My criminal

Traumatised

-Elizabeth's POV-

I laid down in my bed, crying. No one have attacked me like that before. It felt hopeless. I'm hopeless.

Trying to stop the tears, I went up from the bed and to my kitchen. Taking a sandwich, I sat down in front of the tv and watched it. Still crying a bit.

I jumped when I herd my phone call, so I went up to take it.

"Hello?" I asked once I accepted it.

"Elizabeth, I'm sorry to disturb you after work like this, expectly after today's event. However, we was in Meliodas cell today to clean it out to new prisoners. We saw something and I think you should come and see it too." Father said on the other side of the line. Gulping down my fear, I said "I'm o-on my way."

Then I ended the call and went to put on my shoes and jacket, just to go to the car and drive back to the prison.

I was let in immediately and father was waiting for me outside. Going up to him, he gave me an apologetic smile that I returned.

"This way." He said as we started walking towards all the cells. On my way, I saw some of the other prisoners that was still awake.

"Okay, we are here now. Take it slowly, this could be rather... unwanted." Father said as he unlocked the cell. With a nod, I went inside to see what it was. The first thing I saw was a normal bed with normal things to take care of himself. Then it was a cut on the floor... or more like a line.

Then I turned to see the other side of the room. Those chocolate boxes was in a pillar on the floor beside the bed and on the wall...

My face was curved on the wall with many, many hearts around.

"This is Meliodas part of the room." Father said as he also looked at the small cuts in the wall, forming my face. Then he spoke "He was possessed by you. It must have taken since the first day for him to do all this."

More tears built up in my eyes as I broke down crying. Why is this happening to me? What have I done?

"Bartra! Bartra!" A guard said as they ran into the cell.

"What is it?" Father asked. The guard just said "M-Meliodas. H-He is nearly struggling h-himself free. He will continue u-until he gets to meet with Elizabeth."

I looked up at the guard, seeing Howzer there. Father looked down at me with asking eyes.

"I-I don't k-k-know." I said. Father then looked at Howzer who said "He will try to break out of here if he haven't seen her in 23 and a half hours from now. It's no doubt that he will do it, he nearly broke out from his handcuffs just 10 minutes ago."

"Something more?" Father asked. Howzer nodded and said "He wants to be alone with her. Without anyone interrupting."

"Elizabeth, why don't you head back home and rest up a bit? It's no denying it, you will have to meet him, but rest up first." Father said. I nodded as I stood up and headed out of the prison to the place I once thought was safe.

No place is safe anymore, not even my own home. At least not for me...

. . . . .

I woke up a bit earlier today. Having a nightmare waking me up.

Slowly, I went out of bed and put on some clothes. Except the meeting with Meliodas, I have a day off after yesterday's event.

Grabbing a sandwich, I went to my car and to the prison. Father met me at the gate as we walked in silence to Meliodas new cell. You could tell I was scared, shaking like I'm going to die here and now.

Father patted my back as we stopped outside a iron door.

"Are you ready Elizabeth? It is still some hours left, you could take your time." Father said. I nodded and said "I just want to get this over with."

Father nodded and opened the door, making me step in. The door closed behind me, making me jump a bit.

Then I looked at Meliodas who sat handcuffed in a chair. Both legs and hands tied to it. A mask covered his half face as before.

He looked at me with his green eyes and I couldn't stop shaking. Then he tried to break free, making the chair jump some inches closer to me.

It made me jump back, just to hit the door. He looked at me, his eyes a bit wider then before. He tried to say something, but the mask only made it to a mumble no one could make out.

Gulping, I took a step closer to try and get of his mask, but immediately regretting it as his chair moved some inches closer to me again.

I-I can't take this.

I knocked on the door, making it open again. They let me out as tears started building in my eyes.

"Elizabeth, take this week off and gather yourself. It will be okay again." Father reassured. I nodded and went home as fast as I could.

. . . . .

I jumped as the phone called. Crawling up from my position in the couch, I picked up the call.

"Hi? W-who is it?" I asked.

"It's me, Zeldoris. The others and I was wondering if you wanted to hang out with us today."

"I-I'm sorry, b-but I can't today." I said as I nearly broke down in tears.

"Are you okay? Hang on, we are coming immediately." He said and hung up.
