#43 Please.. Come Back To Me

This is an AU of Broken where Zeldris actually searched for and found Meliodas during the whole demon slavery thing. Now he just needs to find a way to bring him back. Also if you haven't read Broken, I recommend doing so before reading this. Also I know it's a bit of a rough write, but Broken will be redone sometime in the future.

The hooded figure looked once more at his map, praying that this new home would be the one as most others had been crossed off. The demon had looked all over the continent for his brother, and most homes with a demon slave had already been explored, leaving one of two explanations:

One, his brother was out of country. Or two, his brother had been killed.

Either of these made him shiver in disgust and fear as he had no way to leave the country and didn't have enough magic to be able to bring back his brother if he were dead. That's why he was desperate for this house to be it. Because there were only two more to check if it wasn't..

Taking a deep breath to calm his nerves and making sure his hood was in place so his identity wouldn't be seen, he calmly marched his way to the home to see for himself if it was the right one.

"H-Hello?"

A tall skinny man answered the door, a mark branding his hand and proving that it was indeed the wrong house.

"Are there any other slaves here? You may speak."

"N-No sir.. Th-There aren't."

He sighed in defeat before thanking the demon and walking off.

Only two more to go... please have one of them be it.

They weren't. Two more houses that were three hours apart by foot, and neither had the blond boy he was looking for. Sitting down on a nearby log as he headed back to his cabin in the woods, he put his head in his hands and stayed like that as he was at his wits end.

"What do I do now...?"

Of course his answer was met with silence, but the quiet allowed him to think and come up with an idea that might help him. He had thought of it before, but at at time of starting this adventure, didn't have enough magic ot skills. Now however.. it was possible for him to pull it off.

Taking out his last remaining item of his sibling, he took a deep breath as he knew it would mean sacrificing it if he were to do this.

Most would be glad to, but he was actually afraid and a bit sad. This item, this little stuffed bear, was the most precious thing he owned..

Meliodas had grown up with and given it to him without a thought so it could comfort the boy from nightmares whenever the blond couldn't, that's why it had meant so much to him after his brother had been captured. After all... his brother wasn't there to help him anymore, so all he had left was this.

He would gladly give it up if it meant his brother would come back, however... the only thing it would do was lead the ravenette to his sibling. Therefore if his brother was dead... he would've wasted the last thing he had from him just to find a grave. But... wasn't knowing what had happened to him still better then nothing?

Taking another deep breath, he began to chant the spell while the item he had been holding started to move on its own. The movement was jerky and confused at first as it tried to locate the blond, but soon it was taking off with the ravenette hot on its tail.

This is it. After four years of searching... this will decide my brother's fate.

The bear moved for several minutes, maybe even a few hours as the boy forced himself to chase it regardless of his limbs protesting the constant movement.
