"I got to run!" screamed the small homunculus known as Wrath. He cried as his foot steps in the snow left blood. His feet was becoming numb. "What did that lady do to me?" he yelled and ducked behind a dumpster. He hid. He covered his mouth to silence himself. It was so cold. He shivered.
Soon he heard footsteps. Crying silently, Wrath shivered. Please don't be her! Don't be the lady with the mask.
He listened as the lid to the dumpster open and slam down. That caused Wrath to yell in surprise. The foots steps walked around and a person stood in front of a very scared Wrath. It was Izumi.
"Wrath? What are you doing out here? What is the matter?" she asked kneeling down. Wrath blinked and shivered. He didn't know if he should tell her.
Izumi blinked " Come in. You must be freezing." she slowly reached out for him. Wrath blinked and took her hand. The black hair woman noticed Wrath's eyes. They were blue. Didn't homunculi have cat like eyes?
Then she noticed that he was limping. "Here, let me carry you" She said picking up Wrath before he could reply. He blinked and held onto her shirt as they both enter the house.
Izumi sat the boy down on the couch and went to get some bandages. Wrath blinked and stayed still. He was still very cold. Soon Izumi returned with a med kit and some blankets. "I'm going to clean the cut on your foot"
Wrath nodded and grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around himself. Izumi began to wash the wound. The black hair child whimpered a bit. "It hurts!"
"It will, but if I don't clean it, the wound will get infected. You can get sick." Izumi said. Wrath pouted and let her continue to clean the wound. Izumi noticed that the skin was cut off. "Your tattoo...its gone..."
Wrath looked away remember what happened to him. "There was this woman in a mask. She chased me through out this town. I don't remember much. Just pain. "
"A woman in a mask?" Izumi asked blinking. She bandaged up his foot. "Stay here...I'm going to make a call." she got up and walked over to the phone. Wrath blinked and sat there.
Edward snuggled against the couch. Soon the phone rang. Groaning Edward rolled off the couch noticing that Envy wasn't there. He began to panic. Al spoke up "Envy is in the shower."
"Oh..." Edward felt a bit stupid for worrying. He stood up and walked over to the phone. Picking up and said." Hello?"
To his surprise it was his former teacher. "Teacher?" Edward asked. Al got up and walked over.
Edward listened to what she was saying. "Yes. We will be there! Later this after noon. Yes...I'm bringing someone with me...alright...yes..goodbye." He hung up.
"Was that teacher? " Al asked.
The blond nodded " Yeah. She found Wrath hiding...his tattoo was gone. She asked us to come over. So lets get packed."
Envy walked out of the shower dressed in a sweater and jeans. He dried his hair. "What is going on?" he asked blinking.
"We are going to see my old teacher" Edward explained.
Envy blinked and looked down "How long will you be gone?"
"You're coming too. I made the mistake of leaving you alone. You almost died. I won't let that happen again. Besides this isn't a mission. Its just a trip. " Edward explained.
Envy blinked and smiled a bit "Alright"
Izumi was cooking in the kitchen. Wrath sat at the table waiting for food. He was starving. Which he found odd. He wasn't hungry for red stones but for some good food. He was warmed up now and bouncing a bit.
Then there was a knock at the door. Izumi walked over and answered. "Oh Edward you here. Hello Al..." She smiled then noticed Envy standing behind them. "And...I don't know you"
Envy blinked and looked at Edward. "We will explain when we get in. Its freezing out here!" Edward complained.
Wrath turned in his seat and saw Envy. "ENVY!" he screamed and charged at him at full speed with his arms wide open
The green hair ex-homunculus blinked "Oh..no...Wrath! No don't tackle me!" he dodged and watch the smaller child tripped and roll out into a snow pile.
"COLD!" Wrath screamed and ran back inside. He clung to Envy's waist. "You were missing! We all thought you were dead! I went to look for you!"
Envy sighed and tried to pry the child off of him. " Its because I didn't want to be found. I'm happy now. "
Izumi was talking to Edward in the kitchen.
"I see...so Wrath is human now.." said teacher.
Edward nodded "Envy was the first to be attacked and to become human. Then Greed and now Wrath. I'm amazed he was able to escape from that woman. She attacked both Envy and Greed. Envy almost died."
Izumi nodded. "I want him to stay here..I will protect him"
The blond blinked and began to chop some veggies. He glanced out of the living room watching Envy trying to get away from Wrath, who was attempting to put snow down the green hair teen's shirt. Wrath climbed on top of Al and jumped off landing on the expecting Envy.
"Damn it Wrath! I'm hurt you know! You can't do that to me anymore! " Envy yelled.
"Why not? We always roughed house" the black hair boy blinked.
"Yeah, when we were immortal. We are human now and it hurts a lot more when you pounce on me like a wild animal." Envy said pushing Wrath off.
Wrath sat on the floor blinking. "You mean that crazy lady in the mask turned me human?"
"Yes" Envy said getting up and sitting on the couch. Wrath ran over blinking.
"So that is why you have scars. On your hand and a couple on your face."
"Yeah"
Al spoke up "So, Wrath is like your little brother Envy?"
"Something like that. More like a little annoyance" he flicked Wrath's head with his fingers.
"Hey! I'm not an annoyance!" Wrath rubbed his for head.
Edward shook his head and went back to helping Izumi cook.
"So" she spoke up smiling. " I see you found a lover"
Edward almost choked on his spit he drop the knife. "W-What do you mean?"
"I pay attention to great detail. I noticed the way you look Envy..."
Edward felt nervous and looked down blushing a lot.
"I knew it." Izumi laughed " Remember Edward, I'm married. So I know that look"
" Uhh..." Edward was all he could say. He turned and watch the three out in the living room.
"Damn it Wrath! Stop trying to put snow down my shirt! I'm not here to be t he sorce of your entertainment! " Envy yelled.
Al was laughing as Wrath chased Envy around.
"Alright! Alright! Enough boys! Time to eat" Izumi called out. Edward was still blushing as he set the table. Envy walked over and sat at the table. He watched the blond. He smiled as he sat down beside the green hair ex-homunculus.
"Where is Sig?" Alphonse asked.
" He is visiting his mother right now. He be back next week" Izumi said bringing the food out. Edward reached down and stroked Envy leg gently.
Envy held back a moan and looked at Edward. The blond smirked and looked away. "Stop it" Envy whispered and pushed Edward a bit.
The blond laughed and began to eat.
" We are losing" said Lust. She sat at the table with Dante, Sloth, Pride and Gluttony.
"This is bad. First Envy, Greed and now Wrath. They are going to end up dead. " Pride said. Gluttony whimpered.
"Being human makes them weak." Dante said. " We should forget them. They are no longer any use to us. Just leave them be. If they die...then they die."
Lust sighed and looked over at the window.
Was this woman trying to wage war?
