7 Deadly Sins

Darkness covered Katherine like a blanket as she kneeled on the pew of the old church praying to large cross hanging on wall. Shadows casting a gray, dim glow. The devil danced on Katherines shoulders as she closed her eyes saying small prayers. Katherines eyes snapped opened as faint chantings started in a deep musky voice.
“Jealousy, lust, gluttony, pride, greed, sadness,and wrath. Do these sound familiar Katherine?” the voice whispered to her. She rose from the pew slowoly turning around.
“Know who I am Katherine?” the voice whispered to her.
“Know what the seven deadly sins are?” the devil replied not caring for her answer. She gripped the black rosary that hung around her neck as she spun in small circles.
“Why are you wearing that, thats not…thats not your destiny.” he grimanced.
“Wh-wh” she stuttered panic kicking in slowly.
“Stuttering is not polite Katherine my dear.” the devil said still dancing on her shoulders.
“Who are you?” she asked.
“Seven Deadly Sins.” he replied, his laugh echoing.
