The Otter Sin of Curiosity

Chapter 2

"Are you okay there Elizabeth?" I saw her wiping some tears, she nodded, "Sir Meliodas, I hope you'll feel better soon," She puts on a fresh towelette on his forehead, "What do we do for now?" Hawk asks, "Well I think we should stay here till he wakes up, we'll go to Baste Prison later," Elizabeths sits down, "I'm going in that direction right now, there's someone I need to bust out of prison." I stand up, "Same here, I'm sure the instant the Captain wakes up he'll want to go there right away and not waste any more time, but I can't do that till I know al his wounds are healed," Diane starts walking, I jumped out the window and landed on her shoulder, "Diane! Yuki! Wait I'll go with you!" Elizabeth runs out, "I don't want you getting on your foot, I mean just look at that tiny body and those skinny arms, what could you do to possibly help me? The only thing you're good at princess is changing the washcloth on the Captain and being his little nursemaid," Diane doesn't even turn around, "Is that any way to talk to her?! Just cause she can't throw people or shake the ground when she walks doesn't mean she's no good, come on!" Hawk grunts, Diane glares at the pig and he squeals, "I want to be able to help, anything to be of any help to Sir Meliodas, he's hurt and I know it's because of my fault, I just cause him trouble but for my sake he tries-" Diane stomps her foot on the ground, "No don't kid yourself, it's not like the Captain does everything for you, he's like that, always was. It's who he is, trust us, we would know." Diane's bangs cover her eyes, "Wait what do you mean?" Elizabeth asks, "It was back when I left my hometown and started travelling on my own, I got into some stupid argument with some knights along the way, I can still remember it so clearly. It was something I've never experienced before, I felt exactly the same size as the boy standing next to me, I know it wasn't true but for a moment I let myself believe that. I'll never be as small as you princess, or as dainty as Yuki, I can't fit in that building so I can't even tend to the Captain's injuries, but there is one thing I can do, I can fight for the Captain, with everything I have, that's about it." She stands up tall, "As for me, I wish I had the power to fight the holy knights, a power to call my own so I can save my loved ones," Elizabeth looks down, "I wish I could be as small as you," Diane twirls her hair, "I wish that day... that forest didn't burn down, I wish I could've used my powers, like Ban... I was weak," I clentched my fists, "Lady Diane, Lady Yuki..." Elizabeth looks at us, "Wait, what's that? It's coming from Baste Prison," I looked in the distance, then shut my eyes, "Sounds like... bugs, a whole ton of them," I jumped down from Diane's shoudler, the insects flew into the town, it began to rain down acid, "Get down Elizabeth!" I tucked her head under and I ran with her and Hawk to an undercover area, "Not good, they're gonna wipe out the entire town at this rate," Hawk says, "Sir Meliodas," Elizabeth looks at his room, then she ran out, "Elizabeth, wait!" Hawk and I yelled after her, "Stay here Porky," I ordered, "THE NAME'S HAWK!" He shouts, "Flash Tsunami!" I swiped two fingers towards Elizabeth, I condensed the water in the air and created an almost umbrella covering her, at that same moment, Diane rasied her arm up in the air, she created earth pillars that crushed all the bugs, "Now bring it on, we'll crush every last one of those things," The two of us said, "Yuki, hop on," Diane crouches down, "Look atfer the Captain!" She shouts at Elizabeth and took a giant leap out of the town and began running towards Baste Prison. 

"What's going on?" I held my head, "Yeah, I get 'cha, what's this feeling?" Diane shook her head, "GET OFF ME!" She swipes her hand at me, I heard the chime of a bell, "You monster, what'd you do to Diane?!" I shouted at the Holy Knight in front of me, "I am Ruin, of the Weird Fangs, destroyer of the eight deadly sins," he towered over me, "You're the freak who casted the spell on Diane to try and kill me," I grit my teeth, "Captain! Help me!" I saw Meliodas in the corner of my eye, I heard another chime of a bell and my eyes clouded over, "No way... there's... two of the same holy knight," I held my hand up in the air and called for my sacred treasure, a scythe.
