An Unknown Bond [Zeldris x OC]

Ch. 3 - The Seven Deadly Sins

A/N: This is really important for the upcoming chapters: What's happening from now on is a mixture between Season 1 to 4 with my own ideas. So if there are parts being really close to the series, it's on purpose but if they're quite different it's because I'm still writing in my own style. Please don't get confused when informations from further seasons are appearing in early chapters.

Ch. 3 - The Seven Deadly Sins
"So you've felt it too" Meliodas says whilst the two of us sit on the roof of the boar hat shortly after my arrival and look into the distance. 

I nod a little. "I felt the power last night. Woke me up from my sleep."

"Last night, huh" he mutters. "Yeah, that's when I felt it, too." Meliodas takes a short break and probably gets lost in his own thoughts. "So it must be true, I guess" he continues then, his voice full of worry.

"How's it possible that no one else noticed something? I mean... The power wave must've been immense when they broke the seal."

"The party was going on for a long time, they sure thought it belongs to the firework. If it even happened nearby. I can tell that something's different but I can't feel their presence."

"Me neither" I mumble and sigh while looking down the roof of the Boar Hat. "So the Holy War is not over yet" I continue to mumble and Meliodas' head shoots up when he hears those unfamiliar words. "Been a long time since I talked to someone else than Merlin about it" he mumbles.

I place my hand on his shoulder and his green eyes look up to meet my blue ones. "I'll always be there for you, Meliodas. No matter how far apart we are" I say and give him a reassuring and supportive smile.

His look softens and I see gratitude in his eyes whilst a small smile forms on his lips. "It's so good to see you."

"It's good to see you, too" I respond and then drop my hand from his shoulder, now resting my head there. "I'm sorry I wasn't with you earlier" I say more quietly and refer to the battle with Hendrickson.

"Don't be sorry for it. I'm actually glad you weren't."

"Wow, thanks" I joke in a sarcastic voice before I become more serious again. "I should have been with you, Meliodas."

"You should not have. You could've got really harmed" he says with a mixture of worry and sternness in his voice and I feel his body tense up just by the thought of it. "I could never forgive myself is something happens to you, too."

"But you did get harmed, Meliodas. Just like your friends. I should have... I mean I could have..." I mumble but can't finish my sentence. There's no excuse for what I've done or more exactly have not done. As my head still rests on his shoulder, Meliodas puts his right arm around me and pulls me closer to his body. I feel his warmth immadiately going over to me and I lean in closer. His near feels comforting and I close my eyes for just a second, enjoying the moment. "Do they know?" I ask and open my eyes again.

"Ban does know and I think King is suspecting it."

"But you haven't told him?"

"His sister Elaine got killed by a demon. And he tried killing Ban when he thought that he was helping it. I don't think he's ready to know that I am one, too."

"I can tell. But you're not ready to tell, either. What about Ban? Does he know everything?"

Meliodas doesn't answer me and I can already guess what he would tell me. It's probably too early for Ban to understand. After all, stories about demons and the Holy War are told humans for hundred and thousand of years to scare them off and keep their faith in the goddesses. It still seems as there's no place for demons in this world and after what Hendrickson has done, things just became worse again.
