What Wrath did next surprised me more than anything that has ever happened to me.

"I get you," Wrath spoke, as if he was in a trance, "I know what's it like to live without love. I was created in that chalice, by the blood of Lucifer. Anything created in Malum, which is the name of the chalice, is evil. Malum literally translates into evil. I was pieced together for the sole purpose of evil. I was treated like shit. I know what's it like to live with the image of fake love."

Listening to what Wrath said touched my heart. He kept going, "I never had a childhood. I never had a mother so I can never feel the love of a parent. Lucifer doesn't qualify as a father. He hated me and I hated him. The only people I had were my brothers so I get why you love the church boy so much. I've never felt any other emotion besides Wrath for years because of the way Lucifer treated me. I can never understand what you went through but I know what you felt when hate was all around you."

I wanted to ask what Lucifer did to him but something told me not to. I looked at his face, drowned in the past, illuminated by the sunshine. I noticed his eyes sparkling with unshed tears. My heart pained for him. I placed my hand on top of his which made him look at me.

"Life gets better, Wrath. It does. I've learnt so much in my life because of my sadness. I've learnt the difference between loneliness and being alone. I've learnt that life gets better. I've learnt to be strong."

He looked at me and smiled. Not a smirk, a genuine smile, "I have never told this to the guys. It was always uncomfortable to talk about this with them, but it was nice telling it to you."

I wanted to hug him but I heard someone call my name. He removed his hand from under mine and we walked towards the person who called.

"Every country has a Seer," Envy stated.

"Some countries have more," Sloth added.

"Do you know any countries that have a lot of demonic activities?" Greed asked.

"No I don't! I don't spend my free time googling demonic areas!" I retorted.

"Googling?" Lust asked.

"Yeah Google. It's a search engine on the Internet," I explained.

They all looked at me confused. I got out my laptop and explain what Google was. They all looked like they were introduced to a whole new world.

I did some research on the topics and told them everything that fit their description.

"Wait, what is that?" Wrath said, pointing to some church.

"That's the church of Satan. A religious organisation dedicated to satanism," I informed.

"That seems like a good place to start. Where is it?" He asked.

"San Francisco, California."

"Great! Let's go!" Sloth suggested, "right after a nap!"

"We need money for a plane ticket, or we can drive there! There is one issue though, I can't drive. Joshua has to take us."

All the seven sins groaned and rolled their eyes. Wrath and Lust seemed more annoyed at Joshua joining us. It seems they were desperate to find the chalice so they agreed.

***

It took me quite some time to convince Joshua to take us, but he eventually agreed. He is a temporary youth pastor so he has an RV, which can fit about fifteen people. At nine in the morning, the next day, Joshua called us out and we saw the Cathedral of Promise's van in front of our house. I've been in the CPRV, which is what we call the recreational vehicle, multiple times because I've joined Joshua on many trips all across America. Joshua is the kind of person to plan out things in detail so he hurried us into the car and began to explain.

"Right! So here's is the game plan! By my very accurate calculations, it would take us seven days to reach there if we drive for six hours per day, but-"

"That would take too long, Church Boy. We need to reach there faster. How does 3 days sound?" Greed informed.

Joshua's eyes widened in shock and said, "t-that means I need to be driving for 12 hours!"

"Calm it, chu-" Wrath looked at me, "Calm it, Lust and I know how to drive as well. You drive for four hours and I'll drive for four and so will Lust. Okay?"

Joshua remained silent and Wrath added, "we won't crash your car or kill you, don't worry."

Joshua finally agreed but I couldn't wrap my head around something, "how come you guys know how to drive?"

Lust explained, "whenever we come on the Halloween, someone has to take us around. I have my ways in convincing people to lend over their cars," he smirked.

"Okay, so since we are going to finish this trip in three days, we have to go from New York to Illinois and then to Nebraska, which takes about twenty two hours. Then we have to go from Nebraska to Colorado and then to Arizona which takes about seventeen hours. Lastly, we have to go from Arizona to Nevada and then California, which takes about twelve hours."

Lust and Wrath listened intensively to what Joshua said and nodded once they understood. For the first hour of our ride Joshua explained how the GPS works to the two boys. I sat at the back of his RV looking at the world pass by. I've seen New York hundreds of times but the skyline never failed to impress me.

After three hours of driving, it started to get boring. I sat in the front with Joshua and whined to him, "Josh! I'm bored!"

"What do you want to do?" he asked.

I looked behind and asked the sins, "do you guys have any demonic games you play in Hell?"

Someone suggested playing I spy, which is the most mundane game ever, but soon we had to stop because Wrath had punched Greed in the arm for cheating. Sloth had fallen asleep and Gluttony complained that he was hungry. We made a fuel stop at the gas station and Gluttony began to make food appear out of thin air. Lust had gone into the gas station and came back holding cash. He definitely had his ways with people.

Next we hit the road, and Wrath began to drive. Joshua and Sloth had fallen asleep. Greed, Envy and Pride were talking in a foreign language I didn't comprehend. Gluttony and Lust were looking out the window, while chewing on some food.

I looked at Wrath, "what language do you speak?"

"Its a mixture of Demoniac and Latin."

"S-say something in your language."

"Tu es ita sunt pulchra"

"What does that mean?"

"You are so..." he hesitated, "annoying."

I was about to say something when we were interrupted by, "take the roundabout at the second exit."

***

Wrath drove for eight hours straight, and we had enough fuel but Wrath suggested we stretch our legs. When Lust began to drive, everyone had fallen asleep except me.

"You should sleep Maia," Lust said.

"I'm good. Otherwise you'll be alone."

"Maia, don't worry about me. You should get some rest."

"Nope!" I persisted, "so tell me something about you."

"Well, as surprising as it may seem, I haven't lost my virginity yet."

I was about to yell but I realized everyone was asleep, "no way!"

"Yeah, I've never found someone I was willing to give up something like that."

"But you made other people do that."

"If it isn't me, why should I care?" Lust looked at me, "I'm sorry, that was harsh. I mean I do care, but I was raised to ignore that."

"Have you dated?"

"Many girls."

"How many?"

"Darling, I was alive for a 100 million years. You do the math."

"Oh." I don't know why I felt disappointed at that. I looked at him and his eyes were the normal shade of brown so he wasn't using his powers.

"What about you? Have you had a boyfriend?" he paused, "or girlfriend?"

"No, I've never had a boyfriend. I mean, everyone wants someone in their lives eventually, but I haven't met anyone yet."

I began to yawn and Lust noticed, "go to bed Maia."

I didn't listen so he pulled over, got up and lifted me up.

"Lust, put me down!"

He ignored my constant attempts after escaping and brought me to an empty bed. Instead of aggressively throwing me on the bed, he gently placed me on the mattress and covered me with the blanket.

"Good night Maia."

"Good Night pulchra."

"W-what did you call me?"

"Wrath said it meant annoying..."

Lust just laughed and began to drive again.
