Disclaim: I don't own

AN: Sorry for the late update, I'm not going to bore you with excuses so yeah. But finally, here it is. I hope you like it. I've decided that I was going to change the plot from what I had first thought, so that means that next time this will be named differently.

Chaper Five of Mistakes

Lust

I looked down at the circle, which was shining a bluish-gold as my hands grazed the edge of it. My heart was racing, my arms were shaking, and my eyes were white. They had rolled into the back of my head. Right now, I wasn't aware of the glowing transmutation circle, in fact I was now standing in front a tall black door. And it was starting to open.

I looked in fear as black arms shot out me; I wanted to jump back away from them. But instead, I walked forward swelling with hope and pride. I was going to do this; there was no going back now. Hands shot out at me, I started to jump to avoid them. They shot out faster with my every dodge; it was hard to make progress to my destination: a blue orb that was situated just past the doors. I started to sprint forward, jumping over arms and hands that shot out tying to grasp me. I was almost to the door when it started to move away, I ran faster but it didn't get closer to me at all.

I stopped and looked up in dismay. What the hell was happening? Then before I realized what I had done, I noticed that the black arms were no longer trying to catch me, they were instead already latched onto me. I panicked. I jumped backwards letting out a gasp of surprise. But they held on strong. I snapped my fingers, trying using alchemy, it was hopeless. Nothing happened. I looked down at them, and closed my eyes. I focused all my energy on one place, my arm. No less than ten seconds later, I felt a pain so unbelievable crawl up my arm. I looked over to see a bloodied mess of blood-torn muscles-and veins, they had taken my arm. I looked at my other arm, all the way down to the hand. And I gasped in surprise. For what I found in my hand surprised me. It was the blue orb….Ed's soul now lay in my hands….

Equivalent exchange. I was confused, my arm was definitely not enough payment for Ed's soul….I mean come on, what's flesh compared to a life, a being, a soul?

Then I felt a stabbing pain in my gut, and I fell to the ground. I looked up helplessly at the hands that were now retreating. The door started to close. Everything was starting to fade, but that was just me. I was loosing consciousness. Was I dying? I tried my best to keep my gaze in focus. I blinked to clear my eyes, and in that instant I had somehow managed to find myself back in front of a fading transmutation circle. In the middle lay a body, Edwards. And before I blacked out, I saw him stir. He sat up to looked at me. My heart dropped, along with my useless body.

Ed's POV:

I was awakened by the light shining through the shades. I sat up and found my self in a mysterious place. It was a room with a wood floor, a tall mirror, and a small bed with a nightstand. I looked around and found that I was sitting in the middle of a circle made of chalk…Right next to it was a man with onyx hair. He was fast asleep, or dead…I wasn't sure. But there was a small pool of blood that had formed underneath him. He was pale, but I didn't know if it was natural or from the blood loss. For all I knew, it could have been both.

All that I do know for sure is that this was freaky as hell. I mean come on, you would be scared if you woke up in a stange place with a weird man.

I let out a sigh and looked down at my self. I immediately ripped off my clothes in distress, they were torn and covered in blood.

Yet my body was unharmed…What the hell had happened?

I turned around so I could see the other side of my body. What I found there confused me to hell. It was this strange red symbol, it could be found at the small of my back, right above my waist line. I didn't know what to do…This was just really fucked up.

"Ed…Is that you?"

Ed…Is that my name…. I replied, "Who the hell are you?"

His eyes widened and he grasped his arm in pain. He took a moment to recover, "Edward, it's me…Roy Mustang…"

"I don't know you…Sorry."

He looked down in sadness.. "That mark, do you know what it means?"

"No."

"It's the sign of the homunculi…"

"What's that?"

"They're people who were brou-"He suddenly hunched over him pain, his right arm over his stomach. I looked at him in concern, "Hey, you need help. I'll take you to the hospital."

He looked up at me helplessly and I made my way over to him. I lifted him up and he slung his right arm over my shoulder. As I followed his directions I couldn't help but talk to him.

"So explain to me what homunculi are."

"They're….well. Ok, let's just say that this person died. You loved this person a lot, so you of course want to try and bring them back. So you make a transmutation circle and collect the ingredients required. You then press your hands on the circle and activate it. Then you use alchemy to try on recollect their soul. Most of the time, the transmutation circle fails and…It's just bad. But then you feed them red stones and then the person slowly takes the form of what it used to be. They also bear a seal like yours and they lose their memories. They can slowly regain them over time though. They aren't considered human and they only die when their body disentigrates or they are killed with a possession of theirs at the time when they were…human."

My eyes shot up to his, "Are you saying that I'm not human...?"

His eyes watered and he looked at me, "Ed, I'm so sorry. I thought that it'd work because I had your body….I mean…I just…Ed. Please tell me you forgive me."

I stayed silent, I didn't know what to say. I mean come on, I just woke up to an unfamiliar place to find a man lying by a circle of chalk, and then I'm lying in it. He and I are covered in blood, I take him to the hospital and he tells me that I'm not human. I mean come on , what the fuck is there to say.

So I just stay silent, and he finally says, "The doors here."

I nodded my head, not caring if he saw. I opened it and instantly I heard, "Fullmetal! Roy! What in the hell happened to you both?"

A man in white ran forward with a stretcher and Roy was lifted onto it. Before he was strolled away he said, "Ed…I know that you're confused but please don't leave…"

I didn't reply as he exited the room to somewhere else. A nurse approached me, "Sir Elric, what happened?"

I looked at her, "I don't know…You'll have to talk to him."

And with that I also left. And in fifteen minutes I found myself walking through the park, thinking things over. It was really peaceful here, I was completely alone and the weather was wonderful. The trees were beautiful and the grass was still wet with dew. I felt something hit my neck. I turned to see a girl with long black hair, she had a symbol like mine on her chest. And her nails were long and black.

And unfortunately they were digging into my throat, my blood seeped to the ground as she glared at me.

Her voice was filled with fire and disgust: "What the hell did you do to Envy?"
