Yay! Here we go! The real chapter one of 'Wandering Souls'! Enjoy!!

Oh yeah by the way in the last chapter the websites didn't work so if you don't know what the characters look like then search them on Google.

Key:

"something-." Means that the speaker was cut off by another character.

Sky's POV

My hands trembled and I pressed them down onto the cold floor. The transmutation circle stood out in white chalk, the rest of the world enveloped in darkness. I was already weak, but I was determined to reach my goal, to bring my brother back to full health. I knew human transmutation was strictly forbidden but technically what I was doing wasn't exactly human transmutation. I was only trying half of it. My brother had recently been seriously injured and I was using alchemy to bring him back from the precipice of death. Back to full health. But it was still dangerous. Pools of blood littered the floor on which I worked… my blood. Gashes in my arms bled as I struggled to keep from falling under. I wasn't going to die. No not now, not yet. Blue electricity flashed all around me and along the circle, my brother in the middle.

"Yes! It's working!" I yelled with delight. But I was wrong. The sparks soon turned a shade of crimson and my hope faltered, I hadn't done it right, I was going to fail. A screamed out in pain as another gash appeared in my side. I fell to the ground, the last thing I saw was a boy wearing a red coat, with blonde hair pulled back in a braid and a tall suit of amour running towards me.

Ed's POV

A girl rushed past us, her hands clutching a shopping bag filled with what looked like powder. She ran so fast that her short, blue hair made her look like a coloured blur. I was about to turn away when I noticed something about her clothes. They were stained with blood. I started to run after her, yelling as I went.

"Hey! Are you-." I was cut off by a middle aged man who had grabbed my wrist.

"Don't bother. She won't listen. She's a State Alchemist and is trying to bring her brother back to full health by using some sort of means of human transmutation. She knows it's dangerous but still she won't listen. We tried to stop her" But I had already ran off by the time he had finished his sentence.

"Al! Come on!" I yelled

"Right brother!" Al called as he ran after me. We knew how dangerous this kind of alchemy could be and we had permanent reminders. Al's body and my arm and leg. We weren't about to let anyone make that mistake. Even if this girl might not listen. It was worth a try.

Up ahead of us, the girl turned into an alley way. I sprinted after her, she was quite fast, especially for someone who was injured. Her brother must mean a lot to her. A few seconds later I heard her shrill scream cut through the air. We turned sharply around the corner to find the girl lying on the floor in a pool of blood. A transmutation circle had been drawn on the floor and what must be her brother in the middle.

"Al! You take her brother and I'll take the girl! We'll take them to our hotel!" I yelled while scooping the girl up in my arms. (A.N: As you probably realised, Al and Ed are renting out a hotel right now. Just thought I'd mention it anyway.) She's quite small I thought. Good thing she's light or I wouldn't be able to carry her. We sprinted off towards our hotel as fast as we could, in hope of saving them.

Fast forward one hour.

Still Ed's POV

We'd managed to bandage up the boy and girl's wounds and we then lay them down in some of the spare beds. T sat on the edge of the girl's bed and turned to face her. Her spiky hair covered part of her face. It was a vibrant, sky blue. I assumed it was dyed. Her face was a light brow, tanned from the sun. She looked almost exactly like her brother in the next room, except that he had dark brown hair. You could almost mistake her for a boy even. I reached out to brush the hair away from her face, but pulled it back. Her eyelids fluttered. She opened her eyes and stared straight into mine.

Ok! First chapter done! Second up soon! I hope you liked it! Please review and give me any comments! Until then! XD!!!
