Chapter 2
First off, thanks to everyone who R&R'ed the first chapter of my story, and thanks for the help. Next, I hope you'll like the next part of my story just as much, or even more. Please R&R this chapter. —sorry if this chapter is short, I dunno.
Winry screamed as the back door to the kitchen was burned to the ground. There was a yell from out front also as someone was thrown against a wall, most likely Riza Hawkeye. Before Winry could move, Mustang ran up and grabbed Winry's arms. "Come now miss, we only have a few questions for you to answer." Winry managed to get free by spitting in his eyes. Flames just missed her as she ducked under the table, which was burned. Ashes fell onto Winry's blonde hair as the steel door in front of the kitchen vanished. Ed entered the kitchen, his shirt torn and a slight burn along his neck, but overall he was just fine. Al came in behind him, carrying Riza in his arms, who had apparently had been knocked out.
"Nice trick Roy…with the flame thrower, but I have to say…she didn't put up much of a fight." Ed smirked as he walked past Mustang to Winry, who was holding her knees to her chest. "Come on, Win, lets' go." Ed held onto Winry's waist when she stood up. Mustang stepped forward. "Edward, I can not allow you to keep her here with you. I order you to hand over the girl now! Or I'll take her by force!" Roy threw Ed across the room with fire, burning the front of his shirt. He hit the wall and slid to the ground, he looked lifeless just laying there.
"Ed!" Winry ran up to him and Al stepped forward. "Brother!" Al yelled as he saw his brother lying there unconscious. He thought quickly. Mustang started walking towards Winry and his brother. He wouldn't let him harm them anymore! "Colonel….catch!" Roy looked at Al just as he threw Riza into him. He fell to the floor with a small 'oomph'. Al then quickly drew a circle and placed his hands down on it. Steel pipes and wires came out from the floor and walls and wrapped around Mustang's body, along with Riza whom he had been holding rather close. They both fell to the ground.
Winry didn't know what to do; she was confused at everything that had just happened…Why do I have to go to Central when I haven't even done anything! She stayed as Ed's side, moving some of his loose hair out of his eyes. Al picked up the tied up state alchemists and made for the door. "Oh Ed…why'd you have to go and protect me like that?" She hugged Ed tightly. "Because I love you Winry." Ed draped his auto-mail arm across the back of Winry's shoulders. She sat up and looked at him. "You're ok?" She looked like she would die if Ed gave her the wrong answer. "Yea, of course I'm ok." Ed sat up to. They just sat their smiling at each other until Al ran back to them, his left arm completely shattered. "Brother! Major Armstrong is here!" "Al? What the hell happened to you!" Ed stood up, he swayed a little, but he steadied him self by holding onto Winry's shoulders as she stood up too.
"Major….Armstrong?" Ed looked at Al questionably. He nodded in response. All of a sudden boulders were flying through the windows and walls. "Get down Winry!" Ed tried to pull Winry down, but it was too late. A small boulder hit Winry in the chest, knocking the wind out of her, she fell backwards at the impact. "Win!" Ed ran over to her and lifted her up in his arms, but a boulder hit his back, knocking him over along with Winry. "Watch it Ed you idiot!" He smiled as he sat up, well…Winry was back to normal…for the most part. She was shaking out of fear. "Brother!" Al yelled out as another rock hit Ed in the head this time, knocking him out once again. Two muscular arms wrapped around Winry, cutting off her oxygen supply. Winry felt light-headed as she tried to breathe. She saw Al engulfed in flames….then everything started to get darker and blurry….Mustang was in front of her, then nothing.
