Chapter 3
Winry's POV
Al helped us move Edward to one of the guest rooms. Al laid him down in the bed.
I came up behind Al and covered Ed in the bed sheets. I also draped an extra blanket over his shivering body.
"Is he cold?" Al asked confused.
"Yes. He lost a lot of blood which was maintaining his body temperature. But since that blood's gone now, he has nothing to keep him warm. And your run through the rain didn't exactly help his condition."
"Winry, Al." Granny walked in. "We need to talk."

We sat at the kitchen table as Al told us what happened.
"So you don't have a body?"
Al removed his helmet to show that there was nothing inside.
Al's not there. I heard Al's voice tremble as if he was crying when he was talking to us.
"We didn't mean for this to happen." Al cried.
"It's alright." Granny comforted. "Edward's safe, down the hall. And you're both alive. You should be thankful." She pulled the giant armored boy into a loving hug.

Al stayed in Edward's room for hours. He never left Edward's side.
I walked in with new gauze and bandages. Gran had ordered me to change Edward's bandages. She told me that his wounds would've already clotted and began healing by now. I removed the sheets, but keep a blanket wrapped around his upper torso as I wrapped his leg. He continued a shivering sleep as I wrapped his leg.
Al turned him around and I bandaged his shoulder.
I yawned.
"Thank you, Winry."
I smiled at Al, the suit of armor. "It's not a problem." I assured. "Come on, you need to get out of this room. Leave Edward alone, so he can heal faster. Granny is fixing some late dinner."
"Thank you, but I'm not hungry. I'll just stay here."
"But sleep, aren't you tired?"
"No. I'm not tired."
"Okay." I shrugged as I walked out of the room. "See you in the morning Al. Please tell us if something happens. Granny will be in here to reapply his bandages at three in the morning."
"Winry…"
"Yes?"
"Thank you, again."
I smiled at him. "Good night, Al."
