Envy knew he had no right to even harm the boy. He knew I could never utter so much as a word to him, but I still fought for my freedom. I never knew Envy could be so cruel though, because with the powers he held he changed me.

This was the first time I had felt human in a long while. Envy had smiled and told me that much like a fairytale princess I had twenty-four hours to tell my price that I loved him, or I would be a homuncli forever more.

Time will only tell, love now had a time limit and I was happy he could see me as a princess at least for a little while. I spoke kind words to him but it was all in vain, because as the boy asked me to dance with him I returned to my form, a form of death.
