Even within the brimstones across dreamscapes, and morbid ideals of sensual intercourse, tormenting lifelike doll figures were always around to appease Sinful whims...there was no change. Deepened slumber concluded as reality, a palace of cascading red curtains, fluttering against white walls against a nonexistent wind, and pale bodies holding extraordinary poses against cathedral ceilings. Splashes of crimson and cleanly sliced body parts pinned up with nails and hung by clear wire, creating an entrance to a doorway of mystical options.

Edward couldn't remember entering this hellhole pit of despair. And that was what he felt as his boots maneuvered across marble floors that glowed with malicious intent. He couldn't leave his brother so soon. They had just found each other again. They'd worked so hard. A glance down to normal peach colored hands. Edward Elric was beginning to learn that hard work didn't count some times.

Cool air flew around him flinging blond strands around his shoulders. Dangerous presence and silent seething amidst silent halls, and glistening chandeliers. A cruel snicker erupting from a balcony, as a form landed heavily on Edward, forcing the alchemist backwards, landing hard on his back.

I am your silhouette.
I am the shadow that haunts your dreams.

Cruel eyes stared down, a wide smile of demise and utmost anger, "…Chibi-chan" The mocking voice hadn't left the slender form as more weight fell upon the blonde. "I killed him…I-."

A heavy punch to the jaw flinging the Envious sin off the alchemist. Black hair flung around as balance was regained by a series of back flips to a knee. Long blonde hair gliding along black replacing and settling around the slender shoulders of Winry. "Edward, you jerk! I'm not going to make you a good auto mail if you keep abusing me!"

A disdainful laugh, and a snicker as a flash of light brought back the skimpily clad man. Chin tilted upwards, eyes pointing downwards towards the crouching angry form. Edward raised himself to his feet. He was still shorter then Envy. And still a chibi in his eyes.

Within said eyes so black, so dark, so beady, the massacre he'd seen and created. Voided flames that existed only in the mind. A prison, an entrapment. Black glaring at gold, gold staring back into Fate.

A slow voice, "I killed him."

No. How?

"…And I'll kill you now."

And thus he flew,
With angels wings thee flies.

Attack after attack, fleeting body motions and waves following patterns that were not in fact, patterns but barred hurt from nowhere. Flesh against solid flesh, blocks, defenses. No time to react. No time to reprimand. Edward could only move back and back as bruises rose and crimson spewed. His blood. Sleek black against red.

"…HATE you!"

A punch against cheek, a roundhouse kick to the neck. The blonde alchemist seeing stars and flying beads of red color. Back grinding against marble floors, clashing against pews. Stained glass windows with crying angels staring down, light drawing path lines along delicate skin, as the black figure dived. Punch after punch. Kick after kick. Retribution after retribution.

"I HATE YOU."

Cries flinging into the air. Screams as flesh tore and muscles ripped. Senseless movements. Not enough time to simply clap two hands together to…

Live.

Hate blocked, white teeth covered by lips shifted into a wide grin. Eyes of insanity. Envy could take it and bring it. Black hair flying, turning into blonde, into black, into…silver blades. And…

Blood arched in the air.

My life?

…Death wasn't supposed to be so fast. Or so familiar. Edward remembered it had happened to him once before. And it was happening again.

A jerking motion, a spasm of the body.

The angels cried.
The glass was stained.

Rain falling through cracks in the ceiling.

Striking.

Softly.
