The family of fifteen had seen the downwards spiral of humanity. God had pondered and pondered further what to do. His daughters had been pestering him to use it as a playground. God had been seriously considered just giving it to them until he heard a knock on his study door.
"Father. My brothers and I wish to speak to you."
Diligence was the oldest and strongest of the boys. He had a good head on his shoulders and tried his hardest to motivate all those around him, especially his twin sister Sloth.
"What is it my sons? Are the girls troubling you? You all know better than to get in their way don't you?"
"No it isn't that father." Patience understood his Father's qualms about the girls as they were often in and out of his father's study with various complaints about the boys. "We want to help you with the Earth situation. We want to see if we can talk to mother about restoring humanity."
"Your mother is not to blame. She simply left the humans to their own devices just like I did."
"That's not what we mean father. We know it's neither of your faults but the humans weren't 100% bad. We just want to give the humans that were good another chance. Besides, you can come with us too. It will be the perfect opportunity to see mother again."
God looked into Charity's pale yellow eyes and the 10 year old memory of Mother Nature took over his entire being, painfully so.
"God, You know what has to happen now right? I have to try my best to preserve the Earth and help the humans. Alone."
"Is this why you made me sign over the control of the Earth? So you could leave me and our 14 children?" God had tears streaming down his face as the woman he loved told him the most heart-shattering words he'd ever known.
"You know that's not true. It's not in my nature to be so cruel. And I know you can handle the kids. I can't even ask you to stay with me. You and the boys are fine but what about the girls? most of them have entered their puberty stage and are at their worst. We can't bring them here."
God tried to find a reason to get Nature to stay regardless. He failed in that aspect so he kissed Nature furiously before getting in his car and driving back to Purgatory.
"Fine." God could hardly contain his joy at the thought of being reconciled with his other half.
"What about the girls? We can't take all the glory of saving humanity and just leave the girls out." Humility had grown to love his twin Pride and even though his love was not reciprocated, he couldn't bear the thought of leaving her out.
"Sorry H, even I'm gonna miss not being around Gluttony, but we need some self control around things like this. This isn't a game, it's real life." Temperance pitied Humility but he knew he was speaking the truth.
The boys were so immersed into their 'save humanity' conversation that they did not see twenty year old Envy race out of her father's study and into the dorm where her older sisters were.
"What's happened now Envy? Did you find out that Daddy bought me a new car?" Envy's green eyes clouded over as the jealousy ran through her veins. She despised her sister Avarice. Avarice did everything to make Daddy her personal shopper and this made Envy's blood boil.
"No. Daddy and the boys are all planning a holiday to see mom. Without us! It's not the slightest bit fair, I want to go to!"
"Let's all get there before them! The food here is becoming a bit repetitive..." Wrath snorted at Gluttony as she said that and muttered a spiteful comment under her breath.
"That's a great idea! It will be a great way for me to show more people my beauty!" Pride was sitting at a vanity mirror retouching her makeup unaware of Lust's fingers slowly caressing her arm. Envy noticed this and her nostrils flared as she thought about what it would be like to be lusted after.
"If this is happening, everyone needs to shut up and pack, all your jibber-jabber woke me up!" Everyone started packing whilst Sloth threw a pillow into a bag and continued snoring away.
A couple hours later, everyone had poured into Avarice's shiny new Toyota Supra and her yellow eyes still shone from being the only one with seven cars.
"We've been driving for hours and I don't see a single piece of meat in sight. Where's the food at?" The only response Gluttony got was a punch in her pudgy stomach from Wrath and a loud snore in her ear as Sloth used her fleshy shoulder as a pillow.
Avarice pulled up by the entrance of the woods and they all got out with their bags and began trudging to the tree-mansion their mother lived in.
Lust led the way and as they neared the mansion, she heard her little sister Avarice voicing her thoughts about a car that was parked a few metres across the way. Even she could agree that the car was the perfect sexy little cove for two people to...
Lust climbed up the wooden steps and pushed open the door.
"You go mom!" Lust could feel her body getting excited as her mother and another guy were doing the horizontal tango.
However, Wrath had also witnessed the scene. She charged in and began strangling this guy who seemed to be a milion years older than her mom. Nature grabbed Wraths arms but it backfired as Wrath threw her forward sending her mother flying in the same direction.
Nature felt the life draining from her body as the blood seeped out.
Mother Nature had been killed. Father Time had been killed. God would be devastated.
Earth was finished.
