Ch. 6 Disclaimer: I do not own Full Metal Alchemist or any of its characters.

I have been sitting here for a while, and I can't do much of anything else seeing as I don't have a full arm or leg. They haven't developed since Roy found me. What will I do now, how do I find Trisha Elric? I took another look into the mirror and smiled; I could see myself, and that fact alone calmed me down. I will find Trisha, but for now I have to figure out how to deal with the situation I'm in. As I stared into my own green eyes, Sarah and Yuriy walked into the tent.

"Hello, I see you're still okay," Sarah said with in motherly tone, "We have some very happy news for you, and I hope you're as excited as we are when you hear it."

I stared at her in anticipation when Yuriy walked up to take one of my small hands in his and say with a small smile, "Lieutenant Colonel Mustang told us we could take you home to Resembool, the town we live in. You'd be safe there and you'd have kids your age to play with," as Yuriy talked I smiled more and more, these people were willing to take me in, to take care of me, how could I say no to this. However, "Trisha Elric, I can't, I'm sorry I can't go," I replied sadly, hiding my face as I felt tears form in my eyes, the memory of Truth and its creepy smile as small black hands pulled me into this world resurfacing. "I must find Trisha Elric, I hav-have to," I choked out.

My chance at happiness, perhaps my only chance, and I have to throw it away beca-," Are you talking about the mother of two boys we know," Sarah interrupted my thoughts and I looked up at her with a tear stained face, "We know a Trisha Elric, but how do you know her?"

Yuriy stood up to stand by his wife as I explained how I knew the woman's name. "I don't know, when I woke up that's one of the only things I could remember, and if I know that name then that means I have to find her," I lied. How can I tell them it was because a creature by the name of Truth told me to, that I was flung into this world by force and that Roy was the first normal person I had met?

Sarah bent down to stroke my face like any mother would, "You can come with us and we can take you to Trish, she's actually a personal friend of ours. Would you like that?"

Sarah then stood up and let her husband take over with the talking, "We leave in three days, that's when our term ends, and then you get the lucky opportunity to meet my amazing little girl, I hope you're excited," Yuriy gave my small hand a little squeeze and began to walk out of the tent as Sarah picked me up to lay me in a small cot already prepared with a blanket and pillow.

"Here you go, you seem very tired, so rest and you can think about everything we told you when you wake up, doesn't that sound nice," Sarah said while tucking me in. This is nice, Sarah is nice, and kind, and so is Yuriy.

"Thank you Sarah, do you think I'll be able to see Roy again. I really want to," I yawned before continuing, "to thank him for taking me here with him."

Sarah smiled as I slowly descended into sleep. I was more tired than I thought. "I will see to it that he greets you when you first wake up, sweet dreams," she quietly said as I believed that, for the first time in a long while, I would have good dreams for once.

-000-

I was back in my sea of white. I started to panic as I stared into the pale void around me, thinking everything, Yuriy and Sarah, was all a dream. That immediately changed when the view shifted into grassy hills as far as the eye could see. A boy that looked like me, with the same tanned skin, green eyes, and shorter but definitely curly brown hair. He must be James, my brother. I remember him, he's the only thing I can remember from my life before.

James was sitting with me, both of us looking at the rolling hills of green. This is nice, it's a clear day outside and it's warm, so warm. Nothing could be better, that is, until the planes came. A siren could be heard in the distance and immediately I stood up and grabbed for James. I didn't know what was going on, but I knew it wasn't anything good. "James, come on, we have to go. We aren't safe here!"

I looked down to see James's confused little face. He's only four, that's right I remember. James was my little brother and mom told us not to go outside but we did any way. It was my fault.

"Big sis, what's going," James was cut off as we heard an explosion go off. It was close and the shock of it sent me and James tumbling down the hill. I quickly picked James up and hurled him over my shoulder with all the strength I had in my five year old body. I raced to the small wooden house near the edge of the bottom of the next hill. By the time I reached out to the doorknob another explosion went off and I nearly dropped James. He was crying so much and I wondered where mom was. Why wasn't she here?

At that moment a bomb was dropped right next to our house, shrapnel getting caught in our skin. It hurt, and I heard James cry even louder now, so I shielded him with my body as our house came down around us. I cried too telling my brother it was going to be ok, that big sis is going to take care of you. Every tear felt like molten lava running down my face and fire engulfed both me and James.

AN: So, it's been a while, huh. I am sorry I haven't updated much, and it is probably going to be like this for a while until I get proper inspiration for this story. I haven't felt motivated and it's hard to continue a story when you feel that way. That being said, I am not going to give up on this and I will try to put out chapters. Thank you for your patience, those of you who do follow this story, and I hope this chapter is good enough. SilverSeaStar out *Bye*.
