Temperance's POV
I was humming to myself as I lifted a tray of cookies out of the oven. My most favorite thing to do is cook and bake. I also study medicine, but baking is my absolute favorite. Gluttony was watching me, drooling. I laughed, setting them on the top of the stove.
"You'll have to wait for them to cool first." I cautioned.
"Awww. . ." Gluttony whined.
"You'll regret it if you don't. You'll burn your tongue and then won't be able to taste them." I said.
"Temperance, it's time." Mother said.
"Already?"
"Yes."
"Give me a moment." "Gluttony, we have somewhere to be." I said, picking up a cookie, wincing as it burned my fingers.
Gluttony blinked. "Where are we going?"
"Somewhere close." I tossed it to him.
He opened his mouth wide and caught it. At that moment, I told Mother, "Go."
Gluttony and I were sent to Earth.
When I opened my eyes, Charity was bending over me, worriedly. "You okay, lil' sis?" She asked.
"Yeah." I sat up, brushing my long blonde hair out of my eyes.
I had a long-sleeve blue shirt, a white mini-skirt, white leggings, dark-brown boots and fingerless gloves. My hair was done up in a braid that was pinned to the back of my head in a coil.
"Where's Gluttony?" I asked groggily.
"Over there." Charity motioned.
Gluttony was eating sand.
"No! Don't eat that!" I jumped up and hurried to him.
He looked at me pathetically as I brushed the sand off him. He's like a little kid. I thought with a sigh.
"Why can't I?"
"Cause it doesn't taste good." I responded.
"Oh." He looked sad.
I turned to Charity. She was watching me silently.
"Where are we staying?" I asked.
"Follow me." She turned and walked up the beach.
I walked behind her, then stop when a hut comes into view. Resting a few feet away from the shore line, it was round and obviously made by my older sister, Kindness.
"Kindness is currently locked up with Envy so they stop fighting." Charity informed me, opening the door.
"I sincerely doubt that will ever happen." I reply, following her into the house.
"But it could." She shrugged.
"Hey." Greed said, sitting up from a white, fluffy couch.
"Hi." I nodded.
"Is there anything to eat?" Gluttony asked.
"No, Chastity and Lust should be back in a couple hours." Charity said.
"Aw." Gluttony looked sad.
I patted his bald head, then looked around the room.
A scream of "OH MY GOSH, LUST AND CHASTITY END UP TOGETHER!" followed by a girly shriek made us all jump.
"Wha-" Greed began.
Then maniacal laughter and a "Shut up!"
I guess the scream from Kindness, the shriek from Envy, the laughter from Kindness and the "shut up!" from Envy.
"Well, she woke up from her trance." Charity mused.
"Why was she in a trance?" I asked.
"She wasn't feeling well."
"Oh. That explains it."
I walked over to the door and knocked. "Kindness?"
"Temperance! Thank Mom you're here! Get me outta here!" Kindness banged on the door.
"I can't, sorry."
"Wha? Traitor! Help me 'fore Envy murders me in my sleep!"
"That's a good idea. . ." I heard Envy say.
"Don't you-agh! Temperance! Help!" Kindness screeched.
"I ain't doing anything. . ." Envy said.
"Shut up and go with it!" Kindness hissed.
I had to hold back my laughter. Charity was rolling on the floor, laughing, and Greed looked amused.
"You aren't very bright, are you?"
"Shut up and get me out of here!" Came the indignant reply.
I walked away, rubbing my face tiredly as they started arguing.
"This is your fault we didn't get rescued!"
"It is not! You should've told me first!"
"You should've figured it out!"
"Shut up, give a guy a little warning next time!"
"There won't be a next time, idiot!"
"Who are you calling an idiot?!"
"You are an idiot, idiot!"
"I'm going to kill you!"
"Go ahead, you'll die too!"
"ARGH!"
Kindness screeched as a loud THUMP was heard. I facepalmed, sighing. They're both idiots.
