The young girl ran through the bustling city, not caring if she rammed into the passers-by. She had to get as far away from that place as she could; as far away from that monster. She kept running breathlessly, until she eventually collapsed on the ground. She looked around warily, taking large gasps of air into her tired lungs, while people stared at her. Her dark, slim-fitting clothes were covered in blood, and were mostly ripped, but she didn't care about such unimportant things. She painfully lifted herself up from the ground and leant on a nearby streetlight. Most of her vision was a blur. She regained her composure, just as a familiar young man approached her. "You ran off again, didn't you? You look quite a mess." He said, looking her over.

"What do you want, Greedling." She said sternly, ignoring his comment.

He sighed out, obviously annoyed by her nickname for him. "For the last time, it's just Greed, not Greedling or Ling. What escape attempt is it now? 9th?"

The girl looked away. "So I guessed it. But don't forget, they'll eventually find you, or should I say he'll find you. You can't keep on running away, Despair."

Greed shrugged, waved her goodbye, and left the girl alone once again.

Despair walked along the silent alleyways. Night had fallen sooner than she expected, and she hadn't planned past 'running away'. The others usually got her in a matter of hours. She kept as quiet as she could be, as she felt something following her. She quickened her pace, but stopped in her tracks when she saw him.


The dark-haired homunculus shook his head. "How many times are you going to do this, Despair? You know you can't escape me." It had taken him ages to track down the little asshole, and finding her like this was only purely coincidental. But then again, he did find her altogether, so there's some joy in that. His mind rippled with malicious thoughts of how he could 'punish' his little 'pet'.

The terrified girl took a few wary steps back, before running desperately in the opposite direction. Envy laughed at this foolish attempt to escape him. She must be really freaking out, he thought to himself gleefully, and he joined in the chase.

This is it, Despair thought with intense fear. He's going to get me and take me back. While her thoughts crowded her mind, she lost her step, and tripped over. She tried to get up as fast as she could, but the fall had given the other homunculus enough time to catch up to her. He smiled a maniacal grin, and grabbed her by the collar of her ripped dress, only ripping it more.

"Now, is my little 'pet' going to play things the easy way, or the hard way?" he said, poisonously. Despair kicked at him, but Envy was too observant to get hit. As she kicked out, he caught her leg, and snapped it in two. A shriek of pain erupted from the helpless girl's lips. "Ah, so I see. Very well, 'pet'." He answered his own question, while his cruel voice echoed off the walls of the alleys.

The girl watched him yank a metal pipe from behind himself, felt a dull thud, and she realised where it had hit her. Her vision starting fading until she felt like she was falling into an endless dark tunnel.

Envy felt the girl go limp in his grasp, once he had knocked her out cold. He lifted his 'prize' onto one shoulder, and returned to the homunculi's HQ. "Did you find her, Envy?" A clear voice rang through the dark hideout.

"Yes, Father." He replied, looking up at his master.

"Next time, take extra care when you are locking her up. You don't want her running anymore. She's caused quite some trouble, and the other homunculi have better things to do than to chase after their young comrade. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Father." Envy repeated.

"Very well." Father returned to whatever he was doing, while Envy started walking towards where they kept Despair. He dumped the girl on the ground, and decided to 'punish' her once she awoke; it would be pointless to humiliate her if she wasn't awake or making reactions. He began chaining her to her usual restraints, and remembered how he got her in the first place.

In his arms, Envy held the unconscious body of an alchemist he had been watching for some time. He had no idea of what she was called, but he knew one thing: he wanted her for himself. He carried her to Father, who reluctantly agreed to try making her into a homunculus, as Envy had told him that he saw a 'great potential' in her. He watched closely as she struggled in her restraints, but finally accepted the Stone into her system. She opened her dark eyes, and looked around at the array of people surrounding her (Envy, Lust, Gluttony and Greed; the rest were busy). Father had named the new homunculus Despair, and Envy himself couldn't find a more befitting name. As he led her to where she would be staying, he turned on her.

"W-what are you doing. . .Envy?" Her fragile voice quavered. Envy had wanted to do this for a long time now. Her eyes widened when she figured out what he was about to do. He pressed her to the wall, holding her arms with one hand, while standing on her feet to prevent her from kicking him. He forced his way into her warm interior, and felt her struggling in his grasp. He felt himself penetrate her, and saw a trickle of blood go down her leg; he smiled. He began pulling in and out of the small opening, picking up speed as he did so. She tried screaming, but he covered her mouth with his own, and darted his tongue in and out of her mouth, in rhythm with his own thrusting. He felt himself come to a climax, and left her body once he had flowed into her. Sweat glistened from her forehead, and he dropped the girl, exhausted from his little feat. She stared back at him with disgust, and curled up into a small ball. He picked up the pitiful thing and carried her to a cell he had prepared just for her. "It's ok, my 'pet'. This is only the first time. Let's hope next time is just as satisfying." He laughed.

Times had been fun back then, Envy mused. But nowadays, she seems more and more reluctant. Makes it all the more fun. He finished chaining the sad little thing to the wall, and stepped back, taking in the image of the girl in front of him, all the while imagining what fun he'll have once she wakes up. The girl's eyes slowly opened, and Envy melded his lips into the form of a malevolent smile. "You're going to have to be punished for what you did, 'pet'."
