[ P - Pre-Teen ]
A year later
A stone faced eleven year old Faye sat outside under a tree watching the other children playing she had been in the orphanage only for a year but she didn’t smiles or even speak. She just sat there watching the other children playing. Most of them were scarred of the alchemist using child. Everyone know she didn’t want to be here, she wanted to find her brother. She never gave up hope that he was still alive even though he was presumed dead. She never gave up faith that she would see him again. Faye was waiting for the time that she could get out of this hell hole and live on her own. One of the nuns came out with a young boy with shaggy brown hair and blue eyes. A new orphan named David Valentines, His mother had died during child birth and her father was a state alchemist who was killed in some battle. He was alone in this war also. He walked right over to her as everyone watched and sat down beside her and started talking to her . She didn’t reply but she was bored so she listen to him talking about his past, how his father was a state alchemist and that David himself had alchemist powers and when he was sixteen he could take the state alchemist test and become a state alchemist. What Faye didn’t know was this boy would change her world forever. It took several months to brake through her barriers and get her to talk to him. She started to lighten up. She started talking more, she would sit outside with him for hours just talking about alchemy, they would get any books they could get their hands on about the subject. To everyone’s surprise they understood it. Everyone know they would be talented alchemist someday. They were always together like they were connected at the joints. One sunny day why they were sitting under a tree behind the orphanage taking about Alchemy. It was Faye’s birthday. David handed her something wrapped in old newspaper. “David you didn’t have to do that.” She unwrapped the gift, inside was a toy ring from one of the local stores on a small sliver chain. “ its all I could afford…I promise when we are famous alchemist I’ll get you a real ring with a stone and every thing. When were eighteen I’m going to make your wife and I’ll take you away and take care of you forever.” Faye didn’t know what to say, she put the change around her neck touching the ring lightly she nodded lightly. “when were eighteen then.”
Faye awoke to the sound of children crying, smoke and alarms. She sat up in her bed and started coughing on the smoke. She stood quickly wrapping a rob around her going to door touching the handle and pulled her hand back quickly it was hot and she could see the flames under the old door. She backed up a step looking around the small windowless room that was the girls dorm room. There were several small children sitting in their beds crying chocking and coughing. She had no choose there was no other way out. She pulled her hair back into a ponytail and bite her bottom lip as she kneeled down and in the burning ashes on the floor she draw a transmutation circle. “I hope this works” she mumbled under her breath as she brought her hand down onto the circle ignoring the siring hot pain in her hands.Outside David and the others watched in horror. There was nothing the firemen could do the fire was just to hot. The boys dorm had been on the first floor and they were able to get out but the girls dorm that was on the floor above there’s was in the line fire. He had tried to go back in, try to save Faye and the other girl’s life but he was held back by one of the nuns telling him it was to dangers that he would die if he went back in there was nothing no one could do. He was crying by now as he watched the building burning. He didn’t even notice a black car pulling up or three men getting out watching the flames. David turned his face away unable to watch any more when gasped turned him back to the fire. There was a bright light coming from the second story, a light that wasn’t because of the fire. He know what it was without even thinking about it. Faye she was using alchemy. The flame seemed to almost like magic to die down and the whole building was covered in a thin cover of ice, and out of the front came a dirty and tired Faye lee carrying several of the younger children. The other that could walk were right behind her wide eyed and scared. Several firemen yelled running to them grabbing them dragging them away from the building. The three men standing in the back of the crowed watched the whole thing going down and the older of the men. A dark haired man with a patch over one eye laughed. “Well well she is even more talented then her twin.” The other men looked at him not understanding what he meant. One was a captain the other a major. The captain was a tall man with black hair and a small face. A state alchemist code named “The flame Alchemist.“ Roy Mustang had only severed the Furier for a few months. The other was a young women with blond hair pulled into a high ponytail. The older man looked at the two. “Make sure she is cleaned up and taken to central I want her to take the State Alchemist test next week.” Both the soldiers gasped. The blond protested. “But sir she’s just a child.” The Furier looked at her “She’s also very talented and I want her as a alchemist for the state now do as I say.” They nodded and he got back in the car shutting the door behind him. The blond looked at Roy who just smiled. “ Don’t worry Hawkeye I don’t think she’ll be even able to pass the written test.” She nodded as the walked towards the girl.
