Jaclyn's POV

"T-heh-tshh" I laugh as I see the police roll up, I painted a shrine to the devil himslef in an allyway mostly to draw attention to the area where a killer has been hiding for the past week, it's amazing how no one seemed to notice him. Well at least I did and now everyone else will too.

"There!, that's the killer thats been Killin' the town kids" yelled one of the officers. I creep around the crowd trying not to look suspicious I still have a few red paint stains on my black shirt and my hands. I shove them into the pockets of my jeans and stroll down the street it's my third day here and I'm having a little trouble finding Ed and Al, there are so many people I wonder if I'll ever find them.

"Speak of the devil" I mumerred to myself as I spot the boys walking down the street with the same mustang guy that offered Ed a spot in the millatary I power walk towards them hoping I'll be a surprise to them.

"Jaclyn? Oh my god your okay!" He yelled at me "winry was so worried about you" he yelled gripping my shoulders he's never yelled at me before I start to tear up. Stepping backwards I start to shake I can feel my lower lip start to quiver. I swallow hard and wipe my eyes angered by my weakness.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm so so sorry" I blurt out running to the ally where I've been staying in for the past two weeks.

Edwards POV :

"Hey, Jaclyn wait" I yell out she looked just like she did the first day I saw her at my mom's grave. I look to mustang silently asking for permission to run after her, he nodded and I started off down the road in her direction. I ended up in a dark ally the strong smell of smoke burning my eyes but something else was in the air something wrong something no person should ever have to smell I look to the ground seeing Jaclyn lying there burned... badly she wasn't screaming but I knew she was alive, she had to be I was shocked to see someone I cared about a lot mutilated. I wanted to scream but I couldn't "help.." I whispered I looked to the sky "HELP" I cried out that caught people's attention one man walked into the ally and vomited the moment he saw her. Eyes widened as far as possible I turn to him "please help". Eventually an ambulance came and brought her to the cental hospital.

"What are you gonna do drop all your plans and go on a revenge hunt for the person responsible?" Grunted Mustang as he walked into the waiting room as badly as I wanted to do that I couldn't I needed to focus on my studys it'll help her in the long run.

"No, that wouldn't do anything in need my certification before I can do anything to help her" I snapped. My thoughts are so scattered I wonder should I take a break from my studies but would the millatary really understand?

"Brother?" Al speaks up "What are we gonna tell Winry?" If he had a body I know he'd be crying Jaclyn was always so nice to him just like an older sister.

"I don't know" I whisper. I haven't even thought of what I was gonna tell winry. She's such a worry wart should we even tell her? "Should we tell her?" I ask Als opinion why is this so hard on me?, she was just a strange little girl who I found in a grave yard.

"But brother we can't just lie to her, even if it is for the best." Al states while in most cases he would be right I don't think we should would telling her one of her friends has been burned alive?.

Jaclyn's POV

It's so hot, my skin is stingging. Is this what death feels like? I listen close trying to figure out my surroundings I hear a ryrhmic beeping. I try my best to smell but it hurts I smell something foul and the faint smell of doctor. My anxiety spikes I'm terrified of the doctor and hospitals, the beeping escilates I start to tear up its burning 
My eyelids but I can't stop, "Aghhhhahhhh aghhhhh" I start to scream but what comes out is horrific gurgling sounds that break into a scream every few second I hear the beeping quicken once more. "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO ME??" I scream or I try to scream but it's just a gurgled mess of grumbles. Why? Why me?

"Nurse pass me the morphine injection" wait who's that I didn't hear anyone come in? I feel something cold  puncture my flesh and everything starts to feel faded I am losing connection to my body I can feel my soul slipping out my mouth and then I'm gone.

Roys POV

I'm leaning against the wall facing the brothers I'm not mad even though I act that way I just can't handle situations like these very well my excuse has always been the millatary but maybe it's not, maybe I'm just weak.

"Excuse me mister Elric?" Says the doctor. I can't imagine being in his position telling families that their loved ones have died on his watch.

"YEAH?" Fullmetal stands worry clear in every movement I'm surprised he isn't crying he obviously cares for her alot I turn my head to the doctor his face looking nervous. Is she dead?

"She woke up in a panic but in order for her to not slow her healing process we gave her a very large dose of morphine but if you talk to her she will probably hear you. In order to keep her calm and not confuse her we can only send in one of you at a time. I'm guessing you'd like to go first Mr Elric?" The doctor sounds so monotone almost as if he himslef were dead.

"Um yeah, sure." Edward stutters out. The doctor gives him a paper with her room number on it and he took off down the hallway. Maybe he doesn't know what he is feeling but it might be love. Then again he's young.

"Second LT. Hawkeye?."

"Yes sir?" She turns to me

"We should see her" I don't even know her but I wanna assessment the damage.

"Alright sir"

After about 25 minutes Edward comes down the hall his face still tinted red from crying. I can't help but feel bad for the kid.

"I'll go" I say walking down the hall to her room.

Sorry guys it's not as long as I was hoping i could do but I'm just so damn excited to get this out and see what you think
