Chapter 4: The Truth
What really happened between chapters 1-3 may seem confusing at first, but reread. I know your mother would have said to look between the lines but there is only space inbetween the lines. So reading this is like what she meant.
Ed and Al had come back from a long journey. Al had met a stray dog on the way and insisted on taking him with them. The dog broke Winry's tools. She blamed Ed, who yelled at her for it. Then she got angry and went for his weak spot: the fact that he loves her and needs her.
Ed got angry and left. His favorite place to go around there was his mother's grave. He sat there sadly, crying about what had happened. Before Winry got there, a machine transmuted out of alchemy had appeared before him. It took on his shape and looks. Then, before he could scream, it plunged a hand into his heart and pulled out his soul. It used the soul to fuel itself, intent on killing Winry. In fact, this machine was created by Shou Tucker, who is already dead by this time. It was dormant until Lust, Envy, and friends found it and set it free to kill Winry. They had the perfect plan. It would kill Ed at the same time.
When the machine took Ed's soul, it threw him behind the trees. Winry didn't see the real Ed, and thinking that it was Ed sitting before the grave, she began to cry and plead with him. He ignored her, trying to make the pain worse.
When he left her there, Winry ran back to the house and shut herself in her room for the next few days. He retrieved Ed's body and threw it into the room. It waited for a bit, thinking she would let her guard down by that time.
Three days later, the machine enters her room. It tries to kill her. And that is all that you didn't know and need to know.
I hope you all enjoyed my story, and even I am looking forward to my next one, and I'm the writer! Thank you all for the wonderful emotion-showing reviews you submitted!
