Going insane
When Winry awoke, she was in a strange place… a hospital? No, there was no beeping at the heart monitor. But, this place was white, very white.
"Oh, you're awake dear." A lady said with a smile.
"W-Where am I-I…" Winry said trying to get as far away from this lady as possible without falling off the bed.
"It's okay, you're in safe hands. We're here too help you. You needn't be afraid of us.
"U-Uh…" Winry started, then, the thought hit her. "Where is Edward?!" Winry shouted putting a stern holt to her stuttering.
"Dear, please calm down. Who is Edward? Is he important too you? Did he come here with you?" The lady asked calmly.
'Here? Where is here?' Winry thought. "Where is here?" she asked.
"You're at a mental facility for youths. Do you not remember why they sent you here?" The lady asked.
"No… why was I sent here? And then you can tell me where the hell you put Edward." Winry said glaring.
"Dear, watch your language here. And you're here because of un-stable family situations. And if you tell me the full name of this Edward character I may be able to find him if he's under our records." The lady said now a slightly- very slightly annoyed tint in her tone.
"My family conditions were stable because I had Edward. And his name is Edward Elric. He has a younger brother named Alphonse Elric." Winry said.
"Okay, let me go see what I can do, you just need to stay here." T he lady said getting up. Winry merely nodded.
'What have I gotten myself into. More or less, Is Edward okay? I just want to thank him and say sorry…' Winry thought. Every words scratching at her heart, threatening to break it.
"I guess I'll atleast look at the loons I'm dealing with." Winry pouted to herself.
She got off the bed and started to walk around until she found another bed with someone occupying it.
"Hello, what's your name? I'm Winry." Winry said with a smile as she held out her hand for the little boy to shake it.
"I don't need any of your damned help. I just wanna go home. I don't deserve to be here because of my stupid family." The boy sai coldly.
"Actually I was just brought here because I supposedly have un-stable family conditions. Were you taken away from someone important too?" Winry asked.
"Yeah, my sister. I'm Luke." The boy named Luke stated.
"They took me away from my friend who always looked out for me. And now they may even send him to prison because he was trying to protect me…" Winry started to tear up.
"Really? What happened? Did he do something illegal to protect you?" Luke asked.
"No, my parents are just dirty liars who will do anything to stay out of trouble." Winry said in an angry twinge.
"My parents were theifs and they got caught so the child protective services took me away from my sister and brought me here. My sister is being relocated to a home. I'm staying here because I'm 'un-stable'." Luke said looking at his feet.
"You seem like a very kind yet misunderstood young man. Don't worry. Edward will come for me, and when he does, I'll be taking you away from here and reunite you with your sister." Winry promised.
"Your friend will come and save us? I can go back to my sister? Thank you!" Luke exclaimed, hugging Winry very tightly.
"Yes, he will come I know it. And then you will come with us to where your sister is." Winry said with a smile.
"Are you going to stay at the home? Your parents won't be able to stay with you." Luke stated.
"Yea… that's true, I can't go back to them. But, I also don't feel like leaving that town. I'll figure something out." Winrry said deep in thought.
"Ms. Winry? Where are you?" The lady from before asked.
"Looks like she found me…" Winry said walking towards the lady.
Luke smiled to her back 'thank you'
"Yes? Did you find Edward?" Winry asked.
"Yes, he actually came here a few years ago and broke out, since then we haven't been able to get him back, but he's being sent here today. Thank you very deeply for bringing this to our attention so we can save his troubled mind." The lady said.
Those words infuriated Winry so much she could hardly stand. "He has a much better soul… a much better heart! Than any of you people! You claim you're trying to help us! We don't need your fucking charity! We don't need pity! You don't care! The only people who care about us are each other! You people are taking us away from the people we love the only people we have ever cared about! I don't want to be here! I-I-I just want Edward with me…" Winry began to sob.
"Ms. Winry, please get some rest, we'll wake you when Edward gets here." The lady said and she walked away from a sobbing Winry on the floor.
"Winry! Are you okay?!" Luke ran over to Winry's shaking form.
"Y-Yes, I-I'll be fine, Luke. I just need rest. Hopefully when I wake I will e able to see Ed again. And then we'll get the hell out of this place." Winry said walking Luke over to his bed as he fell asleep with a smile on his face. She went over to her own bed and slept. She slept without a dream to speak of.
She awoke to a nurse shaking her.
"Ms. Winry Edward is waiting in the guest room." The lady said. To those words, Winry juped out of bed and ran. Then she remembered.
"Luke! Come on! Edwards here, he's come to take us back!" Winry yelled as a short boy came running to meet her.
She grasped his hand and then left through the doors to the waiting room, where they're ticket to freedom awaited.
When she opened the door, she swore that she might have been going insane.
