Meliodas POV
I noticed that we were no longer in the parking lot but, at Merlins apartment. I turned my head to see that Elizabeth blacked out again, and Ellatt had Elizabeth's head on her lap.
I turned my head around to find Merlin drinking tea with one hand and the other holding a news paper. She put both the tea cup and newspaper on the coffee table while Ellatt and I were putting Elizabeth on the couch.
"Hey, Merlin do you know what's going on with Elizabeth." I asked her.
She simply put her hands on her hip and nodded her head no. "But I do have a theory on what it is." She told me.
"What is it." I said to her. "Well we all know that Elizabeth has many abilities, from growing life from nothing to simply anything really, but if I remember correctly one of those abilities is reading the feelings off others." She said.
"Just get to the point." I told her as I was starting to get run out of patients, I promised her that I would always be there and protect her.
"Well here." Merlin handed me the newspaper she was holding a while ago. I took it without hesitation, and skimmed through it. While skimming through the newspaper my eyes landed on a certain article.
Three high school girls found and beaten into critical condition. September 15,XXXX. Wait a minute that's the same day Elizabeth blacked out at the cafe.
"Merlin I think you owe me an explanation." She nodded in agreement, but left the room to grab something. When she returnd she was holding a bucket and wet cloth.
She set the wet cloth on top of Elizabeth's head to help her rest better, while Ellatt and I took a seat at the table where Merlin was already sitting.
"Well when we were back at the cafe and Elizabeth suddenly blacked out for no reason, I found it strange. So I decided to investigate. With the help of Gowther and Escanor, I started putting the pieces together until I hit a dead end." Merlin took another sip of her tea and continued.
"Thats when you called, and told me what happened when you two and Elizabeth left the hospital. When I teleported you guys here, I did a quick magic scan to see if something happened to the flow of magic in her body." Merlin explained as she crossed her arms.
"What I found was truly remarkable. Her magic was reaching to those around the area. Having to reach a person with magic consumes a lot of power, especially at that distance."she said.
"How do we stop it?!" I heard Ellatt say. "Well either the police have to stop the attacks or we have too, it's really simple." She said while smirking.
I closed my eyes to see what we should do. Knowing the police it will take awhile before the catch the person responsible, and if we take matters into our own hands there's no telling what will happen.
"Merlin I think the best thing we should do is take matters into our hands." I said to her but more like an order.
"Oh course captain and I already have an idea on were they might strike next." She handed me a notepad with an address written on it. My eyes widened in horror the next place they were going to attack is where Elizabeth and Ellatt live.
I was horrified, who and why would they do this. It makes no sense at all, but Merlin seemed to follow the attackers pattern.
"Ellatt if you two get attacked ring this bell and say these words, Þú, sér, lind, ásynja, burt, eimi, og. A shield will appear and tell us that they are there. As long as you say those words you'll be safe," Ellatt nodded, her determination to keep her sister safe. When I looked at Ellatt I senced that she also has magic like Elizabeth but her magic wasn't tied to her emotions like Elizabeth's, it was tide to her will.
I was about to ask Ellatt something until we heard Elizabeth waking up.
"Ellie, your awake. How do you feel, are tired or in pain." I asked her.
"No I'm fine, what happened while I blacked out?" Elizabeth asked. I told her that we went to Merlins apartment to see if she could help and she did.
"Hey Merlin, do you think we could crash at your place, just to be safe?"
I asked her. She nodded and said we should invite the others just in case. I did the same thing when Elizabeth blacked out again, except this time to call everyone else.I told them about the sleepover at Merlins apartment and they all agreed. About a few mins later they all arrived.
"Alright what game should we play?"Ellatt asked and we all knew what game diane had in mind.
"LETS PLAY TRUTH OR DARE."diane shouted. We all got into a circle and began the game.
(Hey Aqua here hope you found all the anime reference I put in this chapter. Anyway chap 9 is coming out tomorrow or the day after that but remember no promises, bye.)
