"Stop it!" I screeched tears streaming down my cheeks, I was four years old and my life was already hell.
My brother stood over me. He was, er well used to be a state alchemist... He was obsessed with automaile and engineering. And was willing to use anyone and anything for his experiments.
"Brother your scaring me stop it please!"
He smirked an evil grin. "Now don't move sis... I promise this will be over soon.....
He grabbed my arm I felt an extreme pain and then my whole world went black....

----------Edwards's POV---------

"Katherine Faünce...." I said looking at the files Mustang had passed to me on his desk. Strangely there was no picture or description on the pages.
"Yes she's been causing trouble with the state for a while now... She's been working on weaponry advancements, including for her own body..."
"So she's messing with the boundaries huh..." I said my eyes narrowed, and my arms crossed.
"Yes. Her family has some history as state alchemists but she doesn't want a part of it. I'd like you to bring her here."
"And is there anymore information you can give us???" I asked, the info in the files was pretty vague and didn't give much description.
Mustang shook his head. "Sorry no not much is know about her, I trust your instincts to be able to find this girl. She has automail just like you Elric, she shouldn't be to hard to find."
I sighed, "fine let's go Al..." I said standing up and walking out, "oh and Elric."
"What?"
"There's one thing I want to tell you, don't get cocky with her about her hight... She is even shorter then you are, but most likely stronger. Don't be short tempered with her like a pipsqueak."
"WHAT WHO ARE YOU CALLING A HALF PINT TINY PIPSQUEAK WHO COULD FIT INSIDE A BIRD HOUSE!!!!!????!!!!" I cried but Al held me back. "IM STILL GROWING YOU DIPWAD!!!!"
Mustang laughed as we left Al dragging me behind him.

------Katherine's POV------

I sighed waking up on the floor of the small, cramped and dirty room she lived in, It was in the cellar of a building in the "black market" part of town. The shop above me sold weapons armor and other more, strange things.
Sighing I stood up of the dirty floor stretching I yawned walking over to a cracked old mirror, I sighed staring into the mirror at my red hair, which was boy short on the left side for the most part, on the right side my hair was pulled over my shoulder in a raccoon tail style. I grabbed an old brush giving my hair a quick brush I changed out of the rags I had slept in last light and into my usual attire. Which consisted of a black tank top, a black leather jacket, and a pair of old torn jeans and black combat boots.
I smirked and my turquoise green eyes gleamed.
I looked at my hands. Both of my arms were automail, and it was my brother's fault.
I had welded an alchemy sign into the back of my hands so I could use alchemy easily. I grabbed my white gloves putting them on, they covered the exposed metal rather well.
I had bleached my bangs when I was little, and now the white/red bangs fell over my eyes, I pushed them back to the right of my head. It annoyed me how they fell into my eyes but I ignored it. I walked out of the cellar, listening closely to see if anyone was outside. There were two pistols on my belt, I had made the guns myself.
My eyes narrowed as I listened closely.
I could here two muffled voices outside.
"So brother, do you really think we'll find her down here...." One of them said, he sounded like a child.
I smirked as I detected a sense of fear in the kids voice.
'Looks like I won't just walk around empty handed today.....' I thought to myself, putting a hand on the hatch to the cellar, the wooden door hatch made her cover even better. I stayed quiet listening to their voices, judging by my hearing alone I could tell there was just two of them.
'I have to be careful... I don't know who I'm dealing with just yet....'
I felt a pang of curiosity, and then an idea popped in my brain.
"Yeah, that guy in the shop said she lives down here, but the guy could have been more specific, I can just hear Mustang's sarcastic comment when we come back empty handed..." I heard a sigh coming from the 'brother'.
My grip on the door tightened. 'Mustang, so these idiots are state alchemists!'
My eyes were wide and I flinched.
'Crap so they've finally found me huh... Guess this won't be so easy after all. But if I play my cards right... '
I thought preparing to move out the door silently. Every nerve in my body was telling me to get the hell out of there. But I stayed still.
"So the state is even hiring children now huh....." I mumbled silently to myself, I heard a soft clanking noise and one of them soft. Damn his footsteps were noisy, he couldn't walk past a sleeping mouse without waking it if he tried...
His brother stopped as well. "Al why did you stop, you see something?" He asked.
'So the giant tin can's name is Al, what kind of retarded name is that?!'
"I thought I heard something...." Al said, I could almost feel him gazing down at the hatch.
'Damn it I need to do something....'
"You're just being paranoid," Said the older brother.
I heard the sound of Al shaking his head, and he spoke again.
"No Ed there's someone down there."
"Think it could be her?" "Ed" asked, "I don't know, but I have a hunch." Al said, I felt his metal footsteps clank towards the cellar.
'Sh*t!'

------3rd person POV--------

'Sh*t!' Katherine thought, her heart racing.
Edward walked up to the hatch, the entrance to the cellar.
Ed lifted up the hatch, a flash hit them both in the eyes as Katherine used her alchemy, forming a barrier made of stone under the lid, making it impossible for entry.

((Sorry I suck at 3rd person....))

----Edward's POV-----

I rubbed my eyes, "damn it..."
A black flash went past me, It was a person. "Wait!" I called, I raced after her Al following close behind.
I skidded to a halt, a girl was a few meters in front of us, in the darkness I could hardly see her.
"Excuse me please don't run away miss!" Al said, the girl turned seeing him she took a step back, there were two paths for her to run,
Each led back here eventually.
I stood taking a few steps forward. "We're searching for someone. I'm a state alchemists we won't hurt you we promise, we just want to talk." I said looking at her, there was a certain scorn in her eyes and overall distrust.
"I'm Edward this is my younger brother Al."
"Yeah you think I don't know that? Besides shouldn't it be the other way around?" She asked scornfully.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A HALF PINT TINY PIPSQUEAK!!!"

I yelled storming over to her, we stood a few inches away from each other, a sudden anger flared in her eyes.
"BESIDES YOU HAVE NO ROOM TO TALK YOU SHORTER THEN ME DAMNIT!!!!"
"SHUT UP IM STILL GROWING!!!"
"YOU'RE LIKE 18 YOU SHOULD HAVE STOPPED GROWING BY NOW!!!"
"IM F*CKING 16 FOR YOUR INFORMATION YOU IGNORANT BASTARD!!!"
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU ANYWAY!?!?!?!"
"SOMEONE WHO DOESNT HAVE A GIANT F*CKING TRASH CAN FOR A BROTHER!"

"T-trash can....." Al said, hurt.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT AL!?!?!!!! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT HIM LIKE THAT!!! AT LEAST HES NOT SOME CHICK SACED TO HELL OF US FOR SOME REASON!!!! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING IN A CELLER ANYWAY?!!!"
Her eyes darkened, she lunged at me, and I saw a flash of metal. I blocked using my right arm.
Turning my metal arm to a blade. We both stood a few feet from each other. I stared up and down her body.
'Her arms....'

-----Katherine's POV-----
'His arm....'
"YOU HAVE AUTOMAIL???!!!!" I said shocked.
"WAIT SO YOU'RE THE GIRL WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE LOOKING FOR, YOU'RE KATHERINE FAÜNCE THE JET ALCHEMIST!!!!"
