" I'm still working on it, but I have a way to see and talk to people on the other side of the gate at this moment, using a large mirror."

" Elisa, are you serious? There's a way to see your mother?"

" Yes there is brother, I helped her make the mirror. Now she needs her rest, if you would brother, take her to her room, and then please come back, we have to talk."

He nodded and carried her to her room.

As he layed her down, a puzzled look showed on her face.

" What is it Elisa?"

" Dad, what'll happen now? Uncle Alphonse told me everything, including how the Germans wanted the power of alchemy to..."

" I don't know, Eckhart may be dead, but there are others who desire our power . All we can do is hope that they don't find us."

The moment he finished his sentence, a pounding was heard. Alphonse answered the door, but the second he did, he slammed it, and sealed it with alchemy.

" Elisa, they found us!!! Grab what you can!"

" What's going on?!"

" For the last five years, some Germans have been searching for us, the leader of these people is a devil in skin. Her name is Auria Eckhart, she desires our gift most."

She looked at the mirror.

" We have to destroy the mirror. She must not get it."

" Why don't we take it with us? It's pretty light."

She glared at him.

" Maybe for you, but I've had this arm for only five years."

Elisa tried to get up, but remembering her left leg was gone, she stopped.

" I can't leave, my leg is gone."

Ed lifted her, and Alphonse raced into the room.

" Brother, we have to leave now!"

" Not so fast Elric. I wouldn't move if I was you."

" Eckhart!"

Elisa was scared, Ed could feel her shaking.

" A pleasure I assure you. I have the opportunity to meet the brothers who killed my mother. Gold cat eyes, you must be Edward Elric, and pale blue, you must be Alphonse Elric. And who might this girl be? A stray? A relative perhaps?"

Ed looked at his daughter, he didn't know what to do.

" My name is Elisa Rockbell Elric, daughter of Edward Elric, granddaughter of Hoenheim of Light. I'm who you want."

" I've never heard of you, why is that lipshun?"

" I've been in hiding for the last ten years."

Ed and Al knew what she was going to say next.

" Elisa, don't tell her anything!"

" Please don't! Elisa-"

Auria slammed Al in the back of the head.

" That's quite enough, now what were you going to say?"

She lowered her head and spoke quietly.

" I can use alchemy."

" No, Elisa run! Don't let them get you! They only want power!"

" Restrain him!"

A tall man grabbed him from behind.

" Father! Please don't hurt them, I'll do anything, just please don't hurt them."

" Very good Lipchun, come along then, bring the brothers."


They were taken to an old building, that was once a prison.

Ed and Elisa were thrown in the same cell, Al was put in the one next to them.

" Now be good, we'll be back for you in a bit."

And Auria was gone.

" Dad?"

He looked and saw her scared and frightened.

" What will they do to us?"

" Well I don't know for sure, but I assume they'll take you and open the gate to home, and then they'll most likely kill us and invade our world."

She crawled over to her dad and cried.

" Dad, please, not that, anything but that. I want to meet mom, and Rose. And all the people who helped you in your journey."

" I know honey, I just don't know what to do."

As she cried into her dad's cloak, Ed thought of Winry.

" It can't end this way, I won't let it!"

Al heard them and transmuted a doorway in the wall.

" Brother, what can we do, if we run, they'll find us, if we stay, we'll most surely die."

" I know Al."

He looked at his daughter, he didn't want her to suffer like this.

" Damn it!"

He slammed his fist into the wall and destroyed his auto mail.

" Brother your arm."

Elisa looked up.

" Let me see. I can fix it. Easily done."

She held his shoulder, and within seconds his arm was restored.

He tested it and it worked great.

" When did you learn to fix auto mail?"

She smiled and the tears stopped.

" Last year, when I broke my arm, I learned in one month how to do it."

" You'd be a great mechanic, like your mom was."

She lowered her head a little.

" Tell me about my mom, is she nice?"

" She can be, but get her mad, you better start running, I can't tell you how many times she hit me and your uncle with her wrench. But she's nice, and she cared about everything we did and everything we didn't. She even tried to convince us to stop our journey."

" I wanna meet her someday, and have her tell me about you when you were younger."

He couldn't look at her, it hurt him that she might never see her mother. Alphonse felt the same.

" Well we have to do something, but what?"

Elisa didn't like the fact her leg was gone.

" Uncle Alphonse? Did you grab your bag of parts?"

" Yeah, why Elisa?"

" I'm gonna make myself a leg, can I have the bag?"

He handed it to her, she dumped it onto the floor, drew a circle and placed what remained of her left leg in the circle.

She placed her hands and a silver aura encircled her, within moments an auto mail leg was placed and powered to her body.

" Damn it! It burns!"

Edward thought he'd seen all alchemy types, but he was wrong.

" You can make auto mail parts?!

She cried as her body adjusted to the new limb.

Ed saw her suffer the same pains he did, the burning, the sorrow, and the heartache.

" I know how that feels. You're not alone in that. Can you stand?"

She slowly got up and stood.

" It's a little painful, but yeah. Dad, why don't we use alchemy to break out?"

" That would further prove we can use alchemy, and they'd hunt us down like dogs. I've been chased down before, I'd rather not have it happen again, remember that Al."

" Yes I do, they thought we were traitors and murderers. But a few believed we were innocent. That was when I was the stone, right brother?"

" Yeah Al."

They heard a sound.

" Who's there?"

" Shh, you want to get out right?"

Ed looked and knew who it was.

" Noah, what are you doing here, we thought you were far away and safe."

" My calling is here, helping those who can't help themselves."

Elisa was confused.

" Is she a friend dad?"

" Yeah honey, she's a good friend. How are you going to get us out?"

" Look at the floor in your cell, one stone does not match the others. Lift it and that is you're way out. I was in this cell before, I made a path to the outside world so I would be free. I must leave before they see me, good luck Edward."

And she was gone, like a flash.

" Brother look, she's right, there's a path."

" Then that's our way outta here, come on."

Elisa wouldn't move.

" Honey, it's our way out, don't you wanna leave this place?"

" Won't they hunt us down like dogs, you said you know what that's like, we'll always have to hide, we can never show our faces."

Ed saw the fear in her eyes, he walked to her and held her.

" I know, but that's the price of our freedom, we die or we hide, it just means we'll have to find a way home quicker. Now let's get outta here before someone sees us."

" Dad, where will we hide?"

" I don't know Elisa, I just don't know."
