((I hate school. It sucks. Everyone has 7th period lunch but me:( I'm not a very happy "Poet" at the moment. I'm going to use italics for sentences as thoughts from now on.))
This day hasn't been a very good one from the start, but he had to go do this? These are the thoughts that ran through Charity's mind as she watched Greed in the process of blackmailing the newest angel to grace the Devils' Nest.
Last
night he had kidnapped a woman who was supposedly an angel like
herself. She had only found out about it an hour or so ago as well.
Kimbley was headed off to the basement for some unknown reason and as
curious as she was, Charity followed. Only to stumble upon a lovely
little conversation between Greed and his captive.
"Ah, so
you're finally awake. You're probably thinking 'what the hell
does he want with me,' right? So
yeah, here's the deal: I figured that, since you and one of my
subordinates didn't seem to get along
that you wouldn't hear me
out."
This
was ridiculous! He had her tied up for God's sake! She threw the door
open and charged in, completely enraged by the audacious acts he had
pursued behind her back.
"So
you think kidnapping her is gonna make it all better! What kind of
effed up logic is that. What the hell is wrong with
you, Greed! You can't just kidnap someone and expect them to do
what you want them to do!"
"Ah,
but you see, Charity… Actually, I can."
He held a small packet of what Charity rightly assumed was medicine.
What a moron. He honestly thinks he could go through with it? He can't even kill Archer let alone an innocent. He's more of a saint than I am!
He ordered Dorochet to take a knife away from the girl who had managed to cut herself free.
This
other angel, was very different from Charity... Purer in a sense,
definitely smarter, or at least more resourceful. She frowned at
Greed's trickery. He could have at least told her he was going to
kidnap her. Honestly! Who did he think he was. I suppose
that's just like him. Once a sinner always a sinner.
"Greed,
you have to let her go. Stop being such an idiot. Haven't you ever
heard of asking for help!" Charity glanced at the girl and stepped
towards her cage, "I'm sure under different circumstances she
wou-"
"Charity... Shut up."
It was like a slap in the face to hear those words come out of Greed's mouth. Especially aimed at her. She fell silent and her gaze turned towards the ground.
"I want you to make me invincible. I'm greedy, you see." He was so passionate when he talked about his avarice. His eyes would widen and he'd speak with such enthusiasm, "I'm a homunculus... The ultimate shield is what they call me, but there are ways for me to be sealed, injured, or killed. And I'm not too keen on those ideas."
I
can't believe it! He's lying... This is so confusing. Why would he
lie about something like this? He went through all this trouble and
now...
For as long as she had
known him, she knew when he lied he'd make his hand gestures really
exaggerated. What was he up to?
"What. The. Hell." Charity
broke her silence and faced Greed with an intense glare. She stood
straighter so she would look taller than usual. She had always been
taught that if you appeared to be bigger than the person you are
arguing with then you'd have a better chance of winning. Her attempt
was of course, in vain, because Greed was a lot taller than her. "You
have some nerve, you know that!" she rose her voice, "First, you
go behind my back. Then when I discover your little plans you tell me
to shut up! Finally..." she narrowed her eyes "... YOU LIE! WHAT
IS GOING ON IN YOUR HEAD! Are you on stupid pills or something!"
she shouted at him.
Greed
grabbed her wrists, "Stay out of this." His tone was calm, but
frightening because she knew he was angry by the way he gritted his
teeth when he spoke.
She had gone too far, getting pissed off and
yelling at him like that. All the while the other angel watched.
Probably planning her escape or a way to get that medicine.
