Chapter One: Blood Lust (Part two)

Disclaimer: Again, not mine. sigh why must God torture me so? Maybe it's because I stole Ed... Don't ask... it's a running joke between my friend and me...

A/N: Please note... I HATE LUST… Hate Hate Hate…Despise, loathe, abhor, dislike with an extreme passion, etc. She's a female dog who's full of herself. I hope no one takes offense to this…I just really hate Lust. Envy's better.

This part of chapter one is extremely vivid in its goriness so don't read if you don't want to.

Recap of part one:

Alina turned to see a tall form holding a smaller being by the neck. The assailant's black hair fell to her shoulders and hung about her back, a bemused smile across her face. She wore a black dress that had no straps and came down far enough to reveal a tattoo of a snake wrapped around a six-pointed star, eating its tail. The nails on her free hand were impossibly long, and they looked as sharp as knives. Black gloves covered the rest of her hands, the tips shredded where the person's nails protruded from her fingertips.

'An ouroburos...' Alina thought. 'Impossible...'

"Who- who are you? Did you do this?" Alina managed to get out. She crouched over her parents' bodies, looking up at the intruder.

"My name is Lust, love. Though I doubt you'll have time to remember it."

"What? Why not?"

"Do you always ask so many questions? You see, dear Alina, I did this to your parents. I was about to torture your sister when you walked in."

Was she hearing things right? This lady…this…inhumane and sadistic creature that called herself Lust… she had killed them?

"My…sister?"

She sighed, a bored look happening upon her face. "Yes, your sister. Elaine Lucina. Blue and silver hair. Eyes like yours….only reversed. The left eye is red, the right, blue. Inherited your mother's 'curse' of life. Remember now?"

Elaine was hurt? No…impossible…this…this lady would pay.

"Bitch." Alina growled, snapping out of her state of helplessness.

Lust laughed again. "Now, now, Alina. Watch your mouth. It might get you into trouble."

"I'll watch my mouth when I fucking well please so don't tell me what to do, or I'll kick your sorry ass."

"Oh-ho. Quite the brave little wench aren't you? Well then, if you want to fight so bad… it would be my pleasure." Since she was still choking the figure from before, she tossed the person to the side.

Alina saw a flash of silver and gasped. "Elaine!" She sprinted to where her sister landed on the ground, but was suddenly stopped by the sharp pressure of a knife against her throat.

"I advise that your attention comes back to me, dear, or I'll have Envy kill your sister." Lust said, smugly.

"En…vy?" Alina asked her eyes on Lust's knife-like nails pressed against her neck.

"Yes." Another voice drawled. "Is my name too hard for you?"

Alina was about to look over to where the new voice came from but Lust pressed harder into the flesh of her neck.

"Eyes on me, love. Eyes on me. Very good. Now…fight me."

Alina blinked a few times. "Fight…? Fight you?"

Lust rolled her purple eyes. "Yes, Alina. Fight me. You do remember your challenge to me, do you not? Or are you to scared?"

"Challenge? I never challenged y…Fine. I'll fight you." She said, glaring up at Lust, who smiled.

"Good choice. Envy, watch over her sister. Alina, go fetch your weapon of choice."

"Fine. Let me up." Lust did as she was so 'politely' asked and Alina disappeared into another room.

Now, a sensible person would've run instead of going back to face Lust, but Alina was consumed by rage and fury. Common sense was not an option right now.

She strode into her father's room, letting her eyes flick about, looking for the weapon she would use. Hopefully, she'd find the specific one she wanted.

"Hurry up, Ms. BlackWing."

Alina glanced towards the doorway and kept searching. Why couldn't she find it? Father's sword was almost always right beside the door. So then why wasn't it here?

"Time's up, Alina. Come face me."

Growling in rage, Alina walked back into the main room, trying to ignore the fresh image of blood.

"What, no weapon? Are you that stupid?" Lust looked smug.

Alina glared at her. "My father's sword is nowhere to be found at the moment. Since you said time's up, I came to the decision that I'd fight you with my bare hands."

Someone laughed, and it wasn't Lust. Alina was guessing it was the one called Envy. Her eyes narrowed. "So yeah… I guess I am that stupid."

Lust sighed mock sadly. "And I was so very looking forward to a good fight from you. Oh well." She laughed and made her nails grow out.

"What the hell? What are you?" Alina couldn't help it. She had to ask.

Lust smirked for the umpteenth time. She was already on Alina's bad side. Now she was just getting annoying.

"I'll tell you if you best me in our fight."

"Get on with it, Lust. I like dragging things out, but even this is getting old. We need to hurry up here and finish this. Master Hohenheim will be missing us if you don't end this soon." Another new voice.

'How many are there?' Alina wondered.

"Fine, Sloth. But don't expect me to kill her with one blow. She probably fights like her father." She grinned and bounded towards Alina, who threw her arms up to defend herself.

Lust slashed at Alina, drawing deep and bloody crevices in the girl's arm.

Alina winced as Lust attacked her a few more times. Getting the feel of Lust's style of fighting, Alina began to dodge the creature's attacks more and more.

As Lust narrowly missed raking her 'claws' across Alina's face, she frowned. "You're more like your father than one would guess, Alina. Annoying, persistent, stupi-"

"Shut up!" Alina yelled as she took advantage of a gap between Lust's onslaught and shot a clenched fist into Lust's gut.

Lust doubled over, then glared up at Alina and was about to say something when Alina punched her again. She slammed her elbow down onto Lust's neck, knocking her to the floor.

Lust snarled and knocked Alina's feet out from under her and was immediately on her, pinning her to the floor, the girl lying pinned on her stomach.

"You made a mistake, girl." Lust said, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

"Oh yeah?" Alina grunted, struggling for her breath. "And…what might that have been?"

"A few things, actually." Lust said as she placed a hand in the small of Alina's back.

"Lust, hurry it up."

"I know, Sloth. Give me a few more minutes."

Alina bucked under Lust's weight, trying to get her off.

Lust grabbed a handful of Alina's hair, close to her head and slammed Alina's head against the floor.

"Stop resisting, love. It only makes it worse."

Alina grunted something in response but Lust ignored her and pressed her nails into her back, around Alina's spine, puncturing the skin and sliding through the girl's flesh.

"First and foremost, you are the offspring of Jacin BlackWing. In fact, you're almost an exact copy of him, give or take a few traits."

"What's my dad got to do with-" She was cut off as Lust slammed her head on the floor again.

"Quiet, kid. I'm telling the story here. As I was saying, second…..you're not going to live through this anyways." She closed her hand around Alina's spinal cord.

Alina screamed in pain and tried to get out from under Lust again, but this only resulted in causing Alina more pain.

"Do you ever stop fighting the inevitable, Alina?" Lust said as she tightened her hold on the boney vertebrae of the girl's backbone.

Alina bit back another scream, tears falling from her eyes to the carpeted floor. Growling, she responded, "The inevitable has yet to show itself to me, infernal bitch." Alina whimpered as Lust began to pull.

"Lust, finish this, now."

"Fine, she was getting boring anyways. It was a pleasure meeting you, Alina BlackWing. But I'm afraid it's time for me to go. Don't worry though. I'll leave you something to remember me by." Lust laughed and jerked her hand. Hard.

Alina released an ear-piercing shriek that didn't sound even remotely human. Pain seared through her body and her brain would not comprehend anything but.

Lust laughed yet again and dropped something to the floor in front of Alina's face. "There's your present. I hope you like it. G' bye, love."

Seconds later, Alina heard the door slam as they all left her here to die.

Red and black tinged her vision, however blurry it was. Her head was swimming in the pain…no…drowning in it. But all of that was pushed aside as her gaze fell on the 'present' from Lust.

The 'present' was white and covered in blood.

The pain…

"Oh god…" Alina whispered as she touched the thing, tentatively. It rolled as she touched it and her eyes widened. She stifled a scream and turned her head away, as she lay on the now mostly red carpet, whimpering.

Something off to her left moved and groaned. Alina stopped moaning and listened. Had they lied and not left? Staying to watch her suffer? Probably. They were sadistic enough.

"A…Alina?" It was barely audible, even in the pained silence.

"…huh? Elaine? Elaine! Are you alright?" Alina grimaced as she pushed her upper body off the floor. She was almost positive it wouldn't work…that she wouldn't be able to move her lower body. Still, she had to try.

Alina tried to get her feet under her, so she could stand, but the only thing that happened was that more of that god awful pain lanced through her upper body. Alina carefully lowered her chest back to the floor and whimpered softly as she waited for the pain to abate at least a little bit.

"Elaine…Elaine hold on….I'll….I'll be right there…somehow…I'll be there for you…" Her voice trailed off and Alina lapsed into unconsciousness. She stayed like this for all of two minutes and then the pain came back. "Damn it. Why can't anything ever be easy and not painful?" She sighed and suddenly a brilliant idea popped into her head. She could crawl over to Elaine. Perfect. Now…if she could only move without her back hurting like all hell. Life would be just peachy then….not.

Grunting, Alina shifted her body and propped herself up on her forearms. She felt the soft tickle of blood running down her face, out of the cuts on her head that had resulted from Lust's claws as she had pounded Alina's skull into the floor.

She shuddered as the blood mingled with sweat. Speaking of her head, Alina was starting to get a massive headache.

She fought to swallow her revulsion as she nerved herself. The air reeked of fear, blood, and rotting flesh.

Her face became screwed up in determination and she pulled her body forward using her arms. Repressing multiple different screams and whimpers of pain, Alina inched forward towards Elaine.

Finally, after almost twenty minutes of crawling, resting for a while, crawling some more, etc., Alina collapsed next to Elaine's body, gasping for breath as she tried to stop crying.

"Elaine…Elaine…come on kid…Wake up. Don't leave me here alone..." This couldn't be happening. She'd already lost her parents, and that had brought her dangerously close to insanity. If she lost her sister, that ungodly thin line between insanity and normality would undoubtedly be crossed and Alina would 'snap'.

"Kid? I'm older than--" Elaine coughed and blood sprayed from her mouth and dribbled down her cheek. "…older than you…remember?"

"Oh god…Elaine…I'm so sorry. Please, forgive me for everything I said and did. I didn't know this would happen…I'm-" Elaine pressed a finger to Alina's lips, quieting her.

"Shhh…I forgive you, Alina." She managed to pull Alina close and hugged her. "I love you, Alina."

"I love you too, Elaine…Elaine? Elaine? What's wrong?" Alina looked up into her sister's eyes and watched in horror as they began to dull. "No…no…nononono…God no…Please…" The last word was uttered with such urgency, such pain and neediness that a silent form that had been lingering in the shadows stepped out of hiding. A cruel smirk crossed his lips; malevolence glinted in his purple slitted eyes.

He watched as Alina clung to her dying sister. One of Alina's hands brushed Elaine's bare arm. His eyes narrowed and his vicious smile widened as he watched the skin of the dying one's arm turn black.

"It's okay, Alina…" Elaine coughed up more blood. "It's okay…Just promise me one thing."

"What? Anything, just don't leave me."

"Don't forget me. Promise…that you won't forget me…"

"No… No…I won't forget you because you're not going to die…Elaine, do you hear me? You will not die. No dying allowed, ok? Elaine?" Alina didn't even think about what she did next, she just did it. She ripped the back of Elaine's bloody shirt.

Brushing a hand back through his long hair, the silent figure watched as Alina's right hand moved quickly over the now bare skin of Elaine's back, drawing a quick transmutation circle in Alina's own blood. The circle was never finished though as Alina stopped moving. Pain lanced through her body and she blacked out.

Long minutes later, Alina woke again and blinked. "Am I dead?" Is what she tried to say but all that came out was a scratchy whisper. She tried to wipe her hair out of her face but found that she couldn't move.

'What's wrong with me? What happened? Why the hell can't I-' A scream erupted from her throat as what seemed like a white hot fire blazed to life inside of her.

He saw her eyes flit about looking for some sort of answer as to why she couldn't move. He moved towards her, smirking.

"What's wrong, girly? Have your wings been clipped?" He laughed and looked down at her.

Alina tried to look up at him but turning her head to do so was too painful. All she could see was a pair of feet, partially covered by black material, stop near her side.

"Oh, can you not see me? Here…let me help you." He wedged a foot under her side and kicked her over. Grinning, he listened to her yelp of surprise and whimpers of pain. "Music to my ears…" He muttered as he walked over to her. "Can you see me now, stubborn bitch?"

Alina sobbed again as the person stood over her. If only she could move. She felt so vulnerable, lying here on her back. The guy above her didn't scare her as much as not being able to move did.

He smirked as he watched her eyes fill with panic, pain, rage, and other things more primitive. He flicked a slender tongue over thin lips. "Lust really did a number on you didn't she? What's wrong, ClippedWings? Can't move?" He cackled and knelt into a crouch beside her.

"Oh, that's right. You don't know who I am." His grin widened. "I'm Envy." He snickered and let his eyes roam over her body, tracing each rivulet of crimson blood.

He placed a hand on the bloody carpet, splaying his long fingers. The other hand came up to grasp his chin, as he sat there, mocking one in deep thought.

"Hmmm… Should I fuck her, fuck her over, or save her ass and fuck her later?" He sighed deeply.

"Decisions, decisions." He said as he traced a finger along the edge of her jaw. His sadistic smile grew as her eyes widened with terror.

"Well, as nice as it might be to screw you while you're covered in blood for me, I don't want you die in the middle of the fun. Necrophiliacy doesn't really appeal to me. So, that's out. I really don't feel like obeying Lust's orders. I'd rather have her get in trouble. So, I guess I'm just gonna have to save your bloody ass and fuck you later. How's that sound?" He finished his 'monologue' and looked down at her. "Well damn, she passed out." He shrugged and scooped her up in his arms. "Guess I scared her." He laughed and walked out the front door and out into the rain.

"Now… where to take her…" He pondered over this for a moment or so, and then grinned. "We're close to Risembool. I just remembered that." His thoughts turned momentarily to his brother, Edward Elric, and he snickered. "Well, I've got to hurry then if she's going to live. For once, I'll make sure Lust doesn't get things done her way."

With that, Envy walked down the muddy lane. As he neared the more crowded section of the village, he jumped to the roof of the nearest house and leaped from rooftop to rooftop. In this way, he reached the edge of the town in less than twenty minutes. If he had taken the 'long way' wand walked through the streets, it would have taken him over an hour to get here.

He glanced up at the sky as lightning lit up the world, it seemed. Growls of thunder followed as the jags of blazing light flashed their selves into nothingness.

Envy looked towards Risembool then down at Alina's pale form. "Stay alive, ClippedWings. You could yet prove useful to me." He looked up again and bounded towards Alina's only hope of living.

End of Chapter One

A/N: Told you…it got really freaky.Envy came in, Lust left. I hate Lust. She needs to die. Anyways, I hope the original characters are 'in character' enough. Please review and tell me if I did.
