We were all piled into a train car and sitting quietly as we sped along the tracks...Ok so I was on the roof with Envy again while Ed was freaking out about me passing out again. I laid on the palm tree's lap and watched the sky while he combed my hair with his hands. Closing my eyes, I started humming a song my mother used to sing. It was soft and slow, melding with my mood perfectly. Envy never interrupted my little song until I was finished. "Where did you learn that? I think I've heard it before, but it's been several years." I gave a shrug before answering. "My mom sang it to Kai and me before bed every night. I never understood the lyrics and I was too young to remember them, but the melody is something you can't really forget."
silence resumed as we both let out a contented sigh. I don't know why, but Envy's presence always calms me down. Whether it's my mood or my dreams, it's never that bad when he's near me. Just as I shifted to get more comfortable, the train jerked making me roll off the roof with Envy following behind. We landed with a thump as the train sped away, leaving us in it's dust. "Well' I could think of so many things that could have happened and this was not one of them." Envy said, a frown pulling at his lips. "No use in complaining, I've gotten rather good at running." I grumbled while rotating my right shoulder. I heard the humunculis scoff as he looked at me. "Yeah, only thing is you'd be nude when you get there." Somehow I always forget that little tid bit of information.
The feeling of wind in my fur was something that I missed and I could tell that Envy was enjoying it as well. We had both turned into animals, I as a wolf (would I be anything else?) And Envy as a cheetah. Even though he was an immortal humunculis, Envy didn't have a prayer of keeping up with me. We had passed the train a few miles back, but I was too busy keeping up with an eagle to pay any mind to the screaming Edward in the window.
Naturally, when I came to the town that Ed was to find this murderer, I decided to sniff around to see what I could find. So many scents on the streets, it could send a nose spiraling out. Thankfully I knew better and stuck to the alleys and dark places where a typical psycho would hide. Before I got far, blood seeped into my nostrils and I was running again. A scream echoed out and ended with a gurgle causing my legs to pump faster. I lept at the man and drug him to the ground, a fierce snarl leaving my mouth as I pinned him.
Just a few moments after, Envy showed up with a sigh. "You can never just wait for the rest of us, can you?" He received a growl in response as I had a mouth full of clothing and shoulder. Edward was soon panting behind the humunculis. "Found him already?" He groaned and walked over to me and the pinned man. Al went to check the woman, though I could smell death from her already. "Alright Kai, let him go. We'll take him to the authorities. Let them handle this." I released my hold and trotted over to my favorite palm tree. Giving him a doggy smile, I jumped up and tackled Envy. He was getting far too cocky and needed to be knocked down a peg or two.
Mission complete and Mustang happy, a time to end the day with my new cuddle buddy. Ever since I found Envy sleeping on my couch in Central, I kinda just slept with him. No nightmares, no screaming bloody murder. Just peace and blackness, how sleep is supposed to be. Finding a hotel with vacancy seemed to be a challenge here in the west, everyone just kind of stayed in a hotel or outside. I came up with a brilliant idea and we ended up on the roof of a hotel.
A beautiful starry sky over our heads, the warm wind blowing gently by us and a warm humunculis to sleep with. Nothing could be better...except for the moron shooting off his shot gun two blocks over. "I swear, if he doesn't run out of ammo I'll make sure he runs out of something else." I growled, covering my sensitive ears with my new jacket sleeves. "I hear ya there. Why is he even shooting at this hour?" Envy yawned and leaned his head on mine. Another shot and I was up and jumping rooftops, the boys just waiting for me to come back.
Two more shots and I was behind the guy snarling and baring my fangs. "One more and I'll gut you." The man spun around with wide eyes and aimed his shotgun right at me. "DEMON SPAWN! RETURN TO HELL!" He screamed out and fired. I had managed to dodge the worst of it, but some hit my shoulder and a shard sliced my ear. I yelled and rolled behind a garbage bin, gripping my right shoulder while listening for what the man was going to do.
His footsteps reverberated on the brick walls causing my skin to crawl. I could hear a chuckle as he drew closer. Metal on concrete skid on the ground and my panic rose. -I think we found another psycho!- I screamed at myself and jumped from my hiding spot. "You are such a pretty demon, don't worry, master would love to see you...in pieces." Before I could process what the man said, a dart flew to my neck. I slapped my neck like it was a pesky mosquito and puled out the offensive dart. "Chloral hydrate? Seriously? I worked to be immune to that like, seven years ago." I scoffed, flicking the tiny needle away and readying for a fight.
Moments later, I had that man's jaw ripped from his face. Crouched over, bleeding out faster that a water hose. I left with a thought running through my head. -Hope the boys are alright.- Arriving at our little spot on the roof, I saw a few things missing. Such things would be Edward, Alphonse and Envy. "And here I thought that the crazy guy was behind bars. But No-o, There is a whole slew of 'em in this city that needs flushing out!" Kicking one of the small chimneys, I stalked over to where the boys used to be and started sniffing. A few muddled scents here and there but I could track the boys and the ones who took them.
Dark ally way, winding streets and flickering lights, the whole shebang of creepiness and I was just pissed off due to drowsiness. Whoever took my friends better be packing and leaving Amestris cause I was going to leave very little for Mustang to examine. A large iron door blocked my path of scents and being pissed never let me think too well. Let me ask you, if you were angry, lost your friends and something blocks your way, what are you going to do? Call for help? Find a different way? Ponder your thoughts? Well, you might, but not this wolf girl.
The sound of crashing metal could be heard city wide as I tore that door from it's rusted hinges. I think I traumatized a few of the guys who took my friends due to the new smell of urine in the room. Waltzing in like a girl on a field trip, I opened my mouth and said this. "IF YOU DON'T SHOW YOURSELF AND RETURN MY FRIENDS I'M GOING TO HUNT YOU DOWN LIKE THE VERMIN YOU ARE, TEAR OUT YOUR SPINE AND SHOVE IT DOWN YOUR THROAT!" Subtle, right? A clash sounded as if someone fell to the floor. the noise continued until something came tumbling down the steps and landed in a heap on the floor. "Oh, dear. My apologies. I had no intention of keeping your friends, only you. But, you were quite difficult to bring in. Using your friends as bait was the only way-"
He never did get to finish that sentence and I never questioned as to what he was going to do with me. I just crammed his spin into his mouth and left him where he fell. A pissed off wolf is nothing to mess with. Making my way up the steps, I could hear groaning. As I reached the top Ed let out a cheer as he saw me. Moments later we were all making our way to the train station, not having any need or want to stay in this town any longer than necessary.
The sun broke over the horizon and my little gang all piled into the train. Every one of us were too grumpy to talk seeing as no one had the courage to fall asleep. Opting for the cushioned seat of the coach, Envy and I curled up and fell asleep instantly. Leaving the twisted world and diving into peaceful sleep, if only for the moment.
All too soon, I was being shaken awake with Ed saying that we were in Central. "I slept the whole way?" I asked rubbing my eyes while sitting up. I felt a hand ruffle my hair and soon I was being lift up and carried out of the train. "I could get used to this." I mumbled, cuddling down into the strong arms of my humunculis. (Yes, I have claimed him. No touchy) "We're all heading over to see Mustang. After that we should be able to take a break for awhile, Al is taking the Exam soon." The not so small blondie said, crossing his arms behind his head and walking in front of us. "That would be nice, but when does Colonel Hothead ever let us have a 'break'?" I asked, making Edward shiver as he remembered the Colonel and his merciless missions.
The HQ building came into view and I gave the suggestion of staying by the statue with Envy, who liked the idea. "So, Mr. Humunculis. What are your plans now that all of your hated enemies are vanquished?" I asked waving my hand dramatically as he sat down with me on his lap. "I was just gonna follow you around. You can bring some very interesting things into your life and I find it interesting to be here." The boy answered and leaned back on the statue. "Well, I hope you're up for long rips and little sleep. Mustang never gives Ed the easy missions." I grinned up at him, red eyes sparkling with mischief. "I think I can handle it."
One hour two hours three hours and here come Edward pitching a hissy fit as per usual. "Hey Envy?" I asked, oh so sweetly. "Hn?" He turned to look at me. "Think fast." I smiled and captured his lips on mine. Envy flinched then relaxed, moving his arms around my waist before we pulled away. "Hope you can handle me." I smirked, running off to calm the fury of the blonde boy in the distance.
