I Found My Light (Book 1)

Secrets That Lie in the Moonlight

After leaving the restaurant, Meliodas and I went to the park. It looked beautiful in the moonlight and under the stars.

"So Elizabeth I was wondering what was your plans after finishing high school?" He asked me.

"I dont know yet, I was actually thinking of starting my own business." I said.

"Really, that's what I was thinking of doing." He said, to be honest I was really surprised.

"Hey how about we start a business together." He said excitedly.

"Really, are you sure." I asked him and he simply nodded.

As we were walking down the path I noticed that Meliodas stop. I looked back to see why he stopped.

"Is something wrong?" I asked concerned.

"Hey Elizabeth could you bend down for a moment." I simply nodded and bent down to his height. That's when he stuck something on my head. I touched it to feel the soft petals of a rose, I couldn't help but blush a little.

After walking and talking together we came across a bench with a pond and many trees around it. We both sat down. That's when I remembered what he and Merlin said.

"Hey Meliodas I was wondering something if you dont mind me asking." I spoke. "Yeah what is it?"

"Back when we first meet you said that you were just like me, how are you like me?" I asked.

"You see, the sins and I also have abilities but, different types. We also did something in our past to grant us our titles, they weren't something we pick at random." He replied.

I tilted my head in confusion. He told me not to worry about it to much and will explain when we go back to school after spring break. I just nodded until he asked me a question.

"Hey Elizabeth, why do you cover your right eye?" He asked as he look at me.

"Oh, it's nothing" I simply replied not wanting to show him.

"You're alot like your sister when it comes to lying, you know."

I sighed and decided to tell him. He would find out about it sooner or later.

"The reason I hide my right eye is because its different." I said.

"How." He replied.

I simply looked away as a way of saying that I dont want to talk about it anymore. That's when he did something that caught me off guard. He kissed me again. It was full of love and passion. We eventually broke the kiss due to us needing to breath.

"I wont force you to tell me anything you dont want to talk about."

Something about that made me want to tell him like, I could trust him with my secret.

"The reason its different is that, here let me show you." I moved my bangs out of my right eye. My right eye was orange with a symbol on it.

I could only feel him staring at me.
"Its okay if you dont want to be with me any more." He simply hugged me and said...

"I love all of you with all my heart"

"I love you too, Meliodas." I could feel my warm tears running down my cheeks.

"Come on I'll walk you home, I dont want anything to happen to my Phoenix." He said, I couldn't help but blush.

After he walked me home I noticed that Ellatte fell asleep on th couch. I picked her up and placed her gently on her bed. I covered her up with her bed sheets. I closed her door and made my way to my room.
