I wake to Edward shaking me awake. I look outside and see that the sky was a dull blue signaling the waking sun. Its freezing.

"First light, gotta go" he says. I nod my head and slowly move out of bed. I make my bed as well as Edward's bed because he apparently forgot that this is most likely somebody else's house, put on my shoes, and walk out of the room. Suddenly im pulled to the side, a hand over my mouth.

"Shhhhh, shhhh its me, Its Edward" I stop panicking and a wave of relief wash over me like cold waves on a beach in the summer. Edward, my safe haven.

"Edward, what's going on?"

"The people are back"

"What people?"

"The people that own this house"

"Shit" I think to myself "what do we do now?" I look around the corner and see two people standing and talking. One, a tall man with short, messy, dark brown hair and a woman who was shorter that the man by about a foot or so, and had long dirty blonde hair. They where talking about something that had to do with "Eating out" something and "scream" I don't know, I didn't understand what they were saying but they started to walk toward the bedroom door. Edward backed up into the hallway that was behind us and scooted into a room. The room smelled like metal and dust but it was dark so I couldn't see anything. I accidentally back up too far and end up stepping on Edward's toe.

"Oww oww, that was my toe" he whispers loudly.

"Sorry about that" I apologize and take a look outside of the door. The door to the bedroom was opened and creaking noises could be herd.

"Okay then" I think out loud.

"What?"

"They decided to... get it on" I turn to Edward who had shock over his face which faded away quickly.

"Well, know would be a good time to get the hell out of here" I start to creep out of the room slowly in a crouch and crawl on my knees, with Edward following behind. We get to the ajar door, and I hear a creak from behind me. Edward's foot tapped the door.

"God damnit" I hear Edward silently cursed under his breath. The bed stopped creaking.

"You heard that too right?" The male voice says.

"HAUL ASS!" Edward yells and we both get up and run for our lives. I hear loud footsteps following me and Edward only persuading me to run faster. We get to the front door and run outside. Cold bites my face and hands attempting to leave bite marks. We run through trees and I thought we had lost the mysterious person chasing us and pushed him out of my mind. We were walking along the trees, I was freezing.

"Winry are you ok?"

"Yeah, just cold" as soon as I said that I hear the crack of a gunshot ring throughout the forest. I look at Edward, he's fine but he's looking at me with a terrified/shocked look on his face. Just then a burning sensation went all through my side, I look down to see a wet, red spot growing as seconds went by."He shot me" I think as I feel my knees start to give. The world was a blur as I fall to the ground, snow covering me like a cold, wet blanket. Edward runs over to me and picks me up.

"THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR YOU TO DIE ON ME, WINRY! STAY STRONG, STAY WITH ME" as am in his arms, I smile as Edward fades out of my vision.
