F.A.I.T.H (part 2)

Chapter 3: The Story
I stood there gawking at the beauty that was laid before my eyes, like a child in a candy store. I placed my hands on the window ceil and Stuck my head out the window. When I stuck my head back in I looked back at Luna and smiled. I then thought about it. My heart sunk. “Luna, am I dead?” She lowered her head and I knew the answer. Right when she opened her mouth a baby fox ran up my leg and curled around my neck and passed out. She giggled and then sighed. “Yes, you did die but you have been given another chance at life. You are the only one of us who has been on both sides; we don’t want to be at war any more. Our EDEN is collapsing.” I cocked my head looked at her in a puzzled way. “What do you mean by EDEN?” she pointed outside again and said. “This is the original EDEN. Our world has exhausted. We can’t stay here much longer.” She pointed at the tree in the middle. “That was the tree of life.”
She took me to the down stairs and down to the basement. The room was full of spores that filled the room, the fox must have sensed the spores cause it ran back upstairs, she handed me a mask and I placed it snug on my face. She pulled me to the side of the room and turned on the light. It was a black light so it irritated my eyes a little as it shined. A half dead tree stood in the middle of the basement putting off the spores and it bore seven bright red peaches that hung there by its stem. I heard a voice around me and I approached the tree.  Luna grabbed me by the wrist and pulled me back. I reached out my other hand grabbing for one of the peaches barely brisling it with my fingertips. The moment my finger came in contact the spores reacted, they pulled me away from her and she fell to the ground. Everything was silent all that could be heard was my heart pounding.
She rose up scared to what she saw. She grabbed my hand and pulled me upstairs with no difficulty this time and threw me up against the wall. “THAT was the tree of sin. “ I snapped into it and looked at her. “It feeds off your strongest sins. That tree has been hidden from the world since Eve took one of the fruit it bore. Since they were the perfect beings, they were forced into a world of sin.” She turned around and grabbed a golden apple she had sitting on the shelf. “The spores given off from the tree are the souls of the sinners, a demon of each sin. Did you notice there were only seven? If you don’t know what the seven are let me give you a brief lesson, the seven deadly sins started out as human beings such as what we are, believe it or not they came to EDEN soon after Adam and Eve were exiled from the holy land. They were told the same rules. Don’t eat from this tree, eat from that tree, you know the old story.  The first to break the rule was the oldest sister, Lust.  Tempted by the beauty the tree bore she took the first fruit and bit into it, her sense of self-control became lacking. She fell in love with her brother, Greed. She took him to the tree and he fed from it, in his epiphany he felt more important then the others. He went to the tree of life that night gathered all the apples he could and hid them for the others.  Lust and Greed for there actions were banished from EDEN and were sent to wander the world for all eternity. There other brothers and sisters were left behind, starved and left to bitter death when gluttony brought food from the tree of sin. They all ate, and were banished from the lands. Gluttony returned years later and died from an over feast of the fruit. All that was left was nine pears. All of them sealed by there fate. The last two were saved for Adam and Eve. Since then two were stolen and that’s what started this war, the imbalance of sin and peace.”
Baffled and confused I stood there in wonder of what to say. The moment I opened my mouth I heard a blood-curling roar from outside and knew something was wrong. I grabbed my pistol from the desk and ran outside as fast as I could.
