KELLI'S P.O.V

"Kellin! Get down here!" I heard Jack shout from the ground outside my Box as my eyes slowly fluttered open. At first I was reluctant to the idea of getting up, throwing a pillow over my head to block out Jack's shouts until I remembered what a lazy ass Jack is himself so whatever it was he wanted must be important otherwise he wouldn't be up either.

I groaned slightly and sat up, the headache I had yesterday returning again but I tried to ignore it as best I could. I caught a quick glance of my reflection in the mirror on the opposite side of my Box, noting the awful bed hair which was sticking up in random places. I couldn't be asked to sort myself out.

"Well, Jack better find this sexy," I muttered to myself as I slid open the door immediately seeing Justin, Gabe and Jack all standing on the small path waiting for me, each with a grin etched on their faces.

"Just woke up?" Gabe shouted as I jumped down to be at their level. I nodded and Justin flicked some hair out of my eyes.

"So what's up?" I said to the three of them, all their grins stretching across their faces even more. This is either really good or really bad.

"Remember that lost soul that took Chippy?" Jack asked, I nodded again in response, "He's being punished right now. Publicly. Let's go watch!" He began jumping up and down happily then broke out in a small happy dance before skipping down the path like the 5 year old girl he was.

"Well, looks like he's not going to wait for us," Gabe said, speeding down the path to catch up with Jack then jumping on his back forcing Jack to give him a piggy back.

"I still don't see how you find it amusing to see people in that much pain," Justin stated as he began walking beside me. I noticed how he had said 'that much' pain so he must understand the amusement of seeing someone getting tortured at least a little.

"We're in Hell for a reason," I simply replied with and Justin just stayed silent.

"Is it possible for another Fallen Angel to go to Hell before the one hundred years is up?" he asked, taking me by surprise a little at the sudden question.

"No, unless the Angel has sinned really badly then it's not possible at all," I said, wondering why he'd ask such a question. Before I could even think about asking him why he wanted to know he suddenly changed the subject.

"Nice weather today, huh?" he said awkwardly.

I gave him a look to tell him just how stupid he was, "Justin. The 'weather' doesn't change."

"Yeah, it does," he said, scratching the back of his neck.

"No, Justin, no it doesn't," I said, finding his awkwardness now amusing.

"There was a wind when I flew down as in like when I find first entered Hell."

"No, that was then Seven Deadly Sins."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"You have bed hair."

"I'm still attractive. I'm sex."

Before he responded we had already reached Gabe and Jack. We were stood at the front of a huge crowd which circled around who I assumed was the tortured soul who was positioned directly beneath where the hands of the giant clock met.

He was tied to a pole that had spikes sticking out all around it, straight into his back. He was already bruised all over. One of my fellow demons who came under the name Austin, who was also a trainee of the Sin of Wrath, stood next to the soul, whip in hand.

"I never understood why Austin decided to become a delinquent of Wrath or why he was even sent to Hell. He's too nice of a guy for the job although maybe it had something to do with Alan being one of the trainees too."

"What's a trainee?" Justin asked, looking at me confused. I must've been saying my thoughts out loud again.

"Sorry, it doesn't matter." I said, trying to put off having to explain more ranks of Hell to Justin.

"I want to know. It's only right that I understand," he went on to different reasons as to why I should tell him until I put my hands up in defeat.

I sighed, "For the past year each Seven Deadly Sin has had three subordinates such as the Sin of Lust, Barakat, has three demons in which he must train; Mikey Way, Andy Biersack and Ashley Purdy. Eventually Jack won't be able to continue as a Sin because his time will be up and when that happens he simply disappears. Barakat trains up the three of them so that when the time occurs one of them can take the role of his Sin.

Each of the trainees is then given three souls of their own. Mikey has three girls; Blue, Fletcher and Frizz. All of the girls have similar appearances actually. From what I had notice, Blue is his favourite, she's the one that he practices on the most but that's besides the point.

Once Barakat believes that each of them are prepared and have reached the top of their abilities they are then put through tests to see which one will come out on top as the new Sin of Lust. Obviously, each Sin's training and end tests are different. That's pretty much it." I let out a huge breath. That was lot of talking. Justin just stood there looking at me in bewilderment trying to take in all the information.

I returned my gaze to the soul and quickly studied the type of punishment he was receiving. It wasn't that bad at all, he was lucky to be lightly getting away with trying to escape.

"Is this all he gets?" Jack screamed next to me at Austin who just nodded his head gravely, "Chippy could've of died!"

"But he didn't," Justin said, now not shifting his gaze away from the soul. It was as if he had forgotten that I had even spoken to him, he was just suddenly so intrigued by the soul. Jack glared at him slightly but didn't make an effort to say anything else.

I turned to Gabe who hadn't been saying anything, "What's his name?" I whispered, in case I wasn't meant to know.

"Mike Fuentes."
