FOR THE LOVE OF A DEMON

chapter 19: the beginning

Gowther, Naruto ran right off the tower.

Ahmya rushed to the side to see him land on his feet resulting in a small shockwave.

"Hardcore..." she whispered watching him run totally oblivious to Diane shrinking and following after him.

Meliodas picked her up by her collar and flung her off the building. She started chasing after Gowther, he was her friend and teammate. She would help him like he has helped her in the past.

But oh how she hated the past.

So here she was flying above the streets, eyes glowing red as she scanned for the doll. She found him the same time Diane did. She watched as he got kicked in the side to stop him from whatever he was doing.

Nice.

Ahmya squinted her eyes, unsure if she should help. It looked kinda personnel. So she sat in the sky watching, ready to intervene if things went too far south. Diane had gotten stronger, her moves seemed familiar. Did she encounter Drole, perhaps? Gowther took off running only to run into King and his guardian. A proud smile adorned her face, he was stronger too.

She wanted nothing more than to listen in but she didn't, she didn't think she wanted to know.

She gasped in mock surprise when Merlin suddenly attacked.

Surprise attack...rude.

Taking her hand off her chest she slowing started to descend. Seeing him in such a state broke her heart.

Nadja. Bartra's sister. She's heard the stories, but not the story.

Gowther was smiling. His memories had returned.

So she smiled as well or she tried. Ahmya froze. It hurt to seem him smile because he had gotten his memory back. If she figured out what was wrong with her would she smile too or would she'd break all over again.

Obviously, since everyone was together again they'd drink. Hopefully, that would help with the ache.

Everything did seem merry as she walked behind the group. Her smile was small but genuine she was happy to see them together. So why did she feel like this-

"MYA!" Ban swung his arm around the smaller girl.

"Drink with me!"

"Why don't you go drink with your precious cap'n," she teased her face mimicking a sly cat.

"Do you wanna die?"

~~~~

"That's right, King and I went to Britannia 3000 years in the past,"

Ahmya halted outside the door of one of the bedrooms in Boar Hat.

"-and we ran into the captain and Ahmya back then, as well as an Elizabeth who looked just like you!"

"Diane!" Ahmya shouted entering the room.

"Oh, Ahmya? Is there something you needed?"

She was in trouble if she said anything in front of Elizabeth now...

She rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. "Sorry for barging in like that I was thinking then suddenly remembered something...where you perhaps with Drole and Gloxinia before you came here?"

"Hm! They're taking care of the Fairy King's Forest!" 

"Good all good," Ahmya swung her arms forward as she rocked on her toes awkwardly. SH then gestured to the door. "I'm gonna go try to destroy my liver."
