When Mai woke up she found herself in a hospital bed. Mai looked over to her side and saw Al sitting in a chair. Mai slowly brought herself up. Al heard her move and looked at her. Mai looked down at her shoulder and saw bandages around it from where that man tired to blow her up. When she looked back at Al she noticed a he had a opening in his side."What happened to you?" She asks."The guy that attacked you did this,"Al continued,"His name is Scar and he goes around killing State Alchemist's. So you and Brother have to be more careful now." Mai looked down,"So where is your bother?" "He's next door. Scar broke his auto-mail,"Al repiled."How is he going to fix it?"Mai pondered."We have to go to Resembol to get it fixed. We have friend named Winry that fixes Brother's auto-mail,"Al stated,"Oh the doctor said you shouldn't do alchemy until your shoulder is fixed. Man, that sucks,Mai thought.
After two days Mai was out of the hospital fully recovered. She was at the train sation saying goodbye to Ed, Al, and Major Armstrong. Together they were heading to Resembol, the Major was escorting them as a body guard. Ed and Al did ofter Mai to come but, she refused. Mai thought if she went she would just end up getting in the way, so she stayed behind. When she said her last goodbyes Mai headed back to HQ and that's when she realized how boring it was going to be without them. Mai was walking down a deserted street, when suddenly someone crashed through one of the house's window! The person did a front flip out, landing perfectly on their feet. The person was standing five inches away from Mai. The person was a boy with dark spiky hair, with a headbanned wraped around his forehead. His black shirt covered half of his chest showing his stomach. He was also wearing shorts and Mai noticed a tattoe of a snake biting it's tail was on his theigh.
"Hello Paine. Do you remember me?"He asked. He had a eerie voice voice that scared Mai.Who's Paine and who is this guy,Mai thought. Mai didn't say anything so the boy assumed she didn't know."What to you want from me?" Mai demanded."All I want is for you to come with me. You're a important part of our plan,"The boy said placeing a hand out infront of Mai."What plan?"Mai asked taking a step back."Come with me and find out,"He smirked. "Never!"Mai shouted pushing his hand away.With that Mai took off. Mai wanted to get away from him as fast as possiable.
As Mai was running she looked back to make sure he wasn't following her. When Mai finally stopped she was in a back alley way, sitting up againest the wall. Seeing that she wasn't followed Mai sighed.That boy he looked so fimiller.Why?Mai thought. When Mai was done resting she got up and started to walk away. Then sharp fingers that pinned Mai to the wall by the shoulder blade. To Mai it felt as if two powerful spears have pinned her. Then out of the shadows came the boy from early and beside him was a dark eerie woman. The woman was the one who pinned Mai up againest the wall.
"What the hell!"Mai shouted."You shouldn't have ran away," the boy said calmly."Just hurry up and get this over with Envy,"the woman said. From her Mai was able to guess the boy's name was Envy. Envy sighed. He then reached into his pocket taking out some red stones. Envy started to walk over to Mai. Mai didn't know what do, her shoulders were pinned so she couldn't do alchemy. He was only a few inches away from Mai when she started to get real scared. Without thinking Mai screamed. Then without realizing it, sharp ice stones erputed from the ground. They were making their way over to Envy and the other girl. So the girl had to let go of Mai."Damn you!"Envy hissed. With that said they both disappered into the darkness. Mai sat down pondering what just happened. She slowly looked down at her hands."How did I do that?"Mai asked herself.
