Red knew what to do. Told stupid so. Wanted help, Red helped. But gotta help Red first. Gotta see stupid man to help Greed. Hope help Greed. Greed needs help. Stupid needs to get stones, don't know why. Stupid stones. Just need them. Stupid thoughts were getting bad. Stupid stones, stupid, stupid, stupid. Greed. Stupid wanted to be with Greed. Hold cold hand, press to cheek. Press, press, press.
But have to be with Red, stupid has to stay with Red. Back in the stupid scary moving thing. Didn't like stupid moving thing, but had too. Red said we had to drive to stupid man. Stupid man should come to us. Hit bumps, lots of bumps. Stupid yelp slipped out a few times, Red slammed brakes those times. Sorry Red. Don't mean too. Sorry so scary. Stupid get better. Promise. So many promises.
First Greed. Greed always first. Gotta save my Greed, gotta make him better. Miss him. Don't wanna lose him, miss him too much then.
"We're almost there, don't worry Rage. We'll make sure Greed is safe. Just, don't be scared about this man, Shou Tucker. He sounded a little creepy on the phone, just don't let him see that your scared. Okay?" Stare at Red, hands on wheel, curls bouncing with stupid bumps. She glanced over, making a face, tried to copy. Copy pretty Red's face. Don't work, just stared. "Good, this wont be hard at all."
"Right. . . . .no. . . . . . hard." I tried to smile, smile sad stupid smile, got the corners up a little. Red laughed, smiling her pretty smile back. Stupid smile. I wanna smile pretty smile too. Red has to teach stupid how. But later. Greed first.
"Okay, so here's the place he wanted to meet us at. You still have the money, right?" Hold up stupid bag. Red's bag, but she let me hold it. Nice Red, always so nice. Wanna be like Red. "Good, we're going to need that, so hold onto it tight, okay?" Nod, nod, nod. Just wanna get stupid stones, and go to stupid sick Greed. Miss him, miss him bad.
Follow Red, knows where she's going, so follow her. Creepy place, scared, but wont say so. Can't. Gotta do this, for Greed. Stupid Greed. Why did you have to get sick? Stupid sick, hate sick. Not fair that my Greed got sick! Not fair at all! Red looked back, sad smile, don't sad smile stupid. Wanted to reach out, hold Red's hand. Scared, don't wanna be scared anymore. Red reached out, ding donged the door, and scary freaky stupid tall man showed up. Yelped, stupid broken sound. Red reached over, touched stupid ugly arm, and the stupid big man backed out of the way so stupid and Red could go in.
Scary didn't have a nice house like Red. Stupid ugly house, should be like Red's. But looked like Big Brother Envy's. Scary stepped around me, stare, stare, staring. Reached for Red, stupid Red. Don't leave me, scared. But Scary pushed Red away, stare, stare, staring.
"What is she?" Scary whisper talked, why does stupid Scary whisper talk? I don't understand, I don't get it. Scary reached out a big ugly paw, and stupid screamed and pushed away, falling back. Hard. Stupid ground hurt, but Scary was coming closer. "Is she an animal? I know she can't be a Humiculious, she's way too. . .broken."
Broken? Stupid is broken? That's what stupid is? Looked at Red, eyes wide, Red's eyes were wide. Why? Stupid can't be broken, I don't hurt. No pain, Greed in pain. Stupid Scary has to help fix Greed, not stupid broken me!
"Greed. . . . . . . . . . .save my. . . . . . . Greed." Scary pulled back. What was he? Stupid monster thing. Was that what stupid would look like? Ugly stupid bear thing?
"She talks! But not very well. . .I might have something that could fix that." No! Save Greed, got to help save my Greed! Please! Look at Red, standing there scared and stiff. Stupid Red! You can't be scared now! You gotta help me! You said you'd help me! "Maybe I could alter her thought process a little, or maybe fix whatever is damaged. There's so many things I could do to fix this. . .creature."
"PLEASE!" Scary animal scream scared stupid a little. Scary stopped his stupid whisper talk and stared, Red jumped. Have to get Greed help. Have to now! "Sick. . . . . . . .Greed. . . . . . . . Help. . . . . . Save my. . . .Greed. . . . . . .please."
"Is that why you need the stones?" Whisper talk scared me. Stupid Scary, talk right! Not even stupid sounds that bad!
"Save. . . . . . . . .Greed." Red stepped over, taking stupid bag from me and handing it to Scary. Scary looked at it, smiled scary smile and walked off. Don't wanna smile like Scary. Red smiled at me. Smile like her. But can't. Never can.
"It's going to be alright, just relax Rage." Red sounded sweet. But don't understand. Sorry Red, stupid broken brain wont let me.
"Scared. . . ." I mumbled. Still sounded flat and dead. Creepy sounding like Scary, gotta fix that. Can't be like Scary.
"I know, I am to. But it's gonna be okay. We will get the stones, and get back to Greed as soon as possible. I promise." Nod, nod, nod. Red's right. Always right. I wanna be more like Red! Need to be. Scary came back, brown bag held in big brown hands. Scared of scary and his bear hands. Red took the bag. Scary stared at me, scary smile on his face. Stupid scary, wanna hurt him for scaring stupid like this. But can't, need the stones, need to be fixed.
"I could fix you, you know that right?" Fix? Fix stupid broken brain? "All you have to do is come back, and I will fix you and make you how you want to be. I can make you remember, I can make you talk, and laugh, and become. . .human."
Human? Stupid head started to spin. How can stupid be human? Stupid too broken! Scary smiled again, stupid smile, never smile like that. Never. But wanna be fixed, wanna get better. For Greed, stupid sick Greed. Gotta get better for him. And Red. Gotta be like Red.
"I think we are done here, thank you Mr. Tucker." Red walked over, grabbed stupid broken arm, and pulled stupid out the door. Stupid wanted to stay with scary, get fixed. But can't. Gotta get Greed better first. Gotta fix Greed. Stupid Greed. "Here, hold onto these."
Stupid heavy bag was shoved into broken hands. Looked down, stones. Stupid stones to make Greed better. Greed. My Greed. Gotta get back to him! Gotta save him before he gets worse. Can't die, wont let him. Can't lose my Greed. Run to Red, threw a stupid broken arm around her shoulders and ran. Ran hard. Fast and hard. Didn't stop when stupid Red called out. No stop, wont, can't. Gotta get to Greed. Gotta save Greed.
Stupid body flew fast through streets and scary moving things that Red liked to drive. Woods were the worst. Stupid woods, hurt face and arms. But didn't notice. Couldn't stop. Go, go, go. Ran until Red's house was there. Stupid scary thing was there too. Red's home. Good. Run faster. Stupid legs, gotta go faster. Can't slow down. Blue waiting, waiting by stupid door. He moved when stupid came close and smiled sadly.
Can't stop, gotta get to Greed. My Greed, gotta get to him. Gotta save him so he can be better. Stupid Greed don't die, not yet, not now. . .not. . . Red looked up. Stupid tears, why were there stupid tears on her face. Walked to Red, mean little man stepped out of room. Stupid mean man, don't like him anyway. Touched Red's face, why tears? Don't understand, stupid can't understand.
"Tears. . .. . .?" Stupid face was covered in them, Red's too pretty to cry. Don't cry Red. Nothing to be sad about. "Don't. . . . . . . . . . be sad. . . . . . . . . .. . .all. . .better. . . . .now." Tried to smiled, but wont work, can't. Red sobbed, why so sad? Don't understand, can't. Al walked over, told Red to leave. Why leave? Don't leave Red, Greed will be better now. All better. Right?
"Rage. . .Greed's not gonna get better." Stare. What was stupid Al talking about? Don't understand. Greed is better. Stupid has the stones, stupid stones. Has to be better.
"No. . . . . .have. . . . . . Stones." Smile, smile like Red. Tried, twitching, but not working. Why don't work? Turned to Greed, sleeping. Stupid Greed, gotta get up, gotta eat stupid stones. Time to feel better. Took stupid Greed's head in arms and rested on lap, taking stones out of bag to give him. Stupid Greed, get up! "Wake. . . . . . . . . . .up. . . . .now."
"Rage. Greed isn't going to wake up." Blue. Blue mumbled from the door. Stupid Blue, don't even like Greed. Stupid Greed! Wake up. Tired to put stones to stupid mouth, but Greed wouldn't take them.
"Open. . . . . . .up. . . . . . .please?" Could hear Red crying. Why was Red crying? Wanted to ask Blue, but he hated stupid. Wouldn't answer anyway. Tried again, but still wouldn't take stupid stones. What's wrong? Greed. . .wake up? Shake stupid Greed. Wont get up, why wont stupid Greed get up. Shake harder, shake, shake, shake! Made noise, like an animal begin stepped on. Stupid Greed wake up. Wake up! WAKE UP!
"Get her Al! Hold her down!" Blue shouted, but wouldn't let go of Greed, shake harder! Gotta shake hard to wake him up! Please! Greed, wake up! Stupid Greed, WAKE UP!
"WAKE UP!" Shout, shout, shouting. But wont work, nothing worked. Al grabbed stupid broken arms, pulling me from Greed. Tears, stupid tears everywhere. Can't stop them, wont let me. Keep fall, fall, falling. Don't do this! Don't die Greed! Not my Greed, can't take my Greed from me!
"WAKE UP! Wake. . . . .up! . . . . . Please." Pushed away from Al, but held too tight. Wouldn't let go until stopped screaming and wiggling. Stupid Greed, promised not to leave me! Promise not to! Supposed to wake up! Wake up! Tears wouldn't stop, like Red. Stupid eyes are broken to. My Greed. . .they took my Greed! He was mine! MINE! Rock, rock, rock back and forth. Not fair, not fair! Supposed to get better, stupid stones supposed to help. What happened? Why is Greed gone? My Greed? Why? Don't understand, can't. Supposed to get better, Red said so! Promise!
"R-Rage?" Greed! Stood up, away from Al. Greed! My Greed! Still here, knew he was still here. "Rage. . . . . More. . . . . . .more stones."
Hurry! Gotta hurry, hurry, hurry. Help stones into Greed's open mouth, gotta get Greed back. My Greed. Tears, stupid tears ran down face, over and over again. So happy, more than happy. More and more stones, till all gone and Greed was sitting up. Greed! My Greed.
"Greed!" Stupid throat yelled, sounded scary but didn't care. Greed! He was back, stupid Greed was back and smiling. Al ran to tell Red. Hurry Al! Red needs to be here, needs to see! See stupid Greed all better. Hold him, hold him tight and close. "No. . . . . . .let. . . . . .go."
"No, never again, I'm so sorry Rage." Greed hold back, hold tight. Missed stupid Greed, never want to lose him again. Never. Never lose you Greed. Never. Not my Greed.
*Some place far away*
"So your telling me there's a demon in the form of a girl running freely around with our Greed?" Dante's smooth black eyebrow lifted up in curiosity, but I knew better. That small motion, that slight twitch, was her way of pushing herself into obsession. She is going to obsess over Rage, this freak, until she is able to catch her and wake her up.
"Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. But she doesn't know what she is. I think her master did that on purpose." My foot started to tap impatiently as I stood in front of the thin, angular woman who claimed she owned us. I wanted to hurt her, to rip her apart right here and now. But she had the power to call the gate, she would throw me behind it without thinking.
"Hum. . .that's fine. Perfect actually. We can use her how we want to, wake her up when we're ready for her." I gritted my teeth, jealously bubbling up. I hated Rage! I hated the fact that I found her, she's taken up everything I'd worked so hard for, delayed me becoming human! I want to hunt her down right now and kill her! Her and her stupid boyfriend!
"Do you think she's dangerous?" Dante turned, a smile forming on her lips.
"I don't know Envy, you will have to tell me when you bring her to me."
