A NEW CHAPTER OF THE SEVEN DEADLY VIRTUES.
Hell yeah
-=*|*=-
On a before silent hill, there was a parked pig and bar, but this time in the middle of no-where. There was also a thick forest surrounding the clearing they were parked in.
"Achoo!"
"Bless you" Said Melly passing by with a tray of empty glasses that we hadn't got to clean up from a few days ago, as they hadn't been in business since then.
"Nasty..." Mumbled Gowther.
"Heard that. YO TIGER! Get out here need my practice please and thanks" Cherry shouted, going outside.
"Well at least you didn't call me-"
"Make haste, Tigger!" She teased.
"Ughh" He said.
"Ya really think you can beat me this time, huh Cherry" He said grinning. "I will definitely win this time"
"I wouldn't bet on it tigger".
They were about 10 meters away from each other and their faces showed they were serious. They were really fighting.
Ban was about to walk over to Cherry to stop the fight, but Melly stopped him.
"What are you doing? They'll kill each-"
"Nah. I think Cherry can handle herself by now. Oh, and they have to do this. It's because Tiger is the second virtue, meaning she found him second, so he's like the Co-Captain and she has more say in things and choices. He clearly wants to take the title, or maybe they just want a bit of fun." Melly said, sounding so calm, while Ban was not, but he went with it.
Tiger made the first move and took out a pack of cards. Cherry then pulled out her weapon, or should I say, weapons. She pulled out her daggers.
"Aw will you look at that, little red went to war with grandmother's butter knife collection. What a pity." Said Tiger. One of the main reasons he was named after a beast, by the way, was because of his attitude while fighting, it was like he was someone completely different. He loved taunting and teasing the opponents he faced, friend or foe, but that didn't phase Cherry for a single second. She threw her daggers in the air and they all combined to make an iron sword with a black leather grip. She caught the blade and shouted "Fire dwell within me, combine with my sword to create the Swords if Hell!" As soon as she said that, fire shot out of her sword, but she wasn't done. "Wind dwell within me, combine with my flames to create Whirlwind Hell!" The flames were then enveloped in strong, ferocious winds that controlled the fire and made it swirl around her continuously as she gave Tiger a look saying "Your turn".
He got his cards and took the top one and flung in it the air, and it was the card of Luck. When the card came back down, he caught it back-facing inwards. He pulled a sword out that had a white blade with tints of green in it, it looked like marble, and it had a black grip. When he finished taking it out, the card flashed and went into the sword like liquid and stopped right before the grip, and a four-leaf clover appeared where it stopped. When this was done, in a matter of seconds btw, he charged at Cherry.
He swung at her and she blocked easily, but she knew what he was doing. " Don't try to trick me, you know who I am it doesn't work." She said as she plunged her sword through is stomach, the fire and air forming around the sword for extra damage. She pulled it out and said "Fire and air, STOP" And her sword went back to normal.
"That was a good ba-" Tiger started, but stopped. "Can you feel it?" He asked her, seriously.
"Yep" She said, and they both started running in the same direction.
"For cryin' out loud, why do they always run?" Said Ban, lazily.
"I know, right?" Said Melly, then they both ran after the two virtues while the rest were inside.
They kept running until they got to a small clearing with someone lying down in it, he also had a giant stab mark in his stomach. "Third!" Cherry said and she ran to his side and sat beside him. "Oh, third, what did you do? Silly."
A strange figure came out from the trees in all black, but Tiger knew who it was, and so did Cherry. "Please help him" He said to the figure. They extended their hand and healed him, then walked away. "See you soon" Said Tiger.
-x-
He slowly opened his eyes and felt someone was hugging him. "Cherry. Off." He said. "God damn it Third you scared the shit outta us, who the hell do you think you are by getting stabbed? Huh? Explain!" She shouted and scolded him. "Uh I dunno, a victim of a 'murder' maybe?" He said sitting up.
"Seems you haven't changed" Tiger said, putting down a book he was reading. "Stress?"
"Yeah, sorry Cher. It's been so frustrating finding out where you guys were. Everyone's answers were "What? They're dead and criminals, stay out of their business" Ugh. I wanted to kill something" He said chuckling at the end.
Elizabeth came in with a tray with water and a towel to put on his head. "Oh, good morning" She said smiling. Everyone outside heard and came in.
"Feeling better? You were in really bad condition before" said Diane.
"Yeah, much better. Thanks" he sad to her. "Oh, by the way, I'm Elijah, but you would know me better as Bronze, the Third virtue of Humility" He said that and his emblem appeared on his high right hip. "I vow to help the sins" He said.
"Ow! What the hell?" He said looking down at the emblem"
"So it does get worse." Said Tiger. "Mine only hurt a tiny bit"
"No. Mine felt like being pricked by a needle. Sudden pain, thats all"
"Oh! This reminds me of something, be right back" Said Cherry leaving the room. Ban followed.
She ran back through the forest and back to the clearing, were there were two men picking on a young woman. 18 maybe.
"Come on girlie! Just show us a little, thats all!" Said one.
"Yeah! Just a bit." Said the second.
"I-I'm sorry. I can't" She said sounding scared.
"Come on! You don't wanna end up like that other girlie in Riften Dungeon, do you?"
"Yeah, I heard she was one of the Seven deadlies or something"
The girl gasped. "Hey, thanks guys" She said smiling. She got out of their grasps and kicked them both in the head, knocking them out.
She had hair that was light lilac and medium length. Her eyes where a beautiful pink colour. She looked at Cherry and Ban and smiled.
"Well hey there, Cherry" She said with a smile.
They brought the girl back to the Boar Hat and went into their room. "Guys! This is our new friend, M-. Oh hold on, say it yourself or else it won't work" Said Cherry, giggling a bit.
"Okay, I am Mita, but you would know me better as Mauve, the Fourth virtue of Chastity". When she said that, her mark appeared on her left hand and it was a horse. "I vow to help the sins" She said that, then took a sharp breath in.
"You okay? Did it hurt?" Asked Bronze.
"Huh? It hurt you guys too? It kinda felt like someone punched my hand really hard" She said, looking at her hand.
That night everyone had a feast to celebrate that they found more then half of the virtues, but Cherry wasn't with the others, she was out in the clearing, looking at the sky. She wanted to go in but she didn't feel well at all, and it's been awhile since she was alone. She just wanted time to think.
-x-
You know, life is pretty sad, you live, you meet people, have a good time, loose some friends but get some more, then I don't know what's worse, you dying and leaving them behind or them dying and leaving you alone. So is it really worth what it is? I mean what would life be with no evil? Would people still die? Would people still turn on you and betray you? The answer is yes. Yes they will. They will because no matter what, people will never change, because you can't change who they are, no matter how hard you try. Why is it so difficult...
Useless thought's plagued Cherry's mind, so she stopped paying attention, and when Melly passed with a box full of decorations that they were taking down, and she banged into him, but before she did, he lifted the box with one hand and caught his sister with the other.
"Woah there, Fire. You should watch where you're goin'" He said.
"Whoops, sorry. Lost in my thoughts." She said, smiling. "But could you get me a glass of water please? Got a bit of a headache"
"Sure thing, Fire"
At that moment, Ban walked in, and we were the only people in the room, as the others were out hunting.
"Yo Cap'n, the other sins came back with me but the virtues found something and told us to go ahead" He said, he then saw Cherry there too. "What're you doin here? Gettin a few extra drinks in, huh?"
Just when he said that, pain shot through her head. This was no normal pain though, it was enough to make her grab her head and roll on the ground, shouting. She wanted to scream at the top of her lungs until there was no air left. She wanted to pull all of her hair out so the pain would stop. She felt arms wrapping around her. She opened her eyes and saw Ban holding her, looking very worried and she heard Melly drop the glass of water and run over to her. After those thoughts, she blacked out.
When she woke up, she was in her room along with Ban, Melly and Elizabeth, who came back from the market. She had a cold towelette on her forehead and she was in her bed. She went to sit up but Ban stopped her. "Woah there, gal. You're still weak" Thats the first time she had ever heard Ban sounding worried. She smiled. Melly came over and said "You should tell us when you aren't feeling well, because if you don't tell us we can't help you" He said. Then, the virtues came into the room. "Cherry! We have bad news. We found something concerning-" Muave was saying, but she then looked at the sins in the room and looked back at Cherry.
"Go on, it doesn't matter, they can listen, we trust them" Cherry said, while Bronze locked the door.
"We found something concerning seventh" Muave said.
"What? What was it?" Cherry asked.
"She has captured by the Holy Knights"
"Oh that explains the pain. Go on"
"She's in Riften Dungeons"
"Go on."
"They know-"
"WAIT! WHAT?"
"Riften Dungeons in-"
"No, no, no" She said getting up and walking around, holding her head. "We have to get her out"
"But we promised to find each other in the order"
"Sorry Mita, this is really important" Cherry said with concern.
"Please, Cherry tell us whats wrong. Why can't she stay there, she can handle herself"
"Yeah, I mean I did" Ban said.
"Okay! Seventh isn't... she isn't steady"
"What? As in... brain wise?" Ban said.
"Ban!" Bronze said.
"No. She gets... claustrophobic... "
"Claustrophobic. So much commotion for claustrophobia?" Ban asked.
"Ban!" Melly said.
"I said it before and I'll say it again. Don't underestimate seventh. Also, don't fuck with her. The reason I'm concerned is she freaks out when she gets scared. If she wanted, she could destroy the entire dungeon, no, all of Liones if she was pushed enough"
There was silence for a while, after.
"Cherry, that's not all."
"What? What else"
"They know. They know about the curse that you both share"
-=*|*=-
OKAY. WAS LONG. IK. BUT
A - I had to get up to date with Writer Fairy 02's story and
B - I wanted to give you a long chapter to make up for the time I was gone.
Also excuse any mistakes, I wrote this in about 1 hour and I type quickly and am too lazy to read through it again XD Whoops
Just a side note Claustrophobia is the fear of small or tight spaces.
But yeah, hope you enjoyed
~ Panda, out :)
