Introduction
You may have heard some of the stories that they tell you about what lurks in the night. That supernatrual beings like demons and angels are fighting each other without our knowing on the human world. The truth is they can't fight each other; they make us do it for them. There are certian people that they choose, some are born into it and others are just the lucky SOB's to have some angel or demon notice them and make them do the job.
These angels call it a blessing and at first it is. Knowing you have the power and having something that made you different, makes it so great at first. But that's only the beginning, then you find out that you are in a bigger twist of plots that they never told you about. Even angels seem to have their tricks up their sleeves, part of the job description I guess.
Lets start out with the war. There are seven deadly sins and seven virtues. The sins being: greed, gluttony, lust, wrath, sloth, envy, and pride. There are..... what should I say..... Gaurdians, or masters of these sins. They are the ones that tempt you most when it comes to being a servant over a certian sin. Every thosand years they get to choose a person they think best suits there sin or virtue and change them, granting them powers to head bash their enemy.
We are all part of their little chess game; humans.... I bet they both have fun. The angels I think are the worst, they trick you when you think they are supposed to be great beings you look up to. Ah, yes the virtues! I almost forgot, the seven virtues are: faith, hope, charity, fortitude, justice, temperance, and prudence....
Me being "gifted" from the angel of charity. I will remember, if I ever get out of this alive, to GIVE him a punch in the face. Now here I am with gluttony as my opponent and he is stronger than me! I see the demons make sure to give some useful powers to there chosen ones....
I guess I shouldn't say that mine aren't useful too.... But thats too far in the game. Lets start out at the beginning where I was nicely picked out by an angel. I guess you could say I was special, but after this I don't want to be special. So I will start a little bit before I met my virtue angel.....

Cool, it is interesting and I want to read more. Um, if you would like to know originally there were 8 Deadly Sins. Slothfulness used to be two different Sins. Also it is considered the most deadly of all the Sins. (I did a report on it, and saw a tv special about it). Um... that is about all I have to say. I am kinda sad that the angels aren't too good in this story, but then again that does make it more interesting so oh well.

Chapter One
A Mistake
My name is Gwen, I'm tall for fifteen or so my friends say, wear my long curly black hair down, and have green eyes. I wear whatever I find comfortable really I am not into fashion like most girls. My two former best friends were named Dez and Ash. Sadly I guess the demons and angels set their eyes on the same group of people. Or maybe we were all chosen ones, who knows? But lets save that for later.
Ash, he was taller than me by a head, he had firey red hair that was shoulder length, that he straightened everyday to wear down, with his unique choice of clothes that he patched up himself with nice logos from bands and songs. He had nice blue eyes that you could get lost in for hours. He always made the best jokes and had a nice warm smile. If you couldn't tell I liked him. Me and him had liked eachother for some years now, but none of us ever got the guts to tell eachother. They always say that if you date in friendship and break off it will never be the same and I didn't want to take that chance, he probably thought the same. Dez was more of a quiet one, she had shoulder length brown hair that she usually wore up in a small pony tail or left down when she didn't want to bother.
She also had very pale blue eyes that I would kill for. I never knew how she really felt but I always thought of her as cool. Guess I never knew her as much as I thought.... We had homework study groups where we didn't even study at all, we mostly gossiped. I remember our last get together like it was yesterday...
"So, Dez who is your lucky guy?" I asked.
"Ummmm...." She fumbled around nervously.
"Come on who is it? It isn't me is it?" Ash said jokingly getting a laugh out of us all.
"Well you all probably don't know him he is kinda secluded..."
"Come on give us a name!" I said wondering who this guy was.
"His name is Klen Wilkinson."
"Hmmmmm... think I have seen him around..." Ash started to ponder.
"Really!?" Dez said startled.
"Yeah, pretty quiet and reads alot of books. Sounds like a perfect match." Ash teased Dez a bit about her book reading all the time.
"Do you really think so?" Dez was hopeful not getting Ash's teasing.
"I think you should give it a shot, get to know him and maybe he will start to like you." I encouraged.
Ash changed the subject to let her ponder over Klen,"So who is your lucky guy?" The tone he used hinted at me and him together which wasn't rare for him to do he seemed more and more inclined to get me to tell him I like him. Which made me nervous and maybe if I hadn't of done this he wouldn't have gone down the path he did...."Well ummmm........."
Ash raised one of his eyebrows waiting for an answer."Is he pretty popular?" He said trying to guess at this mystery man. Flustered and put on the spot I just said the first person who popped in my mind, "Well his name is Jessi."
"You mean that biker guy?" Ash questioned sounding a little hurt.
"Yeah him." Now, in case you didn't catch on I really didn't like Jessi at all, but I couldn't think of anyone else. It was far from what he probably wanted to compete against. This guy Jessi, with tattoos and a gang all on his own. He was well liked by the girls who like danger but I wasn't anything like that.
Maybe thats why it hurt Ash so much to hear it, because I couldn't confess in front of him and my best friend, that I liked him..... Ash..... I am sorry.... But before he or I could say anything my dad came into my room,"Ok, non-study group is over, time for your guys to go home."
"Okay, bye you guys." I waved at them not really having my heart into it.
Dez got up and waved goodbye and left without raeally any words. Ash tried to act okay, I guess, because he put up a fake smile and waved a small wave bye and left. "Time for dinner Gwen." My dad said.
"Okay I will be down stairs in a minute."
"Okay." He left the door cracked as he went downstairs into the kitchen. I could hear the faint thud of the door close as my friends left to walk to their own houses to eat. I ate my pasta dinner quickly and my dad wasn't really wanting to talk and I was too into thought about Ash and my embarassment to really want to strike up a conversation so dinner was quite uneventful. Working through the dishes I decided halfway through one dish to take a shower after I was done with them all. When I took my shower and finally got relaxed for the night I finished my math homework that we had actually started to help eachother on when we decided it was more fun to gossip and ask eachother stupid questions then to do boring homework and studying. Making me feel guilty about how I had fumbled over myself when Ash pretty much asked me if I had liked him. I was hoping he didn't remember about it tomorrow morning.

Chapter 2
Tearing Apart
I was running out the door for the bus when I got into my seat and sat down. Dez wasn't in a talkitive mood just like always she had her head stuck in a book for her daily morning reading. Ash seemed to be in a more foul mood then ever, it was rare for him to be so put out. I tried to start a conversation with him but he just answered the questions with short undescriptive answers and went on with what he was doing. Which seemed to be ignoring me and not looking my direction but out the window at the houses we passed every school day....
I decided to let it all blow over and give Ash his space. I think it would have worked if some damn... *cough* divine intervention didn't get in the way. I suppose thats how life is though. I really liked Ash but I was scared to ruin the friendship I wanted to explain that to him, but I was painfully shy when it came to that. I've seen it happen before, it never works out once you date a friend to go back to being a friend again if the relationship doesn't seem to be what they hoped for.
When we got to school and into our classroom our first hour we at least shared thanks to being able to plan our schedules the correct way without making the office people suspicious.
"So Dez what are you doing this weekend?" I decided to talk to her and interrupt her reading just to stop the dead silence between us.
"Oh nothing really exciting...." Dez was a bit irratated at being interrupted in her book.
"You want to go to the arcade and play DDR after school today?" Ash loved to go to the arcade, if it seemed I offered her maybe he would say he would tag along and come out of his shell and talk.
Dez frowned,"You know I don't like that game. Take Ash he loves to play just like you do." It appeared Dez didn't get the idea and didn't notice the silence that was between me and Ash at the moment.
I scolded Dez in my mind but Ash was sitting in his desk pretending not to hear our conversation. "I think Ash might be doing something this weekend. Though if he wants I would be glad for him to come."
Ash just brushed it off,"I am busy..."
I nodded solemly,"Okay."
Sighing I started to pay attention to class since I had nothing better to do. After getting back home I sat down at my desk that my dad had gotten my so I had a table to work at for when I did decide to do my homework. I sighed as I started on my homework still having nothing better to do but mope around at how the day was, but I couldn't concentrate so I then decided to go for a walk. I had some money for the arcade but I didn't feel like going there alone. Really what arcade is fun without a friend?
So I walked past the towns park and decided to sit underneath one of the trees there and feel bad for myself. While under the tree and with the fresh air I was able to think more clearly I figured I would make Ash a card that explained how I really felt. I got up brushed off the dirt and ants that had crawled on me during my stay under the tree and started home to work on the card. Along the way I saw a charity and put my money for the arcade in there. I was going to be getting my allowance soon anyways and there was no money in there those people always made me feel bad.
All the little kids looking up at me from pictures saying they had something that was never good. It enver hurt to help anyone every now and then even if I had my suspicions it was a scam sometimes.
This I see has made a whole series of events because the angel was waiting for the first person the "chosen one" of his or hers to put money in there. Lucky me... At first he gave me a nod and said thanks I nodded back and said no problem. I didn't think that night I was going to be granted some powers. I guess Dez was going through the same thing and so was Ash. I am hoping that there was a little more pleasant then mine but I really doubt it because I was chosen by an angel and they were chosen by demons...

Chapter 2 continued
I went to bed after my dinner and homework happy to get the card to Ash started on. I fell asleep rather quickly I would have thought it strange... But hey I was asleep. Not to mention now nothing is really strange to me... I guess the angel visited me in my dream or something I really don't know how it works but I found myself in a bright room with yellow and white colors mushed about. Kinda like some person who has those strange drug trips it was moving all about in diffrent designs.
I couldn't really see walls which confused me. I guess the colors just floated around. An angel with yellow wings was standing in front of me. He was.... what else can I say but perfect? He looked kinda like Ash but with no flaws.
"Wow this is a really nice dream for once..." I commented.
"Your not dreaming Gwen..." The strange angelic Ash said to me.
"Alright whatever anyways whats this dream going to lead to?"
"Gwen your not dreaming..." He said with a bit of an irratated tone.
"Sure I am, you know my name and yet you haven't met me and you look like Ash." I said smiling pleased with my reasoning.
The angel smiled,"You see me that way because thats the form you made me take and what you wanted to see."
"Nonsense I never needed to see Ash as an angel in my dreams."
The angel frowned,"Gwen your not dreaming..."
I guess it was some magic he used on me, because I got the feeling I wasn't and freaked out. "Who the hell are you?" I said shakely.
"I am Ghijl the angel of charity."
"Gah-hi-jel? What kind of name is that?"
"No Ghijl nevemind that though. We have to get down to business..." He staretd to sound like a lawyer.
Hey! I guess no one ever said he was the angel of patience... "What business?"
I guess it didn't occur to me to think I was crazy, something he probably did also... "You have to fight demons and I will grant you powers to do so."
"Wow wait hold up.... why?" I said not quite knowing what just happened.
"Because you are the chosen one."
Wow thanks that explains it all.... "For what?" I demanded.
"To fight a battle that happens every thousand years we get to see what will happen. Between good and evil. If evil wins the world will go into a dark age I am sure you have studied them in your history text books. If good wins the world stays in natrual balance for another thousand years as you know the world is in today."
"Why do you need us then?" They were angels after all.
"We can't fight face to face. We can only choose represenatives in place of ourselves. Balance is the choice of the people in the world and how bad they are willing to fight for it."
"Fine then." I was fustrated. Why did I have to fight this stupid war? It was none of my concern.
"What powers do I get? Am I at least told that? Why am I not more worried about this?" I asked worried about my lack of being bothered by all this stuff now.
He nodded and smiled,"Well you will freak out in the morning because I won't have control of your feelings then... But beside that point, you will have several powers. One is to send diffrent feelings to people. Another to see others auras so you can tell if they are good or evil. You are to try and take evil from people and make it good."
"Is that it? I thought you said several..."
"You will find them out later." He smiled.
"Thanks I guess, when does this power thing take effect."
"As soon as you wake up. Wake up... Wake up...."
"I heard you... OH!" I felt myself falling it seemed.
I woke up with a start and shook my head. Eh what are dreams anyways other then figments of your imagination? I got ready for school. I was in a good mood and I guess dad picked up on it as I walked down the stairs to leave for school, he wished me a good day. Everyone seemed to be in a good mood today, I guess some days are just good or so I thought...

Chapter Three
Making a Good Day
So I guess the powers I got were cool I have to admit. Once I knew what they were of course... Getting to school the next day everyone seemed to be happy around me. Dez saved me a spot on the bus and even Ash seemed a little more cheery then yesterday. Though he still didn't talk to me or look at me....
"So this seems to be a good day huh?" I said trying to start a converstation not wanting to be stuck in a silence that ruined the mood.
Dez nodded,"Yeah it seems like everyone likes today. It is a friday though and that adds to the mood I guess."
Ash even nodded but I still noted that he didn't speak. Dez smiled at me,"You want to do somehting this weekend?"
I smiled,"No, I have plans to do something special."
Dez looked at me questioningly. I shook my head,"I am not telling so you might as well not try."
I didn't want to say anything about the card to Ash until it was done anyways. To my suprise Dez let it be and was silent the rest of the way just reading her book as always. Once I got off the bus, the local b***h of the school decided to take my seat. I got mad, I had that seat everyday and even if we didn't have a seating chart it was where I me, Ash, and Dez always sat. She looked at me challenging me to do something before I even started to talk to her. "You want your seat huh? Well I have it today so back off."
I was mad that I hadn't even said anything and she was up in my face! I put my hands up in fists feeling the strain of muscles in my arm,"Well if its a fight you want, then I will fight you."
She went to slap me. A SLAP! Of all the fighting I have seen, it made me laugh at it. She started to laugh too as I did and seem to be in a cheery mood all of a sudden and moved without another word. What a weird person......
Course I didn't know I could control emotions until I thought about it later on that day. I guess my angel made it clear to me because I know I wouldn't have been able to figure it out on my own. My other power was cool too, goes along with the charity thing. Go figure. I got home and anything I wanted seem to be there.
I figured since I had this power I could have another so I tested it. I lost a pencil at school and needed one for homework so I concentrated on how a pencil looked and it appeared right infront of me! I was excited. Though something inside me said not to misuse my power. So I didn't have a hayball with it, well much....
I just made my dad feel like going to the movies with me because I had gotten two (free) tickets to Fight Club. Sadly, I didn't know that during my fun with my dad, that Dez was going through something way more devestating than I could imagine.
(Just a short one today.)
