Fun Fact: In Latin, a 'v' is pronounced like a 'w'. Just sayin'.


Chapter 4

*o*

When I opened my eyes, I found myself in tall, golden grass. I sat up, looking around. I was in some kind of field, hay maybe, clothed in faded jeans, a blue tank-top, a green crop jacket and white sneakers. My hair was down, and I could feel earrings hanging from my ears. A groan caught my attention. I turned, to find more grass. Okay Kindness, it's time to come up with an alibi. And to figure out who else is in this field. I stood up, pushing the hay out of the way as I walked through the grass.

"Hello?" I called, bending down to tap the person's shoulder who was face-down in the grass.

He groaned, slowly pushing himself off the ground. Long, palm-tree like black hair framed wild, green eyes. Envy. He was in jeans, a green t-shirt and black converse, with his regular black headband in place.

"Where am I? Who are you?" He stared at me, confusedly.
"We're in a hay field. I'm not really sure where." I stood up and looked around. "I'm going by Kiara. I'm your Angel." I offered my hand.

He ignored it, standing up on shaky legs. I bit my lip, trying not to count that as a point against him.

"Get me out of this hell." He growled, grabbing my shoulder.

"What?" I asked.
"Get me out of this hell, Angel!" He yelled.

I rolled my eyes. "Stop being dramatic, Homunculus. We have to find the others before you can die," I started walking. "So you might as well start walking!"

Charity's POV

I woke up to find myself on the beach. Waves crashed against the shore, soaking my shoes and socks rather quickly. I sat up, and found myself in a purple corset with a sweetheart neckline, a ruffled purple skirt, thigh-high white socks and black, lace-up ballerina flats. My black, curly hair tumbled down my shoulders, sand currently nestling in the curls. A groan captured my attention further down the beach. I stood up, walking down the beach and shaking the sand from my hair and clothes. Greed was sitting fully upright, clutching his head.

"Hey, you're awake." I knelt down next to him.

"Where am I?" He groaned.

"Earth, on a beach." I said. "I'm going by Clare, short for Clarity. I'm your Angel."
"Greed." He wasn't going to make up a name?

"Headache?" I asked.
"Something like that." He looked up at me, washed-out purple eyes watching me with a weird glint.

"Mm, I get the sick one. Brilliant." I sighed, standing up.

"What?" Greed asked, standing up.

"Nothing. We should look for the others." I swept my gaze around, hoping for a familiar person. Like my twin.

"Yeah. Let's go." Greed stood up, swaying slightly.

I started walking down the beach, then stopped as a thud echoed through the air. I turned, to find Greed face-down in the sand.

"Hey. Let's go, this isn't funny." I called.

He didn't move. ". . . Greed?" I hurried back, then nudged him with the toe of my shoe.

Unconscious. Great. I looked around for some kind of shelter, as dark clouds formed in the sky. My abilities were controlling Air and invisibility. Not much help.

"Hello?" I called, starting to panic.

Something's wrong with Greed, it looks like it's going to storm, and I have no idea where I am.

This is brilliant.

Chastity's POV

When I opened my eyes, it felt like I could touch the sky. I blinked, knowing that couldn't be right. I sat up, my face hitting a cloud. Water tried to suffocate me. I coughed, swatting the cloud out of my face. I stood up, then nearly screamed. On top of a skyscraper. Lovely. I took a couple steps back, then stopped when my foot hit something. I turned, to find a woman laying right where I was about to step. I bent down, shaking her shoulder. "Hey, wake up." I called softly. Lust opened her eyes, revealing reddish-brown eyes. Dressed in a long, silky red dress and black boots, she wasn't dressed the best for climbing down a skyscraper. I myself was dressed in slacks, a red dress shirt and boots. She stood up, swaying a little.

"Careful." I warned, reaching out and steadying her. "Lean too far and you're falling off."

Lust shook her head, disoriented. "Where am I? What alibi are you going by?"

"On top of a skyscraper, and Chase." I replied.

"In a big city, then." She said, nodding.

A crack of thunder made both of us jump. I looked up, to find large, black clouds coming.

"We should get down before-" Lust started.
"We get shocked." I finished, peering over the side.

Darn it, my powers are fire and telepathy. Nothing to use to get us down. Lust can elongate her fingernails, but how's that going to get us down?

"Dang," I paced, running my fingers through my dark hair. "We are so screwed."

"You can't catapult yourself with fire?" Lust asked.

"Not without being seen. And carrying you." I rubbed my face, frustrated. Why couldn't I have air like my twin? It would make things so much easier.

. . .

My sister! You moron, talk to her!

I closed my eyes and concentrated, searching through the sea of minds for my sisters. Which was hard in a city.

"Chase?" Lust asked.
"Shh. Lemme concentrate." I shushed.

Lust was quiet as I searched. I finally got to a beach, miles away, when I recognized her energy source.

"Found her!" I fist pumped, keeping my eyes shut tight.

"Chare?"

"Chas! Oh thank Mom you're . . . not here?"

"On top of a skyscraper and kinda stuck. It's going to storm. Anything happening over there?"

"Greed's unconscious. The storms a lot closer. I don't know what to do!" Charity was freaking out.

"Lemme call Kindness."

I turned my attention away from the beach and searched for another five minutes.

"Kindness~"

"Chas? Oh my Mom, you scared me."

"Before you ask, I'm ontop of a skyscraper. Lust's with me. Charity's on a beach and Greed's unconscious."

"Envy is bugging me like crazy. On top of a skyscraper? Aren't those things pointy?"

"Apparently this one is flat."

"Weird. What's up?"

". . . There's a storm your way, right?"

". . . Yeah. It's really far away, though."

"It's almost over top of Chare."

"Huh. Weird."

"I need you to get Chare over here."

"Dude, mine's plants. Not teleportation."

"Get Greed in a plant-made shelter and her over here."

". . . where are they." Kindness sighed.

I rattled off the coordinates.

". . . They'll be there in a moment."

"Thank you."

"You owe me one."

"Right."


I'm back~!

Kindness: It's about time.

Me: Chillax, it hasn't been that long.

Kindness: *snorts*

Me: Whatever! Go play video games with Humility, why don'tcha? Filming for today's over.

Temperance: "Filming"?

Me: Yup. All these adventures are on tape!

Envy: I glanced at the script. Blackmail time in the near future~! *sadistic grin*

Kindness: *looks at the script* Crap. You can't be serious!

Me: Muwahaha, I am always serious. Unless I'm not. Anyway, I feel like this story is more Drama than Adventure, but oh well. Which pairing do you want to see more of? I'm writing chapter 7, so I need to know soon so I can add it in before I post the next one, which will be soon...like, next week. (Maybe)

I have some junk up on my deviantart thingy. I've got Humility, Kindness and Temperance. Charity, Chastity, Diligence and Forgiveness will be there...sometime...

Thanks for the reviews! It means a lot!

Review?
