The Jealous One

Cells

Envy's POV:

First one in a while that I'm actually going to be able to toy with. Hah, frail humans. Always a source of entertainment. I wonder what I'll do to her... What will it take for her to do what I want? This is going to be fun. I can sense that already

~Time skip~

Shit, I really should go feed the pet. I made my way downstairs and saw her sleeping peacefully but something about this scene wasn't right... Her cuffs. She'd got out of her cuffs. Stupid alchemists and their stupid alchemy. How though? She couldn't clap her hands like the pipsqueak so... Hmm... I guess there is something special about her alchemy after all. Hmph.

"Wakey wakey, human" I don't like how peaceful she seems when she sleeps. I'm trying to be bad here!

"Wha- wher- where am I?" She looked around dazed. Did she seriously not remember a thing from last night? Ugh. Humans and their memory. Her eyes opened up wide as she realised where she was. Bingo, heh.

"Tired?" I couldn't help but laugh at her hair. It was everywhere. "Uh, do you need a brush for your hair by the way?" I couldn't hold it to a sly laugh. Once my laughing fit was over I looked over to see Rachel scowling at me.

"I'm trying the Envy look. I've always wondered what it would be like to look like a palm tree... heh..." Oh girl, that is not the way to act around an immortal who could break your neck in an instant. Then again, thats probably what she was hoping for. I guess I'd toy with her later.

I was greeted by Lust when I went to sit in the living room. 

"I can't be bothered with your toy anymore..." She was messing with her nails seeming like she didn't care but I could hear the frustation in her voice "I'm going to go after the Fullmetal Alchemist. She's not saying anything and we're wasting our time. You might not want to but I want to become human and I'll kill to get that." This is probably her daily bitch fit, she'll then walk out and be back again tomorrow. 

"Good luck then?"

"I don't need you to wish me good luck. I'll have him in no time" She laughed evily before walking out. I just went to sit back on the sofa.

Why was Lust so concerned about becoming human? There is nothing great about it. You're frail and you can die extremely easily. If she becomes human then that might be my chance to actually get rid of her. I'm sick of her trying to control me because she's got her blades as her special power. Doesn't she realise that I can do that too? I can make my body to whatever I wish. I am the strongest! I will be the last homunculus. I refuse to let Lust take this fate away from me. Doesn't she see that I'm happy? I like being evil. It's the thing I do. Heck, I've got nothing to do so I might as well try and get some information out of this stupid alchemist.

"Rachel." I tried to sound stern.

"What no-w?"

"Tell me about some things"

"Like what?" Was she going to talk so easily? Why had Lust given up...?

"Maybe about your alchemy?"

"No."

"Why?"

"I.. can't..."

"Of course you can. I'm not going to let Lust know. I like to keep information for myself."

"I don't know anything about it. My parents died before I could find out anything. I tried my hardest not to do the stupid thing and try bring them back. I knew that it wouldn't work. There hasn't ever been a successful human transmutation. Ever. I can't do that to myself. I have to keep moving forward. I have to be strong for them. If I knew what my alchemy was I still wouldn't tell you. You're a homunculus. You can't perform alchemy so why do you want to know? I can't do anything to change that I am powerless against you. I wouldn't even dream of fighting back. I'd die. I just..." Her eyes started to water and her tears almost spilled over until she blinked them away. "I'm strong though. I'm going to keep moving. Doing whatever I can. I just dont.. I just don't want to die." What could I possibly say back to that? She was clearly of no use but I should keep her around a little longer just to make sure. I'll try tell her about me so that she feels like she can open up to me and tell me the secrets to her alchemy.

"My father... He divorced my mother and he left. He said he was going to come back but he never did. I waited, waited and waited. I didn't know what to do. Then one day I fell sick. They said I had mercury poisoning. I eventually died at the age of 18. Now I am forever trapped in this body. Well not really that extreme. I still remember how he looked when he left. I would love to kill him. He left my mother and then my mother made a stupid, stupid mistake. She performed human transmutation on me. Now I am a homunculus. That's the secret behind human transmutation. It brings people back as homunculi. Me and Lust are the last of our kind. Everyone else perished in the hands of alchemists and Lust has.. sort have had a vengeance against alchemists ever since." She seemed to be shaking. Was I too revealing? She took her time processing it before she turned back to me.

After what seemed like eternity, she finally thought of something to say.

"I'm sorry" Why was she being sorry? This was ridiculous.

"Don't be. I'm glad to have your company. Even if it is against your will. It sort of makes this place a little less lonely. I know I have Lust but she can be a real pain."

"Why did you tell me so much?"

"I don't know. I couldn't stop myself after I started. It just seemed to flow naturally. I guess I just needed someone to talk to after so long."

"Oh..."

"Thank you for listening" I tried to muster a warm smile before leaving the room. I really shouldn't have told her so much. Now that she knows my story she's never going to tell me hers.

A/N: If this sucks then don't blame me. I only like wrote it all...
