Okay, so here is chapter 6. I hope you all have enjoyed my story so far. As a warning I am starting to run a little low on ideas, so any input of what you would like to see is welcome. ALSO! Let me know if you would like to have Jessica's story pieced out within this one or as a separate story. There is a poll. Thank you to all of my readers, and as always please REVIEW! I love reading what you guys think of it.


Jessica found herself in a room similar to the one Envy had locked her in the first time they had met. This time the bed and table were bolted to the floor, so she couldn't rearrange the room like she had last time, but for whatever reason there were two chairs for the table, and they were not bolted. She sat on the bed staring sadly at the door, nursing some cuts on her arms and massaging deep bruises out of her legs. She was wondering what she could have done to deserve a beating from Envy. She decided to rest for a bit and lay down.

A few hours later, while Jessica was napping, Greed stopped by with a couple of chimeras. He was careful to set the door lock and close it behind him as he chained the dog-like creatures to the wall near it. He glanced over at the bed and was startled to see a pair of mismatched eyes watching him.

"So you're alive after all," he said grinning. "He must like you to go easy like that." He laughed.

Jessica smiled back, "Guess so. What are they for?" She motioned to the chimeras.

"Your guards. Envy felt that you needed something to keep you from running off like last time," Greed explained.

"Makes sense." Jessica moved to the edge of the bed. One of the cuts on her arm had opened up and was bleeding again. She ignored it.

Greed eyed the girl warily. "I know I was the one who let you out the first time, but then I didn't think you'd be stupid enough to get yourself caught again. Silly little Rabbit."

Jessica cocked her head at his comment, then laughed at him. "Oh no. Don't worry. I'm not going to try to escape from -you-. And I see I'm still called 'Rabbit'. I take it you never told Envy my name?"

It was Greed's turn to laugh. "Sweetheart, I only heard your name once and that was over a month ago. I thought you had died or something. No sense remembering the name of a dead person." He grinned at her, "Especially one that wasn't mine."

Jessica frowned back. "You're not thinking of trying anything, are you?"

Greed mocked a hurt look. "Of course not. Not that you'd be able to do anything about it. Besides, you seem to be set on a different psychopath."

Jessica stuck her tongue out at Greed, causing him to laugh as he left her with only the chimeras for company.

~.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o~

Time had passed and Jessica had lost track of it. Envy would bring her meals pretty regularly, but even with using him for tracking, she still lost count and everything just started to blur together. On some rare occasions, Lust would be the one to feed her, and more than a few times she caught glimpses of a rather large, squat man with child-like features. He looked like he was constantly hungry and always denied of his favorite treat. She eventually learned his name, Gluttony, after pestering Lust. In this same fashion, she learned about the rest of the homunculi, though she had never seen the last three; Pride, Wrath, and Sloth. And, as always, it was at great peril of being hit or stabbed by the curvaceous woman.

She had grown very accustomed to being called Rabbit. So much so, that she almost forgot her name was actually Jessica. She had no idea how long she had been locked away, but severe boredom was settling in and the chimeras were sleeping soundly behind the door. Rabbit's gaze drifted across the room. She looked at the chairs and the little bits of dried out peas and corn from her last meal. She rolled onto her back on her bed, lifting the sheets high above her head. Then she got a brilliant idea! SHEET FORT! And Envy would be arriving in a short while with some more food. It would be perfect! She jumped off the bed and dragged the chairs over, setting them up a few feet from the bed with their backs to each other. The loud scraping had woken up the chimeras and they watched her curiously. Rabbit then took the sheets off the bed and draped them over the chairs, leaving a small triangular opening in the middle. She used the edges of the tray to make some makeshift straws big enough for the peas, and dismissed the corn as unusable. She took her bits back to her little fort, grabbing her pillow to set up as a barrier.

Rabbit tested out the accuracy of her 'darts' by blowing a few peas at the chimeras. They growled at her when hit. The straws were a little off, but close enough. She reloaded and aimed at the door, waiting for her next victim. She only had to wait for a few minutes when Envy opened the door, calling her for dinner. She shot a pea at him, hitting him just above his right eye. He stood in shock as a second pea hit him square in the nose.

"Dammit!" Rabbit muttered. She shot one more and hit her target; the open triangle on his headband. "YES!"

That was all she had managed before Envy was on her. He ripped the sheets away, grabbing her by the throat. He lifted her off the ground and slammed her down hard on her back on the table. Rabbit clutched at his fingers, trying futilely to pry them off her neck. She started kicking feebly as her breath ran out. Envy held her until she stopped struggling and her hands fell limp at her sides. Her feet kicked out once more, and then he let go. He checked her pulse; she still had one. It was weak, but it was there. Then he made sure she had started breathing again. She hadn't. He hit her a couple of times in the chest until she gasped for air and then left the room, leaving her where she was. He would probably kill her eventually, but not yet. He had hardly even started playing with her.

~o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o~

Rabbit woke up gasping, still feeling Envy's fingers wrapped around her throat. She jolted up, grabbing at her neck and slipped off the table. She sat stunned on the floor for a moment before she realized she was alone. She looked around the dark room, massaging her swollen neck. There were large welts where his fingers had dug into her flesh. She was positive it was a very nice purple color, though she had no mirror to show her.

Pushing herself up off the floor and using the table for support, Rabbit stumbled the short distance to her small bed. Her legs felt like lead from dangling off the edge of the table for so long. The chimeras started growling at each other as they fought over what remained of the food Envy had brought earlier, but Rabbit had no interest in eating. In fact, she was pretty sure she wouldn't be able to eat solid foods any time soon. With that sour thought in her mind, she lay down and drifted into a sore and fitful sleep.

~o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o~

Several weeks had passed since Envy had been 'shot' in the face with peas and Rabbit had learned her lesson well enough. He fed her regularly and took her out to 'play' at least once a day. He had found most of the things that had gone missing when she was last a guest in their home; mainly his knives and scalpels. He had been very surprised to see how great of a condition they were in. It was like they were brand new. He loved using them on her. He still couldn't find his necklace, though. He was pretty sure it was wherever her house was.

Envy gathered up his toys and headed for Rabbit's room. He had just fed her recently and she seemed like she had mostly recovered from their last session. He started to hear talking as he approached her door. What the hell is she doing? Has she finally lost her mind? And so soon? Envy scowled. That was no fun. He opened the door and was shocked by the sight.

Rabbit was sitting on the floor, just out of reach of the chimeras, with the steak Envy had brought her cut into thirds. One piece was hanging out of her mouth and she was chewing on it while holding the other two pieces out for the chimeras. She was attempting to teach them to listen to her commands apparently.

"Sit," she said sternly through the meat in her mouth. The chimeras whined and licked their jaws at her. She glared at them and repeated the command. "Sit!"

One of the chimeras dropped its haunches and scooted as close to her as it could get. Rabbit smiled and handed it one of the pieces. It snatched the meat from her hand and ran off devouring the small morsel quickly. The other chimera saw this, seemed to understand, and copied what it had witnessed. Rabbit smiled at the other chimera and gave it the last piece. It took the food a little more tentatively, like it was afraid she would take it back. She pet its head then watched as it fended off the first chimera while she chewed on her piece.

"Well, that's impressive," Envy jeered from his place at the door. He laughed when Rabbit jumped at the sound of his voice.

"Well, I've always been pretty good with animals..." she said, scooting away from him a little, "And I had noticed you never brought anything for them." She motioned towards the chimeras that had just quieted now that the food was gone.

"Because they're guard dogs. Guard dogs are more alert when their food is what they're guarding," Envy stated as if it should have been obvious.

Rabbit frowned at that and stood carefully. Most of the new artwork that had been added to her arms and legs hadn't quite healed all the way and were still very sore and easily irritated. Envy sauntered towards her, and she made a slow way around the room, keeping the table between them.

"You seem a little on edge, Pet," he cooed at her.

"I don't know what would give you that impression," she smiled back at him.

Envy grinned in return, "Must be my imagination then." He continued towards the chimeras and they cowered as he drew near.

"Must be." Rabbit glanced at the door and tried to judge if she'd be able to make it before he caught her. She knew he was fast, and that she was definitely not in the best of conditions to try to run, but she had to try. She wasn't entirely sure how she felt about him anymore since this most recent stay, but he was still what coveted most of her mind; there was just something about him. She knew he was an insane kind of evil from when she had been following him, so it wasn't as if any of what he was doing came as a shock to her; it was just very different seeing it firsthand. She saw the door was set to lock when it closed and knew it could only be opened from the outside. If she could just...

"What are you planning, little Rabbit?" Envy had been watching her for a while, seeing the wheels turning in her head. "Thinking you can get away?"

She laughed at that. "Yeah, because that is such an option right now. Have you seen me lately? I don't think I'd be able to outrun you. And besides, you've already managed to catch me twice now."

Envy smirked at her. He wouldn't show it, but her flattery was definitely working on him. "Well, I am the best huntsman out of our little 'family'." He walked around the table.

"You don't say?" Rabbit slowly edged her way closer to the door, she might have a chance now. Just a little closer...

Envy eyed her as she matched his movements on the other side of the table. This could be an amusing game of 'cat and mouse'. In that moment, she lunged for the door, pulling it behind her, and he realized his mistake. Even with all his speed he just missed her and the door slammed shut with her outside and him in. Envy screeched his fury at her.

"Sorry, Lovely, but I still have school to attend and work that needs to be done. And with how long my stay was this time, I may have to look for a new job and retake my classes." She blew him a kiss through the little window on the door. "Maybe another time?" She ran off with Envy's screams chasing after her.


So review, Review, REVIEW! I want to know what you think. Hopefully, I'm keeping Envy to everyone's standards. He can be very difficult at times. Next chapter is in progress, but as stated in the fore note... I am running low. Any ideas or thoughts are welcome. Credit will always go where it is due.

*I noticed a few mistakes that needed to be remedied. No major changes to the story.*
