^^that is Christian (replace red eyes with brown)^^

I throw the door open and see Lust standing in one corner, Christian has a broken glass table between them. They both turn to look at me.

I'm scanning Lust for any sign of injury before accepting he's fine and turning to Christian,

"Wrath, nice to finally meet you." My voice is snappy enough to make Lust flinch. Wrath looks at me with narrowed eyes,

"Just like any other female out there. You're no special just because you found The Mustard Seed." I snort,

"Are you Wrath or Anxiety?" He sighs and sits back down in his chair as the table starts to build itself back. Lust looks between us,

"Girl, do me a favor will ya'?" I glare at Lust,

"And why do I owe a pervert a favor?" Lust rolls his eyes,

"Oooo, name calling. Like I haven't heard that before." Chri- Wrath is playing on his phone,

"Get a room." I close the door behind me,

"Got one. Now leave Christian alone." He doesn't even look up,

"No." I raise an eyebrow,

"I'm sorry, where in there was there room to argue about it?" Out of the corner of my eye I see Lust quietly sitting down and pulling out a random box of popcorn. Wrath snickers and starts playing music really loud,

"Sorry, what was that?" My fists clench and I have to take another breath.

Calm down. He knows what your pet peeves are, he will do anything to get you angry.

I open my eyes again only to see him smacking popcorn and speaking with his mouth full. I have no idea what he's saying because I snap.

To my great surprise, Lust is suddenly holding my elbow. Probably the only thing keeping me from tearing this little piece of-

"Calm down, Puppet." I freeze.

Ignore that Lust just called you 'puppet' and listen to him, Minette. You were just about to literally strangle Zuri's little brother.

WWJD?

What would Jesus do?

I take a deep breath and close my eyes,

"I command you, leave this boy's body and do not return." The vial is hot and my hands unclench themselves. A calming sensation fills the space anger was just in. Lust releases my elbow and stands behind me, I can feel his presence like calming waves of...

...protection. What Wrath said before echoes in my head:

"Why did you leave your family for some brat?! No emotion has ever left Fear's side willingly!!"

He can't go home.

I'm pushed back into the present as there are suddenly two Christians in the room. One looks at the other,

"Dang it. I was starting to enjoy that." The other is holding his head and groaning,

"What just happened?" I walk over and kneel in front of the one that doesn't make me want to kill something,

"Hey there, you remember me?" The five year old eyes meet mine,

"Uh, Emily? No wait.... something with an -ette." I smile faintly and nod,

"Minette. Do you remember anything that just occurred Christian?" He shakes his head, the messy brown hair falling into his eyes,

"No....?" I ignore Lust dragging the other very loud, protesting Wrath out of the room,

"You were very angry and snapped at me. You wanted to purposely infuriate others. Do we do that in this household?" He shakes his head again and looks down,

"Mommy won't like that..." I pat his knee,

"It will be our secret if you can do something for me. Okay?" He nods eagerly,

"Okay! What do I do?" A faint light glows from the seed and he looks at it, eyes wide. I pick up the vial in my hand and hold it between us,

"You see that?" He nods very slowly,

"It's pretty..." I nod,

"It is. I would like you to keep some of its light," I poke his chest, "in there. You think you can do that?" He puts a hand over the spot I poked him,

"My heart?" I laugh a little and nod again,

"Yes. It will keep you from having that nasty anger feeling again." He look up at me and smiles,

"Okay." The light slides through the vial's glass and hovers towards him, then sinks into his chest.

I could instantly see the change.

He smiles more and his eyes sparkle as he giggles. I laugh with him,

"You feel better?" He nods,

"Yes ma'am! I feel happy!" I rub his head as I stand,

"Christian, that is the Holy Spirit you feel. The one you learned about in church. The Holy Spirit protects you from all the horrible feelings you may have, and if you're ever scared, then you close your eyes and pray. The Lord will answer." Despite him being five, he looks like he understands it all,

"Thank you Miss Minette." I smile,

"You wanna go tell your sister?" He jumps out of the chair and aruns down the hallway as an answer. I notice Lust is leaning against the doorframe, watching me with a smile.

I swear my heart just stopped.

"Wrath is waiting with Tranquil. Come along, we don't have all day." He pushes off the wall and stands there, waiting on me. I walk past him,

"Then why stop?" He chuckles knowingly and says nothing.

What the crap does he know?

He is behind me when we walk into the living room and I hear Chris telling Zuri about lights. With a smile spreading across my face, I walk out the door.

I'll let him explain that to her.

Lust is silent until we are almost home,

"You know, I haven't tried anything on you in a while." I look over my shoulder at him,

"What are you talking about?" He grins evil and puts his hands in his pockets, his shape changing,

"This." He turns into Zuko and smirks. I promptly turn on my heel and walk faster,

"No." Already I can feel my face starting to heat up.

And to think I was worried about him being hurt.

Oh crap.

I was worried for him.
