To Be Human
Chapter 1:
What's Going On?
"What's going on?! Why did you call us here?!" Kindness demanded.
"Stop." Mother said.
She shut up, seething.
"I've changed my mind." Mother addressed them all.
"Changed how?" Temperance asked.
"Diligence." Mother turned.
A girl that looked to be eighteen stepped into view. She had shoulder-length, wavy brown hair and purpley-blue eyes. She stared at her siblings with a blank look on her face.
"When you go back to Earth, you yourselves will be human."
"What!?" Kindness shrieked.
The twins winced as Mother shot her a death glare.
"Better keep quiet." Talia whispered.
"Under no circumstances do I want you to love the ones your judging. Kindness."
"Why?" Now it was Charity's turn to speak.
"It will affect how you judge them. Duh." Diligence said flatly.
Kindness felt her anger surge. Who was she to snob them!? She herself was older!
"I might have to start you two over. . ." Mother muttered to herself.
"Wait, you can't-!" Kindness began.
"And why not, Kindness? Who are you to tell me what to do? I've created you. I can do whatever I want." Mother said.
Kindness looked like she had been slapped. Shocked, hurt, and angry.
Very angry.
"Understand?" Mother glanced at them all.
"I can't." Kindness said, her hands balling into fists.
"What?" Mother stared.
"I can't do it."
Several pairs of eyes widened. Kindness was directly disobeying?
I knew she was crazy, but. . .what the heck? Humility leaned over so she could see around Chastity and Charity.
They were lined up by age, with Humility at the top and Talia at the bottom.
Green vines slithered across the white, marble-like floor at a high speed, aimed for Mother.
"I can't stop loving!" Kindness yelled, her hand whipping out to shoot sharp thorns at her.
Diligence jumped in front of Mother, lightening moving even faster then the vines, shocking the plants. More lightening sliced the thorns in half. Diligence made it look effortless, though moving at that speed and accuracy was near-impossible.
"Are you disbanding?" Mother asked.
"Might be." Kindness's eyes narrowed.
"What will Envy do?"
"Come along with me."
"Think rationally, Kindness. You can't really fend for yourself and take care of a half-injured human." Mother stated.
"I can give his powers back." Kindness crossed her arms over her chest defiantly.
Everyone waited with bated breath and wide eyes to see what Mother would do.
"How can you give his powers back," Mother moved at a speed faster than the eye could follow. "When you don't have yours?"
Tap.
Shwoosh.
Thud.
Mother tapped Kindness right between the eyes and drew out her powers. Kindness slumped to the ground, unconscious.
"Anyone else want to leave?" Mother asked.
Nobody said anything. None dared to move. None defended their rights.
Nobody wanted to end up like Kindness.
"That's what I thought."
"Chickens." Diligence snickered.
With a quick wave of her hand, everyone's powers were extracted and placed into a glass bowel.
"Have fun." Mother said.
Insane and slightly creepy laughter resounded throughout the room as the Virtues-turned-human flashed to Earth.
Soooo? How was it? Good? Bad? Horrible? Short?
...
Traumatic?
Haha, anyway, I was kicking myself for creating Carmen in the last one, then I figured out something for it. Mwhahaha.
Review?
