Chapter 12
Midnight Madness
Point of View: Electra
It was midnight when I slipped into the room. Lust, Envy, Gluttony, and Wrath were waiting for me. I took my time, I was worth waiting for. Lust didn't look happy with me. Then again, Lust was always ticked at me, even if I didn't do anything, unlike Envy!
"It's nice of you to join us Vengeance!" Lust said.
"We thought you had deserted us," said Envy.
"Shut up!" I yelled. Envy ticked me off at any chance she got. I wasn't in the mood. I glared and touched my sais threateningly.
"Chill Vengeance!" said Wrath.
I pulled out a sai and held it to his throat. "I'll chill you out you little bastard!" I threatened. I couldn't help myself this time. How easy it would be to kill him right now, but instead, I didn't move.
"Let him go Vengeance, you can get your revenge in a different way," Lust said.
This sparked my attention. That's why they named me Vengeance, the eighth homunculi. Yes, I, Electra Vasquílez, was a homunculus; half-homunculus to be exact. Vengeance and I shared a body, so we were pretty much the same person. I was surprised no one had figured me out yet.
How had I come to be this way? Two words, Crimson Alchemist. He killed me, then he thinks its ok when he tries to fuse my soul back to my body! He killed me by slitting my throat after he killed two of my five sisters, right in front of me. The reaction created Vengeance, who thinks Mustang killed her, even though he didn't. I can be taken over at anytime day or night.
This arrangement I didn't like, but Vengeance was Vengeance, like it or not. Vengeance, even though last in command, was the most powerful of the homunculi. She could fight like I could, even using the ice. She could so beat Sloth because Sloth used water and Vengeance and I froze water. You could say, if she could, she avoided Vengeance.
"How?" I asked, still being Vengeance. Sometimes, like now, I would just be Vengeance when Vengeance was too ticked to come out of her side of our mind. Right now, she just didn't want to talk to Lust, obviously they had ticked each other off. I honestly didn't know how the two of them lasted this long with all of their limbs still attached to their bodies.
"One way, and I know it will please you," said Lust, she was trying to get to me. Her cheap tricks didn't faze me though, nothing did.
"How!" I pressed, the amber flecks in my eyes glowed even brighter and the alchemy sign on my left hip started to glow softly, like it did during stuff like this.
"Kill Roy Mustang."
I'd rather kill myself, then kill the one I love…
A/N: This is one of my favorite chapters, and the one some of my test readers liked the best. Oh yeah, and The computer changed Electra's last name to Vasqilez, but it's supposed to be Vasquilez. It's spelled with a u.
