Shadows Of Sin

Bonus Chapter 1

A/N: I was reading through the storyline I've written up while going through some of the chapters I've pre-written and I noticed a huge plot hole that I'm trying to fix so until then I'm gonna post some of the bonus chapters I've drafted which will mostly be from before the Holy War 3000 years ago.

Slight warning (not really but yeah): I have a lot of these chapters and they're kinda short-

I was flying alongside Derieri as we went over to where Rajine was.

Derieri's hair was still in knots from where I'd attempted to braid it- while the look had suited her it'd lasted her five minutes before she pulled at it out of frustration, thus leaving the multiple knots that would take forever to get rid of.

Meanwhile, my hair remained in its long, choppy waves, the same style as Derieri on a normal day only the tips seemed to be alive like thick tendrils of smoke, or perhaps... shadows?

I simply sighed as we approached.

Meliodas was away on a mission to speak with the vampires along with Zeldris (who was either going to fulfil his duties as one of the Demon Princes, or to meet his not so secret lover), so I chose to spend the day with my next favourite demons.

Galand was out somewhere, he hadn't specified where, but that meant I couldn't play chess with him.

Derieri and Monspeet were surrounded by thick tension that Rajine seemed blind to as she continued to pursue the male demon, but I wasn't ready for the moment when all three of them would be honest with their feelings.

"I apologise, I didn't mean to." I heard Monspeet say, his tone even.

"Why do you keep apologising?!" Rajine exclaimed, her voice close to breaking as though she'd been withholding tears for a long while.

"Because I keep unintentionally making mistakes with you." Monspeet replied, his tone still remaining the same.

"Stop making mistakes then dammit!" Rajine exclaimed as she allowed a lone tear to trail down her cheek.

I glanced at Derieri to see her clenching her fists.

"Deri... you need to calm down before you go talk to them." I tried to advise, but the hothead had already landed and stormed ahead, her dark eyes burning with fury.

Before she could land a blow on Monspeet for making her sister cry, I threw myself in front of her, tightly holding her fist in my palm.

"Stop." It was a single word but was said with an authority that she couldn't help but listen to. It must've had something to do with my reputation that I'd managed to build up, or that I was the closest to their leader- Meliodas- in more ways than one.

"Rajine, I think you should go and talk to your sister, take a break. And Derieri, I suggest you take some time to cool down and use your brain before your fists. Don't forget that Monspeet is a trusted comrade." And that he wants nothing more than your happiness.

I signalled for Monspeet to follow me as I walked along the path that didn't lead to anywhere in particular. The boots I wore made quiet clicks along the gravel which were quickly silenced when I made my feet slightly lift from the ground to rid us of the noise that was becoming annoying.

"Your feelings are becoming more obvious." I nonchalantly spoke, looking at him from the corner of my eye.

"I'm afraid I don't know what you're taking about Ashe." He replied in the same tone.

"You can lie to yourself Monspeet, but you can let lie to me." I grinned at the demon.

"Or maybe as you miss Meliodas, you're beginning to think everyone is as in love as you are." He subtly teased.

I had to push down the blush that threatened to creep onto my cheeks as I replaced the flustered expression on my face with a glare that I struggled to hold up.

"I can't lie to you and you can't lie to me. I've seen the way you go to his room at night when you think everyone's asleep. And the way you two always seem to be lost in your own world whenever you're together. It's okay though, he needs someone like you by his side; someone who's love makes him stronger instead of weaker."

I couldn't help but notice how his eyes held a sort of longing feeling as he spoke of me and Meliodas, as though he wished it was him instead. I didn't need to hear it to know who he wished it could be with.

Their story seemed sad and all I wished was for them to get the ending they deserved.

"It seems that your lover doesn't like to stay far." Monspeet observed as he saw Meliodas and Zeldris flying towards us.

A small smile was pushed down as I saw the way his blonde hair moved in the wind and his dark eyes sparkled. I still preferred his green eyes, but these were still pretty.

The brothers landed next to us and Meliodas slowly moved so he was much closer to me and whispered something in my ear. His warm breath tickled my neck as he placed a quick kiss at my pulse point before nodding his head to Zeldris.

Just as quickly as they arrived they left, going towards the main base.

Monspeet had a lazy smirk on his face as he looked at my cheeks which had been dusted in a pale red.

"Shush." I told him, walking away. Stupid demon who I was hopelessly in love with.

A/N: I love Monspeet and Derieri so much. The fact that they don't end up together makes me wanna cry so baddddd.

Anyways hope you guys liked the chapter and sorry for going MIA for like two weeks I had so much packing to do, then I had to go through all the airline procedures and shi.

I'm currently living the life on holiday (not really but we're gonna ignore that) while simultaneously doing my school work that I was given (LITERAL BOOKS TO COMPLETE) and writing my multiple stories that I'll probably never show to anyone. Ever.

Back to this chapter, if you have any requests for me to do other bonus chapters, don't be scared to ask and let me know what you want the chapter to contain.

I'll try having Chapter Three posted as soon as I've fixed the storyline.

Jā na.
