Believe In Me

Winry's POV

I couldn't sleep all night knowing Ed and Al were taken away. Usually they are more on guard, but since I came they themed a little preoccupied. If this never happened then maybe they would have been safe. I felt so worried for them. Not knowing if they are ok, or if they're still alive. I watched the rising sun start to get surrounded by a dark cloud. It began to be dark outside and the air become ice cold. I saw Lieutenant Hawkeye come in with some warm tea to watch I gladly accepted.

"Don't Winry they'll be fine. It's the Elric brothers after all," She spoke.

"Yeah, but none of this would have happened if I hadn't gotten involved. They would still be here," I replied starting to cry.

"If you truly feel that way then deal with it instead of blaming yourself for it. You can't change what happened in the past, but you can change the future,"

With those words from Lieutenant Hawkeye I didn't feel sad. She was right, I need to stop dwelling in the past and look forward to the future. I know now that what happened, happened for a reason. I was met to destroy the darkness and the Jewel of Hope. I looked at Lieutenant Hawkeye and thanked her. I put on my outfit and grabbed my automail tools. Lieutenant Hawkeye looked confused, but I knew what I was doing.

"Time for a little upgrade," I said,

. . . . . .

I took one deep breath as I began to take my first step toward my destiny. I felt in the pit of my stomach fear, but then Lieutenant Hawkeye put her hand on my shoulder and I felt reinsure. I saw Ling and Lan Fan standing next to me smiling. I saw the Fuhrer and an army of men standing behind us. This was the day destiny would change forever. I would have to go up against the two people I care about. I swear to them that I will bring them back one way or another. Then without turning back I began to walk toward the darkness.

It was getting colder by the minute, but I still kept going. I could see up ahead and I saw Ed and Al's mother siting on a stone throne. Next to her were Ed and Al. As we got closer I could see a huge army of her minions. They were shaped like humans, but were filled with darkness. I stopped once I got close enough. She stood from her throne and grinned.

"So we final meet face to face for what will be your last fight," She said.

"I'm not afraid of you. I will take you down," I replied.

"We shall see about that," She then nodded to Ed and Al and they began to ran toward me.

I dodged there attacks and as soon as I moved all hell broke loose between good and evil. All I could hear as I was fighting Ed and Al was gun shots and loud screams. I started to struggle fighting Ed and Al and soon Ling and Lan Fan came and held off Al as I deal with Ed. Beating Ed was going to be a lot harder than I thought. I watched as the darkness watched me struggle defeating my friend.

"Ed you've got to snap out of it! It's me Winry, you're friend! I don't want to fight you!" I yelled.

"You tried to kill my mother! You're not my friend!" He shouted and attacked me.

"It's no use girl he's under my control now and he won't let his sweet mother get hurt," The darkness said.

"You're not his mother! You're not kind and loving like the mother he had! You're not even human," I said.

I could see she was angry and then I saw Ed attack me, making me fall to the ground. He then got on top of me and then transmuted a dragger. I saw him ready to attack me and I screamed. Suddenly he stopped.

"Ed" I questioned.

I saw him struggle to kill me. It was like he wanted to, but at the same time it looked like he was trying to resist. Could Ed be trying to fight the darkness within him? I looked over to where Al was and he stopped fighting too and he looked like he was trying to resist it too.

"Don't just stand there! Kill her!" She said.

I saw Al move closer toward me and I saw Ling then attack Ed so that he was off me. Then Lan Fan joined him, but then out of the corner of my eye I saw Al dashing toward me with a spear in his hand trying to strike me.

"Al listen to me," I said and he still attacked.

"I know you Al and I know you wouldn't hurt me! I'm your friend Al and as your friend you have to trust me. Remember all the good times we shared together as friends. Remember how Ed got your body back and remember how you lost it," I said and I saw Al stop fighting me.

I saw him and he dropped his weapon and took a step back from me. I could see in his eyes that he was starting to remember. I slowly walked toward him and grabbed his hands.

"Remember Al that Ed, Granny, and I are still your family. Your mother maybe gone, but we are still here for you, always and forever," I said and I saw tears slid down his face and he looked at me and hugged me.

"I'm so sorry I didn't believe in you Winry!" He cried.

I patted his head and when he lifted his face to where I could see him, I smiled. I saw the Fuhrer and Lieutenant Hawkeye come. I explained that he was fine, but I still had to deal with Ed. As I walked away I looked back at Al.

"I'll bring him back Al I promise," I swore.

"You remind me of brother," He replied.

"Don't be stupid, I'm not an idiot like he is," I said walking away and I could hear him laugh behind me.

I saw Ling and Lan Fan try to hold him off, but he was way too strong. I told them that I'd handle it. They looked at me worried, but nodded and went to help the others with the shadows. I saw Ed give an evil smile to me. It was like he had been waiting for me to fight him. I quickly ran after him, but when I attacked him, he disappeared and hit me from behind. I was on the ground and when I turned around he was striking again, but this time I dodged it. He continued to attack, but I was starting to get tried. I looked at the jewel and knew it was draining me. I had to end this soon, before it's to late.
