Ch. 7
Ed was at the bottom of the trunk of the tree. Blood surrounding his left forearm. Winry ran towards him. His eyes were open but she knew he wasn't awake. She picked him up (like the way soldiers pick up other soldiers) and ran to her house. What happened Ed, she thought.
She burst open the door which Al was just about to use and he fell down. " Sorry Al but this is important." Al saw Ed slung over Winry and blood leaking from his sleeve. He was to shocked to move. " Pinako!" yelled Winry. " What's wron--" she gasped as she saw Ed. " Quick get him to the bedroom!" ordered Pinako. Winry immediatly ran to the spare bedroom. She set him down on the bed and went to help get medical equipment.
Ed's eyes started to open. He examined the room. " Where am I?" he asked. " In your room," said a voice that sounded hauntingly familiar. Ed's eyes shot open and he quickly sat up. " Mom..." he said not believeing it was her. " Brother are you okay?" said Al. He looked to the side of him. It was Al but in his human form. " Ed are you okay?" he repeated but it sounded like a girl's voice. Al said it once more and this time Ed could recognize who's voice it was. He blinked twice and looked up to see Winry with worried eyes. All she saw was Ed sit up quickly with a blank expression in his eyes. " How did I get here?" he asked. " I saw a pool of blood surrounding your forearm and brought you back to the house." " Why." " What." " Why. Why did you save me!" he started yelling," I did that on purpose! I don't deserve to live! After what I did to everybody! My mom! You! Even my own brother! I failed everybody!" He started to cry but quickly turned his head and put it down looking towards the ground. But she could still see the tears rolling off his nose. " Ed thats not true!" she shouted with tears welling up in her eyes. " How would you know! Have you ever failed any--" he started coughing violently. " Just lay down..." she said with the tears finally coming down. She put one of her hands on Ed's chest and one behind his head and helped him lay down. His eyes closed as he hit the pillow. She was thankful that his chest was still rising up and down. Winry wiped away the tears that were in her eyes and when others formed she would wipe them away again. She put one of her hands over his real one and intwined their fingers. " You didn't fail me, your mom, or your brother. You didn't fail your mom by staying alive. You didn't fail your brother because without you , you wouldn't be able to attach his soul. And you didn't fail me because you make me able to fill a hole in my heart. I know you can't here me but..." she was nervouse about saying it even though he was asleep but was finally able to find the words. She pressed her lips on his and said.
" I love you."
