Chapter Thirty: Famine's Return
The sloth's face was screwed up as if she had a sour lemon stuck into her mouth. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'll be retreating, for now. But don't think you've won, any of you." She found Holly with her crimson eyes once more. "And if you do make Lust shed a single tear, I'll follow through the rest of my promise. You can be sure of that."
Dagon scowled as the sloth vanished. "I should have known that sloth would be a coward here too." He turned his attention to Holly, completely ignoring Angel. "Are you okay? She didn't hurt you did she?"
Holly shook her head. "She was obsessed with Eros. A bit more than I expected. We should keep an eye on him or she might go after him."
Angel snorted. "Good riddance."
Holly turned toward him. "Excuse me?" she demanded.
Angel blinked. "Good riddance to a Sin?" he responded. "Come on, you can't be soft for him too. I dealt with enough of that when it came to Acacia! The sins are evil, you can't trust th

Famine led her to yet another secluded room and took a seat at the desk as he nodded for her to take the normal seat. "I assume you want to know how I found her before you give me any serviceable information?" he questioned.Holly scowled. "You know I do."He nodded once. "When I found her Death and her in that trance she's in. I don't know if she'll awaken, but my guess would be no. I sense a spell on her, and if it doesn't break she might be exposed to an unpleasant truth. I'd wager she's been set up as a trap for us, which is why I'm not allowing you to be alo

Holly didn't care if Famine came after her or not. She turned the idea over and over in her mind like a puzzle cube. If she trusted him, everything could fall apart. Famine had reminded her of one thing, his father was the prince of lies.She got to Ruby's side and relief washed over her, a tangible sense of it as she dropped to her knees. Ruby was up, leaning against Dagon, but up.Ruby smiled as she noticed her. "Hey," she greeted with a weak wave.

Angel looked up as the group walked in. He gave Holly a searching look before he dragged his attention to the one suffering. "What's going on?" he demanded.Eros took it upon himself to answer. A fact which Holly was grateful for. She really didn't want to talk to this cabbit any longer than she had to. She was not a fan of him."The reapers need you to cast a barrier spell. You still can manage that right? Something like the one you used to keep me and the other sins away from Acacia?"

Angel nodded to her as she got Quix to a spot. "Huh, that's interesting," he walked closer to the reaper. "He's not the normal type," he announced. He turned his attention to Atropos and scowled. "What are you doing here?""I've already gone through that with Tydeus, you two really need to stop with all the instant Fate hating. I'm on your side you know."Angel snorted. "I doubt that. You guys are the one that forced her into this in the first place."

"I told you I'm worried more this time than the last," Dagon argued. "What are we going to do?""I don't care what you do, all I know is I'm going to protect her no matter what," Tydeus replied. "That's all that matters, I don't care who it comes down to. She comes first.""Guys?" Holly asked as she knocked on the door.Both whirled at her voice.

Holly told herself that the reason she followed Eros back was that she worried about him. She worried about Quix as well and Ruby, but right now she had to make sure that Eros was taken care of. She's almost lost him, forever.And why? Because of a decision her soul's ancestors had made ages ago that had nothing to do with her. She really hated the gods."I can hear you back there." Eros glanced back at her over his shoulder. The usual sparkle in his eyes was dim. "You can stop following me. I'm fine."

If Holly had any questions on why no one tried to stop her, it was all explained when she reached the outside of the building. Skeletons, more than she could ever count, swarmed over it. They climbed through the windows, they beat down the doors, they clawed through the wall until their bones chipped away.As she walked through, they let her pass. There were so many of the skeletal warriors that Holly couldn't even begin to see the others through it. Her eyes roamed to the upper floors. Would Quix be okay by himself? Would Eros?M

The walls closed in on her, and Holly stared straight into those oh-so-very-red-eyes of Lucifer. "I can't do that," she whispered. All she could think about was having a tryst with this man, no this devil. And doing that would not be worth giving up everything else. These couldn't be her thoughts."This is the fastest way for me to consume that soul of yours, the one that keeps bringing you problems. It will be stripped away like flesh from bone."The hairs on Holly's arms rose at the words. Just the idea of what he was saying sent a shiver through her and she backed up on the bed. There was nowhere to run here.
