Ok I'm so sorry for such a long wait. Thank you guys for being so patient! I love you all!
Alleyway
A hooded man walked quickly into an alleyway, out of sight of the humans before transforming into his true purple eyed form. Envy sat on a crate as Lust, a well-built homunculi emerged from the shadows.
"Did you find out anything about the boy?" She purred, leaning against the brick wall.
"Well, I followed the plan, and, well... the pipsqueak had some scratches and a pretty dark bruise..." He started.
"And?" She asked coolly.
"Well... I didn't give them to him." The palm tree answered, not quite sure knowing what to say.
"What are you trying to say?" She said, tilting her head.
"I don't know who's giving them to him."
"As long as they don't kill our sacrifice, let them do as they will." She answered simply after pondering a moment.
"But what if-?"
"Look, Father would say the same thing, would he not?" Lust interrupted in a slightly annoyed tone.
"Whatever, I should probably get there soon, maybe I can play a little game with him." Envy told the female homunculus mischievously.
"Do as you wish." She said in a monotone voice. Envy nodded before transforming into an elderly man and leaving the cold alleyway.
Ed yawned, stomach full of cake and rubbed his belly. "Thanks Al." he said, but he could tell his younger brother had that damned kitten on his mind. With a sigh, he decided he would check around town in the morning.
" 'Night Al." He said before heading into their room.
"Goodnight, brother, " Al said sadly.
"You okay?" Ed asked, poking his head out.
"Yeah, I will be, I think I'm gonna go look for Fluffy." The younger brother said, approaching the door. Ed nodded before getting in bed.
~2 Hours Later~
Ed woke up with a start. He looked around. Damned Nightmares. He thought to himself. He got up and paced around the room. He checked the house. Al must not be home yet. He concluded. He opened the fridge and saw the -cursed milk- but also some leftover cake. A grin lit up the Alchemist's face. He sat at the table and began to attack the cake with a fork. He stopped eating whenever he saw none other than Fluffy laying on the couch. A soft mew came from the small, yet dangerous kitten. Ed stood up and approached the kitten.
"Al's been looking for you." Ed told the creature. The kitten was only centimeters from his grasp when he bolted towards the open window. "FLUFFY!" Ed yelled angrily as the cat leapt from the window. Ed could hear Damien chuckle darkly.
"Shut up bastard!" He yelled, grabbing his keys from off of the counter and running out the front door.
Finally, he got outside, he glanced around, just spotting the kitten's tail as it turned down the perpendicular road. Ed growled and ran full speed ahead, determined to catch this kitten to make it up to Al for all the stress he's put upon him. He followed the kitten past about four blocks before he saw a flash of orange turn into an alley.
"I've got you now!" Ed screamed as he turned into the alley. He looked around. "Heeeerrreeee kitty kitty kitty," He crooned, eye twitching, "Where are yoooooouuuu?" He searched the alley high and low before putting his hand on the solid wall. "Dead end." He muttered. He hit the wall with his fist. "DAMN IT!" He screeched in an agitated voice. He spun on his heel when he heard a ominous laugh behind him. He froze, expecting to see Damien, when instead there stood the infamous, green-haired homunculi himself, Envy.
Ed growled, "Envy."
"We meet again, Pipsqueak." The homunculi teased.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A- wait...YOU WERE THAT DAMNED CAT!" Ed snarled while Envy stood there with an amused look on his face as the young alchemist began to catch on. "But if you were...then that means...but wait...huh? Wait a second, "YOU WERE IN OUR APARTMENT?!" He accused, pointing a finger at the smirking homunculi who began to laugh.
"You are SO funny, you know that? Yes, I was in your apartment, and I saw those." He spat pointing towards the blonde boy's stomach. Ed flinched, as a look of fear crossed his face, but only for a second, long enough for Envy to see.
"I don't know what you are talking about," Ed lied, "but this time," he held up his shiny metal arm, "My automail works like a charm." He clapped his hands and put them to the floor and many spikes came up from the ground. Envy dodged these with ease. (Hey that rhymes! :D)
"I like this guy." Damien said, causing Ed to freeze. Envy took the opportunity to kick the pipsqueak in the stomach.
"What's wrong?" Envy sneered, "Scared?"
Ed looked up and saw none other than Damien appear behind Envy. Fear contorted his face.
What the? Thought Envy. He's never this scared. Then, he realized that the golden orbs weren't directed on him, but something or someone behind him. He glanced behind him, but saw no one. Confusion sunk in. He glanced back at Ed as a cut directed itself upon Ed's cheek, almost as if something invisible had slashed him. Envy shook his head and slowly walked towards the now shaking boy. Ed looked up, and straight through Envy, no longer seeing him.
Ed gaped in horror as the alley filled with fog, just as his room had not too long ago. Damien walked towards him evilly, a crooked grin appearing.
"Hello again." he said, Giving Ed a swift kick to the ribs. Ed broke into a sweat. "What's wrong, scared?" He grabbed Ed by his hair, and slammed his head against the wall,and blood began trickling from his scalp. Ed coughed up some blood.
Envy watched as blood rolled down the side of the boy's face. W-what's going on? He hasn't even moved!
"Why are you doing this?" Ed mumbled, his world spinning around him.
Who is he talking to? Envy thought to himself. Then it hit him. Though it seemed impossible, this must have been how Ed had gotten the scratches. Envy sighed. Lust said not to interfere, but, if this goes on he might even die. We can't afford to lose a sacrifice!
"Well," started Damien, "When I saw you in a fight, I simply just had to help. That and I was getting bored." He punched the boy again and Ed's head hit the wall yet again. "Goodnight." He purred as Ed's world slowly faded to black.
Al shone his flashlight around as it started to rain. Maybe I should just give up. He thought sadly. He was just about to turn around and go back home, when he saw a little orange puffball.
"Fluffy!" He cried out in joy, running towards the kitten, armor clanking. The kitten ran into the alley. Silly Fluffy! Al thought cheerfully, turning into the alley where he saw Fluffy...Laying on Ed's bloodied unconscious body.
"BROTHER!"
