I screamed as I saw Riza collapse to the ground in front of me. My eyes widened as I noticed the blood pooling under her body and the hole created by the gun shot.

"No!" I shouted, falling to my knees pressing my hands down on the wound, in an attempt to slow the bleeding. "Please god, no." I whispered, tears streaming down my face.

Ed looked over at me, losing all color in his face as the shooter next pointed his gun at me. "No!" He shouted, running towards me.

I looked up as I saw May roundhouse kicked the shooter. He stumbled backwards and growled as he grabbed May's wrist as she tried to punch him and threw her against the wall.

Al jumped into save the day and kicked the man, making him fall backwards, into the window shattering the glass, and out of the house.

As soon as he was gone, the yelling grew louder and I felt my hands being pried away from Riza's body. "I'm going to be fine, don't worry about me Winry." I heard her whisper hoarsely.

I looked down at her and smiled as hot tears flowed down my face, staining my cheeks. I nodded as Roy took her body into his arms, running out of the room and down the hallway. Followed quickly by Al who was carrying May's unconscious form in his arms.

I felt an arm wrap around my shoulder and another slip underneath my knees. I looked up and saw Ed's face, contorted with worry and anger. I wrapped my arms around his neck tightly and began to sob uncontrollably. His grip on me tightened as he lifted me from the ground and carried me out of the room.

When Ed began loosening my grip from around his neck I just held on tighter and looked up into his eyes and pleaded, "Please don't leave me alone, please."

His eyes met mine and I saw defeat. "I'll stay with you… but let me change first." I loosened my grip around him and let him leave the room.

While Ed went to change I quickly stripped myself all clothing replacing it with a sapphire blue spaghetti strap tank-top and black fuzzy shorts. I quickly got back into bed and curled up into a ball under the covers facing away from the door.

I felt the bed shift as Ed climbed in next to me. I could feel the heat radiating off of his body and I turned around so I was facing him and slowly started moving closer towards him. I gently placed my arm on his chest, placing my hand near his left shoulder and laid my head on his chest. At that moment I realized he was shirtless.

I closed my eyes not caring and just curled up next to Ed as tears fell from my eyes as I thought about what had just happened earlier that night.

Ed wrapped and arm around my waist and pulled me tight against him. He kissed the top of my head and whispered something but I didn't register it because I was already falling asleep in his warm embrace.

- A few hours later -

I woke screaming from a nightmare of what had just happened to Riza. I started sobbing a felt strong arms wrap around my shoulders.

"Winry calm down!" Ed whispered. He gently shook me and lifted my head so my eyes could meet his. "Your safe here Winry, you don't need to worry. Everyone here told you they'd help you and you need to trust their instincts. They want to help you. What happened with Riza is no biggy. They just grazed her. It didn't actually do a lot of damage.

I nodded and just hugged him. "It's still all my fault. I don't even know what they want! They think I have some jewel and they really want it." I whispered against his neck.

"We'll figure it out Win, just let us protect you. Let ME protect you Winry." He said pushing me away to look me in the eyes.

When I met his eyes I was overwhelmed. Had they always been such a smoldering gold? He had such a determined look and some other feeling I couldn't pin down. I just nodded, "Alright… thank you Edward."

We laid back down and I almost instantly started falling asleep. But right before I fell into my sleep, I swear I heard him say, "Your welcome my angel. I'd do anything for the one I love." But I was probably just imagining it.
