Happy 7th month anniversary!

It has been a long seven months, and I would like to thank everyone for their support for this story. So, on the 7th month anniversary I bring you the 7th chapter, and the end of this story. I hope you enjoy this final chapter as I have thought long and hard on how to go about this finale. I tried to portray this, the best I could. So please let me know what you think.

We have heard the tales of Luxuria (Lust), Gula (Gluttony), Acedia (Sloth), Ira (Wrath), Invidia (Envy), and Superbia (Pride) and now it is finally time for Avaritia (Greed).

She's got a secret,

Can you keep it?

There is a secret that no one knows. She will keep it till the end, even after her death. It is so monumental that it would change everyone's perception of her, even her own. It is so tightly locked away that not even the psyches invading in her head actually know the truth to. She has a secret, an unholy avaricious desire that she can't let anyone know about.

It is not exactly her powers that send tingles throughout her body. Most presume this is just one of the unfortunate after effects of her power. Most people would presume that the voices are another unfortunate effect. Everyone believes that she hates the voices, that they cause her great pain, that she would be better without them. to an extent she would agree, however there is more to it than that. There is always more to something than others can even begin to understand, and so she keeps it a secret.

She believes if she has a better control on every aspect of her powers she wouldn't mind the voices as much. It's not that they bother her that much, but it gives an excuse for some of her actions.

"Why did you do this?"

"The voices."

She can live with voices; she has grown accustomed to them, even if they get unruly at times. It's not the voices that she wants, it's what they hold.

No one can really begin to imagine the depths of what they truly hold. The ravenous soul shuttering secret she keeps is that she can't get enough of the abilities that come with the voices. If anyone ever discovered that she was like a greedy kid with an absurd collection they would never come near her. It's not like she's not already an almost social pariah.

After her first taste of what she could do, the feelings, the confusion, the high it held of being, knowing, living another life she wanted more. She has an insatiable need, an uncontrollable greed to consume as many lifetimes and powers that she can.

The powers are a twisted and grotesque collection that she abhors, but cannot stop her sick obsession. Power after power, person after person her powerhouse repertoire continues to grow.

If anyone ever discovered her disgusting secret, they would probably lock her up. It's not her fault that she has a sick obsession, have you ever felt the abilities and life force of someone else flow through you, it is exhilarating. Sometimes in her weaker moments she becomes concerned with her secret collection. She fears that she is a distorted mix between a drug addict and a serial killing sociopath. But those fears fade away once she collects from her next victim.

She wants more and more powers for her collection; they're like a catastrophe of porcelain dolls living on a shelf in her mind. As she acquires more powers the bigger and better her collection gets. The voices that haunt her live inside the dolls, the more times she collects from a person the louder their voice is, sometimes the voices down themselves out.

She wants and she craves and she needs more powers for her collection, it will never be complete, but it expands every chance she gets.

Mirror, mirror on the wall,

Don't you know she's the sickest, greediest one of all?

It is done! Complete! Finished! I can't believe that it has been a long seven months since I started this story. Once again, I would like to thank everyone one that has continued to support this story through everything. My soul is a flutter with happiness and sadness that this story is finally over. However, now I can focus on Mutations and Brotherhood, especially Brotherhood I feel like I've been neglecting it.

Thank you everyone! Please review and let me know what you think. Every review matters to me and only serves to help lift my spirits that someone cared enough to let me know what was on their mind.

Much love and appreciation,
