Gala finally died and the dagger of Gluttony shined bright. The shadow burned away and the dagger in my hand mented into a pile of ash. Once again a flame lit from the ash and moved toward me. the flame floated in front of me.
“Take it boy.” Madam Kindrie’s voice flowed through my head. “Bring the flame to me.”
I reached for the flame but it moved away. I tried to push it around but it didn't work. I climbed out of the riverbed to get a thermos or something and the light followed me.
“So thats what we'll do.” I realised.
After packing up my stuff I drove home. The closer I got the more the flame would drift around my car.
Once I made it back to my apartment building and got out of my car when Mrs. Beatra came out and yelled at me. “What are you doing driving in and out of here at all hours of the night! I should make you pay to go thru the gate for this!”
I blacked out right there.
“More!”
“What?” I replied.
“More!”
I didn't understand. Two lights drifted in front of me and combined to make one bigger flame.
I looked and the flames revealed a shadow in a mask standing in front of me. “More!” It said.
It was a sin! But what one.
“More!”
Greed.
“More!”
This is the part I hate most. I drew back the mask and I saw an ear. There was a dimond earring in it. the ear was kind of.
I couldn't finish my thought. The monster attacked. It grabbed my left arm and right leg and pulled me apart down the center!
I was back.
“Black.” I finished my thought.
“Excuse me!” Mrs. Beatrice was still there. “It will cost you an arm and a leg to get on my good side if you start calling me black ya little white boy!”
I looked and saw a sparkle. It wasn't in Mrs. Beatra’s cold heartless eyes, It was here ear.
It hit me. Arm and a leg. Diamond in black ear.
“If you don't listen to me you’ll pay even more!”
More.
“I'm sorry Mrs. Beatrea. I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner! I have a way to pay you back. Wait in your office and I'll be down with your payment.”
“Thats more like it.” Mrs. Beatra smiled.
I headed up to my apartment. When I walked in I found Dot asleep and Madam Kindrie sipping tea.
“Madam K.” I started.
“Not now boy. Take this, I'll take that, and go.” Madam kindrie handed something wrapped in a cloth and took the flame from me.
I nodded and went out to meet Mrs. Beatra.
“Its about time!” She said as I entered her office. “This better be good.”
“ It is trust me.” I held out the cloth. “Its valued at about fifty thousand dollars.”
I unwrapped the cloth and found just what I thought.
The dagger of Greed.
“Real priceless gems, twenty five carat gold, and master forged engravings.” I showed her. I walked behind her and held the blade in front of her for her to see. “See this symbol?”
