Chapter eight

Ed and Winry were staring right into Jim's face, no one daring to move. Ed was shielding Winry with his own body, and she was holding onto his flesh arm.

Getting fed up with the silence Winry asked, "Why the hell are you here?"

"My, my, my. Impatient are we? Hmmm well that's what I love about you." Jim stopped the carriage and stood up. "But for the reason that I am here, why it is for you Winry."

"What?" Ed noticed that her grip on his arm tightened as she talked.

"I told you that I wanted us to marry. Don't you remember?" Jim looked genuinely hurt.

"I remember you mentioning it once that's all." Winry answered.

"Well anyway I am here to do exactly what I said." Jim had a gleam in his eyes that Winry couldn't place, but Ed knew it all to well. He had seen that look before, that look haunted him at night sometimes. The look that could only be described as bloodlust. But this one was different. It had something else that Ed barely recognized as desire. Desire for Winry, his Winry. And no matter what Ed would never let this man touch Winry, even if it meant his life.

"You will never have her!" Ed said as Winry hid farther behind him.

"I get anything that I want! And I want her!" Jim yelled as he made some sort of hand signal. Numerous men came out of the forest that they were hiding in circling around the carriage, blocking off any escape path that Ed and Winry could take.

"Ed…" Winry said from behind him.

"I know Win." Ed answered. Jim made another signal and all the men came running towards Ed and Winry.

"Remember the one who brings her to me unharmed gets the reward! Do what you want with the man, but the girl is mine!" Jim yelled.

The men were taking out all sorts of weapons as they ran, Ed barley had time to change his arm as one landed right in front of him. He had a sword and was pushing Ed down.

"Winry stay behind me!" Ed yelled as he was pushed back right into Winry.

"I kind of have too!" Winry replied as they were pushed into the back of the seat. Winry was holding onto Ed like her life depended on it and Ed was being surrounded by several other men, all with weapons. Though Ed did have to admit that he was happy that he didn't see any guns.

"You fools I told you not to harm her!" Jim yelled from the background, giving Ed an idea.

"Winry." Ed whispered.

"Yeah." Winry answered.

"Get in front of me."

"Are you nuts? You just told me to stay behind you!" Winry responded.

"Yeah, but Jim don't want you harmed at all and if you are in front of me do you really think that they will attack?" Ed asked.

"Fine!" Winry answered as Ed suddenly pushed forward giving Winry space to crawl out from behind him. Before any of the men could grab her Ed grabbed Winry's arm and pulled her in front of him, holding her there with both arms wrapped around her waist.

"Stop no one hit him!" Jim yelled. "You might hit the girl!" Ed smirked at his obvious genius and Winry sighed.

"You are so full of it Ed." She whispered.

"I know" Ed replied as he watched Jim. Jim seamed to be taking the latest turn of events into account. And when he smirked Ed knew that he was in for it.

"Grab her! The bastard can't fight back and hold onto her!" Jim yelled.

"Now what Ed?" Winry asked as the men smirked and walked slowly towards them.

"Shit I didn't get that far yet." Ed answered. The first man pounced and right as he grabbed Winry's arm she hit him with that wrench that was always magically appearing. "Where do you keep that thing?"

"None of your business." Winry answered as the next man came running at her. She once again hit him with the wrench and as the next man came from the side Ed slashed out his arm getting the guy in the gut. The metal sword went right into him and as he fell those dying eyes looked up at Ed and Winry leaving a bad feeling with them.

This only seamed to anger all the other men around as they launched themselves at the couple in groups. Ed knew that it would only be a matter of time before they took him out, but his main concern was Winry. His worst fears came when a man snuck around behind him pulling him away from Winry. In just that second Winry was grabbed by one of the men and thrown into Jim's arms.

"ED!" Winry screamed.

"Winry!" Ed yelled back, but as he tried to get up the men fighting him grabbed and tackled him down to the floor of the carriage.

"Don't kill him just yet. I want him to suffer seeing the one he loves in the arms of another." Jim said as he held Winry close to him. She had her hands by her face so he only had to use one arm to hold her without her escaping. She had also dropped her wrench in all the commotion, leaving her defenseless.

"Let her go now!" Ed yelled, but his face was shoved into the floor.

Jim just smiled as he told one of his men something that Ed and Winry didn't hear. The man nodded as he signaled something to the other men. They picked Ed up and lifted him out of the carriage as Jim took his seat in the back, Winry still in his arms.

"ED!" She called to him, but she knew that it wouldn't do any good.

"Winry!" Ed yelled back as he struggled against the other men.

"What are you waiting for? GO!" Jim yelled as the carriage started moving taking Winry farther and father away from Ed.

"EDWARD!" Winry screamed as the carriage left from Ed's sight.

"WINRY!" Ed yelled as he fought the men. "Let go of me you bastards!" Ed yelled. The men kept pushing Ed further and further back from the road so that now he was in the beginning of the forest. When they reached a tree they pushed Ed against it and tied him to it, making sure to keep his hands apart.

When they were done one of the men spoke to him for the first time. "I am truly sorry sir, but we are just doing our job. Nothing against you sir."

"What the hell does this Jim do for a living?" Ed asked as he stared at the men.

"From what we can tell he is the son of a rich family and he was a trained soldier, but was kicked out or something. We are not at liberty to discuss anymore."

They all turned to walk away when Ed yelled. "Wait!" The man who talked to him stopped and looked at Ed, all the rest either kept walking or just stopped. "Where did he take her?"

"To the village…. that is all that I know." The man then turned and walked away, as did the rest of them.

"Jim better not do anything to her or else…" Ed said to himself as he struggled with the bindings. It didn't take Ed long to realize that he had a piece of chalk in his pocket and that his hand was right next to it. So in about five seconds Ed had taken the piece of chalk, drawn a transmutation circle, and freed himself. Ed then started walking towards the town think about ways to kill Jim.

&&&&&&&&

"LET ME GO!" Winry yelled from the carriage fighting against Jim.

"Why should I? You are mine, it is as simple as that." Jim answered as he licked Winry's ear.

Cringing Winry screamed "AAAIIIEE! Pervert! Let me go NOW! ED!" Winry was fighting with all her strength, tears about to fall down her face.

Jim turned her to face him in his arms and practically yelled at her, "Don't you ever mention that bastard again! You are mine now and I don't ever want to hear his name come from your lips again, am I understood!"

Winry was frozen as she stared at the man. Getting her voice back Winry said, "You can threaten me all that you want, but I will never belong to you! I love Ed and nothing you do can change that!"

Winry gulped as Jim opened his mouth to say something else. "I said that you are mine and I will kill anyone who tries to take you away from me!" The moment that he finished talking his mouth crashed onto hers. Winry was frozen at the sudden contact. He mind spinning, screaming to at her 'Break away! You don't want anyone but Ed to do this to you! This isn't Ed, he shouldn't be allowed to do this to you!'

Eagerly obeying her mind Winry tried to push him away, But Jim just deepened the kiss refusing to let her go. His grip on her was tightening and the only thing that Winry could do was squeeze her eyes shut and wish that Ed would come for her soon.

&&&&&&&

Ed walked along the path left by the carriage, trying to piece together all that was happening. First there was the attack on the train. Then there was that whole ordeal about the people trying to kill him at central, they hadn't seemed like they wanted Winry at all. Then this. Why did Jim go threw all this trouble to kidnap Winry? Sure he was obsessed enough, but he killed a man just so that he could do this.

There had to be someone else in charge. There was no way that this could be only Jim's fault. Just who was it and why was Jim working with them? The worst part that got to Ed was the fact that they had to go and bring Winry into the middle of this. What was going on? Ed had no idea, but he knew one thing for sure. He was going to find out and get Winry back before anything happened to her.
