Page 99 of Craved By Lust

“Lord Lust,” he speaks before he goes to his knee as if proposing, holding a hand to his chest along with Mother who does the same. “It is an honor to finally gaze upon you in your first form,” he voices with emotion, and I make a face like what the fuck are they even saying as my brothers and I stare at one another.

“Wait, first form? What the fuck is he, Cell from Dragon Ball Z?” Wilder questions and Genesis smacks him.

“Just listen,” he sneers.

“This is but one of the forms you and the other Lords will be able to take on. As you become more powerful you will change… you might have experienced your body changing at random moments. That will continue to happen as your body becomes more Demon than human…”

“Okay, but fuck all that. Get to the point,” I curl my lip, and our father nods.

“As you wish, Lord Lust. Savana and I, while we are of your flesh and blood in the human sense, are but loyal servants who have served the sins for eternity,” he states and I scratch my head.

“That doesn’t explain shit though,” Wilder speaks up.

“You, my Lord, and the other Lords are the reincarnations of the Seven Deadly Sins,” our father states and I reel back.

“Wait… like that anime baby had me watch when she came over?” I blink and our father shakes his head.

“No! That cheap imitation is but an insult to our Lords! What I mean is the true imbuement of the sin, and you, My Lord, are the reincarnation of Lust, Demon King of the Seven and inner most hell closest to our Demon Emperor,” he states and I raise a brow.

“De… wait…” I place my hand on my head, getting a headache from all the random shit being thrown my way. “Okay, I need a second,” I sigh, going to sit down, but the fucking wings get in my way and I want to rip the sons of bitches from my back. “What the fuck do I do about these things?” I point and, Father clears his throat.

“You only have to will it so and they will do as you desire.”I guess that makes sense…I nod, thinking about how I was able to get baby to think I was cosplaying.

I close my eyes, frowning, and command these annoying things to disappear and soon feel a disturbing sensation in my back as if my bones are being rearranged. When it stops, I crack my neck, feeling better, doing the same for my eyes and tail, heaving a sigh of relief at having those heavy ass wings off my back.

“So what you’re saying is what’s afflicting Frank will eventually happen to the rest of us?”

“That is correct, Lord Pride. You all will start to exhibit your sin’s attributes more and more as you are closer to meeting your counter, the virtues. I was not expecting it to happen so soon,but I am honored to witness this unprecedented event. It means our Demon Emperor will soon be returning.”

“You are not making any fucking sense. Sins, demons, kings and emperors, virtues… it all sounds like some shitty low-budget fucking movie. Profitable… but still!” Genesis speaks and Mother bows.

“I apologize that you feel that way, Lord Greed. However, the information I am allowed to share is restricted for now.”

“Well that’s fucking rich, and for fuck’s sake, quit it with the ‘My Lord’ shit,” Wilder grumbles. “It’s weird as fuck.”

“I apologize for that as well, Lord Wrath. However, I cannot.”

“And why is that?” Gannon and Saint ask at the same time.

“Because Lord Gluttony and Sloth, now that the manifesting has begun, we are bound by our contracts. We must abide by the bylaws which state after the first manifestation, Savana and I cease to be your mother and father, henceforth becoming your loyal servants once more,” our father states proudly.

“This is bullshit,” Echo growls.

“Lord Envy, I understand the discourse, but this is what must be done,” Father states and I grit my teeth, tired of this shit already.I don’t have time for this.

Now that I’m feeling better and can see, I glance down at my phone so I can text my baby, but I see that an important message flashes in my email that I color coordinated for Jessica. Clicking it, my heart immediately sinks.

Hey baby,

I hope you’re feeling better. I came by your place, but your staff wouldn’t let me see you. FYI, she needs to be fired! Immediately! Anyway, I’m attaching a ticket to my game tomorrow. If you have time and aren’t feeling too bad, I would really love it if you can make it. You’ll be sitting right in the front next to my best friend Faythe who’ll be FaceTiming with Bebe, my other best friend the entire game but she’s in Georgia and can’t make it. My parents aren’t coming and even though Faythe is coming, it would make my day to see you there.

I miss you… I love you.

Yours,

Mrs. Metchie

She loves me? Me? An asshole doesn’t deserve love, but the most precious being in the stratosphere said I’m worthy of her love?I look at the date she sent the email and my heart sinks…I missed it… I missed it! I fucking missed it!
