Disclaimer: Let's see, if I owned FMA, I would've found another way for the Elric brothers to get their original bodies back. Sadly, I don't own FMA, and I don't feel like getting sued because all I own is...nothing but candy canes!

A/n: After a bunch of people saying how it was confusing or something, I decided to rewrite it. So far, I got the first chapter only. You'll have to wait until after Christmas and New Year's to get the next chapter. I got rid of the name 'Flame', and the pairing is Roy/Winry but the story is all about them, okay people.

Chapter One

And Three Are Left

Edward Elric walked into the nursery with a tired look on his face. He stumbled over to the crib, where his little infant son was being to fuss. Sighing, the golden haired man lifted the young child up and softly began a lullaby to assure the child's sleep. He wasn't able to finish it as someone was knocking loudly on his door. The infant was lowered back into the crib with hiss eyes closed.

"Who is it? If it's a salesperson, be prepared for an ass kicking!" Ed grumbled as he walked over to the door. Laughter came from the other side, and the golden eyes that were Ed's narrowed as his hand went around the doorknob. He flung it open and was tackled by two three-year-old boys with brown hair and green eyes.

"Timothy and Thomas Elric, get off your uncle. He's had a rough day. Hey Ed," Alphonse Elric said to his older brother. Ed sighed as Al's wife, Nelly ushered the two boys to the guest rooms for their naps. "We came as soon as we could, and as you can see, it's about noon since you don't have any clocks around here." Ed sighed again and stood up, cracking his back during it.

"Thanks for coming to baby-sit. It was last minute, and I'll only be gone for three days at the most. Mustang is become more and more annoying since I helped that poor town in the west. I have to meet Havoc at the train station in thirty minutes," Ed said. Al had quit going on missions with his older brother when he married Nelly. He felt left out sometime whenever Ed refused to give out the details, but the feeling usually passed within the first couple of days.

"Ender won't be a problem. He's only seven months old, Ed. You forget that after raising twins for three years, you almost become immune to anything a child can throw at you!" Al said, nodding his head sharply. He looked into Ed's defeated and understood that the pain was still fresh and not willing to close.

Caitlyn Memory was once a State Alchemist alongside Ed, and she drove him crazy. They went on many missions together and were rising to become one of the strongest pairs in among the other alchemists. Everyone said that the two would get married, and they were all correct. Two years ago, Ed married Caitlyn under the trees in Resembool, and seven months ago, Ender Elric was born. Sadly, Edward was cursed with misfortune as some would say because Caitlyn was given a solo mission two months after Ender's birth that sent her two the feral deep south. She returned in a casket, and at Ed's request, was buried in Resembool near his own parents.

The door shook as someone was knocking on it loudly. Al went to answer, but as soon as the door was opened, he met a man armed with a military knife. He slashed Al across the neck, and the brown haired man fell back and was lying on the ground, dying before he realized what was happening. The last thing Al saw was the crazed look in the man's eyes and how they looked so similar to Caitlyn's.

Nelly screamed as Ed held her back with his own heart being tugged at by the sight. He learned to let himself become numb around death long ago. It helped later with the pain anyways. He knew who the man was and couldn't understand why he was attacking. While thinking this, Nelly escaped and was immediately killed by Michael Memory.

"Ed, you could've just stayed loyal to Mustang! Could've been his fucking lap dog! No! You led my beloved sister to her death! I'm going to kill every fucking bastard in your family, so you can't corrupt anyone else's sisters!" Michael shouted. The look in his eyes and how he trembled were the clears signs of drugs being used. The man had despised Edward since his sister because partners with the FullMetal Alchemist. He was a heavy drinker and suffered from depression. He was probably on something like the white stuff Ed couldn't remember at that exact moment. He was too busy blocking the knife with his arm blade. It was his only weapon besides alchemy, and he didn't want to resort to that because that would mean Michael's death.

"Michael, I didn't send her on the mission! I begged her not to go!" Ed shouted as he blocked a blow to his head. Michael roared and drew a second knife. Ed knew it was too late to save Michael from anything, so he clapped his hands together as the knives were lodged into both of his lungs. He pressed his hands against Michael's chest and turned his brother-in-law into a human bomb. Blood and organ splattered the walls and furniture around him. Ed gave up on breathing and collapsed in a puddle of someone's blood. He felt light now and gave up completely. Nothing was going to right him from his paradise now.

Roy Mustang was the first to arrive at the Elric home, and police officers and paramedics followed him. He walked into the home and looked at the gruesome sight. Winry Rockbell was crying her eyes out on the ground. She was bringing up yellow bile from her stomach from the sight. Roy had to swallow down the sour vomit, as he was about to go see if anyone was alive. Everything about the scene brought so many horrible memories back that he was frozen to his spot. The war flashed through his eye as well as the Rockbells' death that he was ordered to commit. The sour bile was brought up and not forced back down. It was too painful to understand who or what killed the family.

A child's cry brought Mustang back to Earth. He looked across the room at a toddler who was crying into his forearm. The brown hair on top was identical to Al's, so the boy was either Thomas or Timothy. He was about to rush over to his fallen parents when Winry picked him up. Roy didn't know how she managed to escape his line of vision, but he was thankful for the little rescue.

"Timmy, where's Tommy and Ender? Are they still asleep?" Winry asked gently and softly. Timmy nodded slowly and looked at his parents on the floor as if they would magically pop up. "They're sleeping with angels, Timmy. The angels are keeping them safe and sound." Roy knew Winry's act was about to break, so he walked over and picked the boy up.

"Timmy, let's get Ender and Tommy, so we can go up to Winry's house. I bet Winry has hot chocolate," Roy said, masking his fear and sickness with false cheerfulness. It worked on the little boy, who jumped out of Roy's arm to tell his twin. A child with a short attention span forgot the angels and blood. "Take them out the back. You don't want them to see this again. I'll smooth things over with the police and be up once this is through, okay?" Winry was getting use to Mustang's visits. The man with the eye path over one eye visited her often after Aunt Pinako passed away two years ago. Winry could never figure him out because he would come up with something random each time as if to throw her off.

Roy sat at the table in Winry's dining room. With the two of them, they managed to get Timmy and Tommy asleep within twenty minutes. Ender was asleep when Roy arrived after about an hour of talking with the officers. He was going to call Central and ask to be moved to Resembool, and he'd probably get it since he was a General and could come to Central whenever they needed him.

"Roy, what are we going to do? They have nowhere to go! Tom and Tim have no grandparents on either side of their family, and Caitlyn's parents disappeared years ago. I feel so lost, and now with Ed and Al gone, I lost the remainder of my family that was always there for me! All I have left are three little boys that don't understand death, and I feel empty, wasted," Winry cried. She had her face buried in her hands as she shouted and cried. Roy blinked away his own tears and knew he had to comfort her. He pulled her off her chair and onto his lap to give her his shoulder to cry on. She clung to him like a life support that Ed or Al was to her when they were younger. She had become Ed's support after Caitlyn, and now, Roy was her support after the Elrics.

Winry didn't care that he was holding her. All that went through her mind were that Ed, Al, and Nelly were gone forever and their children had nowhere to go. She'd take care of them, and maybe Roy would help her for a while. He was that type of person, and she knew it was her favorite part of him. He wouldn't abandon her or the Elric children whenever something like this happened. For that moment they were at, it was just enough for Winry Rockbell to be in Mustang's arm and crying it out.

A/n: Wow. I'll repeat that I hate killing Ed, and I will accept constructive criticism. This is a rewrite, and if this goes good, I think I'll be rewriting all my fanfictions. Well peeps, it was around eleven when I finished this rewrite, and I'm tired. See Ya – Lady Kagome0101
