The Roses Aflame

Wrynn's Power

ENVYS POV

After Envy was done applying the makeup to Wrynn's face the sky was starting to dim. The sounds of cars honking and people shouting. New York doesn't really have the nicest people.

Amusement bubbled up in Envy, her smile turning sly. Wrynn walked at her side, guiding her through the maze of streets and alleys until they came for a stop in front of a large building.

A doorman stood in front of two giant golden doors, a red carpet was stretched out under a large awning.

"You live HERE?!" Envy's voice rang with both surprise and confusion. 

Wrynn nodded eagerly, more than happy to show her new friend around her home. "Father works for a big company and gets a ton of money because of it. Since my mom also works it really does add up."

Envy could only nod as they make their way into the lobby area. A huge chandelier hung from the ceiling lighting up the lobby almost romantically. Roses hung from vases that were on the wall. White cushy chairs and a large TV also awaited them, with a fireplace that glowed with flames.

"Holy.... This place is just... wow." Envy felt the familiar pang of jealousy that she had gotten so accustomed to. By this point she had almost completely forgotten her job, replacing the thoughts with conversations that she and her new found friend shared.

"I know right! Wait until you see my home! It puts the lobby to shame!" Envy didn't know how such a thing was possible until they entered her pent house. It was HUGE!

A spiral staircase came down from the left side of the room while a balcony sat on the other side, facing the city and making Envy gasp at how high they were.

Wrynn sat down on one of the couches, propping her feet up on the coffee table before motioning for Envy to join her.

"So what do you think Delia?" Envy smiled noticing the anxiety in the girl's face.

"You know that I liked you even before I knew how rich you were right? Like I know we just met but I feel like I've known you forever, ya know?"

Wrynn's blue eyes widened slightly, tilting her head to the side she gave Envy a once over.

Did I say something wrong? Dang it! I must have over did it...

"No one has ever said that before. People are normally friends with me simply to get my money." Her flat voice brought Envy out of her thoughts.

"I mean if people only see your money then you must have not met any nice people in your life." Envy observed, leaning back on the couch.

Envy's sin normally forced her to feel the jealousy of others making it harder for her to concentrate on whatever was being said but for the first time she realized that those feelings were suppressed greatly. 

She could barely pick them out from under all of her other emotions. This is new... I mean I have met people who have suppressed emotions but never to this extent, it's almost as if she doesn't have it in her to feel that way... It probably has to do with the fact that she has had everything she's wanted since birth.

Envy watches as the young girl's eyes watered, tears streaming down her face. "I feel like I've known you forever to Delia..." Her voice was softer than before, more thoughtful, unlike the stronger emotions that she had emitted earlier.

Envy reached over and pulled the girl close to her, hugging tightly while feeling tingles run up her whole body. There was a reason that Envy never really liked to be touched, she was sensitive to touch. This had something to do with her past, back when she was human.

A door opened behind the two girls, making them turn around. A young girl stepped out, she was almost an exact replica of Wrynn except without the makeup.

"Sis? What's going on?"

The two girls look at each other, one of them with mascara running down her face, again, and the other looking between the two in fast movements before they both began to laugh.

Man, humans can be so confusing....
