A/N- Wassup? It be TOBN here with a new chapter of No One Survives!
This is it! Two more chapters of this story, and the chapter before they find Ethan once more! What will happen? What is going to unfold? I guess you are going to have to find out when you read this chapter, am I right? Jokes!
But anyway, recap for last chapter; Ethan had escaped Satan's castle, and everything is happening at once. Ethan is in the area of Lust, and Jane just suffered the sin of Sloth. Now the sin for Rory is glutton, and things could only go even more downhill from here.
And I think for those who thought this would be an Ethan/Sarah and Benny/Erica story, you guys are going to be absolutely shocked. What is TOBN talking about, you ask? You are going to have to read on to find out my friends ;)
Sorry in advance if this is shorter than usual: Gluttony is a weird sin for me to cover, because I didn't really know how to twist it and what not. But hey. I'll try!
Shoutouts to...
TrampledRose- Don't confirm the pairing yet; it could go many ways, and I think I have a pretty twisting way it could go. It was a last minute decision, but I think it makes sense. And if you are talking about what I think you are, you are right ;) Thanks for your review!
MBAV fan66- Yup! Ethan is out! And sure! Sarah is the one he is lusting. You think that ;) Anyway, there was a lot going on in that chapter, huh? Poor Benny had to work out everything on his own, huh? THAT SUCKS. But at least everything is going well...ish. Jokes! Thanks for your review fanfic buddy!
123456789vampire- The path is truly revealed! Great nicknames by the way. I get it :) And I am glad you are reading very closely and figuring stuff out! I just hope that no one figures this out, because I want to surprise you all. What is this surprise? FIND OUT AS YOU READ! Jokes! Not much about that pairing will be revealed in this chapter, but hey. It'll be there. Thanks for your review!
And with that, I hope you enjoy this chapter, and make sure you drop a review!
ENJOY!
P.S- Once again, I have changed the punishment from the original ones, because for one, Rory already loves rats, and two, walking by food doesn't make it better. I have a rather amusing one...*rubs hands evily(
No One Survives: Chapter 7: Of Course You're Hungry
Ethan had somehow managed to heal his broken leg with the help of some friendly soul down the road [to Ethan, it looked like the soul was trying to redeem itself in some way...like that was ever going to happen. It was in the gates of Lust for goodness sakes.], and he could somewhat walk a bit better than he did before.
But as Ethan walked down the path of Lust very slowly and weakly, his thoughts were plagued by her.
Sarah was on his mind. A lot. He wanted her here. He wanted to run his fingers through her hair. He wanted to smell the fresh scent of vanilla and lavender from the stuff she used when having her deep conditioner treatment. He wanted to play video games with her. He wanted to see her beautiful...emerald eyes?
As he walked down the path, the image in his mind started to shift. The features of brown eyes and long, brown hair was replaced with shining emerald eyes and short, ruffly hair. Ethan gasped at this sudden change, and he stopped abruptly in his tracks.
He had tried to push away this feeling for so long.
The Seer turned around to see he had walked under some kind of arch, which was looming high above him. He walked backwards slowly to see a sign that was towering above him.
'The Arch Of True Love'
Ethan silently cursed at it, for being so remarkably cheesy and cliched, but he couldn't swipe past the feeling of the new lust he was feeling for that certain someone. The certain someone he swore he would never think of when it came to love. He thought by loving Sarah to death and getting infuriated with her would work. He had thought that if he could slowly wash away the feelings for that person and NEVER think of him that way EVER again.
At this moment, Ethan felt a shrill shudder wash upon him and his thoughts sharpened. He frowned nervously to himself.
Looks like he was wrong.
Rory was absolutely petrified.
He had seen every sin in play, and he knew that the last sin was definitely for him. Well, it wasn't quite the last sin, but it was more like the last sin before Ethan. And he knew himself that he wasn't lusting for anyone...or so he hoped.
Well, things were starting to get very nerve wracking, because everyone [including Jane, who was weeping when she saw Benny, and they held in each other's embrace for a few minutes] was already in the gates of 'Gluttony', and Rory was just standing there, dumbfounded.
Benny had noticed this, and turned around to look at Rory with confusion in his eyes.
"Um...Rory?" He asked aloud, snapping Rory out of his daze. "Are you coming, or do you need to be invited in?" He said to the blonde, half joking. Rory gulped as he shook his head slowly, looking down at his feet rather embarrassingly.
"N-No. I-I'm coming." He stammered, taking small steps into the gate and closing it softly behind him. Benny could clearly see the fear in his eyes, and he subconsciously pulled his arm around Rory's shoulder, shooting him a reassured smile.
"Whatever happens in here will not be your fault, okay?" He said, almost reading Rory's mind. Rory took a breath before smiling towards Benny with one of his dopey grins.
"Okay! Thanks B!" He chirped, skipping ahead as Benny sighed.
"You're welcome Rory." He said with a small smile, that faltered into a worried frown as he saw Rory take yet another piece of fruit off the tree. He munched on it and downed it quickly, gulping as he smiled in pleasure. Benny saw the worried and kind of disgusted faces that his friends' wore as they saw Rory eat another piece of fruit.
Now Benny knew how bad this was. Gluttony and vampires should not go together too well, if you asked him. Who knows if Rory would stop consuming fruits and just start being hungry for blood. He already had his blood sucked once on his way here, and no way would he let Rory get anywhere near Jane. Does that mean Rory would just drink his blood?
"Rory! Stop eating; I want some!" Jane moaned, reaching for the piece of fruit as Rory grabbed all the fruit one by one, holding them in his arms as he pulled back from Jane, hissing as he ate a rather excessive amount of fruit.
"I complained about eating; I should have some first. You know how I have a," He stuffs the fruit in his mouth, crunching it. "Heavy appetite!" He protested, his words stifled with the food. Jane moaned as she flopped down on the ground as Sarah looked at her, then Rory in shock.
"C'mon Rory! Jane is human and you are a vampire; you don't even need this!" She said. Della nodded in agreement. "Seriously Rory, you are being so gluttonous." She said with a fear in her eyes. Rory rolled his eyes. "Oh come on. It can't be that bad. I am just hungry." He said with a small and bashful smile.
The gang walked along, Benny trailing nervously behind him, biting on his finger with a quiver. Rory continued to munch on the fruit in his arms as he then saw something he never thought he'd see before; a huge waterfall of melted chocolate.
"Oh. My. Gizzle." Rory said, automatically running in there and starting to lick all the chocolate. Jane smiled as she too went to get a taste of chocolate, and Benny shrugged, seeing how harmless it could be and took a sip. He then pulled back as he saw Rory push Jane out of his way. He stepped back a bit as he observed the small food fight between Rory and Jane.
"Rory! It's my turn with the chocolate waterfall!" She complained. "Can I have a piece of fruit so I can dip it in there?" She added. Rory pulled back, hiding the food beneath his arms as he shook his head.
"No! I want it! I am need this more than you do!" He protested, sipping the chocolate as Jane's stomach rumbled. Rory ate furiously as Erica nearly slapped him with steely eyes. She growled at the blonde boy.
"Rory! Let Jane have a bite! Besides! You're a vampire; you don't need human food." Rory stopped for a minute as some realization washed over him, and he pulled back and turned around.
"Rory?" Jane asked fearfully. Rory then flashed his fangs as he looked at Jane rather hungrily, smiling.
"You're right." He sneered, Jane shivering in horror. "I don't need mortal food. I think I need something...more tastier." He said slyly. Jane screamed in terror as Benny ran up to everyone, catching up to the group, who was trying to pull Rory back from a mortified Jane.
"Rory! Stop!" He yelled, pulling the strong vampire back. Rory hissed at him, and Benny jumped back like a cat that came out of water.
"I am STARVING!" He exclaimed, his voice going octaves down. "Let me EAT!" He yelled, pushing Rory aside, and blinded by the sin that was plaguing him, he closed in on Jane's neck and, fangs extended, was about to bite it when...
Benny had enough of not being able to fight back against these sins, and having to watch his friends suffer, so he decided to do something.
He found a big rock and with all his strength, lifted it up and hit Rory in the head. Hard.
Rory gasped as he collapsed in front of Jane, the little girl jumping back as she let Rory fall in front of her. Della covered her mouth in shock as she ran up to Jane, hugging her tightly as fresh tears streamed down her cheeks. Sarah checked on Rory as Erica stood by Benny, his heart jumping a little as she kissed his cheek.
"Good work, Weir." She said with a small smile, looking down as Benny blushed, rubbing the back of his neck bashfully.
"T-Thanks, Erica." He said, grinning like an idiot as Rory yelled from on the ground.
The two teens looked down at Rory, who was grasping onto his stomach in pain, rolling around the floor. Sarah winced at his condition as Rory let out a feeble squeak, rolling to Jane's feet as he groaned once again.
"Ugh! My stomach is KILLING ME!" He yelled out, getting help from Benny as he weakly got to his feet. Benny puffed as he sighed.
"I guess really bad stomach aches are the punishments for the gluttonous." He said with a shrug, making Rory want to throw up. "No...shit..." He moaned in between words, leaning heavily against Benny, who sighed as he helped Rory walk. Rory's arm was slung around Benny's shoulder, and Jane just sighed.
"Before you even shower me with your apologies," She said at Rory, who shot her an apologetic shrug. "We should get going. Lust is next, and since there will be no distractions there, we can get to Ethan as soon as possible." She said, walking ahead as she exited the gates of gluttony, followed by Erica, Sarah and Della, leaving Benny to grunt and carry Rory all the way out.
Rory's stomach ache dampened as they neared the gates of Lust. Benny took a rather dramatic breath.
"This is it. The last sin. Unless one of you suffer double sin, we are in the clear." Erica cleared her throat as she looked bashfully at everyone, looking down at her feet. Sarah saw this, and nearly face palmed as Erica shrugged.
"Yeah, I mean, I am warning you now, if I go all sex crazy, don't say I didn't warn y'all." She said honestly. Benny rolled his eyes; that could be likely. Della rose her hand sheepishly as well, blushing madly.
"I may have been lusting Ethan." She said meekly. Sarah rose her hand too. "Me too." She said with a small frown, making Rory step forward. "I might have wanted Erica in my pants before." He admitted, making Erica look at him in disgust. To everyone's surprise, Jane even rose her hand. Everyone shot her confused looks and she shrugged.
"I thought Benny was hot once, then he started to be a dork and I stopped. Does that count as lust?" She asked sheepishly. Benny rolled his eyes as he sighed.
"Look, those are very..." He looked at Jane, who turned her gaze away meekly. "Weird confessions," He said, pausing between his words as he looked at his rather embarrassed friends. He sighed a bit as he rubbed his temple.
"But that isn't lust. Erica's might be, in a way, but I mean, if you guys are talking about a crush, that isn't lust. Lust is having the urge to have sex without knowing the reasons why. It's an animalistic quench that is thirsty for someone, in a way." Benny explained. They walked into the gates as Erica frowned.
"Okay, I never had one of...those." She said nervously. Benny sighed as he was stopped in his tracks as a person stood in their way. His eyes widened.
"Ethan?" He asked in shock.
Now Sarah was hoping Ethan would lust her. Della was hoping the same way.
But when they saw their scarred friend, free and everything, they all turned to Benny, and then Ethan, and then Benny, and then back to Ethan.
Ethan's glare was fixed on Benny, and it wasn't a very good glare either.
