Disclaimer: I don't own FMA…
Chapter Four: Train Ride
"How can you stand this?" Winry exclaimed as she leaned back in her seat on the train.
"Would you stop complaining!" Ed told Winry as he hunched back.
"I hate sitting in one place for to long! You know that!" Winry huffed as she crossed her arms. "When will we get to central anyway?"
"In about another two hours." Al stated as he looked out the window.
"Argg! I hate this!" Winry stood up and started to walk towards the back of the car.
"Where the hell do you think that your going!" Ed yelled as he jumped up.
"To the bathroom! Gees you would think that you're my mother!" Winry said as she continued to the bathroom.
"Oh…" Ed said as he sat back down. He had decided that it would be a good idea if Winry came to central with him and Al. It didn't take much persuading on her part, or Pinako's on that part. They had just told everyone that it was because his arm was acting up every now and then, so if she was there he could have it fixed right away. But he should have know that the train ride would be like this.
"She is intolerable!" Ed exclaimed as he sat there.
"Be nice, you're no different on the train. The only difference is that you have stopped asking if we are there yet!" Al scolded Ed.
Ed huffed "Yeah well, at least I…"
"AAAIIIEEE!" Ed never got a chance to finish as he jumped onto his feet and started to run towards the scream.
"Ed that was Winry's voice!" Al said as they ran.
"I know…" Ed said as he reached the back door that reached the second half of the train car. When Ed opened it and went inside he froze at what he saw. Winry was standing there with a man behind her holding a knife at her throat. He had one arm pinned behind her back while the other hand was trying to keep the knife from getting closer. The man had a cocky smirk on that made him look like more of a madman then anything else.
"I see that you've come, Full Metal…" his words dripped with venom as he spoke.
"Let her go!" Ed hissed his hands balling up into fists.
"Why would I want to let go of such a pretty creature?" the man said as he licked the side of Winry's neck.
"ED!" Winry yelled as she shuddered form disgust.
"I SAID LET HER GO!" Ed yelled. He knew that he couldn't really do anything in the current position. If he used alchemy there would be to big of a chance of harming Winry.
"Tell the brat to get out." The man said.
"Brother…" Al began to ask but Ed cut him off.
"Go Al." Al looked at Ed then at Winry and the man.
"Ok…" Al walked out of the room and closed the door.
"Now let her go!" Ed said. It was done so quietly, but had enough force in it that even Mustang would have shuddered in fear. But the man just smiled wildly.
"Good, now we can talk with out interruptions. So how important is this girl to you?" He asked, nodding his head towards Winry.
"None of your damn business." Ed replied.
"Well now…I don't think that you are in the position to be making those type of decisions."
"Like hell!" Ed yelled. He was about to lung but paused when he noticed where the man had positioned Winry. He had his legs spread just slightly and had moved his hand from holding her hand behind her back to just below her chest, pressing her against him.
"Ed…" Winry whispered while her tears flowed freely from her eyes.
"I told you to let her go! I am not going to tell you again!"
"I take it that she dose mean something to you, but even if you wanted to do something could you take her from me with out her getting hurt?"
"…" Ed just stood there clenching his fists.
"That's what I thought!" He started to laugh "well now what should we do about you little girl." His hand that was holding her started to roam upwards, much to Ed and Winry's dislike.
"ED!" Winry yelled as she struggled to get free, but only succeeded in making the man look even happier, if that were possible.
"That's it struggle." He whispered in her ear, but Ed heard it and he couldn't hold back any longer.
Ed jumped towards him catching him off guard Ed landed a punch right in the middle of the man's face. In the process the man's grip on Winry had loosened and Ed took advantage of it. Ed pulled Winry into his arms and ran to the other side of the room. The whole process had taken only seconds, but the results were definite. Winry was bridle style in Ed's arms and the man was standing there holding his face. It sounded as if he were crying, but when he lifted his head it reviled a broken nose and mechanical laughing.
"Ed…" Winry breathed as they looked at him. Ed's grip on Winry tightened as he took a step back.
"Now I shall make you pay!" The man yelled as he threw his hand out to revile a spoon.
Ed smirked, while Winry and the man sweat dropped. " You shouldn't underestimate me." Ed said.
"Hmmph…" the man threw the spoon at Ed but he easily dogged it. Before the spoon even touched the ground the man jumped towards them, but this time Ed wasn't so lucky. Ed got a punch in the jaw and Winry fell to the ground. It was all that Winry could do to scramble out of the way as the two fought.
Kicks and punches were thrown everywhere, hitting both of them. Ed had already transformed his arm, but it wasn't helping much. Ed lunged at the man but he dogged it and landed his foot in Ed's gut.
"Edward!" Winry screamed as the man stepped back to look at Ed who was now on the ground in pain.
"One down…" He turned to Winry "one to go…" He had his smirk on again and started to walk toward her. Winry knew that there was no way that she could get away as she started to inch backwards. Her back was at the wall by the time Ed some what stood up, only one little phrase audible to anyone, "don't you dare touch her."
He was in no shape to fight anymore, and they all knew it. "Well, well. I guess the little girl is a bit more important then I first thought. But it looks like you are about to pass out." He took another step to Winry. "So why don't you just sit back and watch." He grabbed Winry and started to lick her neck.
"Edward!" she yelled as she struggled to get away from him.
"I TOLD YOU NOT TO TOUCH HER!" Ed clapped his hands and a giant spike came up out of the ground. The man suddenly stopped and his grip on Winry loosened. She quickly got up and ran towards Ed. When she got there she looked back to see the spike in the man.
The train suddenly came to a complete stop and the door flew open to revel some military officers.
"There he is!" yelled one as they ran towards the body. "Yep, it's that rapist that we had been looking for."
"Sir are you all right?" another man asked as he approached Ed. Ed nodded yes then the man looked at Winry, who was still clinging to Ed as if there was no tomorrow. "How about you miss?" All they heard was crying as she just buried her face deeper into Ed's shirt if that were possible.
"She'll be fine." Ed answered for her as he looked down at her. He picked her up bridle style and started to walk out the door.
"Sir we have a car for you outside." The officer said. Once again Ed just nodded in reply.
&&&&&&&
"Ed! Winry! Are you two all right?" Al asked as he ran towards them once they were outside.
"Yeah, Winry is just in some shock." Ed answered.
"I'm sorry I couldn't help, but I was in the front calling for help." Al answered as they walked to the car, Ed still carrying Winry.
"That's ok, I'm glad you did." Ed answered as he reached the car. "By the way, who was that guy?"
""I don't know, but you should get Winry to a safe place, I'll finds out what is going on here." Al answered as her looked around.
"Ok." Ed answered as he helped Winry into the car. "But be careful!" Ed got into the car himself.
"Don't worry! I'm always careful!" Al answered back happily. Ed just sighed as the car pulled away. "It's you and Winry who should be careful big brother." Al whispered as the car pulled out. "Now to find out what the hell is going on." Al turned to go get some answers to the many questions that he had.
