Chapter One

I watched the food stand from my tiny alley across the patchy paved road waiting for someone who fit my specific profile. I had been waiting all day but so far the only people that came were either strong burly men with a large arm full of food or woman and children with not enough to even bother stealing. What I needed was a person who looked well off but was still weak and small. I needed someone that if I were to steal their bundle of food, wouldn't end up dying from starvation. Their bundle also needed to be quite large. Not just a few apples but maybe a loaf of bread and some cheese. Even some meat would be nice. I hadn't had meat in a long time. At least the three weeks that I can remember.

The first moment that I can remember is waking up a few miles south of here in a wheat field. It was drizzling and I could see nothing around me but fog. I yelled out hoping someone would hear me and take me into their arms. Maybe bring me home, set me down in front of a fire and give me a large meal. The more I thought about it the more I realized I didn't know who my family was or even if I had a family. I sat there in the rain for what felt like hours trying to remember them, my name and my memories but nothing came to me. After awhile I got up and started walking towards a dim light far away in the distance. It took about two hours and once I reached it I noticed it wasn't a house like I had been hoping but a streetlamp. Following my mistake I wandered through the town until I found a suitable place to hide.

I ended up inside an abandon wooden shack not far from town. There were jars of preservatives, like tomatoes and squash on the shelves. I broke open a few of them and poured the contents down my throat. The taste was terrible and I ended up vomiting the food back up. After wiping my mouth, I rummaged threw the rest of the junk and picked up a few useful items. I found a small burlap sack and an empty canteen. I set the canteen outside, in hopes of catching some fresh water to drink and then sat on the dirt. I stayed there for a few hours watching the rain until sunrise.

A brown furry creature ran into the ally way and skittered behind a jumbled mess of cardboard and wooden boxes. I thought about taking animals and using them as my food source but I just couldn't do it. I didn't have the will power to take someone else's life away from them. I lifted my eyes back to the stand and saw the back of what looked like to be young man. He pulled some cash out of his pocket, picked up the bag and carried it away. He was perfect! I thought. It was now or never. My stomach growled and my mouth started to water as the thought of food raced through my mind.

I got up off the dirty ground and slowly started walking towards him. He was quite small though by the looks of him he was a little taller then me. He had blonde hair pulled back into a braid. He wore black slick pants, a white shirt and a black vest. He was perfect. The clothes on his back suggested that he could afford another bag of food if he really needed it. This man was also small enough to be either taken down or the bag could be grabbed by force. He could have even been a boy he was so small. It was settled.

I got closer to him with only a few moving people between us and then broke into a run. I pushed the other people to the side knocking down a few along the way and reached the puny man. In a split second I decided to take him down instead, just in case. I grabbed his left shoulder and tried to pull him down but felt a strong, sturdy hand grab hold of my left arm. He swung me through the air and at the last minute I stuck my right hand out and felt it crack as it connected with the ground. Then like it was all in the same second my head smacked against the pavement and everything went black.

Where am I, I thought to myself. I slowly opened my eyes and saw a white ceiling. I couldn't remember what happened in order for me to end up here. I knew it wasn't a hospital because I couldn't hear nurses in and out of the room and there were no wires attached to me. I tried to sit up but then I felt very dizzy and I fell back down.

"Don't sit up to fast. You might go unconscious again." Hearing that voice made me jump. I quickly looked around the room and noticed a young man with blonde hair, golden eyes, and a peach colored skin. This was the man that I tried to steal from. He was still wearing the same clothes. Why did he bring me here? Oh no. All of a sudden I knew that he was going to hurt me; to take revenge on me when I tried to steal his food. I let out a scream and tried to get up again but my right arm was constricted in some kind of sling. I half hopped and half rolled myself off the bed and tried to run to the door but my left ankle gave in under the weight. I fell to the floor and crawled into a ball and started to cry.

"Please," I begged him. "Please don't hurt me. I'll do anything". The door flew open and a tan young woman ran towards me. She had long brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. She was extremely pretty.

"Edward! What did you do to her? She's shaking and crying." The tan woman gave the man Edward a rude glance and she turned her attention towards me.

"I didn't do a damn thing!" Edward shouted. "She freaked out when she woke up and tried to run towards the door. That girl is crazy!"

"Shut UP!" the woman yelled at Edward. She then picked me up off the floor and set me back down on the bed. "Shh, it's ok. I promise." She lifted the blankets and put them over me. "What's your name?" Her brown eyes stole a glance towards Edward then came back to me. "It's ok. No one is going to hurt you. My name is Noah and the idiot back there is Edward. Most people just call him Ed."

I looked at Edward again. He hadn't lifted his head back up but I could tell he was angry. He was very scary. He had lifted the sleeves of his shirt up and I could see that his right arm was metal. He had a screw driver in his hand and was tightening the bolts on it. I looked back at the woman and she smiled.

"I don't know", I told her. Her brow furrowed as she tried to understand what I meant.

"You don't know your name?" She looked scared.

"No". Quickly the woman named Noah turned around and started to yell at Edward again.

"You gave her amnesia! You dumbass, the girl only wanted our food. Look at her, she's starving!" That's when Ed looked up. He didn't look angry any more just annoyed.

"She was the one who attacked me" he said quietly. He got up off the second bed across the room, walked through the door and into the hall way.

"Ugh. I am so sorry about this. I am going to make you some food and then we can talk." She gave me a reassuring smile, walked out the room and closed the door behind her. I looked around the room and noticed a long mirror in the corner. I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and set myself down carefully. I took a few steps slowly and when it looked like I wouldn't collapse, I walked to the mirror

What I saw took me by surprise. I had never actually looked at myself before. My eyes were sky blue and my hair was sunflower blonde. It was every where and there was some dirt in it as well. My skin was an ashy grey color and my cheeks swelled inwards. I had blood crusted on my forehead but I couldn't see any cuts. It looked as if someone stretched skin over every bone in my body. By the looks of me I must have weighed ninety to a hundred pounds, which seemed way to thin to be considered healthy. I didn't even look healthy. My clothes had dirt crusted on them and looked way too big on my already too thin body. I had dressed this way so that I people would think I was a boy. If I looked like a boy a man wouldn't take advantage of me and I would have a better chance at getting a job.

I turned my head towards the door because I heard whispered arguments.

"Al, you can't see her yet. She practically flew out of her skin when she saw Ed."

"But that was because he attacked her!"

"I didn't fucking attack her! She was the one that attacked me remember?"

"She only wanted our food, Ed. Now, please let me give her this food. By the looks of her she hasn't eaten in a few days."

"Noah, what if I went in with you? She isn't scared around you."

"I'll ask if you can see her. We should let her decide."

"Okay". The door opened and Noah came in. She looked surprised that I was near the mirror but walked towards the bed and set it down.

"You should be sitting down. You hit your head pretty hard." I took one last glance at my misshapen body and walked towards the bed and sat down. Noah handed me a sandwich. I took a large bite and started to chew. Noah watched as I ate and smiled at me.

"So you don't remember anything?" I swallowed the bite and looked at her.

"Umm, I'm sorry but you misunderstood me. I remember everything up to three weeks ago. It wasn't Edwards fault."

"Oh. You never found your family?"

"I don't think I have one, at least not one around here. I asked a lot of people in this town if they knew who I was or if they knew a family that was missing a kid. Nobody knew…". She was looking at her hands as I spoke. "I even tried the neighboring towns but still nothing"

"Would it be alright if you met someone?" She looked embarrassed asking and at the same time didn't look like it was a good idea.

"Sure." Noah sighed, got up and walked to the door. I finished the rest of the sandwich and brushed the crumbs off of my pants. Then a young man walked in and behind him was Edward and after that was Noah. Edward was the closest to the door and leaned against the wall, Noah walked and stood beside me and the younger man stood an equal distance from me and Edward. This young man looked similar to Edward so he must have been his younger brother. He had light brown hair pulled back into a pony tail. He had grey eyes and his skin was the same tone as Edwards. He must have been a few years younger.

"Hi, my name is Alphonse but you can call me Al." He smiled at me and stretched out his hand. I suddenly thought he was going to hit me and ducked behind Noah. I peered around her shoulder and was taken back at how offended Al looked. He put his hand behind his neck and moved it left and right. "I didn't mean to scare you. I just wanted to meet you properly. I'm sorry." I heard Noah sigh and turned around to face me.

"You don't have to be afraid, Al is nice." She stepped out from in front of me and put her arm on my lower back. I forced a smile on my face and stretched my hand out so Al could shake it.

He smiled back and shook my hand. "So you don't have a name right?"

"Umm yea" I replied sheepishly. I looked at Noah and she was eyeing Al suspiciously. I took a glance at Edward somewhat bored.

"What would you like to be called? Everyone needs a name."

"I don't really know" I looked at Noah again and she was smiling. This sure was an odd family. "I don't know any names but yours…"

"Huh, well when we have to call you something." I heard Edward laughing.

"Don't you think she wants the name her parents gave her? No one can pick there own name." He was no longer against the wall but walking towards Al.

"Yes she can! She doesn't have one." Al's hands flexed into fists at his bothers rude remarks.

"She does too Al, she just can't remember it"

"Ed, Al. Please?" Noah stepped away from me and put her self in between the two boys.

"But if she can't remember she deserves a new one".

"No she doesn't! She doesn't deserve anything. She was the one that stole from us."

"She was hungry!" Al yelled.

"Let's find her family, where she can have her old name and she won't be here"

"What if she doesn't have one? She could be like us."

"Then she can buy her own home and her own food and make her own friends!" I couldn't believe how mean Edward was. I hurried to the door and heard Noah and Al yells at me. I swung it open, sprinted down the hall and stairs, and out the front door. I ran as far as I could until I was out of breath. I walked to an ally, sat down and started to cry.

More to come! please oh please R&R :)
