Ch. 7

Brother, Are You Ok?

Central- Ed and Al's room

Ed transmuted some nearby materials into a blade and cut Lust's fingers before they touched Al's blood seal.

" Why you little brat!"

Lust's fingers quickly grew back and she extended them but this times toward Ed.

" Brother!"

Lust's fingers went deeply into his left shoulder and he was pinned against the wall. Envy walked over to him and gave him a good punch in the stomach. Blood trickled down from his lip and shoulder now. " Pathe--" Lust began before she realized what Ed was doing. He transmuted another blade from more materials and cut Lust's fingers once more. " C'mon Al!" With that he threw the blade into Lust's chest.

" No you don't pip--" He was cut off from his face being connected with Al's fist and he went flying back to the back wall. Ed looked to Al and smiled before they were both out the door.

" Damn that kid!" Envy said as he got up and dusted himself off. Lust put her hand up to her chest and took the blade out. " I know. That kid can be a little pain in the ass."

Central- River

" Why did you lead us to the river, Brother?"

" I to--" Ed collasped down on the floor holding onto his left shoulder in pain.

" Brother, are you ok?" Al said as he quickly kneeled down next to Ed.

" Winry...is...by...that...tree over there," he managed to say as he pointed a weak finger towards a nearby tree. Al nodded and picked Ed up.

" What... are you doing?"

" I'm going to go to where Winry is and then i'll take you to the hospital."

" What? I... don't...want her seeing me like...this."

" Well you don't want Winry to be by herself all alone where she can be in danger, do you?"

Ed's eyes widened and he shouted, " What are you waiting for Al! Let's get a move on!"

" I knew that would work," Al said as he chuckled a bit.

They arrived to the tree where Ed said Winry was. They were welcomed with a nice smile.

" Hey guys."

" Hey Winry."

" Hey," Ed said weakly.

" Ed! What happened to you!"

" Long...story."

" We need to get you to a hospital!"

Central- Hospital

" Well Mr. Elric, second time this week. I'm impressed," the doctor said as he showed them to the room Ed could stay at. Winry had Ed's arm lay over her neck as she helped him walk and keep his balance. He let a little laugh escape from his mouth at the doctor's comment. " Well, only you would be doctor."
