The Seven Deadly Sins

Chapter Three~

Chapter Three~
    The deep purple surrounds me, It’s a blank purple room. Another door waits in the back. Probably when we leave. Purple, purple, purple. The only thing in the room that isn’t purple is the color of the clothing and the screen on the ceiling,
    Lust = 7/50
    Envy= 1/50
    Avarice= 4/50
    Vanity=8/50
    Wrath= 5/50
    Sloth= 10/50
    Gluttony= 7/50
Total Of Initiates who’ve chosen= 42/50
Total Of Transferred Initiates= 24/42
Total Of Un-Transferred Initiates= 18/42
    Just as I expected. Envy wouldn’t have that many initiates. In which it means that the person who transferred will automatically be offered a spot in Envy. Because four people who are the most committed to their sin may have a spot. Same goes for Avarice. But not for long because two more people go to Avarice, one born, one transferred. I’m in a room with three Lusts, one Gluttony who isn’t Nelson.  And three Avarice. Here we go seeing the numbers flash next to the according sins. Lust, Lust, Sloth, Envy… surprise, then a Sloth walks into the room. Then Nelson walks in. I turn around and hug him tightly. The guard holding a gun looks to see if he flinches. But he doesn’t I can tell he’s truly committed to being in this colony.
    “I was getting worried.” I say, I sigh in his arms.
Nelson looks at me and sooths me by combing his fingers through our hands. One fifth of the people who were out there are now Vanity initiates. But none of the beautiful prim people who were colored with purple are in the room. I feel a chill run down my spine. Then a boy, beautiful and perfect walks into the back door with a woman, also perfect looking, but more severe. Her eyebrows in a sharp arch. Almost a little to perfect and I stare at them in fascination in amazement, trying to figure out if they’re tattoos. Her hair is shoulder length and cut into a sharp line. And she wears a purple t-shirt and purple jeggings.
    “Hello, my name is Diamond, and this here is August. We are the Vanity leaders and are happy you decided to join us. But as you all know, not all of you will make it. We will test you, and day by day, night by night. Your numbers will wind down to four people. Ten out of four, that’s a little less than half of you and don’t think we aren’t afraid to pull the trigger if any of you throw the slightest hint you aren’t vain. Now before we begin our first part of initiation. I want all of you to watch a video on the Vanity.” She smirks and presses play on a eggplant colored remote. I better get used to this purple real fast. First it shows a beautiful man and women, tinged in the colors of Sloth and Envy, but then smiling at the sight of them in the mirror. You can tell they feel depressed and that they know they don’t fit in their colony. They finally grow up and they become more vain, and with the more vain they get, the more they get transformed. Purple hair, purple eyes, and for the women, purple stained lips. They look in the mirrors and they smile, flashing perfect white teeth. I look at the lusts. Oh great the one girl with the bra and panties from this morning is here. She looks at the video in amazement. I sigh and blow up a strand of my hair. Then I look at the screen and see the two people are in love. And the video turns to text. The Vanity amble shows,
We are the Vain, We are Beautiful and more elegant then the earth itself. We shall be vain. Tinged in purple, smiling in the mirror at our every move. We love ourselves more than our family, our friends and we shall always think of ourselves before other people and take pride in our achievements.
    It finally turns back to black and Diamond smirks, “Let’s play.”
