Cameron meets The Seven Deadly Sins

Chapter 13: Sleeping Troubles & A Mother's Embrace

Soon everyone was fast asleep in their rooms, well everyone except me, I couldn't sleep for I was worried about the people I loved and cared for and how my world was doing as I remained missing, and I was still afraid that I would have that same nightmare again, So I hopped out of bed without waking up Meliodas or Elizabeth and quietly walked over to the window and looked out at the moon shinning brightly in the night sky, I sighed sadly as I began thinking about my friends and family that I accidentally left behind, as I gazed out to the moon Elizabeth sat up quietly in the bed for she noticed that I wasn't there and looked towards the window and found me sitting there gazing up at the sky, she could see that something was troubling me, so she cautiously got out of bed and walked over to me, "Having trouble sleeping Cameron?", she asked softly, I jumped and turned round in surprise, I didn't think that Elizabeth would notice that I was gone, "E-Elizabeth!?", I gasped quietly, "Sorry I didn't meant to startle you.", Said Elizabeth apologetically before sitting next to me at the window and gazing at the sky as well, "I-It... It's alright.", I replied with a gloom on my face looking up back to the moon longingly, "Thinking about your world?", Asked Elizabeth kindly, I hesitated for a bit, but soon I spoke, "Y-yes ma'am... I-I am...", I replied shakily, Elizabeth's face fell as she knew from the story Meliodas told her and others about my world and that I had a nightmare that something bad was happening to it, then she noticed a single tear slowly running down my face, then I sniffled and wiped my eyes, at that moment I felt something wrap around my shoulder, then around my body, it was Elizabeth's arms holding me in a warm embrace, she then pulled me closer to her body like a mother hugging their child when they're afraid, "There, There little one." She said in her soft, gentle, soothing, and quite motherly voice, "Don't worry, everything is going to be alright, and you'll be back home in your world soon, I promise.", I looked at her warm, gentle face and then I began to weep solemnly, as the words echoed in my mind knowing that it was going to be a long time before they would find a way for me to get back home, but they were determined to do their best to do so, "Shhh. shhh, Hush now little one, don't cry.", Elizabeth said comfortingly, "I'm sorry miss Liones,...", I said quietly, "I'm just so afraid that I'll never see my friends or family ever again.", I added with a quiet sob, "I understand darling, but please no more weeping, I promise you'll reunite with them once we figure out how to get you home.", Replied Elizabeth with spirit, this made me feel better, I yawned quietly and began to feel sleepy, "Come on little one, let's get some sleep.", Elizabeth whispered kindly, suddenly I felt myself being lifted up off my feet with ease, and before I knew it Elizabeth was carrying back to the bed, but was now too tired to say or do anything else and fell peacefully asleep, "Having sleeping troubles?", asked Meliodas who had overheard everything, "And how?", Replied Elizabeth sleepily, "He's alright now.", "That's good to hear.", Said Meliodas smiling, and soon Elizabeth gently placed me next to Meliodas and then between him and herself when she crawled into the bed, then she gently wrapped her arms around me and held on to me for the rest of the night and surprisingly I did the same, Meliodas smiled happy to see that I was now sleeping peacefully in Elizabeth's motherly embrace.

Finally I was seen for what I truly am... A Friend.
