The serial killer's son

4

-Elizabeth's POV-

I felt nervous as I went to school once again. I don't want to face Meliodas after I ran away from him... I hope he isn't too sad that I reject him...

"Elizabeth!" I heard as I went into the classroom. I gave Diane a small smile before walking up to my seat beside hers.

"So? Did you go yesterday? He kind of looks a bit sad..." Diane whispered the last. Looking back, I just saw Meliodas stare at me like usually, just that he did look a bit more sad today...

With a small sigh, I just mumbled "I will tell you at lunch..."

She just nodded.

. . . . .

I pulled Diane to a table in the cafeteria. As we ate our lunch, I told her everything from yesterday. From me arriving at the boar hat, how he had decorated it, him opening up slightly about his adoptive parents, him telling me he loved me, the kisses, all the way to me running out of the bar hat all the way home.

She listened carefully at my story before saying "Well, if you knew each other better and you loved him back, that would be quite romantic..."

"W-what?! D-Diane! I'm scared to face him! I-It will be so embarrassing and-"

"And you should stop talking now." Diane hushed, making me ask "Why?"

All she did was slightly point behind me, making me turn around to see Meliodas standing there with a bouquet of flowers.

"I'm sorry for yesterday." He said, put the flowers on the table behind me and walked away with a sad expression.

"Now I feel even worse." I replied, looking at the flowers he gave me.

"It might be some note on them, look after one."

Nodding I picked up the bouquet, looking for some kind of note. After about five minutes of looking, I saw one.

"Here it is..." I mumbled, pulling it onto the table and opening it.

I'm sorry for yesterday, I don't want you to feel uncomfortable around me. Also, if you don't have anyone to go with and is free that evening, would you want to go on the Valentine's dance with me?

I passed Diane the note for her to read. She read through it slowly before she said "Aww, this was cute. He was too shy to ask you out directly, so he asked with a note... will you accept him?"

"W-what?"

"Look, I'm still not trusting him completely, but so far, he doesn't seem so bad. I think we could safely conclude that he's nothing like the rumours about him says." Diane said, giving me the note back. I just re-read it again.

"I don't know... I barely know him..." I mumbled. Diane sighed, asking "Sooooo, how will you reject him? You can't possibly just say 'sorry, I don't like you, so no' , can you?"

"I'm not sure, this is so confusing..." I mumbled.

. . . . .

Finally, the school day has ended.

"I will just go to the bathroom, I'm coming back soon." I spoke to Diane who was packing things into her backpack from her locker.

"Okay." She replied as I walked away. Once I was done doing my business, I went out of the stall to wash my hands... just to see someone I didn't expect.

"W-what are you doing here? This is the girls bathroom..." I mumbled as I went to was my hands. Meliodas went to stand beside me, waiting for me to be done.

Then he suddenly pulled me back into the stall I was in before, making me sit down on the toilet lid as he locked the door.

"Will you go to the dance with me?" He asked, making me say "I'm s-sorry, but I-I don't think s-so-"

"I want to go with you. You are not going without me." He said, making me say "You can't decide tha-"

He pushed me against the wall, his lips against mine. He pinned down my wrists into my lap as I tried to break free from his grip.

I struggled to pull him away. He was so much stronger than me...

He separated, just to catch some air before kissing me again.

"I have missed your sweet lips..." He whispered to me, kissing me all over the face.

"L-Let go of me! I-I-I don't w-want this!"

"You are mine now Elizabeth. I gave you two chances to accept me from the start, but you ignored it. You have to face me like this now." He said, pushing himself up against me.

"I-I-I will tell m-my parents a-and contact t-the police i-f you c-continue l-like this!" I threatened. I felt him smile into my neck as he placed some kisses there.

"You wouldn't dare... you don't want your parents or sisters to get hurt... do you?" He threatened back, planting some more kisses on my neck.

"W-what? I-I thought you wasn't l-like your father, l-like the rumours said!" I whispered. He just mumbled "I'm not like my father... I'm not torturing people, I just kill them. I'm not like the rumours, I do have a heart, I have emotions. I'm just expressing them with actions."

"Y-you are a monster!"

"You love me, say it. Say that you love me."

"N-never!"

His grip on my wrist tightened and he pushed his body towards mine tightly, so tight I couldn't breathe.

"Tell me you love me. Then I will let you go for now." He replied, making me just mumble "N-never!"

The next thing I knew, I fell unconscious.

-Diane's POV-

After waiting for Elizabeth at my locker a while, I started getting slightly worried.

Time passed and when most people had left, I saw Meliodas walk towards me with an unconscious Elizabeth in his arms.

"W-what are you doing to Elizabeth?!" I asked, running up to him.

"I found her in the hallway passed out... I don't know where she lives." He replied, making me smile. He really does care for her, doesn't he?

"I will take her home, don't worry."

He nodded and placed her in my arms and I carried her home.
