Hey guys, sorry for long update, been a crazy month for me. Mom went to the hospital, sister got in a fight with parents and moved out, and everything for my fanfictions had been on my other computer which had to be repaired and lost all those files for the fanfictions.
But I managed to get this written on my school laptop, so here you guys go.
Thank you for waiting and sticking to this while I wasn't updating.
Lust tried, she really did try to avoid any other employees and seem completely normal, but Dante must have returned to her office and noticed both Lust and the homunculus were gone, because right as she reached bottom floor, the security guards were ready for her.
"They know about Dante, the alchemy and me," the homunculus said through her bag, "They are completely loyal to her, maybe through alchemy maybe through insanity."
She nodded as she backed back towards the stairs. She couldn't fight them on one on one, they were bigger and out-numbered her. One of the guards lunged at her, and she leapt back.
"Down the stairs! Down the stairs!" Her tiny friend ordered and Lust obeyed, running down the stairs towards the basement.
The guards weren't that far behind her as she ran, and trying to speed up to avoid them, Lust tripped, her bag falling down the stairs and the homunculus' jar flew out of it, rolling on the ground.
"Sorry!" Lust said, leaping down the stairs and picking up the jar.
The homunculus rubbed it's head with two arms, probably in a bit of pain from that fall but she could see red electricity around it, tiny as it was, and it shook it's head.
"Never mind me, there is a window, small, yes, but you could crawl through it. Lose these oafs first though, hide!" it ordered.
As it said this, she could see the shadows of the guards come down, and Lust dived behind a pile of boxes.
The group of guards stumbled down the stairs and started spreading out, tossing over crates and shooting behind items to try and find her.
"Don't. Move. An. Inch." The homunculus warned almost silently.
Lust gave an inaudible nod of her head as she waited.
A guard started stalking towards her hiding spot and Lust froze, compelling her entire being not to shoot up and run.
He put a hand at the top of the boxes and was about to look over when one of the guards stopped him.
"I don't think she's down here, let's look back upstairs," He said and started up the stairs, "Bitch probably tried to trick us and went back up the stairs."
The guard that had been right behind Lust nodded and followed behind and went up the stairs.
Lust and the homunculus waited another minute or so before Lust crept out of her hiding place and glanced at the homunculus.
Silently, it tilted it's head to the window and Lust knew what it meant, and put the jar in her purse before climbing out of the window.
Squinting her eyes, she stood up and put a hand up to shield her eyes from the sun and then took The homunculus out.
It squinted its large eyes and let out a breath of awe.
"It's so, it's so beautiful out here," It gasped out in shock and awe and Lust smiled.
"It is isn't it? A lot better than a stuffy office," she asked and the homunculus nodded it's head in agreement.
As Lust quickly walked, thankful for the empty streets, she looked at the jar, "Where too now?" She asked.
The homunculus thought for a moment, "The forest, we can lose them there and then we can figure out when no one can find us," it said and Lust nodded, and started walking in the direction towards the forest, putting the jar in her purse and melting into the crowds that started to get thicker the farther down the streets she got.
She knew that she wasn't out of the fire yet, she was still in danger and it would take a while until Dante gave up looking for her and the homunculus, if she ever gave up looking for them.
But she would do what she could to keep the two of them safe from Dante, no one deserved to be imprisoned like the homunculus had been for years and centuries and she wasn't going to let it be locked up again.
Hope you liked this chapter, I'm sorry that it was short but I'll try and make the next one a little longer.
Review and tell me what you thought, the good and the bad.
