CRUNCH!

Blood dripped to the floor, slowly and steadily. 35 stood still, laughing.

"Cute kid." 35 chuckled. There was a sickening crash and 35's amour fell to the ground, hollow and lifeless.

Evin tossed the helmet to the side. Though the blood seal was a spike that had came from 35's spiked ball. Evin whipped the blood from his cheek.

'Who knew a helmet edge could be that sharp' he thought, looking at the large red smear the blood had left on the back of his hand. He tasted metal in his mouth, strange. He licked his cheek and was discussed to feel the flesh peel away and his tongue meet the cool air on the out side of his face.

'I didn't want a piercing damn it.' Evin growled, but the vibrations of his vocal chords caused the blood in his mouth the swirl around, making the taste wash over him. He kneeled on the ground, and spat out as much as he could. But the dark red didn't seem to want to stop flowing.

The taste over whelmed him, he knew he was swallowing too much of the blood. His stomach turned. Any thing that had been in his stomach from before was now mixing in the pile of blood he had left on the floor.

Evin leaned against the wall behind him and slid down, a small thud echoed in the room when his ass met the cold, hard floor. He felt his eyelids fluttered and the world grew still. All he was aware of was the sound of hurried foot steps in the back round.

They were coming closer to him, they sounded to be increasing in speed.

What was going on?

Evin wasn't one to miss a party, even if it was a 'bring your own death wish' type. He groaned and opened his eyes. The light seemed brighter than it had been not a minute before. As he leaned over to stand up he felt how wet his shirt was with his blood.

'How can I bleed so much?'

Evin gingerly put his hand to his cheek once he had stood completely up. The cut went from his lip all the way to the back of his neck. The deepest part was at his cheek, were the flesh was torn through and if he opened too wide would show a large hole.

Evin looked down as 35 spiked ball, red blood glistened on the chain. He reached down to pick it up, but quickly recoiled and stared as blood started to seep out from his finger tips.

'The chain must be sharpened, and it must have hit me, not the helmet.'

Evin sighed and whipped the blood off. Though it was no use, blood kept seeping out of the wounds. He walked towards where the foot steps had been coming from. The turned out of the room and walked down the straight, dark hallway.

Evin walked, and walked, leaving a trail of blood in his wake. The hallway seemed to go on forever. There was seemingly no end to the dark tunnels and all he could do was continue walking forward.

"STOP!"

The scream broke his thoughts, shocking him back to reality.

"Stop it Envy! Don't hurt them!"

It was Kath. There was such pain in her voice, such a pain Evin had never herd before.

"Leave Ed alone!"

Ed was with Kath? And who was this Envy? Evin walked faster, he would have broken into a run if his body wasn't suffering from the blood lost. Kath continued to scream, and all Evin could do was pray he would get there in time to help them, to help her.

-----------------------------------------------

"Don't do it Ed, you don't need to."

A battered Ed smiled at Kath, he then smiled at Al.

"Don't do it brother."

"It's ok Al."

Ed turned away from them, water collecting in his eyes. He turned towards the prisoners, all huddled in the center of the transmutation circle, waiting to die. Ed gave Envy and Lust one last glare. Lust smirked and tightened her grip on Al's neck.

"Hurry it up, will you? This is getting to be boring." Envy sighed.

Ed kneeled down in front of the circle.

"I'm sorry al." He muttered.

Kath growled. If Envy had balls she would sure as hell kick them in. Kath pulled at the ropes around her hands. Her hands slid through, though her skin was raw and red.

The earth started to shake, and the glass containers broke, spilling red water everywhere.

Some splashed onto Kath's skin; it burned and caused her to bleed. She had to get away from it. Kath stood and ran. She didn't look back, not even when the blue light of alchemy flooded the hall way.

Kath tripped as she ran. She fell to the ground, but didn't hurry to get up. She heard footsteps approach her.

"Kath?"

Kath lifted her head and looked at Evin's face; half of it was covered in blood. Kath scrambled to get up and almost tackled Evin to the floor.

"Your face, what happened?"

"I got in a fight, I'll be ok. Look at yours, all those streaks of the stuff."

Kath put her hand to her face, it came back red.

"Evin, it doesn't matter, who did this?"

"A suit of armor named number 35."

Kath breathed a sigh of relief. "Not a homunculus."

Evin's eyes grew wide "the homunculi are here?"

"Yes." Kath looked away. She slowly clapped her hands together and brought a hand to Evin's face.

All he felt was the feeling of ice touching his skin as his flesh sewed its self back together. Kath clapped her hands again and rubbed then over her own face. In the end the only reliance of the wounds was the blood on their faces and Evin's dizzy feeling from the blood loss.

"Well if that isn't sweet?"

The two turned and looked at Envy.

"What do you want?" Kath growled.

"Our plans didn't work, but even so I must leave some chaos." And evil grin danced on Envy's face. He transmuted his hand into a knife, and before either Kath of Evin could process what was happening Envy had thrust his blade/arm through Evin's stomach. Evin's Eyes grew wide and he crumpled to the ground when Envy retracted his blade.

"I bet he won't make it till morning." And with that Envy was gone, and Kath ran over to Evin, trying to stop his bleeding.

---------------------

I must really hate Evin. I try to get rid of him every chapter it seems like!

Maybe this time he'll just die once and for all !
