I follow awkwardly Envy, quickly, in the dark corridors. I am very, but very embarrassed because of what he did earlier. Was that a sign of superiority toward us, humans, meaning a nothing like a kiss on the lips could make us feel weak, while he stayed calm? Was that to prove our feelings were weaknesses? I truly don't know. All I'm doing, actually, is trying to avoid the obstacles in the middle of the corridor or the walls I can't see in my blindness. It's hard, really. I don't feel my nose anymore, due to how much walls I hit. Then I stumble on a little box, curse it, wondering why they put it there, and sit on the floor, tired. I am tired of walls. Tired of boxes. Tired of blindness. Tired of the darkness around me. I sigh and feel a hand taking mine to put me on my feet.

-Come on Loneliness, we don't have time to waste.

-I'm not... Loneliness.... My name is Jane. I'm Ed and Al's sister... Not a homunculus...

-Raaah! Shut it up! You'll just be helping us!

-I don't... Want....

-You don't have the choice. Come on!

He pulls me very hardly and I wince because of the pain. I felt weaker since he captured and tortured me. It seems my regeneration capacities are weakened, I don't know why. Torture maybe? I sigh again and try to make myself heavier, so it would be harder for him to take me forcefully. I then remove my hand from his and clap it with the other before slamming them on the floor and create... Well I can't see, but it may hurt a lot, according to his shoutings. A second, two seconds. What do I do? I run? Where? It's complete darkness around me. I stay then? But he's going to bring me to his father! I attack again? But where is he now? I set up a shield? He'll break it! No matter what I do, I'm just in a weak position, not favorable to win a fight. I'm actually wondering... Why can't I use my eyes anymore? My ability to heal myself should have taken care of it! But no...

-Your eyes...

-Huh? What? I asked, surprised.

-You can't regenerate them for a moment.

-Why? I frowned.

-Because I put acid in them, so, until all is gone, you can't see anymore. Because is constantly burning your orbs.

-But...! That's not fair!

-I'm not an alchemist. "Equivalent exchange" doesn't exist for me.

-I perfectly know what will happen to you! You'll be death burnt by Mustang!! And he'll target your eyes!!

-I don't mind Loneliness! You said yourself you could change the future! So prove it!

I look down, rage taking over my mind. How can he talk like this to me?! I did nothing to hurt him, just told him he would be killed! And that little brat isn't even grateful! Oh brother... Come and save me please... I want to be with you again... And see dad too... And go on mother's grave... All but stay away from Envy, please!! If someone can hear my wishes...!!

-I know it's not pleasant to be with me.... he suddenly declared.

-No it's not! You look down on people, think you're the stronger, while in fact you just envy us, humans!!

-Yes I do!! Because you can have everything!! Family, lover, friends! And us?! What do we have?! Nothing! We're monsters!

-See?! If you try at least to be nicer, people wouldn't think bad about you!!

-But I was born like that!!

-So don't complain, you genderless androgynous palm tree!!!

-Hey, don't call me like that, you half-human, and half-homunculus!!

-I'm not a homunculus!! I'm a part of the stone of my dad-

I quickly cover my mouth, realizing what I just said.

-Stone? Father will be so much more interested! he grinned.

My eyes widen (or at least I think they do) and I look at him (no I better fix him with empty orbs), in fear, as he comes near from me (I feel him do that). I close my eyes (reflex, I can't help it) and wait for him to do something, but he just pokes my forehead with his finger before laughing. I open my eyes (yes, you'll see I act like a normal person, even if I'm blind.... Actually...), surprised, as he takes my hand in his again.

-Really, you were scared of me?!

-After you torture me, I think it's normal. You even stole my first kiss!!

-I don't mind! I'm not into this kind of things!

-Hmmph!!!

I pout. Yes I pout!! Like a little girl and all, but what? He pisses me off! He teases me, and that annoys me! And when he is not a tease, he tortures me! Explain me the logic please! (If there is one though...) I walk behind him, not complaining more, and we stay silent until we reach the exit. The sun, finally! And no, I still don't see it, but let me express my feelings!! Envy, oh so gently, hit me behind the head, making me collapse. The hell.... Why does he always make me faint?! And why do I always fall in the trap?! Shit...

//sorry, that's short and there isn't a lot of action in this supposed return.... Sorry sorry sorry!!! But first year of middle school is so hard T.T but I'll try to post more....
