Purgatory

Seven people meet together in Purgatory, a place where it is no one but them. The place where they each have to make-up for their sins or be punished forever.

Note: Major OC (Mariana and Jesus were broken apart, Brallie is already a couple, Mike and Stef are still married.) and the house is the house in the show.

Thank you everyone who reads and reviews because I like how everyone is interested in this! I try to go for completely different stories than from the show (*cough*Callie as a stripper*cough*).

WARNING: MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH

Domino

"Hello this is Gail Madden with an update on the Jacob case. Jude Jacobs autopsy has revealed that Jude was already dead when he was shot. Police have no suspects in custody at the moment. In other news Liam Olmstead..."

"What do you mean Purgatory?Jude this isn't funny." Jesus spoke first confused since he didn't understand why he died or that I even died.

"Purgatory is a place in which the souls of those who have died in a state of grace are believed to undergo a limited amount of suffering to expiate their venial sins and become purified of the remaining effects of mortal sin. You are all here because you did something that prohibits you from going straight to Heaven or Hell." I tried to explain but I could see some of the others struggling with the concept of their demise.

"Jude, what happened to you?" Callie asked looking at me but I couldn't stand to look at her. I didn't want her to be here, she deserved to live.

"I was killed Callie. By one of the people who is sitting at this table." I said looking over everyone but I couldn't define who was the one who killed me. They all played a part but only one gave the extra nudge.

"Then why are you in purgatory? What did you do?" Brandon asked and I rolled my eyes because I knew that was coming.

"When was the last time I went to church? I did things too , I stole food Callie when we were in our first Foster home Callie." I clarified to my sister only. "This isn't the time to talk about me. You all have crossed paths with one-another at least once."

I moved over to Lena and stood behind her before speaking.

"Callie we met Lena once when we boarded a bus to visit LA, she gave us her seat. Mike you met Lena when you intercepted your wives text to her, you went to the bar expecting to meet the man your wife was cheating on your wife with but instead you met Lena when you asked her if Lee was in the bar. Brandon you met Lena when she fostered you when you were only a toddler. Jesus , you helped volunteer for Lena's festival last year. You sold concessions. Mariana , Lena caught you selling drugs once and she promised not to call the police if you stopped. " I clarified to everyone.

"Jude stop this." Callie lowered her voice and I noticed Brandon take Callie's hand to calm her silently.

"I would but you all need to pay. I already paid for mine and now its your turn." I looked at every other person sitting at the table.

"Pay for what? You need to tell us." Mike said speaking up for the first time.

"If you would be patient I will show you all when the chain of events started. It started with your birth Brandon. If your parents never gave you up then you would be sitting at home right now most likely playing piano."

"What do you mean? Jude you need to stop talking like this and just say what you mean." Mariana asked.

"Brandon's abandonment set off a chain of events. Am I right?" Stef asked then the room around us dimmed and a scene from years prior surrounded the kitchen table.

Stefanie Foster sat in her hospital bed looking at the baby in the bassinet that was sleeping soundly, a baby boy. Her and Mike hadn't even been trying when she found out that she was child and now that her son was in the world she didn't know if she wanted to keep him or not. Her and Mike had met with an adoption agency when she first realized of her pending child. In the end they decided it would be best to keep their child.

"Did you decide what you want to do?" Mike asked his wife and he knew what was most likely going to happen in the near future.

"No, what are we going to do Mike? I want to keep him but you just got fired from that security agency last week. We don't deserve to be parents." Stefanie was scared of what she wanted. she wanted to keep the baby but something was pulling at her to give him away. This was a moment that would define her future.

"What about my cousin Mae? What if we gave him to her, she and her husband have been trying long enough. "

Stef sat looking at the bassinet and fiddled with her thumbs as she waited for her thoughts to give her a clear answer but they couldn't. Then she decided on something that seemed to be the only thing to get through this whole ordeal.

"We can drive out to some town and drop him off at a hospital or something. We never really told anyone that I was pregnant so most people won't question us." "Mike said and Stef looked at him and then looked at her child in the bassinet.

"We will get in trouble Mike."

"No , not with that Safe Haven Law in place. Stef we are in our early twenties with the world and possibility to have more children in the future. We barely scrape up enough money for the both of us. The baby has to be within a week old and it's legal." Mike said trying to convince Stef into giving up the innocent child to strangers.

"You promise we can try again in a few years?" Stef asked softly and Mike nodded taking her hands and kissing them.

"Yes, we can have a whole house full and a dog. We just need to get back on our feet."

"You just gave me up like that? You didn't even think about it." Brandon asked as he watched the scene fade away from them. Even though he knew he should be creeped out about what I just did , instead of fear their was an angry look in his eye that Callie tried to squeeze his hand for him to calm down.

"Brady, look we were living off of inheritance from my grandmother at the time. We only had three days to give you away and we decided what would be best for us and you. Buddy , Stef and I were only twenty three and neither of us had joined the academy yet." Mike tried to explain but Brandon wasn't having any of it.

"It's Brandon. I hope you both got your happy family before you died because I sure as hell didn't. I have been bounced all over the country until a couple years ago."

"Our life isn't perfect. We know we made a mistake but we were scared. After we gave you away we both enrolled into the police academy. I got shot once in my abdomen during my first month on the force. After that incident we found out that I can't have any more children. " Stef explained and I noticed that Lena gave her a comforting smile

"You chose that though, if you never given up Brandon then you would have enrolled in the academy two years later than you first did. Everything that you chose that opposed fate added to the sequence that got you here today. " I clarified.

"Like the domino effect?" Mariana asked.

"Yes only difference is that you need to realize and repent for those choices. "

Italics will be used to reference to the past , and in this Jude is giving everyone a chance to repent for their "sins" before they move on to either a higher place or Hell or possibly back to Earth. I need 5 reviews to continue!

Also my friend Kelli read over my work and asked if I meant for it to be extremely religious since I don't practice Catholicism truth is that thus us supposed to be a sad story about people who died before their time. Each person is a figure of a deadly sin (minus Jude) , the family stuff is not what plays to why they are there.

For another clarification; Jude was killed by one of the 7 , though I will not talk about who it is. Every one of the 7 "victims" had a way to kill Jude. Liam did attack Jude though! I think by the 10th-ish you will have enough flashbacks from that night to find out who with what and why.

Purgatory is where they are for the killer to pay for what they did and to repent for what they did.

Any questions you can review and I will pm you the answer or answer it in the next chapter!
