"Roy," she said expectanyly in a soft voice. The man looked at her. She opened her mouth to speak once more, but was interupted as someone slammed the door open. Both Colonel Roy Mustang and the younger girl turned toward the entrance.
"Jamie, I think you should leave now," Roy said calmly. Jamie nodded, and stood, using the arms of the chair to help her up slightly, then headed toward the door.
Suddenly, someone grabbed the collar of her shirt, and pulled her back. Jamie lost her footing, and fell back, landing on the cold floor.

~Jamie's Point of View~
I felt someone tug on my shirt, and felt my feet slip from underneath me. Curse Roy and his overly shiny floors, I grumbled inwardly as soon as I was on the floor. I stared at the blackness I was so sick of by now, and looked up, sensing the aura of a boy about the same age as I.
"Where the hell do you think you're going?!" he demanded. I made a mental note to get him talking as normal as possible as much as possible. I knew his voice could be soothing if he put it to the right use. Yelling wasn't one of them. I shruggedat his question, looking up at where I thought his face to be.
"Outside," I said innocently. I felt the boy's grip shift slightly, knowing he was probably turning to look at Roy.
"I suppose this is the one you were talking about? Why are you sending her out if she's gonna hear it anyway?" he demanded, and I sighed. I turned to where I felt Roy's aura curiously, infuriated by how I couldn't tell what he was doing. All I knew was his aura changed slightly, from as confortable as you can be with a blind girl 'staring' at you to nervous.
"Roy....." I said threateningly, narrowing my sightless eyes. His nervousness grew somewhat.
"Fine. Stay here.... Jamie," he said, hesitating to speak my name. I nodded, and appeared to look around, searching for more possible auras. I felt Kain Fuery's aura, as well as another unfamiliar one. It seemed younger than the boy that grabbed me. I nodded to myself, and smiled sweetly at Kain, slapping the boy's hand off my shirt.
"That's probably as far as you'll go," I snickered as I felt the boy behind me stiffen, his aura turning from anger to confusion, and finally, embarassment. I noted to myself that his hand, although gloved, was relatively harder than skin, not to mention quite a bit colder. I shrugged it off, standing up and heading towards the boy near Kain.
"What's your name?" I asked, not looking where I thought his voice ought to be.
"Alphonse, ma'am," he said nervously, and I giggled. Shock emanated slightly around the room, and I looked around, before shrugging it off. Amazment came from the other boy, as well as nervousness and another emotion couldn't quite place. I looked up at Alphonse, yes up. His voice was hollow, so I reached forward. When I touched him, I opened my mouth in an inaudible gasp as I felt cold metal on my fingers.
I smiled to myself and felt a fewplaces that would help me climb into the armor, and I did so. Quite easily, for someone blind, I may add. My hand hit something, and I tilted my head as I heard a clank and an empty space where my hand had hit an extra hard bit of metal. I grabbed the edge, and pulled myself into the newly found hole.
"B-Brother!" Alphanse whimpered nervously, after I had seated myself somewhat comfortabley in the empty space.
"Jamie!" Roy snapped, though in vain. I had something much more interesting in my sight, so to speak.
"An attached soul...." I told myself softly, and started feeling around for the seal, humming to myself merrily. A soul deserves to be free. How creul. Wonder who did this, I thought idly, remembering what Roy had told me about human transmutation. My hands twittered around the armor, making Alphonse laugh as if I were tickling him. I felt the armor rise near where I thought to be the neck piece, and realized I had found my seal. I smiled again, and readied my nails, prepared to scrape off the blood that made up the seal.
