The Seven's Puppet Show [DROPPED]

Chapter 7

~Alice~

“Good.” Red said cheerfully. “That’s one less lecture I’ll give you.”

I just stared at her. Should I do something? Or should I just sit here awkwardly at the kitchen floor and listen to Red?

“Stand up and stop shaking. I won’t bite.” Red assured. She extended her hand to me.

I was shaking, I realized. “Well, you attacked me.” I took Red’s hand and stoop up with a low grunt. Once I was standing firmly, Red suddenly disappeared. “What the—?”

“Room with lots of fluffy chairs.” Red shouted. “Oh my gosh, what kind of boulder is this?”

“It’s called a bean bag.” I said when entered the living room. Red was holding the bean bag. She squeezed it tightly then she stretched it. She was grinning like a little kid who discovered a nice toy. Without warning, she threw the bean bag at me but I easily caught it on mid-air. Red looked disappointed.

“Will you stop attacking me?!” I yelled at Red. I threw the bean bag back at her. Instead of catching it, Red avoided it. The bean bag bounced at the wall behind Red and landed with a soft thump on the floor. She looked at it disappointingly.

“Tch, what a useless weapon.”  Red said.

“Because it isn’t a weapon.” I rolled my eyes.

“Then what is it for?” Red asked.

“Uh, you can sit on it, or you could rest your head in it, et cetera.”  I answered. Red picked up the bean bag then dropped it on the floor and sat on it.

“Sitting on it does make sense. It’s very comfortable.” Red did look comfortable sitting on that bean bag. “Now, where should I start?”

I sat at another bean bag across Red. “What do the seven deadly sins have to do with—”

“I am Wrath.” Red said calmly. “As I have said a while ago.”

“Go on, I’m listening.” I said.

Red’s eyebrow twitched. “Gosh, I hate this moments. You’re gonna be my puppet to kill at least six devils, okay?”
