There are two sins left. Wrath and Envy. I try to sleep after the defeat of Pride and Lust. I already took a shower but I get up and take another one. I try to wash away my energy to be awake. I rub and scrub but nothing more comes off and my skin starts to dislike the flow of water. I get out and look at myself in a new mirror.
My blue eyes seem to be a faint colourless gray, my fluffy dark brown hair has become a greasy black mess.
“Only humans can see the things you see.”
I turned and saw Madam Kindei at my bathroom door. “Are you calling me a monster?”
“I don't know what you are.” Madam kindrie shrugged. “But what should I care? I am not who says what you are.”
“But you just said I want human?”
“Are you?”
Madam kindrie was right. I don't feel human any more. Something in me isn't right.
A power surge struck and I was left in the dark. I got up to get a candle. I found a little candle in a glass, a little bigger then a shot glass. I lit the candle and looked around my dark apartment. It was midnight last I checked. Dot was asleep with Comma and Charlie in my bed. Comma as a pillow for Dot and Charlie was nesting in Dots hair.
I sat at the small table by the couch. I sat on the floor with the candle at arm level on the table. “Its all going to be ok.” I whispered. “Right my little fire? Yes good fire. youre power makes the wax bleed before you.” I picked up a candle that was missing its wick. It was now only a chunk of red wax. “Feed my little friend.” I held the red was over the small white candle. The red drops fell to the melted white wax and diffused into the surrounding wax. “Beautiful.”
The red wax was a marvel of art. The mix of the red and white was like a symphony, harmoniously blending to make there two sounds a dewet of colour and light!
“Yes, burn and take the life of the wax to make your own burn bright.” I pulled the melting candle away and held out my arm. “I wish to see what youre power is like.” A drop of melted wax fell to my skin. It burned like a needle on fire. but then it cooled. I felt my pain leave me as the wax cooled. The red wax looked like blood on my skin. I left the small drop there and melted more wax. The bigger drops pulled my pain and made my arm feel like a dragon with blood red scales. The smaller drop felt like a burning pin prick and cooled to nothing. I strived to get the bigger drops as they fell to the candle. “Yes my fire melt it and give the power to master.” the more I burned the candle the more I wanted it. Bigger drops of bloody fire! Warmer wax across my cold empty skin!
I picked up the candle and looked at the wax in the container. I was ready to take the life of the dulling flame to get the feeling I wanted.
I was attacked. Arms wrapped around my neck from behind. I dropped my candle and the wax jumped out to the floor. The flame fell out and still burned.
“Sin! Fight me! I will slaughter you with every inch of my blades!”
I looked to my enemy and found Dot standing with fear in her eyes.
“Dot? No. No no no. Youre a trick here to lay with my head and kill me! I wont let you!” I dropped to the ground and started to cry. “I won't let you. I have to save her.”
Dot sat down with me and pulled me into her arms.
I sat in dots arms and cried. I have lost everything and now I even try to attack the one person I am set to save. I have to save myself before I can get Dot back.
I blanked out.
“NO!”
“NO!”
“NO!”
