Fallen Angel - (Seven Deadly Sins x Reader)

Chapter 50

Gone was the demon that brought forth an angel

Something like a dark magic struck your chest and shook you awake like lightning being made in a storm cloud, rippling through your muscles in a bright agony that had you screaming yourself awake.

It was a Revenge Counter, you knew it, Meliodas had made the attack on you to wake you sharply from her coma in his fleeting moment.

As your eyes snapped open, glowing the brightest white light, you caught sight of all of the commandments on what was left of the battlefield. At the centre.. Meliodas, missing an arm, covered in blood, kneeling in soon defeat of his older brother, Estarossa.

"(Y/n)" he whispered, as blood as rich as the finest wine ran from his lips.

"To be honest, Meliodas" Estarossa hummed as you watched helplessly, "I wish more than anything it didn't have to come to this, this will hurt me so much more than it will you.."

His metal boot crushed down as the sin of wrath was pushed onto his back, a sharp cry of pain leaving his trust.

"(Y/n)" Meliodas whispered again, and his eyes drifted slowly over to you, "my love for you runs the deepest—HRGH!" He yelled in mind splitting pain as 7 demon blades were magically pushed through his heart by Estarossa.

You screamed and the ground cracked beneath them, sand exploding out from the fissure and the violently loud cry of the Wind Walker silenced the demons and holy knights alike. Over the hill, one of the large trees coiled and cracked, splitting open as another beast configuration emerged from the ground, the Jungle Crawler.

Both of them were as tall as two giants, with long, strong necks and contrasting light and dark feather-fur. They erupted up through the earth like messengers of death, instantly laying waste to the landscape around them in fury of their master's sorrow. Throwing yourself against whatever barrier you had been placed in, it shattered around you in sparkling purple shards, disappearing as they smashed into the dirt. Your bare feet hit the earth, and you ran over to Meliodas' still body, a horrifying set of twisted black blades cutting cavity's through his chest. Destroying all of his 7 hearts.

You collapsed at his side, crying your eyes out as your hands pressed against his face and pinned your sweaty forehead against his, "AHHHHHHHH!" You screamed, in agony and loss, as the great, colossal beasts tore at the retreating commandments as they made their escape over the scorched earth.

Ban collapsed onto his knees, watching you as his hands fell limp at his sides, "Cap'n..."

It was like your own heart had been ripped out of your chest, and crushed under the weight of a thousand fallings suns. There was nothing you could do...

And from the ruins of the battle, as the reformed Holy Knights emerged from the wreckages helping civilians who had become trapped under the wrath of the beast configurations, a young man stepped forward. "Melio--.... dad.." Arthur stood still, and his sword dropped onto the grass.

(About than 16 years ago)

Meliodas sat next to your feet, his arms around your lower stomach, swollen from the mysterious baby inside that he had his head pressed up next to, listening to its strange heart beat. He hummed softly, his eyebrows lacing together 

"Explain this to me again... that's not my son? And he's not your baby."

You stroked Meliodas' fluffy blonde hair and nodded, "Its difficult for demons to understand, we don't hatch from crypts like you do" You joked, and Meliodas half-smiled for a moment, then it faded away. You bit your lip and ran your fingers through his hair, "Our high deity, as you know, is the only one capable of creating new angels. When she creates a new angel, she chooses a carrier who will be a protector of that angel until they reach 100, at which they can ascend to heaven to fight for her."
