Chapter Eight:

Crossing The Line

The reason that Envy did not get phone numbers, is for once simple reason, she dose not own a phone. Second is because, she'd rather talk to people in person, third she had no idea how to use a phone. Stopping she found herself underneath some trees, Damn the Bradley really did have a big house. By the time she's found her way to the iron gates they are closed.

Standing just outside them she frowned, she could transform into a bird, but that would mean leaving her clothes behind. Outside of the gate, are rows and rows of trees, it would take her forever to get home at that rate. Still she felt hot, could feel a sickening feeling in her stomach, her heart beat pounded firmly in her chest.

She felt as if she's being trapped, stuck, she shivered, flinching her hands slipping into her new bag, how on earth did anyone leave? The wind stuck at her skin, its a lot colder outside, she had her head bowed catching her breath. A moment later she could hear the door opening to her surprise, then she saw it a camera.

"Oh Thanks," She spoke softly, that's when she heard something a car driving down the road. Pausing, she tensed, moving well out of the way she waited. A black limo drove past, but as it did so it slowed down, one of the windows opened.

"Need a ride?" To her surprise it's Hohenheim, he's smiling at her, standing up straight she gave him a hard long look.

"Where you waiting for me?" Perhaps she's in more trouble then she initially thought, still she's not exactly scared of Hohenheim. It would probably be a two hour walk home, she could cut it in half if she few home. But then she'd have to leave her things behind, shrugging her shoulders she walked up to the door, before opening it.

Hohenheim is sitting in one corner, sipping on some whine, "Bradley informed me of what happened,"

Theirs no need to inform the police of a kidnapping, an entire seat separates the two of them. That and it's Edward Dad, and she knew he's genuine. She finds herself relaxing, helping herself to some peanuts. After sometime, she eats some of the nuts, chewing happily.

They are salty, good, but she knew theirs something that he wants to talk about. Otherwise he wouldn't be here.

"Bradley probably wants to sponsor you now," Chuckled Hohenheim, "He probably wants to gain your favour for the fights," Envy knows what he's talking about.

At the end of the year they would fight with Phoenix, showing the skills that the Military academy had given both of them. It's suppose to be a friendly competition, so far their has been no fatalities, but sever injuries do often occur. "I have no intention of swapping Sponsors, or going let alone entering any fights."

"It's all in good fun," laughed Hohenheim, "I was a bit surprised when he called me, I wonder why is it that you don't have a phone?" He's talking smoothly but Envy scolded, rolling her eyes she had been asked that many times. But when he asked, she didn't resist letting out a mock laugh.

"Do not play dumb with me, Hohenheim of light," Spat Envy, her voice shaking with anger, "You know all about what happened don't you? It's why you have such a big interest in me, isn't it?" Dam him! The Elric are a rather cunning bunch, manipulating her however they want to.

Who do they think they are dealing with? "I know somethings, I've heard some whispers," Admitted Hohenheim scratching his chin, "I know that, you've been hurt, many times, and are struggling with the pain," He's wearing a red tuxedo like usual, with a green tie, he's smiling at her, carrying a file in his hands.

"Shut up! As if a human could understand the pain I went through!" Envy shouted at him loudly, "As if you know what it's like!" She screamed at him with rage, the driver slowed down at the shouting, they had stopped but they stopped too soon. They are not at her home, Envy arms are shaking.

"Envy you need some help, so I arranged for a psychologist to help you with your problems," Who dose he think he is? Did he think he owned her, what the fuck? She's not mental! Theirs nothing wrong with me!

"I informed the school, of your current mental states, along with giving them your file," Its like someone has thrown her in the limelight. The very thing she had been dreading, the next thing they'd be locking her up.

She would never forgive him! This Fucking Bastard! It's all his fault! What a BASTARD! How could he do this to her?

"Is that why you invited me to the fundraiser for! You thought you could use your son to get to me!" Envy voice is shaking with rage, What the fuck? What kind of parent would use his child this way? Furry burned in her eyes. He's a Fucking Bastard! She should shove that paper down his throat!

"Envy please, I'm not trying to fight with you," Still her face is red with anger, she grabs a hold of the door and yanks it off.

She heard the cracks of something breaking, "SHUT UP! You Bastard!" Envy bellowed at him, throwing the door hard, onto the street.

The sound of metal hitting the pavement, crushing into the street, it's dark outside by this time. The clouds gathering in the distance, but the battle has already started.

"I don't want anything from you! And I don't need your help! Who said you could do that?"Envy can't even look at him, she's about to bloody murder him, slipping out the door, "BASTARD!" Envy bellowed at the top of her lungs.

"Envy calm down! I'm not going to hurt you," he spoke nervously, all the same he's opening his side of the door. "Just wait a minuet-

Fucking Bastard! She'd never, forgive him how could he say those things? How could he tell people, give out her personal information! Envy had trusted him, "I trusted you! You Bastard!" Envy loosing it , "Your a jerk! How could you do that?" Envy huffed, loosing her temper she kicked at the nearest thing which happened to be the vehicle.

The air is cool, but it dose little to calm the spilling volcano, it's leaking from her mouth, hot, heavy, wild, and most definitely unstoppable.

It dented, the tire went flat, Envy cursed, rounding on him, she's walking to him, fists rose, he's backing away, mouth open, "I'm just trying to help," He's speaking, but her eyes are burning with rage, Hohenheim, lifting his arms in defence. Envy went rigid, and raises her fists, and clocks Hohenheim in the face.

Smack, the sound of flesh hitting skin, bouncing off, it radiates through her bone, but the pain is already fading. The world shakes all around her, the sound of the car, she can hear some doors opening, some running of feet. But she dose not care if Wrath shows up demanding that she stopped, no way in hell is she going to do that!

"Stay away from me! You Liar!" What a sneaking cunning Bastard, he wanted the same things that Bradley did. He's just making Bradley to appear the perpetrator rather then himself! Envy can read in between the lines just fine!

Hohenheim moans, "Wow you hit like a truck!" he complained his glasses knocked off his idiot face, he's landed on the grass, he should have landed on his fucking Head! Envy scolds, and aims a kick at him. But he's scrambling out of the way, "Now, now no need for violence," he didn't sound very happy at the sound of fighting her. "Please would you just listen," he stammered.

Envy stomps hard on the ground, and she can hear his driver getting out of the car, Fuming with anger she can hear some people coming to their fight. Rather then running away from it, "SHUT UP! You don't think I know when I'm being played?" Envy yelled at him, basically spitting in his face.

"You thought you could use the crush on Edward, to your advantage did you?" She's loosing it, "I'm not your toy! I'm not you weapon!" She shrieks at him, loosing her temper, she lunges at him and punches at him. Hohenheim is faster then he looks and manages to dodge, her first three punches.

But she kicks him hard knocking into the ground, "Fucking Bastard! You think you could trick me!?" She shrieks at him loosing it, she wondered if he heard any of the words she said. "Fuck you! ASS HOLE!" Some people gasp behind her, Hohenheim isn't honestly putting up a fight.

She kicks him hard in the stomach, rendering him speechless, he's clinging at his stomach, but blocks her second kick with a golden barrier. Gritting her teeth, she feels her leg, being stuck in mid air, she yanks it back. Fuming, he dare used Alchemy on her?

"I thought you were taking me home!" Envy shouting up the street, a car drives past, Hohenheim face is swelling a bit now. His face is flustered, and Envy is losing control, it's exploding time, she's slashing punching at him, he's dancing out of the way. Bending, shrinking, she's slashing at him, relentlessly.

Envy dose not care, she dose not care who sees! Everyone should know what a Fucking jerk this man is!

"Wait a minuet please stop, this is a misunderstanding," a misunderstand? Envy lost it then, and lashed out at him, swinging her fists, he slipped out of the way like a fish. Sliding, and retreating, but he made no move to fight back.

"I was just trying to help that's all!"That is the wrong thing to say, he's crossed, no destroyed the line. No way! She's giving him a chance. A dark look appeared on her face, she swings her arms in a wild jester giving him the finger.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP! You Fucking Bastard!" Envy shrieks at the top of her lungs, lashing out at him, she can hear some shouting. Beating him, she shoved her fist, knocking him to the ground, somehow he's still holding onto her file. Smack, the sound of flesh hitting flesh, blood spilt onto her wrist.

Thud! Her fists slams hard onto the barrier, pushing her back, she refuses to let go of the papers, clinging it with her. How he looks like Edward, but that's just it he's not Edward, not Edward, she dose not care if shes mooning after his son.

"YOU BASTARD!" She's screaming with frustration loosing her voice, she's panting heavily, from exhaustion. Her entire body shuddering, limping a bit, she cringes, flinching teeth clung together, gritting at him, "FUCK YOU!" She kicked him hard, "Who said you could do that!? I don't need anything from you!"

He can't talk, because she's punching him but a golden force filed has formed around his head, her punches slam into it, she tries to bury her knuckles into his head. Spitting basically saliva flies out of her mouth, in a wild fit.

"HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT? Who said you could go behind my back and give them my file?" She shrieked lashing out at him, grabbing a hold of the papers, shoving her face at him. Looking him in the eyes, with wild, hate filled ones. Hohenheim did the smart thing and didn't bother holding on to them.

But he couldn't look at her, a look of sadness, and pain split across his lips. "Envy I am just trying to help, honest," but she's heard enough, she knows that he's lying.

"How did you get clearance anyways, probably paid them to look the opposite way did you?" she hissed. Hohenheim is opening his mouth to say something, but he's not dumb enough to try and stop her. She rounds on the poor car and slams her foot into it, the entire thing swings over on to it's side.

She's not giving him a chance to defend himself, he dose not deserve it!

Half the fucking block is outside, but she dose not care, Hohenheim is nursing a broken nose. The car man is well out of the way, but he looks like he might faint, and moves Father away out of range. She dose not look at him close enough, arms shaking with frustration, she can see red, she's had enough of this human!

Hohenheim is smart enough to move out of the way, she yanks it from him and holds it to her chest, "This is private, not just back ground information you can give away without my say so, you bribed them didn't you?" she hissed giving him a venomous look. An accusing tone, lingered in her voice, shes shaking trembling.

Finding it hard to stand, tears burn in the corner of her eyes. Envy had been duped again, "You think I'd learn," she muttered crossly, "You think I'd know better by now,"

Hohenheim adjusted his glasses, Envy isn't sure what's being said, "I hate you, you Bastard," Envy hissed venomously, Hohenheim flinches, as if he's heard those words many time. It's too late now, she cannot trust him, will not trust him ever again.

"These were sealed for a reason," Envy spitting venom at him, she kicks at Hohenheim a look of rage on her face, Hohenheim has this look on his face. One that makes her snort, how dare he look so incredibly guilty. "Your going to get me killed," she spoke in a dangerous soft voice. Hunched over, trembling.

Like a weakling, like a pathetic worm.

At that he looked shocked,"I'm sorry, I meant what I said before, I didn't mean to cause you distress," Looking at him, recoils from him and gives him a angry stare. Eyes burning with furry, she snarls at him, shivering with furry, Fuck him and his whole damn family!

It's like he's the one who hit her, Envy smacks him hard slapping him in the face, face beat red, she should beat the living daylights out of him. How dare he do this? How dare he say those things? As if he could understand what she went to. He's just using her, using his son to get to her.

"Screw you Hohenheim! Your a sneaky son of a Bitch aren't you!?" Envy yelled at him, "You think I'd fall for that nonsense! You just want me to fight for you! It's the same as Bradley! I'm not your toys! I'm not your Fucking War machine!" her voice becomes quieter, he's pushed her too far.

No one is stupid enough to try to stop her, some people are dealing some numbers, probably calling the police or something. Hohenheim has this look of pain on his face, sadness, for a second she's numb, her fists stained with his blood. He's a mess, but she's hardly breathing now, a pain burns in her chest, she huffs, breathing hard.

Holding her arms tighter around it, "You like your games don't you?" She spat, face flustered, "But its a game you will not win, so don't even bother Hohenheim, I don't need your sponsorship," She yanked it out of her pocket before throwing it down on the ground. "I don't need anything from you!" Snarling gritting her teeth with rage.

She had trusted him! Falling for it hook line and sinker! Bradley had been smarter, trying to get her to bond with Lust, Greed, and Winery. It's all a trap to make her let them get their hold, so they could try to pro sway her to join in their game. "I'm not falling for it your little trap!" Envy snarled, "I'm no ones toy! I'm no ones property!"she's trembling with unrestrained rage.

"You son of a Bitch! I'll kill you! I'll rip your arms off and stick them down your throat!" She shouted, furious, she can feel him tugging on her wrist some more, "Who said you could-," her hands are shaking, one wrapped tightly around her papers.

Noticing Edward, and Alphonse standing at the block, that girl and her pet bear is with her, nearly everyone had come out of their houses. But she's not really looking at them, she's too angry, the world shakes all around her.

Breathing heavily, Envy is basically spitting, her chest is heaving from the effort of her shouting match, eyes livid, she can't look away. Fuck, he's trapped her like a spider in his web, all it takes is a finger touch, and she's his, "God Dammit," she cursed, storming into the middle of the street.

"I heard about what happened," Hohenheim spoke up, "During the thunderstorm, I thought, that I could help, that's all, honest," he's calling after her, "I'm sorry if I crossed a line," Envy face becomes utterly wounded, as if he's dealt a low blow, she flinches, no way! How could he say that out loud, face reddened.

In front of Edward, how could he say it in front of him? He's manipulating me, why dose it matter anyways? Why dose it matter at all? I should be use to this by now, he might as well throw me in front of the bus. One after the other, the thought spilled out of her mind, how could she have allowed this to happen?

"Shut up!SHUT UP!," She hissed venomously, she screwed up her eyes, suddenly turning away from them. Making a run for it, she wouldn't let him! No way! Every human, they did this to her, they betrayed her. Tears burned in the corner of her eyes, this humiliation at being tricked.

Just like everyone else, just like every other human! He didn't care about her, she had been fine with just looking at him. But now, now she felt a hole find it's way into her heat. Something stung, deep within her, tears dripped, spilling out of her face.

He had left a huge hole, she had risked so much just trusting a single human. Basically running now, she recoiled, her legs trembling. Panting heavily, she's finding it hard to breath, filling a bit light headed again, it's like she's trapped.

Envy did not bother to turn around, to see his face, she could see a car in front of her, and Winery is staring, standing with a rather old looking woman. Oh that's just great! Ignoring her, she storms past them, feel beads of sweat drip down her head.

What did he know about her 'thunder' problem, what the fuck did he know!?Not bothering to look over her shoulder. What a fucking nut case! He's the Monster! The Bastard! He's the bloody worm! Storming she stopped in the middle of the road, making a run for it.
