Balancing on her make shift seat, Martel flinched as Greed bit down on a chicken bone with his abnormal pointed shark teeth. Shards of bone spilled from his mouth in saliva coated specks to the ground while the bone marrow coated his lips.
She understood the fact that they were fugitives and good eating etiquette was very low on their priority list. But the way Greed ate was just … wrong. She wasn't expecting to him have dinner party manners. If anything, that was her last wish. But she just wished he could eat like he was at some point human and not a wild animal controlled by impulse.
After three consecutive nights of listening to the chomping of bones and the tearing of meat, she had enough. If the constant chopping, drool and spitting continued, one of two things might occur. A, she was going to kill him in his sleep or b; she was going to kill herself. She found the first option appealed to her more.
However, despite how she really wanted to, she knew she couldn't. She had been a witness to the fight between Greed and that Elric kid. He was a kid for god's sake and yet that he was always one step away from pounding Greed into the ground. If not for Greed, she was certain they wouldn't have escaped from the boy, who looked as if he were ready to kill someone.
By the fourth night, she had already had a plan in motion. Once dinner had been killed, cleaned and cut into proportions, she waited for the deafening crunching to begin. And it did. This time, however, Greed was attacking the chicken with vigor as he grinded the bones between the two rows of teeth.
While everyone was eating, she stealthy slid her dagger from its sheath without making a single noise, which at the point Greed was grinding another bone. Then she quietly snuck to and around Greed's chair before she placed her knife so close to his throat that if breathed to deeply he would nick himself.
It took nearly thirty seconds for them to notice my questionable position, which by that time she could have clipped both her finger and toe nails.
"So who made you jump ship?" Greed silently question, the nervous humming breaths of the other fugitives made the air sing like taunt cord.
"I didn't betray you guys; I just want you stop eating like an animal."
Daringly, he chuckled and she could feel the pressing wall of flesh against the blade around her knife.
"You could have asked." They both knew that wasn't true. He would have made a comment, she would have replied in anger and then it would lead them to a fight which he always won.
"Do it yourself." She commanded as she threw the knife down into the unsuspecting dead chicken. He just chuckled and the rest of the room decided to breath.
"Show me." Since she was born, few things have completely stunned her. Unfortunately what he had said was one of those things.
"Since I am so uncivilized, show me how to eat properly." Did she mention she wanted to kill him?
She stomped furiously back to his chair, ripped her dagger from where it was buried in the table and began to cut his chicken into slices. She made sure that all the chicken bones were removed and thrown into a furthest corner. When she finished the task, she lifted her head to see him grinning.
"Now if I could only get you in the sac."
"Rotten bastard." To demonstrate her point, I threw she knife at him. He caught it in between his fingers as he laughed that infuriating chuckle.
He tossed her knife back effortlessly. "Wouldn't know until you try."
At that point she knew she had made a mistake. She should have killed him when she had the chance.
Author's Notes: I am so sorry that this took so long. I gave to my beta what I originally wrote but both of us were extremely unhappy so I had to rewrite it. I am a little happier with it, I think Greed and Martel are a little less OOC. For those who like my long drabbles I am sorry, I wanted to experiment with a short drabble this time. As for when this drabble occurs, I would say it is after the time Edward escapes the prison where they are trying to create the philosopher's stone and before the time Martel invades Al's armor. Please tell your thoughts, I would love to know all of your guy's opinions.
