Chapter 8: The haunted house
Everyone heard Winry scream and ran upstairs.
"Riza, what happened?" Roy asked. "We heard Winry scream."
A milk covered Ed came up behind him. Riza could barely contain her giggles.
"Yeah, Riza; What happened to Winry? Where is she?" asked a worried, but still angry Ed.
"For someone who really wants to scare her, you seem awfully worried about her," Roy pointed out.
Ed stuck out his tongue at Roy. Roy stuck his tongue out at Ed.
"We heard Winry scream," said Al as he and Maes came up the stairs.
"She fell down there," Riza said, pointing at the hole.
"We're all here," Ed said. "So what caused her to scream?" He got down on his knees and hollered, "Winry, are you ok?!"
"E-Edward! You were right; this place is haunted!"
"What do you mean?"
"There's something down here…!"
"What is it?" asked Maes.
"I don't know," whimpered Winry. "It has red eyes. I think it's a demon!"
"A demon?" Ed rolled his eyes. Then he muttered, "You've got to be kidding me." Sighing, he yelled, "O...k.. Stay right there, Winry. I'll come down and get you." Ed jumped down in to the hole.
"Ed!" Al cried, scared for his brother.
They ran downstairs.

"A puppy? We were scared of a stupid damn mongrel?" growled Roy.
Ed sat in a corner, dark clouds forming over his head.
Winry and Riza just sat there, totally pissed off.
"He's cute," said Al petting the puppy.
"Oh that's right," Maes laughed nervously. "We forgot to tell you. This place was never really haunted. The woman died of cancer."
Everyone except Al, glared at him.
"MAES!!!"
"Don't hit me…!"
"Oh we'll do more than hit you… we'll beat the shit out of you!!"
"Owwww.. Al help me…"
"Hey Winry?"
"Yes, Al?"
"This puppy is missing a leg…so…"
Winry smiled. "Of course. I'll take care of that."
