A Band Is Not A Sin #Wattys2016

Chapter 4 To Impress The Band

I unfortunately do not own any of the "Seven Deadly Sins" characters, just the plot line and any original OC's that may appear. I also do not own the song Chandelier by Sia.

Thankfully before anyone could be offended or worse the arrived at the gym. Meliodas unlocked it letting everyone inside. Elizabeth looked around the gym. It was like most of them with a couple basketball hoops and all of the lines for different sports.

"So how did you get permission to use this?" Elizabeth asked. But no one seemed to be around until King popped up behind her. She jumped, her hand flew to her chest in shock.

"Ban used his 'charm' to get permission from the dean of students at our college. They recommended this place because hardly anyone uses it anymore." He answered leaning back on a bean bag that he must've pulled out of one of the closets.

"That would make sense," she admitted putting both hands behind her back. She watched as each member collected their own instruments and setting them up. Except King who stayed on his beanbag chair. After a few minutes they had everything set up and were warming up a little.

"You'd probably better get warmed up yourself," Meliodas called over to Elizabeth who had started a conversation with King about writing songs and the trouble of harmonies. She said she would have to finish the conversation with him later and went over near the others.

"Are there any songs that you want me to sing in particular?" She asked looking at the rest of them. They all seemed to smile to each other before Diane replied with "Chandelier by Sia,". Nodding Elizabeth turned back towards King to do a few warm ups and saw that he was shaking his head and laughing?

After she finished the warm ups she checked to make sure everyone was ready and took her place at the microphone. Closing her eyes she took a deep breath to check if the microphone was on. It was. These guys want a show don't they? She wondered smiling widely she then thought Well I'll give them one.

The music started up and she prepared mentally determined not to loose her place, and then it started.

Bold - Elizabeth

Party girls don't get hurt can't feel anything when will I learn I push it down I push down.

I'm the one for "a good time call" phone blowin up ringing my door I feel the love, feel the love.

King was nodding approvingly as she sang out. It was starting alright and as she sang the next few verses most of them could mentally agree she was good. Then she hit the chorus and they were amazed.

I'm gonna swing from the chandelier
I'm gonna love like tomorrow doesn't exist
like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night
Feel my tears as they dry
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier

Diane stopped for only a slight second as the emotion hit her. Elizabeth didn't sound like Sia, she still owned the song as if she had written it herself. After Diane did realize she stopped she caught up.

Ban only nodded not even looking up from his guitar. Meliodas seemed enchanted hearing the music and also playing it. But he it was an out of body experience.

Elizabeth noticed none of this however. Her mind was in the music and her body was acting it out. It seemed that her body and voice were two different beings in a pre planned dance.

'Cause I'm just holding for tonight
'Cause I'm just holding for tonight
Oh, I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight
On for tonight

The last lines keep them on the edge of their imaginary seats. When she finished she finally opened her eyes and smiled shyly. Everyone else smiled at each other, something truly great had happened here today. Luckily enough it happened to the group of people who had needed it the most.

"So what did you think?" She asked the adrenaline of singing was still running through her veins. Elizabeth bit her lip nervously however, because she did have a tendency to run away with her singing.

King clapped instead of using words, Diane joined him. Ban just shook his head putting his electric guitar down with great care. Meliodas was the only one to speak, and what he said was good enough for her.

"I'm so glad we recruited you," she smiled widely and felt her heart soar. Because if she had been honest with herself right then. She was glad that they had recruited her as well.

Okay so I personally don't like it when band fanfics have a whole lot of lyrics written in so I've made it my goal to try and keep those to a minimum. I hope you guys are happy with it so far!
