Chapter Sixteen - Not scared of you

"Owww!" Al moaned as Winry poked around his arm. Mimi had burned his arm, not that badly, but it hurt. Winry was trying to put a bandage on it, but Al was making it difficult.

"Quit whining you baby!" Mimi slapped him on the back playfully, not really caring, since she was the winner of their match. Al childishly stuck his tongue out at Mimi, who did the same in the exact kidish manner. Meanwhile, Greed laughed at his opponent as they stood opposite each other in the arena.

“This is going to be too easy!” the sin of Avarice chuckled darkly. Jayme frowned. How could he judge her just by the cover of her book? She may look innocent and not dangerous at all, but being Jayme, she always had a trick up her sleeve…but in this case the trick was on her back.

“Let’s see what the new girl’s got!”

Jayme giggled and took her shirt off, leaving her in a vest. Greed started feeling lucky.

“What is she doing?!” Winry asked, looking up from tying the white cloth around Alphones’ arm. He on the other hand went as red as a tomato and had to looked away. 

“I believe she’s stripping” Envy chipped in, his lips curling into a sneer. Jayme threw her shirt to one side and unfolded her wings from underneath her purple vest. She was a Chimera, one of the only succeeded ones like Martel, who was half snake, or Erin. Jayme stretched her long white feathered wings out, until they were almost three times as long as Greed was tall. Everyone was dumbfounded; Winry so surprised she pulled on the bandage so hard it nearly cut the blood flow from Al’s arm. 

"YOWW!" Al jumped, slapping Winry away from his shoulder, catching a glimpse of Jayme's wings. He ended up staring, a bit like Erin did at her beloved sin.

Greed grinned and charged at Jayme, his indestructible armour covering his body as he got closer. Jayme smiled and shot up into the air before Greed could punch her in the nose. She came back down foot first, kicking her opponent in the face as he looked up. 

"TAKE THAT GREED!" She yelled. Greed hit the floor, grunting as the wind was knocked out of him when Jayme landed on his stomach. 

"She's amazing" Al said to himself, transfixed. Winry and Mimi exchanged glanced and winked at each other. 

"Aren't you going to hit me or something?" Jayme raised an eyebrow at the homunculus under her feet. 

"Nah. I like it down here" Greed put his hands behind his head and smirked. Jayme groaned and jumped off his gut, the kicked him again in the side. 

"Alright! Alright! You win!"

Pain suddenly shot through Jayme's foot. She yelped and started hopping on one leg. Greed's armour was definitely hard, and indestructible. 

"Jayme wins" Kimblee shouted at the two students. "Now get out of there before i TURN YOU INTO BOMBS!"

Jayme and Greed both hurried back as Kimblee began scouring the class for another pair. The lesson was almost over, there was just over 5 minutes left. 

"Dawn. You and your partner. Go" 

Envy groaned as loud as he could, to show just how unhappy he was. Dawn grinned.

"Scared to have your butt whooped?" she mocked, grabbing his ear and pulling the squealing homunculus out onto the arena. Envy struggled and kicked Dawn away from himself, standing back up and glaring at her with his lavender eyes. Dawn stared back just as hard. The two circled each other like wild dogs, waiting for the other to make a move first. Dawn flashed a toothy grin.

"Scared?" 

"Of you?" Envy chuckled. "Don't make me laugh"

Dawn hated being laughed at. She hated when people admitted they were not afraid of her. She was the most dangerous thing alive, and she could not understand how this gay lord was not cowering in fear in front of her. Aggravated by this very fact, Dawn was the first to respond. She lashed out, throwing a punch  at the other homunculus. Nimble as he was, Envy evaded the attack, but only just. Dawn wasn't a burly, chunky klutz like Brad. She was faster, more agile and definitely stronger. 

"Keep still you bastard!" Dawn growled through gritted teeth, swinging her fist again. She missed again, which pissed her off even more. As Envy dodged her punch, Dawn kneed him in the stomach. She cackled wickedly as her rival folded up and fell at her feet, grunting. 

"Scared yet?"  She taunted, standing over Envy. 

"Dawn wins. What a-" Kimblee started to announce the end of the match, but before he could finish his sentence Envy tripped Dawn up when her guard was down, making her fall on her back in front of him. He pounced onto her stomach, keeping her down. 

"Let me GO!" She yelled, squirming under his weight. "Get OFF me! Get off you SICKO!" 

"Surprise?" Mimi finished her teacher off. "Yes, it is"

The corners of Envy's mouth curled into a sneer. He pinned her down, holding her by the wrists to stop her from hitting him. He was actually surprised he was able to do this, Dawn naturally would've pushed him off by now, and kicked his jaw loose. But she couldn't be letting him do this to either. 

"What? Can't you get me off? You're Dawn remember?" he toyed with her. 

"YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Dawn screamed. She saw his body morph into a familiar shape. Her pupils shrank as she stared at...herself. Only it wasn't her, but Dawn in a different life time, a life before she was the monster, the homunculus everyone came to fear and cry before. Her whole body froze, her eyes were transfixed on Envy's new face, as if she were staring in a twisted fun-house mirror. All sound was drowned out apart from the other Dawn's voice.

"What's the matter?" It laughed in her face. "This is, after all, you" 

"N-no stop it. S-stop! Get away-NO!"

"Dawn!"

She could hear Kimblee's voice calling through to her, waking her from the distorted fantasy. Envy had already gotten off her belly and changed back to his preferred form. Dawn shot up off the ground and looked about her frantically, shaking the faint voices of the past out of her head. She buried her face in her palms to cover her stinging eyes, which burned of tears and memories that she'd deliberately tried to forget.
