Chapter One-The Fight
"Edward, you're such a jerk!" The automail mechanic threw a wrench at the blond and he moved quickly, avoiding it, She stood up, seething before stomping away from the state alchemist. It was typical for him to stick his foot in his mouth but this time she was fed up with. She had plenty of customers here in Rush Valley that actually appreciated her talents. He just went around destroying her work and then complained that it was easy to break. All she wanted was for him to acknowledge that he needed her work and that when he wasn't swinging at things, it worked just fine. As she walked down the main street, she paused for a second to figure out where she was going. In her moment of anger, she really hadn't thought about where she was going. She just couldn't stay in the shop with Ed. He had always been able to infuriate her with little to no effort. Glancing up, she noticed the sky looked as though it could open up and drenched the whole town at any minute. Letting out a tired sigh, she headed for the mountains just out of town.
oOoOo
"Brother! Why would you say something like that?" Edward was getting really tired of everyone lecturing him.
"It's not my fault she's so sensitive. I didn't mean anything by it." In fact his automail was working fine, it just needed an adjustment.
"And I can't believe you didn't go after her. The least you could have done was apologize." The older Elric rolled his eyes.
"Why should I apologize? She's the one who stormed out over a joke. Frankly I should be mad since she assumes that I always break it." He rubbed his shoulder, knowing it was going to rain soon. Finally letting out an annoyed sound, and he hoped off the table he had been sitting on. "Fine, I'll go after her," he grumbled.
"So where would she go?" His amber gaze shifted to the owner of the shop.
"Well she mentioned something earlier about getting some Ore. So you might want to check the mountain path. She usually get's it from Dominick."
oOoOo
Sure enough Winry got caught in the rain. Finding a cave, she hurried inside before she got soaked. Rubbing her arms together, she got in several feet and had to stop due to a lack of light. She leaned against several large rocks that made up one of the walls of the cave. Lightning struck nearby causing her to wrap her arms around herself even more. Thunder followed shortly after. As she moved further into the darkness, her foot hit a rock and she fell forward. She landed hard on the rough ground. Trying to get back up, she let out a hiss when she tried to put any weight on her ankle. All she could manage was to sit up.
"Well this is just great."
