wasn't anyone there.

What is going on?

A/N: Yeah, Edward is angry at the moment. But soon he's gonna be... screaming? Okay… No spoilers. Just tune in! I would really appreciate if you gave me some constructive criticism on how to make this better. AND PLEASE REVIEW!
