Chapter 26

"How about we settle in Byron?" Ban suggested, tucking his hands into his pockets.

Meliodas thought for a moment. "Uh, I thought we kinda...made a scene there already?"

You gazed at the two. "What happened?" you asked out of curiousity.

Elizabeth giggled, a sweat drop appearing on her head. "Um well, let's say that town supports the idea of wanting us captured."

You made an 'o' with your lips. "Okay, so what's the plan?"

Everyone was deciding where to travel to next. Finding a place to settle down peacefully was difficult due to the recent battles and trailing holy knights.

Meliodas brushed his hand through his hair. "I believe that camping near Byron won't be so bad. As long as we don't cause a lot of ruckus, the villagers won't find us."

"Wow, having that come from you makes no sense," mumbled Ban.

Meliodas gave him a little glare. You giggled and sighed.

"Okay, I'm fine with that."

Elizabeth nodded. "I'll go get King and Diane so we can get going."

Everyone else entered the Boar Hat. Meliodas grabbed a cup of Ale and chugged it down.

"(Y/N), does anyone in your family have powers?"

You pondered on that question. You realized you had  no real clarification on abnormal activity in your relatives' history. You shook your head.

"Actually, I don't think so. Well, I don't even know," you answered doubtfully.

Meliodas nodded. He placed the cup down and walked up to you.

"Let me see your hands," he said sternly.

You nodded and slowly lifted them up. Meliodas held them in his own, rough hands and started to massage your wrists with his thumbs.

You blushed. "Uh...what are you doing?"

Meliodas continued to do the procedure. "I'm gonna try to activate it again. I think it reacts to a tingly feeling or sign of danger."

You bit your lip and watched. Nothing felt different, nor did that weird vibe appear.

Meliodas sighed and stopped. "Hm..we'll see if we can do it later. Go get some rest, okay?"

"Alright," you responded, and went up to your bedroom.

You face planted right into the soft mattress of the bed. Exhaustion quickly began to teem over you. Within every second, your eyes got closed as darkness overcame your sight.

•••

It was dark. Pitch black. There was no light, no brightness. Just black.

"H-Hello?" you called. You were able to roam freely, but with no firm view, you were completely blind in an unknown environment.

"Where am I?" you whispered, using your hands as a guide throughout the dark space.

The room was airy and cold. It felt like a never ending tunnel in which there was no escape at all.

"Stop moving," a sudden voice demanded.

You jumped and accidentally let out a squeal. You quickly covered your mouth and regretted it.

Someone chuckled. "Don't worry child. It's just me, from that last visit, remember?"

You froze. The memories zoomed in. Now you felt frightened. "What do you want?" you said with the boldest tone you could manage.

Footsteps began to echo in the room. They were close. Too close.
