Slaves To Substance

Protect tony, was my first thought. I couldn't let him get hurt. Not at all. I couldn't let him die.

Envy stepped closer and I slowly stepped back, nudging tony back along with me.

"You thought you could easily slip away from me again huh Reira? Haha. You make me laugh sometimes." Envy sighed calmly with a chuckle as she shakes her head a little. I saw that flicker of madness in her icy blue eyes.

"How'd you find me.." I sputter out as I glanced at the machete that she now had casually placed on her shoulder. This was nothing new to me. Envy and I had incounters like this ever since day one. And I'm going to tell you this.

The fights I've been in with her were extremely far from your average fights. They were not pretty. I felt tony shaking a little behind me.

"Oh. It's easy to spot anything from a far when the hunt's amazing scientists enhance your eyes just a bit." Envy smirked as she pointed to her eye. I cringed a bit, imagining envy strapped to a chair as she smiled at the feeling of the needles being injected into her eyeballs. I gulped.

"Now..your friend here is welcome to come back to the lab with us. Maybe in pieces? Hehe. We always have fun playing with the ones who can't come back to life." She wickedly smiled. I frowned.

"not a chance. No one is coming back with you." I seethed.

Envy glared and tightened the grip on the handle of her knife, "fine. So be it then!" She shrieked and launched at me.

I quickly took action and pushed tony away and dodged the blade that was coming for my neck. Instead I earned a slice to my arm. I hissed in a breath as blood trickled down my arms slowly. Damn her.

Envy released a harsh growl and picked up the speed in her fast swings of her machete. I dodged each of the attempted hits from her. As I did I earned bloody deep cuts to my arms. Faster then a viper snapping at it's prey I punched envy in her nose. Hard. Blood covered my hard knuckles as her blood was left on the concrete along with mine. Envy grunted and wiped her bloody nose.

"You little bitch." She panted through clenched teeth. Before I knew it her foot struck across my face. I dropped to the ground in an instant. My face hurt like hell.

Envy gripped my ponytail and pulled me to my knees, holding the blade to my throat.

"You're always givin' me a hard time kid. I can't wait to just reach inside and rip out those spores." Envy growled coldly as she gripped my hair tighter and pressed the blade harder against my throat. I let out a small cry as she slowly dragged the blade against my neck, causing my skin to split and blood rush down my neck. A demented and pleasured smile crept across envy's face.

Fight back rei. fight back! , I thought to myself.

"N-no!" I croaked as blood sputtered out of from the corner of my mouth. I slowly brought my leg out and kicked envy right in the rib, hearing a loud snap. She fell back and dropped the machete.

I felt blood drop onto my collarbones as I panted and glared down at her. I then stomped on her wrist as I heard it snap. She screamed out an explicit. I then bent down and punched her in the neck. She passed out right on the spot.

I quickly stumbled up and turned to see tony staring in utter shock. I panted in an uneven manor and walked over to him.

"We need to get out of here. Now." I simply said as I grabbed his wrist and we began running out of the park.

"Your place?" Tony asked as he ran beside me and looked at my wounds with a panicked expression.

"It'd be better if we're at yours. She'd probably find us at mine. And I won't have that. I can't." I panted as we ran down the sidewalk hurriedly. We were far away from envy now.

Eventually, tony and I ended up in the slightly busy streets of San Diego. We needed to get to Newport Beach since that's where tony lived. Tony held on tight to my hand since I was panting and a bit woozy from the loss of blood that was still dripping out of my deep wounds. I ignored the concerned and frightened yet curious stares from others.

Incidentally, tony let out a loud whistle and a taxi stopped in front of us. He quickly opened the door and let me in first. I saw the cab driver look at me with very surprised expression. Tone slid in next to me and handed the man forty dollars.

"Newport beach. Drive." He quickly demanded and the taxi driver to no hesitations to pull off after one more glance at me.

"You've got explaining to do." Tony muttered to me with a frantic tone.
