Upon opening my eyes I am greeted with nothing but black. "Wh-where am I?" I call aloud. The dark felt as if it were closing in. So black. It is suffocating.

Pushing myself to my knees I make a dimmly lit mirror. I try to stand on my legs, realizing too late that I had lost all fealing in them, and fall to the ground with a starled cry. As blood flows slowly through my legs I feal the tingle move over my knees and all the way down to my toes.

When it is safe to walk I stand and take small steps toward the mirror.

One.

Two.

Three. I can tell the mirror is a good deal taller than myself, though I only reach five feet.

Four.

Five.

Six.

Seven.

Eight.

Nine...

All the way to twenty.

As I face the mirror my eyes widen.

The Oroborous on my shirt was gone...although maybe I had not worn it. No! I think to myself. I put it on and...and what happened to my top hat! What is going on? My shirt was just black. With rips across my stomach. Like something with claws pulled me into this place.

I check and look for anything else out of the ordinary.

Nothing else seemed different, but I was still confused. Confused and frightened. What was happening.

Hesitantly I pick up my left hand. My mirror image did the same to its right. I touch the mirror finding the surface smooth and cold.

Then my reflection dissapeared and my hand went through the mirror. The area my hand went through rippled like liquid silver. Then the rest of my body was pulled towards the mirror by an invisible force.

I struggle, worry slowly spreading through my body. No matter how hard I tried I could not get away. Soon my whole body emerges on the other side of the mirror.

This side was incredibly bright. So bright it is acctually painfull. The whole area was white and streached on forever.

I start to panic. Turning in cirles. "Somebody? Anyone? Please!"

"Hello young one." A voice behind me says.

Whiping around I see an outline of a person. "W-who are you?" I ask feeling the tremors of fear run down my spine.

"Ah so you do not remember then. That is quite interesting indeed." The person or thing says.

"What are you talking about? I just want out!" I yell. I'm so confused.

"I am the Truth." it said.

"Can you let me out? Please!"

"That is quite a rude introduction, don't you think. No name to call you by? Though I suppose all of your abandon them anyway." It muses.

"Wait...I-I..." Sudden realization hit me. The Truth is from Fullmetal Alchemist. Could this really be?

"Yes your are correct in your thinking." the Truth told me.

"B-but it can't be. I-i must be dreaming. Yes that is it."

"No child this is no dream. It seems your first visit through here caused you to loose all memories of your previous life."

"First time...I've been here before? Wait! Previous life, but I haven't died!"

"Really now. Thats not what I remember and unlike you I have an excelent memory." It laughs, mocking me. "But I believe that we have talked enough now. It's time for you to go back to where you belong."

"No! Wait, please tell me what's going on."

"Find your mother. Or maybe your younger brother when he finally makes it out. Or maybe the one who houses all of your kind. It's your choice really."

"But I don't have a mother or a brother!" I yell.

"You did have a mother, although now you are not quite her daughter. You have a younger brother but he is, how should I say, tied up." It laughs.

"I don't understand!"

"You will."

I feel something grab me from behind. I turn around. The Gate. I instantly pale as I am pulled closer and closer to it. I try to fight the black arms but their grip never loosens. The doors open and when I am completly inside they shut slowly.

I hear the Truth speaking through the doors. "Remember equivelency. I did my part when you died. I let you liveon as if nothing happened. I let you choose which side to go. You're offer was nice, your memories from the person you were suppoded to be. But since you aren't her you pay a new price. Now...I believe you owe me something."

The Truth's outline had darkened and in his chest was...Oh God!

I feal a pain rip through my chest, my heart to be exact.

Half of my heart beat through the Truth's ouline.

The inside of the gate dims slowly and my eyes flutter shut once more.
