Puella Magi Winry Magica. THIS IS IMPULSE FIC- DON’T EXPECT IT TO BE POLISHED OR ANYTHING

Winry fell to the ground, her bloody hands scrabbling in the dirt. She’d barely managed to stumble outside.

They’d done their best to stop Ed’s bleeding until the doctor had arrived to help her grandmother. Pinako had told her to stay away, but she’d had to help. She’s applied pressure to stop the bleeding for as long as she could and now she felt like Ed’s blood has seeped in under her skin. She was infected.

The doctor was operating now and Ed’s screams sounded even through the door. Why wasn’t the anesthesia working? Shouldn’t he be passed out by now? She could hear Al sobbing too, but it was an echoey sort of sound, sobbing without tears because a suit of armor can’t produce them. That metal man inside definitely radiated Al’s presence and it had Al’s voice, but she couldn’t believe it was Al. He’d been turned into something completely strange, something she couldn’t even grasp.

Ed’s screamed again and she dug her nails into the dirt, her body shaking as she dry heaved.

Only one thing was certain here. If her parents were here, they’d be doing a better job operating. They wouldn’t be making Ed scream. They would have made sure he was completely drugged. He wouldn’t have lost so much blood either, having to wait on a doctor to come from miles away. In fact, some part of her felt like if her parents were here, they’d be able to get Ed’s arm and leg back, get his mother back, get Al out of this suit of armor…

they’d be able to fix it, if only they hadn’t died…

She was gasping, shaking, curled up on the ground, choking on hot tears. Why had they died? Why weren’t they here for her now? Where were they when she needed them most? Where were Ed and Al’s parents? If only parents never died, they wouldn’t be in this mess. If only parents never left children alone…

“That’s certainly an interesting idea. You could make it possible too.”

Winry jerked up. An oddly calm, high voice, like a little boy’s. Where had it come from? There was a strange white animal, next to her on the grass. What…a rabbit? But it looked strange…

It tilted it’s head cutely and Winry realized the impossible- the little animal had spoken.

“Would you like to make a contract and become a magical girl?”

Magical girls didn’t typically work together, but Winry and May were the exception. The young girl had come on a diplomatic mission- apparently Amestris was threatening war with one of Xing’s allies. Her clan ruled Xing, thanks entirely to Kyuubey. She had used her wish to save her clan from extinction. It was now her responsibility to meet with the Fuhrer and make sure war didn’t threaten Xing. In the meantime, she hunted Amestrian witches with Winry.
