Reese Matthews was so tired, he didn't even know what to do. He couldn't go back home, his parents were fighting again. Why they hadn't moved out after they divorced? Money problems was what Reese came up with. But a small part of him doubts that. He couldn't go over to a friend's house, because all they did was talk about him behind his back. And he didn't want to think about going to his now ex-girlfriend's house because of the last time he went there. Deep in thought, he didn't realize that there was someone ahead of him.
"O-Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't know that you were standing there…" He trailed off as he looked up at… someone. He couldn't tell if they were male or female. They had short blue hair, and startling green eyes. A pale hand stretched down to greet him.
"Its fine, I wasn't really paying any attention either." They paused. " I'm Luciana, what's your name?" She asked, pulling Reese up with alarming ease.
"Reese," he replied as he brushed the dirt off his legs.
"Whoa, you're a toothpick! Have you been eating right?" Another voice spoke up, commenting on how easily Luciana had been able to lift Reese up off the ground. Reese turned around to see a bronze skinned man with platinum blond hair and orange eyes appear almost out of nowhere.
"I'm fine, I just haven't been having the best few months." Reese answered.
"How long has it been since you had a nice home-cooked meal?" Reese looked at the newcomer strangely. Luciana just patted him on the shoulder.
"This is Marshall, don't worry about it, it's just how he is. He's a real Marsh-mellow!" Luciana winked as Marshall glared at her.
"It's been a while, I can't remember the last time-" Reese spoke up before he felt himself being lifted up into Marshall's arms, and looked around wildly. Eyesight landing on Luciana, he searched for an answer within her eyes, but found none, as she was just as confused, and a bit worried, as he was.
"Marsh, what are you doing?" Luciana asked hesitantly.
"Taking him home with us so he can join us for dinner." Marshall placed Reese into what he assumed was their car, and buckled him in. Seeing as there wasn't really a way to talk Marshall out of it, Luciana slid into the passenger's seat, and buckled herself in as Reese looked around the car.
"Nice car…" Reese trailed off as he spotted something that seemed very out of place in a car.
"Um, I'm not sure if this should be here..." Luciana looked in the back and her gaze landed on the object. She sighed.
"Marsh, remind me to talk to 'Lett about her…" She glanced up at Reese.
"Accessories… when we get to the house. Marshall just chuckled as he continued driving. Reese noticed the sky getting darker with clouds.
"Looks like it's going to rain. Dreary'll love it. Luciana muttered, now facing the front of the car. The rest of the ride was silent as Marshall pulled up to the house, and continued with Stage 2 of his spontaneous kidnapping.

\\\\\

"We're back! And Marsh kidnapped a person!" Five heads turned to the trio by the door.
"Who's the twig?" Someone from behind them called. Reese turned around to find a girl with blood red hair and vibrant red eyes. She glared at Reese, her lip curled in disdain.
"I'm Reese, it's nice to meet you." Reese stuck his hand out for a handshake. The new girl stared at his hand, then glared almost murderously. Luciana stepped in front of Reese with her hands up in a disarming motion before the situation could escalate for the worse.
"Amira, this is Reese. Say hi." Luciana then turned to Reese. "Reese, this is Amira." Reese nodded, still afraid of the murderous glare from over Luciana's shoulder. She seemed to sense this, and whipped around to face Amira.
"Okay, Iracundia, he's scared, you can stop now." Luciana muttered. Amira's gaze softened as she stuck her hand out to shake Reese's.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you in your sleep." She joked. "That's just how I greet people I don't know."
"Hey, I'm making dinner, you want anything?"
"Marsh, you're always making dinner." Luciana commented.
"I'll take some ribs." Amira answered.
"How many?"
"Does it really matter?" She replied, giving Marshall a knowing look.
"Guess not. And you?" Reese jumped as the chef turned his attention to him.
"Me what?" He asked confused.
"What would you like to eat? And is you say anything about ramen, I will probably cry." Amira tapped his shoulder.
"He's not kidding, I will give you $5 if he doesn't cry at your poor food choice." Reese looked back at Marshall, and scratched the back of his head.
"Um… I wouldn't mind some macaroni and cheese…" He shrugged. Marshall stared wide-eyed at Reese.
"Please tell me you aren't talking about that shit that comes in a box." Reese shrugged his shoulders.
"That's it." Taking ahold of Reese's hand, Marshall dragged him into the kitchen. Reese stopped at the doorway staring in awe.
"Do you like it? Not a lot of people have a gourmet kitchen that looks like this."
"Gula, my dear, whoever are you talking to?" A woman appeared in the kitchen out of a fiery blaze. Reese yelped as he was startled out of his seat.
"Mother, I wasn't aware that you would be home so soon. We have a guest." Marshall addressed the woman like this was a daily occurrence.
"Marsh kidnapped him when he ran into me because he was so thin." Luciana walked in followed by Amira and four other people.
"And he wants to cook him dinner for the simple fact that he lives off of a college kid's stomach." Amira stated, pulling a sharp object out of a pocket, and proceeded to stab it into the cutting board near the knife Marshall was using.
"Iracundia Peccatum, what did I tell you about knife throwing? What if Gula was using that cutting board?" As the woman lectured Amira, a blonde tried and was currently failing at helping a shocked Reese off the floor.
"Need help Carna?" A slate blue haired male asked.
"No, I got this." Carna huffed. A girl with scarlet red hair that wasn't Amira rolled her eyes before stepping up and helping him off the floor.
"Well, hello there cutie, what's your name?" Reese backed up from the girl that looked a lot like Amira, but with ice blue eyes instead of firetruck red.
"She came out of the wall…" Reese muttered, staring at the woman Marshall called mother, before passing out.

"Look at what your ugly little face did, you killed him!" The red head that helped Reese off the floor glared at her twin.
"At least I didn't try to scare him to death when we first met!"
"Yeah, you actually succeeded!"
"You're so stubborn!"
"That's a characteristic of my sin, genius!" Before Amira could throw something at her twin, Marshall stepped in and patted her head.
"Thank you Marshall. Now, that's enough out of you Scarlett. And Amira, honestly, you're twins, why call her ugly if you don't think so about yourself?" The woman that came from the wall scolded. She sighed and set the bags she was holding on the table. "I bought gifts for all of you, but they'll have to wait until our guest is back on his feet properly."
"That's actually going to take a while." Carna and Dreary muttered unanimously.
"Can you elaborate?" A girl that looked like the woman from the wall said from her place next to Scarlett.
"While I was trying to help him off the floor, I sensed very low amounts of Pride." Carna explained. She turned to Dreary.
"And I sensed high amounts of Sloth."
"That's right!" All heads turned to Luciana. "When he first walked into the house, I sensed a bucket load of Envy. He must live in a bad spot if we're sensing just these emotions."
"She's right. When I was staring him down, I couldn't detect a single trace of Wrath. Just fear." Amira stated. "Can't believe I'm saying this, but he needs our help. If not ours, someone else's, but help, regardless."
"Aww, does Amira have a crush?"
"Shut up!" Amira shouted, startling Reese so bad, that he sat up rapidly. Amira glanced over, and lowered the knife she planned to throw at Scarlett in the closest thing to sympathy she had. Everyone looked at Reese as he wiped his eyes, and hit his face softly.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me. I thought I saw you come in through the wall." Reese glanced at the still unnamed woman. She smiled.
"Oh, I did. I was unaware that we would be having a guest, so I didn't bother coming in through the door." She told him gently. "I am Satana Antitheus. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance." She stuck her hand out. Reese looked at it suspiciously before shaking his head.
"I know better than to go around shaking hands with deamons." All talking and arguing stopped as they looked at Reese. Satana stared at him in shock before turning to the seven teenagers that inhabited the home.
"Explain." Reese raised his hand, and she turned to him.
"Please don't take it out on them, they didn't tell me. I figured it out on my own. I'm a very observant person." Satana's gaze softened as she looked at Reese.
"Well, would you like to share how you figured it out with the class?" Luciana asked softly.
"When Amira was glaring me down, you called her Iracundia, which is Latin for Wrath. I just thought I was an odd nickname since her name does end with -ira. But, when Ms. Satana stepped out of the wall, she called Amira 'Iracundia Peccatum' which means Wrath Sin in Latin. She also called Marshall 'Gula' which means Gluttony. Another thing, is her name. But I thought that Satan was a male, Ms. Satana? I don't mean to pry or anything; I'm just curious."
Everyone stared at Reese in shock. They didn't expect him to ever find out. Satana smiled, and turned to her children.
"Well, since he figured it out, I guess you should reintroduce yourselves." Amira opened her mouth to speak, but someone shoved past her, and looked smugly at the others.
"I'm Carna Peccatum, also known as the amazing Sin of Pri-" She was shoved out the way, as Amira stood up behind her.
"Amira Peccatum, Wrath Sin." She stated quickly as she dodged Carna's fist thrown in her direction. Luciana sighed.
"Luciana Peccatum. I'm the Sin of Envy." Reese's eyebrows furrowed.
"You don't act like a Sin of Envy." Luciana raised an eyebrow before sighing and digging in her pocket. She pulled out a square object and tossed it at him.
"How'd you get my wallet?"
"Swiped it from you when you bumped into me earlier. It's a shame, it was a really good wallet." She muttered as she walked off to help defuse the time bomb of Wrath.
"Next time, don't doubt her Sin. She has a lot of control over her Envy, but it doesn't stop her from showing signs of kleptomania." A girl who looked like Satana stood next to Reese.
"Avaritia."
"The Sin of Greed." Reese translated.
"I didn't get a name change." She shrugged, and walked off. Two people sat down next to Reese and one laid their head on his shoulder.
"Hey cutie, I'm Scarlett, the Lust Sin. So, what's your secret?" Reese looked at Scarlett confusedly.
"You know, how'd you get Amira to like you so quickly?" She elaborated. Reese squeaked as a knife embedded itself into the wall in between Reese and Scarlett's faces.
"Iracundia!"
"You bitch, you cut my hair!" Scarlett jumped up to join Carna in attacking Amira.
"Bring it! You can't even land a punch without being scared of breaking a nail!" The bickering and fighting continued as the person on his other side shifted.
"I'm Dreary, the embodiment of Sloth. Nice to meet you." Reese blinked.
"Dinner's ready, so if you'd stop fighting..." Marshall strolled into the room before being forcefully shoved out by the other six teens. Satana sighed.
"Would you like to join us for dinner, Reese?"
"I thought that was the reason Marshall kidnapped me from the street corner."
"Gula!"

Even if the Sins hadn't told him who they were, Reese could tell that this wasn't a normal family. Amira had rib bones in a steadily growing pile next to her plate, Luciana and Avaritia were trying to steal from other plates, but both Marshall and Satana stopping them. Dreary had apparently finished and was asleep, and Scarlett and Carna were getting into a heated discussion about if vampires were better than werewolves before yelling at Amira, who said that dragons were better. When Reese sat down, Everyone stopped what they were doing to look at him.
"What?" Reese said nervously.
"Marshall and Luciana told us that you haven't had a home-cooked meal in over a month. We wanted to see your reaction to the food." Amira's eyes widened like she remembered something.
"Hey Marsh, grab five dollars from my room, I owe the little punk." Everyone stared at Amira. "What, I told him that I'd give him five bucks if Marshall didn't cry at the prospect of cooking college food. He didn't, so I'm giving him what I owe."
"It's not like you to actually fork over the cash, I think Iracundia's got a little- Ow!" Amira was glaring daggers at Scarlett as Amira kicked her twin under the table.
"Go ahead, eat!" Marshall urged. Reese looked down at his plate. It had macaroni and cheese, with some roast ham on the side. Reese poked at the food with his fork before spearing a piece of ham alongside the mac and cheese and eating it. His eyes widened, and he began eating it like he's never had it before.
"We'd ask if it's good, but you're too busy making out with the food to answer." Scarlett spoke.
"I'm just glad he's eating. It didn't look like he's been eating the right kind of food these days." Marshall muttered to Satana.
Soon, Reese was finished with his plate.
"Would you like anything to drink?" Avaritia offered. Reese looked conflicted.
"Oran-uh, water, thank you." Ava's eyebrows furrowed.
"I'm sensing some type of Greed. If I didn't know any better, which is kind of impossible due to me being the literal embodiment and all, I'd say that the type of Greed you're experiencing, is Longing." Ava placed a cup of water in front of Reese, but she didn't let it go. "Are you sure you want water?" Reese stared at Ava.
"My dad doesn't-" He cut himself off. Avaritia glanced at her mother.
"Your dad won't know. Nothing that happens here ever leaves this house. I promise you. Now, what kind of drink would you like?" Satana consoled. Reese stared at her before looking up at Ava.
"An orange soda…? Please?" Avarita smiled.
"Sure thing."

Damn. Do you see this? Five pages of blood, sweat, and tears. So, yes, I'm starting a new story. It's technically an original story, but there's a section named after the Seven, I'm using it. So, yes. New story, abandoned story, sounds like my sketchbook. So, here's some info about what's going to be happening.
I'm removing Not Your Average Teenager. I'm sorry to all of you who really liked it, but I want a fresh start without having to delete my account. I'm getting a new bio. Like I said, I would like a new start. I'm going to go into detail about Reese, Satana, and the Seven, and maybe introduce you to some new characters that will be appearing in a new book soon. It'll probably be posted after this is, but I'm not sure.

Ciao~ Oblivion.
