Chapter 4

Is the truth really what you want?

"Okay, you win."

SCORE

"…But Ed, there's just one thing; Envy-"

Winry felt like she was choking on her words, she was barely able to get the rest of her sentence out; she felt yet another tear roll down her cheek.

"Envy wasn't the one who stabbed me."

"Ed, Envy didn't stab me." Yet another tear rolled down her check.

"You did." Ed's heart stopped. He couldn't even process what Winry had just said. He had stabbed her? He had stabbed Winry? He Edward Elric had stabbed his best friend Winry Rockbell? The girl he loved, he had attempted to kill her? There was just no way, it must have been Envy, it had to have been.

"Please Ed, I don't understand what is happening, I know you would never try to hurt me; that it wasn't you, it can't have been. I just don't understand how someone looked just like you. "

Ed looked up and slowly thought through what to say to her, he now understood why she had been so freaked out by him when she woke up from her nightmare. It was like she knew he was someone different than the thief that stole his identity and tried to kill her, but the sight of him; the memory was just too much for her to bear in that moment. Then it hit him that he and Al had never really explained much to Winry about Envy, or any of the Homunculi, or anything at all for that matter. All this time he thought keeping her in the dark meant keeping her safe, when really it just made everything so much worse.

"Winry, that wasn't me, I need you to know that was not me, I would NEVER hurt you." Ed's voice sounded desperate, he needed Winry to believe him, he couldn't handle her thinking that he had tried to kill her.

"I know Ed, I knew it wasn't you. I don't understand how someone looked just like you, but I knew straight away that it wasn't you."

"Ah Winry…how did you know? How did you know it wasn't me?" Ed knew this wasn't really an important issue right now but he wanted to know, he needed to know.

"I could see it in his eyes, your eyes are kind and compassionate, his well-" Winry shuddered just at the thought of it.

"His eyes were full of hatred, they were pure evil." It pained Winry to explain what had happened, but she knew Ed wouldn't leave her alone until she told him everything, he deserved to know everything.

Winry took a deep breath and started at the best place she could think of, the beginning.

"Okay Ed I'll tell you, but please sit down your making me nervous." Ed nodded and sat on the end of Winry's bed.

"Okay well, I was making some dinner for granny and I and I needed some more carrots so granny went to the markets. The front door was unlocked, because it always is just in case…well just in case you boys ever come home." Winry blushed a little but decided rather quickly that now wasn't the time.

"I heard a sudden noise from the door and turned around to investigate but there was nothing there. When I turned around to continue chopping I saw that the knife was gone. I just thought I had knocked it on the floor. So I searched the floor, I was crawling on the floor when I saw a pair of legs and looked up to see those legs belonged to you-" Winry took a deep breath, the story slowly getting harder and harder for her to complete.

"I stood up and went to give you a hug when I noticed you, holding the knife. You had a horrible look in your eye I don't know how but somehow I knew it wasn't you. I asked who the hell they were and they just smiled at me and said that surely I couldn't of figured it out that easily. They said that I had to suffer, so that you would suffer without saying anything else- they lunged at me with…with the knife-" Winry was trying her best to hold back her tears, she had to stay strong this was killing Ed she could see it in his eyes, but he had to know the truth; he wanted to know.

"I fell to the floor and asked why someone would do this and all they said was that their sacrifices needed to learn to behave, I would of bled to death if Mustang hadn't come in right away. Apparently he had received word that some criminal named Envy was spotted in Risembool and he and Riza thought they would come and check up on me while here and I'm…I'm lucky they did. They found me and brought me straight to the hospital and that's all I remember, then I woke up here." Winry let out a deep breath; glad that the horrible story was over, it was hard enough to live the first time, but to have to say it and relive it again had drained her.

Winry had had enough, Ed could tell. He just stared at her; he didn't know what to say or how to react. All he knew was he was grateful that Mustang and Riza had found her when they did or she could be dead. Ed was furious, furious that someone would take his identity and try to kill Winry.

"Winry, Envy was the one who stabbed you, Envy is what we call a Homunculus and he can take the form of anyone he chooses; kind of like a shape shifter." Ed couldn't lie to her anymore, he told her everything about the homunculi, he explained all he knew about being a sacrifice, but honestly he didn't know much about it himself. It took him a while, but eventually he had told her everything he could. It wasn't fair to keep her in the dark any longer; she needed to know. It took him about half an hour to explain everything but when he had finished he could see the relief on her face and then he was sure he had done the right thing.

"Ed, I'm glad you finally told me everything-" her words started to slur and her eyes began to grow heavy.

"You were always my best friend and no matter how short you are you always will be-" her head started to droop down, the machine connected to her indicating her heart action started to slow down; Ed started to panic.

"Winry, don't you fall asleep on me now, Winry are you listening to me?" Ed's voice was full of fear and Winry could hear it. Ed jumped of the end of her bed and walked to her side grabbing her shoulders and shaking her ever so lightly.

"Winry don't you dare." The machine continued to slow down.

Beep….Beep….Beep….Beep…Beep.

Winry slowly looked and Ed and smiled the best she could. Her face was pale and her eyes began to look lifeless.

"Thanks…. for everything Ed…I always…lov…"

Beep…beep…..

Winry's head dropped and her eyes closed, but Ed refused to believe it. He starting shaking her more violently.

"Winry….WINRY…don't you dare give up on me….WINRY!" tears were screaming down his face, there was no way he was going to let her die before he had the chance to hear the rest of that sentence; there was no way in hell he was going to let her die before telling her he loved her too.

Suddenly Ed felt a pair of hands on his arms pulling him back, pulling him away from his best friend. He turned to fight off whoever dared interrupt him. As he was being pulled away he continued screaming at Winry the tears now flowing down his cheeks he was reaching out for her, trying desperately to get back to her side.

"Let go of me you damn bastard! What the hell do you think you your doing? Winry! Open your eyes! Damn it this is all my fault! I'm so sorry Winry! WINRY!" That was it this bastard needed to let go of him Ed clapped his hands getting ready to attack when suddenly his body went limp. Ed fell to the floor and his eyes began to grow heavy, they starting closing slowly as his vision began to blur; he could hear voices, but couldn't completely make out what they were saying.

"She can't continue like this…. We may be able to stabilize her….. If this girl is going to have any chance in surviving the next 5 hours we need doctor Marko… Now"

Ed's eyes grew heavier, Marko they needed Marko. Ed caught a quick glimpse at the man who had pulled him away from Winry. It was a tall man with black hair wearing a military uniform. No doubt about it that was Mustang; that bastard. Ed's eyes became too heavy for him to keep open anymore he slowly slipped away to his dreams.

Mustang slowly knelt next to the blonde haired boy that now lay unconscious on the floor. "I'm sorry Elric, but it had to be done."

Ohhhhhh pooor Ed
