《a new world to call home, as sloths representative》9. Insult to injury
Advertisement
What a fine predicament I find myself in. A possibility of more monsters coming for us. Im out of stamina, and from the sound of it were out numbered.
I can spit curses on them to slow them down enough so Astrel and Sophie could at least get out. But I dont know the range of that skill. The same goes for my cry of wind skill, but I don't want to give up here.
"I'll buy some time," I forced my body up as my muscles cried out, and my body trembling from the force I was placing on it.
"What? But, Miss Lee-"
"Astrel.... you escort Sophie to the village....help her get home..... Alright.... I would like...to keep a promise for once..." My vision was getting foggy, and I cluched my chest hard.
"YOU CHEAP GOBLIN FUCKS WANT SOME MORE!! THEN COME AT ME YOU DICKLESS C-"
Before I could say the last word I felt something pierce through me. I fell to my knees as i felt my weight triple.
Im scared right now, like I could piss myself. But I don't wanna die. I really don't want to die. But I dont want to break my promise
Forcing myself to look at Sophies's terrified face. I whispered one word before everything went black.
"Run..."

"Hmm..." Sloth was observing his representative through a flat screen tv in his half cleaned apartment like room.
"Oh whats this?" Slender arms wrapped lovingly around his neck, with breast pushed against the back of his head." Did your rep die first? Again?" She snickered.
"Piss off Lust," he glared up at a very beautiful women. With sparling blue eyes and long midnight blue hair.
"Now, now theres no need to be cranky. Would you like me to comfort you?"

"Im not going to sleep with you. I'm the only one you didn't screw and I like to keep it that way." He removed her arms and glared.
"And here I was offering my condolences." She pouted." She was a friend of my representative you know."
"Sorry to disappoint, but mine isn't dead."
"Really?!" She rose her voice in shock.
"The only one to survive for a whole month?"
"She has a better chance then Your's, Pride's and Envy's."
"Tsk. Don't remind me. The damn church stuck its nose to our game again," she hissed. "But the church is already having a handfull with my rep. If it wasnt for Pride's representative she would of already have left the church."
"Can you go complain to anyone else."
"It should matter to you, since Pride's representative is someone who can take your's down easily."
"If I were you I'd worry more about Gluttony's rep. Their already farther ahead then all the others."
"Your danm right," a burly man with a thick black bearded enterd sloths domains.
"For fucks sake, can't you knock before coming in here!"
"Then keep the doors locked."
"You two keep breaking in anyway!" He sighed already exhausted," If you've come to boast, do it anywhere else and take lust with you."
"Oh come now sloth, our representatives are friends with yours their no harm in it," Lust smiled.
"Well I don't want your fake friendship, now get out!" The room contorted and twisted as the two sins immediately left.
"So annoying..." He slouched on him comfy couch starting off to his screen. At this point his representative was being surrounded. "I wonder what she'll do next," a light smile fell on his face.

"He is so rude," lust whined.
"But he can be as dangerous as wrath when he's angry. You may have teased him a bit too much."
"Thats no it. I think hes grown very intrested of his representative. Apparently she's still alive."
"I would imagine," gluttony chuckled." She was a canadet for me and wrath also. But sloth chose her in the end."
"Why though? Did he find a preference for ugly cows?"
"You have a preference for tragic individuals."
"Tsk. Whatever. Sloths rep won't last long anyway they never do." She scoffed.

Strong hot light kept pouring over my face. I found myself snuggling deeper into fluffy cool clouds escaping the harsh light. I wanna stay like this a bit longer, in my fluffy cloud.
"Wake up! Wake up!"
No! I wanna stay with my cloud. I don't want to leave! Go away!
But I felt something yank at my cloud. I wanted to pull back, but my arms felt weak. When the cloud was yanked from me the strong light engulfed me.
"My eyes!" I called out, sitting up to find myself somewhere diffrent. The room was huge, and interior seemed classy but like Victorianish. Looking at myself I had on different clothes, like a night gown? My feet were bandaged, and i had a lone chain cuff on my right wrist.
"What the fuck?"
"Mmm!"
I turned and looked down at a super short blanked ghost. Oh I guess all of that wasn't a dream... I gentle removed the planked off a small child. They had a yellow triangle like tatoo on their forehead, slightly covered by his golden brown curles. He wore a loose shirt, and bagging brown pants. And looked at up at me with sparkling hasel eyes.
"...hey buddy. Watcha doing?" I asked feeling awkward.
He smiled that I felt the room brightened. He climbed up the bed with his little body. This kid didn't even look older then three, by his small size. But he mangaed to climb up to me and hug me.
"Oh... Um.. Thanks?" I patted his head gingerly. Why is this child here?
"Umm. Hey where are your parents, or gardian,"
He looked at me confused. But pointed at me smiling.
"Huh?"
Wait how long have I been out of it? Was I in a coma? Did someone rape me, and I gave birth? What the shit happened!!
"Astrel are you in here again?" The door from the furthest side of the room opened. With Sophie in a more doctor like appearance.
She looked at me, and the child who wrapped himself on my arm.
"Miss Lee! Your awake!" She rushed up to me hugging me no different from the small child did .
"Sophie? Where-"
"The villigers from the village, came when they heard fighting from where we were. Luckly the villagers knew who I was, so they took us to my home. However they were very hesitant with you." She explained." Thats when Astrel scared them into it."
"...how? Astrel is a cute little puff of fluff. How is that horrifying?"
"Well.." She looked down at the little boy.
"Oh right," I pointed to him." Who's kid is this?"
"Huh?"
"He was in here when i woke up. So-"
"That is Astrel,"
"What?"
