This is kinda a Christmas gift because it is Christmas here at me right now. So Marry Christmas!

-Elizabeth's POV-

"Be a good girl now, my beloved angel." Mommy said and gave me to a girl.

"We will take good care of her, we promise." She said. Mommy nodded and the girl together with a boy flew away with me.

.....

I am one year old. That girl is my new mommy and the boy my new daddy. That what they told me anyway.

.....

I'm two years old now. I have learned to walk and a bit how to talk. Mommy and daddy is really nice. Even if they aren't my real mommy and daddy.

.....

This year, I am 3 years old. I am able to talk now.

.....

4 years old and mommy and daddy is telling me things. They say that I need to say I am a demon if anyone ask and that I can't control my powers if someone ask. They also say that if anyone ask my age, that I need to say 400 years old.

.....

I'm 5 now. Mommy and daddy repeat the rules I need to follow the whole time. I answers correctly every time.

.....

Now I'm 6 years. Daddy teach me the laws in the demon realm and mommy. Even if that's boring, I love my life. They are always so kind to me and play with me. I don't have any friends because everyone thinks I am a strange demon. They at least think I am one. If not, they would report me and I would be banished from the realm.

.....

7 years. Mommy have told me why I am living with them and not in the human realm. She says it is war between the humans, giants and fairies. They said mommy won't be able to take care of me and that it is safer for me here.

.....

This year, I am 8. 800 in demon years. I still don't have any friends, but mom and dad is always playing with me instead. I have also started thinking about how the human realm is.

.....

9 years and am still happy, but I would like to go to the human realm. Dad have told me many things about the human realm. It is so different then the demon realm. They have something called sun, making it much lighter on the day. Isn't it strange? We have the moon as a sun, just making the day a bit lighter.

.....

I'm 10 years now and have thought to run away to the human realm. It seems so cool. It have something called animals and flowers. It is so cool! In the end, I was busted and looked after the rest of the year.

.....

Now I'm 11 and don't want to go to the human realm anymore. Dad told me about all the bad things there. Dragons, evil humans, goddesses and much more. It's a bit scary. However, something in me still want to go there. Maybe because I was born there? Or that I am a human?

.....

12 years and DON'T want to date. Mom is asking me if I want to date the whole time. She said that she met dad when she was 12 in human years and fell in love immediately. Honestly, I think that is disgusting.

.....

13 years, 1300 years in demon years. I am so tired of lying all the time. I lie about my powers that I don't even have, age and everything about myself. The only place I could be myself is home.

.....

14 years now. Mom is even trying to hook me up with someone. Boy what I got mad when told me I had a date. After about 100 dates, she gave up. Mostly because I yelled at her to stop.

.....

I'm 15 and mom is trying to convince me to get a boyfriend. I have no idea why she is even trying. Everyone thinks I am strange because I 'don't want to' have my demon mark out.

.....

I'm 16 and this year is special. This year is when the demon prince will be introduced to the people. The demon princes is never allowed to go outside the castles walls if not having a fake name.

In just some years, a new king will be crowned. Tomorrow is the festival, introducing that prince.

"Have you decided your dress yet?" Mom asked, making me answer "I don't have any fancy dresses."

"You know what that means?" Mom asked and ran in the room.

"Please, not shopping." I mumbled. Of course, she answered with "Shopping!" And the rest of the day was her dragging me to every store in the realm to decide one small dress.
.....

I woke up and got ready with help of mom. I was a bit nervous, I never been on a festival before. When I was done, I walked downstairs to see dad cooking breakfast. He is the best chief ever!

When we was done, we walked to the festival. While mom and dad talked to other demons, I walked around. This was so new for me.

This usually boring place have become a place of happiness and laughter.

After walking around a while, not looking where I was going, I bumped into someone. I fell to the ground and looked to see the one I bumped into.

"Sorry." I said. He was short with blonde hair. Of course, he had a demon mark too. He had the biggest mark I ever seen, meaning, he was a powerful demon.

He stretched out his hand for me to take and said "It was my fault too. Here, let me help you up."

I took his hand and was helped up. Then I said "Thanks." as he answered with "No problem. So what are a beautiful lady like you doing alone? Shouldn't you be with your friends?"

"I come here with my family and they just talked adults stuff, so I decided to look around, my name is Elizabeth by the way." I said.

With a smile, he answered with "Meliodas, it's nice to meet you Elizabeth." and a conversation started. Of course, he asked me about my demon mark and I said like to everyone else, I don't like my demon mark.

After a while of talking, the demon king walked up on the scene.

"Could I get everybody's attention?" He asked. Everyone become quiet and looked at him.

"As you all probably know, this festival is for the next demon king. My oldest son and the strongest warrior of the demon race. Come up here and introduce yourself." He said.

"Guess that's my cue to go. See you later tonight?" Meliodas asked.

"Sure?" I answered, not really sure what he meant. Then he walked up on the scene and introduced himself. Wait! I just talked to him! I just talked to the next demon king! Oh my god!
