River
I had to keep running. Envy came out of nowhere and began to attack Ed, so he told me to get out of where we were so I wouldn't see. I wanted to help, but he wouldn't listen to me. I didn't know how far I went since I hesitated to turn around, but when I entered the water, I felt like he had lost.
Maybe he killed Ed, or Envy got away from him, but I knew it was the homunculus who tried to keep my body in the river. He wanted for me to drown, to die, yet I hadn't done anything to him. My air supply was running short and I saw bubbles float up as my eyesight blurred. I heard their vague voices until I felt Envy's grip loosen up. However, I couldn't respond to this and swim up. Then, I just heard Ed's voice and my body no longer felt the water. Instead, I was on the soft grass and the water that I swallowed flowed out.
"Winry, Winry," he said huskily, "respond." I couldn't hear myself answer, though, but I coughed and felt the oxygen enter through my nose. I opened my eyes and saw that he was above me with strange relief. I gave him an unsure smile, telling him that I was fine, but confused.
"Are you alright?" As much as I wanted to sound normal, I ended up croaking like I had swallowed a frog instead of water.
"Why are you asking me if you were the one drowning?" he asked furrowing his eyebrows.
"Why are you asking me if you were the one fighting?" I countered as I dropped my smile.
He rolled his eyes irritably. "That's not important. I'm asking you calmly. Now answer me."
I furrowed my eyebrows. "I worried, oka—" Before I could finish talking, my breath hitched and I began to cough.
Edward stared at me as he wrapped his right arm around my shoulders and his left under the folds of my knees. "Don't answer if you can't talk, okay?" he said. "I'm taking you home to rest."
I couldn't object because I was one-hundred sixty five centimeters off the ground and if I did offend him, Edward would surely drop me for criticizing his height. "What if I want to walk?" I asked anyway.
"Do you feel like walking?" he asked.
"Well, I'm too heavy to be carried all the way, Ed," I said.
"You're light to me," he said and I subconsciously blushed.
I let him carry me, feeling strange, but glad to somehow be in his arms, even if it were for me drowning. He was at least considerate and careful at walking while handling me as the villagers stared in awe. It wasn't every day that they saw Edward carrying me. However, his blush surprised me when I asked how he had managed to get the water out of me. Hesitantly and nervously he answered 'Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation', or in other words, the kiss of life. How did I not feel his lips?
