Okay! Here's the chapter with Sophie's POV. I had to take out some or Mustangs thoughts but I think it came out well. Here's another peak into Sophie's life. Hope you enjoy.

Chapter 10

Sophie

What is happening? Why do I feel compelled to tell this inferior man my life story? What am I supposed to say?

"…There was an explosion…"

Just like that all those memories I thought I had kept locked and buried deep sprung up again.

"We were running away, my brother and I. People with sabers and torches were chasing us. I could hear them, hear their calls, their running footsteps, and their heavy breaths…

They went this way! After them! 1,000 to the man who brings me their heads!!!

"My brother knew that it wouldn't be long before we were surrounded…

Don't let them escape!!

Sophie, quick in here!

"Matthew, my brother, pulled me into a deserted house. Even there, I knew that it wouldn't take long for those bandits to find us.

You must escape!

No! I can't leave you!!

You must! You alone can lead our people!

No! You can too I can't do it alone!

Yes you can. Go now and remember that I love you…

"He wanted me to go, change form and escape. But I couldn't leave him. He argued with me but it was too late. The bandits threw some sort of bomb through the window…

FLY NOW!!!

"Next thing I knew there was a huge flash, the whole house exploded. And Matthew…Matthew was on top of me. He protected me from the blast and he died. I would have died too if he hadn't shielded me from the worst of the explosion.

"The explosion took both my legs. Yeah, I have artificial legs from the knee down. But I was alive. At that time I didn't care if I was alive or not. All I cared about was that my brother was dead and had gone somewhere I couldn't follow.

"I wasn't exactly sane at that time. Even with my abilities it is impossible to bring back the dead. So I turned to the Outsider's magic or as you call it, alchemy, in hopes that I could do what was forbidden to me by my powers."

"But you do know that even it my world that is a taboo." Mustang said.

I gulped, "I knew but still I had to try…"

I stopped. I couldn't go on. It took all my strength to just keep my face expressionless.

Mustang waited for me to continue.

I nervously ran my tongue across my lips and continued.

"As you can see, it didn't work."

I paused again. Arugh! These memories will be the death of me! Why can't they just leave me alone?? I can't…I can't do this anymore!

"I'm sorry." Mustang said quietly.

I frowned, more to keep my emotions in check then anything else.

"It's not your fault that my brother died, it's not your fault that I lost most of my limbs. That's my fault for being so stupid."

To my surprise, Mustang smiled.

"You're not stupid." He said, "It's not your fault."

Wow. That was actually nice. Mustang being nice to me? I'm so shocked that I actually forgot to be sad.

Get a grip girl!

What am I thinking?

I sighed.

"Go to bed, Mustang."

"Call me Roy…and you can't tell me to go to bed."

I smiled sadly at him.

"Go to bed…Roy."

"I'm older than you."

I just kept smiling, "I'm far older than you think. The years pass differently for those with my gift."

He left me then. What else could he do? I had told him something I don't remember telling anyone else. That was more than he asked for.

I shook my head a bit to clear it and gazed up at the moon. Now that Mus—Roy was gone I can think…think about all the things that has ever happened to me.

It's funny actually. It was at times like this that I feel so unready to face the world.

So I hope you liked it. Please send me a review or something.
