#70 Darkened Heart And Mind. (Sequal Series)

Elizabeth's first sensation upon waking up was pure, and total, agony. The painful sensation spread throughout her whole body as it originated from her back. Feeling alarmed, dazed, and like she could barely breath from the pain, the girl tentively looking behind her to try to see the cause. Her mind was hazy about what had happened to land her in this odd and dark place until two broken wings came into sight.

That's.. That's right. Meliodas... betrayed us. H-He took the scroll. I...I trusted him and doomed the realms to complete and total darkness. Elaine, Ban, Escanor... all of their sacrifices will be for nothing! Even Meliodas's himself....  He will undo everything he fought for previously, hope, light... me...

That last one hurt more then her wings laying uselessly on the hard stone floor. He had been right, no matter how cold and cruel his words were..

Funny.. coming from the girl who killed hope...

They echoed on repeat in her mind while her tears falling and splattering on the cold floor only added to the horrible anthem of anguish.

Drip

Don't worry Ellie...

Drop

I need you...

Drip

to trust me..

Oh but she did... that was the problem.. always so trusting and niave.. She had trusted him, and now everyone was going to die because of it..

Drop.

Everything will be okay...

Drip

Oh but it won't be and it wasn't. They were going to be sealed away... countless people had died... All because Elizabeth had let her feelings get in the way...

Drop

You always made dealing with this war so much easier. I'm happy you're okay.

Drip

He had died for her that day... had given up everything for her. All for her safety even as it was threatened by the same boy now. Oh if only it had been her instead. If she had been turned Meliodas could still be the bright boy she loved, and the one everyone needed. After all.... everyone needed hope more then they needed her... and he would make a great king for the kingdom. She should've been the one to go..

Drop

Elizabeth felt helpless, useless, alone, worthless, and worst of all...

Complete, and total despair was consuming her... and she didn't have any hope left to fight it.

The tears flowing freely, and no fight left in her... she stayed there on the floor of what she recognized as a cell as the waves of agony slowly turned to numbness and apathy. After all.. the goddess was to die soon. She should at least come to terms with her fate before it comes for her.

Speaking of which..

Looking up from her spot on the floor as she heard the sounds of locks clicking and metal creaking, the goddesses eyes widened at seeing an old friend who had been lost years ago.

"B-Ban.."

"Heya Princess. Horrible seeing ya again."

Meliodas was relieved to be back in his quarters with the mission finally over, however the nagging feeling in his stomach over seeing Elizabeth being dragged off with that look of complete heartbreak- before being knocked out- was sticking with him in an annoying way.
