A Hero's Life

Chapter 2

She was furious. She shook beneath him with rage at what he was doing. She wanted to punch him, to go back to what things used to be. She flinched at what she felt, because even if she had loved him, even if she did love him now, this was still rape.

"You...monster."

She couldn't really say much. He was doing things to her, touching her body in certain ways that left her breathless. It was still rape, because what was in pain was the most important part of her body. And he knew he was causing her pain. He was giving her an equal amount of pain and pleasure on purpose, because this was his way of showing her that he could be kind, but this was also her punishment. After half an hour, he was smirking next to her, satisfied. She had her head buried in her pillow, refusing to look at him.

"I guess I should have kept my word, but then I'd be a cruel bastard. I'm not the bad guy here Win, and you know it."

She looked at his face and his smirk had vanished, replaced by a cold look, one he was directing towards her. She hid her head again, and nodded in the pillow.

"I know Ed. And I feel terrible for what happened to him, but it wasn't my fault."

Before she could finish what she was going to say he was on top of her once more, glaring at her.

"Winry, I don't think your memory is quite as fresh as it used to be. You and him were in the same room, but who got out and locked the door? On purpose?"

She fet tears prick her eyes.

"Edward, I didn't lock it on purpose! He didn't get out at the same time as me, and I thought he was right behind me. I can't imagine what he's been through, being in there for hours, face to those chemicals. Ed, I really didn't want him to be there, I thougth he really was with me."

"Shut up! I don't want to hear your lies! I think it's time I teach you another lesson."

He smirked and her eyes widened in horror and she was trying to push him off and ended up with her hands and feet tied to the matress, courtosy of his alchemy. She looked at him and his eyes showed a tiny bit of insanity to them. He was going insane, and he was planning on bringing her down with him.

"Ed, please..."

"Too late Win, you brought this onto yourself."

With that, he started all over again, this time he really didn't go easy on her, and gave her no form of pleasure whatsoever. The next morning, Winry woke up with a sleeping form next to her. He had his hands around her, and she could hear the beating of his chest.

"Winry..."

She looked up at him and his eyes were slightly open, trying to focus on her. She was still looking up until she felt a surge of anger as she remembered what had happened. He was still trying to focus when she pushed him out of the bed with a kick to the stomach.

"Get out of here Edward Elric!"

He glared at her and stood up, walking to her. She somehow managed to stand up on the ground when she was on the bed a second ago. She punched him in the face and was staring angrily at him.

"I'm sorry for Al, and I am sorry that you're too blind to see it was a mistake. Get out of here before I send the cops after you, or you will be sorry."

He smirked and stood up again.

"As if they scare me, you're more of a threat then them, even if you're not much of a threat at all."

He grabbed her wrist but she still kept her pose. He smirked and was a little bit impressed then pushed her to the bed.

"I mean it Ed, get out."

He kept moving to her until she grabbed his hand before he can even get closer. She tugged at it hard so that he was at eye level with her.

"You got your ass out of here at this moment before things get ugly! And I mean it!"

He sighed frustratedly and looked at her with a frown.

"Fine, but I'll be back Winry, don't you think otherwise."

He got up and got dressed then got out. She sighed and looked down sadly. She still loved him, but she knew it would never be. He hated her, and his stubborn self would never change his mind, she just wished Al could wake up and say the truth.

"Guess I better get on with the day."

She got up and took a shower and got on with her daily routine. She went to see her grandmother's grave then went to the groceries and then did some more automail work. She went outside for a bit and took a walk. When she was near her favorite farm, she noticed a group of people huddled near a building. She asked the nearest woman.

"Excuse me, what's going on?"

"Oh it's a tragedy, a young woman was found in the building, her child missing, and the woman is deceased."

She felt her body grow cold. She had a horrible feeling of who it was. She thanked the woman and then left. She ran until she was in an alley.

"Edward come out you coward! I know you're here!"

She heard a chuckle from the shadows and then he was right on front of her. He smirked and placed his hand on her shoulder, pinning her to the nearest wall.

"So, did you like the little gift I left for you?"

"That was sick and dusgusting Edward, how could you do such a thing?"

"Oh it was easy, all I had to do was kill her."

She glared at him.

"You know what I mean! How could you do that and feel no remorse? Are you that much of a cold heartless asshole?"

"You know the answer to that Winry."

He smirked.

"So you're enough of a bastard to put your own brother into a coma? It wasn't me who did it, it must have been you!"

He shoved her hard and she shut her eyes for a few seconds then opened them to glare at him still while seeing he was seething and ready to do anything crazy.

"How dare you accuse me of that! I would never harm him, it was you who did it! You were stupid enough to harm him, and you're calling me heartless!"

She smirked and then grabbed his hand as it was about to grab her throat. She grabbed it tightly, not enough to hurt him though.

"Edward, I know that I can't harm him, and I know you couldn't either. Don't accuse me of doing something I would rather die before dreaming of, because I loved Al like he was my brother, I would never harm him. And for you to accuse me of it, yes, I do believe you're the heartless one. You've felt my pain, now try to think of all the things you've said to me and try to sleep at night, because I sure as hell have a hard time doing so. I couldn't sleep for a month after he got the sickness. I couldn't sleep for half a year after I found out he was in a coma. And now, I just feel like crap, living each day, hoping it will be my last. I am trying to get help for him, and I don't need you making things worse by kidnapping these children that make me wish I had my old life back and my innocence when we were all three alive and well! I wish you would stop being a child and realize I'm not the enemy!"

She was crying by the time she had finished her paragraph. He was just looking at her, trying to find any hint of a lie. He couldn't, all he could see was tears.

'She's lying, I know it! She never cared, she was always selfish!'

He was debating in his mind trying to find the truth. He was so dead set on the idea that she caused it on purpose, but was he wrong? No, it couldn't be. He was letting her manipulate him again. But then again what had she ever done for herself? What had she not done for the brothers? He couldn't focus his mind and got angry. He then growled in frustration and pounded his fist in the wall next to her head which startled her. She looked at him, his eyes shadowed.

"E-Ed?"

"Winry, I swear, if you're lying, you'll end up looking much, much worse then the woman I killed."

He collapsed into her arms and she hugged him tightly. She let a few tears fall as he cried into her shoulder. They stayed that way for a few long minutes, before he straightened up and wiped his eyes.

"Where is Al at this time?"

He looked down still and then sighed.

"Back to the first hospital, why?"

She smiled. She took his hand and started walking in the direction of his house, carrying the child he had kidnapped.

"Why are we going there?"

"Well, we're returning the child, and then I have something for Al."

He looked at her curiously and followed. He wasn't curious enough not to wait.

A/N: Sorry if it's short, I kinda ran out of ideas. Anyways, R&R! hope you enjoyed!
