"NOOO ELIZABETH!!" I shouted as I was pushed miles away from her. Damn she's so strong to remove my tight grip. I ran as fast as I can to reach her. I ignored the war, I ignored my comrades just to save my lover. I wasn't thinking, not when she's in the brink of death. I ran. I ran as fast as my legs could.

I reach a place with spikes all over. I saw a pool of blood, and looked above.

My mind went black.

As Meliodas looked above, seeing her lover's corpse made him drive mad. He promised the goddess that he wouldn't turn demon not if he's in par with the commandments. But no, he's gone insane. He slowly walked to her, removing her pierced body from the spikes, and carried her- bridal style. More like death style.

His eyes went black, his dark circles appeared more than ever. He was shaking, even though he can't feel anything, his eyes were filled with tears.

"Elizabeth." He whispered softly. Like he is trying to wake her up.

"Elizabeth." He said again. Her heart was crushed deeply when it was pierced by the spikes.

Meliodas, not putting down Elizabeth, went back to the battlefield only to see his comrades down, injured and some innocent knights dead. He carried still Elizabeth and fought Zeldris. Chandler and Estarossa was defeated by Escanor and Merlin, making them the only sins standing.

Meliodas grabbed his sword and one-handedly fought Zeldris.

"Ah, brother. So I see your goddess has yet again died."

There wasn't a response. He swiftly moved fast and finally hit Zeldris in his chest.

"That woman was always useless. She was always in the way of our family. She's the main reason why you left the comandments. You chose to be with that filthy woman than us."

He continued to fight. His eyes were returned to normal.

"A demon and a goddess can never love and you know that!"

He didn't put down Elizabeth. He was fighting while carrying her in his cold, dark arms.

"Now you're stuck with that stupid curse, because you can never atone the sin you've caused."

Zeldris casted a demon spell, making them both flew.

"You're a traitor to your own clan!"

"It's because I love Elizabeth. I will always choose her over anything else. Even if it means leaving my own clan." He snapped, and used full counter on his demon spell. He held his sword high and fought him single handedly. Zeldris, on the other side was impressed by his skill despite holding Elizabeth.

"Now brother. Choose. I'll be taking Elizabeth, and revive her with father's reviving spell or I'll be finishing off your precious comrades."

"...Revive her?"

"Yes. Nice deal, isn't it?"

"She'll be... alive?"

"Yes. If you accept to give me her."

They both stopped and Meliodas looked at Elizabeth. He looked at her as if she's his whole life. He had thoughts. He was thinking, and finally approached Zeldris slowly. Zeldris, on the other hand, smirked.

"Don't worry brother. I'll bring her back to you."

Meliodas slowly handed Elizabeth and he steadfast pierced his chest. One, two, three, four, five, six and seven. All seven hearts he pierced it. Zeldris was shocked, his jet black eyes widened. Blood came out of his mouth, his body sprouting with blood.

He whispered lowly, "From this day on, no one will ever touch her. Not even my own brother, you prick."

He then pulled out his sword that is clenched with blood and soon Zeldris fell to his death. Merlin, who witnessed the battle, the last warrior standing had felt a little fear when she saw his captain, much more differ than the old one. Merlin, the greatest and strongest mage feared his demon comrade.

Merlin's POV

Captain is different... Now that... Now that sis-sis is gone, he's gone mad.It drove him insane. I'm sorry sis-sis... if only I can save you but.... but I can't. I sobbed, I haven't been able to cry since sis-sis died battling the Supreme Deity for the past hundred years. That was the last day I have dropped tears. And now I have witnessed yet again the death of her, I still couldn't hold it back.

But the best part of me crying is that no one can see other than Meliodas and me. But now I think that It's only me.

My powers decreased as all the energy left my body while battling Chandler. Meliodas came closer while holding close to sis-sis, he looked down and approached me.

"Merlin... can you revive her?"

"I'm afraid cannot."

"Then lock me."

"To where?"

"Underground. Where I am away from the people, so I can no longer harm innocent citizens. Make her a coffin. Merlin, I'm trusting you with Elizabeth. Once you made her one, bring her to me in the underworld."

"Understood." I nod. That was an unpleasant order from him. But what can I do? I hoffed.

•

I made Elizabeth a nice white dress and covered her hair with flowers and the necklace Meliodas gave. As I was cleaning her body with all the scratches and wounds, I felt a heart beating.

"Sis-sis?" I said, and waited for a response.

This is strange. I honestly felt a beat. But I can't seem to point it out if it's hers or not. It was beating rapidly, and carries a great power. I touch her from head to toe, to feel where was the beat from. Or if it even exist, or I might be delusional.

There are only two theories.

1. Her heart was injected with demon blood.

2. She's pregnant.
