The gap between us - ( Seven deadly sins)

Chapter 19 - Your father!?

- Melody Pov -

"My father's name is Zeldris Wrathen, he's a detective. My mum left before she could tell him she was pregnant. They were 19 at the time and my dad had an older brother who was 23 and already a father to twins. I'm actually here looking for my uncle and father." She confessed. I was shocked and tears started falling down my face. She looked at me with confusion.
"Why are you crying?" She asked as I wiped away the stray tears with my hand.

"Z-zeldris is my u-uncle." I stammered. She gasped in shock.

"S-so that means you're Meliodas' daughter?" She whispered. I nodded. "I was told that you had a sister...where is she?"

I shook my head sadly. "She died when we were young, a sickness that was passed down from my mother's side that had also taken my grandmother's life was triggered when we went outside while it was snowing. There was nothing we could have done. One second she was chasing me. The next she was dead in the snow; collapsed from overexertion." I softly chuckled as I wiped more tears with the palm of my hand. "She died with a smile on her face."

Zenita looked down gloomily.
"I'm sorry, I never had siblings, it was always just my mother and I, so that must've been tough. What about your mother, how is she?" Zenita stopped as she noticed me shaking my head.

"She's also long dead, murdered by a man driven only by selfishness, lust and rage. His name was...Mael." As I said his name the light in the storage closet flickered and went out.

"Fuck! Someone cut the power to the school!" Zenita hissed and grabbed my hand. "You can see, right? Since I'm both vampire and demon I have the ability to see in the dark." She explained as I watched her open the door and drag me out into the lifeless hallway; all windows were covered, stopping any light from coming through. Idiot.

"Yeah, of course, I'm a demon."

She chuckled.

"That's good to know, we should really sit down and have a good chat after this is over, right Melody?"

"Of course."

I looked behind me as I felt a chill go up my spine. There was someone chasing us, but I couldn't see them, even with my natural born ability.

"Zenita, he's behind us." I panicked as my cousin kept running and loosened her grip on my hand.

"I know, I felt it too."

I let go of her hand suddenly and halted, she kept running for a bit and then stopped.

"What are you doing!? They could have a gun!" She yelled quietly, eyes wide and face twisted with fear.

I looked her dead in the eyes. "I am my father's daughter, so I can't keep running from this supercilious bastard. I'll meet you outside." The seriousness of my tone reflecting in my facial features.

She huffed, clenching her fists. "No way! I'm staying here with you!"

I gave a quick nod, saying. 'thanks.' to my cousin. I heard loud and calculated footsteps; my body was shaking as I felt Percy standing behind me, waiting. I turned around, confronting our foe with a deadly aura. I gulped, I was scared. "Who are you really and why are you doing all of this!?" I interrogated the boy standing In front of me. I could feel my hearts beating really fast.

"I'm still Percy, but not the Percy I presented myself as to begin with."
He sniggered and pulled out a knife from seemingly thin air. "Because all you disgusting demons are the same. You even look the same. Father told me about you, Melody. He wanted me to tell you how lovely it felt killing your whore of a mother." I edged back a step and he took one forward."If you weren't a demon I would have thought of you as girlfriend material, but too bad since you're already pregnant with that damned fairies child. How disgraceful for him to lower himself for scum such as yourself. Worthless bitch." Percy licked the knife and his smile grew. "Your father put mine in jail. So I'll take you and lock you up. Killing that thing inside of you should be fun."

"SHUT UP!" I screamed. I felt my cousins eyes burning into the back of my neck. "I DIDN'T WANT THIS CHILD! LEAVE HELBRAM OUT OF THIS! LEAVE MY COUSIN OUT OF THIS TOO!" My mark was full on raging on my forehead. "AND GO TELL YOUR FATHER TO STICK A DRILL UP HIS ASS AND GET FUCKED, CAUSE I'LL FIND HIM AND SLIT HIS THROAT, DRAIN THE BLOOD FROM HIS BODY AND THEN FEED HIM TO YOU!"

He laughed at this as if it were a joke. "Your own uncle couldn't even kill him and he had a clean shot, I'd like to see you try." Percy started walking towards me.

"that's far enough fuck face, say another thing about my father or cousin and I'll crush your skull like a dead leaf." Zenita threatened as she grabbed me and pulled me behind her.

"Zenita."

"Come at me, you half-cast degenerate!" He roared and lunged at her.
