Eneri:*stops crying when she notices one part of the erased circle* ...This is... what I used to kill...*her voice trails off* ...I put it in this one! ...Why? Did I want to die when I did this? ...Maybe I can still make it. If I hurry... with no mistakes...*starts muttering to herself and runs back to the automail shop*

~~~AT THE SHOP~~~

Alphonse:*still in his box and sees Eneri run in and up the stairs*? *sees her run down stairs with a paper in her mouth and a bunch of objects in her hands* ...What are you doing?

Eneri:?*voice muffled by the paper* ...Mixming mur momer's mismake.

Alphonse: …Huh?

Eneri: *puts some stuff on the ground and takes the paper out of her mouth* Fixing your brother's mistake!

Alphonse: Ohh. ...Then you really have a transmutation circle almost ready?

Eneri: Yeah. I'm going to use it...*walks up to Al and glares in his face*...and no one is going to stop me. Got it? I'm bringing my brother back no matter the cost.

Alphonse: ...Your brother?

Eneri: ...Ack!*realizes what she just blurted out and goes a bit red* Y-Yeah! You got a problem with it?

Alphonse: Haha. No, it's just that... you seem a lot like Ed.

Eneri: ...Do I look like a shrimp to you? Seriously... *sigh* That's not funny at all.

Alphonse: Yes it is.

Eneri: Hell no!

Alphonse: Hahaha! That proves it. You both get mad real easily.

Eneri:*gets redder and sticks her tongue out at Al then picks up her stuff and gets ready to go fix her circle*

Alphonse: ...I hope you get your brother back.

Eneri: ...*looks down*...Why do you care? You don't know anything about why I'm doing all this.

Alphonse: *thinks for a bit*...I'm willing to listen though.

Eneri: ...I'd take you up on that...*starts going out the door* ...if I knew I might come back. ...See ya, Tincan.*slams the door*

Alphonse: ...I hope she comes back...

~~~AT THE CLEARING~~~

Eneri:*looking at her paper*...This was really screwed up. ...Last time I'm doing something based on memory alone... Bleh. It was too complicated more than this one...*stares at the paper* ...What was I copying anyway? ...It wasn't this... ...Crap. That old bastard... no wonder why my symbol was there! I copied his! Damn! *raises head to the sky*HE'S NOT DEAD YET YOU STUPID OLD GEEZER! Huff... huff... *rubs mouth on her sleeve* ...The dead don't come back and he's not dead, I know it. *stares at her paper again*...I can finish in time. This won't take long at all.*small smile* *starts drawing another circle on the ground, this time the right one*

~~~DAWN COMES~~~

Eneri:*covered in dirt and dust*...Finally... I'm done! *stands and dusts herself off* Bleh. I'm covered in this stuff. *sigh*...I'm really gunna do it... ...*takes a tarnished silver watch from her pocket to look at the time*...Somehow I get the feeling I'll need to eat first. ...*stares at her still dirty pants and shirt* ...And change clothes... ...I'll need some other stuff too... Maybe a few snacks and some clothes...*mutter mutter**starts wandering back to the shop*

~~~AT THE SHOP~~~
Eneri:*throwing things around out of some drawers*...Nope. Not there... Wait... they might not fit him anymore... hmm... *stares in the drawer at a gray shirt and blue slacks*...That's what I wore when... ...It'll work.*grabs the clothes and runs down stairs* *at anyone who's around*Seeya losers! I'm never coming back again! Count on it!*slams the door*

~~~NIGHT AT THE CLEARING~~~

Eneri:...Alright.*rubbing her hands together* Here goes...*kneels down and puts her hands on part of the circle**the circle starts flashing with shining energy* Where ever that black stuff took him... I'm gunna drag him back. ...So appear already dammit!*the shining energy starts going black around her* ...That's it... I'm paying up... ...I don't even care if I die.*she starts hearing a snapping sound* Wha- Nngh! What the hell?*staring at her right arm that's now wrapped in black shadows* Wha... What is thissss?*echoes*

~~~A WHITE SPACE~~~
Eneri:*laying on the floor unconscious*

?: *a girl who look exactly like Eneri and is standing over and pokes her* ? ...You are...

Eneri: Ngh...*slowly wakes up at the poke* ...WAA! *quickly backs away* W-w-what the hell? W-w-why do you look like me?

?: ...

Eneri:Dammit! Tell me!

?: *tilts head a bit*...You've forgotten... haven't you...?

Eneri: What the hell are you talking about?

?: *looks at the gate behind Eneri*...It's coming now... It's going to make you relearn... the truth... I'm sorry..

.
Eneri: Wha-?*turns around and is facing the gate* What is-*gate opens and the shadows come for her* Waa!*they get her and she's fighting against it* What did you do? Why? WHO ARE YOU!

?: ...*sits on the ground*...I'll be waiting... for the day when you free me too... ...sister... *smiles*

Eneri: ? Ngh!*reaches out but...* Dammit!*...the gate takes her in and shuts*

?: *turns to someone*...The scent of your soul was on her... maybe... you'll be whole again soon... Right Alphonse Elric...?

Alphonse's body: ...

~~~IN THE GATE~~~

Eneri:*all the info in the gate is going into her mind but she's no longer fighting it* ...Again. ...Why am I learning again? …When did I learn before? ...Somehow... I feel there's no point in struggling anymore... ...Why...?*closes eyes*

~~~ANOTHER WHITE SPACE~~~

Eneri:*opens her eyes*...? *blink*...where...?

Truth: Back again at your free will this time are we?

Eneri:*eyes go wide and she gets a look of terror on her face*W-What are you?

Truth: You know who I am. After all... you have been here before.

Eneri: No I have-

Truth: Before you were born you came here. You've forgotten it.

Eneri: ...*breaks into a cold sweat* I... was... she... was...

Truth: Yes... do you remember now? ...What the toll was that time?

Eneri:?*glances down at her automail legs and left arm*...This was... I didn't...

Truth: Now it's time to pay again. After all...*suddenly right in front of her and grins in her face* What's another limb for your brother's mind, body and soul? Right, Cursed Wings?

Eneri:? !*echoes*

Edward:*has his automail fixed*Al! Did you see that?

Alphonse:*out of his box and back in one piece*Uh-huh. Looked like alchemy.

Adam...!*there's nothing and no one in front of her except a destroyed circle* ...Dammit... dammit... it didn't work...*tears up* ...if he's really dead... let me be with... him...*falls unconscious and continues to bleed*

Edward:*comes to the clearing*Dammit! Al! She's bleeding to death! *gets some cloth and ties it around her wound*

Alphonse:*comes behind him* W-What? Brother! We have to take her back to the shop!

Edward: I know that! Pick her up and take her back!

Alphonse: But-

Edward: Just hurry!

Alphonse: ...Right.*picks Eneri up and runs back to the shop*

Edward:*staring at the blood and pieces of automail*...It took her arm and destroyed her automail... for nothing? *stares at the now destroyed circle*...Why is there nothing...? *hears something in a nearby bush* Who's there?

Little Boy:*crying*...Sissy... siiiiis... waaa... I don't wanna see you die...*sniff*

Edward:?*goes to the bush and moves the leaves* ...Impossible...*he's now staring at the little boy behind the bush, wearing clothes too big for his small frame, and gets the feeling he's seen him before* ...Now where did you come from, huh?

Little Boy: *notices Edward* Ngh… Waaaaaaaa!*glomps on to Edward* Don't let her die..! She can't die...! Sissy...! Waaaaaaa!

Eneri:*glaring* What do you care! You're not the one who screwed up! Now leave me the hell alone! If I had my arms I'd throw something at you!

Alphonse: ...Why aren't you crying?

Eneri:?*grits her teeth*

Alphonse: ...You should cry. You have every reason to.

Eneri: ...Tch!*looks away from Al* J-Just go away already.

Alphonse: Sorry Brother!

Edward:*rubs his nose* Never mind me! *sees Eneri* Hey! *runs to her bed* What was your formula? What did you use? How did you know what to use? Where are your notes?
