Author's note: Hey! Welcome to my newest Fanfiction! It is about the totally awesome anime Full Metal Alchemist! Basically I was trying to go for a romantic sad setting but you'll get the picture a few seconds… Well it is in Winry's POV for awhile then it switches over to 3rd person POV. Just read and see what I mean!
Disclaimer: I don't own FMA, but if I did…. Ed and Winry would soooo be mine!
Summary: After two years Winry still is upset about the missing Elric. She knows he out there somewhere and that Al is working very hard to help with the difficult time. Winry sits down and begins to let her feelings out in a letter addressed to Ed, but unfortunatly he won't be there to recieve it...
Dear Edward Elric,
You… You always told me you had no home to come home to… You always told me that you didn't have a family any more except for him. You said so many things to me that weren't true; you lied to yourself about life, maybe… maybe you just couldn't face reality and used it as an excuse to put more pressure on yourself. I know deep down inside you knew that you lied, that you said these things to keep you going, but what you truly failed to realize was that in the process you weren't hurting only yourself but… me as well.
Ed… you knew as well as I that you had a family or maybe you really didn't know… Sometimes it is so hard to read your feelings. Your head is truly as thick as a brick wall, once you believe in something nothing can change your mind and I guess that is why I never will give up. That is why I love you, and that is why Al and I won't stop.
I sat at home, staring out the rain pelted window. I waited for you to return. I knew you had a job to fulfill, but I guess I just thought you would give up on this whole thing… Al and you would finally come home to me and Granny, I guess you could call me selfish, but I had my reasons. Everyone has reasons for the things they do… whether it be for a good or bad cause. You two were the only family I had besides Granny and Den, but their years were beginning to come to an end. I would be left all by myself… I was scared yet proud. I knew both of you were doing this for a good reason, but I didn't want to loose you both…
When that day finally came I couldn't understand what was going on. They told Granny and I that Al was found, but you were gone… no where to be found. It was then I finally realized the only cure for your punishment was for you to give your life… to save Al. I cried… I really couldn't tell if I was crying because you were gone or because I was so proud that you would give your life for someone else. I know you aren't dead, but I can't help feeling that you might never come back. You have done so much Ed, you can't just disappear like that, you have to still be out there… somewhere.
I will wait for the day when you come back… if that is to ever come, but I know one thing for sure… I will see you again somehow. Al is searching now for a way to bring you back. I told him it was stupid and he should just stay home, but I couldn't change his mind… He has every right to do what he wants anyway. Maybe half of me wanted him to go and try to find someway to bring you back, but I didn't want to see him get hurt…
What am I supposed to do… without you? You were truly my best friend as well as Al… I can't afford to loose him too… Ed?
…Love,
Winry
"Ed…" Winry whispered under her breath. She lifted her hand from the paper and pulled a piece of her silky blonde hair behind her ear. A tear slowly dripped down her face and landed on the parchment creating a smudge in the bottom left corner.
Lightning flashed outside illuminating the room even more than the lamp had that was sitting on the oak table next to her had. She listened, waiting for the cracking sound of thunder, but it was to far off in the distance to be heard. She let out a slight whimper while biting her lip in the process. Winry tried to hold back crying for a third time that day, but when Den walked over to her and licked her remaining hand, that had fallen limp off of the desk moments ago, she burst into a fit of tears. She knew she would be alone in a few years or so with Den and her Granny in their critical conditions.
With no Ed or Al around, her heart would simply… fall to pieces…
Author's note: Sorry for the short chapter, but hey, what do you want from me? The next chapters will certainly be much more lengthy, believe me I hate it when the chapters are too short… So what did you think? Too boring? Too sad? Read and Review… that's all I ask, oh and please resist flaming me unless you absolutely have too, k? Just to let you guys know this is and EdXWin story, but that really doesn't take affect until later chapters...
