Its been 3 months since Trisha died. Ed, Al, and I were there when she passed. This is what I remember...
"Mom?" I say as I notice her body stop moving on the bed. Al gasps, and tears rain from his eyes. "Mom?!" I say, panicked and distressed. "She's not your mom..." Ed says, holding Trisha's limp hand. I stare at Ed, shocked, and so does Al, who is equally shocked. "Ed, she is my mom, as I am part of your family," I say, my voice wavering. After letting go of Trisha's hand, Ed shoves me onto the ground. "She's my and Al's mom only!" he screams, picking me up and throwing me against the wall with such force that I hear a crunch and my vision goes black for a moment. "Brother!" Al squeals through his sobs. He grabs my shirt collar and yells in my face, "SHE'S DEAD!" Then he lets go of my shirt collar and drops me to the ground. I can't move though. I can still feel, which is good, but I can't move... Ed falls on his knees, looking at me, sobbing. "I'm sorry, (y/n), I'm so sorry.." He grabs my shoulders and pulls me into a hug. Since I still can't move, I can't hug him back. Al comes and hugs me and Ed, and they douse me with their tears. It is not before long until I join them, letting out a wail that sounds like that of a wounded animal. And we all sit there, crying like a child who lost their security blanket.
It is the dead of night, and me, Ed, and Al are in the basement of our home. We are about to attempt the largest taboo against alchemy there is: human transmutation. We are going to bring back mom.
Once Ed is finished with the transmutation circle around Mom's remains, we all press our palms onto the circle. "Ready?" Ed says. Al and I nod our heads and the transmutation begins. At first, there's a brilliant blue light, and we are all wonder-struck. We all begin to smile and laugh and marvel at the light, dancing and swirling around us with some streaks of white. It reminded me of the butterflies I saw. And the ice-blue flower I picked for Mom, now resting upon her grave... But then I remember the large foot that stomped dangerously near. The blue suddenly turned black and red, colors of anger, fear, death. I look at Ed and Al, who seem equally afraid and confused. Then, as I look up, a flash of red hits me right in the left eye. "(y/n)!" Ed shouts before I find myself in front of a black gate in the middle of a white surrounding. The gate was large, with an eye in the middle and many other designs. I go up and touch it, and the gate opens. As I stare into the dark, I see many pairs of eyes staring at me. Tensing up, I prepare to run, but a black hand reaches out and grabs my leg. I yell as other black hands come and drag me into the gate. Reaching out my free arm, I claw into the white floor. "Help!" I shout. The gates close, shutting me out from the world. The hands force me to look froward, and I see everything there is to know. But then it starts showing memories of Ed and Al. And Trisha. All of us laughing. The time when Trisha and Al beat the man who tried to kidnap me, while Ed stood in front of me, tense in case the man tried to kidnap me again. Suddenly, I feel a pain in my right eye. I scream, louder than the time the strange creature took my arm. Then, I feel a falling sensation.
I wake up to find the lights gone. I hear Ed screaming, "Alphonse! Al! No!" I feel my eye, and I feel a gash, going through my eye and down my face. I sit up and look at Ed, and I squeal when I see his left leg is missing. Stumbling over to Ed, I try to cover his wound with my hand. Ed keeps crying out Al's name, and I look over to where Al had been sitting. He wasn't there, but his clothes were. I crawl over to Al's clothes. i gather them up, and begin my own crying, hugging his clothes tightly to me. Ed crawls over to a suit of armor and knocks it down. "There's still a way... I can still save him..." he grunts as he draws a transmutation circle in the neck of the armor. He proceeds to draw the same on his arms, his legs, his head, his heart... I go over and draw the circle on my ruined eye. "No, (y/n), you'll lose your eye completely..." Ed says, looking at me with tears streaming down his eyes. "I don't care if I lose my life as long as Al comes back," I say defiantly. Then, both of us place our hands on the circle in the armor, and a light begins to glow., Then, I topple onto my side, and I don't remember what happened next.
