Dreams
The smell of the fresh spring grass and the new rains that fell down on the fields. It was the time he liked most. Gold strands stuck to flesh as the young boy ran through the rain. He was small; just a child. His body unworn and carefree as he laughed and ran and danced. His has were held out to either side as his feet led him through the tall plant life and back onto the rocky road.
So strange was the sensation; to be so happy. It was a wonderful feeling that was only concurred when the young blonds father came up from behind and scooped the child up off his feet. The older man laughed and twirled his son around in the air with a friendly smile. Grinning; the boy laughed back and shouted out with so much joy he thought his chest might burst.
Suddenly everything was black. The boy was older now but alone. Coughing blood on the ground and confused of where he was or why. He look at his hands and found them cold and white.
Where had the color of his skin went?
Darkness moved in so thick that not even the white flesh was seen. The boy head voices. Most unfamiliar and frightening but then something came forth. A woman's voice. His mother's voice. He reached out to it but it faded to nothing. Then a face appeared.
Father!
The boy cried out but the face looked sad. A deep sorrow in the man's eyes though he did not cry. Soon even this was gone.
Darkness. Loneliness. Nothingness.
That's all the boy new for what felt like a lifetime.
Then came a laugh. A cruel and deafening laugh that drove the boy to the brink of insanity. The boy screamed and felt his body being ripped apart. Each joint spitting and every bone cracking and his flesh tearing. He screamed in pain and cursed the darkness. Then his heart was removed. He felt it leave and the empty space it left fill with something new.
Hatred. Revenge. Suffering.
He felt his flesh rebuild and his body recreate itself. He felt his soul shift inside his new chest and his new heart begin to pump toxin through his veins. His eyes opened and he stood before a mighty gate with beautiful and haunting designs.
Where am I? Who am I?
"Envy..." The darkness cried out as the doors to the gateway shut.
Envy? Yes. I am Envy.
The darkness came again and Envy woke from this dream. Staring up at the ceiling he felt a shudder run through his entire body. The man was dead. So why did he still dream about things that were so pointless.
Why couldn't he forget that mans face?
Envy sighed and closed his eyes again.
Trying to erase his cruel memory.
Father...
...And darkness met him once again as he drifted back to sleep.
