=Elizabeth's P.O.V.=

"Stay by my side at all times. That's an order, not a request."

I'm not really sure what to think. Of course he'd told me to stay close before, but he's never ordered me to. I kind of like it, but I'd only get in his way. No! Remember, you can help too. Don't think like that.

The faces of all of the sins plus a few others showed confusion and anger. King was no longer sitting on his pillow and was now standing on his feet, with Diane clinging on to him. Elaine sat on Ban's lap looking concerned, while Ban looked annoyed. Merlin floated in-between Escanor and King Arthur. With Merlin still being in her orb state, no one could tell what she was thinking. Escanor was plain out frighten at the thought of what was to come. It was far past mid-day, nearing closer to midnight. Arthur was clearly confused and surprised. He was the only one with no clue as to what Meliodas meant. Of course he knew about the Ten Comandments, but the fact that Meliodas was a demon shocked him. Gowther had wandered off yet again, which should have concerned them, but no one seemed to put any mind to it. Time had flown by. No one had spoken.

"Lord Meliodas, what are we to do about it?" The silver haired girl spoke. It was obvious she had grown uncomfortable from the silence.

"I'm not quite sure. We need to stay in groups if we do go anywhere, that's for sure," the man spoke carefully. He knew if he were to say one thing wrong, the group would burst with anger. He had already dealt with Ban and King, and he didn't feel like doing it a second time. Yet again had the tavern grown silent. No one knew what to say, though so many thoughts were racing through each one of their heads.

Suddenly, a thought had come to one of the sins. He had become annoyed of the silence. If he was to be completely honest with himself, he was still very drunk from all of the Bernia ale he had had.

"Sooo~ Cap'n. I see Elizabeth did woo you over, huh. Wanting her to stay by your side. HA. Even if she didn't it's obvious that yo-" the undead man was cut off as abruptly as he had started. He had received a pillow to the face from the fairy king. To him, it always seemed like he had to clean up the taller man's messes.

"Can't ever keep your mouth shut can you. Ugh, may I suggest something?" Receiving nods from everyone who was able to, and a quick yes from Merlin, he continued. "I think we should sleep in shifts. Two people awake at a time. So if something does happen the first can fend them off, and the second can run to wake the others up."

After a minute of no one saying anything, yet again, the wizardess spoke.

"That's a wonderful idea. I'm sure it's obvious who's paired with you, but just to make sure we're on the same page I'll sign off names. Since there's an odd number, Escanor, Arthur, and I will be a group. Elaine and Ban shall be one, Diane and King, and lastly Elizabeth and Meliodas."

"Aw, I wanted to be paired with Elizabeth," the giantess spoke.

"I'm kinda hurt Diane, you don't wanna be with me?" King had spoken quietly.

"Kinda? Do you mean a lot? Haha, ahhh I'm funny," Ban remarked, his laugh slowly dying out into a wheeze.

"No, no its not like that, just that Elizabeth is my best friend, I'm happy to be your partner but I like being with Elizabeth too," Diane slowly had realized her ranting and decided not to speak anymore.

"Did you already forget about what I said. Elizabeth is by my side. AT. ALL. TIMES." The man's voice had grown low and dark. In that moment everyone remembered the reason his sin was wrath. With only a few words, he sent fear into them. With the group realizing there was no point in arguing anymore, King walked to the door.

"I guess Diane and I will take first shift," with that he walked out with Diane following behind.

"What's with the dreary mood? What did I miss?" All eyes turned to the pig as he walked in from outside. "What? I had to go to the bathroom." Not wanting to know more, Meliodas walked up to his room. Ban took Elaine to the room he shared with her brother. Merlin flew up to the attic, quickly followed by Escanor. Arthur stayed behind to talk to Hawk. The only one still in place was Elizabeth. The only place she could really go was to Meliodas' room, or in better words, their room.

Quick question, should I keep this pg-13 or let it go a little more risqué and gory. Tell me what you think. I'm good either way really. Just there's opportunities quickly coming for me to put some stuff in so.
