The first thing I was aware of was that I was completely naked, my pale skin unmarred, like before the accident. The other thing came soon after. My sister wasn't there. Poppy, my twin sister, had completely disappeared
Arm shaking with the strain, I pushed myself up to look around. I was lying in an elaborated array. Admiring its complexity brought me to two conclusions. This array was for human transmutation.
And it was draw in Poppy's hand.
'Poppy?' Voice quavering I called my sister's name not really expecting an answer. None was forthcoming. Of course not. My call echoed strangely. This was not our house.
Light sifted through a tiny window revealing a concrete room with a single stairway.
'Hey, who's there? Come out!' The voice was male. I curled myself into a ball, leaving nothing revealed. My hair was long enough to cover my body.
'What the hell?' Reaching out the man tried to touch me. Not anywhere bad or anything, just me head, but I screamed. I kicked the intruder away.
'Don't touch me! I'll-' Stretching out my legs had revealed an interesting mark high on my left thigh. After living in Central for six years I knew what it was.
An oroborus.
The man noticed the symbol too.
'A homunculus…Envy.' He breathed.
Poppy's attempt to bring me back had created a monster. She had created me.
