Roy's POV:
No. Not again. I finally got my family together and they have to come and ruin it.
"Jeez, Envy, you're so stupid!"
"At least I'm not fat like you, Gluttony, or ugly like Sloth."
"What about me Envy?" Says a voice sarcastically.
"Shut up Lust. Everyone knows that you have anger issues. Not as bad as Wrath, though. Ever since we've gotten our new bodies, he's been real moody."
"No shit, his new body is almost as ugly as yours, Envy." Says a suave voice.
"Shut up Greed! Everyone knows that you don't care about anything!" Envy yells.
"Oh, but I do, as long as it benefits moi."
They keep on blabbering, their disgusting voices getting louder. They're coming this way.
"Boys, focus on the mission. We need to find the Chosen One. I heard that she just came back to Central."
Riza gasps. It couldn't be her.
"What's her name again? Eliza-something?"
"Elizabeth Hawkeye."
We all silently gasp, and Riza's eyes go wide with fear.
"How do we know that she's here?" Asks Gluttony.
"Because the Flame Colonel is here. Why else would she leave for a year and then suddenly come back?" Says Lust.
"What room did the lady say he was in?" Asks Greed.
"302."
Oh crap. What are they going to do with Riza?
"Here it is."
No. They will not take Riza from me. I hug her and Kallie close.
"Huh? They aren't here?" Says Envy.
"You dumbass, they're hiding. What would you do if the lights suddenly went out and you ears strange voices from down the hall?" Asks Greed.
"I knew that! Mr. Flame Colonel, Sir? Come out, come out, wherever you are!"
Dammit. They will never have Riza or Kallie.
I reach up to the bedside table. In the drawer are my ignition gloves. I pull the drawer open quietly and pull them out. I slip the on and stand up.
"Here I am."
Riza looks at me like I'm crazy.
A solitary tear runs down my cheek.
This is for you, Riza.
Take care of Kallie.
Riza's POV:
"Jeez, Envy, you're so stupid!"
They keep on arguing. I can't believe that the homunculi are back.
"At least I'm not fat like you, Gluttony, or ugly like Sloth."
"What about me Envy?" Says a voice sarcastically.
"Shut up Lust. Everyone knows that you have anger issues. Not as bad as Wrath, though. Ever since we've gotten our new bodies, he's been real moody."
"No shit, his new body is almost as ugly as yours, Envy." Says a suave voice.
"Shut up Greed! Everyone knows that you don't care about anything!" Envy yells.
"Oh, but I do, as long as it benefits moi."
Their voices get louder and louder.
They're coming.
"Boys, focus on the mission. We need to find the Chosen One. I heard that she just came back to Central."
I gasp. Me and Kallie just came to Central.
"What's her name again? Eliza-something?"
"Elizabeth Hawkeye."
I gasp. I'm no chosen one! I can barely keep myself together.
"How do we know that she's here?" Asks Gluttony.
"Because the Flame Colonel is here. Why else would she leave for a year and then suddenly come back?" Says Lust.
"What room did the lady say he was in?" Asks Greed.
"302."
Oh no.
"Here it is."
Roy pulls me closer.
"Huh? They aren't here?" Says Envy.
"You dumbass, they're hiding. What would you do if the lights suddenly went out and you ears strange voices from down the hall?" Asks Greed.
"I knew that! Mr. Flame Colonel, Sir? Come out, come out, wherever you are!"
He reaches up to the bedside table. He opens it and pulls out his gloves.
He's so smart.
Then he looks at me and smiles.
Then he stands up.
"Here I am."
I look at him like he's crazy.
Then I realize what he's doing. He's sacrificing himself for me and Kallie.
Why now, Roy?
We were finally happy...
