Eerrggg…Not a fast update…at all…

Do I still get the pastries??

When I woke up, it was one of those very rare moments I actually remembered what happened. And I remembered it all too well. When I finally regained consciousness, my eyes snapped open so violently I wouldn't be surprised if I ended up hurting myself because of it.

When I found myself to be alone, I calmed down. I sat up slowly, and swung my legs over the side of the bed. My throat was soar and my muscles ached. As soon as my feet touched the floor, the door swung open, and in stepped Lust.

"Hello," she greeted after a small awkward pause. I blinked, eyes wide, and replied shakily.

"Umm…hi…!" She smiled that same lazy smile, and I was immediately curious. "What is it?" I asked warily. She kept on smiling and replied teasingly.

"You and Envy do look good together."

My eyebrow twitched, and my eyes slowly widened.

Envy…?

Me…?

Together…?

"What?!?" I exploded, but she didn't flinch, she just walked in the room casually, taking a seat at the other side of the room. "Together? What do you mean, together?" I spat angrily.

She sat there, smirking, seemingly unfazed. "No need to be embarrassed," She assured me, "…I think it's cute…"

"There is nothing…'cute'…going on between Envy and me." I scowled, but she didn't respond. She only rolled her eyes and sighed. "Why are you here anyway?" I demanded. She turned her ultra-violet eyes on me and, for a moment, didn't answer.

"I was going to wake ou up, but I see your up already." She drawled. I frowned and stood up.

"I'll get dressed." I said and grabbed a pair of pants and a shirt.

I sighed overdramatically and shut the door behind me as I entered the bathroom. I swear I heard Lust giggle, but I decided to ignore it. I looked over in the mirror and nearly groaned.

My hair was a rat's nest, I had bags under my eyes. I grabbed a bar of soap from the bathtub, then found a small cloth. I used it to wash my face, then combed through my hair with my fingers.

I ended up putting it up into a messy bun with one of the many pony-tail holders on my wrist.

I slipped on the fitted kaki pants, only reaching just passed my knees, and then put on a short sleeve t-shirt that reached my belly-button. I looked in the mirror, wishing I had at least some eyeliner to put on. I didn't really need mascara, my eyelashes were long enough, but I liked wearing eyeliner to make my eyes look less…tired.

Or, I thought, maybe to look like Lust, then I wouldn't need makeup.

Sighing with disapproval at my over-all sloppy (but okay) appearance, I trudged out of the bathroom. Lust was, just as before, sitting at the far end of the room. I felt a pang of jealousy at her perfect appearance, but brushed it off.

If I knew one thing, it was that jealousy really made someone a bitch, and I didn't want to turn into one of those.

"I'm ready," I said tiredly, shifting my weight to my left leg and scratching me head--very unladylike.

She stood and waltz gracefully towards the door, me following suite--minus the graceful part. I whacked into the side of the doorframe as I walked out.

She chuckled, but otherwise said nothing. We continued down the hall, me bumping into something every once and a while. I had no idea where I was, but I figured it was some hotel…or something.

I rubbed my eyes tiredly, in that cat-like way that Envy pointed out, and yawned widely. In my moment of unawareness, we reached the stairs.

Oops.

Since I didn't know the stairs were there, I stepped forward, and when my foot came into contact with no ground, I kind of fell…

"Amber!" I heard someone call, but I couldn't distinguish the voice. It sounded like Lust, but I couldn't be sure.

I tumbled down the stairs and hit flat ground within seconds. My head hurt, and my elbows, mostly my back, but especially my leg.

"Amber? Amber? Are you okay?" I could barely recognize it as Lust's voice.

"What the Hell happened?" A familiar voice snarled, I screwed up my eyebrows and blinked my eyes open. My brow relaxed and I looked up at Envy.

He looked furious. But he wasn't looking at me.

"Sorry." I owned up to it. This was my fault, after all. I'm the one who fell. His eyes snapped down to meet mine, his frown still in place. I smiled sheepishly.

"What do you mean, 'sorry?' How was this--"

"I tripped," I said quickly, interrupting him, "Well, actually--" I found it hard to talk, my throat hurt a lot, "--I just kind of…missed the top step."

He looked at me as if I had just lost my mind, "Missed the--How could you just--?" He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose and shaking his head. "Of course…" He said, disappointedly.

Lifting his head from his hand, he reached down and threw my arm over his shoulder, then slid his arm around my waist, hoisting me up. He looked over at Lust expectantly.

She was smirking, "No, I think you can handle her…" She said coyly.

He glared, but sighed. Then, in what seemed like quicker than a flash, he lifted my off the ground and swung my legs over his other arm, holding my bridal style.

"Hey--what are you--I can walk you know!!" I sputtered, trying to squirm, but finding it only made the pain worse.

He glared at me, "How about you just say 'thank you' when I help you out?"

"But I don't need your help!!" My whole body was screaming against me.

"Yes you do." He said confidently, walking through the front door. It was then I realized a large crowd was gathered around the place where I had fallen.

I groaned.

I hated attention.

"I really can walk, you know." No I couldn't.

"How can you just miss the step?"

I glared, "It happens!"

He chuckled, "Only to you,"

"Hey!" I retorted, sitting up in his arms, "It happens to everybody!"

"Name one person…" He challenged, and I went silent.

Okay, so maybe it didn't happen to everyone…

"Loser…" I mumbled sourly.

"Your welcome," I rolled my eyes and ignored him. Crossing my arms, I decided it was probably best not to argue anymore. He was known to lose his temper, and I know he'd drop me and let me walk if I pissed him off enough.

And to be honest, my leg hurt like hell, and my back wasn't too good either. My head felt like it was going to explode and I knew if I tried to walk, I'd fall again.

"Where are we going?" I asked, praying he'd answer something reasonable. Not something like, 'Next town' or something, I knew I couldn't go anywhere in this condition. And there was no way he was going to carry me the rest of the way.

"Hospital," He replied shortly, and I thanked the Lord he had said that.

"Wait," I paused, "doesn't that cost a lot?"

He snorted, "You think I'm going to pay?"

"Well, then how--"

"Easy, say it's an emergency, and kill him before we leave."

I made a face.

"what?

"Kill him?" I hissed, "Why?"

He shrugged, smirking "It's fun,"

My mouth fell agape.

"you think it's fun?"

"Yeah," He said, "Hell of a lot funner than just beating them up."

"Funner ain't a word."

"neither is 'Ain't'"

I glared, "Don't correct me on my grammar."

"You corrected me on mine,"

"So? I'm young and annoying, you're old and you're supposed to be smart!"

"I'm only a year older than you."

"Physically, mentally your four hundred years older than me," I smiled.

He looked at me funny.

"What?"

"You know, most people would at least be a little freaked by the fact that I'm four hundred years old." He stated, and I shrugged.

"Whatever."

It was silent for a little while, before I corrected him.

"Four hundred and seventeen,"

Lol, incase you were wondering, she remembered that from when she first met him and she asked how old he was, he said four hundred and seventeen.

Eerrg, It's so tiring to write out the numbers, but it's more professional.

I know, sloooowww update!! I'm sorry!!

And I have a question real quick. First off, I have absolutely NO capability of drawing. Really, I couldn't draw a decent picture to save myself. So I was wondering if any of my readers were artists?

Cuz if you are, I was wondering if you could draw Amberlynn. I would totally draw her if people didn't mind stick figured, but you know…that doesn't really cut it.

Lol, review of message me if you can, then send me the link when your finished. I don't care if it's posted on deviant art, photo bucket, or whatever.

Please!!! If you can!! I'd appreciate it!!!!
