First try on a horror-fic. My friend and I watched a little too much horror lately-.-' It is a little lame, and maybe not so much horror as I want it to be. . .

I'm sorry if the grammar is horrible and the characters are very OOC.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

Chapter 1

No Way Back

Edward didn't know what to do. He really didn't want to go to the north. Automail and snow didn't go that good together, and he had just got a great lead for the Philosopher's Stone, so why was he being dragged all the way up north? They hadn't even told him what they were going to do so far north.

At the moment, he sat in the backseats of a car filled with stuff they needed for the trip. Beside him sat Alphonse – the armor took up much space, but it was still enough for three persons in there - and Winry; the girl had been invited just in case Edward's automail didn't work well with the cold weather. In the front where Hawkeye and Mustang, talking like it was all normal to take trip this far north.

The snow pushed itself against the window, making it hard to see the road in front of them. It was already dark outside, and the snow just made it even worse.

The sound of an angry wind was the only thing that could be heard inside the car, and the three teenagers found themselves hoping they soon would be down from the mountain they had to drive over to get to the nearest city.

Over the wireless could they hear news of a snowstorm making its way through the mountains, the same one that they were in.

"How long before it would hit us?" Mustang asked Hawkeye. The woman kept her eyes on the road as she answered.

"Not long at all. We better hurry up if we want to reach the city before it comes here," she said calmly. They sat in silence for a while as the car took them even longer ahead of their journey.

Then, the car stopped.

Hawkeye frowned while she tried to get it to start again.

The cold temperature from the outside started to make its way into the car, making clouds out of their breaths.

All of a sudden, someone knocked on the window beside Mustang. The Colonel opened the door, and found Hughes standing right outside of it.

"I see you have problems with the car as well," he pointed out after seeing Hawkeye's irritated mind.

So both the cars had gotten problems? Maybe they were out of gas?

"There's a house about two minutes away from the road right behind us. You think we could stay there 'till the snowstorm has passed and there's daylight again?"

Mustang thought it over for some seconds. It would be better to be inside then out in the cold, and the cars were soon just as cold as the outside anyway.

"Let's check it out. Hughes, go and get the others from your car," Mustang told the other man before he left the car.

Hawkeye followed him closely, and waved for the teens to come out as well.

Winry opened the door on her side, and went outside of the car. Edward and Alphonse followed her shortly, making sure to close the doors after them.

Everyone took one bag each, leaving only some of the less needed stuff behind in the car before they walked toward a house they could see right next to the road. Had it been longer away than it was, would they never had seen it.

Edward knew something was wrong in the moment they stepped close to the house and knocked on the door.

Something just seemed off about it.

They stood there for some minutes as they waited for someone to open the door.

When this didn't happen, Mustang opened the door carefully.

The inside of the house were completely black. Not one light shined anywhere.

Mustang snapped his fingers together, and a small flame lighted up the room.

The room they had gotten into, was what they guessed had been the living-room – it was pretty obvious that the house where abandoned – because of the couch and the fireplace.

"Should we stay here tonight? There's no point in going back to the cars," Havoc said as he, Hughes, Breda, Falman and Fuery came up to them.

"It's better than sleeping outside," the Colonel said and walked into the house. The others followed him, most of them seemed happy about getting away from the cold, but Edward couldn't shake away the feeling of that it probably was safer to sleep outside.
