JEZEBEL'S PERSPECTIVE
"Look at what I brought with me. His master sold him for money. He told me to do whatever I wanted with him." -Greed
I don't know what to do. I'm terrified of them. But I need to show that I'm not afraid. I need them to think that I'm happy to be in their hands, even if deep down, my fear is overwhelming.
"Can I eat him?" -Gluttony
M-me? Eat me?
"He's mine. I won't share him with you!" Greed's eyes flared as he stared at Gluttony, who looked like he was ready to devour me.
"I am Jezebel, ten years old. Thank you for buying me from my master," I said, forcing a smile.
I had to show them I was happy, but I knew my eyes couldn't hide the terror that gripped me. I could feel it deep inside, gnawing at me, even though I tried to seem composed.
"What are you going to do with that human child? Don't you feel ashamed bringing him into our kingdom?" -Envy
"Are you jealous, my dear brother Envy? Don't forget, I'm Greed. I take everything. Everything will be mine." Greed grinned, his eyes glinting with ambition as he looked at Envy.
"Hey, human! What are you smiling about? Stop smiling!" -Lust
Slowly, Lust approached me. I couldn't move. My feet felt glued to the ground. Panic crept through me as his gaze burned into my soul.
"What are you going to do to him, Lust?!" -Greed
Suddenly, Lust punched me hard in the stomach. The pain was unbearable, and I collapsed to the ground, gasping for air.
"Stop it, Lust!" Greed shouted, grabbing Lust's arm to prevent him from hitting me again.
"Let go of me, Greed! Let me tear this brat apart!" -Lust
I couldn't look at them anymore. The fear was suffocating. But I forced myself to keep smiling, even though every inch of me wanted to scream or run.
"Lust is right, Greed. Look at him. He's still smiling, even after being hurt. Weird. If I wasn't so lazy, I might have killed him myself." -Sloth
I tried to stand up, but I gasped when blood spilled from my mouth, splattering onto the floor. A new wave of dread swept over me. I stained their kingdom's floor with my blood. I ripped a piece of cloth from my skirt and started wiping the blood.
"What do you think you're-" Lust's voice cut off as I scrambled to clean up the mess.
"I'm sorry, my lords. I'm so sorry. I'll clean it without rest. I beg you, please don't hurt me. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." My hands shook as I wiped the floor, blood still dripping from my mouth.
"Do you really think that's enough?" -Pride
A voice, cold and menacing, echoed from somewhere, though I couldn't tell where it came from. But the sound of it alone chilled me to my core.
"Why don't you come out and show yourself, Pride?" -Sloth
"I won't waste my time on a worthless human." -Pride
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry," I kept muttering, my voice cracking under the weight of fear.
"Stop it, Jezebel!" -Greed
I kept scrubbing the floor. "I'm sorry. I won't cry, my lords. Just please don't kill me."
"Are you afraid of us?" -Greed
"Yes, my lord. I'm terrified of you. But I want to live, so I'll do anything you command. I'm afraid that if I stop cleaning, you'll kill me. I'll serve you well. I beg you, please don't kill me." I couldn't bring myself to look at them, my fear too great. But I still forced myself to smile.
