Winry sat with Ed on the huge stone balcony out side. Their feet dangled on the edge of the balcony. Al told Ed he would take Lilly out for a while in the woods to pick flowers and show her around while he and Winry talked. Lilly had no idea that Al was destracting her so she was excited to go. Al and Lilly left, leaving Ed and Winry....alone.

"So...How have you been Winry?" Ed asked looking at the ground far below.

"Stop hopping around the subject, Edward. Cut to the chase. Better yet, I will." Winry took a deep breath and looked at Ed. He looked up at her to meet her eyes. "What do you really feel for me?"

"Winry, I...." Ed stoped and looked away.

"LOOK AT ME, DAMN IT!" Winry screamed. Ed's face snapped to her's. She was almost in tears. "I deserve to know how you feel towards me. It's not fair that I have to watch you look at her and not know how you truly feel for me. I want to know if there is anything there for us. I have to know or I'm not leaving untill you tell me!" Winry demanded. "So stop stalling and spit it out!"

"All right, Winry." Ed looked like he was in pain but knew that this would hurt Winry more than him. He looked down again. "I'm in love with Lilly. I have been since her powers have changed. That's what triger them. I think that Lilly likes me too, but I also have a feeling that she may love me like I do her. I did like you once but when I meet Lilly and got to know her, she was someone I wanted to be with. I'm sorry if this upsets you."

Ed looked towards Winry and saw that she was crying silently. Winry's shoulders were shaking and she started to shake her head in a 'no' manner. It was as if she was telling Ed he was lieing. She stood up and turned away from him. Ed got up and walked behind her. He placed his hand on her shoulder and she moved him away.

"Please, let me at least comfort you or do something."

I feel in love with him. I waited for him to come home. I worry ever night about his safty. I wanted to be the one he loved. I wanted him to feel the same way back, but he was always away. I never got a chance. It's all her fault. She took him from me. I won't let her take him so easly!

Winry ran pass Ed and back inside to her room. Ed reached for her as she ran but decided to give her space.

< br> Lust and her two groupies walked along the edge of the forest on a cold dark night. Envy caught something out of the corner of his eye.

"We have company." He said.

A dark figure came out of the shadows and into view. Envy and Gluttony charged but Lust stoped them.

"What would you be out here for? Don't you know it's not safe for little girls to be alone in the forest at this time of the night? Something might eat you." She said looking at Gluttony who was licking his lips.

"I want to make a deal with you." The person said.

"Make a deal with us? What could we possible want from you? Winry, was it?"

"Yes, that's my name. But I have something you want and all you need to do is take it." Winry said.

"You mean the girl? We can't get near her. She will fry us with her shield."

"Not if you give me one of those braclets that keeps her in check."

"She broke the last one."

"All you have to do is give it to me and I will twick it and it will adjust to her new powers like she never had other ones."

"Why would you help us? What do you want?"

"Let's just say she has something I want and I can't get it untill she is out of the picture. But in order for this to work, I want a few things from you."

"There is always a catch. I say we take her hostage and tell that short beanstock to hand the girl over or we will kill this one." Envy said.

"What do you want?" Lust said completely ignoring Envy.

"You give me the braclet and I will do my part. All you have to do is come get her, but I don't want you to kill her or harm her. If something should happen to her, the deal is off. Ed told me that all you want from her is the stone, but she can't live without it so you take her and force her to make you human then let her go. But take her somewhere far from here. I don't want her anywhere near her again. Is it a deal?"

"We aren't aloud to harm her!?! What kind of deal is that!?!" Evny yelled.

"It's a deal." Lust said.

"What?!?"

"Do you want to be human or not!?!" Lust yelled at Envy.

Envy gave Lust a cold stare as Lust shook Winry's hand. Winry smiled and knew that this was the perfect plan.

As long as Lilly isn't harmed, she will be fine. And she will be fine on her own once they take her far away. Al thought her everything and I'm sure that she will be fine. It's not like she is totally helpless. She will find a new home and will forget all about Ed.

Lilly woke up feeling sick. She got up and walked over to the window. She peered out the streched. Then something caught her eye. She was wearing a braclet just like the one before. She tryed to get it off but it didn't work. She couldn't use her powers.
Lilly screamed and she tryed clawing it off and blood came from her rist. Ed and Al busted in as Lilly screamed and clawed her rist.

"Lilly stop it! Your hurting yourself! Stop it!" Ed yelled as he fought to pulled her hands apart.

"Not again! Not again! Get it off!" Lilly screamed.

"Lilly stop fighting! Stop!"

Ed pulled her hands away from eachother and embraced her. Lilly bawled but stoped fighting. Ed held her close as Winry came in the door way. She watched Ed hold Lilly with a blank face.

"I'll go get some bandages and tell Mustang about the braclet." Al yelled running pass Winry.

"How the hell did it get on you last night? No one was reported being seen on the grounds. How did they get in here and why did they just put the braclet on you and not just take you?" Ed mumbled.

Winry walked away and smiled to herself. She did feel a little bad about doing this to Lilly, but she had to do it. She wanted to be with Ed and the only way she could do that was get Lilly out of the way.

------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lilly sat on the grass looking at the flowers she had grow herself a few days ago. Ed and Al walked up to her and Ed placed a hand on her shoulder.

"It's not fair. I was so happy with my new powers. I could do so many things."

Tears still fell from her eyes.

"We will be taking her now, Full Metal."

The three of them snapped their heads up to see Lust and her two followers. Lilly got up and Ed pulled her behind him and Al.

"When will you ever give up?!" Ed yelled. "This always happens and you always get you asses kicked! Do you want some more?"

"We will win this time, because we know that she has no defence." As Lust said this the men dressed in black came out. "Get the girl!"

Winry came rushing out of the Headquarters. Right on time! Just as she was about to go back in, the rest of the State Alchemist came out.

"Protect Lilly!" Mustang ordered.

Winry watched Alchemic power fly left and right. She didn't expect it to be this bad. She only wanted them to take Lilly and leave. She didn't want anyone else involved. Ed let out a cry as Lust twisted his left arm behind him.

"Ed!" Winry screamed. I don't want anyone to get hurt!

Winry ran towards him but was caught off guard when a man dressed in black jumped in front of her with a huge knife. He lundged at her.

"Winry!!!!!" Lilly screamed.

Before anyone could react, Lilly jumped in the way of the knife and pushed Winry out of the way. Lilly was stabed in the back.

She...she saved me! I used her and she saved me. I'm so stupid. I'm so sorry Lilly....

Everyone stoped fighting. Lust called her men back and said there was no use in having her now that she was dieing. They needed her alive to use the stone. Ed ran to Lilly and fell to his knees beside her. He lifted her into his lap. Winry stood up and everyone gather around Lilly and Ed.

I'm so sorry Lilly...

"Get the damn doctor!" Mustang ordered as a few men started to run inside.

Lilly looked up at Ed. She was crying and in alot of pain.

"Is...Winry...alright?" Lilly asked.

She's worried about me? She's dieing. What have I done!?!

"Yeah....she's fine." Ed said as his eyes started to burn with tears. "Your not though."

Lilly sat up with Ed's help and leaned her chest against his.

"Lilly, don't move. Your losing blood."

"Just hold me." Ed help her close to him. "I'm dieing. I can feel it."

"No your not, your going to be just fine." Ed protested and let his tears fly. "You can't die on me. I need you here."

"It hurts.....it hurts so much."

"Don't talk."

"I'm scared, Ed. You said dieing is part of life,but you never said it would hurt or it was scary."

"Your not dieing. Stop saying that." Where the hell is the doctor? I can't carry her to him without her losing too much blood for movement. I don't know what to do. "Don't be scared. I'm right here."

"Ed...I have to go now..."

"Stop it...your not going anywhere." Ed protested.

Lilly used the last bit of her strength to look at him.

"I...love...you...Edward..."

Before Ed could say anything, Lilly had pressed her lips on his. Ed closed his eyes and kissed back. Lilly tryed to hold on but let go of Ed and fell into his arms. Lilly died in his arms.

"Lilly....please...no..."

Ed's tears drowned his vision. Her pulled her lifeless body to him. Just as he embrassed her, Her body began to dissappear.

"What's happening to her? What's going on?"

Lilly's body slowly fadded from his arms. Ed held her closer. I can't let her go! I didn't even get to tell her I love her back! This can't be happening! Lilly's body completely disappeared and nothing was left. Ed looked at his empty arms and saw nothing but Lilly's blood on his stained clothes. Ed's tears got heavyer. He felt like he had his heart riped from him. Suddenly, he felt somthing in his left hand. He slowly opened it and stood up.

"No..."

Al walked up to him, also crying, and peered at Ed's hand. There lied the Philosopher Stone.

"Brother, Lilly gave up her body to give you the Philosopher Stone." Al said.

"No, Al, she gave it to us. Thank you, Lilly..." Ed whispered.

I failed to protect you and you payed the the price with your life. I promise to you that I will bring you back, Lilly. I will bring you home and if that means I have to sacrific myself, then I will...
