"Just gimme the damn shirt. Now." She hissed, resting her head on the sill. "I'm so gonna kick all your asses as soon as I'm decent!" Suddenly she was aware that anyone passing underneath of her would be able to see her bare chest. "Please hurry." She muttered.
"We're hurrying!" Ed assured her, quickly mending the torn shirt with Alchemy. Closing his eyes, he passed the shirt to her. "There!"
Almost the second she put the shirt on, Edwina hurled herself at Edward, quickly paralyzing him. She then quickly put Al out of commission. And then she attempted to tackle her mother, but wound up sprawling on top of Edward.
"You fucking bitch. Why couldn't you just have died?" she snarled before running out the door.
About three hours later, Edwina still hadn't returned to the hotel. She was wandering down a maze of allies. "Damn. Where's Scar when I need him? Fuck." she swore.
"Oh, some little girl is looking for the Ishvalan now, is she? So what's your connection to him, huh?" someone sneered.
Edwina whipped around. Three people stood behind her. She took a deep breath to catch their scent. "You aren't human. But I smell human blood on all three of you. Chimeras?" she asked, cocking her head.
"Nice try, but no. We're Homunculi. So, what is your connection to Scar?" purred a tall woman with a perfect body.
Edwina shrugged. "I'm trying to die. Scar seems like an easy way to do it. He's already killed me once. I just need to have him kill me a few more times."
"You want to die? Well, we can do that for you!" laughed the first one, a young pale man with long hair.
Edwina held still for a moment. "Wait!" she whispered. Her mother had been holding something in her hand. Her collar! She couldn't die without the collar! She quickly dodged the young man's blow, using Alchemy to root his feet to the ground.
"Oh, another sacrifice!" he laughed.
"So I can't eat her?" asked the fat one, who was right behind her.
"Stay away from me!" Edwina yelled, mentally going over her studies. Homunculi. Homunculi. Homunculi were artificially created humans, made when a Philosopher's Stone entered the blood-stream. They had regenerative abilities, and would only die if the Stone was destroyed. But, she wondered, would it work if the Stone was swallowed?
Going over her studies had slowed her down. She was thrown into the building, the wall collapsing as she passed through it. Quickly, she landed on her feet and avoided the chunks of stone. "So, you're all Homunculi. What're your names?" she asked, panting slightly.
"I'm Envy. And these are Gluttony and Lust." chuckled the young man.
"Three of the Seven Sins. Greed, Gluttony, Lust, Envy, Sloth, Wrath and Pride are the greatest sins man-kind bears." Edwina said slowly.
"Very good. Now, are you gonna come quietly, or are we gonna have to beat you into submission?" Envy asked her.
"Oh, gee. I think I'll take C: None of the above!" she yelled, letting her ears and tail show as she leapt at him, fangs ripping into his neck. He stumbled, and she jumped off him. "Ready for more? 'Cause my ma may be a bitch, but I know the rule is never to go with strange people!"
