Envious Blood
By: theunknownvoice
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
He is my brother that insignificant twerp with the metal arm and leg. The one wrapped up in a tin can is my brother as well. They are loved by my father, their father, our father. I am an outcast, unwanted and abandoned.
Strange that my father should raise me from the dead and then discard me as an abomination. Homunculus aren't born out of anything but petty human feelings such as love.
I had love once. Love for a man I called father.
Yet what did he do? He rejected me for being imperfect. He abandoned me and left me to her.
She is my mother. That evil hag Dante doesn't care for me. She would torture me if she thought it would bring him back. She would sacrifice me if she thought it would bring him back into her arms.
Father, Hoenheim of Light, the great alchemist and the constant parasite who feeds off of others bodies in order to find some sick form of immortality, could never love a creature like me.
I stare down at the twerp and the tin can. I could kill them both right now. I could murder them and make our father suffer. I could destroy them and maybe he would come to me.
No, it is a pipe dream. A dream that won't be fulfilled because that man has deemed me monster. If they knew the truth would they deem me monster as well? Would these brothers of mine reject me?
I dare not ask them. I dare not allow them to know the truth. It will destroy them and make them soft towards me. It will make them feel pity and maybe some type of brotherly love.
They are nothing to me. They never be anything more than parasites and his favorites. I hate them but a voice inside of me screams. My human side beats upon me yearning to break free as I fight them.
I charge the twerp and give the tin can a crunch. I fight and maim. I could destroy them in an instant. I could finish the job and leave them dead.
"Not bad kid," I say as the twerp performs alchemy keeping me on my toes.
"What do you want you, monster?" he demands.
I smirk as we keep fighting. The twerp defeated Greed but Greed was weak. I am not weak. I was not created by her but by him.
The tin can joins the fight battling bravely to protect the twerp.
"I won't let you hurt my brother," tin can says.
I feel like telling him that he is already hurting his brother. It would destroy them to know the truth.
The fight keeps going and I have them both at my mercy. One swift movement and I could kill them both. I could make father pay. I'm prepared to commit the deed but suddenly I pull back.
"You're not worth my time. Train better pip squeak and maybe then I'll kill you," I say as I turn away.
"Who you calling too short to know when it rains?" he demands.
I smirk heading into the shadows telling myself that I just wanted to torture them even though it is a lie.
I can't kill them. It's not because of orders or because I'm unable.
"Why did you stop, Envy?" Pride demands.
"It's not time for them to die," I answer glaring at him.
I couldn't kill them for one reason. I want them to end it for me.
Soon little brother we will meet again.
The End
