"Sissy, sissy's-" She sniffles as tears streamed from her confused eyes. "Something's wrong with, with sissy!" the mother wrung her hands in a dish cloth and frantically ran out the door of their small home. "Trinity, whats wrong with Charlotte?" They walked down the stone path to their yard, the mother stopping at the edge of the woods. "Trinity, carlotta, charlotte and her boyfriend just took a walk in the woods, I'm sure she's-" The girl named Trinity ran into a thick part of the woods, screaming and sobbing all the way. "NO MAMMA!" Her mother followed her 8-year old child into the woods. "Trinity! Trinity honey come back!" She nearly tripped on a rock when she came across the body, her daughter was sprawled out in a murky pond, blood seeping from her now dead body. "CHARLOTTE!"

"Hey, babe. I'm here to take te home." carlotta, charlotte rolled away from the voice that was trying to call out to her. "Come on babe, we're leaving now." detto the voice, più desperate now. "I'm getting up, Ed." She kicked off her covers and shuffled out of bed, stretching her arms out and pulling up her toga, abito da accident. "When did te start calling me "Babe" anyway?" She turned to face Edward, he was standing at the window, his arms crossed. "Well, I always had a 'thing' for you...." Charlotte's eyes flashed with concern as the blood in her face practically boiled. "What's the matter with te Ed? You're recitazione strange today. And why do te look taller?" carlotta, charlotte pulled on her coat, her bare feet slapping the tiled floor as she strode to the door. "Aren't te coming?" He sighed and walked to the door, taking her hand. She looked down at his sudden movement and struggled with the awkward moment. "C'mon."
Once outside, carlotta, charlotte released his hand and scowled at him. "What's up with you?!" He smiled wickedly and cupped her chin, he was slightly taller than her. "What do te mean! The first Tim I lied eyes on you, I was infatuated with you. Smitten even. So...." He put a leg between her's, preventing her escape. His face suddenly began to dismantle itself, like bricks falling apart. "I must have te for my own." Who she though was Edward suddenly became the boy who had chased her two nights before. "You're-" He silenced her with a finger to the lips. "The name's Envy. And you're coming with me, babe." He hefted her over his shoulder and took off onto the tops of buildings.
"Excuse me miss." A blonde nurse at the counter of he infirmary scanned through her papers and completely ignored Edwards plea. "Hey!" He called up her once again. This time she acknowledged the voice and scanned the lobby of the hospital when she found nothing, she returned to her work. Now he was frustrated. Edward jumped onto the desk, which was a great feat for him considering his height. "HEY LADY!" The bright-eyed woman sprung back in her chair. "C-can I help you?" He knelt down in her desk, examining her log book of patient. "I'm here for her." He pointed to Charlotte's name, successivo to it was the word in red : "DISCHARGED" "You took her with te this morning, except te weren't so violent, te were a bit taller." His eyes flashed with a fiery intensity as he bellowed "WHO te CALLIN' SHORT te FAKE BLONDE BIMBO!?" His expression went from insane to concerned in an instant. "Wait, this morning?" The nurse nodded as she held up her hands in self defense. "Shit." He leapt off the scrivania, reception and out of the hospital.
"So. Charlotte, is it?" A large-busted woman stepped from the darkness that consumed the room with such loud silence. "I think da now te know what we're after." detto blonde girl struggled with her arms tied behind her back, she was latched to a chair. "This is such a typical bad-guy set-up." Lust shot her outrageously long fingers toward Charlotte, sticking her index right into her transmutation cerchio upon her chest. Blood spilled down the front of her toga, abito as tears poured like rain down her face. "I see. Your body already dissolved the stone." Lust withdrew her hand with blood spilling all the way back to her. "Your definitely not human." Charlotte's breathing became sporadic as the blood poured down her legs and out her mouth. Her head was pulled backward da her long blonde locks, a large drooling man scanned her sad features. "Very beautiful indeed Envy. te sure know how to pick them. He opened his mouth wide, trying to ingoiare, inghiottire her whole. Before he could even touch her, her chair was pulled inoltrare, avanti and her nose was touching Envy's. "You can't eat her te dope, the stone's gone." Said the hoarse voice. "Hey there, I'm here to put te out of your misery." He brought her head down and slammed his knee into her stomach, sending a splatter of blood onto Envy's face. He cackled in her demise that was in his hands. The ropes she was tied to came loose and she tumbled out of the chair, her limp body lying on the concrete of the abandoned building. Envy leapt to her side and pulled back her head da her hair. He was transformed into Edward now. "You know Charlotte, sometimes Amore hurts." He detto to her in the cover of Edward's voice. Her eyes filled with tears at the though that the boy she secretly loved was about to kill her. He picked her up da the collare of her blood stained jacket. "I always loved Winry more." He grinned wickedly, his nose scrunched up. He tossed her into the air and punched her with full force in the stomach, once again. Now there was internal bleeding, the blood seeping out her mouth più rapidly. She just lied there, convulsing and wallowing in her own blood. The it all went dark again, just as "Edward" approached her.
"Welcome back Charlotte." She opened her sore eyes, she was still dressed in her bloody attire, the white hospital toga, abito now almost completely brown. She was back at the gate of Truth, though this time, a body sat cross-legged amidst the pure white. It turned lazily to her, it's dead eyes staring into her soul. "You're back." detto the blue zombie-girl. carlotta, charlotte approached her with caution. "You're me.....when I was killed the first time." The living corpse stood and walked to her. She wore a light yellow summer dress that came to an end at her knee caps, a diamond collana hung around her blue neck. The bullet wound clearly visible on her chest still The pale doppleganger touched the cerchio that adorned her chest, closing her eyes. "Your duty hasn't been fulfilled yet, Charlotte." She paused and opened her eyes. "You must go back. The stone is now in circulation through your immortal blood, I'm sending te back." The gate creaked open and carlotta, charlotte was shot backward into it. "Best of luck."
"Go ahead and eat her now Gluttony. She's dead." He kicked her lifeless form, Gluttony bent down over her and opened his large mouth. Suddenly, a transmutation cerchio appeared around her body. Her body standing up on it's own. Light flashed from her eyes as the transmutation cerchio at her feet grew brighter and the light spun faster. Envy was hurled backward along with Gluttony, both skidding to a halt with their feet, Lust simply covered her face with her claws. From the dust flew a newly formed Charlotte, darting right for Envy. She grabbed him da the throat and dug her nails into it, drawing blood. Her eyes still glowed an unearthly red. She tossed Envy to the side as Gluttony attacked her from behind, he wasn't fast enough though, she kicked him into a column which shattered upon contact. Half of the building collapsed on the Homunculus, leaving one left. Lust just stood at the banister casually, watching the whole while. She grinned and flexed her claws, lurching them toward Charlotte. She gripped her fingers tightly, snapping the ends off, she threw Lust into the air as she nimbly scaled the forgotten walls, meeting lust in mid-air. She threw a punch, punzone into her so hard that she fell through the cement floor, and the one below that. The whole building just collapsed from all the destruction, carlotta, charlotte standing amongst the rubble.
"Charlotte! Wholy shit! Is that you?!" Her eyes still glowed red, but she could make out her closest companions coming to he aid, the fury faded away as Edward ran to her side. She looked down at herself, her clothes still were soaked with blood but her wounds had healed, and in place of them was a symbol on her right hand. It was a red dragon swallowing it's own tail. "Didn't I tell te I could save myself?" She smiled sweetly at Edward before collapsing into his arms.
"Mamma! Mamma!" Cried a little girl, her hair was a light brassy color, she wore a small blue dress. She ran to her mother and tugged on her white blouse.
