Chapter 4

THANKS FOR THE R&R! PLEASE COUNTINUE.

Winry entered the hospital ward again from walking the corridors and sat down on 'her' bed. "Pinako…I'm sorry the house is probably a mess, I hope you're at least yourself on your vacation…" Winry started to tear. "Oh Ed…I need you here!" She buried her face in the pillow.

Ed sat down on the sidewalk to rest his leg; he had been running since he got off the train, he was nearly there, almost with Winry. A stray cat chased a mouse towards Ed, who caught the mouse in his flesh hand and put him in his coat pocket. The cat hissed and Ed threw a pebble at it; the cat turned around and ran away. "It's alright, he's gone." Ed gently held the mouse in his hands and stroked its small body. It squeaked and wriggled out of Ed's grip, he scurried away, leaving Ed alone. He stood back up and stretched. "I'm coming for you Winry." He started to run again.

Winry layed there staring at the ceiling. She heard someone walking towards her so she glanced at them. There was Major Alexander Armstrong walking towards her.

"Miss Rockbell, I'm afraid you'll have to come with me." For being such a large man, his grasp on Winry's arm was surprisingly light.

"Are you taking me home now?" WInry asked as she sat up in the bed.

"Well…ummm…yes, Miss Rockbell, yes I am." He smiled.

Winry's eyes sparkled with tears of joy. "Well then why are we still here? Lets go already!" She jumped out of the bed.

Armstrong laughed and led Winry out of the ward and towards Fuhrer's office..Winry of course had no idea where she was going. Halfway down the hall they heard yells and the whole building shook.

"Major! Stop wasting time with that girl, she's going to die if this building goes down anyway, take care of her later!" Havoc ran past them and disappeared around the corner.

Winry stopped smiling. "You weren't taking me home? You were taking me somewhere…so you could kill me?" WInry stared at him with wide eyes.

"I was only following orders, Miss Rockbell." Armstrong tried to explain as the building rumbled beneath their feet again.

"Well follow this!" Winry took a wrench out of her pocket and whacked Armstrong in the head with it.

"Umm…ouch." He fell over, out cold.

WInry smiled and silently complimented herself. For a minute she thought she heard someone call her name, she just shrugged it off and turned around. There, standing in front of her now, was a tall man wearing an eye patch over one of his eyes.

"Hello little girl, come with me now." Fuhrer Bradly grabbed onto both of Winry's shoulders and smiled slyly.

"No way!" Winry yelled and hit him across the face with the wrench. For a few seconds, the man seemed to change. He had long green hair, kept out of a sharp face by a think headband, shorter in height, and wearing what looked like a skirt and top in a greenish-black. Then he returned to 'normal'. "You're….you're one of those…those things aren't you? Edward told me about you, your Lust, right?"

"Damn you!" The disguised Homunculus (sp?) slapped Winry. "Get the name right girl! I'm Envy and we're not things we're Homunculi (sp?)."

"Oh, are you, Fuhrer?" Roy Mustang stepped out into the hall from a nearby office, his right gloved hand raised in a snapping motion.

Envy only smiled then changed. WInry was now looking at a perfect replica of herself. "So, Roy, which one of us is the real me..hmm? choose wisely!" The cloned Winry threw itself on top of the real Winry, knocking her down. They rolled on the ground, hitting, biting…then they stood up. One was holding the wrench and the other had a bloodied nose.

"Roy, its me!" The Winry with the wrench yelled out.

"No, please, Roy, its me." The other Winry spoke quietly.

Roy was confused, he turned his hand towards one Winry, then to the other, unable to decide on which to burn.

"I know how to tell them apart." Edward Elric stepped up behind the Winrys, bloodied and looking worn out.

"Ed? You came for me?" The Winry with the wrench asked.

"Well I came for the real WInry. Now, I'm going to ask a question that only the real Winry would know because she's the only one other than myself who knows.:

Mustang kept his gloved hand raised, ready to increate the imposter.

Ed took a deep breath. "Alright…What's written on the inside of my pocket watch?" He glared at the floor, fists clenched.

The Winry with the wrench stepped towards him. "Ed…you hardly ever talk about that, especially in front of other state alchemists…" She glanced at Mustang.

"It says 'remember', then the date you and Al burned your house down." The other Winry said. The unreal Winry, the one with the wrench,turned around and shapeshifted again, this time into Ed's mother. Ed himself was paralyzed as he looked at the homunculus. Mustang stepped forward.

"Edward…come give your precious mother a hug, oh I've missed you so much." Envy, as Trisha Elric, turned back to Ed with open wide arms.

Winry was pushed to the side by Mustang who snapped his fingers, sending a wave a flames onto Envy.

Envy changed again to the little girl, Shana, That Ed had met on the train. "I like your hair!" She screamed as flames surrounded her, burned her.

Ed was still frozen, shaking. "Stop it. Stop it! STOP IT!" Ed put his hands together and them placed them on the ground. A wall came out of the floor, cutting Envy and Edward off from Mustang and Winry. The flames around Envy vanished as they were cut off from Mustang.

Envy, now in his/her true form stood up and crossed his/her arms. "Why'd you help me you little punk?"

"It was you…who took Winry away from me in the first place?" Ed didn't look up.

"Of course it was me, I had to get you weaker so I took away what made you strong. Envy laughed but was silenced as the wall that closed them off was shattered.

Lust stepped through, her fingers extended and bloody. "Those two alchemists were as sot as butter…but the girl was softer…her skin was so smooth, it made that more easier to cut her through and through."

"Can I eat her?" Gluttony followed Lust. Envy smiled and joined him at Lust's side.

Ed extended a blade from his auto-mail arm and ran for the homunculi. "Damn you all! No one's eating Winry, I love her too much, I won't let you!" HE readied himself to cut Lust into pieces……..

Well that seemed like a good place to stop, hopefully the ending of this chapter will leave you wanting more, well you'll get more…as soon as I get another idea.
