Chapter 12

A/N: I'm sorry for the slow update!! I have a book report due on Monday so I'll try to update :(

Your POV

What in the world just happened?

You ran towards Meliodas but stumbled over again in doing so. This time, the "ground" was starting to walk.

"What in the world is happening!" you yelled. Meliodas walked over to you and patted your head.

"This is Hawk's mom," he simply explained.

Your eyes widened as you tried to peer over the edge. "So...uh..I'm on a giant pig?!"you asked, shocked.

Meliodas nodded and laughed. "She'll be taking us to the places we need to go. In this case, the Forest of White Dreams."

"Forest of White Dreams?" you asked again, finding interest in the name.

"It's a place where even Holy Knights don't dare to enter. Some say it's haunted," Meliodas described.

You shivered. Haunted places aren't really your thing. In fact, that was one of your weaknesses.

"Have you ever been there?" you questioned Meliodas.

"Of course! It's where I found Diane when I tried to reunite the sins."

Diane? As in the Serpent's Sin of Envy?

"So uh...why are we going there exactly?"

"I believe that the sins decided to hide away in the forest," Meliodas replied,"It is a smart decision. The Forest of White Dreams is partnered with heavy fog."

You nodded and decided not to ask anymore questions. Instead, you stood next to him and let the calm wind flow through your (H/C) hair and watched the land below.

•••

You and Meliodas went back inside the Boar Hat when the wind started to howl harder than before.

You went upstairs to your room and sat at the edge of the bed.

I'm exhausted already...

You snuggled up on your bed in a cozy position, getting ready to take a nap.

Meliodas's POV

"Hey, what's wrong?" Hawk asked me as I grabbed a cup of Ale and sat down on a stool.

I sighed and gulped half the beer down. "I'm.....I'm just worried about everyone. Diane would be smart to hide in the forest unless the Holy Knights got there before us."

Hawk snorted. "You miss Elizabeth huh? Only her?"

I nodded. And I wasn't telling a lie. But something tells me I should be saying no. What was it?

"I'm pretty sure your princess is okay. She's strong remember? Nothing could get in her way!" Hawk said, trying to comfort me. I nodded again and finished my cup of beer.

"And besides, she'll always stay strong because she knows you love her. Am I right?" he continued. I smiled. Elizabeth means a lot to me, and soon I'll see her again.

"I'm checking on (Y/N)!" I told him as I walked up the creaking stairs.

I opened the door to her bedroom just a bit and put my mouth near the crack.

"(Y/N?)" I said quietly. No answer.

I opened the door all the way and stepped inside. She was peacefully sleeping, making the blanket rise up and down from her steady breathing. Her hair was spread out on her angel-like face. I sighed.

What am I thinking?

I walked over to the side of the bed and sat down slowly to not disturb (Y/N). I tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear and leaned down slowly towards her face.

I pecked her forehead with a kiss and left the room, soundlessly closing the door.

-Time Skip brought to you by Natsu Dragneel-

"I'm all fired up!"

Author: "Good! Now of with the time Skip! Let's continue the story."

Happy: "Aye sir!"

Your POV

You woke up, slowly lifting your eyelids and rubbing your tired eyes intensely. You yawned, stretched,  and rolled to the edge of the bed.

Where's the sun? I overslept?

Hawk's mom came to a sudden halt, causing you to fall off the bed and making the Boar Hat shake.

"Ouch.." you murmured as you fell to floor. "That hurt.."

You stood yourself up looked out the window.

Woah...

Everything was white. Foggy. No sign of sunlight or living things. All the trees were dead and there were no clear signs of the sins anywhere.

"Oi! (Y/N)! Come down here!!" Meliodas called.

You ran downstairs and out the door. Hawk's mom was buried into the ground again, and right outside the Forest of White Dreams. Everything seemed so gloomy.

OMG ..goosebumps...

Meliodas smiled. "Alright! Let's go!" he said. A sword with a green dragon-like hilt was carried on his back for a weapon (the reason why I didn't mention it earlier is because IM A HORRIBLE AUTHOR). You nodded and walked in between Meliodas and Hawk.

The Forest of White Dreams...

Upon entering the terrifying place, you jumped at every sound you heard. You held on to Meliodas's strong arm and closed your eyes shut.

"Oi, (Y/N) stop being a scaredy-cat. We're here to protect you!!" Hawk spoke up.

"Haha..a-alright.." You stuttered. You inhaled and exhaled slowly and straightened up, although you weren't sure if a cute, round pig like Hawk was capable of protecting you.

"I'm surprised we haven't bumped into those rascals..they were quite fun..." Meliodas murmured.

"What do you mean?" you asked.

"There are creatures here that have the ability to transform into any human or animal appearance they see. For example, one could turn into you, almost like a twin or duplicate."

You nodded. "Wow...are they dangerous?"

"Not really..but it probably might cause you to accidently hurt the original person."

You made an 'o' with your mouth and scrutinized the depressing surroundings.

Hawk started to call out the sins' names.

"Diane!!"
"Ban!!"
"King!!"

You and Meliodas soon joined in.

"Merlin!!"
"Gowther!!"
"Elizabeth!!"

There was a long pause.

Then something broke the silence.

"CAPTAIN!!!"
