Micarocks101: I hope you guys like my story. I'm dedicating this to my friend ThatCrazyChickNextDoor. Hey, if she hadn't showed me fullmetal alchemist I wouldn't be writing this :D.

"ISABELLA!" I screamed. I clapped my hands. Purple lightning shot from my fingertips, and I could feel power running through my veins. I slammed my hands on the ground and the lightning coursed through the ground. A huge wall shot up in front of Isabella, and the statue shattered against it.

And that's when I blacked out.

I woke up to find myself in a hospital room, lying down on a comfortable bed. I heard a heart monitor beeping. Suddenly something crashed into me.

"SARAAAAAH! *sniffle* I THOUGHT- *sniffle sniffle* I THOUGHT YOU DIIIIIIIED!"

After about ten minutes of crying and shouting, Isabella finally got off me.

"Hey, are you alright?"

I looked around the room and saw a boy with blond hair and golden eyes standing next to someone in a suit of armor. The boy's eyes were full of concern.

"Where am I?" I asked and sat up.

"You're in a military hospital. You shouldn't move, you're hurt pretty bad." The blond replied. "That was pretty impressive, what you did back there. You didn't even use a transmutation circle."

I jumped off of the bed and glared at him.

"It's none of your business." I told him and started for the door.

"But it is for the military, Earth Alchemist." He told me coldly. My hand froze on the doorknob.

"Earth Alchemist?" I stuttered and looked back at him as he held up a sheet of paper.

"Congratulation. You're officially part of the military."

My head buzzed. I felt like I was gonna faint again. How had I become a state alchemist?! I had never applied! They can't force me to be a state alchemist! I glared at the boy and stomped up to him.

"Big brother!" The person in the suit of armor said. By the sound of his voice, probably a boy.

"WHO THE HELL PERMITTED THIS?!" I shouted at him and grabbed him by the collar. "TELL ME, DAMNIT!" He glared at me and swatted my hand away.

"I can't tell you that." He said calmly. "But it would be best if you just suck it up."

Pure hatred coursed through my veins. I don't know how it happened. I clapped my hands and slammed them on the floor. Some part of me knew I shouldn't but I was too infuriated to care. A thick rock wall shot up, splitting the room in half. I could hear shouting and banging on the other side. I clapped my hands again and slammed the room's wall, making a door.

"Sarah!"

I looked down to see Isabella clinging to my leg, looking up at me with tears in her eyes.

"I - I'm scared…" She murmured. I knelt down and gently scooped her up in my arms.

"I promised I would protect you, and I don't intend to go back on that." I told her. "But we need to go." I burst through the door into an alleyway and ran, still carrying Isabella in my arms.
