Survive

Trust

-Meliodas POV-

"What do you mean don't touch her?!" The girl nearly yelled back, making me say "I mean, don't touch her!"

"Meliodas, she's just my sister, Margaret." Elizabeth said and put a hand on my shoulder. I sighed and said "Fine, but don't go out of reach."

-Elizabeth's POV-

I walked over to Margaret and we walked away a bit from the others to catch up some time, but not out too long.

"Who was that weirdo?" She asked. That made me blush a bit. She saw it and asked "Do you like him?" in shock.

"N-no, or y-yes or... I don't know. He is really nice and protective of me." I answered honestly. Then she asked "Who are he anyways? When did you two meet?"

"W-well, don't freak out." I said, earning a nod from her.

"He is Meliodas. The criminal." I said and looked away as she asked "What?"

"Y-yeah." I said. Worried, she asked "Don't tell me you like him."

"I don't know. He's nothing like everyone says. He is so kind and gentle and he always protects me from anything." I answered.

"You shouldn't trust him." Margaret said stern. I sighed and said "You don't know him, he is nicer then you think. Just get to know him a bit."

"Fine, but if he ever do anything to you, then I will tell the police." She said, making me giggle and ask "What police? Everyone is zombies."

"Well, I, eh, okay, I will get him in jail myself." She said while I giggled more. The we heard a "Ugghhh, uugggggh."

As fast as possible, we turned around and fell on the ground. Margaret screamed and closed her eyes eyes while I stopped screaming when I saw who it was.

"Ban?! Why did you do that?" I asked, being happy it wasn't any zombies for real. He started laughing as Meliodas ran over to us immediately.

Margaret slowly opened her eyes to see Ban in front of us. Ban just laughed like it was the funniest thing he ever seen as Meliodas arrived just before Margaret opened her eyes.

"You okay?" Meliodas asked and helped me up. With a nod, I said "Yes, thank you."

He smiled and then asked "What happened?" while Margaret got up by herself.

"I acted like a zombie and they fell for it!" Ban said while laughing. Me and Margaret nodded while Meliodas glared a bit on Ban.

"Great, I was about to shot you when they screamed." Meliodas said angrily. It was first now I noticed that the gun was in his hand.

After putting the gun away, Meliodas took my hand and we all walked back to the others. I noticed that Margaret saw us holding hands and that made me blush when I thought about it.

When we arrived, everyone was waiting for us in. We was all in a circle.

Me beside Meliodas, then Margaret beside me. After that come Gelda followed by Zeldoris and next Gowther. Then King and after him was Diane. Then it was Elaine and lastly Ban beside her and Meliodas.

"Good, you are back. We need to go. We have no food and it won't take long before the zombies will come." Zeldoris said.

"Wait, the zombies is after you too?" Margaret asked, making us all look at her a bit confused. Diane is the one saying "They are after everyone, they are zombies."

"But they didn't take me when they come, just... just Gilthunder." Margaret said, making us all more confused before Elaine asked "You are talking about the infected people right? The ones with red eyes and white skin?"

Margaret shook her head and said "No, t-those men, one white haired with blue eyes and one black haired with purple eyes."

"Hendrickson and Dreyfus." Gelda said as us other, except Elaine, nodded. Margaret looked confused and asked "Excuse me, but what?"

"They are using people as guinea pigs, Meliodas, Gelda and Zeldoris being three of them that fled. Elizabeth was about to become one too if we didn't flee in time." Gowther explained, making Margaret look at me worriedly.

"So, where are we going?" Elaine asked to change the subject. Meliodas was the one saying "Before the group split up for the first time, I memorized the map, so it shouldn't be so many people nor zombies at Edinburgh with all the zombies constantly moving after more people."

-Margaret's POV-

Everyone seem to trust that Meliodas so easily. I don't trust him in the last. Not even if my life depends on it and it is exactly what it does.

"I still don't trust you Meliodas, so why would we follow you?" The one who introduced himself to be King a while ago asked the same question I wanted to ask.

"I have already told you, you don't need to follow me, no of you need, it's your own choice. Go if you want, I will go to Edinburgh anyway because I'm going to survive this mess called apocalypse." Meliodas answered. Still don't trust him.

"I'm going on my own, who is with me?" King asked. I wanted to, but I need to stay with Elizabeth to make sure she is okay.

Everything was quiet. Total silence until the one I think was Diane said "Stop it King. Just because he is a criminal doesn't mean that you can't trust him in a situation like this. I know we haven't known each other that long, but we need to trust each other to survive!"

"Eh, ehhhh, D-Dia- fine, I'm coming with you guys." King said with crossed arms. Well, I still don't trust Meliodas.

I looked at Elizabeth who was blushing a bit, then I saw her holding hands with that criminal again.

I can't stand this. My sister falling for a criminal? If Veronica was here, she would already have killed him because of that.

"Okay, let's go to Edinburgh!" Elaine said as Ban said "Yeah!"

With that, we went off. Meliodas leading the way with Elizabeth beside him as they held hands.
