💕Edward and Winry💕

💙Beginning chapter 12💙

We followed Akui into the basement until someone stopped us, a woman with long rosy hair, wearing a slinky short gown, came unafraid to talk to us.

The woman asked in a formal tone, "Where are you guys going?" She sniffed, "Gross, someone smells like a man." She moved over to Edward and snapped her fingers, his dress changing into a tuxedo. He blinks twice and immediately says, "What the hell were you thinking? You redhead ass!"

The woman giggles, "I see you don't like dressing like a woman, even though you're cute as one. Also," Her head moves up and down, "you're pretty short for a man. 5'5 right? How ridiculous?"

As Edward frowned and was about to leap at her, I caught him while he shouted, "WHO ARE YOU CALLING SHORT YOU UNGRATEFUL BITCH?!?" Edward finally gave up and said "Look lady, I'm serious, this man "Akui" or "master" as you call him, is dangerous, but it seems you're protecting him, why?"

Her arms are crossed around her waist. "First of all dear, I'm no lady, I'm Lezabel. Second of all everything he's doing right is taking advantage of the women and sucking them up, even for me, my beauty and youth never fade away, you could be just like me." Then she pointed straight at me, "Be his slave, let him control and use you. Akui is everything a woman dreams about. You could have it too honey."
Edward grabbed my arm and whispered, "Don't listen to her Winry." As he looked at her, Edward said, letting go of my arm and positioning his hand on mine. "Are you done yet? I don't want to waste all my time on this nonsense. Women are not toys."
(Does he want me to make a run for it? Never-mind that woman is crazy) Lezabel snapped twice, revealing a secret door. "If you want to see what Master has made for us, then I won't stop you nor fight you, but soon we will meet again and Winry I will show up for you," She smiled as she faded away.
Edward sighs and let go of my hand before walking to the open door, "Another enemy that we gotta deal with."

I sign in relief as I walk near Edward, and I ask, "Do you think she was just playing around?" Edward looked down and saw a spear on the ground, and he squatted down to pick it up. He said, "She seems pretty serious with her "Master" but who knows?" When he stood up, he handed his gun to me and said, "I trust you with it although I am against it, you want to go along so let's go in," He walked in and I followed.

It was so dark that I almost bumped into Ed. He said, "Ouch! Can't you watch where you're going Winry?!" I kicked his leg in response.

"Maybe you should've moved out of my way so I won't bump into you!" I roll my eyes at Edward, looking left and right, and noticing a bright light on the left side of the hallway. "Wrong leg Winry!" he exclaimed.

My fingers trembled as I gripped his hand and whispered, "You want me to kick your other leg to make it hurt?" He smiled at me and said jokingly, "Ooh little Ms.Winry is scaring me, of course not."

We continue to walk, hearing commotion as we go, but some strange odor makes me nauseous.

My mouth is covered, while Edward covers his nose with his hand. "It smells like blood and rotting people." I stop and rest my hands on my knees, looking down. "I-I think I'm going to barf."

(I didn't want to go much farther because the smell was disgusting) I pulled myself together and stood up, Edward glanced at me then looked away blushing, "Come on, we are almost there."

We heard commotion throughout the tunnel as we neared the light and saw many women screaming for help in a cage, holding onto the bars, shaking, kicking, and screaming for help.

Edward and I shockingly looked at them, for they were naked, covered in bruises, and some of them were badly injured. Edward rushed to them and tried to open the bars fast, but it was impossible.

His head tilted to the right, and he threw up on the ground before wiping his mouth with his hand and marking a circle with his spear, finishing the circle by adding symbols within the circle.

I said, "Edward, I thought your Alchemy was gone?" He looked at me, "Al gave me a few tips," He said slapping his hands on the ground, the bars finally broke.

As I rush in, I check to see if anyone requires medical assistance.

A female child began eating raw meat, pulling and snapping bones with her hands, as the blood streamed through my feet; I turned left and right, and both dead and alive looked empty and used, so I grasped at my stomach tightly.

My shoulders slumped, "I've got to pull myself together," I said to myself. "H-Hey, are you all right?" I asked quietly, but the child remained silent.

Edward said, "This bastard taking these women and children like this it's disgusting. Winry can you take care of these women and children. I'm going to open the other cages. Do you think you could do that?" I stood and turned to him and nodded.

I watched him walk towards me and lean over, placing his hand over my head and kissing my forehead, "Be careful."
