A/N Hey guys, this is chappy 5 and I hope that some of your questions are answered but I really should atart combining chapters. '

Connie's POV

I was looking for Ariel. After several minutes of asking ride operators if they had seen her, one told me that they had see her leave. I clutched my prize monkey and wandered out of the carnival, looking for my sister. 'Why would she leave?' I wondered as I walked over to some trees. I see her two figures hugging each other under the moonlight. One has their face buried in the others chest. You look closer and realize who the two are. 'Hm,' I think mischievously. 'If this isn't good enough for blackmail, nothing is!' After a few more minutes my sister parts from Ed and walks back towards the hotel.

I followed quietly behind her until I got close enough to hear her say, "We were so different back then."

Ariel's POV

After several minutes of crying on Ed, I finally separated from him, and said, "I have to go think."

"Okay," he says solemnly. I walk towards the hotel and think to my self, 'Why did she do it, why didn't he stop her?' I kicked at a rock absentmindedly.

"I remember what she told us before she died," I thought aloud.

Flashback

"Never give up, and if you can fight for what you know is right, even if you're fighting alone," a woman with long wavy black hair says as she looked down at her two daughters. They nod and she holds out a closed hand to each of them. "Open your hands," the woman said. They did as they were told and she dropped a silver object in each of their hands. One was a chain with a hard red glass flame on the end and the other was a bracelet with red crystals embedded in the silver and a transmutation circle engraved in the back.

"But mom!" I shouted. "These are your treasures."

"They're yours now, and if anything is to happen to me, I want you to study alchemy, more than I could teach you, and take care of each other, because if you don't no one else will!" she said sternly as she looked in our violet eyes."

"We were so different back then," I sighed.

"I know," a familiar voice startled me. I turned to face my sister, who had a sad look on her face. " They say 'Ignorance is bliss."

"Well, I guess it was," I meekly replied, my eyes still red from crying.

"I miss them too, but you know that there isn't anything we can do!" Connie said softly.

"But she didn't deserve it, what did she do that was so wrong?!" I shouted.

"You may have forgotten, but remember what dad said to her before she pulled out the gun, because I do!" Connie said harshly. I stood there as cold memories flooded back.

Flashback

Our mother had just walked into her room where a heated discussion was going on.

"How can you stand there after what you did?!" a her voice screamed.

"Come on, let's go see," I whispered to Connie.

"We really shouldn't," Connie whispered seriously.

"Fine, but I'm going!" I said stubbornly, as I snuck to the door and looked in through the key-hole. A man with straw colored hair and blue eyes was yelling at mother.

"You never think! The reason I did it was to leave you with some sanity!" he yelled

"I realize that what we tried to do was a mistake!" she screeched in reply.

" No! You don't realize that it was a mistake if you're so quick to want to forget it! Do you remember what we tried to do to our girls! And think about what happened to yourself!" he yelled as he slapped her.

I felt hot tears forming in my violet eyes. 'How could he hit mom like that?!' I thought angrily.

"You're right," mom said sadly, before taking a gun out of her dress. First pointing it at him, and then at herself. "I do have sins, but they can no longer be placed on my soul," and with that she pulled the trigger. To me it seemed like everything was in slow motion.

The next thing I knew, I had run into the room to stop her, and was covered in her blood.

End Flashback

"Yes, I remember," I said quietly.

" Well, then you would realize that maybe what she said was true!" Connie yelled, tightening her grip on me.

" I know! But-but, you didn't see her, you weren't the one spattered in her blood!" I said as sticky tears formed in my pain-filled eyes. Something in my brain clicked, and my vision blurred as I lost consiousness.
