Chapter 1: I will find what is deep inside
Burning ashes flowed around him. So it was really over. He smirked. He did his job. The memories came back to him. The fight with peepsquak and his jobs for father. And not he was dead. Great all his work for nothing. Envy laughed silently. His wounds were not healing but he couldn't feel them. He just flowed there thinking about his past. He didn't really want to go. The world he had lived was actually not that bad. But he didn't have much to say about it. He looked into the darkness that reminded him of the first time he came here in the Gate. It hadn't changed a bit. He closed his eyes and began to hum a lullaby he used to sing for... wait for who was it. Why did he just started humming? He opened his eyes and they began to fill themself with tears. No he couldn't have forgot. No way in living hell. Did father do this to him before the battle? Did he made Envy forget about his own source of life? Envy could feel his anger rise. That basterd made him forget about Angel! Suddenly memories came flowing back to his mind.
Flashback:
Two years ago:
" Envy come on now. I want to eat and the food is getting cold." Envy was camping with Lust and Gluttony. He wasn't really hungry but the bacon was glaring at him and daring him to eat it. So he sat down and began to eat his protion before Gluttony could even ask it. He didn't care if the fatso at all the humans he wanted but the bacon was his. They sat in silent. Lust was looking the fire and whipsering something about how she wanted it all to end. Envy rolled his eye, she was always depressed. No fun. He looked at Gluttony who was eating his food in speedtempo. He signe. There was never any fun with these two around. One was always eating and the other would always be depressed. Why did father toture him so much by having to babysit these two idiots? Ok he was the oldest of the sins but that didn't mean he actually liked having to play big brother all the time and getting blamed for everything.
Envy stood up and began to walk away from the camp to get some rest. He ignored the screams of Lust that he had to stay put, because they were in an unknown area. Like he cared. He was already happy just being away from the group. They could get so annoying. The forest was dark and quiet. Just how he liked it. Envy groaned. He would have to go to work again when he got back at the hideout. And of course Greed would be there to annoy him. After walking for half a hour he heard music, it sounded like there was a party going on. Envy smiled. As he looked ahead, he could see a small village or camp at the egde of the forest. Colored lights filled the air around the tiny resedents, that along with the music made it look like there was a festival instead of a party. Envy followed the light with his eyes and became curious why they were having such a big feast. He began walking to the village, when he came to realize that he had came to walk on a path which would bring him to the village and that he was still in his normal clothes which would probably make people wonder. Jumping back in the shadows he morbed into a white shirt with black pants and black shoes. His hair tied back with the hairband still in place he walked over to the village. People were still arriving at the party which was kinda weird because it was really late.
Entering the village Envy was quite suprised. The entire village was decorated in colourful garlands and lamps. People were laughing and talking cheerfully, children were playing with toys which looked brand new. Envy frowned. What kind of festival was this? He never say anything like this. He looked around and his eyes fell on a sign. He stopped to read it. The sign was light blue with golden letters on it." The day we became free. " it said. Envy smiled. So they were celebrating that they were free from the the war. That would be logical considering that the village was near the bourder. Walking again he came in which seemed to be the center of the village. There was a huge statue of some old dude with a sword in his hand looking all heroic.
Envy sat down at one of the cafés at the side of street, the one who seems the most quietest. Most men sat at the bar but he had found a little table in the corner of the cafe. He didn't want to contact with this filthy people. They would always complain about their live or they would talk to much.
After ordering a drink he just sat back and enjoyed that he was free for a minute. Well it was the theme of the party after all and Lust would never know he had been here. Grinning he drank his beer. God how he missed this. Just being able to enjoy some music. The only place he could do that was his room and even then there would always be someone to complain about his music. People started to dance and felt himself even hum along with the song.
Suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder and he looked up in surpise. A girl with brown hair and silver looking eyes stared at him with a warming smile. " Is this seat taken? There is no seat on the other tables." she asked with a honeyfilled voice. He stared at her for a moment to get a closer look at the girl who dared to ask him to sit by him. She wore a black dress with dark blue straps. Her hair was for a half tied back in a ponytail. He nodded and went back to his drink. The girl sat down and order a white wine. They sat in silence while both drinking their own drinks. Envy looked at the girl again. She wasn't bad looking. Not at all actually. Her eyes seemed to light up at the beat of the music. The sin was so busy staring at the girl he didn't hear that she was talking to him. He shook his head and looked at her with a questioning look. The girl laughed silently, something he liked, and said:" So what is your name?" Envy blushed. Should he tell her his real name. Ow to hell with it, he thought." My name is Envy. Yeah I know it is a weird name." The girl smiled. "Yes it is indeed strange but not the less nice. The seven sins are really interesting. At least that is mine opion on it." Envy looked suprised. Someone actually found him interessting. It was kinda weird but kinda cool too. " My name is Trinity. I work at the store here next door. Or at least I worked there." she said, at the end a little sad. Envy played with his glass and asked why she worked there." Well the owner was sent to war and well the wife was not really found of me." Envy nodded and smiled. " What did you do? Sleep with the owner or something? " He smiled with his trademark smile that meant evil in the house. Trinity just laughed." No I told her that she should shut up about her fat ass, cause it was not going to change anytime soon." Envy laughed." Ow nice one. I wish I could have seen her face."
They talked and laughed for a while. Time seemed to go even faster then it uselly does. The party was coming at it's end. Envy knew he would soon have to go back to the losers. After while Trinity stood up. " I have to go now. I need my sleep if I am going to travel tomorrow." Envy nodded and stood up as well. They both paid their drinks and said there goodbyes." If you happen to come acros this village agian, don't hestiate to visit." Trinity said smiling. Envy nodded and smiled back." I will madame." He made a real gentleman like bow and kissed Trinity's hand. She giggled, said good bye again and kissed him on his cheek then walked away. Envy blushed and waved. This girl was different from the other girls he met. Hell she was different from all the humans. Could he have fallen in love? he asked himself, while walked back to the camp. Well there was no time to find out. He arrived back at the camp and ignored the yells from Lust that he had stayed away to long and that she was worried bla bla. He sat down on his spot and fell asleep.
As the mornig came with sunrise, Envy woke up at the sound of birds chatting with each other. How he hated it. Lust was still asleep and snored really hard. Gluttony was checking out the birds as if they were his breakfast. Envy sighed. Yep he was back where he belonged. Not were he wanted to be. To busy in his thoughts he tried to ignore the rest of the homoclus and stared at the sky, which was red as blood.
Then out of nowhere a loud explosion was heard all over the forest. The ground rumbled at the sound. Birds flew away and Gluttony cried at his breakfast. Lust woke up from her slumber. Envy looked around to see where the soon came from. But not long after the explosion, screams could be heard. Envy climbed up a tree and looked at the direction where the screams came from. Envy's eyes widened. The sound of the explosion and the screams were coming from the village. A plum rose above the roofs of the houses. Envy could just think one thing: Trinity!
