Envy: But…
Areku: You don't know this authors power!
Ed was lying in the bed still. Roy hadn't let him go. Roy did not have one single speck of trust towards Edward. Al, against Roy's wishes, had given Ed a blanket. Ed was still rather cold. He was basically in a blanket of his own sweat. It didn't feel that nice.
Ed started to think back on what had happened that day. All the bad things he had done. Or had been forced to do. He felt awful, and he wanted to hide in a dark corner for the rest of his damn life.
He hated everything. He hated Roy, for everything he had done and the things he had made even worse for Ed. He hated Al, for pretending to hate him, and not sticking up for him to there father. He hated his father for hating him, just because of the way he was. He hated Envy for not coming to save him. He hated Greed and Envy's relatives for taking Envy away from him. Mostly he hated himself. Edward had let all this happen. He had just sat back and let all this happen to him. He didn't fight it. He just let it all happen.
Edward started to cry as he realized it. Roy burst in to the room as Ed burst into tears.
'Well, why are you crying, little Edward?' Roy asked in a mocking voice. Edward made a face towards Roy. 'What, you won't answer me?'
Ed just turned his head away. He hated Roy. He didn't want to see Roy. He was tired of being Roy's little toy. Roy loved to torture Ed, so he was going to make this tough for Ed.
'Look at me!' Roy spat at Ed. Ed kept staring at the wall. 'LOOK AT ME!' Roy barked like the dog he was. Ed refused to look and this was really biting at Roy.
Roy decided to walk into Ed's gaze. Ed figured out what Roy was trying to do and turned his head away. Roy was getting very mad at this small blonde. Roy slapped the back of Ed's head.
'When I tell you to do something, you do it!' Ed could hear the rage in Roy's voice.
'No.' That was all Ed would say.
'LOOK AT ME!' Roy was getting ready to punch Ed.
'I don't have to listen to you.' Ed was purposely trying to annoy Roy. 'I can make my own decisions.'
Roy brought his fist down on Edward's shoulder. He had three rings on to make the pain more real. Ed was getting used to the pain, so Roy had to make it more real for Ed. More hurting, that's what Roy liked.
'I think, you should,' Roy was shaking with anger. 'Just. LISTEN TO ME! It's for your own good.'
'I don't care about my own good anymore. I just don't want to look at you.' Ed was thinking of giving up on life.
Roy got even more mad at Ed. He also felt jealousy. Ed could shut of himself. Ed didn't care what people did to him anymore. Roy cared. Roy wanted to be the centre of attention. He wanted to be noticed. He hated being left out, or not heard. Ed was not hearing Roy, and Roy hated this.
Winry moaned. The impacted had shot their car two feet in the air. It had landed in someone's yard. She tried to move. Winry was stuck. He leg was pinned under the driver's wheel. Winry reached for her cell phone, they needed help. When she dialled the emergency number the police and an ambulance was already there. Someone else had called for help.
Winry looked over at Riza. Her eyes grew wide and her mouth opened in a scream. Riza had blood flowing down her face. It was not a pleasant sight. Riza wasn't moving either. Was she dead? That was the thought that wouldn't show itself in Winry's mind. She knew it was there though. She was scared to look back and see if Envy was ok. She dared to peek back in his direction. He wasn't moving and it looked like he wasn't breathing.
'WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN TO ME?' Winry screamed. She didn't want to be the only one that lived. She was the driver and she was alive. Only her leg was injured. Why did she have to hurt two other people. They were possibly dead and she was definitely alive.
Winry was crying really hard when a police officer came up beside her window. 'We'll get you out.' He was trying to calm her down. Nothing would get Winry to calm down right now.
Roy had gone downstairs to talk to Al. He was in a blind rage. Roy sat down beside Al. He tried to stay calm. He wrapped his hands together. It wasn't working. Roy got up and threw the lamp beside him at the wall.
'DAMN ED!' Roy started yelling. He was uncontrollable. Roy didn't know where he was of what he was doing. It was just happening.
Al was getting scared. He tackled Roy to the ground. This set Roy off and he threw the smaller body at the wall. Al got up slowly and went to talk to Ed.
'What did you say to him?' Al screamed. Al was scared of Roy.
'I don't care about my own good anymore. I just don't want to look at you.' Ed repeated himself. He liked the sound of those two sentences.
'Why would you say something like that to Roy!' Al was yelling now.
'Because I don't care anymore. I don't care if he kills me. I don't care what he does to me! I JUST DON'T CARE!' Ed was about to cry. He didn't want to talk to his little brother.
Al start out screamed. He screamed so loud Ed thought his ears would burst.
Winry looked over at Riza. Her beautiful face was covered in a coat of her own blood. She was dieing next to Winry. The police whoever the others were, they had gotten them all out of the car. They had announced Riza to be alive. The only thing was she was dieing slowly. Riza was losing too much blood. They needed someone to give her blood. Winry was a match to Riza. She wanted to give Riza blood. The doctor said Winry too had lost a lot of blood. If she gave any to Riza she would die.
They had gotten Envy out with a lot of trouble. They had announced him dead but they were trying to revive him anyway.
'I WANT TO GIVE RIZA MY BLOOD!' Winry was fighting with the doctor. 'I LOVE HER!'
'You'll die.' The doctor tried to calm her down. 'You don't have enough blood right now.
'I want Riza to live! I don't want her to die.' Winry was crying.
'She will life. Just let us take you both to the hospital.' The doctor was putting her in a ambulance.
'But I want to give her MY blood.' Winry didn't want to lose to sight of Riza's face.
He pushed her the rest of the way in the ambulance. 'I'm sorry but you can't do that.'
Winry gave up the struggle. She didn't like the look on the doctors old face. He looked really cold. Like he didn't even care. She guessed he had seen this a lot. He was used to it. He didn't care if they struggled anymore.
'WE GOT A HEARTBEAT!' Winry heard the other doctors say. They were working hard on Envy. They put him in the ambulance and sped away.
Ed screamed at Al. He wanted Al to stop yelling and screaming. Al was having a fit. Ed was struggling enough on the bed that his right wrist broke free. He instantly went to untying he left wrist.
Al didn't notice this and ran out of the room. Al didn't want to deal with Ed anymore.
Ed had his ankles free pretty fast. This was getting too easy. He jumped off the bed and scavenged for his pants. He found them under the bed. He groped under the bed for his shirt too. He found it. He threw on his newly found clothes. He had missed there defence. They held him in and kept everything else out.
'Now a way to get out.' Ed thought to himself. He didn't dare speak out loud. He stuck his head out the window. This was the second floor. Was he crazy? Or desperate?
He decided against the window and snuck to the bathroom. It was just down the hall. When he was safely locked inside the bathroom he looked around himself. He needed a way out. He didn't have much time. At least he had more time in the bathroom then he would inside a bedroom.
He was struck with a pain in his heart. The bathroom was were this had started. The bathroom in the school. This hurt being inside Roy's bathroom. He looked around himself some more. He remembered the bush under the bathroom window. He was small enough to fit too.
Was he crazy? He figured he was. He had propped the window open. He was ready to jump out. The closed his eyes and started to count down from five. When he got to one, someone pounded on the door. Ed's eyes opened wide.
'I've been found out!' That was the only thing going through his mind.
Winry had been let out of the hospital. She had broken her leg and had three stitches in her forehead. They had ended up taking a little of her blood to give to Riza. This made Winry really happy. She hobbled on her crutches toward Riza's room. Riza was asleep. She was fine.
Riza had thirty stitches in he head. They had had to shave her head to put in the stitches. Winry smiled as she imagined the look that would be on Riza's face when she say the bald spot. She would freak out and yell at many people.
Winry walked into the room and placed a kiss on Riza's hand. She didn't want to pain Riza's forehead. The soft breath coming from Riza made Winry smile. This was good for her. The rest was long needed for Riza. The thing is, the last month Riza had been working to hard. Her boss was making Riza stay for 12 hour shifts. Riza didn't mind this, she adored her work almost as much as she adored Winry.
A giggle escaped Winry's lips. She was happy to have Riza. A hard working, loving, beautiful woman. Winry didn't feel happy without Riza. She needed Riza. This, Winry thought, was necessary for her life. It was absolutely necessary for Winry to have Riza. Riza let out a small sigh in her sleep. Winry smiled. Riza was going to live. Winry hadn't killed her! This was one of the best moments of Winry's life. Or at least one of the best moments of that week.
Winry was suddenly struck with a picture of the non moving Envy in her mind. Was he ok? Would he live? Winry slowly forced her body to stand up straight. It was a bad idea to bend over Riza. Winry's body was tired. It wasn't ready for this kind of treatment. She was already beating down on her injured body and it had only been half an hour. Well, half an hour since they had finished fixing up her body.
She found her way to Envy's room. The door was closed and she heard doctors yelling. They had revived him four times. Every time he was gone around fifteen minutes later. They were starting to lose hope. They figured he just wanted to die. Winry stood outside the door and started to cry.
The doctors didn't know that Envy's heart was fighting them. It wanted to die. It didn't want to live life anymore.
One thing was letting him revive though. Ed. Ed was on Envy's mind and in his heart. He knew he had to somehow get to Ed and save him. This hurt Envy. He was struggling with the hope to save Ed and wanting to just die.
Envy's heart heard Winry crying outside the door. He couldn't let her hold the guilt of having killed him. She had been trying to help him out. All she had done was hurt him. She had almost killed him.
Envy was getting to soft to let her hold that guilt. Ed had already changed Envy for the better. He was making Envy soft. He was making Envy care about others and himself. This was enough to convince his heart to let the doctors fully revive him. He wanted to save Ed and he didn't want Winry to hold that guilt.
When the doctors revived him they all waited at the edge of their seats. Waiting for him to go again. They were losing hope. They also gained hope every time they happened to revive Envy. Every doctor in the room was holding his or her own breath. They didn't dare let it escape as it might be enough to kill Envy again.
Winry felt a need to hold her breath too. She was outside the door of the room yet she felt the need to hold her breath in too. She wanted Envy to live. She didn't want to be the cause of his early death. He was to young. He hadn't experienced everything life had to offer. She was letting the guilt set in when a doctor burst out of the room laughing. He was laughing! His face was red from laughing.
Winry got really confused. Had the doctor gone mad from trying to revive Envy? Had he given up? She dared herself to look inside the room. Envy was sitting up in bed smiling. He was alive. Despite her broken leg, Winry got herself to run into the room and give Envy a big hug.
'Your killing me!' Envy joked. It freaked Winry out. That was not the kind of comment she needed to hear. Envy burst into a fit of laughter when he say Winry's wided eyed face. She looked so scared. She then let herself burst out in laughter.
They were laughing so hard they didn't notice one more person join the room. 'Am I missing something?' Riza asked.
They looked up in surprise and saw Riza's smiling face. Winry burst into tears. Riza was smiling. She was alive. She was standing in front of Winry.
Winry got up to hug Riza. Winry was so lost in love and happiness she forgot her crutches and fell on her face. Riza started to laugh. Envy was still gutting himself laughing.
'It hurts!' Envy managed to yell. He got into a coughing fit and Riza and Winry were laughing again.
Riza gave her hand to Winry. Winry managed to balance on her unharmed leg. She swallowed Riza in the biggest hug imaginable. 'This is one of the best days of my life.' Winry whispered into Riza's ear.
While Envy was laughing and having fun, Ed was still trying to escape. He was worried and freaking out. He had climbed back in the window because an old lady had stopped outside and was starring at him. He couldn't jump with her there. He might get hurt, and that would devastate her.
Roy broke down the door. He glared at Ed.
'HOW COULD YOU TRY TO ESCAPE?' Ed was surprised to hear Al yelling. It wasn't Roy. It was Al. What had gotten over Al? Why was he acting this way? Had he felt the power Roy felt from yelling?
Roy grabbed Ed by his hair. Ed got dragged all the way back down the hall to Roy's room. Roy and Al threw him on the bed. They quickly tied him up. Ed noticed the rope was stronger and they had tied it tighter then before.
'Try escaping now!' Al yelled.
'Why did you try to escape?' Roy asked more quietly then Al.
Ed was struggling already. He pushed and pulled in all directions. 'I wanted to get away from you two lunatics!'
'What did you call us?' Roy asked, his voice rising.
'Lunatics! CRAZY! INSANE! I hate you both!' Ed was testing them. He was seeing how far he could take them. Before one of them struck him again.
'No, you don't hate us, and we are not lunatics, crazy or insane.' (A/N: I have the urge to make him say 'The author is'…) Roy replied. He thought this would be a good answer. It wasn't good enough, he had to strike Ed. So, Roy punched Ed in the gut. Ed made a face.
Al went to rip Ed's clothes off. He ripped around the sleeve to get his shirt off. He sliced up the pant leg to get Ed's black leather pants off. His favourite pair too. Edward looked up at Al, pleading for him not to do this. He was trying to send Al signals with his eyes. It wasn't working. Al kept on ripping his shirt and slicing open Ed's pants. Al was using a pocket knife to open Ed's pants. The material was too thick to simply rip open. The knife slipped and cut into the flesh on Ed's right leg. Ed let out a silent cry.
Ed looked down at the pocket knife and remembered when he had given that knife to Al.
Flashback
It was Al's ninth birthday and Al had decided he wanted to be an outdoors man.
He had seen this one guy on television and instantly wanted to go camping ever weekend. He was always dragging Ed to the front door and telling him to wait as he got his tent and a plastic knife. Al always thought a good outdoorsman needed a good pocket knife.
Ed had picked a knife that had a wolf carved into it. It was the most beautiful one there. It had been carved by hand. The others had eagles and bears. But this one! Ed instantly knew Al would always use it.
When Al opened the present, he instantly went outside in there backyard and cut a branch off the blackberry bush. He brought it in a smiled at Ed. He was like a little kid that had discovered a great secret and was sharing it with everyone.
End Flashback
Ed had never thought that Al would be using the knife like this. Against him. He thought he would use it happily. Going camping with the family! Not against him! Not to hurt him!
Envy felt a jolt of pain in his right leg. He stopped the laughter of the other two with a cry of pain. They looked at him in concern. Envy suddenly remembered what they had been doing before.
'ED!' Envy looked distressed.
He wanted to go save Ed. He knew the doctors wouldn't let him go though. They had told him five days at the least for him to stay. Just in case he went into a coma as he slept. He had hit his head really hard. He had many stitches in his head, but unlike Riza, he didn't have his head shaved. He also had stitches all the way up his left leg. Envy would barely be able to walk. Envy hated the bandages around his chest. They rubbed against his skin and it felt weird. He had broken three ribs.
'You can't go, Envy.' Winry went to state the obvious.
'I have too!' Envy hated this. He knew Edward needed him.
