Twin Homunculus And The Gate

In the part of this universe that we know, there is great injustice, and often the good suffer, and the wicked prosper, and one hardly knows which of these is the more annoying.’

-Bertrand Russell

The new Envy sat onto of a near by building in the city watching as their target went about her job. He was a young boy with short dark hair and green eyes. He was handsome for not being human. A small grin crossed his face. Everything was going as planed the only set back was a attack on the city by some crazy women from the other side of the gate but it worked to their advantage the millirty was spend thin. He jumped down with easy and followed her through the small back alleyway towards her home. He had been tracing their target for some time and tho he know her personal she didn't know he was hunting her. She didn't even turn around as she walked down a dark ally. The sun was setting over the building covering the city and a dark dusk.  Now was his chance. As the boy got closer reaching for her shoulder to grab her she suddenly turned around grabbing his arm and a small thin sheet of ice covered his arm. He smiled at her "Hello Faye." Her eyes got wide she didn't even notice the shine of a blade or the splash of red till it was to late. She looked down seeing the blade through her chest she coughed blood it dripped down the corner of her mouth. "A...Angel...b..Brother...." Then darkness was the only thing left.

"Ah Lust has woken up."

Faye moaned opening her eyes she tried to sit up but found her arms and legs where tied down to the table she struggled againt the restrains but were unable to break them. Someone had changed her out of her millirty uniform and changed her into a simple black Sleeveless black sundress. Her hair had been put down and laid all around her now. She looked up into the eyes of her twin brother.

"An...Angel I...I thought you were dead...." She tried to reach for him tho her hands were tied down.

He huffed at her turning his back at her. "Angel died a long time ago Lust its just Envy now."

Faye looked at him confused. "Wh..who's lust whats going on?!"

He turned to her now he went to her pulling her hair roughly. "That mark on the back of your neck.  The one we could never figure out what it means. Its the symbol of a Homunculus. Your just like us."

Faye's eyes grow at that. She had heard of a Homunculus in her studies. A doll with souls of someone else. She had even heard story's of a state Alchemist name Edward Elric who had stumbled onto a plot that some Homunculus were planning to use the an Philosopher stone to make them self human but that was just a rumor. She looked at him in disbelief but that caused him to huff again.

"I'm surprised you haven't figured it out yet dear sister. The fact that after all the close calls you've had and near death you came out without a scratch."

She looked around the room there were several others in the room that she didn't notice before three young men and a young women all dressed in black. Envy seemed to notice that she was looking around and walked over to the others. "This is Wrath." He pointed to a young man about their age with short  brown spike hair and blue eyes. (1)

He pat the boy on the shoulder and went over to a women older them them with waist long blond hair that flowed down her back and bush eyebrows. (2) "And sloth" he nodded over to a larger man with curly sliver hair.

She looked at her brother. "But...but I heard that Homunculus couldn't use alchemy...but we ca

Now it was Sloths turn to speak stepping away from the wall. "Thats because you were made special. "Like the Wrath before made with the Leg and arm of a Alchemist you were made from parts of a state Alchemist.."

She suddenly thought back at the old man and how she looked like his daughter in law. "Lilly..." Sloth looked almost surprised. "Yes Lilly Dole was her name she was dieing from a war and we used her parts along with parts of sick and dieing children to make you and your brother."

She was almost sick hearing that, that they used children to make them. Angel walked away a moment returning with a small bowl. "Now I want to be human and your the key to do that..you see unlike the Homunculus before us we were made special..we were made with the stone already inside us."

Faye looked shocked at that. "I..Inside us...." He smiled at her touching her chest lightly over her heart. "Yes we have bits of the stone inside our hearts. We grow older like a human even bleed like a human and as we grow so does the stone." he dipped his finger into the red liquid, it had a weird smell to her and it took her a moment to figure out what it was. It was blood. Her eyes got wide seeing it. He grinned as she struggled slightly but it didn't stop him from drawling the symbols he needed on her forehead, on her chest and both her arms. "You should feel honored sister your going ahead first..your going to get to see the other side of the gate and if you come back then we'll go next."

She was breathing heavy looking at him. "G..Gate let me go brother...you cant do this.."

His grin disappeared. "I can and I am goodbye sister..If you run into the Elric brothers tell them hello for me." he touched her arm and the room started glowing she could see the large symbols on the tellings and walls and she felt warmth, Everything seemed to melt away and she found herself standing in front of a large dark but beautiful gate. She gasped looking around. There was nothing but a white glow around her. She looked at he gate swallowing hard as the gate opened and she was looking into blackness. Then a black almost like a arm came out and wrapped around her waist pulling her in. She saw the gate close behind her as she's pulled in.
