Chapter 1: Yesterday's Loss

Edward Elric stared at the sky above him, a few wisps of blonde hair hanging over his eyes.

'I wonder if I should tell them,' he thought. 'They have a right to know- they're looking for it too.' He glanced at his two younger siblings- Alphonse Elric, clad in armor, and Caroline Elric, clad in her green and black attire. 'They committed the worst possible sin, as well as I...'

He looked back to the sky as he remembered that night...

"Brother! Brother! Please!"

Ed could do nothing but scream andreach helplessly for his brother's hand as the power of alchemy took Al's body from the Earth, andwhen that was over, Ed would have to deal with his own pain of losing his left leg andsacrificing his right arm to save his brother's soul. That night was filled with the torment andhorror of defying the laws of equivalent exchange & learning… The Truth...

He looked at Al and then at his sister.

'Al and I...we went through all of that for a mother that was kind and loving. My sister though…' he frowned, looking to the sky. `She went through all of that pain… that fear for a god damn bastard of a father. And now… she has to learn that-`

"Ed?"

His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of his sister's voice.

"Somethin' wrong?" she asked, her identical green coat flapping in the wind.

Ed stared for a moment, mouth open just a bit, ready to speak the truth, then replied "No...I'm okay."

She gave him an odd look. "Whatever," she said, beginning to turn around. Just when Ed thought she was gone, though, she turned around quickly and sat by him on her knees. "Is it about that thing Mustang said earlier?" she asked quietly.

'Oh crap,' Ed thought. 'She knows.' "Uh..." he asked nervously. “What thing?"

"You know..." she whispered. “That thing he said earlier today."

Ed gulped & sat up. “That thing?"

She nodded, her brown eyes, having an identical look to his. "That thing," she confirmed.

Ed looked guiltily at his shoes as Caroline hugged him. As soon as she let go, she said

"I'm sorry, Ed, but you don't need to get so worked up about it."

Ed looked a bit surprised. "But… it's horrible," he commented. “How are you taking it so well?”

"What?" Caroline asked casually. "Mustang calls me short all the time."

Ed fell flat to his back.

"Ed? What's the matter? Did I say somethin' wrong?"

---

"I think you should have told them, Roy."

Colonel Roy Mustang sighed from his desk and looked up at his little sister. She glared at him from the window, waiting for a reply.

"I'm sorry you think that," he said. "But I'm not their guardian- Ed is."

Jordan thought back to the past. “Not their guardian? What do you m-" she stopped, frowned, and sighed. "Whatever." she replied, walking to the door.

"Jordan..." the elder Mustang said, making her stop at the door. “Don't you say anything either, got it? I'm not sure how they'll take it... especially Caroline."

"Yeah...okay," she said, closing the door and walking off.

Roy stood up and walked over to the window & stared below at the 3 children. It seemed like only a few minutes before there was a knock on the door. He sat back down at his desk. "Come in," he said lazily.

Jordan walked in smiling.

"Oh it's just you," the Colonel said.

"Just consider me a delivery girl, alright?" Jordan said.

"The last time we had a delivery girl it was Barry the Chopper," her brother kidded. "Sure I can trust you?"

Jordan raised an eyebrow & gave him a 'that's-the-worst-joke-I've-ever-heard' look. Roy cleared his throat. "What is it?" he asked.

"Someone wanted me to recite their true feelings for you," Jordan answered sarcastically.

Mustang blushed. "Hawkeye?" he asked.

"No, Armstrong," Jordan replied, as sarcastic as usual. "Anyways, Hawkeye said she thought she saw something crawl into the well yesterday on the way home from work."

Roy raised an eyebrow suspiciously. "And?"

"Well, she warned us to be on the lookout."

The Colonel turned in his chair and glanced out the window once more, then looked back at his sister.

"The Elrics seem to have nothing to do," he said.

"You want them to watch the well?" she asked, understanding perfectly.

He nodded. His sister saluted and walked out.
