I follow Lucifer down the hallway. His deep voice warms me though it catches me off guard. "So what real reason did Kasedeya want to come here." 

He looks back and slows down to let me catch up while he awaits my answer. "Word got around that I met you, of course, she wanted to meet you as well, she doesn't like to be left out," I add, it wasn't a complete lie, she did want to meet him, and she hated to feel left out. Lucifer nods, seeming pleased with my answer though I feel guilty for lying. 

"I don't want her coming back," Lucifer states as he looks at me. "You'll see that she doesn't," I laugh at Lucifer's words. Who did he think I was, her boss?

"Lucifer, I'm not in control of her; if I tell her not to, she will run down here the second she can," I explain, and Lucifer frowns at my words as he considers them. 

Lucifer opens his mouth to talk, but an angry voice interrupts him making him glare at the person. "Lucifer! I'm starving, where is the food?"

"Shut up, Gluttony that is not the problem here, Lucifer why the hell did you postpone the meeting, what is so important to postpone, I have things to do on earth you know!" My eyes widen at the person. He stood tall and muscular, dark red skin with pitch-black eyes; He had four horns on his bald head and hoofs for feet.  His bushy eyebrows made the glare towards Lucifer even more fierce. The guy behind him was round and mud brown, honey brown eyes, and a big nose. His lips were thin, but he had sharp pointy teeth sticking out. Drool ran continuously from his mouth down his large throat. 

"Watch. Your. Tone Wrath," Lucifer's voice roars like thunder, and my eyes widen at the tone; Lucifer was king of hell for a reason. 

"Is this a plaything? If so, can I join?" I jump as someone comes from behind me, grabbing my waist. 

"Lust," Lucifer warns, and I move out of her grasp closer to Lucifer. Feeling violated as I throw her a harsh glare.

"Don't touch me," I grind out as I look at her. Pink eyes stare into mine as a smirk places itself on her full red lips. Her skin is pale like mine until you get to her hips; it then turns to scales, and instead of legs, she has the body of a snake. Her long red hair falls in perfect curls. Her long lashes bat flirtingly at me.

"I don't see why you would have chosen her as a plaything anyway," Another girl steps up beside Lust as she looks at me in mock disgust, but deep down you can see jealousy. Her green skin makes her wide yellow eyes stick out as they take in everything about me. Her ears were long and pointy, going past her head. Her head is bald, and she doesn't have eyebrows making her eyes look even more extensive. Her body is lean, and instead of hands, it seems more like paws, her feet were also paws, and she has a long green tail that twitches with every move she makes. 

Lust licks her lips with a long snake-like tongue as she stares at me, making me take another step to Lucifer. Though I don't realize how close I already am since I bump into him, I turn to apologize, but he isn't looking at me. He is glaring harshly at Lust and who I assume is Envy. I feel his hand go to my mid-back lightly comforting me. 

"I should punish you all for questioning my decisions, where is Pride?" Lucifer growls out as he looks at Lust. 

"Trying to find Sloth, he fell asleep somewhere," Every word from Lust's mouth is seductive as she doesn't let her eyes leave me. I fidget increasingly growing uncomfortable; I couldn't fathom how Lucifer held his ground around them just the way the sins looked at me made my skin crawl. The way their eyes pierce your skin, it sent goosebumps all over. I felt like I was about to be tortured by demons all over again. It almost made me question reality. Is this real, or am I still in hell? 

Suddenly I feel a peaceful wave go through me from where Lucifer is touching my back. Letting me know this is real, and I am not in hell.

"What about Greed?" Lucifer booms, his voice sharply cutting at the sins as I see them wince, even Wrath does so. Lucifer's patience was wearing thin, and the deadly sins could sense it.

"Probably bathing in money and jewels." Lust shrugs as her eyes finally leave mine and go to Lucifer. 

Lucifer grabs the bridge of his nose as his eyes shut tightly, he blows out roughly from his nose before opening them again. He looks at me, "I'm sorry, I would let you leave, but they know you're here, I have to find the others before you can go, or they will follow you," Lucifer grumbles as he looks at a giggling Lust. 

"I'd be the first to follow you home," Lust states as she winks at me. My eyes widen at her words, knowing she does not mean it in a comforting way.

Lucifer rolls his eyes at Lust. "All of you, let's go. If you leave, I will punish you." The sins nod in unison before their eyes fall back on me. 

Lucifer keeps me close as we walk down one of the halls. "Master, Greed is here," I almost sigh in relief at the familiar hooded demon as he approaches. He points to a hallway door, and Lucifer quickly walks in, making sure I am right beside him, out of reach of the sins. 

"Give me, Give me Give me." Greed sings as she pours jewels all over her body, made of Diamond. She sits in a bathtub with buckets of jewels and money. When her eyes met mine, she smiles, showing bright gold teeth made from gold. Her eyes shine like green emerald gems, and she slowly stands from the tub. "Bow down before me, worship me!" 

"She isn't human, Greed." Lucifer grinds out, and I can tell just how over all of it he is. 

Greed pouts as she removes herself from the tub. " I miss the humans, they worship me like a God with their love for gold and money," She spins dreamingly before looking back at Lucifer and pouting again. "When can we go back to earth," She whines. 

"Soon, now help me find Pride and sloth," Lucifer commands, and Greed scoffs as she crosses her arms.

Lucifer doesn't wait for her as he turns and pulls me with him. I scold myself for cowering to the devil for safety, but the sins brought back painful memories from hell, memories I don't think I would ever recover from completely. I don't pay attention as he leads us down the hall; he seems to know where he is going, my ears suddenly tune into the voices of the sins behind me. 

"I don't like her." 

"Well, I want her," I cringe at Lust's seductive voice, not wanting to know what she wanted to do with me.

"I wonder if she got food?"

"Shut up sloth that is the bitch that is probably the reason the meeting was postponed; I want to rip her insides out and force her to eat them."

"You fool, don't you smell her? She is oozing with power, I want all of it," My eyebrows pull together at Greed's confusing words, what did she mean by that? I'm just a reaper; I'm not that powerful. 

I don't pay attention to where we are going until it is too late. 

"Lucifer!"

"LUCIFER I BEG YOU!"

"Please help me!"

I snap my head up as my blood runs cold. The crying souls fill my ears, and instantly my body starts to shake. 

"Lucifer." I dark-skinned woman purs as she sees us. Her hair is dark and falls in tight ringlets, and her posture shows how confident she is if that wasn't enough, her silver eyes never looked down. She points to a sleeping blob on the floor. The man is blue and sluggish as he looks around in a daze. His eyes are faded gray, making him look lifeless. Chapped lips smack as he studies me. "Sloth snuck off, he likes sleeping to the sound of screams," She shrugs as Lucifer glares at her.

"Pride, I need you to watch the Sins. I have a guest." Lucifer states, and Pride finally looks to me; her silver eyes judge me instantly as she looks down on me. I want to go home even more so. My heart feels like it is about to beat out of my chest; my face feels numb. I think I could pass out at any moment. I breathe in deeply and close my eyes to try and block out the screams, but they seem only to get louder.

My mouth becomes dry, and I raise my hands to my ears as if I could block out the million souls screaming in agony. My eyes open, and I see a smirking Pride as tears blur my vision. I look to Lucifer, who seems to be glaring at Pride before he looks to me; his face quickly changes to concern.

His mouth moves, but I can't process the words, only the screams around us. 

"I-I can't I have to get out," I stumble as I anxiously look around. I see the other sins smirking at me as well. Knowing the would grab me if I tried to move past them, the overwhelming sense of being stuck causes my eyes to roll back and my knees to give out as everything goes black.

My eyes flutter open, the dark grey wall is what I see first, a closed-door is next, and a bookshelf filled with books beside the door. I then realize I'm lying on something soft; a black comforter is underneath me. I slowly sit up and take in the large bedroom. The bed is probably a king-size with a black comforter, and pure white sheets stick out from underneath it. The walls are bare, but the room is obviously lived in. A chair dark grey chair sits beside the bookshelf towards the corner of the room. A fireplace is on the other side of the room with anther accent chair across it and a bookcase on the wall beside it. If this is Lucifer's room, which something tells me it is, he loves books. I stand from the bed and quickly move to the door across from the bed and open it. The familiar hallway greets me. 

"You are awake. I will let the master know," I jump and look to my left and see the demon in the hood that usually greets me. At this point, he no longer makes me uneasy. "Stay in masters room," The demon instructs as he turns and floats down the hallway. 

Instead of following instructions, I go the opposite way, needing to get out of here. I couldn't deal with the seven deadly sins another minute. I needed to go home. 

I sigh in frustration as I turn down another hallway; this place is a maze. Hallways randomly connect to other halls, and they all look the same. Obviously, to torture and confuse any unwanted guests. Something hot grabs my arm before I can scream a hand covers my mouth as it pulls me down a different hallway. 

"I got you now," My eyes widen as I scream against the burning hand as Wrath laughs cynically. 

I try to elbow at Wrath, but he laughs at my attempts as he runs down the hall while carrying me. I then let black smoke causing him to curse. The smoke bites at him, causing him to drop me. I quickly stand and run, not knowing where I'm going. 

Something hot hits the center of my back, causing me to fall. 

"I've got powers too, bitch," I wince as He lifts me by my hair. He starts to drag me to a door. He pulls me up as I struggle in his grasp as he opens the door revealing a set of stairs going down. He then takes me and pushes me, making me fall backward. A breathless scream leaves my lips as I tumble down the staircase. 

I hit bottom hard, and the breath knocks out of me, and for a moment, it paralyzes me. 

Wrath chuckles as he grabs me by my arms and drags me as I try to breathe. Suddenly souls screaming reach my ears, and I start to struggle. 

"Oh, don't be like that, you seemed to like this place last time if I recall," He menacingly chuckles as he brings me to a door. Tears stream down my face as I desperately try to claw my way out of his grasp, leaving claw marks up and down his arms. 

"No, please don't," I beg, finally finding my voice as he throws me into the concrete room and shuts the door. I land on the floor but quickly get to my feet as I rush to the now-closed door that lacks a handle. I push and bang on the door as my body starts to sweat, and the adrenaline in my body forces me to beat harder, knowing what is to come. 

"Let me out, please let me out!" I desperately scream as I bang on the door. 

"Of course you want to leave me, that's what you always did, lead me on just to leave," I freeze at the sound of his voice. "I probably would have had a better life, but you had to get me killed, didn't you?" 

Bain stands before me as he looks down at me in disappointment. I whimper as tears stream down my face as I slide down the door. 

"I should have rejected you, and I should have killed you when I had the chance you little bitch!" Bain states as he walks to me. I close my eyes and shake my head as a sob leaves me. 

"Baby, Macy Baby why are you crying don't cry I got you, baby," I open my eyes and see Chadum kneeling in front of me, I flinch as his hand touches my cheek. "I am going to love you forever." 

Suddenly his hand connects with my cheek as he slaps me. "Now stop crying, I will not stand for a weak mate!" I look back at him and see the demon's red eyes as he slowly turns to someone else. 

"I hated having you as a sister, I wish when you tried to kill your self, it would have worked, I mean come on, you were so pathetic, who fails at killing themself!" I sob harder as Annie's face gets closer to me with each word. "The only reason I was glad you survived was that I got to kill you myself. " 

Annie states as she grabs me by the throat. "Do you remember that?" She smirks as she tilts her head in mock curiosity. "No? Then let me remind you," Annie states, and a sharp pain goes through my heart, making me scream in agony. I look down at the dagger in my chest before looking back up at Annie; the demon's red eyes take over.
