Breda grinned as he saw Havoc in the library. Havoc grinned back before looking to his right and seeing Fuery at his right. "Hey boys," Havoc welcomed as he put a book back.
"Come with us," Breda said breathily. "Roy..." He was out of breath.
"Wants you...explain..." Fuery was out of breath too.
"Later," Breda finished.
Havoc sighed. "Alright."
The boys ran through the military building, but they ended up lost, at a dead end. "How in the hell..?" Havoc asked as he turned around to go back. The hallway was covered in shadows. "I didn't realize it was that late..."
"It's three in the afternoon," Fuery interjected as he stared at his watch.
"This is bad," Breda mumbled without trying to sugar-coat the situation.
The three men reached for the guns just in time for the shadows to grab each of them...
"Ack!" Havoc choked out as the shadow hands grabbed all three of them and lifted them.
An eye appeared in front of them. "You've sinned," It seemed to speak.
"No," Fuery whispered as he started losing air. "That's...Bradley's..."
Selim walked through the eye as if it didn't exist. "You've been helping Roy," he said in an unchildish voice. He narrowed his eyes, lowered his chin, and his eyes showed an empty hatred. "He doesn't like our goal."
"Goal?" Breda asked as he tried to get some air.
"We aren't human. But that doesn't matter now."
Fuery felt a tear fall. He knew why the kid was telling them the truth. They wouldn't know it for long. "Please," he pleaded helplessly.
"There's no rest for the wicked," Fuery whispered to them as he closed his eyes, waiting.
"There's no heaven without God, and there isn't a hell without the Devil." Selim implied that they were both God and the Devil as they were Humonculi.
"Don't," Havoc muttered in a semi-threatening tone. "Roy will...stop..." Havoc stopped speaking as the hand tightened and crushed his ribs. They came together and started crushing his insides. Havoc stopped breathing as the tips of his ribs touched with a shivering crush.
"No," Breda whispered as his eyes watered. He didn't get to cry. The hand smashed him even faster.
Fuery looked down with his eyes closed, face solemn. "I have no regrets," he whispered to Selim. Pride gaped as the shadow hand crushed Fuery and left as soon as Fuery stopped breathing.
"No regrets?" Pride whispered in disbelief. "How can you be happy dying-" his voice was rising- "if all you ever did was serve another worthless human?"
Pride's hands grew into fists. "Dying for an unworthy cause... How can you have no regrets?!" He stared at the eyes beside him for a few moments before cooling down.
He breathed out forcibly. "Damn humans..." He grumbled as he walked down the hall and searched for Riza.
Riza was leaning against a door, listening for Havoc. Pride grinned in a devious way as he silently walked up to her. Riza sighed as she removed her ear from the door and walked forward. Pride just smiled as he followed her. She went to six more doors before detecting someone behind her.
She turned with hostility. She looked down and saw Selim. "Why hello, little one. Are you looking for your dad?" Her soft voice was similar to his "mother's".
"No," he said in his cute child voice. He was smiling with his eyes closed, a true sign of innocent.
Riza nodded. "Huh..." she grinned warmly.
"I'm looking for you," he said in his deeper, demonic humonculi voice.
"Wha-?" Riza didn't get time to be surprised. The shadows consumed her, not giving her a chance to catch a breath. The last thing she heard was her heartbeat before a worse darkness covered her.
