Alright, first chapter…..-dance dance-
Flash-backs are in Italics FYI. . Sorry if it's a tad confusing I tried my best. I really haven't written many fan-fics in a couple of years.
Alright…this is like…. 350 years before Edo and that tasty metal bishie came to be. :o So yes there are new ((well… not new…old XD )) homunculi, since in the series it was clearly stated that every homunculi besides Envy and Greed are basically new. So why not create my own? .
Enjoy. 3
((chapter one. Ghost of you. ))
The rising sun glared into the sin's face as it shinned through his broken blinds. His room was done up in a very medieval, the gothic style, yet everything was a complete mess with the additional knives sticking out of the black plaster of the wall. Like a cocoon, the sin had wrapped himself up in his dark purple sheets, not wanting to get up and greet another day. After a while, one amethyst eye opened before Envy hissed at the sun light. Groggily he sat up and stretched a bit along with a tiny little yawn.
((flash back ))
"Damn dream…" Was all he whispered before getting to his feet, and lazily headed to the shower.
That day proved be a dark and gloomy one as a boy around the age of 17, peered out of the window wishing to go outside.
"Mother, may I please see Abigail Finche today?" This handsome blonde boy asked, not turning his head to face the woman he called mother.
She sat before the fire place, a book in her hands seemingly not paying attention to her son's request. "You know I don't like that foul little girl. No." she spat out in a bitter low tone.
The blonde teenager sighed then got to his feet. "I am going to my room, mother." He whispered softly before leaving the manor library. He walked all the way up to his room, up the spiral stair case, and sat in his window this time, watching the rain drops bounce of the cold glass.
That's when he saw her….the angel in the next door's neighbor's window. She was brushing through her long golden red hair, also watching the autumn rain fall to the colorful leaves below.
"..Abigail…"
(( End))
Envy willed his clothes off then stepped into the large bath tub, turning on the shower head. He sighed deeply, the trance of the warm water on his skin very relaxing to the homunculus. After a few minuets of just standing there, he stepped out, obviously soaked, with his hair plastered to his back.
"I hate water." He spat out as he reached for a towel, wrapping it around himself.
" EEEENNVVVY!" Shouted a little homunculus girl who burst into the bathroom. Her bright red hair was up in pig tails and her bright violet eyes flashed around the room.
"WRATH!" Envy kicked Wrath into the side of the sink. Just what the hell got into the child this early in the morning?
"Oww! OWW!" Wrath rubbed her head. "Stupid ass! Dante told me to go and get you to bring you downstairs!" Said the annoyed Homunculus child.
"Eh? What for?" Envy asked, before reaching for a comb to brush the tangles from his long green tinted hair.
Wrath jumped onto the sink and started to make faces in the mirror. This was something Envy had gotten use to over time, Wrath coming in and trying to spend time with Envy, though Envy was apathetic towards the whole situation.
"Its your birthday" Wrath said cutely grinning up at him through the shattered mirror.
" Oh really now?" Envy questioned, willing some loose clothes on to walk around the manor in.
Wrath twirled around. "Its what master Dante said, it's your birthday, yep, yep!" Envy sighed.
"Heh, I didn't even know myself, you kind'a loose track after living for so long. "Envy said while putting his hair up into a pony tail before walking out of his bathroom to the hallway outside.
Wrath followed closely behind. "So where is the old hag anyways?" Envy asked Wrath running in circled before around him.
"She's in the garden with Sloth and Avarice!" She exclaimed in between making airplane noises.
Envy, getting tired of Wrath's childish actions, tripped the girl into a side table. He whistled while he headed down the massive stair case and out to the garden. To him, it seemed like it took forever to walk through the endless rows of brightly colored roses and sakura trees which decorated the entire green yard.
As he walked his head enveloped in memories once again….memories that weren't his.
((Flash back ))
"Derek!" Called a voice from a young woman. The blonde boy turned around, hearing his name called. "Are you ready for our picnic? I packed us some lunch." Said a pretty young woman who walked up beside Derek, taking hold of his arm. She was dressed in a light brown and white dress, very old fashioned, as for Derek, He wore a very old fashioned gentlemen suit which only the rich wore in the late 1500s.
"How are you feeling today?" The pretty red headed girl said, looking up into Derek's golden eyes.
" Alright, I suppose. " He replied with a smile on his face, taking her arm in his, courting her through front yard.
"We should we eat our little lunch?" She said hopefully though she knew they could not leave far from his house do to his medical issue with the mercury poisoning he endured as a small child.
"It's nice out today…. why not the garden?" The girl walking with him let out a squeak of joy. She loved Derek's family's garden. It was so big and you could loose yourself within the maze of rare flowers including the blue rose.
The couple walked together through the beautifully displayed flowers until they came upon a large willow tree. "Here…this is pretty." The young girl pointed out as she led him under the leaves, laying out a blanket for them to share.
As they sat down within the curtain of leaves where it was cooler and hidden from the outside world, she opened up her little basket and took out a few things which looked like they were prepared with care. "You mom can't see us in here." The angel said smiling with happy-ness.
"Abby…you do too much."
((End))
Finally Envy came upon a clearing, with a sun table in the middle of it. There sat Dante along with the two other homunculi women, enjoy some tea on that beautiful morning.
"Whad' ya want Dante?" Envy asked, quite annoyed for being called down stairs into the garden.
" Come now, Envy. Why must you be so ruthless even on your birthday?" She said in a fake motherly tone, which Envy despised.
"Teh, what ever." Envy said before leaning up against an ivy covered stone pillow next to the table.
"Mmn…. So what does birthday boy want on his special day?" Avarice asked in her usual purred seductive tone. She sat in the seat across from Dante and had dark brown hair propped up into a sloppy pony tail bun. She wore a long coat with animal fur around the collar which hung open. She indeed was easy on the eyes, yet one would not want to piss this lady off.
Envy only glared at her. "Don't plan on doing me any favors you two bit hooker. " The sin spit out at her.
"Temper, Temper. " Dante intervened. "Now, do tell Mama what you want." She said sugary sweetly.
"My bastard of a father's head on a platter." Envy said becoming annoyed with these little games his "mother" always liked to play.
Dante gave him more then a glare but simply played it off. "I'm getting tired of your little outbursts. What makes you think you can treat your own master in such a way?"
Envy just sneered at her. "Well what do you expect? I've got a bitch for a mother and my old man is a deserting bastard. "He said in a cocky tone, propping himself off his leaning post only to walk away from them.
Dante sighed and watched his back leave. "Love you too…'son '." She said with a smirk before sipping a bit of tea.
Envy only replied with blowing her a fake kiss, and then flicked her off as he vanished into the endless green of the huge Victorian garden, which he blended in perfectly.
"That boy really is something else. " Avarice sighed, with a bit of a stretch, also hating being in Dante's company.
Dante grinned up at her, obviously scheming something in her evil twisted mind. "Perhaps its time to create…Lust." She said properly. "Yes…A Lust." Dante whispered to herself again.
The two homunculus women looked at one another, then back at Dante. "Save yourself the trouble, Dante. Envy just needs to get laid once in a while. That way he wouldn't be such a tight ass."
Avarice snickered as she got up from her chair, the legs rubbing against the sidewalk screeching a bit. She left without a word, wondering what she would do with the rest of her day, leaving Sloth and Dante alone in the garden.
Meanwhile
"Oh! Damnit, you think I'd know my way around this patch of weeds by now." The green haired homunculus cursed to himself as he trudged through some bushes and weeds a part of the garden that made itself clear to anyone who seen it, had not been taken care of and up kept as well as the rest of the forest of flowers.
And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
That's when Envy came into a bit of an opening. "Maybe if I just turn myself into a bird I can just fly back up to my room until the old hag calls on me to make my life more of a livi-…" He started but got cut off by something that had caught his eye.
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
There was a tree…. a big one. Not just any old tree…a weeping willow huge in size most likely from being so old. The sin walked a little closer to it. "Where have I seen this thing before?" He asked himself, scratching the top of his head a bit as he approached it.
"Stupid old tree…" He said in a hissed whisper as he found himself entering in the drape of leaves which was like a curtain hiding the base of the tree. Slowly he looked around, getting a odd feeling in his gut which he didn't like at all.
And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
"Eh? " He raised an eye-brow seeing something cut into the soft bark of the tree. As he dared closer the image of a poorly mis-shapen heart formed into the tree-bark.
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know your alive
Squinting his eyes a bit he made out one of two names. " D-Derh…reek…." He spoke slowly for he always had a hard time reading yet he would always pretend that he could.
"Derek." He blinked recognizing the name as his own. What was this that he had stumbled upon?...A piece of his past? He began to read the second word which was scratched on.
And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
"Auh bie gatel? ….No… no.. umm.. Abiee-galil? …Grah! Damnit!" Envy gave the tree a smack with his fist, not hard enough to break its old trunk but more as a punishment in getting out his anger of not being able to read correctly.
To calm himself Envy took in a deep breath and tried once more. "Ab…bi…..gail…" He let his fingers delicately run down the middle of the name, still a bit confused. " Abigail?" ….
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
As soon as he spit the name out, memories were pouring in his mind like a flash. He slammed his palms over his eyes and fell to his knees whimpering for this serge of broken memory was too much for the sin. Before he knew it, he had lost consciousness and had cradled into a ball on the grass, shivering.
What had just happened?
Ohh Noes :o poor cookie-kun. I'll have the next chapter up within a week, so don't beat my door down ..
