Chapter 3: Winry's Nightmare

Winry coughed as she opened up her eyes. " It seems you've awaken." A woman said. Where was she? " Aren't you Lust?" Winry asked. Lust laughed.

" I see the young and short alchemist told you about us. Well, aren't you Winry, the pretty little innocent mechanic? You know every time we brought you up, his face got softer…

Winry turned crimson. Why were they even having this conversation? " Envy, she's awake." Lust said. Envy? Was he apart of this too? Envy suddenly appeared and he smirked. ' Envy…What are you doing here?" Winry asked. She remember how much pain he put Ed and Al in. It only took a few minutes and Winry developed undying hatred for Envy.

" Hmmm, I see that you know me, wench. Pay no attention to us, soon enough, you will die." Envy said, smirking even more.

" What are you talking about? I don't know if anyone will come to save me, but someone will stop you!" She threatened. " Don't waste your breath. You think we'll be stopped? Nobody even knows you're gone. Besides a mechanic is easy enough to replace." Lust replied.

Winry's lips curved into a smile. She didn't believe one word they said. Sure, she did doubt the Elric brother would come to her rescue. They had other important things to do, like getting their bodies back. That was more important than childhood friends.

" Whatever. You can't scare me. Mechanics are easily replaced. But I'm an AUTOMAIL mechanic and Ed or Al will come, if they don't they got poor maintenance." Winry said, smirking.

Envy then replied," You listen here, girl. They don't even know you're gone. Besides, do you remember what your friends are searching for?"

Winry knew. The Philosopher's Stone. The stone that would give Ed and Al's bodies back. " The Philosopher's Stone. So what?" Winry asked.

She had no idea what their intentions were but she didn't care. As long as they got their bodies back, she was happy.

Envy laughed, cupping her chin, forcing her to look up at him and said," You just don't get it, do you? Don't be stupid. By the way, pipsqueak talked, you're really intelligent to be an auto mail mechanic. That boy and his little brother is indeed searching for the stone. But we finally know how to get it." Winry gasped. What?

If they knew where the stone was, they would use it to become human. She couldn't let that happen! Edward and Alphonse, they needed their bodies back!

" Well, where is it, you bastard?" She yelled.

Tears ran down her cheeks and she felt so cold and lonely, without the Elric brothers. She had never used foul language in her life. Ed was such a bad influence…

" What do you think, Lust?" Envy asked. Lust laughed and said," My dear. Don't you understand? You're the key to making the stone…"

She couldn't be! Didn't you have to sacrifice tons of people in order to make the stone?

" Whatever! Everyone knows, in order to make the stone, you have to sacrifice more than one person. Don't even try to lie to me. I'm not stupid." Winry said.

Envy laughed even hard and replied," Winry. Winry. Remember that gate that they boys lost their bodies to? Equivalent Exchange. We are giving you in exchange for the Philosopher's Stone. Yeah, you could sacrifice a lot of humans but that wouldn't bring as much pain to the brothers like we want. You're the most important thing to them, and we want to see them in pain. So we're sacrificing you!"

Winry couldn't believe this. Was this…true? Was she really going to die?

" One cannot gain anything without sacrifice. To gain something, an equivalent price must be paid. If we want to gain that stone, we need to give something in return. I think you're a good exchange." Lust explained.

" Edward. Alphonse." She whispered, sadly.

" You know what will be even better? The boys watching their dear childhood friend die right in front of their eyes." Envy suggested.

Lust agreed. " Rest, girl. In due time, those little state alchemist will come to save you but they won't know that you're already dying on the inside. In a matter of time, your body will be sacrificed." Then they both slowly disappeared.

The door to the room, busted open and there he stood. Edward.

" Ed?" Winry yelled, through tears. " Winry?" Ed yelled as he saw his best friend in chains.

" Edward!" Winry screamed as she sat up, fast. She was shaking and sweat poured down her body. There was something on her skin. It was burning her skin off. She cried in pain as blood started to pour out of her skin.

" Winry?!" Edward yelled, busting her door open and running into her room. He froze. Blood. That's all he saw. " It hurts so much! It burns! Get it off!" She yelled in pain.

Edward grabbed her wrists and she cried out in pain. He let her go, as he felt the warm blood stained his metal and flesh hands.

" Winry! It's just me!" He yelled looking into her terrified, but painful eyes. She was in so much pain. He could tell. She kept backing away, crying. " Winry. Please, it's ok. I'm here. Wait, stop, don't take another step…." He warned but she did. She took that step and fell backwards out of her window.

She screamed and the only words she could hear was, " WINRY!"

She knew she was going to die. She closed her eyes but cried in pain again, as she felt Edward grab her wrists and upper arms. " Winry!" She looked up to see Edward looking into her eyes.

" Winry! I got you! Just hold on!" Edward said.

" P-Please. Just let me die! They'll come and kill me anyways." She screamed.

" NO, THEY WON'T! I WON'T LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO YOU, WINRY!"

" Brother, wha-" Al stopped short as he saw what was going on. " Al! She's slipping!" Ed yelled. You could see tears fixing to fall from his eyes and Al nodded. He grabbed his brother by the waist and started to pull.

" Almost there…Al. Just a bit more!" Al yelled. Winry sobbed. " Please, let me die!" She yelled.

" NO!" Ed yelled as he pulled her into the room. She fell on top of him and he sighed in relief. " Winry…" Al said, in shock. " What in the world?" PInako asked coming in. She stopped her walking and grew pale. " AL! GO GET SOME BANDAGES!" She ordered. " Put her on the bed, Ed!" She demanded.

He obeyed.

He laid her on the bed and in a few short minutes, her wounds were under bandages and she was on the verge of unconscious.

" Winry, stay with me."

She opened her eyes wider and winced at the pain as she tried to take Ed's hand.

" Don't do anything. Do you know what happened?" He asked.

He was more than shocked. He had never seen so much blood from Winry in his life.

" I…It was some dream. Those people you fight. Envy and Lust…" She started and he stood up fast, knocking his chair down. " What?" He yelled.

" Envy and Lust….they had me. I guess they kidnapped me or something….but…they said….nobody was coming for me…because nobody knew I was gone…it was terrible….Envy grabbed me and told me….that I was….going to be exchanged for the stone….at the gate. He called it, equivalent exchange. I really…don't know what that means…but he said that they were…going to….kill me…right in front of you and Alphonse…." She explained.

His face was ghostly pale and his fists were clenching in anger. What are they planning? Why were they giving Winry these dreams? Wait, it could be something that Winry is afraid of. Usually when someone has a fear, they dream it. But her skin, it was peeling off. Blood doesn't appear while you dream….

" Winry…get some sleep. It was just a dream, after all. I'll even stay here with you, so you don't have to be scared."

She fell asleep with a smiled on her face.
