#7 Spirits Shattered (Preview)

Set in present day world. Meliodas has always been the cheery one of the group. Full of life, happiness, and always the one to hold the group together and be there for any one of his friends in a heartbeat if they need him. The question is.... who's been there for him?

Elizabeth POV:

I walked along the cemented path with a spring in my step on the way to school. My family had moved away for a few years due to my father's work wanting him stationed someone else, and it had left me absolutely heartbroken.

Regardless of my shy nature and tendency to be a stuttering mess, I had friends at my school. Ones I wouldn't give up for the world.

They had been with me since kindergarten, and had stayed by my side until my early teenage years when we had to move.

They had seen me at my worst, and had made some of my moments where I was at my best. Who are these people I keep going on about? Well, they are a group that had become more of a family than my own.. a group called The Seven Deadly Sins.

Now that my father has been promoted to a desk job rather than the busy work of an active police officer, we decided to move back. No longer having to worry about the constantly traveling.

I am on my way to my "first day" of school now, and regardless of most people's reactions to such an occasion. I was completely thrilled to see everyone. However, this was quickly starting to fade as I approached the building.

I wanted to see everyone so badly I could practically taste it. After all, these people were my family, but... did they feel the same way?

Regardless of our promise to meet again if we were ever separated, whether by life, college, or just the ticking of time, a few years had passed since then, and I could still remember th heartbroken expressions on each of their faces when I said I had to leave.

Diane, my sweet, loving, bubbly, chatty, big sister, had cried so much when I had told her I was going away..

Ban, the seemingly cold, selfish, sarcastic, actually sweet, kind, funny, and smart big brother, had seemed livid and so sad when I had said I wouldn't be pulling pranks with him anymore..

King, the aloof, lazy, intelligent, funny, kind, best friend who had always let me talk to him when I was upset, had been trying so hard not to cry...

All of the others showed similar reactions to my departure.

Merlin, Escanor, Gowther, and..... Meliodas...

Meliodas had been the glue that held everyone together over the years. If you were sad, he would give you a shoulder to cry on and words of wisdom beyond his years. If you were angry, he would take your harsh words and angry cries, and give you kind words of comfort and apologies in reply, as well as beat up anyone else who had made you feel that way. If you were happy, he would make sure that absolutely nothing ruined your day and celebrate along with you, even if he didn't know why you were celebrating.

He did this for every one of his friends, as many times as needed, and as many hours it took to help them get through whatever it was bothering them. All with a smile on his face, and a warm look in his eyes.

Even when I had told him I was leaving.. he still tried to be strong to make me feel better. But that didn't mean I didn't see the pain behind his emerald eyes...

The bell rang its loud song and forced me from my thoughts and sent me back to the present.

Oh no! I'm gonna be late!

Forgetting my previous anxiety, I hurried up the remaining stairs to the large building in front of me and ran through the luckily open doors.

This is it.. I have to be strong, no matter what their reaction is... I have to be strong so I can make it through this. Besides.. they're my best friends.. even if they're upset, I know we'll make it through this together.

How wrong she was... at least, in certain ways..

This chapter sucks, but I'm not good at writing in first person and this beginning was hard to write. Anyway, hope this preview was okay and it will probably be the last one for tonight. Let me know if you want this as a real chapter. See you all tomorrow.
