💕Edward and Winry💕

💙Beginning chapter 13💙

Obviously, Edward wanted to say something to me, I blushed and looked at him with concern, "Are you sure you can make it on your own?"

The voice of a lurking rang out as Mustang and Armstrong walked in. "Edward, I'm sure you'll need our help," they said

I watch as Edward steps away from me and walks to Mustang while Armstrong walks close to me. "You are so bold Winry, helping people out is so admirable. Let me help you get them out of here." 

The children latched on to me as he extended his hand to lend me a hand, "I promise not to leave you guys." I patted each child's head softly, (poor kids, they seem to have been trapped since childbirth, without food, without anything).

I nodded at Armstrong, turned to them, and said, "Anyone in need of assistance, Mr. Armstrong will carry you. I will assist you if you're not comfortable." I ripped off my dress in the center, to support or help the women in pain.

Mustang and Edward have already sought out Akui. Meanwhile, Armstrong and I are helping women and children get from the basement to the ballroom, while Armstrong is already evacuating everyone to leave immediately.

Warrant officers and medical personnel rush in, helping the women and children, "I'm going to Edward-" I quickly said by mistake as Armstrong unexpectedly grabbed my hand, "No, I can't let you do that, I think you should stay here," He said.

When I turned around to him and he placed the ring on my palm, he smiled and said, "I'm sure Edward will be fine." As I began to browse through the entries, I whispered to myself, "I hope so."

While Edward and Mustang are hunting for Akui, Mustang asks, "You sure you don't want to stay back with Winry?"

Across the elbows of Edward, he expressed his agreement, "Yeah sure, Winry is tough, she doesn't need me, and I will beat that guy to a pulp. Did you find anything out about him?" Edward asked.

"Yes in fact," Mustang said as he pulled out a Bible and opened it, "it's all in here, Satanic, mankind and woman sacrifice by using their youth." As Edward's hand rested on his chin, he whispered softly, "Humankind huh?"

After hearing a laugh from the hallway, Mustang and Edward ran in, busting the door open. They discovered six women tied together in a circle and another woman in the middle of the circle.

Edward went to the right of the circle and saw Clara lying on the floor unconscious; he got down immediately and checked for a pulse (she was still alive).

Edward looked up and saw Akui standing above him while Mustang was about to snap his hand; Akui grabs Mustang's wrist and squeezes it.

"We can make a pack, my friend, together we will make all the women bow down to us and make them beg for mercy, taking advantage of their youth. You and Edward can be a part of this too; together, we can-," he said.

Edward quickly ran up to Akui and punched him in the face with full force, sending him flying high off the ground and slamming to the floor. Edward yelled and jumped, "STRIKE!"

While Akui replicated himself and attempted to dropkick Edward, Mustang managed to stop him with his arm. "Shit," He said.
When Edward launched the spear at Mustang, Mustang caught it at the last second and stabbed Akui in the stomach. While Mustang was doing so he snapped at the spear, the flames spread from the spear and burned his stomach. Akui screamed.
Edward drew a circle on the floor and drew another symbol in the center as he slapped his hands on the ground and trapped Akui with full-metal wrap around him.

"Wow that was really easy" Edward wipes his hands and walks towards Akui, bending down in front of him, while Mustang is helping the women escape.

"Tell me Akui, how does it feel to be caught up in this tyranny of humanity that is used for saving innocent people, it's disgusting for you people who think the world revolves around God and this nonsensical human conflict," Edward said, Akui turned his head and asked, "Women are supposed to be controlled by man, so why should I get the benefit of this and not a woman?"

Edward grins and said, "It's not my style to harm human beings unless they are disgusting people like you, women are not toys or animals, they have rights and deserve respect not despair and mercy, one thing, how did you find Clara?"

Akui chuckled and said, "You have no right rambling about women needing that type of treatment, I am telling them what they want and not telling you, if you ask Clara she is perfectly fine, she can stay like this and she does not care what you think anymore. She won't recognize herself as she's been used up and now is a worthless being because of mankind. I can talk to her like I want and she listens like she's a puppy just broken."

Edward grinds his teeth and makes a fist out of his left hand, punching his face repeatedly, "Damn it, damn it!"

Akui laughs as Edward keeps punching him, and blood gushes onto his cheek with every punch. Mustang grabs hold of his hand and pulls Edward to the ground. "It's done Edward, I'd continue too, but," Mustang glanced at Edward.

"This is exactly what he wants, the medic should arrive, take the girl and deftly go back to the hotel," said Mustang, Edward nodded and approached Clara, then bowed down to her.

(Clara is still unconscious) He carries her on his back and goes back. I ran up to Edward, hugging him, and shouting "Edward!"

Upon seeing him, my heartbeat so fast I couldn't breathe. I placed my hand on his cheek and pressed it against his cheek in a passionate kiss. I then backed away blushing.

He smiled and said "Winry." I saw the head move up to Edward's neck, and I jumped to my feet in confusion. "Uh? Who is that?!" I said, raising my eyebrows.

Edward clears his voice, "it's Clara that was with Akui at the ball, I thought I'd bring her with us to the hotel, to gather more information." As I turned away from him, I said, "Okay, we'll go back to the hotel now, Armstrong is taking us," I turn my head at him and stick out my tongue at him.

"Hey mistress," the Warrant officers said, and the Medicals all bowed down to me and said together, "thank you so much miss." I shockingly jumped backward and laughed awkwardly, rubbing my head, "No problem guys!" (I feel a little embarrassed, but it was awful down there and I hope the women and the children can heal slowly, they are survivors, not victims)

Edward hollers out, "Winry are you coming?" I shake my head and walk to the car, then turn and weave back.
