I opened my eyes and squinted against the sunlight. I just wanted to lie still and bleed to death, but I'm sure Winry wouldn't approve...I sat up and something white around my arm, caught my eye... Winry had bandaged it.
"Oh! your awake, how are you feeling?" She asked.
"Fine..." I whispered and stared at the floor.
"Ed, what happened to you?...when I last saw you, I mean..." She asked. I didn't want to tell her but,
She'll find out eventually...
The voice nagged.
"Why can't you just SHUT UP!" I yelled, and suddenly turned to Winry. Tears were already forming in her eyes.
"N-no! winry not you! I-it's just...ugh!" I cried in frustration.
"It's ok, just tell me what's the deal with you?" She asked again.
"Ok...I"m not going to lie to you, just promise me...you'll still...stay...with me. Winry, your the only one I have left...the person I can hold on to..." I started. She nodded with a look of concern in her eyes. "Something went wrong with me...that day when I went to go look for Al, after I left breakfast...I found him but, it was a trap and I was...transmuted into a Chimera, I was fused with a wolf." I explained.
"A-and...that's what I saw yesterday, with you...?" She asked and I nodded.
"That was my 'Chimera' side and that's why I ran from you. I almost killed you!" I said, and tears started to well up in my eyes, fogging my vison.
"But, you didn't! That means theres still the real you in there!" She defended.
"The 'real me'? Winry, I don't know who I am anymore...I'm not sure I ever knew who I was." I said, it was true...wherever the 'real me' was inside me, it was locked deep inside, chained so tightly it felt like I wouldn't be able to breathe again...
"Yes you do, I do...the real you would go out there and look for his little brother...I know that in your heart you still love him..." She put her hand over my heart, and slowly drew back...as if she could it sense that it was broken. I looked away.
"I told you..." I whispered.
"Ed..." she called.
"I don't know where his is right now...so just-" I began, but was inturrpted...She leaned over and kissed me...just like that...
