Darkness consumed the inside of the Boar Hat as two figures sneaked inside and surveyed the room. The first one was a figure with (H/C) hair and the other was one with white hair who was behind the first. Both figures separated as one quickly went upstairs and into Meliodas' room. Looking around she didn't catch sight of the silver-haired girl making her confused, though went back downstairs to report what she found.
"Nothing, I didn't find her in Meliodas' room. What did you find, Estarossa?" (Y/N) questioned him with a frown plastered on her face. Estarossa sighed, "Same here, do you think she could be back there in Liones?" Estarossa asked her, though (Y/N) just shrugged and turned around towards the kitchen.
"Probably, but her most recent scent was here. Well, not here specifically, but near here." (Y/N) whispered. Entering the kitchen with Estarossa behind her with both of them glancing around and getting back outside feeling disappointment.
"My queen, if she is not in Liones or the Boar Hat with the traitor, then do you think she could have gone into the woods?" Estarossa asked her while pointing at the dark and gloomy woods. "Perhaps, do you think she went in there for the night to follow the sins since they wouldn't let her go with them?" (Y/N) questioned as she got closer to the woods.
"Only one way to find out." Estarossa murmured and went inside with (Y/N) in tow. Dead twigs and leaves crunched under their footing as the moon illuminated the woods making it look like something bad was going to happen, which it might. Looking around (Y/N) whistled, "Elizabeth must be braver than I thought to stay here for a full night, thought she was a scaredy-cat or something." (Y/N) smiled.
As they walked some more she could feel Estarossa stop walking making her turn around with annoyance. "Come on, Estarossa. Don't tell me you're tired already-" Right in front of her was none other than Elizabeth's dead body, all bloody and bruised with mud covering her body.
Silence followed as a gush of wind passed them as if the Earth itself was laughing at their shock. No one moved, not (Y/N), not even Estarossa, no one.
"W-What the fuck..." (Y/N) whispered. Slowly kneeling next to the dead body she pushed away a strand of silver hair, hoping that it was just someone with the same hair as her, but to her sadness, it was no one else but Elizabeth.
Hearing someone sit right next to her (Y/N) turned around and saw Estarossa inspecting the wounds. "They seemed to have happened about not even an hour ago. Though, look at these wounds, they seemed to have been done by a wide weapon of some sort with a few scratching here and there. Elizabeth must have been swept away from the mud from the storm earlier thus resulting in dry mud on her and small scratches littering her body." Estarossa stated and backed away from the dead Elizabeth with a calm face.
(Y/N), however, stayed quiet. No movement came from her, she was as still as a statue. Looking down worriedly at his queen Estarossa hesitantly placed a hand on top of her head, but to his pleasure (Y/N) didn't push him away, instead, she embraced him.
"Esty... who do you think could have gone to her first?" (Y/N) sighed and glanced over at the dead body. Estarossa shrugged, "None of that truly matters, now does it? Right now we should be worrying about if there is even any blood that isn't dried up yet." Estarossa said. Pulling away from the hug (Y/N) walked closer to Elizabeth and inspected her to see if there was any blood left, and thankfully, there was just enough.
Smiling (Y/N) opened her hand and faced Estarossa. "Hand me the blood tube, please." (Y/N) asked him and he happily complied. Handing her the golden decorated blood tube (Y/N) grasped it and looked it over before smiling at herself. Looking back at Elizabeth she opened the lid and placed it under the least dried wound as blood slowly starting to pour into the tube making her smile widen more and more.
"(Y/N)?" Quickly whipping her head around to see who called her name she saw the familiar blonde-haired captain staring at her with sad eyes while wearing a relieved smile. Frowning, (Y/N) got up from her position and closed the tube with the lid and placed it into her pocket, and secured it.
"What do you want, bastard?" (Y/N) growled and glared at him with enough hatred to fill fifty humans. Meliodas winced at her tone but smiled nonetheless with happiness in his eyes. "Oh, (Y/N), you have no idea how long I've been waiting for you to return-" Getting stopped from stepping any closer to her Estarossa stopped him by punching him getting Meliodas stuck into a mountain.
Looking back at Estarossa (Y/N) smiled at him. "Good job, but I don't wish to cause any more uproar so we have to go, now!" (Y/N) smiled and opened her wings as did Esarossa, though neither could fly.
"Huh?" Estarossa whispered and looked around. (Y/N) was also confused, but didn't wish to voice her thoughts. "I don't think you're going anywhere anymore, (Y/N)." Turning their heads to the left the two of them saw the rest of the six sins all walking towards them, or more specifically, for (Y/N).
"Oh, (Y/N)! I'm so glad to finally see you after too long! Why did you run away, flower baby? I and you were starting to finally open up to each other!" Diane pouted, looking all disheveled.
"Indeed, you were safer with us than by yourself since there was a chance of you getting hurt by a devastating 90%." Gowther stated and walked closer to the trapped ones and also looked tired. In fact, all of them looked tired, as if they hadn't slept in days.
Fear slowly crawled out from her heart for whatever reason, for (Y/N) didn't know. Why did she feel fear? They should be the ones feeling fear, not her!
"You know, darlin, I was really not cool with you running away like that. Next time, stay, okay?" Ban growled as his piercing red eyes glowed under the night, and in fact, so did everyone else's with unknown feelings swirling like deadly waters in their eyes.
"(Y/N)... because of you I didn't sleep. Though I guess it's fine because now you can sleep with me all day and all night!" King exclaimed with a dreamy look overcoming his blushing face.
"Just know, (Y/N), with me next to you will never go anywhere forever. Just a little safety precaution, nothing more nothing less." Escanor proclaimed as his tiny figure revealed himself from all the others.
"Oh, so this is the (Y/N) you were all killing each other over, looks like she's a demon or something." Gilthunder commented as he glanced over at her before looking at the others. "So, now that she's here, what do we do next?" Gilthunder asked them, though the answer was simple, was it not?
"We take her for ourselves." All six of them said in unison making Gilthunder feel a little creeped out not gonna lie.
"You know, everyone, I personally think she would do rather nicely if she were to be around me and no one else for every hour of every day, don't you think that sounds like a lovely idea?" Diane questioned, though no one seemed pleased.
"What, are you stupid or something? (Y/N) is better off with me than any of you people." Ban growled out and glared at them while getting out his nunchucks. Merlin sneered, "Please, why would she want to stay with someone like you?" Ban frowned at her.
"I think (Y/N) would rather be sleeping with someone than staying wandering around." King interjected and opened up his light blue wings while preparing chastiefol for the incoming battle. Escanor kissed his teeth, "King, King, she's not a lazy little kid like you. I think (Y/N) would rather prefer to wander around the world with the sun by her side, don't you think?" Escanor laughed.
King's face turned red from anger as he faced Escanor. "Oh, yeah? Why do you think (Y/N) would ever want to stay with a man who can only transform strong during the day? Unlike you, I am powerful every second of the day." King chuckled as his eyes became sharp.
"This is stupid, just give her to me Merlin and everything will end quickly." Diane offered, though Merlin just frowned at her and shook her head. Diane furrowed her eyebrows and sneered at Merlin with hatred. "Then I suppose I'll just take her by force!" Diane exclaimed and smashed her hands onto the ground making spikes come out.
Merlin lifted her eyebrow and sighed, "I will not allow that to happen, bitch." Blow after blow, both of them did not give up.
"Ah! Silly girls, leaving her all to me. Guess I'll just taker her now." Escanor laughed and went to go and grab (Y/N) only to be stopped by both King and Gowther.
"I don't think so." King smirked, turning his chastiefol into hundreds of small spears.
"I ever allowing you to take (Y/N) has dropped to a good 0%." Gowther stated as his twin bow Herritt appeared on his hands.
Escanor laughed and turned into his day form with a smile surprising the two. "Merlin must have forgotten to take away the spell she put on me, oh well, guess I'll waste it on you two pitiful creatures." Escanor smirked and looked down at the two.
Getting back from getting knocked out into the mountain Meliodas appeared to be seeing both Gowther and King fighting Escanor while Diane and Merlin both fight. "What the fuck happened while I was gone?" Meliodas asked himself, though someone answered for him.
"Merlin put a restraining spell on (Y/N) and the surprising reveal of Estarossa and tried to take her away, but Diane intervened and now they're fighting, and so are the others. Oh, and since both I and you are the only few who aren't fighting than let's fight." Ban proclaimed and punched Meliodas in the gut making him go a few meters back.
Meliodas looked up at Ban and smirked at him, "What was that for?" Meliodas asked him. Ban smirked, "That's for breaking (Y/N) heart and leaving her to die. Yeah, I know what you did now, found out by hearing (Y/N) in her sleep talking about it." Ban purred, though his eyes said the opposite of what his friendly smile said. They wanted blood.
Meliodas smiled at him. "So you've found out. That's nice and all, I guess, but she was mine then, and she's still mine now, and nothing can change that. Nothing!" Meliodas exclaimed and went in for an attack.
"My queen, shall we get out of these bonds?" Estarossa whispered in her ear and (Y/N) nodded. "Sure, let's get out of... whatever the hell is happening." (Y/N) responded, though her attention was still half on the fighting sins with only Gilthunder on the sidelines watching Escanor and Gowther trying to outspeak each other.
Finally snapping free from the bonds (Y/N) went to finally fly away with Estarossa only to be stopped with arms around her waist.
"I don't think so my darlin." Ban purred in her ear. Looking at the others for the last time for a long time Ban smiled at them "Snatched her." Then he and (Y/N) were gone.
