Walking back home, more like staggering, was harder than what we both expected. It was cold. We both didn't know where we were going since we were kidnaped. We walked to a rode that was about 3 miles away from the building. "Far enough" I think to myself "at least we found a rode". We see about four cars pass by before we give up and star walking down the rode.

"We're lost aren't we?" I ask Edward.

"No, I know exactly where we are going" he says with a determined look on his face.

"Oh really? Then where are we going?"

"A place" I roll my eyes at him... Its getting dark. We should find a place to stay for the night.

"Edward. We should find some shelter soon, its getting dark" he sighs and looks at the sunset behind us.

"Your right"

We start taking a turn into the woods and come across a cabin. A pretty big one. Strong dark wood surrounds the outside making it a bit ominous and two dark windows in the front.

"This seems fine" Edward says walking up to the house. It doesn't look too bad, so I follow behind him to the cabin. Inside of the cabin was huge. Tall ceilings with wooden pillars and golden paint on the walls. There was a light switch on the side and surprising the switch still worked. A big chandelier in the center of the room turns on and warm light spreads along the entire cabin.

"Wow" I look around in awe. The atmosphere in the cabin was warm and inviting, sleeping here is a good idea. I didn't want to go back out and try to find another cabin in the cold dark so we settle for this one.

"Winry, come look" Edward calls me over to a room. It was a bed room with two beds. "We can sleep in here". I take the bed that was closest to window which was seeping moonlight into the room, and Edward took the bed closest to the door. There was a nightstand in between with a lamp on top. The lamps light was blown out so Edward went to see if he could find a spare bulb, leaving me in the room sitting on the bed. The moon was full and shined like a diamond in the sky, making the snow on the ground sparkle. It was so pretty. The snow caped trees brushed along the bottom of the moon, it was almost like the moon was sitting atop the trees on a blanket of white. Edward enters the room bringing a cold draft.

"Found some" he comes into the room with a box of light bulbs. He walks over to me, sits on the bed and puts his hands around my waist. "What are you thinking about?" he asks.

"If you must know, i'm thinking about who lives here or lived here, and why did they leave."

"This place is most-likely lived in so we should leave at first light tomorrow" he says to me. I agree.

"Okay" a chill runs up my spine and I shiver.

"Speaking of which, we should try and get some sleep" he says.

"Your right" he lays me down and I get under the covers as he tucks me in. He kisses me on the forehead.

"Good night Winry, I love you"

"Love you too, good night" he turns off the lamp light and goes over to his bed.

"NO, PLEASE! DON'T KILL THEM!" I scream as Alphonse and Edward are on their knees, an unknown figure holding onto them, holding their heads up. I look around. Buildings all around, destroyed "I'LL DO ANYTHING, PLEASE! JUST DON'T DO IT". I start to run towards them, tears streaming down my face. I reach out with my arm which was blood stained for some reason, and try too jump in front of them, push them away... Something... Anything to stop this. Edward's golden eyes look at me. What was before a gold that gleamed and shined like the morning sun, now looked muddy and dull, clouded like clouds of ash from a volcano blocking the sun. He smiled.

"Good bye, Winry" Alphonse and Edward say at the same time... There was a flash of light as a sword was dragged across Edward's neck and water was poured onto Alphonse's blood seal on the back of his neck. Blood, warm blood was sprayed on my face, my mouth agape. The irony, thick, red liquid runs down my throat, burning as it went down. I start to claw and crawl toward the both of them as they both slump down, Edward in a pool of his own blood and Alphonse is just a suite of armor, the light from both pairs of their eyes... Gone.

"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!". Just as I start screaming, everything goes black and the setting changed. I was in the cabin, in my bed, but I couldn't stop screaming... It-it was a dream... I feel hands on my shoulders and I come back to reality. It was Edward.

"WINRY! WINRY! SNAP OUT OF IT" he shakes me a bit and I stop screaming.

"Edward?"

"Yes, its me" I hug him, wrapping my hands around his neck and pulling him closer like his body would turn to dust right in front on me. "What happened?"

"It was just a nightmare, its fine" trying to pass it off.

"If it was fine then you wouldn't be clutching my shirt so hard" I realize that my hands where getting sore so I let go. "Winry..." he looks at my face and wipes away tears I had not known that I had let loose. He hugs me tight. "What's wrong?"

"...I had a nightmare where you and Alphonse...Were killed... In front of me" more tears slide down my cheeks like waterfalls. Edward pulls away and looks me in my eyes.

"We are never, ever gonna leave you like that. Never. Got it?" he hugs me again and then stands back up, petting my head with his hand. "Now get some rest, ok? I love you" he says and starts to turn around. "I can't sleep without him by my side? Pathetic" I laugh to myself before I catch his arm.

"Edward. Sleep with me?" I hear myself and chuckle, it sounds ridiculous, but I need it right now. I need him.

"Okay" he says and hops into the bed with me, enveloping his arms around my waist. I think one last thought before I drift off.

"Never let go..."
