Chimera
-Dorchette-
Hi, I can't believe I'm writing another one of these things! I thought of doing 'Hanabi' for Kimbley because I was bored, but instead I found myself scribbling this down during Biology class!
Oh well, expect something boring out of this... Greed doesn't get a chapter to himself because he sounds too OOC in my drafts. T.T I can't make him sound normal! Argh!
NOTE: SCENES ARE TAKEN FROM THE MANGA, NOT THE ANIME.
Please R n R!

I am Dorchette.
Once in the military, but I could never bring myself to return there again.
When I thought I could finally die in peace, they toyed with my body.
I know I should be grateful to be alive, but look at me.
I'm a chimera now. A human fused with an animal.
And of all animals, I just had to be fused with a dog.
I never liked that fact until I met Greed.
He may not be human at all, but he knew how I felt, how the other chimeras felt. I can sense that out of him.
Roa and Martel must have known that too.
That's why we followed him.
At the same time, that was where I didn't mind being a chimera.
Because I knew I found someone I could gladly die for.
We lived in peace in Dublith, together in a community full of others like ourselves in a bar called the 'Devil's Nest'.
There, we shared bitter memories.
Happy memories.
Even those we forgot yet we remember.
However, our peace didn't stay long.
When the military raided that bar that all the chimeras living in it call 'home', we found ourselves fighting for our lives once more.
I couldn't save anyone.
Our top priority was to get Greed to safety.
He meant the whole world to us chimeras.
He helped us rebuild the life we once lost unconsciously, put us back on the right track.
And once again, I found myself losing my second chance to live.
I could have run away when we encountered the President, but I didn't.
I fought. I fell. Roa fell along with me.
Is this where my life ends?
I hope not.
It was inevitable though. My death, that is.
Before I lost all my senses, I found myself praying silently,
Praying to be given another life where we can all live without fearing that death was following us like a second skin.

Heh, it's a pretty sucky ending, but the first draft of the ending sounded a lot worse compared to this one. :)
Okay, I've only got two more chapters to type. Enjoy this one, people!
