Alice's POV
Truth said I came to him as a baby.
Most that performed taboo were frightened or mad when he found them. I just looked at him with my eyes wide. That is why he chose to teach me what he could. Truth is everything and anything but he explained he takes on the form of who he confronts. But he chooses the take on my brother's form growing up. It comforted me having something to hold onto from the life I was torn from.
Truth never gave me the details. But he told me that I had a big brother named Edward. When my brother Alphonse and I were due to be born, something went wrong and I didn't survive. But my body started to affect my mother's so an Alchemist sent me through the gate. Their efforts were in vein cause seven years later she passed on. I waited and I wondered.
Who could I have become? What were my brothers like? Did they miss me? All of these questions always wandered into my head. Whenever Truth had someone come through the Gate, I hid away. But one day, shortly after the death of my mother, two boys came into our midst. The first paid his leg then returned to the human world. The second was bound to the world like I was. He was around my age. He turned when he saw me. His golden eyes like my own were full of tears. His short blonde hair was much paler then strawberry blonde hair that I had. He was me and I was him.
"Brother?" I had whispered, holding my thin hand out. Alphonse recoiled, fear in his eyes.
"Who are you?" My twin begged with his cheeks still tear stained. "Why-y do you look like me?"
"My name was going to be Alice. That was what mom and dad wanted; Alphonse and Alice Elric. I'm your sister." I give Al a small smile, trying to be brave.
"Sister? I-I was supposed to be a twin?" Al's eyes widened with realisation. "I'm so sorry. We just wanted to get mom back. But there was so much we didn't know."
I wrapped my arms around my brother. No one stayed with me. But I had Alphonse so maybe it would be okay. But that's when it hit me. "Wait, if you tried to bring mom back... There is no way that it was successful. Mom's soul already passed on; only souls and bodies from the Gate can return. Those who were sacrificed."
"Alice! Look at your hands! They're fading." Sure enough, my hands were starting to break apart. I was the soul being brought back from human transmutation! "Alice, you have to find Ed!"
"I will. I promise." I whispered as I broke into a million tiny pieces.
"So this is farewell for now I suppose." Truth's voice echoes in the darkness. Growing up in the white pure infinite made me wary to darkened places. I don't know where I am, but I figure this is my last chance to speak with Truth.
"Thank you. For everything. I don't know how I could have survived without you."
Truth chuckles. "Thank you, Alice. You are one of the purest human beings that I have ever met. Find Edward, he needs you the most. But there will be room for more family. I have seen your fate child. I wish you good luck. You will play a key part in keeping the human's in peace."
And I felt myself fall through the gate.
