Alexandrite

Chapter One

Cold. My eyes slowly open and I look around. I realize in the process of sleeping I managed to throw my blanket off my bed leaving me in just my oversized baggy t-shirt and pink pastel panties. I let out a sigh as my alarm starts blaring. I hit it softly. I stare at my ceiling trying to find my motivation for the day. Finally I get up and go to my closet.

I look through all my shirts. I settle on pulling out a white cozy looking turtle neck and a long tan coat. Suddenly, she shows up. I sigh and look over at the entity I had just accidentally summoned. The truth, I didn't summon her, sometimes they just like showing up on their own.

"Yes Lust?" I asked. Yes, Lust. The, Lust. You probably know her from the emotion. Well this entity is actually a part of the Seven Deadly Sins. The other members include, Pride, Greed, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath, and Sloth. Of course I am well acquainted with all of them. I'm well acquainted in the sense that they think my body is their home. They stay around me, waiting to be summoned.

"You aren't going to wear that? It's spring Elise!! You can finally show some skin!! You'll be blooming into your body just like all the flowers outside!!" Lust drags sounding tired as if she has had to explain this more than once. My face goes slightly red from the thought of blooming, as she put it. I shake my head "Lust... it's still a bit chilly, besides school does have a dress code, so I can't go out in anything scandalous."

She rolls her black eyes and pushes her long dark hair over her shoulder. Lust looks just as you'd think she'd look. She had a beautiful face with dark eyes, pale skin, red lips, tiny nose, and long eyelashes. Her hair was almost as black as her eyes, it extended down with a bit of curl and traveled to her midwaist. Her body was curvy. She had a skinny waist but large hips. Above her waist was a set of double Ds in a push up bra. Her legs were slender and perfectly waxed. She always wore a tight black dress that stopped mid-thigh. It had no sleeves and barely a back. If Lust wasn't a magiacally entity I would wonder how she even kept the dress up.

"Oh, is someone staring?" She slowly walks closer to me. My face feels hot and I quickly avert my eyes. She lets out a seductive giggle. She places a hand gently on my shoulder and leans down to my ear. She whispers quietly. "I have to go now, we will finish this later." With that she disappears. I let out a breath I hadn't realized I was holding and the tension leaves the room.

Lust always does that. Leaves on a cliffhanger. I finish getting ready, keeping the cozy turtle neck and jacket. I pair it with dark skinny jeans and deep brown boots. I open the door to my bedroom, greeted with the smell of freshly made pancakes. Hunger claws at my stomach.

I could feel Gluttonys power growing stronger. A side effect of having this relationship with the sins is if I feel an emotion that resembles their sin they could be summoned and try to control me. It is as if I become the sin.

That is why I have to control my emotions. I slowly head towards the kitchen and see my mother cooking quietly. Her blonde hair is in a bun and she is wearing her pink apron. Her blue eyes find my hazel ones and a gentle smile forms on her face.

"Hello dear. I've made breakfast. The food is over there." She points to a counter with plates of food on it. My mother is neat and gentle. It is as if an angel fell to earth and decided to be my mother. She never yells or speaks loudly, I don't think I've ever seen her angry.

I walk over to the food and grab a small portion, not letting gluttony get the better of me. I sit at the table and eat slowly trying to push down the immense need to swallow the food whole.

My father enters the room. If my mother is an angel, he is a devil. He is dressed in a suit and is holding a briefcase. He always tends to be mad about something. I don't understand how he ever got with my mother. Though it seems he has a soft spot for her. Not that it matters he is always out of the house, at work or on a buisness trip. He is a salesman for some big company, so he has to leave to other states to sell whatever it is his company selled.
