Ok I decided to put this story back up, and hope that nothing else happens. Please in joy
Chapter 1
I sit on the bed, holding onto a pillow, going over the events that had occurred, that lead me to being in this very room. I'm only the age of 10, and I had witnessed things I wish I never did. I close my eyes as I feel tears forming.
"Lisa run, get out of here", my mother yells as she closes the door behind her, looking frightened. I look at her, watching her, she is shaking, her very core is shaking.
"Mom"? I ask. She looks over at me and smiles.
"Everything will be ok, but please you are all we have, you must get out of here", she says. I shake my head and fist my hands.
"I won't, I can't, I left my older brothers side, there is no way I'm leaving yours"! I snap, tears forming in my eyes. My mother stops everything she had been doing and walks over to me, she places a hand on my head and smiles wider.
"Its ok to run.. We want you to go", she says. Then we both jump as the door smashes open and a body lands limp on the ground. My eyes widen, tears just flowing down my face.
"DEAR"! My mother screams horrified of the stat my father is in. I put my hands to my mouth, trying to stop myself from screaming. It don't work, its as if there is an echo in the building. It seems to last forever.
"Lisa get out of here"! My mother snaps as she makes a symbol to create alchemy. I don't know why, but my legs make me move, I rush over to the window, and without a glance back I jump out and make a run for it. I don't know how long I ran, but I stop at the top of a hill, overlooking what is unfolding down in my home.
"Child", says a deep voice. I look up and see a man with blond hair standing not too far away from me looking at the surrounding area. Something about him though frightens me.
"Y-yes"? I answer trying to be polite a trait that my parents taught me.
"You came from down their"? He asks. I just nod my head and look down. Tears falling from my face as I watch an explosion happen in the center of town.
"Would you like to come live with me.. I can teach you things that you would be able to use to get your revenge"? the man asks. My eyes widen, revenge, its something I hadn't considered till now. I get up and look at the man.
"Sir please help me", I plead. He just chuckles and turns then starts walking.
I've lost my parents in such a short time, and now I'm here as though I'm being held captive for something. I look over after hearing a sound and my eyes land on two dogs. They look rather different, they have a mix between a wolf and maybe a type of cat. They have golden eyes that seems to shine the darker the room gets, their fur in some areas is long, and other short. Sighing I lay back on the bed and close my eyes holding the pillow tight to my chest.
My parents haven't actually had the time to explain some things to me, yes I know of the changes a female goes through after hitting a certain age. But other then that I know nothing. Groaning I roll to my side and tears start to flow from my eyes. I've lost them and the only thing I could do was run away.
"All I am is pathetic", I say as the door opens.
"Now, now, I wouldn't call yourself that", says a male voice. I shoot up and look at the person, and my eyes widen, a man standing just by the table has long black hair, and really nice purple eyes gazing at me with a smirk on his features.
"W-who are you"? I ask, sensing something strange about him, dangerous even.
"The name is Envy", he says as he places the tray of food down on the table. I look at the food and narrow my eyes.
"Don't worry its not poisoned", he reassures me, as he takes a seat in one of the chairs. I look back at him and notice he isn't wearing a whole lot Just a tight piece of clothing covering his chest, and what looks to be a skirt when he is standing, but its skorts? Feeling hunger I ignore the fear I have for this man and get up then slowly walk over to the table. He is sitting at the end of the table that is closest to the door. I sit in the seat that he placed the plate in front of, then take the fork and stick the orange fruit, and shove it in my mouth.
"Good girl", he says, gets up and pats my head before walking toward the door.
"M-my name is L-Lisa", I stutter for some reason. He turns his head and smiles at me before closing the door. I look over at the two dogs that are chained to the wall, I smile and look at my plate, there is a rather large piece of stake on it, so I cut it into three, and grab two then walk over to the dogs. They get up and growl at me, bearing their teeth.
"I'm not trying to run, and I'm not trying to hurt you, here", I say after stopping and toss the meat to them. The two look at the meat and then look at me, and back to the meat then take it. I smile then walk back to the table and finish my food.
Sighing I lean back in the chair and look up at the ceiling, thinking about everything that happened once again. I feel tears forming once more, and I shake my head then walk back over to the bed and lay down, deciding to sleep this away.
8 years later
I rush as fast as I can to the man before me, hands ready to strike when I get there. The moment I come out of hiding is when he will know where I am. I narrow my eyes and take the risk, I rush out of the bush and aim right for his legs, a man that wears but two small pieces of clothing, one covering his chest, and the other covering his bottom half.
His hair flows in the wind as though it is water. I jump then grin in triumph as he hasn't even detected me yet, or so it seems.
"Envy your mine"! I yell as I try to make the hit, only to get it blocked and Envy's face right at mine. He laughs.
"Your too loud.. And slow", he says, then I feel pain in my right side and I look down, he had kicked me, supporting me with his left side so I feel all the blunt and stay in place. Then I jump out of the way and land beside Envy as Lust's sharp finger was aiming to impale me, instead it impaled Envy.
"Y-you where s-suppose to stay", Envy groans. I smile widely at him and pat him on the shoulder then reply, "Sorry I'm still human". He only narrows his eyes at me, then grabs the claw and pulls it out, while Lust laughs.
"Here I come", I hear Gluttony say, and just in time I jump away from Envy, as Gluttony lands on him. Both Lust and I can't help but laugh at this. Envy meanwhile is glaring daggers at us as he tries to get the weight of the giant fat man off of him.
I'm aware that he can get him off with ease, but I haven't actually seen his true form.
"Will you get off me... You overly large thing"! Envy yells in annoyance. Causing myself to fall to the ground laughing so hard and Lust to lean over as though her gut hurt.
"This is so not funny"! Envy yells agitated by our laughter. I stop laughing and look over to him, then spot the shadow.
"Pride"? I ask. And everything goes silent then all eyes turn to the shadow.
"Father wants to see you.. Lisa you stay here", he says. I narrow my eyes and groan then sit up and look down to the ground.
"Don't worry girly, your fully aware that we do fill you in", Lust stats. I sigh once more and continue looking at the ground. Then I see a pair of feet with a black cloth that covers the top of the foot, leaving the toes out in the open, and runs to half way up the wearers calf. I follow them up to the face of Envy, and he has his hands on his hips, and a giant smirk on his features.
"Come now, that's not a good look for you", he says. I smile and the surprising thing happens, he reaches his hand out to help me up.
"You did rather well in the training exercise", he compliments me. I take his hand and he helps me to my feet. I look down at our hands since they are still locked together and feel my face slightly heat up and my heart race. 'What is this feeling'? I look at Envy's face and my eyes widen when I see he is looking at me, and my face seems to heat up even more. I shake my head and pull my hand away from his, "Th-thanks".
"Don't mention it", he says then turns and starts walking.
"You should head back to your room", Lust adds just before they walk into the building. I sigh and look down then ball my hands into fists. I then look up at the make shift sky and can't stop thinking about my family. My old friends, I can't help but think myself a failure to just run away, I all ways run away. Closing my eyes I sigh. I still remember the first night I had been here.
Flash Back
I try to sleep but the fear, the tears, the pain that I feel is just too much. I can see the faces of all those I had abandoned haunting me, including my mother, father and brother. I sit up sweating, and shaking as though a monster had been right here torturing me. I clutch my hand to my shirt where my heart is and close my eyes with tears forming through them.
"T-this isn't what I – I shouldn't be feeling", I say. I then slowly and shakily get to my feet. I can hear the two creatures whining at me, but I ignore them like they are a good distance away. I make my way to the door, and reach my shaky hand to it, grabbing the handle and hope that it will open. When it does, I don't know what actually went through me, relief, satisfaction, maybe both.
All I can do is open the door and walk down the very long halls, leaning against the wall for support. I don't know how long I had been walking, but I end up collapsing on the floor with tears falling from my eyes like a waterfall.
"Dear me, what are you doing out here at this time"? I hear a voice that sounds rather close to me. I open my eyes and move just to look into the purple eyes of the man that gave me the food, what was his name again.
"Envy", I shakily say.
"That's me", he says with a cheeky grin on his features. I then sit up and lean against the wall behind me to look at the man before me better.
"I'm scared", I say and look down at my hands in shame. I jump slightly when I feel his hand on the top of my head and he smiles down at me.
"Their is nothing to fear down here", he reassures me. I just shake my head and reach my hands up to his arm and close my eyes as I grip his arm. He gasps but then I feel him relax after tensing.
"Your human, how can you understand", he says darkly. I snap my eyes open and glare at him. Then I see something in his that makes me soften my look.
"Please, E-Envy, I want someone else near me while I sleep", I say. The look in his eyes confuses me, and make me just want to stay by his side.
"No way brat, not in a million years...", Envy says then stops short as he sees tears forming in my eyes. He looks away and sighs, then puts his one arm under my knees, and his other arm out of my grasp and supporting my back, then he picks me up.
"Just one night", he says looking annoyed by this fact.
"One", I say, cuddling up to him, not caring that I don't know him, but for some reason I trust him.
As I remember it he had stayed with me till I was comfortable to be on my own at night. I can't remember how many times I slept in his room, but I'm sure it was more times then he had wished. I look down at my hands and feel the ping of sadness coming to my heart. I put my hand there and close my eyes. I still remember the day I got to meet all of them, Lust, Gluttony, Wrath, Pride, Sloth and of coarse Envy. I haven't yet gotten to meet Greed, he is the only one that isn't even here anymore.
What Wrath told me is that he is a traitor, I shrugged it off, how can one of them betray their father, he is the one that gave them lives.. Even though it was at the cost of so many people. Just to think about it makes me sick, but what else can I do, they are the ones that showed me hospitality so I have to be thankful to them.
Sighing I look back at the door and groan. 'Maybe I should just take a shower first'. I then take a step and shutter, from the pain in my side.
"Damn you Envy, you didn't have to hit me so hard"! I yell eyes narrowed in anger, arm holding onto my hurt side. I sigh and take slow steps to the door and through the many halls before hitting a shower room.
"I wonder how Sloth is doing"? I ask. I know he is to dig a tunnel, but I don't think he likes being alone. Shaking my head I strip myself of all pieces of clothing I'm wearing and take a close look at my side.
"Yup going to leave a mark.. Damn you Envy", I say. I walk into the shower stall, and turn on the water, jumping back at first with how cold it is, then changing the temperature to one that is more comfortable.
"My life so far.. has been horrible, but I can say that these guys make it worth while now", I say as the water just soaks my long dirty blond hair and runs down my naked body. I sigh once more and look down at my feet, past my rather small breasts, a part I'm not too impressed by, I mean even Lusts are huge.
"I still remember another time, a few years after me being here", I say aloud.
Flash Back
"I will not permit it"! Envy's voice cuts into the room. I turn from Father to look at him, watch him struggle against lust trying to get into the room.
"Envy", Father replies.
"Dammit Lust", Envy growls and puts all his weight into getting free, which works. Lust catches her balance with a grunt. Envy then rushes over to Father and I, getting in between the two of us.
"Envy", I whisper. I know the day before he had been arguing with me, telling me that its not a good idea to go through with getting a philosopher's stone. He told me the risks, but I hate being stuck here every time they go out, I want to go where they go, and I don't want to be a burden to them.
"Out of the way, she wants this", Father demands.
"Please Father, she don't know what she is talking about, you know these humans", Envy stats, seeming to be out of reasons. I look past him to Father and he looks amused.
"And what should we do with her"? He asks.
"She has been here for far to long, being nothing but a rat in a maze". I then see Envy's hands ball into fists at that comment.
"We can use her, I mean she is one that no one knows", Envy says. Father seemed to take a moment to contemplate this.
"Such a good idea", Father adds.
"Smart thinking, she can be a spy that they won't know about". Envy seems to relax with this. I look down, because I know for this he is going to beat the crap out of me.
"But I'll give her a stone, one that she don't need in her system", Father says as he turns around and heads for his chair. He sits down then tosses Envy a red stone.
"Yes Father", he says. Envy then turns and walks right past me as though I'm not even their. I look at Father and he seems to have a dark look to him right at this moment.
"Well, brat, lets go"! Envy's voice snaps me out of my stupor and I get up then turn and walk toward the door, where Lust is standing with a smirk on her features.
The moment I walk out into the hall, I get pushed to the wall, and then a fist lands right beside my head, his hand can't be seen.
"You idiot", he growls. I put on a not sure smile and try to form words, but instead I close my eyes and look down defeated, I hate it when he looks at me with anger.
"Urge, well lets go, now we have to teach you how to use this thing", he says as he pulls his hand out of the hole he had created, and turns then walks. I open my eyes and look at Lust she just shrugs her shoulders at me.
"Well, come on", she says as she walks over to me. I smile at her and she smiles at me, then we follow behind Envy.
"I still remember how much I feared that look", I say as I punch the wall. Then I flinch as doing so had bothered my injury. I grab the shampoo and lathered my hair in soap, then rinsing it out as best I could. I then put conditioner into it, and put it up so I can keep it out of the water for the time being. I then grab the razor that Lust had happily gotten me one of the times that she had gone up into town.
"I have to remind her to get me a new one", I say again as I press it to my leg, to start shaving. Once both legs and armpits are done, I grab the body wash and body puff then wash myself. I let my hair lose and rinse it out as well as rinsing off my body. I turn off the water and open the curtains then walk over to the towels, I grab two, one for my hair and the other for my body. I dry my body then keep the towel rapped around me, since I have to walk to my room to get a change of clothes.
I dry my hair as best as I could, and leave it down. Then I gather my clothes that I did have on in my arms, the hair elastic around my wrist, then walk to the door. I open it and walk out, making my way to my room.
Sighing the moment I walk into my room, looking around to make sure no one is in here with me. I let my towel drop after locking the door and walk over to my bed, cause under it has my clean clothes. I pull my little box out and go through it, finding it hard to find something that isn't going to show off my body. Lust went out and kindly grabbed this, but she had also grabbed a few pairs of the type of clothes that I like to wear.
Smiling I pull out a larger short sleeved shirt, and a pair of really nice baggy jeans, and when I mean by baggy they have a large bell on them. I can stand the tight pants, as long as I have a shirt long enough to hide it. I also pull out a bra and clean pair of undies then, get dressed. I walk over to the small table right beside my bed and grab the brush, its missing bristles but it still does the job, and brush out my hair, then put it up into a low pony tail.
After all that the sting of my side allowed itself to be known, and I flinch again. After the pain passes I make my way back to the door, now wanting to go take some food to Sloth. I walk down the halls till I come to a place with lots of doctors, they see me and smile, wave, some even got up to make the food.
"I'm also wanting to get some for Sloth if that is all right"? I ask walking over to the cafeteria section of the room.
"Yeah its fine", the young man answers. I nod and sit down, then wait, here you don't get to chose what you eat, its what ever they have. I don't mind really, but some times I may not want to eat because the food don't look edible. Not taking long the man walks over with two trays of food, and hands them to me. I thank the man and make my way to the tunnels that Sloth is making.
Once their I listen to see where he is, and smile then turn right, walking down the long tunnel. Seems like forever has gone by before I actually see him.
"Hey Sloth", I say.
"Lisa"? He asks rather confused as he stops and looks at me. The man is huge, he is a giant in his own right, and very dangerous. I smile to myself, its a good thing they see me on their side.
"Hows it going"? I ask. He just looks at me for a moment before replying, "Its a pain, digging is a pain". I shake my head and hold out one of the plates of food.
"Got you some food big man", I say. He smiles at me and sits down, then takes the food. I smile up at him as I start to eat my food, he is finished with his plate in no time. All he needs to do is put everything on the plate into his mouth, yes he is that big.
"Good.. Hunger a pain", he says as he gets back up.
"Dig, they say, what a pain". I smile at him as I get up and move a small distance away as he starts digging again. 'Poor Sloth, he goes through the worst things ever'. I shrug it off and eat my food to the sound of ground being dug up. After I'm done I look over and narrow my eyes as I see Pride looking at me.
"What do you want, I'm not distracting him"? I ask.
"I can see that... When your food is done, you must leave, or I'll drag you myself", he says. I narrow my eyes at him and groan, then take smaller bites of my food. I catch him narrowing his eye before the shadow disappears. Smiling, and taking a few more minutes to finish my food, I get up with the empty plate, and walk over to get the other one. Once I pick it up I look at Sloth. Shaking my head I put my best smile on my face and say, "Well Sloth see you next meal time".
"Thanks.. What a pain", I hear him say. I smile and turn, making my way back to base. Along the way I end up finding another opening, one I missed on the way to go and see Sloth. I look down the large darkened tunnel and sigh, not the way I'm going to go. I then turn and make my way back to base. Once I get their, the first place I go to is the kitchen where all the people seem to hang around, to drop off the plates.
After saying goodbye to them I make my way to my room. With a sigh I look down to the ground, then pull out the little red stone that Father had given me. I stop in the middle of the hall and just gaze at the thing. I know their are tones of souls in this thing, but it still isn't making me change my mind on using it.
"Lisa"? A voice snaps me out of my own darkened world. I turn around and see Lust walking in my direction with Gluttony close behind her. Even though they are homuculi, I believe that Gluttony has a thing for her.
"Lust, Glut", I say in response. Don't get me wrong they look human, with exceptional abilities, but from what they tell me is that they can't reproduce the same way us humans do.
"What is it"? I ask as she stops in front of me.
"Father is making us go out onto an errand, Gluttony, Envy and myself", she says.
"Why can't I ever go with you", I groan. She places a hand on my shoulder and smiles at me.
"Father would rather you here", she stats. I move back so her hand isn't on my shoulder and grip tightly onto the stone, then narrow my eyes.
"I can't just stay here and wait while every one else has things to do.. I want to go and help you, I want to make sure none of you get hurt"! I snap.
"Lisa, listen to me, your human, and we, we are..", she says but I interrupt her. "Homuculi, I know, you have several lives but that's not the point". Small sparks come out of my hand, and I don't even notice it.
"Lisa calm down", she says.
"Her hand is sparking"? Gluttony points out. I ignore it and growl at them.
"Why can't anyone understand that I don't want to be locked up anymore, I've been down here for 8 years, unable to go outside, the actual outside, not a man made one from the stone"! Then the red lightning strikes beside me and damages the wall, before I witness it go behind both Lust and Gluttony.
"Scary", Gluttony says.
"Lisa your going to shorten our lives if you keep this up", Lust says as she and Glut jump out of the way of another one. I'm too angry to care, all I want is to come out of this darkness and into the light.. I've had it up to the highest mountain to just sit around in my room fiddling with my fingers to care anymore.
And in one incident all anger is seeped away as someones hand is placed over mine, then unravels my fingers and takes the stone. I look over and my eyes widen, its Envy.
"I told every one that she isn't ready for this yet.. Didn't I", Envy stats.
"I'm s-sorry", I say and look down.
"Father will get a task for you, but you just have to be patient", Envy says then shoves the stone in his pocket.
"Wait, you kicked me really hard", I say now forgetting everything now that he is here.. How odd.
"Yeah so", he says leaning against the wall. I narrow my eyes at him and let a low growl rumble out of my throat.
"You want a rematch"? He asks a sly grin on his features. I look over to Lust and she just shrugs her shoulders.
"Why not, if you guys still have time", I say.
"We have all the time in the world for you", Envy says and pushes himself off the wall. Smiling I follow behind him, as Lust walks beside me.
"You seem to calm the moment he is around", she accuses.
"What are you talking about"? I ask just gazing at Envy's bare skin.
"I mean, you turn into a little puppy when he comes near", Lust says. I look at her and narrow my eyes.
"Its not like that"! I snap.
"Is it"? She asks and I stop for a brief moment at that comment, and she only laughs.
"Thought so", she says. I shake my head and follow them out to the make shift outdoors.
Ok here is the first chapter, review if you like
