"Look, Martel I need to be straight with you about something." Yumi said as she leaned against a nearby wall with her hands crossed over her chest.
"What is it?" Martel asked with a slight tilt of her head.
She took a deep breath before she turned to look her dead in the eye. "You were brought here to serve as a hostage to get me to do what these assholes want." She said bluntly.
"W-what?" Martel questioned, her eyes wide.
"Mhm. It's true." She said quickly. "And to top it all off I've received orders from the very same guy that killed Dorcetto and Roa."
Failure concentrating
Body/motor responses hesitating
Soul/ego shaking
Blur between daydreams and awakening
Loss of control and perpetual
Sense that luck and light are fading
No more ruminating
Shake the strife off your life or keep on waiting
That's my situation
Can't escape 'cause to run is degradation
No expectations
Still I fight to bite temptation
Got to be brave as I unenclave
Find the prize is my fixation, I'm
Still holding onto my pride, Oh
Is this the shine of a wine-toasted victory
Or is it just a sad bitter sigh of defeat?
I'll take it either way.
If fate is just a play
I'm tying the strings up starting today
Sound the chime, golden time
Steal perfection in its prime
Take your place, poker face
Ready for the race I will choose to refuse the illusion
And shatter the nightmare
Faking tame, pressure game
Win or lose it's all the same
Pay the fine, border line
Hapless to divine
If there's any how many and when
Will these games find an ender?
What's the last thing I want to surrender?
"WHAT!?" Martel screamed as she jumped to her feet.
"Calm the fuck down!" Yumi screamed back, equally as pissed. "I don't like it anymore than you do." She continued with a sigh.
"What exactly are they asking you to do?"
"Find Scar and Marcoh..." She trailed off.
"And..." Martel prompted.
"Forget it." She spun around and slowly walked off despite Martel's complaints.
"Hey, Yumi, scoot over will ya, to make room for me!" Martel exclaimed as she shoved her over before she plopped down in the seat next to her.
"Martel? WHAT THE FUCK!?" Yumi snapped.
"I'm sorry, Martel, but you can't exactly come with us. We aren't going for no picnic." Kimblee said.
"Does this look like something somebody would bring to a picnic?" She questioned as she waved her dagger around in his face. "I wouldn't expect some serious military lapdog like yourself to understand, but Yumi is the only one besides me left of our little group. There were my friends, Bido, Roa, and Dorcetto, as well as Greed and several other homunculi. They all died leaving only the two of us. I am not about to let Yumi die on me too!" She ranted causing Kimblee to sigh.
"You know what you are?" Yumi questioned.
"Hm?" Martel shot back.
"Untrusting! Honestly, I'm hurt that you think I'd die so easily!" She snapped.
"Come on! Greed was stronger than either one of us and he died!" She retorted.
"Yeah, true, but that's not the point!"
"Alright. You can come with us. I'll allow it." As soon as the door closed they both burst out into giggles like a couple of teenagers.
"'I'll allow it.' Hee hee hee. How generous of him!" Martel mocked with a loud snicker.
"I know! He's like, 'Ugh. That's a good reason. Shit. I can't argue with that. Quick, Solf, come up with something that'll sound like I'm still in charge.' Ha ha HA." Their giggled soon subsided and Yumi sighed. "Um, Martel?"
"Yeah, what is it?" Martel questioned.
"Can I tell you something...about Greed?" She questioned, suddenly finding the pattern on her tattoo to be the most interesting thing in the world.
"...Sure." She said after a few moments of silence between the two.
"Well, heres the thing, when I got Misery inside me, a friend of mine got a homunculus as well..." Martel narrowed her eyes.
"Say it." She growled out.
"Martel..."
"SAY IT!" She shrieked causing the car to swerve from side to side.
"...It was Greed. He didn't have any memories of us for most of the time when I couldn't grasp control of my body. And now he does. He's in central, with his memories all back and shi-" She was cut off by Martle wrapping her arms around her.
"Are you serious? Greed survived?" She nodded.
"Mhm. He's in central. I'm gonna go back there after I'm done with the shit that needs doing up here." She explained.
"What do you need to do up here?"
"Kill Kimblee."
No matter how many times we're reborn
I want to meet you here again
I'll hold your hand so we're not separated
We talked until the sun came up in the morning
We held hands until the sun went down in the evening
Let's spend tomorrow and the next day like this too
Shadows and light
Now I wonder
What do you carry in your heart
And what world did you live in?
You can't find warmth alone
Looking at the town with lonely eyes
When I met you I learned for the first time
Just how much strength love gives you
No matter how many times we're reborn
I want to meet you here again
I'll hold your hand so we're not separated
I can't sleep alone, because I can't dream
On starless nights, I'll keep shining on you
And take you to a place where no anxiety can reach you
I can go anywhere if I'm with you
Even roads that I couldn't walk alone
With you I can walk them, humming as I go
As long as you're here, I'm happy.
I just sat here for like an hour crying over the shittyness of this chapter. ;( Please, guys, I will try to make the next chapter longer once I finally get it up. :(
