The sun was high and bright in the sky, the sound of birds chirping can no longer be heard. Clouds covered the sky in a sad and damp matter as the smell of rain covered everyone's scents. 

The sins were now preparing everything they needed for the journey to Camelot. Although they knew that it was going to be difficult they couldn't give up, not when someone they care about is in some possible danger.

Meliodas chugged another glass of beer as he saw both Ban and King drunk, silly expressions decorating their faces. The other four were just eating the remainder of the meat that was left alone by the three males with distant expressions, their eyes clouded.

Glancing over at the window Meliodas saw the sky darken more, however, a figure could be seen in the distance approaching them. Getting up from his seat he sat down his glass bottle and went over towards the door and opened it. Stepping out he could feel the lukewarm temperature hit his face at once with wind mixing and dancing together with his hair making him sweep it back away from his emerald orbs.

The walking figure quickened its pace as a bright and happy smile appeared on her gentle features. It was Elizabeth. 

"Meliodas! Meliodas!" Elizabeth cried out, waving her hand in the air as her hair became a mess. Sighing, Meliodas stayed where he was as he felt Elizabeth engulf him in a tight hug, no longer feeling anything.

"Oh, Meliodas! You don't know how worried I was! When you came to Liones and didn't visit me I thought something bad happened." Elizabeth sighed as she went and brought him closer to her chest. Instead of taking the invitation as she thought, instead Meliodas pulled away from the hug and began to walk towards the little forest near them.

Confused, Elizabeth still followed him close behind, but no matter when she tried to start up a conversation Meliodas just ignored it. Deciding that maybe he was going to show her a surprise Elizabeth immediately shut up and began to fix her clothing, loosening things here and there.

Once Meliodas stopped walking Elizabeth stopped as well and smiled down at him, her cheeks becoming a bright red. "M-Meliodas, if you wanted to do this you could have at least told me." Elizabeth shyly said. Silence engulfed the two, though the silence was broken when the sound of thunder in the distance caught their ears.

Worry crossed her features as she pulled on Meliodas' clothes to try and get them away from here, but to no avail. 

"Elizabeth, how much do you trust me?" Her gaze immediately went over towards her lover at his words making her smile. "With my life." Elizabeth answered him. Walking forward she hugged him from the back as she stuffed her face in his soft golden hair.

"Would you die for me?" Meliodas questioned her again. Elizabeth thought nothing of this and nodded, "With my life." Soon, thunder could be heard closer to them, but Elizabeth didn't care anymore, she knew that Meliodas would protect her if anything were to happen, he always did.

For the second time silence covered the two in an awkward blanket, but Elizabeth didn't mind it, actually, she thought of it as a comforting silence. 

Rain began to pour down hard, thunder just barely above them. However, even when the weather was this bad, Elizabeth still didn't let go, and Meliodas didn't move either. Rain covered the two head-to-toe leaving nothing untouched. The ground was becoming muddy and cold, trees starting to fall as the mud swept away any nearby life. 

"Then, you won't mind this, right?" Meliodas whispered, his face invisible to her eyesight. Looking up in confusion Elizabeth was about to ask what he meant until she felt a strong pain in her stomach. Letting go of Meliodas Elizabeth looked down at her stomach and saw a large hole in nothing inside as blood poured down from the surroundings. 

Looking up one last time at the person she thought loved her instead of seeing the usually bright and loving face she saw the emotionless face that only Meliodas gave to his enemy. 

"Say hi to Elaine for me, and for Ban too." Those were the last words she heard when she blacked out, her heartbeat slowing down into a quiet silence. 

Looking down at the dead body being swept away by the rushing mud Meliodas looked away. Walking away as nothing happened he finally went out of the forest and entered the flat ground, the Boar Hat in the distance. 

Walking towards the front door he couldn't hear anything, but he didn't care, he wouldn't care if they all died. Opening the door he could see both Ban and King passed out on the floor as bruises could be seen on both of them. Looking over to the right Meliodas saw both Merlin and Gowther staring at each other, both of their eyes filled with hate. Glancing over to the back of the counter he even saw Diane and Escanor arguing over a golden bracelet that belonged to (Y/N), and will soon belong to him.

"Give it to me, I had it first!" Diane exclaimed and used every bit of strength in her body. Escanor also didn't let go, his pride would be hurt of course. "Do you think you deserve something like this? Please, you don't even deserve to breathe the same air as (Y/N)." Escanor pointed out, his voice cocky.

"I'm afraid that bracelet doesn't belong to neither of you." Hearing the familiar voice both Escanor and Diane looked over and saw their captain standing there, his shoes and a few of his clothes muddy and wet. 

Diane scrunched her nose at the scent of blood, her eyes looking at his distastefully. "Why do you smell like blood? Did you kill an animal?" Diane questioned him but could care less of what he was doing. Meliodas went in the middle and put one of his hands on top of the bracelet and grasped it trying his hardest to get it, but failing.

"Something like that." Meliodas whispered. As the three continued to try and get a hold of the bracelet for themselves Merlin and Gowther finally got out of their battle of power allowing for both of them to join in on the weird tug-a-war.

"Something as precious as this can't possibly belong to someone like you." Merlin stated as she put some magic on the bracelet. Gowther then put his arm as well, his face angry. "Indeed, something like this can only belong to one of us, and that's going to be me." Gowther huffed, his pink hair starting to get messy.

Meliodas angrily looked over at Gowther, his hold on the bracelet tightening. "How do you think you belong to her, huh?!" Meliodas yelled at Gowther, his anger barely being able to keep in check. Gowther did not look at him but instead paid more attention to the power he was putting on the bracelet, but did, however, respond.

"She's the only one to make me feel this way. Not even Batra's sister could make me feel like this." Gowther replied, his tone starting to get deeper.

Before anything could escalate further the sound of groans could be heard making the five look over at the sin of greed and the sin of sloth as they began to move again. "Aren't we supposed to go and find (Y/N) right now? Wheres Gilthunder? Wheres my damn beer?" Ban grounded, glancing around the place in confusion.

King looked up from his laying position and summoned his green panther pillow as he crawled on top of it. Glancing over towards the five he saw them holding a golden snaked bracelet... wait, snake bracelet?!

His eyes widened as he quickly went over towards the five and placed some magic on the bracelet as to also have an advantage. 

"I'm not going to let people like you have something like this so easily. Not in a millennium." King exclaimed proudly, his hair bouncing. Ban also saw what was happening and frowned, placing his hand over it as well. "Same here." Ban proclaimed drowsily, his face still red.

The sins all looked over at one another, each person putting more strength on the bracelet more and more until it was too much for the bracelet making it break into seven pieces. 

The seven all fell onto the floor, one piece of the bracelet in their hands. Before they could brawl out for the rest of the pieces the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs made them stop and look up seeing the sleepy Gilthunder.

"What's happening? I heard some yelling." Gilthunder asked them and sat himself down on one of the seats. The other sins looked at each other with glares and looked back at Gilthunder with their normal expressions. 

"Nothing." All of them answered. Going back to what they were doing Mama Hawks finally got up once the storm passed them and began walking towards their destination. Camelot.
