I took a seat beside Envy and leaned back in the chair.
Trying to be myself has me lying to the woman I was in love with and the woman I'm pretending to be in love with and my family. What was wrong with me? Everything came out into the open anyway, well, except for Kimberly. She’s probably still oblivious.
Wrath stood and walked over to the large blood bowl and dipped a Chalice in before handing it to me. “A true bloody Mary,” he said. “The human’s name was Mary.”
Ignoring his corny joke, I drank it quickly.Lust, this has become far too complicated and for what? Absolutely everything that could've gone wrong didanyway.
“What’s wrong?” Pride asked me with suspicion.
“I fucked up bro, I told her I killed her father and now she wont speak to me.”
Pride laughed out loud. “I really don’t care right now, Lust. You’ve made some stupid decisions and now you have to pay for them. What I want to know is what your human said about our sister, Greed.”
I was pissed and confused, but I couldn’t shake off the need to continue to protect her. “She is going to the council and will have her released without any incident. She asked me for a couple of days and she will be home with us.”
“I wouldn't mind going right now and killing everyone and releasing her. It pisses me off thinking about our sister being in a cage like some type of animal,” Wrath growled.
“I agree with little brother, and I know exactly which human I want to kill first,” Envy laughed.
I glared at her. It didn’t matter if the threat came from my own family. My instincts to stake my claim and tell them all to fuck off was strong.
“That woman that has our brother wrapped around her finger. Once she’s dead, we will have our normal brother back. When was the last time you saw or heard him fucking a familiar? He is so obsessed with her that he has completely changed who he is. He needs to be freed from her spell.”
Who was she to think to know whoIreally was? None of them knew who I really was.
“You won't touch her,” I growled.
Pride chose that exact moment to step in.
“Enough, all of you!” he boomed. “I'm the leader of our family, and what I say goes. We will let Lust’s girlfriend get her released. If not, Wrath, you and Envy will get your way.”
I only hoped Chastity was able to convince the humans to release our sister for her own sake.

Chastity
I laid on the floor and it took everything I had to breathe. They really fucked me up good. I was hoping Lust and his family would get here and exact revenge on them all. These were not the people they were when my father was alive, not at all. They all cheered as I was beaten and they enjoyed seeing me bleed.
When they all bled on the same floor, I prayed I was alive to see it. But with every passing moment I felt weaker. I was dying.
“Greed, I know you hate me, but if I die before Lust rescues you, please tell him I did love him,” I croaked out. Tears filled my eyes and pooled on the floor beneath my face. “As dumb as this may sound to you, he actually made me feel alive. At this point, I’m willing to change for him, but now it’s too late to make any sort of life decision.”
I laughed at the stupidity of everything that had happened since meeting him. Life had taken me down a strange path. “I know in his twisted mind, killing my father was a good idea so he could get close to me. But I just wish I could see him one last time before the end.”
My body was shivering, I felt so cold as my eyelids got heavier.
“Listen to me human, I don't do the whole love thing but I can save you. Lust may kill me but he will just have to get over it. I can turn you into one of us. Or you can die a human. Our cells are close enough,” Greed offered.
Was it really that simple? I could barely move to her side of the cell.
“How long…will it take before it starts?” I asked, my body trembling as I started slowly and painfully dragging my body towards her side.
“Only hours but the moment I bite you, there is no going back. Keep crawling and once you are close enough, put your hand through the cell and I will turn you.” I had never heard her voice this calm around me.
I used every ounce of strength I had left pulling myself. Every movement felt like agonizing hours. My body felt as though it would give out at any second. After what was probably twenty minutes, I had reached her cell. I weakly stuck my right hand into her cell as she instructed. Greed quickly grabbed it and sank her teeth into my skin, pulling against the blood.
This was probably a trick. Greed must have been starving and I just fell right into her trap.
