Chapter 20
The Enemy's Advantage
"Dante, it's just you and me."
"Indeed it is, Hate. I'm sorry it has to be this way."
I laugh. "No you're not."
She shrugs. "Maybe I'm not. It's a shame to see any homunculus go, though. Your kind is so magnificent."
"You're speaking as if you're going to win."
"I will." she says.
I laugh. "No you won't. Let's stop talking and really fight."
She swings at me and I duck. I grab her arm and flip her over. She pulls my leg and I lose balance and fall. She gets up quickly and kicks me. I go flying. Pain explodes where her foot hit me, and I feel like I'm going to throw up. I won't though. I won't. I stand and she uses alchemy to make chains of rock form around my feet. I break them and use my own alchemy abilities to lift her up with pillars of stone and to separate her arms so she can't touch anything. She's above ground dangling , held up by her arms. I smile.
"Hate." Envy's voice is behind me. He sounds like he's actually choking back tears. "I'm sorry."
He holds up a box.
A box with Eliza's remains.
AN: Hey! Thanks for reading! In total there are 25 chapters, so only five more! Kinda makes me, as an author, sad, but I know there will be other stories. Plus, the story needs closure. A review would be amazing! Please tell me what you think! I need feedback!
