Chapter Text
"Huh".
You felt dizzy. Your head was lying on the cold hard ground. You gently tried to pick yourself up. Your headache only got worse. Your vision was blurry and your body ached.
"Ouch".
You said to yourself holding your head up with your hand. When your vision finally focused, you are able to look around. You look down at your clothes and notice that you were wearing a white silk dress. The material felt good on your skin, like something that you never be able to own yourself.
"This is weird. I don't own something like this. I also didn't leave the house in this either. I swear I was on my way to work. what happened".
You said to yourself
"Ouch".
You put your hand on the back of your neck trying to fix the crik in it.
"And if I got kidnapped. Why in the hell did they leave me outside. Where even is this place. More importantly where am I. What's even is going on right now".
You had so many questions but none will get answered.
"Where did they even Place me. Why does it feel so rigid".
You felt around on the ground and realize your body was placed horizontally. You look up and realized that you were on a staircase. Leading up to a huge and magnificent castle. You could not believe what you were seeing. You looked behind you and saw nothing but an empty path. It looked like it goes on for miles. You looked up at the sky. You couldn't tell what time of day it was. The sky was a reddish pink color with no sun, Stars, or Moon insight, just the red sky and some off colored clouds. You thought to yourself.
"There's only one plausible option that I can use. I just hope there's someone inside that can help me".
So you stand yourself up and start heading up the stairs. It took a while but you finally reached the top. You side in relief. You looked up at the door. It was tall and sturdy, if the hinges decided to break at this moment you would surely die on impact. You knocked on the door. There was no answer, then you knocked twice. Still nothing.
"Hello is anyone in there. I need some help".
You said while taking another chance at knocking. When you knocked this time the door slightly cracked open. It startled you so you jumped a little. You took a peek inside seeing nothing.
You started walking in slowly.
"I'm sorry for intruding in your home but I need some help".
You walked in more. You can tell that you were in the Gathering Hall. To the very far side of the room was a huge staircase leading upstairs. You noticed that the whole place was lit with dim candles. You could barely see anything.
"Hello, please, can somebody help me. I'm lost and I need assistance".
you said in a more shooken up tone. Looking around you, you saw a couch against the wall. You knew that you were already tired from walking up all those stairs. This was finally a chance to sit down, relax, and finally assess your situation that you were in. You walked over to the couch and sat down. Finally you got a chance to sit down. You started to worry even more.
"Was I really just kidnapped and sent to a closed location. What if they wanted me to wake up on the stairs and go to the castle. What if it was just a part of their trap to ensnare me in more. What if I just played into the kidnapper's hands and I'm never going to get out of this place. What are they even going to do with me".
You felt nauseous just thinking about all the terrible things that could happen. You felt the tears welled up in your eyes. You started to cry silently to yourself. Not knowing what was going to happen to you.
"Aww... don't cry sweetheart".
You jumped at hearing someone else's voice. You quickly turn your head to the right seeing a man sitting on the couch beside you. You were shocked and Confused. You could have sworn that you were by yourself.
"How did you. Where did you".
All your sadness just turned into confusion.
"That's not important right now".
He says scooting closer to you. as he got closer you can tell that he was a very tall man. He was wearing a nice black suit with red trim. His hair was blue and he had dimples on his face. Even through his suit you could tell that he was very strong. You felt like if he wanted to, he could snap you in half. That still didn't change the fact that he was very handsome. His eyes captivated you.
"Now, let's see where your headed to next".
he said getting closer. You turned away from him and shut your eyes. You couldn't take all this intense staring. As soon as you turned your head he grabbed your face and made you look at him. He made sure you were looking right into his eyes. Seemingly out of nowhere, his eyes went from a dark shade, to a red glowing color. Looking into them, you felt Bewitched. You couldn't move and you couldn't speak. His grip was tight and unforgiving. You didn't know how long this was going to last. After a couple of seconds of staring into each other. He stopped and looked confused. He let you go quickly and Scoot it back a bit with a very confused expression. You felt dizzy. Then you shook your head. when you looked back at him he was still sitting there and complete ah.
"Is everything okay".
Somehow you felt the need to ask him if he was all right, even though you're the one that needs help. He cleared his throat, leand forward and put his elbows on his knees.
"Yes everything is fine. I just, maybe I didn't look hard enough".
"What does that mean".
Just then, he grabbed you by your wrist and did the same thing from before. Afterwards you felt even more dizzy and he looked more confused.
"Umm...could you please stop doing that".
You said holding your head up.
"How is this possible".
He mumbled to himself.
"How is what possible".
You said in a very concern tone.
"My, my, my, what do we have here. She's a cute little thing isn't she. I wonder what terrible things she has done".
Just then, you look to the darkness and saw a man with pink hair walking towards you. He was more slender than the first. Still a very handsome guy. He was wearing a black button-down shirt with the two first buttons undone. He walked towards you and put his hand on your chin lifting your head up.
"Wow you really are quite the beautiful creature. I wonder if you're going to be spending your time with me".
He said in a very seductive voice. you blushed at his statement. You tried to make him let go but he was stronger than you. Then you felt it again. You felt paralyzed, he was doing the same thing that the first man did.
"Not this again".
You said to yourself he suddenly stopped. You felt dizzy and tried to gain your composure. He looked at the other man with wide eyes.
"Yeah, I know, I saw it too".
The blue haired man responded.
"Who are you".
The pink haired man said gazing down at you.
"Umm...my name is Y/N. Now could you please tell me what's going on, and where am I, and who are you people".
You said finally breaking away from the pink haired man.
"I will tell you once the rest of us get here".
The blue haired man said.
"Wait what do you mean by the rest of us".
You said looking confused. He ignored your statement and snapped his fingers. Out of nowhere all the lights were on. It got very bright in that room. You put your hands over your eyes to try to Shield them from how bright it got. As soon as your vision focused again, you noticed that there was seven handsome men surrounding you. It was like the rest of them came out of nowhere just like the first two.
"W-what".
You said in a whisper. You considered making a run for the door. It was better than being here with these people. That most likely has malicious intentions. Your eyes darted to the door and then back at the men. They were staring at you like you were some type of prize. You made a quick break for it. You ran to the door. as soon as you made it you pulled on the handles. The door wouldn't budge though.
"Hey you just can't leave princess".
Hearing a voice you quickly turned around and seen one of the men standing in front of you. He had purple hair. He was wearing a long sleeve v-neck shirt. He got closer to you. You felt your body tremble. He walked over to you and picked you up Bridal Style, carrying you back to the group. You couldn't stop shaking while you were in his hands.
"Don't worry little princess. I'm not going to hurt you, at least not yet anyway".
You heard him Mumble the last part under his breath. Only thing you could do was look up at him. He looked down at you. Then you felt it again. the feeling of being paralyzed. He stopped, when he reached the couch. He raised his eyebrows, looking as confused as the other two did. He set you down gently on the couch.
"I swear, if they keep doing that, I'm going to pass out".
You said to yourself.
"What's going on here".
The man with the purple hair said.
"I'm not entirely sure, but we have to figure this out".
The blue haired man responded.
"Well before we do anything else. The rest of them should check themselves. Just to make sure that our suspicions are confirmed".
The pink haired man said sitting on the arm of the couch. The blue haired man nodded his head in agreement. The rest of the five men proceeded to walk over to you, and did the same thing that the other three did. It was like a rinse and repeat of you getting paralyzed, feeling nauseous, making your headache only worse. When they were done, they all started talking among each other, like you weren't even there. You felt like you were going to throw up you felt so weak, like there was nothing you could do. At this point, you were thoroughly convinced that they were just trying to torture you.
"I-if you're going to k-kill me. can you just make it quick and painless, p-please, that's all I asked for".
You said with your voice trembling. They all stopped and looked at you.
"Oh right, she wouldn't know, would she".
The purple haired man said.
"Well we might as well tell her. There's no point of keeping it a secret".
The pink haired man said.
"Secret, what secret".
You said with a confused and exhausted expression.
"You're already dead".
The red haired boy finally spoke up. He looked a little meaner than the rest. He was wearing a leather jacket. It made him seem more intimidating but you found it attractive.
"Wait, dead, did you just say dead, I'm dead".
You said with worry and shock in your tone.
"Yes, you heard me. you're dead, and there's nothing that you can do about it. That's just how it is".
He said looking back at you
"So if I'm dead, then who are you guys. Are you guys like the angels that are supposed to take me to the Next Realm".
"No, not exactly".
The blue haired man said rubbing the back of his neck.
"To put it simply, we are demons".
The red one interrupted.
"What, demons".
You said raising your voice. you felt completely nauseous after that. You have died. You have no idea how it happened. You were just going to work but now you're sitting here with no option. Now you surely know that you were going to go to hell.
"I guess I deserve this. I've never done anything meaningful with my life. Maybe this is God's way to tell me that I am nothing".
You said crying into your hand.
"Hey don't say that".
The blue haired man said while rubbing your back.
"Listen, the least we can do for you, is tell you what our names are, and what we're going to do next. I'll go first. Hi my name is Kim Namjoon, but RM is my nickname. So feel free to call me that".
"Hello my name is Park jimin, but jimin is fine".
The pink haired man said smiling at you.
"Hi, my name is Kim Taehyung, but you can call me V".
The purple haired man said, reaching his hand out to shake yours. You didn't grab his hand though. You were too startled to even indulge him.
"I'm Min Yoongi my, friends call me suga, but you can't call me that. Just call me Yoongi".
The red haired man said leaning against the wall.
"Hi, my name is Jung hoseok, but please call me J-hope. I think that's a better name, don't you agree".
The man with silver hair spoke. He was nice and welcoming. He did have a scary Aura to him just like the rest of them. He also favorite black like the rest as well. He was wearing a black turtleneck with a chain around his neck and a similar one hooked to his pants.
"Hi, my name is Jeon Jungkook, but call me JK".
The man with green hair walked right next to J-hope, also holding his hand out. Of course you didn't shake his hand either, but he was dressed nicely as well. He was wearing a black baggy shirt with long sleeves, that had a skull design on it. You thought it made him look a little more childish than the others. But it really suited him.
"Well I guess it's my turn then. Hello, my name is Kim Seokjin. You can call me Jin".
His smile was so warm. It's hard to believe that any of these men were demons. He had orange hair. He was wearing a suit similar too the blue haired one. But notably, he had a pink scarf wrapped around his neck. It was the only bright colored thing in here.
"Okay well now that that's out of the way. Let me explain the basics".
Namjoon interrupted.
"So, it is true. You are dead. You died at 9:45 this morning. Cause of death. Simply the wrong place the wrong time. You were in the bank, pulling out some money. When two robbers came in and started robbing the place".
His hands started to glow and he made a circle in the air. The light started to depict a bank. It was the one that I went to that morning. It was showing me and how I was pulling out money from my card.
"When these two robbers came in. They told everybody to get on the ground and said that they were going to kill hostages until they get all the money and a getaway car to leave the city. Unfortunately, they made you the example".
Everyone watch the scene play. It was me inside the bank, talking to the lady behind the counter. Suddenly, I was pushed down hard.
"Everybody put your hands up, and if you press that button behind the counter. I'm going to blow your brains out. Now listen, you're going to open up the safes in the back. My associates are going to stay up here. The longer you take is another minute that we're going to kill off hostages. Just so you'll know we're not playing. Hey, kill her".
The man in the magic circle pointed at me. I didn't see him at the time because my head was down and I was on the ground. In that Split Second. I heard a gunshot. We watched as my blood spilled on the floor. The magic circle went away and they all just looked at me.
I was in complete disbelief. I felt sick. I was really dead. I was alive this morning and dead before it even turned 10 AM. Now that I knew how I died. The memories came back to me.
I went to the bank that morning to get some money out. So I can buy myself lunch at work. I had a Eerie feeling in my stomach. But I ignored it. I guess I should just listen to my stomach next time. But there will be no next time. Because I'm dead. There is no second chance.
He continued.
"Your cause of death was a gunshot to the head. Your death was instant. So, here's how this works. When somebody dies and they're a bad person. They get sent here. Here, one of us will come and evaluate you to determine where you belong".
"You've heard of the seven deadly sins, right".
I looked over, hearing Jimin speak.
"Well the seven of us represent each sin. I represent lust. RM is pride. Jin is Gluttony. Suga is Wrath. J-hope is Greeg. V is Sloth. And JK is envy".
"So, I want to hell".
"Well no, not exactly. You're at hell's Gateway. This is the realm that Sinners get into first before they get sent to their hell. Here, we determine what you did and figure out which realm you're going to go to. There are seven different realms. Each one of us run one. We determined what you deserve based on what you did in your life. Then will send you to whichever realm you deserve to go to. For example, if you didn't commit my sin I would send you to the sin you did commit. Usually the sinner will only meet one or two of us before they get sent to live out there punishment for eternity".
"We usually determine this by looking through your memories and seeing what you did through your lifetime".
Suga continued.
"You can commit multiple sins in your life. But the sin you commit the most is where you're getting sent. We determined by what type of situations you have put yourself in. For example, if you murder someone for no good reason. You just wanted to murder someone. That would be put under my sin, Wrath. But if you murder someone because you were jealous of them. That will be put under Envy. And if you murder someone out of love or being manipulated by love. Then that will be considered a crime of passion. Which then will put you under lust".
"This principle basically goes for anything".
Jin took over the conversation.
"If you lie or steal or do anything. If you steal money or food those would usually go under greed and gluttony. But if you stole money for a lover. That will go under lust. And if you stole food because you just didn't want to pay for it. That would go under sloth. If you do something wrong. Then lie about it to cover it up and can't admit when you're wrong. That would be considered Pride. You were just too selfish to admit it. We chalk up all the things you did over the course of your life. Then give you what you deserve in your afterlife".
I was still a little confused but I let them explain to me everything they possibly could. But I was confused on why they was explaining all of this to me.
"Okay, so I get that part. But if that's the case. Then where do I belong. Which sin did I commit repeatedly to be sent here".
They all started to look at each other. Then Namjoon spoke.
"That's the thing. You haven't committed any of the sins. You haven't sin enough to be here. Yes, you have lied before. But you haven't done it enough to put it under any of the categories. And every time you lied. You had a good reason to or told the truth later. In your lifetime. You were never overly greedy, selfish, angry, lazy, jealous, lustful, or ravenous. And you sure hasn't committed any very heinous crimes such as fraud, theft, or murder. To put it simply. You just don't belong here. You should have never came here".
"You're someone that we would call a sinless or a faithful".
J-hope moved right next to me.
"In fact, we were never supposed to meet you. We've never been in this situation before. Usually only Sinners get sent here. So we never seen someone like you. You're supposed to be an angel right now. You're supposed to be living your perfect heaven instead of us deciding your fate".
I was visibly scared. I didn't know what to do. All I know is that I'm not supposed to be here. I am a good person. I felt relieved at what they were saying.
"All right then, if I'm not supposed to be here. Then send me where I'm supposed to be".
They all just looked confused at each other and had visibly concerned faces.
"Well we don't exactly know how to".
JK rubbed the back of his head as he spoke.
"We might run our own Realms and give people the Divine punishment they deserve. But we've never gotten a visitor like you. Our magic only consist of Chaos and bringing down the punishments people deserve. Usually all the sinless separated before coming here. I guess you just slipped through the cracks. Man today is really not your day".
"Well, can you guys contact someone to come and get me or open up a Gateway to send me to heaven or something".
They all looked even more disheveled.
"Well, we don't have that kind of magic. We can only use our own powers and open up the realm wear assigned to. We don't have light magic that can open up the realm to heaven. I would love to contact an angel to come and get you. But we have no contact with Heaven whatsoever. Yes, we do work alongside them, but they practically ignore our whole existence".
He looked down at the ground. He seemed really upset. I felt bad for the puppy dog eyes he was giving me.
"It baffles me how Heaven acts like they want nothing to do with us. But yet and still. They make us work like dogs. We do everything they need us to do. There's never any problems here. But they won't give us any way to contact them if we needed to. We're practically stuck here too. Our powers are Limited and we've only ever been here and our own realms".
I feel bad for what the one they called v was saying. They work 24/7 and yet, they are stuck here too doing their jobs endlessly.
"What the hell are we going to do. We can't just leave her here.
J-hope spoke in a frenzy.
"I don't know, but we can't just leave her in the main hall".
Jin said.
"Well we got to do something".
V chimed in.
"I know exactly what to do".
Suga spoked. Everyone started to look at him. Suddenly, I felt something wrap around my leg. It yanked me and I fell on the ground hard. It burnt, I felt it wrapped around my other leg. Then my arms and my torso, pulling me backwards. I noticed that they were chains. They were burning my skin, like they were dipped in lava.
At my position. I lifted my head up to see him, pulling me by the chains and dragging me towards a door. The door wasn't there before. It had skulls and blood all over it. It also had his name written in cursive on it.
"HAY, what do you think you're doing".
Namjoon screamed.
All of them rushed over to try to stop him from pulling me inside of the door.
"What do you think I'm doing. I'm doing my job".
"STOP, she doesn't belong there".
Jimin said, trying to pull the chains away from him. I seen his hands get burnt at the contact of the chains. It seemed like only he could touch them.
"That's not our problem. It's not our fault that they messed it up. Heaven never cared about us anyway. So why should we care about bringing one Angel back. I bet they haven't even checked on us an eons. That's the whole reason how they even sent her too the wrong place in the first place. If they really were watching us like they said they would. They would have been saw that they sent her to the wrong place before we even met her. She needs to go somewhere. Even if she doesn't deserve it".
They all got in front of him and tried to stop him.
"Yoongi, even if they're not watching us. We take pride in what we do. Everyone gets what they deserve, and she doesn't deserve to be here. We might be demons but we're Fair. We're not like them. So don't do this".
He stopped and looked at Namjoon. He nodded his head. Suddenly, the chains went away, but the burning still stayed. At this point I was sobbing. My whole body hurt.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I just don't want to deal with this. This isn't fair to you or to us. You Don't deserve this".
He picked up my body and gently sat me on the couch. I could tell he was trying to comfort me in the best way he could. I wasn't angry with him. I would be frustrated too if this happened to me.
"T-there's no need to apologize. I-I know all of this is probably frustrating. So I'm s-sorry".
He gave me a sad but sympathetic smile.
"Well, what are we going to do. We can't send her to any of our realms. That would be cruel. She doesn't deserve that".
Jin pasted around the room.
"Well then, there's only one thing to do".
They all started to look at Namjoon.
"I'll try my best to get in contact with heaven to send this Angel where she belongs. But until then, she is going to stay with us. Since we're supposed to give anyone what they deserve. Will give her what she deserves. We'll try our best to give her, her perfect heaven while she's with us. Starting with a luxury room".
All their faces lit up at once.
"Are you sure we can do it. All of our Magic consist of Destruction in chaos".
V said with a little bit of concern in his voice.
"I'm sure we can. Let's start by giving her a room. We all live in this Castle together. I'll just uncurse the stairs so she can go up and find her room. She'll be right next to all of us. So if she needs anything. She could just call for it".
He suddenly snapped his fingers and lights started to illuminate the stairs.
"Wait, the stairs are cursed, why".
"We keep them that way just in case if a sinner tries to escape to them. They would be met with a endless staircase with them never reaching the top".
JK happily answered my question.
"Okay, you can go up them now. Just head up the stairs and turn left. You should see a bunch of rooms. Your room is going to be at the end of the hall. You would see the rest of the rooms would say our names. You should probably head up now to get some rest and tomorrow will start trying to create your perfect heaven for you".
Namjoon and Yoongi helped me get up from the couch. They led me to the stairs. I started to head up them. It was a little hard since I had injuries but I managed. The lights guided me to a hallway with a bunch of rooms. Just like they said, the other rooms had names on it. I went all the way down the hallway and the last room had no name on the door. I pushed open the big doors and was met with a beautiful room.
As I looked inside. It was already illuminated with lights. The bed had nice silk sheets and a princess lay over it. I could tell they probably had used magic to make my room look girlish for me. I looked around and saw there was a huge vanity mirror. There was a walk-in closet. There was also a bathroom attached to the room too.
When I looked inside. It had a really nice big tub that had a window. I could look out and see the off Colored Sky. I walked back over to the bed.
I laid down. I was very tired and this was nice. But I still felt hopeless. I began to cry silently to myself. Just thinking about what was going to happen to me now?
