"She's coming to."
"About time."
I opened my eyes to find myself in an odd place. I was in some sort of fancy building with walls that looked golden, thanks to the hanging lights. The roof was a green color, similar to how copper looks when exposed to the air too long. I looked at the two people standing next to me. Both had dark hair and lavender eyes, with a sinister look between them. They were both rather pale, and was wearing something black with red on it. One of them was a girl that had bright red lips, and grinned at me. The other was a boy that had thin lips and a chubby face, staring down at me with a disapproving look.
"You sure this is the right girl?" Said the boy.
"I am positive." The girl looked down at me, her smile was warm yet cold at the same time. That kind of face that you were happy to see, yet you knew that person had something dark stored away. "Wrath. From now on, you're Wrath."
"Star...light." I muttered, having slight difficulty making out the words. The boy sighed, while the girl slightly tilted her head.
"I...saw a girl, named Starlight." I said, bolder than the last time.
"You must have been dreaming." Grinned the girl. "You may call me Mistress, for now." The boy looked away, not really wanting to speak to me. "My name is Pride." Said the boy. I nodded, and hopped off the table, stretching a bit. I didn't like lying still like that. They both gawked for a moment.
"Well, turns out this is the right girl after all." Said Pride.
"My, you're full of energy," Grinned Mistress. "Now, allow me to tell you about something special. There is a stone called The Philosopher's stone. It is very powerful, and I need it. Will you be a dear and help us find it?" Asked Mistress. I gave a smile.
"Of course!" I exclaimed. "Where do I start?"
"First, I want you to meet all the others. Pride."
"What is it?" Complained Pride.
"Introduce Wrath to all the others."
"Alright. Come on kid." Said Pride. I'm not sure why, but him calling me kid really made me mad.
"Hey!" I snapped. "Don't call me kid. My name is Wrath, use it!"
"Well, feisty one, aren't you?" Asked Pride, with a slight mocking tone. "Come on." He started to walk away, and I followed. Neither of us spoke, but I did get a better look around the place, and noticed some things about Pride. He had more of a stride than a walk, and he occasionally puts his hands in his pockets, then winces and removes his hands. I found it slightly odd, since when I put my hands into my pockets, I didn't feel anything. We walked for a good while before Pride stopped and turned to face the wall.
"Hey, Kid." I whipped around to the source and stared at the person who said it. He had a charming grin, though it was too smug for me to care. Like Mistress and Pride, he had lavender eyes, pale skin, and dark hair. He wore A black long sleeve tee shirt, and black sweatpants. red lines connecting red dots appeared throughout his outfit.
"My name is not Kid!" I shouted. "My name is Wrath!"
"So, you're the new Wrath, huh? I'm Lust." He said. "The others are out right now." I stared at him for a good while, with an angry expression. He made me feel uncomfortable, like you want to get away from something.
Now that I think about it, all of these guys make me feel that way. I thought.
"Alright, I've met everyone. Can I go out now?" I asked. I didn't like spending time in here, it made me feel unwelcome.
The next few years went by like a blur. Tracking down false leads over and over again. I've had a few battles here and there, but the battle I had when I had reached seventeen was one that would change my life forever. It was like a usual battle. I was facing someone who knew an art called Alchemy. He used it, and seemed to specialize in flames. He tried to launch sparks at me, I dodged them, I attacked him, it was as usual with these Alchemists. When I got him on the ground, and was about to finish him off, he said something that made me stop dead in my tracks.
"What does being human mean to you?"
