Chapter One - A One-Night's Murder
It was a day very much like any other, yet somehow very different. I sat by the window watching as the rain droplets hit the clear glass. It was raining. I hated being stuck indoors; I could never keep myself entertained. So I stood up, and turned towards to the front door of the house. I began walking closer and closer to the door and suddenly, "BOOM…CRACK!" I clash of thunder sounded and I scurried over to the window to find out what the crack was. In the far distant, a small twister was forming. It didn't seem like it was going to touch down, but you could never be too sure.
I ran upstairs to tell my parents, but before I reached the door, a gunshot was heard. "BANG…BANG, BANG!" My eyes widened as I ran up to my parents room, only hoping for the best, not the worst. I closed my eyes, hoping nothing was wrong with my mom and dad, and turned the knob of their door to get inside. What I saw, I could not believe. They were dead. Each with probably 3 or four bullets plummeted into their hearts. I could feel tears building up in my eyes. All I could think was, they're…dead? No…, I couldn't bare to see my only family dead. The rest of my family, for some odd reason, died the same way.
I dropped to my knees, and slid my body towards the lifeless forms that I called my parents. "Mom…" I said as a tear strolled down my cheek. "Dad…" Another tear, rolling down to my chin, this time, it rolled from my face on to my mom's, as I stared in disbelief. I knew it was going to happen eventually, but not this soon. Suddenly a voice was heard from one of the corpse.
"Kari…" it said gasping, "…don't forget to live…" and the corpse once again went limp. Don't…forget to live? I thought intently, what does she mean? I stood up and ran downstairs and peered again outside. The once small tornado was now no longer in sight from where I was. I turned away from the window to be met by a shadow.
"Who…who are you?" I said scared out of my wits.
"Your parents…." The shadow said, "…they died…" It spoke in soft and kind-sounded words.
"Yeah…." I looked at my hand, "…but you still haven't told me your name."
"My….name…is…" She said, soft-spoken, "Elma…" And suddenly she held out her hand; it was holding something. She held her hand out, knuckles downwards, and opened her hand to reveal a ring with an embedded red stone. This day had become more and more weirder by the minute.
Elma? Who is that…wait! I looked carefully at my hand and asked, "What do you want me to do with…" I looked up to see the shadow was gone. It was a woman. The voice was so soft-spoken, it wasn't hard to tell.
"Please...stop…him…" the woman's voice came out of nowhere. I gasped and ran back upstairs. Now, since I've been studying the way of the alchemist, I could maybe bring back my mom. But I needed the book with the type of transmutation circle needed for reviving my mom. I had read that no one was able to succeed in the forbidden alchemy called human transmutation. So I thought. It might be a good idea to try, and since scientists have been trying to figure out why they didn't succeed, they decided to slap a big "FORBIDDEN" sign on it, causing people to think it wouldn't EVER work. But my decision was clear. I WAS going to bring my mom back. So I could see her smile just once more and maybe even ask her what she meant by, "Don't forget to live."
I began to wonder if I'd ever see that woman again, but that was the least bit of my concerns at the present time. Right now, I was interested in studying and learn more alchemy. I wanted to see my mom again, and I was going to. "Mom…don't you worry, me and you will be back as a family again." With that, I stood up and called a hospital.
Author's Note: So, how was it, do you think it's alright? I know it's drastically short (like Ed!), but I've been putting my heart into it...and I was doing this during school...I hate school. Anyway, I've been slaving over it all day today to update the chapters, so, please, if it's too over-exaggerated, maybe I can fix it (I doubt I can fix it). And please, don't flame me. Oh, and if you liked it, go on and review and make me happy! Thanx!

Chapter Two - A Walk in Ruins
I laid down the last book in the library that was labled "Forbidden and Alchemy."
"The name's Edward Elric, the Fullmetal Alchemist!" I grabbed a hold of his hand and shook it gently, noticing the hardness of his hand.
Damn you mustang, you're taking pictures of me now, without my permission? You're are such a bastard, Colonal, I could tell I wasn't meant to see those pictures or even read those reports for that matter.
