Well, here's chapter 2. I was a little sad that there weren't more reviews. :'( I can't get better if I don't know what you like.

So please, please, PLEASE review. *begs*

Anywho, on with the story! Enjoy! ^_^


Sad? SAD?! Envy was floored by the response. The only part of that statement she got right was terrifying! He narrowed his eyes at her, trying to get his mind to stop reeling for a minute so he could think of what to do with her. Had she actually seen him change? Did she know what he was? The girl saw the conflict in his eyes and turned away from him. She tried standing and fell, but was determined and tried again. She still didn't make it to her feet, but before she could fall again, Envy had grabbed her arm. She glanced back at him. He still looked confused, but also very angry.

"I don't know where you thought you were going, but you're coming with me now, Rabbit." He was still glaring at her. Damn her bringing this kind of conflict on him. Her eyes widened in what he saw as fear and he grinned at her. "What kind of mess have you started?" He laughed at her and dragged her back to the lair.

Envy roughly threw the girl into an open cell once they'd made it back to his 'home'. She stumbled across the room, landing hard on the floor and just barely missing busting her head against the edge of the small bed. She gingerly picked herself up, favoring her hurt ankle and sat on the bed, looking up at Envy.

"This is your new home until I say you can leave, got it?" He smirked at her.

"And how long will that be?" she asked calmly, her strange eyes piercing his. He grew uncomfortable under her gaze and slammed the door shut so he didn't have to look at her any more.

How can she be so calm? And why does she make me nervous? He asked himself as he locked the door. He shook the thoughts away and went back to his room to try to relax. He laid down on his bed with his hands behind his head and closed his eyes. The girls face swam into his vision, her eyes standing out and seeming to gaze into his very soul. His eyes shot open and he glared at the ceiling. Gazing into his soul? As if! He didn't even have a soul. He rolled onto his side and tried to empty his mind.

'The most terrifyingly beautiful, and yet saddest man I've ever laid eyes on.' Her words echoed in his head. He screamed in frustration and grabbed the nearest thing, an antique table lamp, and threw it as hard as he could against the wall. It shattered next to the door frame, just missing Greed's head as he strolled in.

"Whoa! What's got your panties in a bunch?" He glance at Envy over his glasses.

"None of your damn business! And what the fuck do you think you're doing in MY room?!" Envy spat at Greed.

"I had heard you ran off crying and was planning on seeing if you had anything I might be interested in taking. I've had my eye on a few things," Greed stated simply, grinning and shrugging.

"GET OUT! I'm not in the mood to play with you, Greed! Now beat it before I kill you!" Envy got off his bed and moved threateningly towards Greed. Greed raised his hands in defense.

"Hey, man, chill out. I'm leaving already." With that he turned and walked out. Envy slammed the door behind him, even more frustrated, and nearly broke it from its hinges. Damn scavenging asshole. Who the hell does he think he's dealing with anyway?

"DAMN THAT FUCKING GIRL!" he shouted.


Greed winced as the door slammed behind him, hearing the crack as the door broke a little. He shook his head and snickered to himself over Envy's temper.

"DAMN THAT FUCKING GIRL!" Envy shouted.

Greed's ears perked up a bit. Girl huh? Since when was Envy interested in girls, let alone anyone at all? Oh the possibilities! He had to learn more.


She didn't know how long she'd been there, but it felt like half a day at least. The pain in her ankle had died down to a dull throb and she was able to walk around on it now. It was a good sign that she hadn't broken it. She hadn't seen the man who brought her to this place since he threw her in this prison, and boredom was getting the best of her. She had moved the bed into the center of the room and was currently laying sideways with her head and shoulders hanging over the edge, facing the door and trying to count the number of scratches on it. She sighed and closed her eyes, stopping at 596.

"Man this sucks. I gotta work on my stalking skills and learn to keep my mouth shut. But he was just so pretty!" She heard the door's lock click open and assumed it was the same guy she'd been watching earlier. She kept her eyes closed, listening to the door creak open.

"So am I allowed to go outside now?" she asked sarcastically.

"So this is the girl who got Envy all out of sorts?" an unfamiliar voice asked her.

She opened her eyes slowly and looked up at the new comer. He was taller than her newest obsession with short cropped hair that was spiked up. He looked down at her over his glasses. She noted that they had the same color eyes. Were they brothers? Must have different fathers or mothers or something.

"Envy?" She rolled the name around in her head for a minute. "Is that his name? I think I like it." She nodded, more to herself. "Yeah. I like it. Who are you?"

"Names Greed," he said. He stared down at her as she rolled onto her side and sat up on the bed to face him better. Her eyes were shocking to say the least. He could understand why Envy was so worked up a little better now. "You got a name?"

"Jessica, but he was calling my Rabbit. I think mostly 'cause I was running from him." She screwed her face up trying to think. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's why. Did he send you here to get me or something?"

Greed laughed. "Not exactly. He doesn't know that I know you're here. I think he was trying to keep you secret. Heh heh heh. He should know there are no secrets here. Why was he after you anyway?"

"I was stalking him in the park last night," she said bluntly. Greed's face went slack and his glasses slipped down his nose a bit. SHE was stalking HIM? Doesn't it usually go the other way around? She laughed at his expression.

"I guess that doesn't happen often. I wasn't originally out to stalk him, but I saw him in the park at first as a blonde guy, he looked really pissed about something, and then, when he thought no one was around, he changed into what I guessing is his real form, so I followed him." She thought fondly back to how he looked sitting on the park bench. He was so beautiful and sad then.

Greed stared at Jessica with his mouth slightly open. "Wow. I don't even know what to say to that." He laughed and ran a hand through his hair. "What say I let you out of here?"

"Why would you do that?" she asked curiously.

"This sounds like it'd make for an interesting break in the monotony around here." He grinned at her. She thought about it and nodded smiling back at him.

Jessica glanced around the hallway to make sure the coast was clear. If Greed wasn't lying to her then Envy's room just around the corner. He said to look for the broken door. She had asked if Envy would be there and he said that he was out taking care of some other business. He wouldn't tell her what that business was, but she didn't really care about that. She hurried down the hall and found the door Greed had told her about. He wasn't kidding when he said it was busted! It was just barely hanging onto its hinges and had a large crack diagonally across the center.

She pushed it open and entered the room. There wasn't really a whole lot to look at in there. Maybe he kept all of his important stuff in the closet or in another room. She walked over to the closet pulling it open and finding it mostly empty except for a small box on the shelf above her head. She reached up and grabbed the box. It wasn't anything special, no locks or anything. She lifted the lid and found a small necklace with a green gem on it. There were a few other little trinkets, but she wasn't interested in those. She took the necklace out of the box and put it on. She set the box carefully back in its place in the closet and walked over to admire herself in the mirror. The gem seemed to have a slight glow to it and she felt that it looked perfect on her. She glanced down at his dresser and found a set of what looked like very sharp tools, most likely for various forms of torture, and decided that he didn't need to have those lying around.

After stashing the set in in her coat pocket, she turned and looked at his bed. She threw herself on it and buried her face in his pillow breathing in his scent.

"Mmmm…. Too bad I can't take one of these with me," She sighed and stripped the cover off the pillow, grinning to herself. "Well, if I can't have the whole thing, I'll just take this."

She sat up and glanced around the rest of the room. He really didn't have much. She would have to fix that for him. She got up and rummaged in his bedside table for a pen and paper and after a moment managed to find something to write with and on. She wrote a short note and left it on his naked pillow for him to find. It blended in a little bit, but she was sure he'd find it eventually. She smiled again and decided it was time to find her way home.
