Chapter Twenty-one: The Group.

The fields of Incompertus. It was exactly as I thought it would be. Boring. Extremely boring and I guess that was the punishment of those who didn't do enough good to enter heaven. The fields of Incompertus was exactly like it's name. It was a vast friend of...the unknown. It was acres and acres long.

"Strange," Lust observed, "there is no one here."

"Maybe, they must be hiding since the deadline is soon," Envy answered.

Their wings formed again and we began our flight. When we flew in heaven, it was interesting because the place was marvellous; however, this place bored me out of my mind. I let out an audible sigh to get Wrath's attention.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"This is boring!" I whined.

"Gosh Maia! What do you want me to do?" He snapped.

"I don't know! Just do anything!" I yelled.

Suddenly, Wrath began to fly faster. Faster and faster ever second. I could barely opened my eyes but I could feel that we were going higher. Wrath flew in loops multiple times as I screamed. Adrenaline pumped through my veins. I began to laugh. Then I stopped. Gravity pulled me down and I was no longer in Wrath's protective hold. I opened my eyes forcefully to see the ground coming closer and closer. My screams of joy turned into screams of terror.

So this is the end?

I was centimetres away from the ground when I felt someone grab me and lift me away. I turned my head to see Wrath grinning like an idiot.

"I've got you Maia," he whispered, "I'll always be there for you."

Tears stung my eyes as he said that. I slapped him across his face and sobbed into his shoulder. He caressed my hair, apologising for what he did. Little did he know, I was crying because I finally felt love. Someone, besides Joshua, loved me. The love between Joshua and I was a pity love. I had no parents and he had no friends. Pity love. The love I felt for Wrath was a deeper love of friendship. We became friends the normal way, well...not really, but you know what I mean. Two people introduced to each other and gradually became closer.

"You're so stupid," I whispered.

"I know," he replied.

We were flying at a slower pace but we noticed a small group of people. Uneasiness fell in the group. We began to descend to meet the strange group. The group began to whisper and point as we came into view.

"Is that Lust? Oh my gosh he's so hot!"

"Damn, look at Wrath."

"Can y'all look at Pride? If I had his face I'd be proud too."

"I'm sorry but Sloth is so cute."

"Dang who's that girl with them?"

As soon as we landed, the people came rushing up to us. Audible gasps were heard as they took us in.

"Who are you guys?" Pride asked.

"Oh my gosh! Pride is talking to us! Pinch me!" A girl about my height squealed. She wore worn out clothes many sizes too big. Her blonde hair was let down but she had a grey beanie on to cover it up.

"We are the seven Unnecessary Inconveniences," a man, who had an unfortunate amount of stubble said.

"Who?" Wrath barked.

"Oh my gosh it's Wrath!" The same girl squeaked.

"Cut it out!" Wrath yelled, flamed growing in his eyes. She backed away and gluped.

"I'm not sure we know who you are," Lust formally said.

"Oh my gosh it's Lust," that girl whispered.

"I am Distraction. I am the counterpart of Lust and Chastity," said a man within the group. I understood why he would be paired with someone as gorgeous and Lust and Chastity. He stood at around six feet with his brown hair swooped back. His grey eyes unfocused and constantly shifting. His pale skin rivalled that of Sloth.

"I am Apathy, counterpart of Wrath and Patience," introduced a woman.

"I am Procrastination, counterpart of Sloth and Diligence," explained a man.

"I am Irritation, counterpart of Envy and Kindness," said a man.

"I am Depression, counterpart of Greed and Charity," spoke a woman.

"I am Anxiety, counterpart of Pride and Humility," informed a woman.

"I am Undecidedness, counterpart of Gluttony and Temperance," said a man.

"What are your runes?" Envy questioned.

"What are runes?" Anxiety asked.

"Tattoos?" Envy asked.

"I have a tattoo of a...I'd rather not say," Distraction informed.

"You don't have runes to harness your power? To keep it in check?" Wrath asked.

"Nope," depression sobbed.

"Maybe that's why the Earth is messed up! They cannot control their powers so it got unleashed on our planet!" I informed.

"Smart," Wrath hummed.

"What time is it?" Gluttony asked.

"Two hours till sun down," Apathy answered.

"Oh no! We need to leave! Right now!" Gluttony panicked, "we only have one day to reach!"

We bid our farewells and began our flight back to Hell. I began to anticipate the place itself as we were flying towards the place of doom.

Would it be exactly how it is portrayed in mythology?

I pondered deeply on this.

"A penny for your thoughts?" Wrath asked.

"Nothing special."

***

Tiredness settled in the group. We all wanted rest so we decided to take shelter in one of the houses we found on the way. The owner was influenced by Lust to give us his house for the night. The sins allowed me to sleep on the bed since I was a girl but I insisted against that. Well, here I am on the bed, while the rest sleep on the couch, chair and floor.

I drifted off to sleep.

I woke up, sweating. I looked around me to see darkness. The sound of heels clicking against the floor got my attention. I turned around to see Wrath standing there.

"Hello," he said, fear noticeable in his voice, "why are you here?"

"Wrath?" I called.

"Why have you come here?" He yelled.

"Wrath, what's wrong?" I pleaded. I took a step closer to him

"No! Don't come closer! Stay away from me, you monster!" He shouted.

"Monster? Wrath what are you talking about?"

"Golden-blood!" He cursed.

I saw a brightly light flash in front of me and I was falling once again in the bottomless black pit.

I jolted awake, looking at Wrath, soundly sleeping on the couch. I forced air into my lungs. It's just a dream, Maia. Why did my dreams feel so real?
