Ok first I don't own fma second be prepared as this is an envyxoc story and envy might seem ooc ok cool read on if you want
First impressions
"Man it so gloomy today" the brunette moaned as she sat on the wooden bench looking up at the sky. "looks like it might rain soon too, best be getting home" she stood up and tugged her purple fleece tighter round herself and started on her way as the rain started to fall, her black jeans clinging to her grey steel toed boots.
Her wet hair was now covering her blue eyes as she looked up at the sky "man it got heavy fast I don't even have an umbrella" she moaned as she saw lightning so she ran under a overhang on a building and started to count "1…2…3…4" CRASH, "look like this storms quite close" she whispered as she looked up again to see red lightning, "that's weird".
As she said that the rain just stopped "that even weirder" she came out of her shelter and rung her soaked hair before setting of again not realizing she was heading to where the red lightning struck.
As the girl turned the corner into an ally way she was stopped by two thugs "hey pretty lady you lost?"
"No just on my way home"
"Why are you going home? Don't you want to have some fun first?" the thug leaned forward
"No I don't, please leave me alone!" she backed away
The first thug stepped forward and put his hand on her shoulder the girl stepped back again and kneed the thug until he crouched over to cover where she hit him the other thug wasn't impressed
"Why you little brat" and he punch the girl in the face only to be met by the end of her boot as she swung it up as she hit the ground.
As she laid on the ground attempting to get up, the thug picked up a pipe and held it menacingly over the girl, he was about to strike when another boy kicked him in the face, as the thug stumbled back the new boy proceeded to beat him without thought until he laid on the ground his face covered in blood but he was still breathing
"If anyone's going to beat up useless girls round here its going to me got it" he smirked with a growl the thug who was crouched over picked up his partner and ran.
The girl managed to pick herself up so she was now kneeling and rubbing the back of her head "man why do I get myself into these stupid situations" she moaned when she noticed the boy standing next to her with his hands on his hips looking down at her.
Seeing the boy the girl eyes widened she was an manga fan so she knew this boy well and she knew she was in trouble, the boy was slim with green palm like hair wearing a headband and green clothing with a mark on his leg his purple slitted eye staring down at her, this boy was the homunculus, envy,
Trying to pretend that she didn't know him she stood up and dusted herself off "thanks for the help back there" envy shrugged
"Would help if you knew how to fight"
"heh like I haven't heard that before" she smirked and turned to leave and waved back "guess I'll be seeing you around then" but as she started she almost ran into envy as he stepped in front of her
"Whoa creepy much" she whispered
"Hey I didn't catch your name girl" he smirked
"Oh it's scarlet" she smiled "um do you have anywhere to stay? You don't look like you're from around here" he smirked again
"No im not from here" he stepped closer "how do you know that kid?"
"Just a guess" she lied as she shrugged
"You're lying" he said in a singsong voice as he moved towards to her. Scarlet was getting frightened and she stepped back and gulped.
After a staring contest between the two scarlet finally caved "ok, ok envy I give I'll tell you what you need to know, but not here"
"So you do know me then?"
"Yes but not in the way you know"
"Oh really?"
"Yes really! Man your annoying" she sighed "look, my mothers away for three months you can stay in the guest room for that time ok" she suggested
"Fine but if you even try to put a leash on me you're going to regret it"
"Im not going to alright, lets go" she turned to leave when she heard a rumbling from behind her, she turned again to see envy staring at himself confused
"Don't tell me" she moaned when she remembered
"What!"
"In this world as there is no such as alchemy, homunculus, or chimeras, so my guess is that this world has nullified your abilities which is why you might be hungry?"
"What?" he looked like he was about to jump at me but instead he looked at himself surprised
"How did you know that!" he growled
"Wait did you just try to change?"
"NO IM JUST STANDING HERE LOOKING AT YOU COS I FEEL LIKE IT OF COURSE I TRIED TO!"
"Ok chill envy it just means that you're going to have be careful"
"And what exactly do you mean by that kid?"
"Well it means that you're easier to kill for one" the girls face was serious as if she was in fact ready to kill him
"Oh and like your going to be the one to kill me"
"If you don't get out of my face ill make a pretty good attempt"
"Ooh sound like you've got a pretty good mouth on you but as I said before it not like you can fight?"
This was proved wrong as scarlet immediately swung her leg up and it contacted with his chin sending him flying
"Who says I can't" she commented as she swung her leg back "I'm just not very good"
She waited for envy to get back up, when he did though he had a look of pure shock on his face, scarlet wasn't surprised since this guy has never felt pain that lasted more than a second before.
She turned "you coming or what?" she called back as she left, not looking back it's a good thing he hasn't got his powers or else id be dead right now she sighed as she carried on not really caring if envy was following or not,
She just wanted to get home, when she did she glanced back to spot envy moping behind her, "quit moping will ya it's not like im putting you in a cell ok"
She sighed as she opened the door, no sooner did she get through the hall that she immediately discarded her fleece showing her blue tube top that showed of the scars on her back.
She went into the kitchen without a word leaving envy in the hall. Sighing he looked up the stairs after glancing back at the kitchen where scarlet went he crept up the stairs two find a wide hallway with multiple doors and a stand with a telephone on it, four of the doors had names on them "mum's" were one of them next to that was "bathroom" on the opposite side was a door that said "guest room" and next to that was one that said "scarlet" in a different way to the others as this was painted on.
Envy chose to enter this room first to find out about his captor, inside was a large bedroom with dark blue walls with a few posters of dragons on them as well as drawings "so the kid likes to draw" he mused but paused when he saw exactly what was drawn one was a drawing of a girl crouched down in a battle stance dragon wings protruding from her back as well as a tail in her hand was a staff of some sort. Another drawing was one of a bunch of people with one of them looking like the girl at the top of it said "childhood friends" there were other drawings too some of creatures, some of people, even an attempt at a dragon or two but one picture stuck out to envy.
It was above a drawing desk that was hidden by a computer desk the picture wasn't drawn but printed, envy felt shock when saw, Edward's face with Alphonse and Winry. He paused as he saw a bunch of books open on the desk at different pages as well as paper plastered with pictures all of which had the same connection.
They were all from his life "so this is how she knows me?"
He asked as he picked up one of the books and looked at the cover again it had Ed's face on it but its title said Fullmetal Alchemist. After flicking through it and four others envy felt a little confused
this kid knows me knows what I can do so why is she willing to help me, is it because my powers here aren't working?
Downstairs listening to her music Scarlet was cooking her favorite lazy meals, pasta and meatballs after she finished and dish it onto two plates she realized the envy was a little to quiet in fact he wasn't even there oh shoot he better not be in my room
She went to the foot of the stairs and drew her breath she knew exactly how to get her voice to be loud without effort it just needed the right amount of lung power
"YO PALM TREE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DIE OF HUNGER GET DOWN HERE"
She yelled and went back to the kitchen this time pouring herself some black liquid into a glass and taking a gulp of the fizzy stuff when she noticed envy in the doorway with his eyes narrowed on to her
"so where did you disappear of to then?" she asked but he didn't answer after staring at him she realized "you went in my room didn't you?" she looked down and put her glass down on the counter "so what do you want to do with me then?" she asked looking at him from the corner of her eye ready for any attack he might do.
But instead he sat down resting his head on his hand and looked away from her
what is wrong with me, I have a psychopath in my house and I happen to think he's cute man im such a twit she thought as she grabbed both plates and placed one in front of envy "here this should shut your stomach up" she said simply as she went to the opposite chair and sat down with her own meal.
As she started eating envy spoke "why are you doing this?"
"Doing what?"
"Being nice to me you idiot" he growled Scarlet just looked down
"to be honest I don't know part of me wants to get away from you but most of me just wants to help someone that's in need"
"Like that's an excuse"
"at least im telling the truth envy" she didn't say anything else but instead continued eating, after staring at her envy did the same but quicker at first but when he was satisfied that scarlet wasn't going to do anything he slowed down a little not caring about taste or anything.
Once finished Scarlet put the plates in the washing machine and gulped the last of her drink. "You know where the guest room is right?" envy nodded as she went up the stairs and past the guest room to another further down the hall "hey where exactly are you going kid"
"your not staying in that one its like a box with a window your staying in this one there" she opened the door when she came to the room and let envy in "it's a lot bigger and has a balcony and roof window so you can come and go as you please" she explained as she turned to leave "I'll let you do what you want I on the other hand am going to bed" she said as she passed envy
Once in her room she looked round only thing out of place where her books good he didn't see any of my other pictures or stories she smiled changing into her deep purple nightgown that she only wore during the summer but instead of getting into bed she went to the large double doors and onto her own balcony staring at the stars above her.
"Mum, please be safe out there" she whispered with tears in her eyes not knowing that envy was sitting on the roof, watching her.
Ok so I apologise for my grammar I know im rubbish at it so give me a break
Anyway here's chapter one and if envy seems a little out of character tell me ok ^^
