I walked to the old graveyard up the hill from my grandmothers so i could hide. I really didn't want people seeing me in this ridiculous outfit. "So here I am dressed like the fullmetal alchemist just because grandme didn't give me a damn chance to look around for something else to wear, and she thinks it suits me? It's not even girls clothes GOD DAMMIT!" I said freaking the fuck out.

I found my brother's grave and looked at it. "Why did you have to leave me Braiden, why couldn't it be me instead." I muttered to myself as I knelt down trying not to cry. "aw, what do we have here miss your little brother? Huh?" said a very patronizing sounding voice making me jump to my feet.

"W-who's t-there!" I said with a stutter. "Hee, hee, hee, No need to be so defensive. I'm here to help" he said jumping down from the tree he was hiding in reveling himself. he had long dark green dried locks pulled back with a red head band though dried locks went over face, his eyes were a dark navy blue almost a purple. he had a grin like president trump. He was wearing a dark gray hoodie and i pare of ripped up jeans.

"Help? What do you mean I-I don't even know you?!" I said backing away. He looked up is if he was thinking to himself then his head snapped right back at me. "well excuse me for being so rude my name is En- Cassy, yes Cassy rivers. Its a pleasure to finally meet you Sofia." he said getting closer. my eyes widened "how do you know my name I've never seen you in my life!" I said backing away from him.

"Oh well everyone in green groves knows who you are, your known as the useless cripple that can't even do anything for herself. Couldn't even save her own little brother. Ha! what a pity not only that, your basically the laughing stock considering how short and useless you are!" He said patronizing me. "He didn't just call me that did he he didn't just call me me a useless short cripple did he!"I thought to myself raging inside.

"Well" he continued. " At least thats what I've been told. you see i think its not right that people treat you like a burden instead of a person. its just not cool as you would put it. Maybe I could help you out with your little dilemma. " he said putting his arm around me. "What do you mean dilemma!?" I said Questioning him and trying to push him off. "With you know being hated and and feeling like you don't really belong here." He said.

"oh, yeah that" I said sadly. "How could you help me? Your just some high school punk? It's not like you could I don't know send me to another world where every thing makes sense, where I could be liked and feel like I'm not so outta place. I bet all your here for is to mess with my head." I said turning to walk away. " Wait" he said grabbing my wrist.

"I can help you with just that! I'm actually from another world!" he said anxiously. I tilted my head to the side confused. " Don't give me that look, I'm telling you the truth! Honest!" he said with his eyes wide. "well then whats this place you come from like?" I said not believing a word he was saying.

"Alright, if you want to know then follow me." he said. " Why? I said. Why can't you just tell me about it here?" he looked at me and replied " someone could be listening this town's pretty nosy, wouldn't want them hearing what I'm about to tell you they'd think I was a nut case."

"How do I know its not a trap, huh?" i said braking free from his grasp. "It's no a trap!, We are both miserable here aren't we so why would I to trick a girl I don't even know that well." he said defensively. I took a minute to let all of this proses in my mind. " hmm I could go with him and hear him out, maybe he dose know something and maybe he could help me. but then again he could be plotting something and I could and up in real trouble. If I don't go I may never know for sure and plus it's not like I have much to lose so."

"Fine! I go with you I'll hear you out!" I said quickly. "Good, good came with me we'll go back to my place I tell you everything there." he replied happy by my response. "By the by Why are you dressed like that its no where near Halloween?" he asked me. I suddenly realized that I was still in what looked like fullmetal's clothes. "Umm, my clothes got ruined tis morning when i was walking to my grand mother's. They where the only change of clothes at my grandmother's that would fit me. apparently they belonged to my great grandfather I know not real flattering on a girl." I said blushing with embarrassment.

"Oh, really I think they suit you fine enough." he said. "What but they make me look like Edward from fullmetal alchemist you know from that anime" I said whining "what was your ereat grandfathers name do you happen to know?" He asked me. " Ya, it was edward Elric my grandmother told me that when I was just a little girl. Why?" I said.

"Hmmm, Strange coincidence don't you think" he said stopping. "what do you mean ?" I replied. " Don't you find it absolutely strange that your great grandfather shares the same exact name as the main protagonist of this anime, and whats stranger is that he happened to have the same exact outfit that he had as well. hmmm whats this? he said grabbing at the silver watch in my pocket. "Hay that's mine!" I said getting irritated.

He looked at it with a dumbfounded look and started talking to himself. "I can not believe this. you have the real deal here. hmmm came to think of it, you do sort of resemble him especially in those clothes. i had always thought you reminded my of him but now I know you must be his decedent." he gasped. 'umm what do you mean by that? weren't we talking about coincidences?"

"Oh, That right."He replied. "I was thinking since your great grandfather had those clothes and that watch, and that he shares the same name as the title anime character Edward Elric, Maybe he actually was a real person. maybe just a stupid theory, but It dose seem quit the coincidence." he said thoughtfully.

"Ok, ok so what your saying is that my great grandfather is the same Edward Elric from the anime Fullmetal alchemist. Come on that's impossible. This is real life god dammit not an anime!" I said completely pissed of at this point. " But what if that said anime was based on a true story, Then what? Huh." he said with a smirk. "just take me to your gad damn house so I can hear what you wanted to tell me already!" I retorted.

"Ok shesh, You even swear like him differently his spawn."he muttered."What was that?!" I said glaring at him. " oh nothing, don't worry yourself over it"he said finally moving on for the entirety of the walk we remind quit.

...

Some time passed and we finally made it to his dingy house it was a small one story house with parts of the roof caved in, there was a couple of old lawn chairs sitting on the front porch."Well here we are are, come in make yourself comfortable." he said smirking. I looked around and decided to sit down on the old couch by the window it had the slight smell of mildew.

"So, tell me about this whole other world you supposedly came from." I said. "well then the world I come from is similar to this one but with one major difference the people there mostly rely on alchemy, instead of just tech. there are these things called homunculuses, they are the very reason you and I are stuck in this mess." he said . "cause you see a evil man by the name of von Hohenhelm made u-them, there were 7 in all and the wee named after the 7 deadly sins, Lust,Greed, Gluttony, Wrath, Pride, Sloth, and Envy." He said that last name with lower tone of voice.

"wait a minute your just talking about the anime fullmetal alchmist I knew it ether your crazy,or you ARE trying to fuck with me!" I said calling him out. "Don't you get it fullmetal alchmist is real, all of it was in fact"he said getting in my face. "I'm not trying to fuck with you, I'm telling you the honest truth, I'm not from here it pisses me off every single day that I'm not where I'm supposed to be all because of that little pip squeak! " He said with attitude.

"It's all YOUR DAMN GREAT GRANDFATHER'S FAULT!" he is a damn FOOL who couldn't just leave things be and he met his end THERE only to get Stuck HERE! then he settled down and met a lady and had who had a daughter, who had a stupid son ,who ended up with two twin girls and a son. Don't you get it your Fullmetal's legacy and your my only hope to get back to my home, I mean the signs are all there after all." he said shaking me as he yelled frantically.

" Could you please stop shaking the living shit outta me all ready!" I said getting irritated and pushed him off me. " look thanks but no thanks I don't think I need help from a psycho nut-case who believes that anime is reality." I got up to leave but he got in front of the door blocking me in " listen think to yourself for a minute, Your last name is Elric Right?" He said trying to get me on board with his sick fantasy. "so"? I said glaring at him " Get Outta my way I'm going home!" I said forcefully.

But he kept on persisting "Look I can prove to you I'm not lying." he said pulling a familiar helmet off the shelf. "What the fuck why are you showing me some old rusty helmet...wait a minute that helmet it looks just like- "I started to protest but it was real it was Alphones's helmet and it definitely looked over a hundred years old. I looked at it. " I found it in a corn patch. So do you believe me now." he said.

"No way! NO way is this happening to me! There is no way in hell I'm just, I don't know, WHAT THE FUCKING HELL! I freaked out. It took me a minute or two to calm down then it hit me I really am related to the fullmetal alchmist everything is just coming full circle. I took out the photo album from the chest in grandme's attic and opened it just to see if there were any pics of my great grandfather.

"ok how about this if my grandfather happens to look like this edward from the anime I'll full heartedly believe you ." I said, shaking I opened the album slowly and A single photograph fell out on the table It raid Al the taller one on the right and Edward the with the word shorter scratched out on the left it looked like it was taken a long time age then I saw it my great grand father standing by a taller man. " that must be al , and the shorter one must be my great grandfather, It's true it has to be I'm fullmetal's great grand daughter, and I do sort of resemble him.

"Alright fine, I believe you, It's the only thing that makes any sense. there is to much evidence to all of this." I said giving in." But Why, Why me? Why didn't my grandmother just tell me? I gausse it all makes sense why I feel like I don't belong here." I said trying not to cry.

"So do you want my help outta this shit hole you know you could start a whole new life in Amestris . though it may have changed in the last hundred years or so, but still regardless I know how to get there I've seen it done once before, but I am going to need an alchemist to help me cross the gate. He said looking at me.

"where are we gonna find a alchemist in this place? no one knows that kind of thing around here!"I said now really wanting to know more about my great grandfather now more then ever.

"I'm looking at her!" he said with a grin. "W-what, who m-m-me I-I don't know a thing about alchemy!" I said scared. "Oh, but I see that you have his notes right there in your bag. you could study up on it! and I can help you try to understand it, look I know alchemy don't work here most of the time but if you have the right conditions it will work and then I can finally go home and you could start a completely new life there. pretty good deal, huh!" he said.

" ummm, but what if it doesn't work and something goes horrible wrong, or worse what if it does work and everyone hates me there too?" I said shaking. "Look do you want out of here or not? Or would you rather stay here and continue to be tormented be your so called family and those towns people" he said.

"I WOULD DO ANYTHING TO LEAVE THIS SHIT WHOLE BEHIND ME FOREVER!" I said abruptly. He then smiled and said "Well then, I guess that means you'll help me help you, After all you can't get nothing with out giving something in return, Right?"I nodded and looked up at him and said. "Thats the law of equivalent exchange." that's right so you best start studying for time is of the essence.

Little did I know That day was the day that started it all, And I was on the path to finding who I am and where I belong.
