Unexpected love

Chapter 8

Y/n's POV:

You all went inside to see Zeldris sat on his throne with his usual frown. He told you all that they were attacking Meliodas tonight. You felt a jolt of excitement course through you, ready to get your revenge.

Zeldris looked at you, then looked at what you were wearing,
" There's no way you're fighting in that,"

You glanced at your village dress before rolling your eyes at his statement. Melascula made her demonic power surround you to the point were you couldn't see a thing. You didn't notice your outfit was changing in the process.

You wore a long sleeved, black leotard with leather pants and knee high, black boots. Around your waist was a belt that had several daggers strapped on, all different shapes and sizes.

You thanked Melascula, not noticing Zeldris staring at you. Gloxinia noticed and narrowed his eyes at him in a brotherly manner, not liking the way he was looking at you.

He moved so his wings blocked his gaze, mentally noting to himself to keep an eye on him with you.

You were about to set off until you realised something. You can't fly yet, or teleport. Gloxinia let you sit on his spear to travel. You felt like a witch on a broomstick.

You all set off as Zeldris reached for the mythical dagger he managed to find after years of finding it, only to find it wasn't there. You noticed this before chuckling nervously, remembering that you gave it Meliodas.

He noticed you were hiding something, he could tell by the guilty look on your face,
" Y/n, what did you do?"

His voice was laced with irritation and anger as you responded with a sigh,
" The dagger. I gave it Meliodas the day we made the deal. Sorry,"

He growled in frustration before giving you the silent treatment. It was your first mission and you'd already messed up. You looked down in guilt, feeling disappointed in yourself for doing the action.

Gloxinia placed his hand on your shoulder before giving it a firm squeeze for comfort. You thanked him with a smile as you all arrived at the place. It was Meliodas's bar.

Meliodas glared when he met Zeldris's gaze before turning to you. His eyes widened in surprise before running over with relief written on his expression,
" Y/n! You're okay!"

He stopped in his tracks once he realised you weren't reacting to you being in a safe destination. King had an unsettling feeling bubbling in his stomach as he watched the commotion through.

Meliodas asked,
" Y/n, what are you doing?"

You responded, glaring at him with your multicoloured eyes,
" Why would I side with the person who killed my Father? "

He gulped nervously, not expecting you to find out so soon. He inhaled deeply, trying to ease his nerves as he spoke,
" Y/n, I had to do what was right, he was dangerous. He -"

The more he continued with his excuses, the angrier you got. The Commandments sensed your aura increase by the second, surprised at how powerful it was.

You interrupted him, your voice mixed with a deeper voice, almost sounding demonic,
" Stop making excuses! He was an innocent man and you killed him in front of his daughter!"

He flinched at your sudden outburst before finding himself being kicked across the field. He didn't even sense or see your attack. You were quick, quicker than him and Zeldris combined.

Your anger fuelled your power as you felt a black, demonic substance travel to the palm of your hand and began to form into a long, black katana.

Meliodas wiped the blood that was flowing down his cheek, frowning at the sight of your power. He knew that he had to do whatever it takes to bring you down, which is why he had a plan. A plan that he has no choice but to do.

Note:
Sorry to leave it on a cliffhanger, I'll post the next chapter tomorrow. I hope you like it.
