Trapped in Cascade

So there I was, running for my life. I needed to get away from Edward Elric...the boy who wanted answers. I looked around, for a place to hide momentarily. A dark alley to my left, I took it, running inside until I felt hidden in the shadows among the crevasses of the buildings.

"He, won't, find me, here..." I panted, catching my breath. Next thing I knew, water hit my hand, scaring me as I thought it was something different. 'It's, only water...' It didn't even occur to me about Sloth, until it was too late. Ore water dripped on me, and that's when it hit me. My mind focused on running, but after I was caught, it was all over. I fainted, a cold rush going through my body and mind; a numbing feeling.

After that, time seemed to be stopped. I thought I was in a dream, then a bright light hit my skin...I could breathe, and feel again. I wasn't even wet but it was clear I had been released from a watery substance. "Get up." a deadly voice commanded. I did as told, looking around for who was speaking. A boy with long green hair, faced me. I gasped as I knew exactly who it was. "Envy..."

He grinning and laughed as I knew his name. "You wouldn't happen to know an Amy would you?" he asked. I hesitated to answer, then a woman's voice came from behind me. "Leave her alone Envy, she's under my control."

I turned to see a young woman in a secretary outfit. My kidnapper, Sloth. I still stood silent, out of fear of where I was, how I got here, and where everybody else was.

Sloth laughed quietly and then looked right into my eyes, me gasping and then my vision going black...I regained it was seemed like minutes later, but was really hours. I was walking...to where? I tried to control my body, it wasn't any good. 'What's happening to me?' I thought hard, fighting to get a hold of my nerves to control my limbs. I walked into the hotel I was staying in, my things slung over by back. 'Why am I here?' Then my body walked to the front, and started speaking to the man at the front desk. "I would like to check out, room 35." I said.

It was confirmed as I turned to leave, the inner me spotting Brandon right away. 'Brandon!' I screamed, but the body didn't do a thing, I stayed silent, walking right past my friend. 'He looked like he was trying to disguise himself...Why?'

I don't think I ever found out...maybe he was hiding from me. He should have tried harder to do that...I nearly killed him because of this damned body control power that bastard sin had over me. I could have done worst if it hadn't been for Lust to get the water out of my lungs. But, she threatened to kill me if I abused the freedom.

After then, I still don't think I can ever truly be free from them again. Non of us will, especially when one of us is gone...
