My disgust"

The young girl was shocked to see who she was supposed to fight. Never once in all her life had she thought she'd have to fight him.

"Will...?!" She asked, obviously shocked that her brother was the one she had to fight.

"Wha-what're you doing with the homunculi?! I don't know what they want with us, but I know they're bad! I don't wanna fight you!" she sputtered as she lowered her gun from Envy.

"What am I doing with them? Helping mankind move ahead!" William said to Lily, causing a sense of slight distrust between the two siblings.

"Helping mankind?" Lily asked, now shocked to the point where her mind went blank.

"Don't say too much. We must go," Lust said to William, obviously impatient. "Besides, what's a mere powerless human gonna do? She doesn't even know how she knows we're homunculi." Lust said mockingly as she stared at Lily in disgust.

"Let's go." Envy said, gesturing that William follow.

"Alright. Goodbye Lily." William said solemnly as he turned around without even looking at Lily.

"Wait! Where're you going?! Will! Stay here! Don't leave me!" Lily yelled, feeling hopeless as she ran after her brother. But they ran fast. Lily could never catch up with William when he ran.

By the time Lily was able to catch up, they were already gone.

[one week later]
Lily stared in disbelief after hearing about Ed, Al, and Winry's past. It was too much to take in for Lily. Especially one part where Winry said she had a friend who went to the Briggs mountains for a little and then she never came back. The part that bugged he the most was Ed and Al's part though.

"How about you?" Ed asked Lily.

Lily looked up and just stared at Ed with a perplexed expression.

"What?" She asked, kind of chuckling now.

"What's your past story?" He asked, although it sounded more like a demand than a question to Lily.

"My past?" Lily began. "Well, I don't remember much from before I was four. All I remember is lying on my side on a snowy day. I was surrounded by trees, and dead bodies, and of course, blood. It was kind of scary. Then, when I thought I was about to go also, my father picked me up and asked why I ran from him. Back then, I probably was rebellious like I am now. After that, I just grew up being ignored by everyone in Drachma." Lily said simply.

"Why were you ignored?" Winry asked.

"Because of my eye and hair color." Lily answered with a tone of slight sorrow.

"What's wrong with your eyes and hair?" Alphonse asked this time, his voice concerned.

"My eyes are light teal. And my hair is blonde. The looks of an Amestrian instead of a Drachman." Lily answered back, almost sounding upset and angry towards her three new friends.

"What's wrong with being born in Drachma and looking like an Amestrian?" Winry asked.

"I had friends in Drachma. They weren't just friends though. They were friends! They wholesomely accepted me while even my parents looked at me as if I were a traitor!" Lily exclaimed, making the sentence sound like a happy memory at first, but ending it with years of bitterness.

"I see," Ed said. "So you moved to a new country, the enemy country in your eyes, where alchemy is how you thrive. Where you don't fear for your life everyday. Where your friends aren't. Your just friend sick."

"Oh yeah. In Drachma, alchemy was exceedingly rare. And if you were caught using alchemy on anything or anyone, immediate arrest." Lily said with a tone of obvious disgust.

Alphonse and Winry could see how much she missed her friends. Edward had trouble wondering why she missed a country that obviously wouldn't miss her so much.

The four looked up to see the clock ring ten o' clock. Lily realized that she would need sleep soon, and didn't have a place to sleep.

'What do I do? I can't stay here and intrude on them...' Lily thought to herself.

"You won't be intruding. We're used to it." Edward said, startling Lily from her thoughts.

"Huh?" Lily asked, slightly confused.

"I'm sorry, what? I wasn't paying attention. Are you asking that I stay here for the night with the Elric brothers and an automail engineer, along with two others whom were born in another country?" Lily asked, sounding as if staying with a couple of celebrities and their childhood friend was the biggest joke she has ever heard.

"Well, if you're gonna be that way..." Ed said, looking away while slightly blushing.

"I'm sorry, it's just that I'd feel like I'm intruding. Besides, I'm pretty sure that I can find my lodgings for the night. I'm not a little girl after all." Lily said back, now slightly embarrassed about what she said. She got up and walked out the door very quickly just to make sure no one else could insist she stay the night.

[later that night]
Lily found a gate that she could sleep on.

She laid down and thought about all that had happened to her just that day.

'First day and you already have no home. Huh.' Lily thought.

Soon she felt tears building up as she thought about her old home and her new home.

She didn't want to cry, but couldn't stop herself. She left her old home, has basically no family or friends now. And now her older brother could possibly killed by the homunculi.

'Why did we leave Drachma?' Lily thought to herself as she drifted off to sleep.

AN: Oh the tears of a young girl who's homesick for her old home. I know the feel.
