"Am I really gonna do this..?" A solemn tone came from a young girl as she looked over the large transmutation circle that was etched in the concrete floor and the remains that were laid in the middle, a few silent tears formed in her eyes as they ran down her cheeks. She opened her eyes slightly as she fell back on her knees and her hands found their way to the floor near the circle, clenching her hands to the point where her knuckles had turned white. The girl was only 16, but after witnessing Edward Elric's death at the hands of the homunculus named Envy the once proud girl had been completely broken; her heart which had been broken in the past this time felt as though it had completely shattered. She didn't bother trying to mend it this time, the heart was like a mirror..Once broken it could never be mended, the remnants were left scattered on the cold, dingy floor.

Before she had met the Elric brothers she was alone, having pretty much raised herself after losing her parents in the Ishbal War. Since she refused to go into foster care and stay in the system until she was 18, she ran away and took refuge in the home where she had grown accustom too. Since she at the time had a problem with trusting others and with her temper she had gotten into a lot of trouble at school for getting into fights with many of the boys in her class. She pretty much kept to herself since she was a little girl and living on her, because of her pride never letting anyone know her true feelings. Underneath her confident, defiant appearance that she put out to others, on the inside she was lonely. After meeting the Elric brothers at 15, even after a rocky start and at one point being sworn enemies with the Famous Fullmetal Alchemist Edward Elric. After traveling with the two for a period of time, she later found love with the one she originally saw as her greatest adversary.

Love...The only drive that she had left. The force that had driven her as far as to consider the most taboo of all alchemical arts...Human transmutation. She knew of the risks, she had no family and the one whom she greatly cared for was dead...She felt as though she had nothing to lose. She knew of the laws of equivalent exchange and that human transmutation was forbidden by both the laws and by nature. She also knew of the price that had to be paid, but she didn't care...She'd give anything to see Edward again.

She remained isolated from everyone that she knew, which included his little brother Alphonse and the military officers whom she had gotten to know. She remained secluded in her study, studying rigorously in different forms of alchemy...Until she felt as though she was ready.

She looked down at the transmutation circle with a solemn expression, closing her eyes as she placed her hands on the edge. At first the transmutation seemed to be going as planned, until things started to go horribly wrong. Her eyes widened when the room turned dark, the sparks turned a dark shade of purple and a blustering wind formed in the middle of the circle around the remains.

Wh-Whats going on! She thought drastically to herself, her eyes dilating out of fear. Long vine-like ropes appeared from the fog and wrapped themselves tightly around her arms, legs, and body.

"No! Let me go!" She cried, struggling violently against the strange vine-like ropes. Her eyes widened out of horror when she saw the Gate opening, looking back to see movement in the middle of the circle as she began to struggle even more violently. "Ed!" She yelled, eyes watering.

A head raised from the area where the remains once sat, the remains turning into a form of a young boy. Red markings snaked around his body, his eyes were gray with hints of fading gold. The boy looked sick, his face was deathly pale as his hands clawed at the stone floor as he coughed and choked. His eyes watered from a strong searing pain as he held tightly to his left shoulder, screaming from the intense throbbing. He soon looked up, eyes widening out of horror at the sight of the Gate. He pushed himself back, staring at the unfamiliar girl being taken by the Gate.

I'm sorry...She thought sadly to herself closing her eyes with a few tears in them as she was pulled into the Gate, the large door closing after it claimed its prize for her foolishness.

The boy cocked his head slightly as he clutched his throat, crawling toward the dark Gate with a curious look on his face as he pressed his hand against it as the door began to disappear. His body was trembling in a miserable sort of way, coughing as he wiped his watery eyes. W-who was that girl...? Who am I?

The Gate soon disappeared, leaving the boy alone on the cold cement floor. He pushed his trembling body so that he sat on his knees as he pressed his hands against the floor, letting out a strangled cry out of pain as a few hot tears hit the floor underneath him. As any homunculus when they are first born, the boy was very weak. He needed the red stones to live, to help surpass the searing pain that spread throughout his body. He doubled over as he began to cough and choke...A never-ending torture. Now it was obvious on why Envy was so bent on killing Edward's father, for the pain he had put him through after Hoenhiem abandoned him after the failed transmutation just so he could abandon him like a worthless piece of garbage...A mistake he wasn't willing to deal with even though it was his sin to bear. "What did I do!" He cried, wincing at the sharp pain that spread throughout his body. "Why am I in so much pain...?" He whimpered as he collapsed on the stone floor, closing his eyes to hide his watery, yet still golden eyes. "Who am I...And why do I feel so empty...?"
