It was cold in there. The metal bars burned it was so cold. The only warmth I felt was the warmth of those scientist's hands. Damn I hated those scienist. I also hated hearing the sad cries of dogs there. The poor things allways died befor the humans. One day I saw a man get brought onto the table. He was scared but it wasn't like he had any choice. He was hurt during the war so he couldn't move much. All of us were wounded. Most of us were half way dead.

I, myself couldn't see barely. A Ishbalian slashed my eye with a sword. The pain pops up every now and then but I've grown use to it. Just like I grew used to my new life. But then I didn't think I would have a life. After the dragged the man to the table.They came back to me. The sight of the scientist terrorfied me. I was only 15 then and I had no real experiece in fighting.

I should have listened to the men that told me not to go to war. "Your too young." "you'll get killed." I knew all of this and yet I didn't care.

In fact, it was what I wanted. I wanted to die. When I was but a child, my father had killed my mother and nearly killed myself. The b*****d took everything away from me. But that night he wanted us all to go to The Gate together. He thought I was dead. How I wanted death's embrace. I could feel it that awful night. but he didn't know I was still breathing. Before he could finish me, he shot himself. The military came and brought me to a foster home.

But as nice as the families were, I still wanted to die. I fought in that war even though I wasn't a dog of the Military.

When they threw me onto the table, I thought it would be the end of the cold. I hate the damn cold. I remember that day vividly. I remember looking over to Dorochet. He was a stranger then but I felt a small bond between us form. In fact when the expeirament took place we held hands and screamed in pain together.

More cold came then. There was never any warmth in this small container I was forced to stay in. I had tried to run away but they allways caught me. Even though I was then a chimera I didn't feel much warmth at all. My new dog ears hightened my sense of hearing and my tail gave me comfort. I didn't realize it untill a little later that my scar had healed.

Mr.Tucker would stare at my cage occasionally. I hated him beyond reason. His low whisper would allways burn my ears. He started giving me decent clothes to wear. Along with my friends Dorochet, Law ,and Martel. We were higher up then the other chimera. I would get along very nicely with them but Mr. Tucker.....I wanted to rip his throat out everytime i saw him. He carried his daughter around. But she really never seemed alive to me. She was like a doll. She reminded me of myself. Her eyes told me a story of a child that was once happy and now is forced to live under a sick demented freak.

Dorochet soon became my brother. We were both fused with dogs so it was only natural. Martel would tell me stories of how she joined the military. Law would talk about a man named Major Armstrong. How he was strong and how he would have killed to have a arm wrestle with him.

Even though I make it sound good....it wasn't. We all hated it there. We wanted to be back in our own bodies. We wanted someone to save us from this dark captivity. But no one came.

For a year we stayed there. Waiting, Hopeing, Praying....well...at least I was. ...To this day I was never really sure of what I was praying to. But whatever I prayed to, they answered them.

To this day I can't really say if I earned an angel or a devil, but whatever he was, he came and saved us.

"Well, you guys look fun. What do you say you all join me?" he annouced to all of us. We were all dumb strucked by the sight of the man.

Greed was his name. He announced that as we all ran away from that awfull place. Greed may have been greedy but he rescued us and offered us freedom. We all agreed to help him. To repay him.

He brought us to a bar. The Devil's Nest. We all liked it there. It was our little home. Unfortunately, everyone could go outside but me. I would "make a scene". thats what Martel said anyways. I could understand though. My ears and tail did stick out really bad. Everyone else was lucky enough to have complate human forms.

Greed didn't like it though. He wanted all his men to face the sunlight with him. To him there was no reason I needed to linger in the darkness alone. Even though we DID live in the darkness, we had to avoid the military in order to not go back to that evil lab. Anything was better then the cold of the lab.

He came back from the world beyond the walls I was forced to stay in. He held out a box to me with his greedy little smile.
"Take it. Its allright to be greedy once in a while." He joked. He was allways greedy. Hince his name. I was quite envious of him though. If he wanted the world, he probably could. But what he wanted was immortality. That was something I really couldn't understand why he wanted. To me, nothing could kill him. He was the Ultimate Shield.

I took the box from him to find fuzzy earmuffs. I didn't understand what they were for untill he explained it to me. I was overcome with joy. They were going to be used to cover my ears while I walked with the humans. That was the day he let me know I was the favorite out of the rest. I enjoyed knowing that. for once in my life....I felt warm.

But the feelings I felt for him were useless. He indeed was greedy. He would allways have a new woman in the den. I envied them. I would watch them all laugh and drink together. But in my heart there was no use for me to feel the way I did for that homuculus. He was out for the world and nothing else.

But I will never forget that day.

I was sitting on the roof of the bar. My earmuffs in place and my tail wrapped around my waist.

"What are you doing up here alone?"

I jumped hearing his voice. It was Greed. It was a little tough for me to look at him but my heart could manage. Living a life like mine and dealing with this was nothing.

"It's good to see those earmuffs come in handy." He sat next to me and stared off into the sunset.

"I hate envy." he adjusted his sunglasses with his middle finger.
I didn't say anything. I hated the fact I was being read like a book.

"You honestly have nothing to envy."

He was teasing me. I hated it. He was flaunting himself infront of me. I balled my hand into a fist and stood up. I was about to go away from him but he grabbed my hand and forced me back down next to him.
"I'm not done with you."
I didn't care. I struggled to break his grip even though I knew it was useless. I felt his grip tighten.

"Do you honestly think you can beat me?"

I shook my head.

"I didn't think so." he let me go then started to rub my head. I hated and loved it when he did that. I was pissed at the fact he wouldn't leave me alone but then I was happy he kept me there. I allways enjoyed having my head rubbed, expecially behind my ears.

"Lena.I didn't lie when I said you were my favorite."

"I don't want to hear it, Greed."

His sharp toothed smile always apeared but this time it didn't. "Have you ever heard leaving the best for last?"

I looked at him in shock. I didn't believe what he was saying. I just simply couldn't believe it. I tried to make a run for it again. But he grabbed my leg and pinned me to the ground.

"Leave me alone! If your going to do this then kill me! Give me what I allways wanted! Send me to the Gate! DO IT!" I cried, i couldn't hold back my emotions no longer.

"You know I'm too greedy to do that."

"Damn it! I hate you,Greed!!...I hate you....I hate living....kill me...please....."

I felt his lips then. His rough greedy lips. A fire surged through my body. It was unlike anything I felt. I lavished in it. It was as if the cold vanished. Like it never existed. But as fast as it came, it left. I stared in dumbstrucked and red then.

All he did was smile at me. His glasses had fallen off so his purple eyes peirced into my sky blue.

"I'll give you a reason to live, Lena. I'm too greedy to let you go."

That was a day I would never forget. Even though he still flirted with other girls he would allways flash me a wink or two. It was a life-style that would never change. But in some way. . . I loved it. I never wanted these days to end. Hopefully they never will.

Dorochet, Law, Martel, and Greed.....They were my family. They all gave me a reason to live. I love them all. They have all rubbed off on me especially Greed. I usualy got what I wanted. I still do.

My life could not be better.I have a perpose now. To serve him and help him achieve his dream. I hope it stays like this forever.....and ever......

ever.......
