Flaws and Repercussions

Progression Pt. 1

It's been a few weeks since I got the altar from Cynthia's grandmother.

So far, with the assistance of Cynthia, I have managed to almost master telekinesis, levitation, and controlling my telepathy. I could now manage whose thoughts I could hear, instead of being berated by the thoughts of everyone around me.

"You are making great progress, Emmaline." Cynthia gave another one of her  iconic smiles.

"Thanks, I am trying for once," I just managed to lift a 120 pound table, with Sebastian sitting on it. "Though to be fair, Sebastian only weighs like 126 pounds."

"Actually, it's 160." Ah, the man whore has decided to include himself.

"That's still underweight for someone that's 6' 1."

"Bah," He stood up and stepped over to me. "You know I can't gain weight, unlike you. But it does go all to your breas-"

I gave him a strong punch to the shoulder before he could finish.

"Alright, you two. That's enough." cynthia physically got in between Sebastian and I.

"Fine...." We both drawled.

"YOU ARE SUCH A CHILD!" That sounded exactly like Erna, and quickly followed by a humored chuckle.

"You're the one whose screeching like a child." That voice was Nerium.

Don't tell me those two were at it again...

Over the course of these few weeks I have noticed who gets along best with who in this group of weirdos.

Nerium can get along with Claudia, despite the occasional perverted episode, and I'm fairly certain that they have a thing for each other. She can also get along with Sebastian, not that I thought they wouldn't, they are both perverts. Tristesse also seems to tolerate and, dare I say, be amused by some of Nerium's antics, such as grabbing the fallen angels huge chest. But with Erna...it's a nightmare. Erna is far too wild and violent. Nerium, while also violent, is a trickster. A hothead and a trickster being in the group leads to lots of headaches. 

"Will the both you shut up?" I say as I enter the corridor. Erna almost has her tanned, calloused hands around Nerium's slim, porcelain neck.

"Can the both of you ever calm down?" Great, even Tristesse has come out of her room. She is always doing what death does best, brooding.

"Not until she stops being annoying!" Yelled the very annoying Erna.

"You are both annoying..." said Claudia, finally making an entrance and pulling Nerium out of Erna's range. That's when Sebastian decided to show his handsome face and restrain the valkyrie.

"Geez, you really need to calm down Small Mounds." That nickname did nothing to calm Erna's raging temper, in fact, she only turned on Sebastian.

"Shut up, you foul, horrid, whore of a demon!"

"Such dirty talk..."

Sebastian didn't seem fazed by Erna's words at all, though I could agree with Erna on the foul part. I've had to share the same bed with him for weeks now. He smells sweet, like honeysuckles, but their is always an undertone of sulfur. Nasty...

"Erna. calm down. We do not need another hole in the wall because you saw it fit to punch it." Tristesse took the reins from Sebastian, placing a pale hand on the valkyrie's shoulder. Erna's rage fueled pants started to lessen and she let herself be pulled by the fallen angel. When the valkyrie and the fallen angel disappeared into the bedroom I turned to Nerium and Claudia, Claudia was whispering into her partner's ear. I could pick up some of her words as I listened in.
