Prologue .
"A curse?" Lucy asked horrified and backed away from the terrifying figure in front of her.
A woman with a pale face and long white hair smirked at her and chuckled.
"Indeed, I have cast seven curses over people in your guild," she said and ran her fingers gently through Lucy's hair, "each person have their own curse."
"What do you mean by their own curse?" Lucy asked stuttering and didn't dare back away.
"Pride, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Anger, Sloth and Greed," she said and sounded like she was listing groceries on a list, "Each of your friends have been infected by a Deadly Sin and the sin will lead to their death."
"Why are you doing this?" Lucy asked short on breath. Just the woman's presence overwhelmed her with horror and all her courage and bravery was almost sucked out of her body. The woman chuckled again and lifted her chin.
"Let's just say I'm a reaper with too much time on my hands," she whispered smoothly and her voice made Lucy shiver, "but I kind of like you, so I'll give you a chance to save your friends."
"H-how?" Lucy asked and got surprised how small and childish her voice sounded.
"A new person will get infected with a sin each day of this week," she began and her eyes almost shone with excitement, "if the person survive for 24 hours with the curse they will be spared."
"Y-you want me to find the⦠cursed person - one everyday - and keep them alive for 24 hours," Lucy asked and felt like crying, "Who's the first victim?"
"It would be boring if I told you, wouldn't it?" she said and rolled her eyes, "but I will tell you the first sin."
"W-what is it?"
"The first victim will be infected with the sin, Pride."
Should it continue? Please review me your opinion. ^^
