There was some silence among the training halls. Pierce was away, and one would think the mice might play. Wrong. These mice knew better. Even though these mice could easily overpower their master. One particular mouse was in the training area. She was sitting on a large rock, letting her fingers dip in the stream below. The training area looked a lot like an outdoor wooded forest. But it wasn’t. It was nice an large but enclosed. There were six mice, but Pierce hoped for seven. Then they would be complete… hopefully. V never liked to see her master upset. Because then it made her upset. V was her name. Experiment V. At least that what her master, Pierce, always called her. Pierce had given the sins orders to train. That’s what he called them. His Seven Sins. His group of seven, six at the moment, perfectly trained group of experiments.
They were a lot different from the experiments at F.E.A.R. They were treated nicer, got better food, were practically pampered… if they did their jobs correctly that was. The Sins were also Pierce’s personal experiments, while the rest at F.E.A.R were government owned. The Sins, did Pierce the favor of paying off the government. The Government kindly gave Pierce a facility, and plenty of money for his research. However, the government wanted something back. Not only his results, but actual action. Pierce claimed that the F.E.A.R. facility experiments were not ready for such a task. And since they were government property, it limited the things Pierce could do to them. So that’s how the Sins were born.
Pierce decided that to individually make sure each F.E.A.R. experiment combat worthy was to much time and patience. Especially the money to train them all. So, Pierce got an idea. Out of his pocket, he funded the money enough for just seven experiments. He took the money and looked for seven unique individuals. Or, really seven unique individuals with amazing DNA. And that’s where he found them all. Well, almost all. Or was it all? V didn’t know if Pierce was training the last one. Which would make him V Double I. Their names were the roman numerals one through seven. Very unique to his experiment and series numbers in F.E.A.R. He would pluck these children from their homes and change them, into his personal team of monsters. His very thought out team of monsters.

There was I(I/One), but everyone called her Ira. She never forgot her name even during the shock therapy. The only difference was she accepted the name I as well as her birth name. She was combined with various posioness snakes. Boasting lighting speed and a seductive manner, it was obvious her sin was Lust.

Then there was Double I (II/Two). Pierce sometimes called her Deuce, depending on his mood. She was combine with scorpion. Trained in the assassin arts, she was one force to be reckoned with. However British heritage and proud nature made her the sin of Pride.

Next was Clair (III/ Three). Pierce sometimes called her Trey, also depending on his ever-loving mood. She also remembered her name, although it came out of a habit Pierce didn’t want. She was combined with rhino and bull. She was the tank of this group, boasting amazing power. But sadly Clair was not the brightest bulb. She talks in third person and isn’t the smartest person in the crowd. She was surprisingly big and strong for a ten year old. But she was getting the hang of things. Her lazy attitude and mellow nature make her the sin of Sloth.

Then it was IV ( IV/ Four). He was originally from Australia and like Double I, kept his accent. He was combine with crocodile and dingo. He uses two Desert Eagles to get his point across and was an ice cold killer at times. His horrible jealousy makes him the sin of Envy.
Then there was VI ( VI/ Six). He was almost like a father to V or a very big brother. He was mixed with gorilla and lion. Not only did he have power but he knew when to use it. Especially when he used his Colt Single Action Army. V never liked guns, she didn’t think they were fair. Because of his extreme temper he was the sin of Wrath.
And as for V? Well, V herself was combined with lion, lamb, and dove. She was the perfect balance of ferocity and kindness. Pierce tended to like V the best, or that’s how she saw it. Come to think of it, everyone liked V. V, unlike the rest, had no sin. No one could figure it out. So she was sinless. But it didn’t matter to her. She was happy to be in this group. V giggled as she let the water run between her fingers. She enjoyed this stream. It made her happy when Pierce had it put in. There was a sliding of a door as V turned around. Double I stood there, with a soft smile on her face. Double I rarely smiled, so this was quite the treat for V. In fact Double I smiled for only V.
“ What are you doin’ here? An’ all by yaself, huh?” Double I said softly walking over to V. V shrugged and said,
“ I was just sitting her, letting my thought run. And playing with the river, I suppose.” I really was just talking to Clair a while ago, you guys really don't treat her fair. Double I nodded and sat down next to V.
“ Ya’know, I was looking for ya. I was worried you were upset or sumthin’.” You seems really upset at us when you ordered us to leave. Leaving you and Clair alone. Double I said, looking into the pseudo-forest. When they were first working with each other, around a few month ago. All of them use to get into arguments. Well, except V. She was never a fighter. Thankfully, most of the fights have stopped. But Clair gets most of the abuse due to her slow mentality.
“ No, I’m fine Double I. I guess I just wanted some alone time.” I WAS upset. She has no one. You guys need to open up to her. She's really a great person. she said innocently. Double I gave a light smile and said,
“ It’s not wrong to wan’ some time to yourself.” I should know, I tend to shut people out. Even you at times. V smiled and as she laid down on Double I’s lap. Double I quickly gave a look of utter confusion and blushed a bit.
“ Double I?” Aww, your blushing. Your so funny Double I. V asked.
“ What? Oh yeah, V?” PLEASE DON'T SEE ME BLUSHING!! DON'T NOTICE IT! she replied.
“ When do you think the master will be back?” I tend to worry when he's away for a while. Plus I see a different side of you guys. “ Uh…. Soon…I guess…” I don't want him back. Then I have to protect myself. He broke me once, he won't do it again. she replied, looking down into V’s eyes. V’s brow furrowed and said
“ Do you want to kill someone again?” Please say no. I know it's drilled into us, but say no. Double I closed her eyes and then looked back down at V.
“ Yea’, I do. It’s part of bein’ an assassin V.” It's a part of being a sin V. I guess you wouldn't understand that. “ Do you think of anything else besides killing?” PLEASE say yes... V asked, her tone quite serious.
“ Uh…. Yea, I do.” Don't ask what. Double I answered nervously.
“ Well, what?” I gotta know this! Maybe I could make Double I happier more! V asked.
“ Uh… ya’know… stuff….” I think about you! Your all I think about! Double I said, trying to get rid of the subject. V laughed and gently poked Double I’s nose.
“ Your funny Double I. I hope we stay friends forever.” Forever and ever... please Double I. I don't want to lose you. She said smiling. A soft smile came on Double I’s face.
“ I do too… V…” More than friends...
I need you V. You’re the only one that can do this to me. You’re the only one. Wake me up inside. I want to feel your warm touch. I want to feel what it’s like to be alive. Let me not live a lie. There’s nothing inside of me.
Save me.
