Chapter 10- Good Morning

My eyes pop open to the setting sun. Im finally getting used to sleeping during the day and awakening at night. Envy's arm is securely wrapped around my waist and holding me against him. I look down to find that we're both completely naked. My cheeks flush as I sit up and look around at my surroundings.

We're still by the body of water but, something is different about today. The water pressure must have increased because today there is a water fall about ten feet tall, flooding over a stone drop-off in the far left side of the unknown body of water. I look around to see that Envy and I are laying in a grassy meadow mirroring the cliff we descended from yesterday.

I wiggle my way out of Envy's grasp and stand up. My mouth opens up enough for a yawn to escape and I stretch my arms out in front of me. I begin walking over to the water. I walk along the grass that slightly slopes up-hill to the flat rock surface the water from the water fall comes crashing down on. As curiosity bubbles to my face I hold my hand out and let the cool water surround it. I take a step on to the stone and than another so I'm standing directly below the flow of water.

The water is the perfect temperature for my body. I tilt my head back and my hair is quickly soaked by the rushing water. My hands brush the few stray strands of hair that cling to my forehead and fall back to my sides.

I once heard as a way of purifying the soul people would sit under water falls and meditate.

I let my mind race. Last nights events flooded back in a faded rush. I let Envy take me innocents away from me. His green hair tickling my body as it hung down over me. His sweet kisses along my body and of course his trademark smirk. My cheeks flushed again.

~Flashback~

"I love you." Envy murmured brushing hair away from my face with his fingertips.

"I love you." I repeated smiling.

Envy leaned his forehead on mine while we lay in the grassy field across from the cliff we jumped from.

Why do I believe Envy wasn't always like this? What was his former life like? I know he used to be with the other six sins but, why?

"Why were the other sins killed?" My thinking had begun to bubble out of my lips.

Envy's smooth even breathing stopped and brow furrowed.

"Im sorry. I didn't mean to." I said.

He didn't say anything for a moment and I thought he might have fallen asleep but soon he gave me a response.

"Have you heard about the Philosopher's stone" He asked.

"Yes, It's a stone made up of souls." I said remembering my father once talking about it.

"They're the red stones you've been eating."

I gasped.

"They're keeping you alive."

How could this be? I've been eating human souls!

"They're the only thing that will keep a Homunculus immortal. Well the military didn't like that very much. So they tried to kill us. Edward succeeded in killing all but two of us. I was able to escape. And I don't know how Wrath is alive." He explained.

I closed my eyes feeling sick to my stomach. That pain subsided when I realized if it weren't for the stones Envy would be dead and so would I. So in a way I'm thankful for the souls given to me.

I open my eyes and offer Envy an understanding smile. He smiles back at me almost as if he had read my mind.

~end of flashback~

I turn away from the water so that only my left side is being pounded with water. I look over at Envy to see that he is watching me. Suddenly I am very self-conscious. I feel my cheeks turn pink and Envy smirks. I begin to walk off the stone and leap to the grass. I walk over to him and place my hands on the ground. A pile of black clothing forms at my hands. I take the first set off the top and toss the other at Envy. He quickly catches it and begins getting dressed. I follow his actions and slip on the clothing I transmuted. I was able to transmute the clothes Envy was wearing before as well as mine.

A shiver runs threw my spine and I feel my eyes glaze over. In my mind I see Wrath and he's running threw the forest. He's searching for us. His teeth are gritted together and he's almost hissing.

I blink and see Envy in my face. He's so close I can feel his breath against my lips. He looks confused.

"What? What did you see?" He asks his lips brushing against mine as he talks.

I'm momentarily distracted by his lips. "Wrath. He's looking for us." I say almost as I can't believe it.

"Well why wouldn't he be?" Envy smirks as if this is all a joke.

"Hmm."

I put a finger to my lips as I think. He has a point. Wrath would still be looking for us. He'll probably keep looking until he finds us.

"Mhm." I agreed.

I smirk and press my lips to his. "I think we should look for him." I mumble matter of factly against his lips.

He sighs and pulls away from me.

"Way to ruin something good." He grumbles standing up.

I stand up and put my hands on my hips.

"Hmm. Is that all I am? Good?" I swiftly turn away from him trying to hide my smile.

It takes him a moment to answer.

"You aren't serious… are you?" He questions, obviously regretting what he said.

I hear him take a step closer and place a hand on my waist. "You think I ment that?" He questions.

"What reason wouldn't you have to?" I whimper looking at my feet, doing my best to hide my smile.

He places his other hand on my waist and turns me around to face him. I force myself to frown and suppress a giggle.

"I was only kidding." He says in a low quiet voice, placing a finger under my chin.

I quickly jerk my face away and look to the ground.

"Scarlett…" He whispers dropping his hand.

That's when I can take it anymore. A giggle slips from my lips and my face lights up in a huge smile.

"Wha-" Envy begins but I cut him off with a mixture of words and laughter.

"I didn't…think…that…you'd…actually…believe…me." I giggle uncontrollably.

I look back to Envy's face. It's a mixture of surprise and relief. It takes me a moment before I can control my laughter and finally stop. Envy's face slowly changes to something that looks like…hurt. My face falls as well as my heart.

"I was-" I start.

"You are one dangerous creature Scarlett." He smirks and grabs my waist.

Our bodies collide and his lips mash mine.

By the end of the day we had accomplished absolutely nothing. Sure I worked on my alchemy and learned slightly more control over what I transmute but that's it. We swam in the water for a bit and talked about Envy's past life as well as mine. I told him about being home schooled by my parents and he explained how Dante and the other six sins came to be.

The sun will be rising soon. We are laying on our backs watching the sky our hands intertwined when a wave is washed over my mind.

In my head I see Wrath. This time he's following our scent and he has an evil grin on his face. He knows he's getting close. Edward is several yards away from Wrath and struggling to keep up. I sit up and gasp.

"Scar…" Envy sits up as well.

"Wrath…" I whisper. "He's coming."

In my head I can hear Wrath talking. "You. You're going to die for abandoning me. And you're girlfriend. She'll perish too." His lips aren't moving though. These must be his thoughts.

"He… He says you abandoned him." I whisper, still watching Wrath weave between threes.

"I tried to save him from Fullmetal but wasn't able to. It was either I live or we both die. I guess we both ended up living." Envy explains.

I blink and Wrath is gone.

"Dante turned against us and left us. Fullmetal along with the military found us. They had us all trapped. Roy Mustang burned Lust and Gluttony. Fullmetal began using alchemy to rid us of our stones. I knew if I stepped in the transmutation circle to save Wrath I'd die along with him. So I swallowed my sorrow and watched as Edward killed each one of the remaining sins with alchemy. Wrath must have had a stone left in him." He looked down at his hands.

"I know I shouldn't have left him. Edward was walking towards me and he had just killed the sin with his mothers face. I could tell it was very hard for him so I turned into that woman. He wasn't able to stab me. I managed to land a kick in his gut and book it out of there. Alone." I could tell this was hurting him.

"It's in the past Envy." I attempt to comfort him.

I can hear pounding of feet against the ground in the distance, or just in my mind. I can't tell.

"Get ready." I murmur, standing up. "He's coming."
Envy stands with me. Our hands are still intertwined. I give his had and a quick squeeze. He returns the gesture.

"Stay back and let me do the fighting." He declares.

"Ha!" I exclaimed. "No way! He killed my parents. I'm killing him." My voice changed from jocular to seeping with acid.

He's smirking now. I don't even have to look over at him to know he is. A figure is moving closer to us, running in towards us in the middle of the meadow.

"Hello, Scarlett…Envy!" It yells from across the field as it quickly closes the distance between us with Edward far behind him.

It's Wrath. I am one-hundred percent, absolutely sure of it.

"Hello Wrath." I say as he stops. "Good morning."

The sun is rising behind them. Edward finally comes to a stop at Wrath's side.

"How polite." Wrath grins and takes a step closer to me.

I lean back on my feet and spring at him, sparking the fight.

There will be two more chapters. I know I'm sad too. The first will be a regular chapter than the last one will be an epilog. Please review. Im sorry this chapter took me a while. Writers block.

Thanks.
