FOR THE LOVE OF A DEMON

chapter 24: into the abyss

"Oh wow, ain't this fantastic,"

Ahmya looked around. There was nothing but darkness similar to Melascula's ability. She looked down at her feet before raising her hands and looking at them. She could see her body, but looking up and around again there was no light source.

"Lio!" She shouted stepping forward. "Captain!.. Meliodas!"

"Is this about your nose?!"

Ahmya started walking although it felt like she was walking on the spot. She turned around from where she came from, still seeing the endless darkness with no horizon.

"It probably healed by now-" she was in the middle of turning around yet again before a fist was hurling in her direction.

She groaned as she landed on her behind, one hand holding her bleeding nose.

~~~~

Ahmya's body fell to the side against the perfect cube as her nose started bleeding.

Diane covered her mouth with her hands after letting out a squeak of surprise.

~~~~

She opened her eyes full after scrunching them in pain. Meliodas was offering his hand to her. Using the non-bloody one she took it.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Drop the shit Lio, you're an emotionless psycho, remember?" Ahmya scoffed as she wiped her bloody hand on her... white dress?

She didn't notice but she was in a white dress that flared out at her mid-thigh. The bloodstain disappeared as well as the blood on her hand and face.

"Is this how you see me?" Her eyes widened. She turned away from him to not so subtlety look under her dress. "Really?"

Meliodas ignored her choosing to look off into the nothingness.

"Why is everything black, I imagined boobs and asses. It is kinda dark y'know," 

He smirked.

"Keep your thoughts to yourself demon," she finally turned to face him. "Now let's talk."

"About what? When I am done healing, I'll head to Zeldris and Estarossa have them gather the commandments, once I have them, I'll absorb the power and break our curse," he said without missing a beat.

Ahmya held back a scowl. She's known for a while. Meliodas and the kin were forming a plan behind her back.  "Did Duke, tell you this?"

Meliodas' eye crinkled slightly.

"So this was your plan? This is what you've been doing behind my back. I wouldn't be surprised if accepting this form was part of the plan, after all, it did restore one of my hearts,"

Meliodas didn't even try to hide his shock, eyes widening and mouth opening slightly.

"Ever since I got my grace back, something I lost a long time ago, I've been slowly regaining my memories. Seeing Kiri again, everything just came rushing back," she shrugged.

"I know where Derieri is. She's with Monspeet in a human village. They've been crashing there ever since you almost killed them. I'll help you if you leave them to me,"

Save Elizabeth from the curse and make sure her old friends stay safe, it was her safest bet. Right now, helping Lio was on the bottom of her to-do list. She knows how she'll get Zeldris on his side it was Estarossa she was worried about.

Helping them also means she gets to see Zeldris again, after all, he was the reason Elizabeth regained her memories which would lead to her own death. There was also the fact that the Kin are probably with him, she'll give them a piece of her mind when she sees them.
