They Call Her Queen •Completed•

°The Ten Commandments Now Nine°

Queen was lounging on the table the next morning, her eyes bloodshot and the bags under them were dark, "Queen where have you been? Have you been up all night?" Meliodas asked with a hint of concern, the girl groggily lifted up her head, her eyes piercing but she was too tired to retort, "Why is it Mel...everytime I fall in love, the person I want just leaves." She mumbled softly, Meliodas felt his brow crinkle, "What...I know you aren't talking about me Q." He said sitting on a chair, "Ban..I'm talking about the Fox." She mumbled, her eyes glassy, Meliodas's breath hitched and he thought back to when Queen first started work. Ban had been unusually restless that night, even with Elaine at his side, he had disappeared for a bit before coming back, a wry smile on his face that Meliodas couldn't put his finger on. Then there was the hunger in his eyes that always came out when Queen was around, the way they dragged on the marks on her neck and eyes, how he wouldn't tease her like the others. Meliodas knew Ban had been drifting away from the little Elaine ever since they had gotten her back, of course he still loved her but he knew the love wasn't as much as it should have been. His hand tentatively touched hers, entwining his fingers with his ex lover, "Is he the mystery man that has been leaving you breathless everytime you come back from your Bar?" The girl nodded her chest shaking heavily, no more words could be said because there was a deep rumbling occurring outside the bar, everyone ran outside, Queen at the forefront with Meliodas.

"My, My....everyone's here...even little Hera..." Melascula hissed, the girl had an indifferent face as she leaned back against the wall of the bar, "If it isn't the horny and desperate snake." Queen shot back, the Demon hissed louder till Estarossa raised his hand to silence the woman, "Brother Meliodas, Queen Hera, it is a pleasure to see you both again."He said, a smile gracing his face, Queen bit her lip, the man was looking at her intently, with a hunger in his eyes that made her shiver a bit, "Why are you here?" Merlin asked, floating forward with her orb, "Well since you sent a little spy to see us, we had to return the favor and check on you." Derieri said, looking at the group with a sneer, "Hmm...someone smells, like they are lying about something." Galand said, looking over everyone, Queen froze as did Ban as they were quiet and looking straight ahead, Galand stared at the Fox sin of Greed, reappearing behind him and pulling down his collar, "Ah I see a very faint...love mark I believe it is called." Elaine looked up at Ban in shock, the smaller girl trembled next to him, her hand clawing at the taller male, "What...Ban what is that..I-I never did that who-" Ban raised his hand, "Elaine just leave it alone." He said his voice hard, even though King wanted to protest at the cruel and harsh reaction that Ban had given his sister he didn't when Diane stopped him, "King...Ban is the one Queen has been talking about." She whispered, the Fairy's eyes widened as he looked at Ban and Queen, both their body languages were turned away from each other, one in defense as if trying to shield herself from someone and the other wanting to hold and rush forward but held himself back. "Tch tch tch, now who would the Fox sin of greed leave his little lady for I wonder." Galand said, as he walked forward, "We all remember how angry you were when she was momentarily brought back from the dead, how your eyes saddened when you realized she would die again." He chortled, before Ban could make a move, Galand's head was chopped off, along with his body sliced into tiny pieces that it almost looked like it could be used for sashimi. The Ten Commandments were in shock, while the Sins looked up to see Queen, a rather big scythe in her hand, the black blood dripping off the handle. she struck her scythe back, the blood hitting the floor with a loud thud as she put a heeled boot on Galand's head, "Now anyone else want to make fun of the Fox huh?"

Ban was reeling from what just happened, he took in the protective stance Queen now had in front of him and Elaine, blocking them from view, Elaine was still upset, he could feel her eyes wandering to his neck, he sighed in the inside, the mark he allowed Queen to give was because he knew how much she wanted him to show she was his, in the club they would walk around, his hand around her waist, his towering figure engulfing her small one, both of them scary figures with his red eyes and her dark black eye engulfing the darkness while her red one glinted both rather imposing. At first he knew it was wrong, he had only meant to go watch over her because she was dancing at this club, but then he saw her, her outfit so much actually exactly like his, her tattoo on her inner thigh looked so much more provocative than it should have, and the way she moved, before he knew it he had her in that room and all to himself. He still couldn't believe how responsive she was to him, how she ached for him to touch her even if it was just a hug. He knew it was wrong, he loved his little Elaine, she was his doll, but recently she just wanted to hug and cuddle him, she pushed her cheek forward for kisses and when he wanted to hold her she would lightly push him away and turn around, Queen was always attentive to him, even when they were sleeping in the same room all those years ago. He would cry into her chest about how much he missed Elaine, and whenever he had nightmares the smaller woman would gently sing to him in the night, it was then he realized he truly didn't love Elaine the same way he loved Queen, now looking at the woman, the woman whom now undoubtedly hated him because of his lies, standing in front of him and his fairy lover, protecting them all from the Ten Commandments.

"She killed Galand." Gloxinia said, watching as the girl simply tilted her head, "Now which one of you is next?"
