A/N. I haven't updated in a while because I've been procrastinating about what to write and dealing with homework! AGH! So I hope you like this next chapter. Please R&R. Please note that I do not own FMA just Violet. And I'm picking up the plot in the anime with the episode Scar appears attacking Ed only this time he attacks Violet. Only slightly different to fit this plot line.

Violet walked through the streets of Central fairly easily, but she was worried if her disguise would hold up. She needed to get into the library, she had heard Winry talking over the phone with Ed about a new book, but she had her state alchemist watch to do the job for her. She walked through the park a familiar short cut, when she came across a strange looking man.

"Sir, can I help you?" She surveyed the man he had brown skin and red eyes, he also had a large X shaped scar across his forehead.

"Violet Hatter, previously known as Jenna Hatter, the Rose Alchemist," She looks at the man warily. How can he see through my disguise? She has no time to think as the man came at her with his right arm. She dodged the attack landing a successful shoulder blow on the man followed by a series of kicks. The man stopped her foot and threw her over his shoulder. She quickly clapped her hands together and transmuted a wall in between the man and herself. She ran away, but turned when she saw red alchemy flash. Holy shit he's only decomposing?! He's gonna kill me!

…

"Sir with the scarred serial killer out on the loose we need to find Violet now," Hawkeye's voice penetrated Roy's thoughts and he nodded.

"Let her tell us where she is," he mused. He looked out the window in his office and saw three giant walls come up out of alleys in Central. "Looks like we don't need to go far," Hawkeye was already gathering the team together in the outer office while Roy stood up and pulled on his gloves hoping it wouldn't rain.

…

Violet stumbled out of the alley transmuting her hand into a dagger and running at the man, he sidestepped and she went face first into the wall. The man reached down at her, but she grabbed his hand and flipped herself over him and flinging the scarred man over her head when her feet landed. He recuperated from the shock and was on his feet in a second. How the hell do I get away from this guy? She thinks. Then she felt a twinge of pain on her hand, giving the man time to grab it and destroy it. The reaction sends Violet flying out into the street she clutches the stub where her hand was.

"There now that that's out of the way I can kill you Rose Alchemist." Her eyes widen in fear as she realized this man is dead set on killing her.

"Will you listen to a girl's final request," Silence follows and Violet continues, "Never attack the Fullmetal Alchemist or his brother." She looked up at her murderer.

"I will keep my word," He reaches down and his fingers stop barely touching her face as a gunshot rings out. Her eyes snap open she hadn't even realized she closed them and saw her team.

"Violet step away from him," Colonel Mustang had seen through her disguise, though she couldn't blame him, somehow during the fight her hair turned back into its natural hair color. The man pulled up sharply and I took his distraction as a welcome excuse to kick his legs out from under him. The man fell and she scrambled out from under him, running as hard as she could. She was barely aware of the fight ensuing behind her, but she kept running until she got to the train station and quickly asked for a ticket to Briggs. It was remote, and it had some fairly well-known books on alchemy as long as she stayed away from the army base she would be fine. At least that's what she told herself.
