Heart of a Demon - Zeldris X OC

Trust Issues

Arcadia sat on Dianes shoulder and began to use her eyes to scan around the town for any buildings or people that she thought would be able to help them in their current situation. Arcadia bit on her knuckles nervously as she couldnt help but worry for meliodas. Diane held meliodas small body in her large hands and walked around the town looking for someone who could help Meliodas, though no matter how desperate the giant girl sounded when asking for help, as soon as everyone saw the giant they just screamed and ran, scared of her and her size

"well this is going fantastic isn't it?" Arcadia mumbles under her breath sarcastically while letting out a worried sigh "Hey Diane, don't take this the wrong way but i think that maybe you should go up ahead and ill stay here with Meliodas and try to find a doctor"

Diane looks upset and angry with what Arcadia had said for a minute but then she nods her head softly toward Arcadia, after all she was her captain and the two of them were great friends, diane trusted arcadia with her life and she knew that she would never let her down and she wouldn't say something for no reason. Moreover, diane knew that arcadia was right so she let Arcadia down and then carefully handed the captain to her. Diane could see how much Arcadia cared for the captain and she couldn't help but long to have that strong of a connection with him too but she knew that, that would never happen, not even in her wildest dreams. they loved each other and they shared a bond that others could only dream of

Elizabeth and Hawk came running from around the corner, stopping when they had finally made their way to Meliodas, Arcadia and Diane. The princess and the pig both looked completely exhasted

"Alright Diane, we'll meet up again later, be careful alright" Arcadia quickly tells the giant and then Diane nods her head and jumps away from the village to go ahead and try and find a way to get Ban out or figure out a way for them to get in without causing to much commotion. After Diane left there was a unconscious meliodas in a worried arcadias hands and a worried hawk and Elizabeth standing next to them. Hawk and Elizabeth both waited to listen to Arcadias instructions on what to do next

"Come on, lets hurry up and go find a doctor" Arcadia quickly mumbles as she holds meliodas close to her chest. Arcadia lets out a shaky breath and looks down at his resting and unmoving face. Her body was filled with complete worry as she stared down at him, she felt her heart begin to shatter in her chest and the pain only pushed her to run faster as they ran up and down the streets looking for any sign of help

Finally they found a small building with the words 'doctor and medical services' on the front above the door and they quickly ran in and saw a man with glasses and white clothes, he was quite large and the room around them was quite messy. The building wasn't very welcoming though everyone was way to worried about Meliodas to even care

The doctor had a look of worry and shock on his face and the glasses on his face made it impossible for them to see his eyes which instantly made Arcadia feel odd about the situation, she was always able to tell what someone was like by looking into their eyes. The doctor made his way over to them and he quickly started to ask questions and what happened but Arcadia was quick to shut his rambling up

"I'm sorry but incase you couldn't tell but we are kinda in the middle of an emergency so if we could just save the questions for later that would be great" Arcadia says quickly and the doctor shuts his mouth and quickly nods his head before leading them into a room with a bed which Arcadia quickly places Meliodas on and tucks him in under the blanket

the doctor started to wrap Meliodas wounds in Bandages after cleaning them and applying ointment. Arcadias shaking hand grabbed onto the boys still and cold one while ELizabeth stared at him in worry from behind Arcadia

Arcadia felt her body begin to get consumed with pain as small vein like lines covered both her and meliodas hands though she did her best not to show that she was in any kind of pain

The doctor walked over to Meliodas and began to pour a liquid down his throat "this medicine is my own special concoction i guarantee that it will ease his suffering" the doctor says and Arcadia couldnt help but begin to feel suspicious about the doctor, she didn't know what it was but there was just something about him and the way that he was acting that made her feel off

"thank you for saving him, Dr Dana" ELizabeth says and takes a seat next to Arcadia, Arcadia turned her head and gave the princess a quick smile before turning straight back to face Meliodas, it were as if, if she looked away for more than a second he would disappear

"Based on his injuries, it is a miracle that he is still alive. In addition to the rather large and deep sword wound, his body is covered in large burns as if he had been struck by lightning. How can a child get these?" Dr Dana says and Arcadia then takes the opportunity to look up at the doctor with a judging look on her face

"Im sorry but there is something really off about you" Arcadia says bluntly which causes everyone to look at the girl in confusion, not having any idea where the girls sudden harsh words had come from, after all, the man had done nothing but help them

"What do you mean?" Dr Dana and Elizabeth both ask and stare at Arcadia, curious to see what she would reply

"Something just really doesn't feel right about this, let me warn you now, if anything bad happens to Meliodas because of you... I will make your life a living hell. And trust me, i know exactly what hell is like, so don't even think about testing me" Arcadia growls lowly"while i appreciate you 'helping us' i don't trust you for a single second" It were as if the girl were extremely cruel though whenever someone made eye contact with Arcadia they knew that behind the most beautiful eyes, lay secrets that are deeper and darker than the mysterious sea. She was odd, it were as if she were so many different people in one. She could make you feel one thing for one second and then a completely different thing the next. Though once you had met her, it was impossible for someone to forget her.

Dr Dana walks out of the room awkwardly after excusing himself and Elizabeth stands up and walks over to the side table and by now blood was starting to appear on Arcadias clothes in the shoulder area though her red clothes did a good job of hiding it, the room was silent though Arcadia couldn't tell if it was peaceful or Awkward

"Why don't you trust him?" ELizabeth asks Arcadia in confusion and Arcadia was surprised to hear the princess speak up

"Just an instinct and I'm usually never wrong about this stuff" Arcadia mumbles but doesn't look over at the princess, instead all of her attention was focused on Meliodas, over the last few minutes it felt like something else was wrong, like their was a new injury that she was healing and it made her feel sick to her stomach and it only added to the pain

"This is all my fault isn't it?" Elizabeth asks quietly and begins to get a new washcloth to place on Meliodas head

"what do you mean?" Arcadia asks in confusion as she lets out a soft groan of pain though she was happy that nobody had picked up on it, her hand gripped meliodas tighter and she couldn't help but grit her teeth

"I said that i wanted to stop the holy knights, that's what lead him to look for the eight deadly sins and caused this" Elizaeth whispers softly and Arcadia was able to feel the sadness radiating off of the girl

"Hey, easy there Elizabeth, none of this is your fault okay. Im truely grateful that you came to us and i know that meliodas is too. Neither of us blame you for this and you definitely shouldn't either" Arcadia tells the princess

"Im sorry, I'm always ranting to you arent i?" Elizaeth asks and places the wash cloth on Meliodas face with a small and fake smile

"don't worry about it Lizzy, its nice to talk to a girl about our problems every now and then" Arcadia smiles softly though she couldn't help but think about all of Elizabeths past lives and how she had always come to Arcadia to talk about her problems and one thing that Arcadia was truly grateful for is that they still had a strong connection like they always had, even after all this time.
