Hello there! This just so happens to be my first fic posted here, though i've been a member for forever. My computer just never could get my stories up onto the internet. This is a winry fic, not quite sure where it'll be going, or if it'll be just a oneshot. Well, carry on.

And by the way, i don't and never will own Fullmetal Alchemist. Like I could ever be that creative...

I awoke to the sound of the telephone in the kitchen. The house was so empty now…it echoed through the silent halls, the vacant rooms, the closed lives. My bleary eyes were just as vacant - empty of both tears and life. Why? How could they leave me? Leave me to a life of no more warm hugs, no more gentle laughter, no more love-filled gazes of light and happiness. I was so alone now. Without the twin lights of my parents, the darkness would creep in, the terrible darkness of which I was so terrified.

The phone continued to ring. After hugging my pillow for a moment longer, I managed to drag myself off of the floor in the living room where I had fallen asleep after the funeral to the impatient phone.

"Hello?" I managed in a slightly cracked voice.

I winced at the sound.

"Is that you Winry? You sound awful, dear."
A hint of a smile found its way onto my lips; a ray of sunlight.

"Auntie Panako," came my murmured sigh of relief. I slipped to the floor, cradling the receiver in my hands.
"Are you all right Winry? Winry, answer me!"
Tear welled in my eyes again, even when I thought I could cry no more."No Auntie," I choked into the phone, my throat painfully tight as I suppressed the urge to fall back into the darkness of depression and grief. "No I'm not."

There was a sigh from the other end.

"Winry, I'm going over there to get you. You shouldn't be alone. We'll take care of you, don't you worry."
Tears spilt over each check at the sound of love in her voice. "Oh Auntie…"
"We'll be over soon."
I gave a hiccupped sniffle and nodded. "Okay."The phone began to beep at me, signifying that she'd hung up. Without hanging it up, I curled my knees up to my chin and sobbed.

Well? How did you like it? Please review and tell me!
