A Lovers War

A Promise

2 days remain

The goddess could feel the tears falling off her face. Even though she couldn't see anything, she somehow knew what was going around her.

It was the nightmare that repeated every night.

Even though Elizabeth could never see the nightmare, she always knew it was happening. She used to be able to remember the nightmare, but for some reason now she couldn't.

"Elizabeth wake up!"

Someone shouted at her and her body immediately sprang up.

Elizabeth was now sitting up in her bed. She was panting and sweet covered her whole body. Her body was shaking and she could feel Meliodas's warm hands on her arm. She turned her head to see him looking at her with a worried expression.

Without thinking, she fell forwards into his chest and began to sob.

"Elizabeth did you have that nightmare again?" He asked her calmly as he stroked her hair.

The weeping goddess shook her head and tightened her grasp on Meliodas's shirt."I don't know what to do to stop this nightmare from happening. I can never see what's happening but I can still feel the pain and sadness from it. I don't know what to do and every night the pain gets worse and worse. I'm so scared Meliodas."

The demon continued to stroke the goddess's silver hair and gently rocked her back and forth."It's alright.It's just a nightmare, it won't come true."

"But it will!" Elizabeth suddenly pushed herself away from the demon and stared at him with her crying eyes."I don't know why but something deep down inside me is telling me that this nightmare isn't something to ignore. What if the nightmare comes true?"

"It won't," Meliodas said comfortingly."I promise it won't come true."

Elizabeth fell back into the demon's embrace. Her body was still shaking but she didn't cry as much.

"How about we go somewhere to calm you down?" Meliodas suggested.

"What are you talking about? It's way to late to do anything." Elizabeth replied with her shaky voice.

"How about we sneak out?"

The goddess slowly moved out of the demon's embrace so she could look at his face. Of course he had his mischievous grin on his face.

"Meliodas we can't sneak out, we'll defiantly get caught. Ludoshel has guards around every corridor to make sure no one sneaks into my room. If we leave the guards will just bring us right back here again." Even though Elizabeth would of loved to sneak out with Meliodas, she knew it would never work.

But the demon wasn't going to give up that easily. He began to look around the room for a way to escape, and finally found it when his eyes landed on the window. The goddess followed his gaze and shook her head when she figured out what he was going to do.

"Oh no, we are not jumping out of the window." She protested.

But it was already to late. The demon grabbed the goddess and held her bridal style.

"Meliodas!" She shouted out in surprise.

He Immediately put his finger on his lips to keep her quiet." Shhhh. We don't want one of the guards to hear you."
