Maya's breath caught in her throat as Lust slid gracefully in front of her, another homunculi behind her, Gluttony, she assumed. He was looking hungrily at Maya and she gave an involuntary whimper. Maya also gave a silent scream for Edward, wishing he were close enough to hear a real one. "Now now child, do not be afraid," Lust purred, tucking a lock of her midnight black hair behind her ear. "I will not hurt you…yet. You are more use to me alive then dead. Your wrist's are bleeding. Clean yourself up," she ordered, throwing her a towel and a roll of gauze. Maya, never taking her eyes off the woman, who reminded her strongly of a character from a vampire novel, Maya dabbed the corner of the towel, which was slightly wet, on her bleeding wrist, wrapping the gauze around them before repeating the same actions on her ankles.
Lust was eyeing her with amusement and she watched her. "What do you want with me?" She asked, her voice set and hard despite the fact that she couldn't keep her heart from pounding and her hands steady. "And where's Envy anyway. I was looking for some target practice." Lust laughed coldly.
"You will find out soon, my dear," she purred and Maya felt like a little bird caught in a viper's trap. "Are you afraid?"
Walking
Waiting
alone without a care
hoping and hating
with things i can't bare
did you think it's cool to walk right up to to take my life
and fuck it up
well did you
well did you
I see hell in your eyes
taken in by surprise
touching you makes me feel alive
touching you makes me die inside
"No!" Maya spat. She stood, forgetting about the pain in her wrists, ankles, and her side from the new injuries, and the old scrapes on her palms and knees. She ignored her pounding heart, shaking hands, and the voice in the back of her head screaming for her to run away. "You would like that, wouldn't you? You would like it if you could just keep me afraid so you wouldn't have to bother killing me."

Maya was staring her straight in the eye and Lust found her own heart pounding. "I bet you think you're real terrifying, intimidating a five year old. I bet you thought you were a real big shot when you snuck into my house in the middle of the night and murdered two sleeping adults and threatened a small child. You thought I wasn't enough to bother killing. Well I've got a surprise for you, my dear. I was them member of the family you should have killed first." Lust arched her eyebrow at Maya, smiling sadistically.
I see hell in your eyes

"Is that so, darling?" she laughed. "Envy was wrong about you. How amusing."
"Let me leave!" Maya commanded, a harsh edge in her voice that wasn't her own.
"If you believe that you must, child, then leave. I will not stop you and neither will he," she said, gesturing at Gluttony. Maya nodded, walking past Lust, holding her head high, her chin parallel to the floor. She would not cower to that vampire. As she walked by, Lust clicked her tongue, amused. "We have found her, Envy," she said as the disgruntled homunculus materialized behind her. "We have found the Angel Eyed Child the prophecies spoke of."
"Should I kill her now?"
"No…not yet," she said with a smile. "The child my be useful to us later. For now, we will let her live."
I've slept so long without you
it's tearing me apart till
how to get this far playing games
with fist held cards
I've killed a million pity souls
But I couldn't kill you
I've slept so long without you
I see hell in your eyes
taken in by surprise
touching you makes me feel alive
touching you makes me die inside
I see hell in your eyes
taken in by surprise
touching you makes me feel alive
touching you makes me die inside
I see hell in your eyes
taken in by surprise
touching you makes me feel alive
touching you makes me die inside
Maya's legs were still shaking as she opened the door to the building the homunculi were holding her in, blinking as the sunlight stung her eyes. Her side was bleeding again, and she found herself in pain again. "Maya!" she heard Edward yell as he ran to her, lifting her up off the ground and hoisting her up on his hip, Winry placing her hands on her shoulders and resting her cheek against her back. "Maya, are you alright."
"I'm fine, you guys, I promise," she said, burrowing her face in Edward's shoulder, feeling her friends' comforting embrace.
"My god, Maya you're bleeding. What exactly happened to you down their?"
"Nothing you need to worry about yet, my friend," she replied, unsure of where the statement had come from. Edward and Winry both gave her strange looks but she didn't respond, choosing to rest her head against Edward's shoulder.
Neither of them ever knew what happened to the little child those hours she was with Lust. Even Maya couldn't tell you exactly what had happened. All she knew was the words that continued to reverberate in her consciousness. Be safe, Angel Eyes.
I still remember.
