Life after the search for the blood red stone
Chapter 5
Midnight of that horrible and confusing day had set. Nothing could be seen out the window of Edward's room, but still he looked out like he could see the dreaded city for miles and knew what he was looking at. He knew that something was going on besides Winry's sudden realization of her feelings for him, something that could not have been made over the phone. Edward started to squirm and feel uncomfortable with anticipation of what the subject could be.
'Al, it has to be Al. Or Granny, if something happened to her then there would be no way that Winry could have explained it over the phone, that the last family she has left. That excluding Al and I but we weren't there for Winry like Granny was. She was there when Winry found out her Mom and Dad was killed in Ishball. Damn… she must have had something to say like that if she had to go against Mustang's orders. All I did was push her away and she probably already is so far down she cant see any light, and I was her last match and I blew it out.' Edward slumped over so he was in a sitting position and through his legs over the side of bed that was facing his window. He looked out one last time to see a break of sunlight creasing over the city.
" I don't have much time." Edward whispered. He grabbed a coat that was on the door. When he put it on he found that it fit him perfectly. He looked down on the coat and saw he surname 'Elric' sewn into a patch on the chest. A flash of memories of the last time this coat was on his back went through his mind. He was with Al transmuting Al's body back to normal and his being sucked the door, until Al found a way to get him back. Ed awaked from his reminiscing when a spark of light hit his face.
"Oh crap, every bodies probably awake now I have to be sneaky." Edward tip toed to the end of the hall and found an open elevator he ran into it and ducked his head out to make sure no doctors or nurses saw him. Sure it'd been a few years since he'd had to run for his safety and make sure no one saw him.
'Just like the old times' Edward thought. ' Sneaking out of the hotel rooms and going to abandoned warehouses. Ahh…. Such joy. Just as Edward was putting his head back through the doors a nurse saw him. "Rut row!" Edward yelped and ducked back in and pushed the down button frantically. Right when the male nurse reached the door it closed right on his face. Edward couldn't help but let out a small breath. He got down to the bottom and the doors opened to the back of the lobby. He snuck past a few bad looking patients and thought he got past any that could harm him in any sort of way. When out of nowhere, are rather small old…o.k. Ed thought she was older than time itself but he isn't he most polite person in the world.
"Hello young man, would you be so kind to-" the woman was cut off by Edwards sudden running out of the hospital like it held the plague, which in some part of the building it probably did. "Damn teenagers…." She said as she shuffled back to her room.
Edward was now half way down the main street and almost to hotel that he thought Winry would be staying at. Considering it was the nicest one, and how could Mustang put a pretty woman like Winry in any place not as good. Edward reached the hotel and some how in no time, like in all fanfics, reached Winry's supposed room. He took a deep breath and shook his head to release all other feelings that he didn't need and took the doorknob in his hand and twisted it pushing open the door. He heard a voice and looked around the corner to see a tiny midget lady lying on the fake, silk, and floral hotel sheets. Wearing a rather profound black corset that stuck very closely to her body. Now she wasn't a very voluptuous girl but she was a midget with curves.
"Are you here to join us? Honey is he here to join?" She asked in a small voice.
"What? I didn't want anyone else, especially a man!" The deep voice that was contained in the bathroom said.
"Oh, then shall I do something about it?" she asked with unexpected excitement.
"Sure, we have time." With that she jumped up and threw herself onto the blonde. Edward just stood there with a rather heavy woman midget hanging on him.
"Come on, you want it don't you?" she asked seductively.
"No I don't. My voice actors a Christian so get off!" Edward said, wondering how he knew that and wondering what a voice actor was. Then the bathroom door open, pouring mist and steam out. They both looked out to see a tall well-built man coming out.
"What the HELL are you doing?" Roy Mustang said with a stern look.
"Um…uh-TURNING YOUR MIDGET SLUT INTO STONE!" With that Edward clasp his hands together and put them forcefully against the midgets chest and ran away letting the now stone midget to break against the ground and Mustang to morn over his now wonderful night lost.
Edward was now surely at the RIGHT door that behind it held Winry. Edward turned the doorknob and pushed yet another door open and reveal… A CLIFFHANGER!
