Chapter 1 Chapter 10 Masterlist

Chapter 9

Winry opened her eyes and looked at him, confused as to why he pulled back. Did he not want this? Did he not feel the same way? Was it her? Had she completely misread the situation? When they got to shore she would ask.

"Is everything okay?" She asked, when they got off the boat, upset. He couldn't make eye contact with her. She'd definitely done something wrong. He snapped out of his thoughts.

"Huh? Oh yes. Uh, yes of course. I just...I'm sorry, everything is fine. There's just something I have to take care of." He started to walk off. Where was he going?

"Okay."

"I'll be right back." He told her. He was going to sort all of this out. She wouldn't get hurt because of him and his stupidity. She wouldn't.

"It's all right, Al." She looked down at him and then at where Fullmetal went. She trusted him. She believed that he abandon her and leave her with the satchel.

Fullmetal walked towards the shadows of the men.

"Ahh, there you are. I've been searching everywhere for you guys. Since we got separated. Hey, the sideburns are coming in nice, huh? You gotta be excited about that. Anyhow, just wanted to say, I shouldn't have split. The crown is all yours. I'll miss you, but I think it's for the... best." He threw the satchel at them.

"Holding out on us again? Hey, Fullmetal?" Kimblee smirked evilly.

"What?" He gasped. They couldn't be? No. How would they? How could they have possibly found out about her hair?

"We heard you found something. Something much more valuable than a crown. We want her, instead." His eyes widened when Tucker pinched his neck, knocking him out.

Winry was starting to worry when Fullmetal hadn't shown up for awhile. Then, she saw his shadow and sighed in relief.

"I was starting to think you ran off with the crown and left me." She laughed.

"He did." Kimblee grinned.

"What? No. He wouldn't." Winry couldn't believe it. She trusted him. And he left her by herself so these thugs could do whatever they wanted to her.

"See for yourself." He signaled to the side, and there he was, sailing away in a boat. Her eyes widened and felt tears forming.

"Edward? Edward!" She screamed, hoping for some sort of reply from him. She got nothing.

"Fair trade. A crown, for the girl with the magic hair. How much do you think someone will pay to stay young and healthy forever?" The black haired man asked his friend.

"No, please. NO! NO!" She shouted, running as fast as she could. She looked behind her to see they were chasing after her, and then she tripped on a log of wood. She heard rustling in the background as she sobbed.

"Winry!" She heard her mother yell.

"Mother?" She whimpered. Lust ran over to her and crouched down to pull the crying girl into her arms.

"Oh, my precious girl. Are you all right? Are you hurt?"

"How did you?" Winry asked.

"I was so worried about you dear. So I followed you. And I saw them attack you. Let's go, let's go before they come to." She ushered the girl into the forest.

"You were right, mother. You were right about everything."

"I know darling. I know."

On the boat, Fullmetal was coming to. When he realised where he was he pulled against his restraints. The boat hit the side of something. He looked up. Crap.

"Look! The crown." A guard yelled.

He was getting taken through a hallway filled with prisoners behind bars. He kept pulling at his restraints and pushing the guards away to no avail.

"Winry. WINRY! Wait, wait, wait. Guys, guys. Winry!" He yelled.

"Let's get this over with, Fullmetal." One of the guards said to him. He raised an eyebrow.

"Where are we going?" He looked through the window and saw a hanging station. "Oh..."

Back in the tower Lust and Winry were sat on Winry's bed. Lust pulled out the last flower out of her hair.

"There, it never happened. Now, wash up for dinner. I'm making hazelnut soup." She looked at her daughter and bit the inside of her lip. "I really did try, Rapunzel. I tried to warn you, what was out there. The world is dark, and selfish, and cruel. If it finds even the slightest ray of sunshine, It destroys it."

In the prison Fullmetal was getting taken to his sentence when he saw Kimblee and Tucker next to him. He elbowed one of the guards and shoved the other and ran towards the two men. He grabbed Kimblee by the collar.

"How did you know about her?! Tell me, now!" He demanded.

"It wasn't us! It was the old lady!" Kimblee shouted back, terrified of the little man on the other side of the bars.

"Old lady? Wait, no, wait! You don't understand, she's in trouble. Wait!" He gasped, struggling against the guards again.

Winry was laying down, holding the handkerchief that Fullmetal gave her to the ceiling when she was pulled into a slideshow of memories. She gasped at the end and sat up on her bed, panting heavily.

"Winry? Winry, what's going on up there? Are you all right?" Lust asked her.

"I'm the lost princess." Winry mumbled, eyes widened in realisation.

"Please, speak up, Winry. You know how I hate the mumbling." The older woman scolded her.

"I am the lost Princess. Aren't I? Did I mumble, Mother? Or should I even call you that?" If looks could kill Lust would be in tiny little ashes on the ground.

"Winry, do you even hear yourself? Why would you ask such a ridiculous question?" Lust laughed at her stupid accusation, nervous.

"It was you! It was all, you." She pointed her finger at her 'mother'. Lust gave up the charade. There was no point anymore.

"Everything I did, was to protect you."Winry pushed her aside as she walked down the stairs, gripping her hair.

"Winry!"

"I spent my entire life!-- Hiding from people who would use me for my power."

"Winry!"

"I should have been hiding from you." She realised, and glared at the woman once more.

"Where will you go? He won't be there for you." She told her.

"What did you do to him?" She growled.

"That criminal is to be hanged for his crimes."

"No." She gasped. It was all her fault. He was going to die because of her.

"Now, now. It's all right. Listen to me. All of this is as it should be." Lust tried to approach her.

"NO! You were wrong about the world. And you were wrong about me. And I will never let you use my hair, again!" Winry yelled and stormed off.

"You want me to be the bad guy? Fine. Now I'm the bad, guy." Lust smirked evilly.

Chapter 2 Masterlist

Chapter 1

"This is the story of how I died. Don't worry, this is actually a very fun story. And the truth is, it isn't even mine. This is the story of a girl, named Winry. And it starts, with the sun. Now, once upon a time, a single drop of sunlight fell from the heavens." A voice narrated.

A golden droplet falls from the sky and hits the ground, a soft glow spreading through the soil.

"And from this small drop of sun, grew a magic, golden, flower." It continued.

The glow grew into a beautiful, colourful flower.

"It had the ability to heal the sick, and injured."

An old, hunched over woman climbed towards the flower, hobbling.

"Oh, you see that old woman, over there? You might want to remember her. She's kind of important."

The old lady reaches for the flower, her wrinkly hands opening to grasp it. "Well, centuries passed and a hop skip and a boat ride away there grew a kingdom. The kingdom was ruled by a beloved King and Queen. And the Queen, well she was about to have a baby, and she got sick, really, sick. She was running out of time. And that's when people usually start to look for a miracle. Or in this case, a magic golden flower."

The elderly women returned with her lamp, it emitting a faint green glow. "Ahhh, I told you she'd be important. You see instead of sharing the Sun's gift, this woman, the homunculus, Lust, hoarded its healing power and used it to keep herself young for hundreds of years. And all she had to do was sing a special song."

"Flower gleam and glow, let your power shine. Make the clock reverse, bring back what once was mine, what once was mine." Lust sung.

"All right, you get the gist. She sings, she turns young. Creepy, right?" The narrator speaks.

A guard stumbled up the hill, head-turning rapidly in search of a cure. His eyes widen as he sees the gleaming flower.

"We found it!" he yelled, calling his comrades to come join him in digging up the flower.

"The magic of the golden flower, healed the queen. A healthy baby girl, a princess was born. With beautiful golden hair. I'll give you a hint. That's Winry. To celebrate her birth, the King and Queen launched a flying lantern into the sky. For that one moment, everything was perfect. And then that moment ended."

Lust, obviously aged, jumped over the castle bannister, slowly pushed the humongous nursery door open, and crept into the room.

Winry is sleeping softly the whole time in her crib, unaware of the decrepit women in her room. Lust slowly reaches into the infants crib, and softly grabs a strand of her hair. Reaching into her cloak, she pulls out a pair of glinting scissors.

"Flower, gleam and glow, let your powers shine, make the clock re----"she gasped, shocked about a few strands of the baby's hair, that had turned brown, and let it drift to the mattress, completely useless and drained of power.

"Lust broke into the castle and stole the child. Just like that... gone. The Kingdom searched and searched, but they could not find the Princess. For deep within the forest, in a hidden tower, Lust raised the child as her own."

In a large tower, hidden away from the world, Lust sat at her throne-like chair, gingerly pulling a brush through the child's gorgeous, golden locks.

"...save what was lost, bring back what once was mine, what once was mine." Winry sung, looking at the flowing flames in the fireplace.

"Lust had found her new magic flower. But this time she was determined to keep it hidden." the narrator recited.

"Why can't I go outside?" Winry inquired, curiously.

"The outside world is a dangerous place. Filled with horrible, selfish people. You must stay here, where you're safe. Do you understand, flower?" Lust demanded, ceasing to brush the young girls hair.

"Yes, Mommy." the child answered.

"But the walls of that tower could not hide everything. Each year on her birthday, the King and Queen released thousands of lanterns into the sky in hope that one day, their lost Princess would return." the voice pursued.

A green chameleon ran out onto the windowsill, and ran to hide behind a flower pot. He camouflaged himself to match the flower pot, in hopes that no one will see him.

Winry shoves the curtains to the sides, letting the light shine into the tower.

"HAH! Hmm, Well... I guess Al's not hiding out here."

Al chuckles slightly, under the impression that she hadn't seen him. Something then suddenly fastened around his ankle. Something soft. Something silky. Something gold. And then it yanked. And Al shrieked.

"GOTCHA!!! That's twenty two for me. How about twenty-three, out of forty-five?" Winry requested as she turned to look at Al's pouting face.

He shakes his head no, declining her request.

"Okay, well, what do you want to do?" Al points his jade tail out the window, indicating that he wants to go outside. "Yeah, I don't think so. I like it in here and so do you." she points at Al. He pouts.

"Oh, come on Al, it's not so bad in there." she points towards the inside of the tower.

A top a giant castle, leaping across the ultramarine tiles, three figures stop and stand, one shorter than the others, younger too.

The young man leant against a pillar, his golden hair flowing in the wind. "Wow! I could get used to a view like this." he awed, irritating the two behind him.

"Fullmetal, come on." his accomplice demanded, his long black ponytail taken by the wind.

"Hold on. Yep, I'm used to it. Guys, I want a castle." The man known as 'Fullmetal' beamed.

"We do this job, you can buy your own castle." the man said, or rated at Fullmetal's inability to take the mission seriously.

The young man walks over to the open window that leads into the hall which contains their treasure, with confidence in each passing step.

He reaches the window, and is hoisted down by his two allies for the mission, as he is the smallest of the three, although he is the least trustworthy. Why else would they trust him, a petty, thug?

The alchemist standing in front of their goldmine sneezes and, being the obvious comedian he is, the blonde just has to make a joke.

"Oh, hay fever?" he jokes, amusement laced in his voice.

"Yeah." the alchemist replies and turns to look at Fullmetal, but to his surprise, he does not see him dangling from the ceiling, holding on to the pedestal for support, that he's sure is worth much more than his life, and the crown resting in his hand.

"Huh?" The alchemist takes a double-take, unsure of what he saw. He turns around fully and his eyes widen as he sees that the crown his gone. A wave of panic sets in as he looks around frantically, until he look up, and catches a glimpse of Fullmetal's boot leaving the window.

"Wait, what? Hey, wait!" He yelled

The short man an his two taller associates leapt between the rooftops. The two were getting very annoyed with Fullmetals constant chatter.

"Can't you picture me in a castle of my own?" Fullmetal asked, amazed at the idea that he could be as rich as a man could ask for. "I mean, I certainly can. Oh, the things we've seen and it's only eight in the morning. Gentlemen, this is a very big day."
