~Ayame's P.O.V~

Ed, Al and I arrived in Dublith. "Well." Ed says. "What's our first step?" "uhh..." I look around. "No idea..." he rolls his eyes.

"Wait!" I say. "I've got it! We need to look through the case files. I looked briefly but I didn't get to see them all. Only the top page...." I look at the case in my hands.

I give the case to Ed. "Why are you giving me this?" he asks. "Because I am." I reply. "And im going to visit Izumi.."

"you're insane!" Ed says. "Perhaps." I reply. "But I'm going to see her anyway. Even if she kills me." he sweatdrops.

"It's your life..." he says. I hug him, and start walking in the direction of Izumi's house. "Be careful!" Ed calls after me. "I will!" I call behind me, waving. "See ya!" "Bye!" Al says.

I continued walking down the path that lead to the house, when suddenly I heard something. I look around.

"Hello, little girl." I hear behind me. I turn but there's nothing there. "You look lost." the voice says again. "On the contrary," I say, "I know exactly where I'm going." "you sure, princess?" it says.

"Yes." I say. "Now, stop hiding. Show yourself." "I can't do that." the voice says. "If i do, something bad will happen. Now come with me, little girl." "Who you calling 'little'?" I ask.

"Come with me, girl!" it says. "No!" I say. I start running. The thing catches up to me quickly though. I quickly transmute a wall. that should slow him down. I think. But I was wrong.

Soon, there is a dark aura around me. I feel my head start to spin. Come on Aya! I think. Come on! Damnmit! I can't see anything. Ed, Al..help me!

the darkness..its...I..can't..

~Time Skip.~

I wake up in a small stone room. I look around wearily. There were no doors. No windows. "Ahh! Miss Inoe you're awake!" says the same voice I heard before.

"Where am I?" I ask. "Don't worry. You're still in Dublith. Or should i say....under it?" the voice says. A man walks out from the shadows. He is whearing a white lab coat. He has red eyes, and black hair and beard. If i had to guess he would be in his....20's?

"Why am I here?" I ask. "That is for me to know and you to find out." the man says.

A/N: hey! Author-chan here!

You're probably wondering "who is this man?" "Why did he capture Ayame?" "will she survive?"

The answers will be in the next chapter!
