(Once again I apologize for the wait! This chapter will feature two songs. 3 They both remind me of Winrii's thoughts, and emotion, and found it hard to choose between the two. I just got done reading a different Winrii angst. What's up with the whole immediate thought of suicide? That's kind of out of character for Winrii … Anywho! I'm just rambling out my criticism. ,;; Sorry if it's not all that well ... I'm in a good mood o.o; the first song is Exodus Sung by Evanescence! Oh, and to answer Edo's question, this fanfic isn't supportive of the Elricest pairing. It's strictly on Winrii's disgruntled behavior towards it; therefore, it flames it. And, as for Edward and Winrii getting together, I wouldn't count on Winrii forgiving him so quickly, if not ever. It's possible, yet impossible. –Far from a fan of Elricest…- That pairing makes me sick, just wanted to make that crystal clear. X.x No offense to all you Incestual fans out there! Now, back let's get this chapter over with.))

My black backpack's stuffed with broken dreams
20 bucks should get me through the week
Never said a word of discontentment
Fought it a thousand times but now
I'm leaving home

I won't let myself be chased out of my own home; they're the one's that have to go. Optics locked to his body, observing his actions. Noticing his fist shiver from the pressure, she could image the small drips of crimson staining the interior of the glove. "There has to be a way, Winrii, for you to accept this, for you to … be exultant." Watching his teeth grind at the last words, it only made unpleasantly incapable of tolerating the pain in her abdomen. "It's either Al or me. You can't choose both. Not friendship-wise or … love-wise." Each word was struggled. "You can only have one of us! I don't know if I could stay… if I could stand, you being with someone who is your brother. And, to think, you're in love with a man … it's just …" Incapable of finishing her sentence, she stopped where she was, but continued after a moment's pause. "Unethical."

Here in the shadows
I'm safe
I'm free
I've nowhere else to go but
I cannot stay where I don't belong

'You can't expect me to answer that! You can't put that on me!"

"I just did!" Lips scowling deeply at him, vision avoiding his frame desperately, and the spark in her optics were long gone with confusion, and inflict. The expression had torn up the elder Elric. Fingers curl into a fist, but soon uncurled as she turned half-way. "Well?" She spoke venomously, causing Edward to wince; she never sounded the way she did right now.

"I-I can't."

"It's Alphonse, isn't it? If you had to choose it would be him." She spoke the last word with distaste. Jerking her vision to the floor, blood pumping heatedly in her veins, "It'll always be him,"

"I didn't say that!"

"You don't have to!" Whirling around, pony-tail slashing the air, she dashed out the door, not a single tear relinquished her tear ducts. She wouldn't give him that much credit. Fist clenched tightly, pressure increasing, resulting to her knuckles growing ghostly pale.

"Damnit, Winrii!"

Two months pass by and it's getting cold
I know I'm not lost
I am just alone
But I won't cry
I won't give up
I can't go back now
Waking up is knowing who you really are

Show me the shadow where true meaning lies
So much more dismay in empty eyes

(A/N: The second song is 'Farther Away' Sung by Evanescence.)

I could hear footsteps behind me; I could hear his yells for me to stop where I was. It was impossible at the moment. My legs wouldn't stop, I didn't want them to. Pumping them more, I managed to pick up more speed. It wasn't surprising that I was speedier then the Alchemist. Perhaps, for once, god was on her side. But, then again, God has a plan for everyone, if this was his way of punishing her, the Lord was one sadistic bastard.

I'm numb to you - numb and deaf and blind.
You give me all but the reason why.
I reach but I feel only air at night.
Not you, not love, just nothing.
I run to you,
(And run away from this hell)
Call out your name,
(Giving up, giving in)
I see you there,
(Still you are)
Farther away.

Winrii!

I hear him call my name, how I wanted to go back to him, but I knew it was anything but possible. What he had was unforgivable. Something that made it unattainable to return to this place; which was a reminder of what she had witnessed, maybe this was how they felt when Trisha passed. To think what the ever-so-sweet mother would've thought about what her son's were doing … it was imaginable. Also sad, it would be how any mother would react. Antipathy, obviously, what parent wouldn't? What did Alphonse have that I didn't? Damn you, Alphonse! I cursed in my mind. Damn you to hell, Edward! This thought was very uncharacteristic of me, but I was angry. Hateful, at that, not that I regret being that way.

Try to forget you,
But without you I feel nothing.
Don't leave me here, by myself.
I can't breathe.
I run to you,
(And run away from this hell)
Call out your name,
(Giving up, giving in)
I see you there,
(Still you are)
Farther away.

Damnit, Winrii, stop!

"Shut up, Edward!" I screamed back at him, being sure to show how spiteful I was toward him. "I don't want anything to do with you! You're just like Hohenheim!" I didn't regret those words. He was killing me like Hohenheim to Trisha. Only it was him who left. This time, it's me. Depressingly ill, Ihad to slow down, but I, thankfully, somehow managed to keep ahead. Optics drooping at the suffocating heat, I shook my head, to wear it off.

I run to you,
(And run away from this hell)
Call out your name,
(Giving up, giving in)
I see you there,
(Still you are)
Farther away.

Reaching the train station, I hurriedly paid and received a ticket. It didn't matter where, just needed to get out of here.

(I need four reviews to continue! xP If I don't get them, the story will be discontinued! Ja ne!))
