LETHA FOR LIMBO

The third circle GLUTTONY

I'm going to hell.

For humans that means their going to get punished and suffer.

For me it means going home.

I need to go home.

I need some time and get away.

I need reality and that is hell.

You might have heard of the 9 circles of hell.

Where sinners gets their punishment depending on how they've sinned but for my parents, siblings and I they are merely our rooms in our big old house of hell.

My room is the first circle, the last one to be created is limbo. For those who are not sinners but did not choose or cannot choose God.

So by now you might be thinking Lucifer has 9 kids because there are 9 circles of hell, well you're wrong.

There are only 8 of us and my parents live at the 9th circle.

You might also be thinking that we represent each circle in our personalities, its true in some aspects but mostly not.

Take Eros for example, he lives at and governs the second circle, lust. You might be expecting him to be a whore but no. My brothers is a thousand years old virgin.

Why?

Because being the eldest, he was born during the time our father is suffering through withdrawal symptoms from heaven. And he's still very much against humans and their sins. He has calmed down since then.

So... He taught my brother never to succumb to earthly pleasures.

"You have a sweet smell around you"

I was chilling at Eros' place when my 2nd eldest brother, Cerberus announced his presence with his alarming comment.

Ceb, is gluttony and sweet smell means addiction.

"Don't worry, its vanilla sweet kind of smell not like tangy or..." He explained

"Who smelled vanilla sweet?" - Eros interrupted what he was saying

Ceb pointed at me

"You're starting to get addicted" - Ceb

Yes, I am.

When you are at the presence of an angel ther's this kind of feeling where you feel light or nostalgic. Angels presence can uplift a nation.

That's why I try to distance my self from angels because I crave the feelings they give.

But this time I couldn't stay away.

Ever since I saw Raziel.

Yes, I've been stalking him.

"Who is it?" - Eros

"Its the dog I was planning to adopt. He was so cute, I pass by him everyday. And now I've decided I'm taking  him home"

There is a dog.

"If geryon and you wasn't born close to each other you wouldn't have learned how to say such great white lies"

Geryon was the brother closest to my age, we were partner in crimes but he is also the one I fight with the most.

-------

The trip back home didn't help.

My brothers made it worse.

"Mandy, convinced the nerd club to tutor us"- Jessica announced and all the girls shrieked with joy.

I am now at the living room of the house I'm renting with other girls from my university.

" why are you guys so happy? Are your grades that bad?" - I asked

"No, we are happy because the nerd club with a certain hunk is coming to our house with some other friends who are also hunks"- Jessica said so excitedly she could be foaming in the mouth.

Then the door bell rung.

I didn't know what to do.

I lasted a day without succumbing to the desire of taking a glimpse of him but now he's here at my door steps.

As Mandy went to open the door I started to go upstairs.

"Where are you going?"-Jessica asked

" to my room"- I replied

"You are so going to miss out"

I did not reply and kept going.

Then decided to stay at the balcony instead.

---------
4 freaking angels

And 3 freaking nerds is in my house.

I also havent count the 6 hormonal girls downstairs.

Which turned a group study to a somewhat party.

Such close proximity with 4 angels is making my body buzz I didn't even noticed Raziel joining me at the balcony.

"Not coming down stairs?"

I was startled.

"What?" I asked he's presence making my head feel lighter.

His forehead crunched up.

"Are you a sympath?"-he asked.

" what?"

Angels do not know what I am.

They see a normal human being but they can still sense that I was different.

"I always see you around. And I know you sees us differently. I know you could also see things normal humans don't. And your reaction to us is so strong, if your not a sympath what are you?" -Raziel

What is wrong with this dude your not supposed to be announcing that your out of the ordinary like that. I know angels gets strict trainings before they are allowed to be seen by humans.

"What are you?" - I asked instead. Pretending not to know.

" I can't even hear your thoughts"

So much warmth.

I want to get closer.

I started to step closer.

More I want more.

I want to pull the light closer to me.

"Raziel, what are you doing?" - another Angel joined us, Jabin.

And I glared at him. Because he pulled Raziel farther away from me.

I know him, we arrived the same time in the university.

"Look at her. Some humans clings to warmth we can make them feel you are warned about this"- he reprimanded Raziel.

I was inching closer and closer.

" no!"- Jabin said in a firm voice. "Raziel, leave" he commanded and Raziel followed.

Leaving a hole in my stomach as all the warm feeling disappear.

Jabin regarded me for a while. Probably noting the difference when Raziel left.

And without saying anything Jabin also left.
