Chapter 3-- Love and Agony

Ed groaned, his head swimming with intense and burning pain, the other wounds not helping at all in any way or form... "You... better be damn glad I've gotten used to that... "He said lightly before smirking." What are ya gonna do now? cut me up?" he asked mockingly, not really meaning it, of course.

"I love the Idea" Winry said as she took no time in stabbing the screw driver into Ed's arm and began to drag it down, tearing through his flesh. He only had a second to curse himself inwardly for a split second, before severe and agonizing pain shot through his body from the screwdriver being stabbed, and then dragged down his arm, causing him to cry in agony as it tore flesh, tendons and muscles in his arm, blood pouring from the wound rapidly, making him dizzy and light-headed for a second or two..

Winry, deciding she wanted to finish this, she took the screwdriver and violently stabbed Ed in the chest, but this time right next to his heart, only narrowly missing it by a fair few inches, causing another agonized, pain-filled cry leave Ed's lips, and adding to that, it didn't help when she kicked into his chest, slowly removing the screw driver, wanting to make it more painful for him.

Blood spurted now from his wound and staining his clothes and the screwdriver, all this making him let out little pained sounds every time the small metal object pulled out of his body, pain ripping fire across his body every second. "I... I... hope you're... ha...happy now... Winry..." he whispered in-between his winces of pain, his vision starting to get blurry as it was.

"Believe me Edward, I am" Winry said as she stood there and smirked at Ed icily. Even though everything was hazy, and he could feel his world starting to spin, he leaned forwards and kissed Winry deeply after she'd spoken, before pulling back shakily. "Fine... but before I die... please... Winry... if you're... R-really in there... I... I love you..." he said softly, before sinking to the ground shortly, his legs giving out. "Please come back..." he added, his voice

cracking in places, as he fell back into his back, his breathing very ragged and shallow, his wounded and, at the moment, useless, and severely injured, bleeding arm lying at his side, his numerous other wounds not stopping their bleeding.

Winry finally snapped out of her state and after a moment of shock and surprise, realized what she had done. "E-Ed?" she asked in a raspy voice as she stared in horror at the bloody boy in before her, and already, tears brimmed in her sapphire blue eyes, as she fell to her knees still looking at Ed. "What happened?" she asked, more to herself then to Ed.

Barely having even heard her, as he'd been fighting off unconsciousness constantly, trying to stay awake... though it was getting harder and harder... His gold eyes opened, a dull, almost lifeless look in them, the color having faded slightly as he looked at her, managing to put on a smile. "You... don't... remember? y-you... you did this...to me.." he whispered, his skin turning an even paler shade as he forced his heart to keep beating, and not die... he couldn't.. But it was indeed becoming difficult for him... the blood loss and pain was getting to him.

"I did?" Winry asked as she began to cry" Ed I'm so... so... sorry... " Winry sobbed as she hugged him, crying even harder into his bloody chest, not caring about her or her clothes, just for the bloodied, half-dead boy she held.

A hurt expression fell over his features, now deeply hating to see her cry... it nearly hurt him worse than the numerous injuries he had over his body. In emotional and physical pain, he winced, as her hug was hurting him, though she continued to cry into his bloodied chest, paining him some, and as he watched her, painfully, he wished his arm worked right so he could wrap an arm around her... but he couldn't... it just lie there, bleeding.. "W-Winry... I-it's fine... y-you weren't yourself... I... I understand..." he whispered, his voice cracking and breaking in places as he forced his voice to work.

"Ed I'm sorry... really... I am... "Winry said once again as she got up. "I've got to help I'll be right back... just hold on... please" Winry said as she rushed into a different room rummaging around for some bandages, still crying which was making it quite hard to concentrate.

He closed his tired, gold eyes at her words, as he faded in and out of consciousness constantly for a moment, before managing to move his left hand some, enough to start pushing him to a sitting position, but then it shot pain through his whole arm, from the deep gash in his arm and the broken wrist, and he fell back to the ground with a thump, wincing, as he rested his hand over his chest wound, which had stopped bleeding a little, but his shirt was still soaked with blood, and as it was, thanks to the small puddle of blood around him, parts of his gold hair was stained red as it was. 'Please hurry, Winry...' he thought with a wince, feeling the blood dripping from his wounds, making it harder and harder to keep himself breathing. He had to live… that's what kept him going…. Why? For Winry… he didn't want to die and end up losing her. Not now…. Not ever..
