The serial killer's son

12

-Elizabeth's POV-

I sighed as I heard the doll bell ring. Quickly pulling on my dress over my bikini.

I made my way downstairs, opening the door to see Meliodas standing there. He had a big bag hanging from his shoulder.

"I  don't have a choice, do I?" I mumbled. He shook his head, pulling me out of the house and closed the door behind me.

"Let me take your things. I will take care of them."

I shook my head, refusing. If I have to run away again, I need my things.

"Okay then, come on, the taxi is waiting for us..." he said, making me nod as he led me to the taxi.

I went in and he did shortly after, just like last time, he sat down beside me and hugged my waist, leaning his head on my shoulder.

The taxi driver drove the taxi as I just looked out the window, thinking about what will soon happen.

"Where are we going?" I asked as I saw that we just drove further and further away from home.

"Same place like last time."

"B-but it's s-so deep-"

"The water is hot and clear. If you go under water, I will see immediately where you are. Besides, it's no other people there, we will be all alone. It will be fine, I'm with you all way."

"You better be." I mumbled, getting out as soon as the taxi stopped. Meliodas went out right after, saying "It will be fine, I promise. I would never want anything bad to happen you."

I just ignored that as he led me through the forest, to the beach and lastly to the cave. He put his bag down on the ground before pulling up a blanket and put down.

"Here, you can put your things on the blanket so it won't get dirty while we bathe." Meliodas said as he stretched out his blanket. I put my things down on it as Meliodas stood up and looked at me.

"Go on..."

"W-what?" I asked.

"Take of your clothes, I'm waiting." He said, making me blush, saying "I-I think I-I rather watch y-you bath a-alo-"

"No, I will teach you how to swim. Strip down now." He said, pulling off his own clothes until he was in shorts. Trying my best to not think about all the bad things that could possibly happen, I slowly pulled off my dress.

"Let's start with getting into the water."

I shook my head, still feeling scared.

"I-it's deep..."

"Okay, just come here and dip your feet in the water first." He said and sat down at the edge. Doing as told, I went to sit at the edge. Meliodas got closer to me and put an arm around my waist.

"Just relax Elizabeth, everything is fine."

"N-no, I-I w-w-w-will j-just drown a-and d-"

"I'm here, I won't let anything happen to you. The worst that could happen is that you give up."

"I-I don't t-think i can d-do t-thi-"

"Shh, take your time. Get used to the water first, then we take the next step."

I nodded slowly, staring down at the water. After a couple of minutes of trying to not think negativity, Meliodas pushed himself over the edge and got into the water.

"Come here Elizabeth, get into the water now."

"I-I'm not ready y-"

"I'm here if anything would happen. Hold my hand if you want to."
