"How is she?" Ed asked looking down at the sleeping girl.

"We checked 3 times and nothing's wrong with her," the doctor said looking over Eloisa clipboard. "She's perfectly healthy actually."

"Why was she coughing up blood then?" Bosh asked

"We're honestly not sure," he told them giving them a sad smile, "she seemed to be under control after a while and we gave her a small amount of sleep medicine so she should be waking up some but the most I can tell you is have her drink some tea it might help her stomach pain even if by just a little." The doctor said giving them a curt nod heading off to his next patient.

"Brother."

"She's hiding something," Edward said frowning, "I know she is." He said a groan coming out of the girl's mouth signaling that she was waking up again.

"Fuck," she groaned out sitting up slowly, "my head hurts."

"How are you feeling?" Alphonse asked the pouting girl.

"I feel like I just consumed a barrel of oil or something," she said rubbing her stomach getting off of the bed.

"You did cough up a good amount of blood," Ed informed the girl who in turn looked down at her stomach frowning.

"I guess I did," she mumbled.

"Sir!" Ross quickly said feeling the tension start to form in the small room, "It's almost time for curfew and we should get you all back to your apartment!" she said saluting at him who in turn simply sighed and nodded.

"Alright," he said heading out the door the frown still etched on his face, "I'll go pay the doctor. Al, take Eloisa and head to the car, I'll be there in a bit," he curtly said leaving a confused Eloisa behind.

'What's up with him' she thought, looking up at the younger brother who simply walked ahead of her.

"Let's go," he coldly said.

'What's wrong with them?'

"Y-Yeah," she said following behind the metal boy seeing Ross send her a small smile.

The car ride back to the apartment was quiet and tense. The brothers would not look at Eloisa no matter how hard she tried only earning responses in one to two words when she tried talking to them. The tension was thick enough to cut it in half with a knife. Edward trying to figure out what the girl could be hiding from them.

"We'll be seeing tomorrow then sir," Ross said as the car came to a halt in front of the building they were staying at. "The military officers keeping an eye on you through the night will be positioned outside your door." She said as Ed simply nodded heading out the car and to their room.

"Night Ross, Bosh," Eloisa said waving at them as the car drove off. "What the hell happened?" she said to herself the brothers retreating forms frowning. "I wonder," she said placing a hand on her stomach before heading up to the room.

"I'm heading to bed," Ed said as we walked into the room, "night."

"Alphonse," Eloisa timidly said hoping she would get answers from the younger brother.

"We know you're hiding something from us," he said making her eyes go wide in shock.

"W-What?"

"Are you an enemy or a friend?"

"A-Al," she stuttered out feeling a pang of guilt in her heart. Alphonse had been nothing but sweet to her and in just a few hours they had become friends and know he was thinking she was an enemy towards them. "I'm your friend."

"Friends tell each other stuff," he said turning around to face her, "they don't hide stuff." He told her towering over her.

"I-I, Al I'm sorry," she meekly said looking down at the ground, "I-I just can't tell you or Ed. You have to trust me, please. I know stuff, s-stuff that could help people but if I reveal it too soon things can go horribly wrong. Please, both of you just have to trust me," she pleaded.

"Trust is earned." He simply said walking away from her leaving the girl to wallow in her guilt. Unknown to them that Ed had overheard everything that had been said between his brother and Eloisa. He was holding the doorknob in a tight grip angry with the girl that both he and his brother had grown to consider a friend in a short amount of time she was with them. She could be planning to hurt them in some way.


"If I tell them I could risk the chance of ruining their chance of getting their bodies back," I said to myself letting the warm water cascade down my back. "If I don't I loose what little trust I had and they'll consider me an enemy." Sighing she quickly finished up washing. "How much can I tell them without fucking up?" I said wrapping my hair in a towel and quickly changing into some sweatpants and t-shirt. Peeking my head out the door I saw that the living room and kitchen were empty meaning, "Al's with Ed then." I said stepping out and plopping myself down on the couch.

"Dammit Truth," I whispered leaning my head back on the arm of the couch. "I haven't even figured out if it's Brotherhood or not," she groaned out rubbing her tired face quickly rubbing the excess water off her hair letting it air dry. "What do I do?" I moaned out yawning slowly feeling sleep consume me. "I'll tell them," I mumbled out falling asleep.

"She slept on the couch," someone asked, feeling someone place something warm and soft over me. "Can't let her get cold," the voice said while I let out a content sigh pulling the warm thing closer to me and snuggling up to it, "she might actually be useful to us."

"She told me she knew stuff brother," another voice added on, "stuff that could help people but if she said them to early it could hurt them instead."

"Hurt them?" the first voice asked, "but help them also?"

"Brother."

"Al?"

"I think we can trust her," Alphonse said, "maybe not entirely but I think she can help us get my body and your arm and leg back." He said looking down at his metal arm. "Maybe within time she'll tell us those things she's hiding."

"I guess we're stuck with her until then," Edward said sighing, "I'm going to run out and get some breakfast then," he said grabbing his red coat, "keep an eye on her until I get back."

"I'll go," Alphonse quickly interjected, "I-I could use the walk."

"Alright," Ed said understanding what his brother needed, "Don't take long." He said placing his coat on the chair as his brother nodded and headed out the door. "You don't have to pretend anymore," Ed said as I moved to face Ed. "How long have you been awake?"

"I started to wake up when either you or Al put the blanket on me," I told him pulling the blanket up to my chin. "I was officially conscious and aware when you said you were going to go get breakfast."

"Good," he said moving the wooden chair in front of me.

"I know you've got questions," I sighed sitting up running my hand through my wavy/curly hair, "Al's gone so don't hold back?"

"Who the hell are you?" he said glaring at me.

"I'm not from this world, that much is true," I sighed, "What I've told about my world being different from yours is all true. Have you ever thought of the idea that there is more then one universe?" I said unintentionally placing a hand on my stomach. "Alternate universes."

"A world were alchemy doesn't exist," he said crossing his arms over his chest, "your world."

"There is a theory in my world that we aren't the only universe," I told him smiling, "There are an infinite number of universes out there, this one, your home is part of it along with mine. It's hard to explain without revealing too much information but within certain universes, there's an alternate timeline."

"What are you getting at?"

"My timeline never pursued alchemy therefore it never advanced. Which also mean certain people couldn't have existed because certain things happened that made them to have never come to existence," I told him as realization slowly started to dawn on his face as he started to piece what I was saying.

"We don't exist in your world," he whispered looking down at the ground, "then," he started "how the hell do you know stuff about us!" he shouted.

"People can be born in one world be created as something else in another like a story." I finished quickly being pulled up to be face to face with Edwards furious and disbelieving face.

"Who the hell are you?" he growled out just as I was about to tell him the front door squeaked open revealing all with a bag full of food.

"I'm back brother," Al said happily closing the door behind him, "I was able to find this restaurant that served your favorite breakfast," he looking over to see me on the floor and Ed a few feet away with his back to us an aura of pure anger surrounding him. "Brother?" Al asked, Ed quickly grabbing his red coat and walking out the door slamming it behind him. "What happened?"

"The truth hidden within the truth," I said scratching my head looking out the window next to the couch seeing Ed's back quickly maneuvering its way around the crowd, "I think Sheska might almost be done with those notes." I said walking over to Al and taking the food from him.


"She's taking longer than I thought to use her alchemy," a low seductive voice said leaning her curvy body on the cement wall. "Father won't be pleased." She said.

"I can always go and help rush the process," another voice said hidden in the dark corner of the room.

"Lust, can I eat her?" a large, round, short bald man said sucking on his hand.

"No," the tall curvaceous woman named Lust said, "she's the main person we need to stay alive."

"For someone so important she sure is slow," the voice hidden in the dark said walking towards Lust rubbing its head.

"Patience Envy," Lust said smiling.

"We waited 100 years for that useless human to be born and another 16 for her to be ready," Envy said one of his veins popped out pulsing, "so excuse me for being a bit frustrated."

"Hungry," the round man pouted rubbing his stomach.

"You'll get your snack soon Gluttony," Lust said heading towards the door of their small room. "Come we have to start heading to Central," she said Gluttony nodding mumbling hungry under his breath following Lust.

"Such a pain," Envy groaned rolling his eyes and following behind the other two, two dead bodies slowly bleeding out in the middle of the room.
