Chapter 50

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 267k VIEWS AND 8K VOTES! i love you all so much <3 i'm truly so grateful.

also pls remember to keep signing petitions and donating to respectable causes for the black lives matter movement. just because it seems like things are slowly dying down doesn't mean that the constant fight for #blm isn't over. it's never over until the rightful justice and peace is served. breonna taylor's murderers still aren't behind bars.

there are many other crisis that aren't receiving the attention that they deserve. there's a 100 year war happening in yemen right now, and there have been multiple black individuals lynched but their deaths were written as suicides. these situations and numerous more are being swept under the carpet.

please keep yourselves educated and aware of the conflicts happening around the world and what YOU can do to bring justice and to help stop them.

"Tonight?" Diane questioned.

Everyone was surprised by Meliodas' sudden announcement. Gaining back the kingdom from the corrupted holy knights was always the main goal, but compressing a 2 weeks worth of battle into one night was beyond overwhelming.

It was clearly an immense stretch of a broad situation. Everyone else pondered on their own conflicting thoughts.

Meliodas shared hard eye contact between every sin present. Despite the great change in plans, they nodded and still displayed great determination for tonight. Deep down, hints of hesitation and doubt was laced into the pits of their stomachs.

"Hawk, tell your mom to start heading to the castle. Everyone else, I'm sure you know what to do in order to prepare. I'll go over battle strategies soon."

One by one, the sins began to depart to enhance their own abilities and sharpen their skills. You and Meliodas stayed behind in the destroyed room.

You anxiously fiddled with your fingers as you watched him casually look out the shattered window.

"Are you sure about this?" you asked worryingly.

Meliodas kept his gaze from you. "What do you mean?"

You walked up to his side and tried to read what he was thinking. To your surprise, the once open book you surely knew was now impossible to read. You sighed.

"I know you're upset that all this chaos happened, but going in for the major fight tonight is absolutely insane..."

You shared evident concern in your tone as Meliodas continued to stare at the passing tree tops and setting sun.

"I know you know it's not safe. As powerful as you all are, it's too risky. It's obviously a trap too!"

You thought about all the horrible visions and nightmares you had and the multiple warnings embedded in each occurrence.

"...even if you're deciding to fight now because of me, I can't let that happen."

You looked down at the floor. "If something were to happen to any of you...especially you..."

Your voice drifted off into a whisper. This is exactly what Gilthunder wanted. He knew that you were going to be the trigger into luring the Seven Deadly Sins to him. All he had to do was tease some bolts.

Tears fought to escape from your eyes again. "It'll be all my fault all over again."

"(Y/N), look at me."
