Chapter two: The burned village
Envy came down from the tree and ran as hard as he could past his mates. Lust screamed and demanded to know what was going on, but Envy didn't even bother giving an anwser. He was to focused on his duty. To find out what the hell was going on. It was not that he loved the girl but he sure wanted know what the explosion was. He ran to the village but stopped just before he entered it. His eyes widened and he looked in shock at the choas. The happy, cheerful village had turned into a battlefield of blood and fire. Screams were heard everywhere. He ran into the village, followed by Lust and Gluttony. He didn't even care.
As he looked around searching for the girl he saw the mess that the explosion had made. Lifeless bodies lay around the ground in pools of blood. Children were crying next to the bodies of their parents. Another explosion was heard. The sky was filled with red flames and the scent of broken stone filled the air. Envy ran around screaming Trinity's name. No responce. He was starting to get really worried. What if the girl was dead? No that would be so unfair. They had just met. Wait wasn't that a little odd then. Being worried about someone who he just met? Envy shook his head. He didn't care. He went on with his search. Screaming he ran past all the people who were crying out in pain and ignored all their pleases to be saved. Gluttony was poking some dead kid who looked like he was burned to death. Lust just followed Envy yelling his name. And of course again demanding to know what was going on.
When he came in the center of the village, Envy stopped in his tracks. The whole center of the village was destroyed. The statue layed in pieces on the ground and the bars were burning. Again with people screaming. But something new joined the show. Huge machines marched through the street and fired at every building that still stood strong. Men in darkblue suits walked beside the murdermachines carrying weapons and shooting at running citizens. At the side of one of the burning building a woman ran out of the alley in search for cover at the end of the street. But she never made to the end. A soldier shot her in her head, puring the blood out of her eyes. The child who she had carried fell to the ground and started crying. The soldier who shot her, looked at the little kid and smirked while pointing his gun at the kid, who looked terrified. Without thinking Envy ran to the kid as hard as he could. If he could prefend one murder he would. "BAM"
He was to late. Blood was flowting from the childs body and the soldier was laughing like mad man. Envy looked at the now dead human. No, how could someone be so cruel. Almost like a homoclus. Almost as cruel as himself. He screamed as he fell to his knees and held the dead body. He looked at the soldier and growled. The soldier didn't even seem to notice him, he was to busy shooting other people. Envy couldn't believe that this kind of thing would happen to such a sweet village. Everyone had been kind to him even through he was a stranger. Even one of these people he had started to care for after just one night. Envy felt his blood beginning to boil. This was it. He would show them how pathic they were with their pittyful weapons. He putted the child back on the ground and started building up his power. But before he could do anything he heard it. A soft moaning. A soft cry for help. A cry for his name. Envy slowly turned his and met her silver eyes. Almost seeming empty. There laying next to a piece of stone lay Trinity. Her hand was out to him, begging him for his help. " Envy! Help me. " She screamed with what seemed all the power she had left. Not waiting one more secon Envy ran over to her and held her in his arms." Are you ok?" He asked worried but then took a good look at her body. She was bleeding. Bruises all over body. Her hair was wet of blood. He placed his hand at the wound she had on her stomach. She would survive much longer if she didn't got to see a doctor. Maybe even that was too late. He cursed. Then he looked at her face. She was smiling and crying." I am so glad I have met you before I will die. And that I would be in your arms when I died wasn't much a pleasant extra." She laughed sadly.
Envy placed her cheek in his hand." You are not going to die here. Never! I won't allowe it." Trinity looked at him with shock, but then started laughing which ended in painful coughs. Envy place a hand over her mouth. " Don't talk unless you have to. It will weaken your body. I am going to get you away from here and to someone who may be able to save you." Trinity slowy nodded and gave in to the darkness that was calling her. Envy cursed and sealed up the wound as best as he could. That would stop it to bleed. For a couple hours at least. Hopefully he would make in time.
Behind him Lust looked at the girl in the older sins arms. She shook her head. That girl was going to die. Sooner or later. Envy should know. Lust looked at her brother and gasped a little. He was looking so worried. So pained. Her eyes fell on the girl again. Was it because of this girl? What the hell happened last night that made the sin care for this girl? Now that Lust looked at the girl. She looked so young. So naive. It was hard to see but underneed that bloody mess was a little angel. Lust sighed. Why did she had to feel pity just today. She placed a hand on Envy's shoulder, who turned around and looked at her. "If you want to save her. I won't stop you but you have hurry. She won't hold out for long jugding by her injuries. I do not know what you are planning but I hope it is worth it." she said and walked back to Gluttony who was eating some corps. The soldiers were shooting around but didn't see the three thanks to the smoke. Envy picked up Trinity and started to run as quick as his feet could carry him. Off to the one who might be of any help. Off to Central.
