There is finally going to be some plot movement in this one! WOO! Some, not a lot LOT.

I knew it was being slow, my stories are known to be like that in the beginning since I'm always freaking out over not writing the correct episode contents, or missing a character. I wanted to figure out where to put my OC's, and right as Ed and Al find Marcoh's notes seemed good to me.
I always think between the episodes the Homunculi are shown, they're doing other stuff behind the scenes that Hiromu didn't add, or put, just because Edward and Alphonse are the main characters- What I hope to do, is get my OC to show you guys what I think they would be doing, instead of just like,

Sitting in a room full of pipes. Playing chess.
Bored.
Waiting for the human sacrifices to mess up. Have to scold them again.
UGH.

Life as a Homunculous is hard.

Maybe the low-pay is why Envy hates humans so much? He doesn't like being a baby-sitter.
I don't either.
Kid's are devil spawn.

SO WITH THESE HILARIOUS THOUGHTS -to me- I PRESENT TO YOU THE NEXT PLOT MOVING CHAPTER!
(and yes, Envy was meant to retrieve OC, even though Father ordered her to stay with the Elric's because he wanted her to help Lust, Gluttony, and Envy destroy the library.)

"Liar."
A yelp, then a sound of leaves being crushed along with a heavy-sounding 'thump'.
"Quiet. We're almost there." A hand covers her mouth, to stifle chuckles.
A soft groan, and more leaves crunching.
"I said quiet, Jealousy."

As Lust ventured further towards the building, I rested my hands on my hips, and stuck my tongue out.
"Oh, be quiet, Jealousy! You're being too loud!" I playfully mimic her, but then furrow my eyebrows at how well it sounded.
Making a 'bleh' sound, I try to revert to my old voice, but her deep sultry one wouldn't leave since they way she talks was in my head.
Stuck in my spot, I hear a call, and suddenly a large hand is grasped over my arm, and I am pulled forward by Gluttony.
"Lust said for you to come. Lust said to come get you, you were being too slow."
The fat man said, making me wince at his drool and tongue as he spoke. He kept once finger in his mouth at all times, reminding me of a cannibalistic big baby.
I shivered.

Lust's figure came into view, and we hurried along, me relieved that there was no one around, and Gluttony happy to receive praise from Lust.
Honestly, I didn't want to be here.
I didn't want to be doing the dirty work of Father, the head of all evil-doo'ers here.
That kind of made me a bit too snappy for Lust's liking.

"So, how are we going to get rid of an entire plethora of books? Fire? Boom crackle snap?" I imitate Mustang, and yelp when his gloves shift over my hands, and I fling them side to side, still not used to the sudden ability.
Lust didn't even spare me a glance as I kept flailing behind her.
"Do we got any dynamite? That stuff is good." I say, resorting to pulling off the gloves at throwing them on the ground, hissing at them for scaring me. "We should probably use it at the base if we do so happen to have it in stock." I mutter, looking towards the main structure of the Library.
Lust lifted her head to stare directly at me, and I blinked at her usual cold look.

"Must you talk so much? What part of 'be quiet' did you not understand?"
My eyebrow twitches, and huffed, a pink rising to my pale cheeks at her scolding.
I was slowly becoming used to Lust, even though having talked to her without getting wounded for 20 minutes.

"Don't compare me to him! I'm not like him! I don't wanna be like him!" I defend myself, and Lust gave me deadpan facial expression.
"Uh huh. Don't you know that even though Envy and Jealousy are completely polar opposites, both their existences orbit around want and hatred?" I raise a brow, and crossed my arms, then grumbled at how I couldn't exactly fold them over across my huge chest.
I still have no idea how Lust does it.
"You stem from Envy, and therefore have a connection to him." At her words, I shake my head. "Uh, okay then. By that-?" Before I could fully comprehend what she told me, a loud 'thud' and an Envy later, I had yelped and tripped to the side, almost falling but catching myself.

He had hopped down from the roof of the building, and landed in between Gluttony and myself. He didn't even spare me a glance as well, and turned to Lust.
Like he didn't want to give me the time of day.

"There are about 30 humans around the front."
Lust nodded, and turned to me.
"I want you to cause a ruckus and divert everyone's attention. We need as little carnage as possible so as to not draw too much attention. Is that clear?"
Being very unresponsive, I pointed a finger at myself, and Lust simply raised an eyebrow.
"Oh. Me. I thought you meant palmtree over there." I point to Envy, and as he was directing his gaze at the ground, turned and finally looked towards me long enough to glare. I don't know why I did it, even I hate the nickname for him, but it just. Happened.
"Watch it, you brat! I will slice you in half before you even blink!"
"Sorry! I didn't mean to actually offend the great and powerful Envy!"
It was like the brave part of me was opening up, now knowing I couldn't truly die.
"I'm serious, shut up!" He bared his teeth, and stepped closer.

I rose my hands in mock surrender, and shrugged.

"Why don't you make me, you gender-less ninja prostitute?!"
The insults tumbled out of my mouth before I could stop them.
Lust looked mildly amused.
He growled at me, and crouched to launch at me, I turned tail and ran.
Lust doing nothing to stop Envy from chasing me.
"GET BACK HERE, BRAT!"

I don't know what came over me to mess with him like that, but... A part of me was cheering, a part of me that felt powerful.
I really didn't like it.
Then again... It was kind of fun ticking off Envy.
Surely this would be distraction enough for those people?

The rushing wind pulling my hair back was almost too much, as I realized I was heading around the building, and if I just sprinted out the side, it wouldn't be as noticeable as, oh, let's say, jumping from the rooftop.
Sparing a glance behind me, I screech at seeing Envy closing in on me, a cruel smirk on his face.
Yelping, I speed up, and it felt like my feet weren't even touching the ground. Edging closer to the front of the building, I close my eyes, and bend my legs to shoot off, thinking I can manage to grab the tree- When I ended up slamming into the branch above the one I aimed for.
Envy skidded to a halt, and flipped to jump across from the wall of the building to me.
"Stop moving!"

Not planning to get stabbed right through any time soon, as he landed right in front of me, he lifted an arm and it flitted into the familiar grey blade. His smirk grew at an insane amount of joy lit up his eyes as he charged forward to slice at me, but I grabbed his shoulders, and using his body as a lift-up, jumped over him and kicking off his back, landed in a heap on the roof across the tree I was in.
Groaning, I hear mild curses from where I left Envy, and as I lifted myself onto my feet from my crappy landing, I suddenly feel something grip my ankle, and I am pulled back down.

Screaming a bit in mild terror, I soon regret my actions of pissing of someone powerful off. I felt myself being dragged a bit, and looked to my feet to see a green rope-like object, and knowing it was Envy's arm, I tried to smack it off or kick it off.
He only tightened his grip as he stood a few feet behind me, and I heard a familiar sickening 'snap', and my ankle had been broken. Hearing the sparks of the Stone working in favor to heal me, this intimidation and abuse was something I wasn't used to just yet.

I was a rookie, and I mocked a Superior in the face.
Instead of getting intense exercises and a good screaming-to, I got stabbed right through.

Even if I could apparently shapeshift, I have no idea how to just shift one part of my body, like my hand. What if I turn into a huge spike?
What if all my limbs turn into daggers?
I'll just be a human ninja star.
No sir.
I felt the raw burn of the roof rubbing away my skin, and stray pebbles burrow into the reddened flesh, making tears fall from my eyes. I flailed around, trying to kick off Envy again, who laughed at my squirming. He dragged me closer, and stepped forward, before wrapping the one arm he used to wrap around my torso, breaking a few of my ribs in the process.
I coughed, unable to breathe properly as Envy leered close to my face.

"Oh, it's nice getting back at you! After all, you can't die!" The feeling of getting stabbed through my stomach once again brought blood to my lips, and I hacked, before I glared up at the grinning face of Envy.
The pain from my abdomen was horrid, but not so much as the emotional pain I felt, as I stared into the violet eyes of Envy.
The anger, the burning satisfaction, the resentment.
Why could I see it when he always built walls and hid everything so easily? It wasn't hard seeing the envy he felt, but normally... Wasn't all you could see was hatred?

His arm was still embedded in my torso, and he pulled it out as red flashes sprung out to heal me.
"We have work to do, but this isn't ov-"

"I'm sorry..."

I interrupted him, I knew he was irritated at that, I could see it, but I wanted to apologize.
He looked positively livid at my words.

"What?"
I open my mouth to repeat it.
"You're sorry?" He sounded mocking, and I would've believed he felt nothing but amusement at my words, but his eyes flickered down for a moment, his grin faltered. He was confused, and irritated because of the confusion he felt. I could see it.
Confused, maybe, as to why I apologized, when we both know what I am.

"Y...Yes. I.. It was rude of me to say those things. I'm sorry." I said sincerely, because I was sorry.
I truly was.
He looked disgusted when I said it again.

Before he slowly covered the lower half of his face, as he began giggling.
"You think I care whether you're sorry or not? You really are a weakling."He lifted his arm, his cruel grin looking like it should split his face, and slammed me into the roof.
I gasped as more snaps and cracks echoed inside my body.
"YOU THINK A 'SORRY', WILL STOP ME FROM GIVING YOU WHAT YOU DESERVE?" He was cackling at this point, and I closed my eyes in a wince.
He was truly a sadistic killer.

"I-I... R-really am.. Sor..rry.." I grunt out, blood pouring from my lips, as red flashes continued to light up around me, since he kept crushing me every time I healed myself. With my eyes still closed, the pain was enough for me to solely focus on it alone.
"Sorry for me? What an insult! That's even worse than what you said before." I felt a sharp kick to my ribs again, as he had stepped closer to me. "Don't be sorry. It makes me sick to think you'd bring the rest of us down to your level."
Another kick, this time, it turned me on my side, and I couldn't help but curl up in a tight ball.

I felt so angry.
He kicked again at my kidney's, making me grind my teeth.
At myself, for even thinking I could comfort them. They wouldn't understand, they'd only view compassion as an insult. It's like pitying a strong man for not being able to save the day. This time, it was strong inhuman creations, who only know pain and destruction because they aren't like everybody else.
He set his foot in the middle of my spine, slowly adding his immense weight.
I'm not human anymore.

I'm like them.

My face was pressed into the hard rough surface of the roof, and I slowly opened my right eye that wasn't being ground into cement.

Doesn't mean I have to turn into a monster. I can still be me. No matter what they say, or make me do.
Staring up at Envy, I feel my eyes burn, but not from oncoming tears, I soon felt the same tingle.
I will do it with the thoughts of me, being only myself, not the Sin I am titled to.

"You think I asked to turn into this?" I mumble, at the weight on my back didn't lift, but he turned his head to hear me better. "Huh? What was that? You're gonna have to speak up." He said, with the same cruel smirk.
The side of my mouth twitches, as I the tingling edges from my eyes, to my scalp.
His eyes darkened, and he hissed lowly.
"What do you think you're doing." He said, and I felt his fingers pull at my hair, and I hissed back at him.
"DO YOU THINK I WANTED THIS?!" I yelled, and my breathing was heavy. He looked surprised, as I felt the tingling travel down the rest of my body, a lot quicker than the first time.
He stepped back slightly, before narrowing his eyes, and lurched forward, and aimed to grab at my throat, and my eyesight went crazed.
It felt like I was being controlled, but my movement were my own.
Yet, I could see everything I did, and my brain told me I was the one doing all this, but at the same time, it was like it wasn't truly all me.
"I DIDN'T WANT TO BE TURNED INTO A MONSTER!"

Lifting a leg, I kicked under his chin, he grunted and hopped back, and I flipped back, landing in a crouch with my hands supporting me. Envy stood some feet away, and wasn't moving to attack me any further, and red sparks flickered around me again, healing the wounds I received from before.

He was actually silent for once, as the words once again tumbled out without my consent.
"I KNOW YOU HATE ME. YOU HATE EVERYONE WHO HAS EVERYTHING." I yelled at him, and his fists clenched, opening his mouth to retort, I interrupt him again.

"You think I don't miss being human? Having a life, that was normal? You think I wanted all of it to go away? I am grateful to still be alive, but with this body, I am only a shell. Full of envy!" I pointed at him, and he looked like I socked him in the gut.
"How da-"
"Lust said there was a connection between Envy and Jealousy. I hate it!" I glared at the ground, surprised he hadn't launched at me yet.

"It's always there!" I grip the area where my heart is, and I shook my head. "Like someone is choking you, and you can breathe only because they let you." I furrow my eyebrows. My eyes burning for another reason altogether.
"No matter how hard you try to hide it..." I slump my shoulders, and drop my hand.
"I hate it."
I repeat.

It was quiet, and all I could hear was the people chattering below, and my pants.
I blinked slowly, the tingling coming back, running along my scalp. Before it could fully envelope me, I casually looked down at myself, my chest feeling lighter.

The tight tanktop-like shirt I was wearing was a dark purple, something I didn't mind.
But...

...
Where were my boobs?

"Uh..." I lift my hands, and see more familiar clothing, finger-less gloves, and I wiggled them to make sure they were mine. "Uh..." I looked further down, and jump in place, yelping.
Seeing a familiar skort a certain palmtree wears, and I pat at it, confusion written across my face.
"Eh?!"
Glancing up, I see Envy, whom had noticeably calmed down, but was still irritated.

"Ah! The heck?! Why am I wearing this?!" I then pointed at him, and he merely blinked.
"IT'S YOUR FAULT! YOU SHOULDN'T OF BEEN IN MY LINE OF SIGHT!"
He reeled back at my claim, and he pouted which was weird, considering he just tortured me.
"What do you mean 'my fault'? You're the one who shifted into me!"
Huffing, I put my hands on my hips.
"Well how do I change back!?"
"Think of what you look like, you moron." He face-palmed.
"Moron?! Don't call me-" I then covered my mouth.

He actually looked amused.
"I.. I sound like you..." I say in despair, and he 'tch'ed'. "Yeah, and don't make me sound like that. I'm not wimpy."
Puffing my cheeks out, I walk over to him, and he scanned me.
"Checking yourself out? I gotta admit, you do look good." I swing my hips side to side laughing, and I felt a harsh smack on the back of my head.
"Ow! The heck was that for!"
"Making me look stupid. Change back now." He ordered flatly.

I cross my arms, turning my head to the side. "Mm. No. I like your outfit. I'ma keep it." I say, putting my hands on my hips, as I close my eyes and try to think of what I looked like.
In my concentration, I tilt my head, the tingling traveling over my arms, legs, torso, and face.
How did he just stop giving me hell?
"... By the way.. Why aren't you trying to kill me anymore?"

A moment of silence.
I raise a brow, and after I was done, opened my eyes to see he was gone.
"What?!"

Hearing screams, I run over to see people running from outside the building, and it was darker now.
Huh?!
Looking around wildly, I then run across to the back of the building to hop off, but I feel something really hot slide up the side of my leg, and I scream, and trip on a lodged piece of stone, and I land in a heap.
As I move to sit up, I hear deep creaking of wood below me, and my eyes widen.
I look over to my hand, to see cracks circling me, and I gulp a breath of air in terror, as flames light up outside the windows in front of me.

"ENVY!"

(Short Envy POV, WOO!)

Chuckling to myself, I stand beside Lust watching the flames rise up from the Library we just burned.
Lust closes her eyes and hums.
"She's lucky Father gave her a powerful Stone." She said from her place atop Gluttony. Why he was so dense, I'll never know.

Now laughing, I turn to her with a grin on my face. "She should be grateful, crying on the ground at the mercy Father showed her."
Lust simply blinked, and stood up.
Sensing we were about to leave, I put a hand on my hip, and raise a brow.

"Can you believe she actually apologized to me? She looked so ridiculous, actually crying. You should've seen her."
Lust rose a brow, and patted Gluttony on the head, who asked if 'He could eat her'.
"No, no you can't. -And, yes, I can believe it."
I squinted my eyes at her.
"Oh really? Why is that?"
"Because she wants to stay human. So, feeling guilty, and being sincere are her ways of keeping what humanity she has left." Lust explained, and that had me inwardly growling.
"Oh, so what you're saying is, she wants to be a sniveling little worm? Even when Father gave her the opportunity to-"
"Envy, you and I both know Father gave her the Stone only because he wanted to." She said, her voice lowered in a type of sternness.
"She isn't an essential assent, just something to toy with the Human Sacrifices as much as Father wants."
I scoffed, and stared back at the flames engulfing the building.

The sight of the humans rushing for safety amongst all the chaos made my blood rush.

"Since you look so happy, why don't you wait for her while we give the report to Father?" I looked over at her in shock. "Not to mention you were the one who interrupted her task."
"She deserved it! And by the time she finally quit being weak enough to-..." I paused, recalling her words back on the roof. I growled, and anger turned everything red.
"What? No! She can find her own way back. I'm not waiting for her to only slow me down." I spit out, stepping forward, only to have Lust sigh.

She shook her head.
"Remember? She doesn't know where the Underground passageway is yet. Whether you like it or not, you were sent to bring her back. That includes not abandoning her and return her to Father." I narrowed my eyes at the flames now.
"Besides, she might surprise you."

I look at her, suspiciously, knowing she was scheming something.
"What are you planning, Lust?"
She was quiet for a moment, before shrugging. "Just a little entertainment."
At that, she was off in a blur back to tell Father the information we received.

Glaring out at the building slowly turning to rubble, I jump up into a tree, waiting for the brat.
Resting my chin in my hand, I relax my heated glare.

"I'm sorry..."
Hazel eyes sad, filled with guilt.

"Hmph... Lucky I can't kill you, you brat."

(Third POV)

Coughing and sputtering a mess of black, a girl with messy curly hair dragged herself out of the rubble of the collapsed Library building. Lifting herself off the charred ground, she stops for a moment to shiver violently, before rolling her shoulders and mumbling,
"Poor burgers and hotdogs..."
Voices and police caution tape was wrapped around the area, and she ducked behind a larger section of rubble. Coughing a bit still, she sprinted over to the side, and managed to miss any wandering passerby.
Now well-enough hidden behind a building close to the First Branch, she looks down at herself. Covered in black, she brushes off most of it. Leaning forward, she flings her thick hair and shakes out her hair, soot falling out of it in puffs.
"Wow, no wonder my head felt heavy." ruffling it with her fingers she gets the rest out.
Standing straight, she flicks off some more soot from her shoulders.

"What?!" Yelping at the loud voice, she stabled herself from the shaking ground beneath her. The voice was familiar, and made her move from her spot hidden in the shadows.
Smiling, she sees Edward and Alphonse.

"You are to gain the trust of the Elric's."

Her smile falters, and her eyebrows crease, creating a look of sadness. "...Oh.. Right." Briefly staring down at the dirty cement ground, her fists clench, before she bolts forward to go meet up with the two boys.
Passing awed people, she maneuvers through the shocked crowd, and closer to the alchemists.
"Edward! Hey Ed!" She calls, and comes to a stop by the younger brother, whom was peering down at the wilted blonde. "Oh, hello Suzanne. What are you doing here?" Alphonse greets, seeing as he hadn't seen the girl since back at Central HQ.
She waved a hand at his question, and shrugged with a somewhat shy smile. "I just happened to be in the area. I was doing a bit of looking around, and wondered what all the fuss was about. And now I see why." She stares out at what remained of a large section of building.
"What happened, do you know?" The suit of armor sighs, and shake his head. "The First Branch of the Central Library burned down. They're still investigating as to why." Nodding, she furrows her brows at the idea of someone burning down a building.
"... What's his deal?" She asks, gesturing down to the lump of red and gold on the ground, though a hint of mischievousness flashes through her eyes. Alphonse sighs again. "Big brother wanted to find...Uh, books, on something really important, but they were in the First Branch, and since it's burned down, he can't get them." He explained, but Edward rose from the ground, and shook his head.
"Al, don't. Lillie told us all about her, and even if we don't know her well, we can trust her." He turned and gave her a thumbs up. "Isn't that right?"
Sweatdropping, the girl nodded.
"Are you.. Sure you didn't hit your head when you fell to the ground in self-pity?" She says, making the boy flinch.
"N-No! Just, if Lillie trusts you, so do we!"
At that, the girl puts her hands on her hips, and she raises an eyebrow.
"Don't trust me just of someone else's opinion. Even if you do respect or believe them whole-heartedly, it's still what you think of the person." She says with a wise aura.
Ed and Al turn to look at each other as sparkles float around her.

"W-Well, if you hadn't heard, the First Branch bu-" Edward began to explain, and the girl interrupted him. "..-I know! Al told me!" She grinned up at the younger brother, and the Edward grew a tick mark for her interrupting. "So, what were you searching for?" She asked, and Ed huffs.
"Marcoh's notes."
The girl looked surprised he told her.
"Hey! I can help you then!" She exclaims with a happy grin. "But.. Why did you tell me?"
The red cloaked boy turns and passes the two officers guarding him, whom had allowed the girl to approach without her evening knowing they were suspicious of her, and shrugs.
"Trust someone out of your own opinion. I did." He adjusted his cloak. "C'mon, Al. " The girl looks somewhat disappointed.
"C'mon Suz'."

Looking to Al, she points to herself. He chuckled and nodded, before following after his brother, along with the girl.

Rushing to catch up with the short, but fast-paced boy, the officers trail close behind.

Whew... That was looong.. :3
