Hello people! This is your friendly author, here to clear a few things up for you! Think of Adi as one year younger than Edward Elric. Plus they do not live even close to each other and are not destined to meet anytime soon, and this is NOT a EdwardXOC fic. This is my own character, and her own past and present.

Disclaimer- I do not own fullmetal alchemist, but when I win the lottery, that may change!

Tales of Lost Blood

"Do it Adi!" The stern dark haired man yelled at the crying girl who leaned over the transmutation circle, fear evident in her eyes.

"No.. no!" The girl sobbed as her father glared at her. "It might kill you!" she screamed but the man shook his head.

"Do it!" He yelled hoarsely and the girl finally obliged, stretching down her small petite hands and placing them on the edge of the circle. Immediately the room was bathed in blue light and the girl was blinded as tendrils of smoke rose from the floor to surround the girl and the crippled man standing next to her. She panicked and tried to yank her hands up from the floor, but to her horror they were stuck to the ground. Tears streamed down her face as the smoke surrounded her and her father and a blinding light flashed in her eyes and it all went black.

The 7 year old opened her heavy eyelids as her pupils were met with pure whiteness. She sat up and rose to her unsteady feet, turning around quickly as she heard screams.

"Father!" She screamed out as she saw her dad being pulled apart piece by piece. The purple smoke writhed like a human as it grabbed her decaying father and dragged him into a large gray gate that filled her vision.

"Adi, get out of here!" He screamed and tears ran down the confused girls face.

"Yes Adi, you better hurry," a voice hissed and Adi turned to see a woman clothed in white. Her facial expression was unclear as it was also covered in light. Only her shape was outlined in darkness. Then suddenly the woman screamed in agony and pulled a spear from her side. The woman glared at the offender, Adi's father. In that second Adi turned heel and ran from the visions dancing in her eyes. Again she ran into the blackness, this time embracing it as her world went dark.

She awoke again in that dreaded room. All alone, only bloodstains on the floor as her company. "Father!" She screamed out into the darkness. "Father!"

Adi's life was simplified from then on. She was sent to live with her grandmother after her father was proclaimed missing and dead. She tried to tell them what had happened, but it was chalked up to childhood trauma. The worse thing, her grandmother forbade the use of alchemy. Forced to use it in secret, Adi became the perfect child, following orders, never talking back. The picture of perfection. All until she turned 11.

The wind howled and tore at the thin cloak covering the running girl. Through the darkening forest she ran, the sound of pursuers had long since faded. "Gotta make it there," the exhausted girl huffed, hair blowing in the wind as her breath clashed with the cold air, visible in the filter of dull light. "Gotta make it to Central, for… for father!" She said, never slowing as she continued her pace into the fast approaching night.

DUH DUH DUH! It is short for suspense reasons. Plus lack of time. I have more stories to work on so who knows when the next chapter will be up.
