Chapter Two - Pride

"We're not playing this dumb game!" Liz shouted angrily. But Chrona just smirked and knelt down. Ragnarok then again emerged from her back and oozed through her body, engulfing her in darkness. Then they disappeared.

"Shit, where'd they go?!?!" Soul yelled in shock and frustration and searched through the field.

"We're trapped here," Maka whispered.

"What?!" Soul turned around in disbelief.

"I think… we'll only be able to get out if we go inside the maze.." she deduced.

"I agree." Kid raised his hand and walked over to the maze. "Each one of us has to go through one entrance, huh? Yeah, right."

"Come to think of it.. Kid, you're not human, you're a shinigami, aren't you?" Maka reminded.

Kid nodded and continued to observe the maze. "Yeah, but we're not that different, are we? The only thing I have that you don't is power," he said mockingly.

"And OCD…" Black Star mumbled.

"I don't even know why I decided to play this stupid game," Kid continued. "I already have all the power I need."

Liz shrugged. "Too bad, we already decided." She walked over to the first entrance and noticed a dagger hidden in the leaves. "Oh hey, cool.." she muttered.

"Liz!!" They looked at her in shock as she picked up the dagger. "What? It's just a dagger.." she assured. "No!! Watch out! Behind you!!" Kid yelled. "Huh? What?" She turned around and gasped in shock. But it was too late to run away. Overgrown vines wrapped around her arms and pulled her inside the maze. Her muffled voice was barely heard as the entrance closed up, leaving her trapped inside.

"Onee-chan!!" Patti rushed over to the entrance and tried to tear the blocking leaves away, but they wouldn't budge. "Damn it!!" she yelled in frustration.

"Liz is trapped in there.." Tsubaki muttered. "We've got to help her, let's go inside the next entrance."

They nodded and hurried over to the 2nd entrance. "I'll go in first," Patti declared. "No, let's go in together at once," Kid suggested. But as they were about to take a step inside, vines gripped onto Patti's leg and began to drag her inside.

"Patti!" Kid and the rest of the group grabbed onto her arms and tried to pull her out but the vines were overpowering. "Don't let go!!" Kid yelled. She whimpered as she realized that she was slowly being pulled inside. "I can't.." she mumbled softly. And then her hands slipped away from theirs.. And she was dragged inside the maze.

"Damn it!!" Soul screamed and clutched his head. "Both of them are in danger now!"

Kid stayed silent for a brief moment then came to a conclusion. "Each of us should go inside one entrance, the game's meant to be that way," he decided.

"What the hell?!" Soul protested in shock and anger. "Who said anything about playing by the rules?!"

"Do you really think Chrona would let us break the rules?" Kid shot back. "We might end up getting hurt y'know."

Maka nodded and walked over to the 3rd entrance. "Besides, Chrona mentioned that we'll be given weapons.. Like the dagger that Liz found. I think we'll be able to defend ourselves from whatever's in there."

Soul sighed and got up. "Alright, whatever." They all decided to stick with Kid's plan and split up.

Kid took a deep breath and glanced at the others. "See you inside."

Silence. Nothing more. The inside of the maze was completely silent and voices were mute. Liz had no idea that the rest of the group had also ventured inside since she was unable to hear any of their voices. Witchcraft was at work.

Rustles from the leaves were heard, a strong breeze whipped against her. She'd begun to feel a bit frightened and cautious so she held tightly onto her dagger and glanced in all directions. "Damn right, I'm getting a pedicure right after I get out of here.." she mumbled in frustration.

"Wh-what?" All of a sudden, she felt something like a light blanket engulf her even though there was nothing. "What the hell was that..?"

She continued to walk through the maze, but she walked at a faster pace. She'd begun to breathe more rapidly and heavily and she was feeling more and more alert. Liz was scared; she was afraid that something was going to reach out and grab her. She felt as if there was danger all around her.

What she didn't know was that the danger was resting in her own body.

She glanced at the dagger and brought it to her face. "Wow.. I can see my own reflection in this thing.." she whispered in awe. All of a sudden, the thoughts and worries had left her mind and she was just standing there in the midst of darkness, staring into the dagger and enjoying her reflection.

She was beginning to unlock her dark sin: Pride.

"Don't I look pretty..?" she asked herself with a girlish chuckle. She stroked her finger through her hair and sighed. "My hair… it's not perfect."

Patti skipped through the maze and felt no worry at all. "I wonder where onee-chan is~?" She's forgotten all of her worry and fear, there was nothing left in her except curiosity and carefree emotion. She'd picked up a gun that she found whilst walking down the misty path. She didn't realize that she was slowly being taken over by her biggest and darkest sin.

She had no idea that she was about to walk into a bloodshed.

"I must.. Make myself perfect…" Liz had begun to tremble with worry and she could feel tears roll down her cheeks. "It's not good enough.."

The dagger was deep red with blood. Locks of her hair were scattered all over the floor. Her upper arms and thighs were slit and she'd cut off large amounts of skin and flesh with her blood-soaked dagger.

Her eyes were wide and maniacal; she was lying in a pool of blood.

"Still not good.." she uttered in frustration and disappointment. "I've got too much flesh and muscle here.. I have to take it out…" She picked up her dagger and repeatedly slashed away more tissue from her thighs. The dagger pierced into her flesh and caused a puddle of crimson blood to ooze out and trickle down her leg. She was crying from the pain but she was laughing from enjoyment. Her need to become more beautiful and eventually reach perfection was overwhelming her so much that she didn't care about the pain. She didn't realize that she was killing herself.

Blood trickled down from her forehead. She'd forgotten that when she tried to cut locks of her hair, she missed and ended up slicing her head open. "That.. Hurts.." she mumbled in pain, but ended up giggling and cutting more parts of her head. "If I cut my head more, it won't look so unusual and it won't seem like a mistake…."

Her clothes were torn apart, but that didn't matter. What mattered was that she was falling prey to her own hidden, committed sin.

She was always known as the girl who held the most pride in herself. Day after day, she'd pamper herself and dress up in various clothes. She neglected her studies and took up all of her time painting her nails and applying make-up. She was incredibly self-conscious; She wanted to look like a doll, a beautiful Victorian doll. Every part of her body needed to be perfect.

What she didn't realize was that she was destroying herself.

She was turning into a broken, plastic doll.

"Dear Patti… I wish you could see me now."

"Here I come, Onee-chan."
