Okay, I broke a promise. I couldn't resist, but hey, I'm pretty sure that this chapter will be as short as the other ones, so…

IV.

Edward Elric

She sneered, knowing that she was running late. He didn't like it when things didn't go his way, but the fact of her being late wasn't her fault. She gazed at the screaming man hanging before her, begging for his life. Pity for him that begging was shorting it.

" Please, show mercy. I've got a wife and kids back home."

She merely gazed at him, before being lost in her own thoughts. Thoughts of a pervious life in Isabal, when she was with a real person. "Shut up." She hissed, taking a deep breath to calm herself.

The man persisted. " Please, look into your heart and let me live."

She looked at him, before drawing her nails back and then letting them pierce the man's heart. " I have no heart. I died a long time ago."

He choked on his blood and died. Envy watched with smug satisfaction. " It died along with him."

" Why are you so late Envy?" The deep rumble of his voice greeted her in the dark.

She felt uneasy talking to him without being able to see his face. " I ran into some interference." She replied as evenly as she could.

" And what did you do with this…interference?"

" I killed him." She said bluntly, taking her seat in the only space that was filled with light.

" You're really beautiful, Envy, a perfect assassin. So tell me Envy, all pleasantries aside, what do you think of killing for me?"

She was quiet for a moment. She hadn't thought much about him, knew only what he wanted her to know. " I don't know. Yeah."

A smile. " Perfect."

She shifted uncomfortably in her chair, knowing perfectly well he could see. " If you don't mind me asking," she whispered, "who is it I'm suppose to kill?"

" Why my dear Envy, you are going to kill none other than Edward Elric, or as you may know him…Fullmetal."
