   Chapter 1: Untitled
A girl fell roughly to her knees, her limp body shook as her crys came in quick sobs. She bent over, holding her head in shaking hands. Long ebony black hair fell over her face. Her slender figure was scattered with various cuts and slashes, completely unattended to.
The girl had once had a name, known only by the one she loved. But now she would be known as the single emotion that coursed through her body.Malice.
Soon her tears ceased to flow. Lifting her head, she wiped the tears from her pale face. A venomous expression spread across it. Malice snatched the dagger from its sheath, putting the tip of the blade to the bare flesh of her arm. She prssed down, crimson red blood welled from puncture. Moving the blade along her skin, she formed the name "Greed".
The blood seeping from the gouges matched the color of Malice's eyes. Her cold cruel eyes had not always been so, they had shown love and compassion once. But such feelings were gone now. She stared down at her crude work. Greed. He was gone now, and she blamed herself.
At the time of Greed's death, Malice had been fighting off the other himunculus. She almost died with the other chimera, but she had feld when they died. After reaching the mansion she found the cirle.The transmutatiom circle that would rid a himunculi of all the stones in its stomach, the red stones that gave it life. Such an act would not instantly kill them, but severly weaken their body. Malice didn't believe an alchemist so young could had made such an array.
On the other side of the room lay a pile of bones, arranged on a table. Malice could only guess the bones were the remains of the person Greed had been the himunculi of. When in the pressence of such remains a humunculi would feel an aching pressure in they're chest. Malice could play out Greed's death in her head, it had been an unfair fight. She winced, forcing the thoughts from her mind.
Malice had found the person responsible for Greed's death. Edward Elric, a name she wouldn't soon forget. A mere child, she tried to kill the boy, but grief had overcome her. The boy had ran, seeing that Malice was dangerous. But now she scolded herself for letting the brat get away. Malice looked around the inside of the mansion. The mansion had been owned by the woman that had created Greed, Dante. If she wasn't mistaken the same old woman was dead in the corner of the room. Malice doubted that Greed was to blame.
She stood, the blood from her arm dripping to the ground. The black tank top she wore completely left her arms bare. On the right arm was a black tattoo that reached from her shoulder to her fingers. The tattoo looked tribal, a wicked set of markings and arches. As they reached the hand the markings spread out to trace along each of Malice's fingers.Her left arm was bare except for the cuts on the underside .
Malice had been a state alchemist, a god of the military. Until she was taken to laboratory 5 with some of her fellow soldiers. There they had been fused with animals, some only got the blood others could take the form of the animals. Once servents of the military, now freak experiments. They'd been made into chimeras, Malice had wolf blood in her. She had gained the speed, agility, and stealth of a wolf, a completed experiment.
But Greed, he had freed them. Offering safety to those who would swear loyalty to him. Malice had taken to him immediately. She would had done anything for him and he soon felt the same way about her. But now he was gone and revenge would be sought.
Malice stood, stumbling from weakness. Pain struck, until now her body had been numb. The other himunculi, Lust and Gluttony, had badly wounded her. They had killed the other two chimeras that had stayed behind with her. She grasped her stomach, trying to stop the blood from a particularly nasty wound. A normal human would be dead, but a chimera could stand the pain.
She limped foward, eager to leave the site of Greed's death. The first priority was to recover from the battle. Where such an act would occur, she didn't know.
