"Hide, (Y/N)! Don't come out!" Shoving her daughter inside the hidden door the desperate woman locked the door and began to run back to where the war was being fought. Crying, the little girl banged her small and dainty hands on the enchanted door, but nothing worked. 

"Momma! Daddy! Please, come back!" The girl yelled, desperate to see her family out of harm's way, but life doesn't always give us what we want. Silence soon came as only the soft footsteps of somebody came towards the hidden door. 

Breathing heavily the little girl stepped away from the door and hid away behind a small couch. 

"That's... that's not my family." (Y/N) whispered to herself, fear soon overtaking her senses. Looking down at her hand (Y/N) tried to summon a small fireball, but only a small flicker appeared. 

"My king, it appears that the girl is in here. Just like one of the dragons said." Someone with a high-pitched voice informed someone. The footsteps soon become louder until it stopped right in front of the hidden door, well, not hidden anymore. 

Ripping open the door the Demon King stepped inside and looked around until his eyes saw a little couch. Smirking, the Demon King walked closer and grasped the couch and threw it towards the wall creating a hole, and once the couch was out of the way the small girl was seen. 

"My, my... so small and fragile looking. I thought the next in line to the Dragon clan throne would have looked much more threatening, but it appears that I have been yet again disappointed." The Demon King taunted the shivering girl. 

Backing away from the man (Y/N) tried to look for a way to escape, but found none. "My king, we are ready to head back." Hearing the voice of the same high-pitched voice that (Y/N) heard earlier she quickly looked up and saw a male with long black hair and green eyes. 

The Demon King nodded his head and turned his attention over to him. "How do our troops look like right now?" The Demon King asked him. "Not good, almost half of our troops were whipped out and the other half were badly hurt, but other than that we have a few who can still fight." The green-eyed male informed him.

'Such power... it's soo suffocating!' (Y/N) thought to herself. These were two of the most powerful that (Y/N) has ever had the displeasure of facing, and it made her instincts go haywire.

"Kill her, she serves no purpose to us. The longer she stays alive the worse that this will get." The Demon King declared as he went to walk away from the scared girl, soldiers already going in to finish the job. 

"Wait a minute," Looking back at the green-eyed male the Demon King saw him looked at the scared little girl. "doesn't the prince need a bodyguard?" The green-eyed male questioned the Demon King. 

Frowning, the Demon King looked back over at the still frightened girl. "You're right, he still needs one. Well, I think she'll do, just needs some practice and she'll be able to defend him." The Demon King agreed with him. 

"Nevermind, take her with us, and don't let her out of your sight." The Demon King ordered as he walked away from the two and into the ship. Looking over at the crying female the green-eyed male gave her a closed-eyed smile and grasped her hand into his own, pulling her up and into his arms. 

"Come on, you have a long life ahead of you, (Y/N), protector of Prince Meliodas." The green-eyed male stated as he carried her onto the ship as the door closed. "What's... what's your name?" (Y/N) asked him, the tears never stopping.

"My name is Ebele, but you can just call me Eb." Eble answered her. Noddin her head (Y/N) started to drift off to sleep feeling the number of emotions that she felt that day too much for her child's mind to handle. 

"Eb..."

˜"*°•.˜"*°• ---- •°*"˜.•°*"˜

"Don't try anything funny, (Y/N). The Demon King won't like it if you do." Ebele warned her. Walking down the dark hallway (Y/N) nodded her head. "I won't, Eb." (Y/N) reassure him. Finally arriving at the heavily guarded door the ten guards opened the double doors and let the girl in, but not Ebele. 

"Why can't Ebele come in?" (Y/N) questioned the guards. "Lord Ebele was not permitted to enter the prince's corridors." The head guard informed her, his sharp horns shining brightly. 

Nodding her head (Y/N) glanced at the emotionless Ebele and walked inside the room, the double doors closing quietly behind her. 

Glancing around the room (Y/N) found it looking like a royals room, all shined with nothing but gold. Though there was no baby toy anywhere, there was just a big bed. "Not even a cradle? The Demon King is too cruel..." (Y/N) whispered to herself in bitterness. 

Walking up to the big bed (Y/N) looked down and saw a silent baby with blond hair who was only looking at the ceiling in disinterest. 

'What a weird baby...' (Y/N) thought. The baby finally noticed the new figure as it looked over at her and frowned. (Y/N) froze. Its emerald green eyes looked so pure, so kind. Nothing like his father. 

Putting her hand under the baby (Y/N) brought the baby up to her and smiled as she gently rocked the baby. "Prince Meliodas, if I am correct? Well, I am (Y/N), I have a last name, but I am no longer allowed to use it." (Y/N) told the baby as it began to play around with her hair. 

Chuckling, (Y/N) put down the baby on a large seat and pulled out a necklace that was shaped like a key with the yang symbol on it. Placing it over his head (Y/N) saw it slip on him easily as it reached down to his kneecaps making (Y/N) smile. 

"I am your contract protector, and I promise to protect you and make sure that you never become something like your father. I have lost all my family, but I wish to protect you to make up for my sin." (Y/N) stated firmly as she held onto the child tightly, though not that tight. 

"For my sin is the sin of disobedience. I disobeyed my family and went into your territory and made a friend with a demon leading to the destruction of my own race, and so to make up for what I have done I will make sure that I become the most obedient servant." (Y/N) told the sleepy baby as she smiled softly. 

˜"*°•.˜"*°• ---- •°*"˜.•°*"˜

"(Y/N)! Why were you not at my sword practice today?" Meliodas asked the tired female, a deep frown on his face. Looking down at the small child (Y/N) smiled apologetically, "I am sorry, master, but the Demon King wanted to inform me of something." (Y/N) apologized to the fuming small child, bowed down her whole body. 

"What was soo important that you had to be away from me?" Meliodas questioned her. "The Demon King is having another child, a boy most likely, and he wished for me to protect him once he is born, but I disagreed." (Y/N) answered him as she was still bowing. 

Meliodas frowned, "You better have! No one can steal my (Y/N) away from me!" Meliodas exclaimed as he ran up to the bowing female and hugged her. Her eyes widened slightly before her smile settled and become gentle. "You're right, I am only yours." (Y/N) agreed with him as she wrapped her arms around his tiny waist. 

˜"*°•.˜"*°• ---- •°*"˜.•°*"˜

Inside a large room were five people as one was holding a baby who wouldn't stop crying making a certain someone annoyed. "Can't you stop the baby from crying?!" Meliodas asked the stoic female, his glowing green orbs shining. 

"Master, you can just give me the order." (Y/N) said to him, her grip on her sword tightening. "I don't think that will be necessary, (Y/N)." Ebele told as he hid his face away from her with his blue fan. 

"Forgive me, my king, but I can not make the second prince stop crying!" The nervous servant informed him, sweat going down her face. Not even looking at the baby the Demon King turned away from the baby and went out to walk out the door, but not before looking over at the still female. 

"(Y/N), you are in charge of taking care of the kid." The Demon King told her as he walked out of the noisy room along with Ebele. Nodding her head (Y/N) looked over at the crying baby and pulled him away from the wet nurse and into her arms, and soon the baby quieted down and began to coo at the female. 

"Your name will be Zeldris, and I will take care of you from now on." (Y/N) said to the confused baby who was currently sucking on her hair. "Wait, that's not fair! (Y/N) is mine, not his!" Meliodas angrily exclaimed ready to put his sword through the baby's heart, but (Y/N) pulled the child away before anything could happen.

"He is your brother, meaning he is of your blood, meaning that I should take care of him as well. From now on Zeldris will be a part of your studies." (Y/N) stated as she grasped the angry Meliodas' hand in hers and walked away from the room. 

˜"*°•.˜"*°• ---- •°*"˜.•°*"˜

"(Y/N), look what I drew for you!" Zeldris exclaimed happily as he ran up to her and climbed up to her lap and pushed the paper to the girl's face. Gently grasping the paper (Y/N) saw nothing but scribbles in what she thought was supposed to be a drawing of her. 

"It looks wonderful, my prince. I will put it up on my room wall." (Y/N) smiled at the shy male. "Hey! I also drew something for her!" Glancing over at the angry Meliodas he gave her a crippled piece of paper that looked worse than the one she had now. 

"Wow... master... you are a prodigy at the arts." (Y/N) praised him in a stoic tone. Meliodas raised his head high in pride. "I know!"

"(Y/N) likes mine better!"

"Nu huh! (Y/N) said I was a prodigy at the arts!"

"Though, did she say that she would put your drawing up in her room walls? No? Well, I guess we all know who she likes more."

"Shut up!"

"No, you shut up!"

"You're such a pest!"

"Who are you calling a pest, you parasite!"

"I will make sure that you regret ever being born!"

"Come at me then, beat you won't-"

"Ha! You lost!"

"My nose!"

"I don't think you can call breaking someone's nose winning."

"You-!"

"He got my hair!"

"Meliodas, hair is always off-limits." (Y/N) informed him as she just watched as both of them continued to fight.
