Chapter 6- Monster

After Envy left, I leapt from the bed, naked I might add and waltzed to Nevaeh's room. She was sitting up in her bed. Her eyes widened when she saw I was naked.

"Could you transmute me clothes?" I murmured.

She grabbed one of her pillows and transmuted it in to the clothes Father had ordered me to wear. I quickly slipped into the tiny, tight clothing.

"Come on." I ordered, grabbing her hand.

We ran out of her room and down the hall to Wrath's room. I opened the door and saw Wrath practicing simple alchemy with various objects around the room. I pushed my sister into the room.

"Wrath, you better take care of her!" I yelled.

"Sister what's wrong?" Nevaeh asked.

"I'll tell you later." I said, closing the door and running down the hallway.

My feet pounded on the ground as I raced to get to where Father was regularly. Hopefully Greed and Envy would be there as well. I skidded to a stop when I bust into the open space and saw Father standing up yelling at Greed and Envy.

"Father!" I gasped.

He looked to me with a stern look. "I don't care what you two do but I do not want it causing fights. Understand?"

I nodded, bowing. "My apologize father."

Father then looked at Envy who was shaking with anger. We both looked at Greed. He was doing the same.

Father waved down the hall. "Just this once. Go on. Get it out of your systems."

Greed and Envy took off down the opposite hall we had come from. My feet padded towards them. I struggled to keep up but managed. As I bounded into the open space I saw something happening to Envy's body. It was almost bubbling. Then his arm shot away from his body and it began to grow. It grew into a huge monster type thing. I started to back up in fear. This creature had something that looked like people dripping off him. I turned and ran back towards where Nevaeh was.

I ran past Father who said nothing to me and down the hallway where all the bedrooms were. I stormed into Wrath's room. Nevaeh was sitting on the bed with Wrath. I grabbed her arm and dragged her out of the room.

"What's wrong Radiance?" She yelled.

I yanked her into my room and back into the bathroom. After pushing her into the bathtub and sat in with her. I gabbed her and pulled her close to me.

"You're shaking." She whispered.

"Shh. Just stay quiet, let me calm down." I said in a shaky voice.

She obeyed me. It took me a while to slow my breathing and slow my heart rate. My body was shaking and my eyes were still wide. All I could see was the huge monster I saw Envy turn into. It was so…it couldn't be real…could it? I exhaled a shaking breath.

"Nevaeh," I whispered. "There is a lot more to homunculi then we thought. They're capable of much more then we assumed. I just saw.." I trailed off.

Nevaeh shook my shoulder, "Tell me sister." She murmured.

I looked to her eyes and said, "Envy can transform into…a monstrous type being."

"What?" she looked at me like I was crazy. I imagine I sounded crazy.

I kept quiet, offering her no more information.

How the hell could this be? Now that I really thought about it, when I fought Envy he always seemed rather heavy. Heavier then he looked. That must have been because of the souls in his body.

There were footsteps rushing down the hall. I clutched Nevaeh closer to me. There was a knock on the door. I didn't answer.

"Sis-"

"Shh." I cut my sister off in mid-sentence.

I waited for a second knock but non came. Instead whoever it was simply opened the door.

"Radiance?" The voice called out. It was Greed.

I stood up from the bathtub and looked back to Nevaeh, telling her to stay put. My hand grabbed the doorknob to the bathroom shakily. I shut the door behind me as I stepped out.

"Greed. What the fuck was that?"

Greed explained to me that those things that looked like people dripping off Envy were the souls of his philosophers stone.

"I see…" I murmured.

It just didn't seem possible that Envy could be holding that many souls in his body. How could a human sized creature turn into a huge…monster.

I needed to leave for a while. I just needed to have time with my sister to get my mind off of things. We could leave for a while and come back…right?

"Greed," I said, looking in his eyes. "Do you think Nevaeh and I could leave? Just for a little while. Two days tops maybe?" I made my eyes slightly bigger and jutted out my lower lip ever so slightly in effort to look cute.

He smirked. "You'd have to ask Pops."

I called Nevaeh into the room and bent down to her level. I explained to her that we were going to ask father if we could leave for a few days. She understood why we had to ask him.

Greed led us down the hall. My mind began reeling. What if Father said 'No'? Would I be able to stay sane in this crazy place. Surly not. I could go to my room and exile everyone except my sister for a few days. It would only be long enough to clear my thoughts.

"Nevaeh, Radiance, Greed. What is it?" Father's voice grumbled threw the room as we entered.

"Um…Father. I was wondering if Nevaeh and I could leave. But only for a couple of days! Two tops! We'd be back before sun down on the second day, I promise!" I'm not sure why I felt like I needed his permission so much for only knowing him a few days. I felt like I was indebted to him.

"Hmmm, I suppose. As long as you would be back on that second day. If you weren't I would have to send Greed…or Pride to go find you." I knew right away Greed would have mercy, Pride however would not.

"We would be back." I said solemnly.

He looked to me. "We then, yes."

I bowed my head. "Thank you. Would it be alright if we left now?"

"Of course."

With that, I took Nevaeh's had and began walking towards our exit. Greed followed us.

"I'll walk you out." Greed said taking my other hand.

We didn't bother taking anything with us. Anything we might need Nevaeh could transmute. We passed Envy in the hall. He seemed to be shaking with anger. He glared at me as we passed and Greed pulled me a bit closer. That only caused Envy's glair to intensify.

The glare made my insides melt, I felt terrible for making him so angry. My feet stopped walking and Greed and Nevaeh looked at me with confused looks. I looked over Envy.

"Envy!" I called.

He looked back to me and growled, "What?"

"I'm sorry." I murmured as sincere as I could.

He gave me one slight nod, his glare loosened a bit he continued to walk down the hall.

Greed led us up to the streets and we quickly ducked into an ally. Nevaeh transmuted some clothes for us and Greed kept watch for passing people. I dawned a pair of jeans, red tank top and black jacket. It was still a bit cold outside. Nevaeh put on similar clothing to mine. She wore a black shirt and white jacket with jeans.

When we were finished changing Greed came back over to us.

"I'll see you in two days, Dollface." He said before quickly kissing me and running back to Homunculi HQ.
