Last time on the story.

'But you're –'

"I SAID DON'T SAY IT!'

'-Ishbalan'

(Lizzy)

She stared at me. Fury in her eyes. She looked down at the road, her fists clenched and her teeth closed tightly. I stepped towards her, but she backed up. A single tear fell from her cheek.

"Rebecca." Alex ran up to her and held her. She put her head in his chest and silently cried. Alex rocked back and forth, rubbing her back.

"Rebecca…If you're Ishbalan, then…that means you were killed as an Ishbalan." She wiped her tears and stared at me blankly.

"I was in the Ishbalan Massacre. Soldiers came in and killed a child. Everything got out of control. I was only a kid at the time. I was with a group of other kids with a teacher. She was so nice. Though they forbid alchemy there, she did it. Another guy had done alchemy in secret, but she was able to keep it secret for so long. A soldier came in and shot her….along with the children. They showed no mercy. A bullet had gotten me in the abdomen, and all I could do was run. A boy was left in the room with a gun to guard me, but as I left….Flames came out where he was."

"mustang…" Her eyes lit up at the name, as if in disgust and fear.

"I took shelter in an abandoned house. I knew I wouldn't survive, but I continued to fight. I grabbed a gun and killed my first man. As he fell…another took his place. My father had found me and saw how I held the gun. He gave permission to avenge my people's deaths. I can't tell how many men I killed, I didn't like it, but I had to. It's a dog eat dog world. "

"How did you die?"

"I died from multiple gun shot wounds. All up and down my body, but that wasn't what really killed me. One of the military guys came, took me away….and grabbed what was left of my innocence." Her eyes looked down and tears went down her face. I put my hand to my mouth in shock. I just thought she was called innocence since she was…well innocent.

"Rebec-" The earth started shaking and spikes came out of the ground. I turned around and saw it was Wrath.

"Come on Innocence. Dante wants a word with you." And with that he shot the ground up and bound her, along with Alex.

"ALEX!" I ran at the boulder thing enclosing them, and hit it with my bare hands. It didn't do much since Wrath transmuted them underground and left me empty handed. I looked at Wrath and charged at him. He kicked me in the stomach and I fell down, gasping for air.

"You're such a pain. Too bad I can't hurt you. Now I need you for something."

"Damnit. You're such a cheap shot you know that." Wrath kicked me in the face and the world went black.

~Time-lapse~

I woke up in a cell. My hands bound above my head. Some cold air hit me and I shivered….cold air…..I look down to see that my clothes were gone and some weird writing was on my body. I heard footsteps outside my cell and I froze, scared of what was to come. The door opened and there was Dante. She had taken over the body of that one young girl at the mining town. She walked over and looked at my face.

"We need you real quick." And with that, she unlocked my chains and I swung my arms at her and missed by a long shot. Envy came in, got me in a neck lock, and walked me out to that underground mansion. I looked around and there was that giant symbol from the anime where Al will soon be laying on.

"What do you want me for!" I yelled in Envy's ear. His response was a fist to the gut and throwing me on the symbol. I stood up and Dante clapped her hands, put them on the floor, and the gravity around me strengthen and I was slammed to the ground.

"Go get the boy and Innocence Envy."

"Why do I always have to do the hard labor." Envy mumbled under his breath. He later came back with the two in his arms. Dante bound Alex, and then had Envy hold Innocence in front of me, out of the symbol.

"What are you going to do?" me and Innocence said at the same time.

"Just sending where you belong. Isn't that what you wanted? To be home? Well in order to, you have to sacrifice." Dante clapped her hands and sword appeared from the ground. She went over to Alex and Innocence started screaming and crying, telling them not to. Dante raised the sword and then time went slowly.

"DON'T DO IT!" Her arm came down so slow and I saw the sword make contact with Alex's neck. His mouth was gagged, so his eyes went wide and so did mine. His blood went everywhere and Dante was smiling. Time returned to me and I felt like I was about to puke. I just stared in awe. I couldn't believe that was it. My only little brother, turned into target practice. Dante came back, hands with blood on them, and grabbed my upper torso and got me to stand. Envy pushed Innocence into the symbol, and then the pain started.

Dante let go, put her hands on the symbol and the pained heightened. I saw a white light. I ran to it because Alex was over there, and that's all I remember before hearing an alarm.

"Elizabeth! Get up!"

"Mmmm."

"You're late for school silly." SCHOOL! I opened my eyes to see my room. To my right was Jacob and outside my door was Alex, his 5 year old self. I jumped out of bed and grabbed him, hugging him tightly.

"DAD! Lizzy is hurting me!"

"Damnit lizzy! Leave your brother alone!" I ignored him and continued hugging Alex, tears falling out of my eyes. Jacob came up and pulled me back into my room.

"What's wrong Liz?"

"I…I…YOU…HE…..WHY ARE WE BACK HOME!"

"What do you mean?"

"WE WERE IN THE FMA WORLD FOR OVER 4 MONTHS!"

"Sounds like quite a dream. Get ready for school. You're going to be late." Jacob walked out of my room without another word.

'School? But wasn't I with Dante….maybe…maybe it was a dream.' I shook off the thoughts and got into a red sweater and black jeans with sandals. I fixed my hair, got my pack, and headed out to the bus stop. Jacob waved goodbye as the bus pulled up. I walked over to my best friend Racheal. She was smiling at her phone and laughing. Another boyfriend.

Biology…hated it so much. Our teacher, Mr. Smily….yes , was going over bacteria and how tiny they are….AND KEPT SMILING AT HIS OWN REMARKS! His last name is actually Parker, but he smiles too much for that.

The class jock kept staring at me and wouldn't look away. I gave a little glimpse at him and I could have sworn that he was touching himself. I looked away and gagged a little. To my left was the jock…to my right was the class nerd. Glasses, braces, zits….and in need of a fashion wardrobe. I'd rather look at the nerd because he had the decency to look at the chalkboard than me or himself. A knock at the door drew everyone's attention at once. A boy about my age came in with short blonde hair and blue eyes. He had on a dress shirt and tan pants. welcomed him and shook his hand.

"Ok class. This is our new transfer student from….where again?"

"Europe."

"Any particular place?"

"Nope. That's all I'm telling you." Another smartass/jock in the school…just great. I heaved a sigh and the boy looked at me, his eyes cold.

"All right then. Tell the class what they can know then." The boy shrugged and walked in front of the classroom.

"My name is Len Taylor. I like sports and am 16 years old. That's it." started clapping and gave Len a seat by the jock. The jock punched Len's shoulder and grinned at him, calling him 'little buddy.'

The day went on till lunch came around at 12. Me and Racheal were complaining about perverts and the days' events. Out of the corner of my eye was Len, he was getting his lunch and was coming around the tables when the jock from Biology tripped him. Food went everywhere and the jock was laughing hysterically. Len got up, wiped off the dirt from his clothes, and walked up to the janitor to help with the mess. Racheal started laughing at the two cleaning up and I scolded her. I got up and walked over there with napkins. Len looked up and shrugged.

"You don't need to help. I've got it."

"I'm helping anyway." I said sternly. We started scrubbing away until our heads hit. I fell back and held my head, shirt showing my stomach. I opened my eyes from the pain and saw the jock standing over me. I quickly rolled backwards, foot kicking him in the groin, and got up. Len looked at me for a second then went back to work. I got back to work to, but our hands met and his right hand was freezing. I look at him and he was looking at me to. His eyes looked pained and he quickly looked away.

"There…all done." I said standing and brushing dirt off. Len got up and started walking away.

"Wait." He looked at me. "Wanna come eat lunch with me?"

Well….eating didn't work out. He left then, I was stuck in classes…and now home. But there was something about him that reminded me that I needed to do something…just didn't know what.

GAAH! Writer's block! Lol. I finally got another chapter done. I know it's not long, but I was running out of ideas to get it to the final chapters. I think there a few more after this. Not sure yet. Lol.
