Disclaimer: How many times do I have to say this? No, I don't own FMA!

Where was mommy? She'd normally be home by now. She's late today and I don't know why!

I hear the normal click of the door unlocking. Mommy's home! I get up out of my comfy resting-place to greet her.

I dash to the door, expecting her to be home and greet her. The door opens, but its not mommy, its Uncle Roy. My ears droop for a moment, but I decide to greet him anyway.

Uncle Roy! Uncle Roy? Where's mommy? Is she ok? He smells of blood. His own, mommy's, and someone else's.

Uncle Roy? What happened to mommy? Uncle Roy, answer me! He glanced down at me, looking rather sad. A single tear ran down his face.

"She's gone…" His said, his voice trailing off. What? Mommy's…gone? What do you mean Uncle Roy? Do you mean she's dead?

"I'm sorry, Black Hayate, but Riza is gone…forever. Dead." I cocked my head in complete disbelief.

"I'm going to be taking care of you now on." She said, another tearing running down his face.

I padded away, my heart dropping like a rock. Mommy is gone forever. I'd never see or smell her again.

I stared out the window into the starry sky. Howled my heart out, calling for mommy to come back. But, no one answers my call.

My mommy, my mistress, gone forever.

A/N This is...kinda sad. What would Black Hayate do If Riza died? This is my take on it.
