On to the story:
Chapter Seven: Rescued
"I just don't understand!" Ed yelled. It was now about Two in the morning and he looked about ready to pull his hair out. Al was slowly getting scared.
"Brother calm down." Al tried it results kinda backfired on poor Al.
"HOW THE H*** AM I SUPOSSED TO CALM THE H*** DOWN AL?!?" Ed yelled he was slowly loosing all signs of sanity.
"Now, listen Edward we know that you are worried about Winry, we all our but you have to calm down because yelling at us and or your brother is not going to help!" Riza said her voice shaking as she tried to control her anger. Ed sighed and gave Al a sympitatic look.
"I'm sorry Al." Ed muttred. Al patted him on the back.
"It's okay brother." he reasured. Ed shook his head.
"No, Al it's not. It's not okay." Ed muttered. Huges, Armstrong, Gracia, Roy, Riza, Al, and Ellie all looked at each other and then back at Ed worriedly. Ed shot up from where he was sitting. A determined look on his face. Al looked at him and stood up also.
"What is it brother?" Al asked.
"I...I know what they want." Ed muttered and ran out of the room.
"NI-SAN!" Al yelled and went after him. The rest of the people looked at each other confused before following the brothers through the town, into the hotel, and into the boys room where they saw ed looking at a pice of paper. Ed began to laugh.
"Bro-Bro-Brother?" Al asked looking at his older brother who was laughing madly while looking at the paper. Ed looked at the group of peopl all giving him weird looks and he gave an evil smile.
"They want to know the way to make the philosipher's stone but if we make a fake recipe they'll never know." Ed said triumphantly. "We can save Winry and keep the truth about the philosipher's stone's truth a secret."
All though everyone had thought Ed had completly lost it before he actually made alot of sense.
"Well what kinda of fake recipe?" Roy asked. He was quiet curious. Ed got another evil grin before taking off to who know's where.
O.o O.o O.o O.o O.o O.o O.o
About an hour later Ed had a, quiet belivable, fake recipe and an idea to where these 'people' were and where they had Winry.
"So where do we go from here?" Huges said in a serious tone. Armstrong was showing off his muscles to Riza, Gracia, and Ellie while Every one else was looking at a very descriptive map Ed had drawn.
"Well, if we start here in central," Ed said pointing to the little mark that said 'Central' "and if we take this route, we will make it there by maybe Three in the afternoon." Ed said drawing a trail on the map with a pencil and then looking at the clock that read 4:30a.m. They all, even Armstrong, looked at The young blonde boy in shock.
"How" Roy.
"In" Riza
"The" Huges
"World" Armstrong
"Did" Gracia
"You" Ellie
"Figure" Al
"That Out?" Everyone
Ed just shrugged and then gave them a grin.
"Let's go! We've got a certain blue-eyed, blonde-haired mechanic to save!" Ed said purpousfuly, rolled up the map and began to walk away.
O.o O.o O.o O.o O.o O.o O.o
Ed's POV:
We walked through the doors, which Al and I had transmulated into the sides of the strange biulding. Although it was infact only Three in the Afternoon it was extremly dark and Mustang had a small fire going, lighting our way. All of a sudden I heard foot strps and I motioned for everyone behind me to stop. All of a sudden a frightingly familiar form stepped out. Only one person looked like that. Envy. I walked out of the shadows, standing directly across from the much shorter, to my delite, human if that's even what I should call him.
"Envy." I spit out his name as if it was posion. The evil grin that I grew to hate spread across his face and a black mist began to swirl around his body until the same creature that had told me to give them what they wanted in order to same my Winry appeared, and began to laugh.
"You silly boy. Envy is dead of course now as you have figured out I can shape shift also so I guess I can't blame you for taking me for Envy." He said and began to laugh once again. I felt chilled to the bone but didn't let it show.
"Where. Is. Winry?" I aksed venom was in my words and a any smart person would probally be scared for life.
"Oh, don't worry your precious girlfriend is fine...well alive anyways." he siad and his luagh filled the room. That did it. I had the man against the wall with a sword I transmulated out of the metal wall up against his neck.
"Where is she you good for nothing lowlife?" I growled wanting to rip him apart piece by piece but knowing that if I did it would be harder to find Winry. All of a sudden I was looking in to the big, blue, frightened eyes that I loved so much.
"E-E-Ed what are you doing?" Came her familiar voice and even though I knew it wasn't her it was hard to keep the sword up agaist her neck.
"You're...You're not Winry!" I yelled at him or her or whatever but all I got was her worried look. A grin spread across my face.
"If you were Winry you would've hit me with that horrible wrench that she pulls out of thin air by now for not only threating her but not beliving her." I said and slowly the black mist surroned her before the same evil face that had showed up before was there.
"Oh, phoo you saw through my disguise." He said before flinging me across the room. I hit the wall painfully before quickly getting up ignoring the pain runniong through my body, and walking back towards him. Now the form of my dead mother with a happy face stood there. Evne if it would be like killing my mother I ran at him with the sword. It went throught his heart. The original form came back and he began to cough up blood.
"Hm, so you figured it out. I'll die with in a matter of seconds. I'm no Envy, I"m almost as easy as a human to kill. You win-for now. Your precious little girl is through those doors." the man said before his body fell limp. i pulled the sword out of his body and blood began to gush out of the wound like a blood fountain. Every one who was in the shadows had come out and were all looking at the dead form wincing.
"Come, on." I said walking towards the open doors. "I have a feeling this just got a whole lot harder." Everyone followed me.
O.o O.o O.o O.o O.o O.o O.o
It was a trap. An ambush. I'm not sure what to call it. All I know is that as soon as I walked through the second set of twin doors I heard a pained scream come from Winry before about fifty of the cloaked forms approached us. Mustang burned about ten of them and Riza got about five down with her gun. Al transmulate a weapon for him and Ellie and I made one for Huges and Gracia. Soon there were only about five or six left. Riza looked at me.
"Ed. Go." She said looking at me. "We'll take care of them. Go find Winry." Riza said and I gave her a quick smile before running through another set od doors.
I stopped dead in my tracks when Winry. She was laing on the ground, her dress torn, ripped and stained. Cuts and brusises covered practically every inch of her body, her hair was spread out everywhere covered in blood and her left arm was at an angle I didn't even know was possible. There was a pool of blood next to her but to my relife her chest was lifting up and down, barley but it was proving that she was infact still alive. I feel in my knees next to her nad cupped one side of her face with my hand.
"Winry?" I whispered quietly. Her eyelids began to flutter before I saw her beutiful blue eyes. They filled with fear almost immediatley.
"G-G-Get b-b-back." She threatened her voice shaking as she bakc up to the best of her ability.
"Winry what are you talking about? It's me Ed. Edward Elric." I said walking closer to her, slowly.
"N-N-No, no you're not I-I-I wont fall for it again." She studdered. It only took Ed about a minuet to pice it all together. Who ever these people are they can shape shift. Winry is hurt badly and scared of me. That only means that who ever hurt her looked like me when they did. I thought. I looked at her.
"No Winry, I'm not one of them It's me really!" I said almost pleading.
"B-B-but," she stuttered. I then got an idea. Crouching down next to her so that my face was almost touching hers I said, in a mocking otne.
"Come, on Rie-Rie, dont you remember me?" Winry's eyes narrowed almost instantly.
"Only Ed has the nerve to call me that." She said and a slow grin spread across my face. Winry threw her good arm around my neck and I could soon feel her hot tears soaking through my shirt
"Oh, Ed I'm sorry I didn't belive you but-but-but" I rubbed her back.
"Shhh, it's okay Winry. I know about their ability to shape-shift. In fact while I was trying to kill one of them they-they turned into you." I whispered in her ear still rubbing her back knowing that she likes it when I rub her back.
Normal POV:
Riza ran into the room Ed had gone into moments before, her hair, skin, and dress were blood coated and she still had her gun in hand. Everyone else was in equall or worse condition. She stopped when she saw in the middle of the room Ed conforting the broken, brusied, cut, and crying Winry on the floor.
"Ed." She said breathlessly. Both of the blonde teens turned to look at her.
"They're gone." Riza said giving Winry a smile. "We can leave now." She added. Ed nodded and without warning put his other arm under Winry's legs and lifted up, earning a surprised squeak from her. Riza smiled lightly at the two and led them back to where everyone else was waiting. Winry had one arm wrapped around Ed's neck while her broken one sat limply in her lap as Ed carried her bridal style through the halls and outside into the early morning light. Winry's head rested against Ed's shoulder and she kept her eyes closed untill they were out side, refusing to look at the dead bodies of her captors.
"Come on we've got to take you to a hospital." Ed said to Winry but most of the others were the ones who listned. Winry just nodded her head still resting it against Ed's shoulder. She looked like she might pass out at any second. They reached the hospital shortly after and immediatley got some doctors to take care of Winry.
Hours passed before a nurse came out to the group. And Ed almost scared her to death as he jumped out of his seat grabbed her shoulders and demanded to know if Winry was okay. Every one else shook their heads at Ed's behavior. The nurse nodded quickly.
"She-She's fine although she has a sprained ankle and a broken arm." the nurse answered nervously. Ed pulled back sighing in relife.
"Thank God." He muttered. Then he looked back at the nurse. "Can, I-I go see her?" The nurse gave him a small smile before nodding and leading him down the hall. They reached a white door that was closed with the numbers '101' on it.
"Now, I can't garuntee that she will be up sir, but I understand how much you want to see her so I will allow you it." The nurse said quietly as she opened the door. "The poor girl was terified when she woke up earlier but she feel back aslepp almost instantly." By now Ed was completley oblivious to whatever the nurse was saying. All that he could see was Winry. Asleep, with an IV cord in her arm and yet she was absoulutely beautiful and peaceful, oblivious to the beeps and noises going on around her. The nurse left the two so they could have some peace.
Winry's POV:
Everything hurt when I woke up, and when I opened my eyes the bright light was to much. When the door opened I kept my eyes closed until it closed once again and the footsteps died away. I reopened my eyes and it took a few minuets but finally my eyes adjusted. When they did I relized how heavy my arm felt. Turning my head to see why I saw the head of a familiar blonde.
"Ed." I whispered but he didn't stir. I rolled my eyes, stupid heavy sleeper. Using my good arm I began to run my hand through his hair. And after awhile I feel back asleep right next to him.
