Human in the underworld

Take her back

-Elizabeth's POV-

It have been week since I come here. Meliodas isn't here, so he really does hate me.

It haven't been all bad. The food isn't the best, but everyone is kind to me. Veronica really like to be with me, but every time she asks a question about the demons, she says "Sorry! Those monsters surely treated you so bad you don't want to talk about it!" or things like that before I could get to answer.

Everyone here treats demon like they is some kind of monster. Honestly, demons is much kinder then humans. It's no wonder demons don't want humans in the demon realm.

Suddenly, a scream was heard.

"DEMON!" A guard yelled and then a guard walked into my room.

"Princess Elizabeth, the demon is heading this way, we need to go to the royal safety room!" The guard said and took my arm, escorted me somewhere in the castle.

-Meliodas POV-

The week was finally over and I knew exactly what I needed to do.

I prepared a carriage for two and for her things before heading to the nearest human village. I started asking around, but no one have seen her.

It was the same with the next village and the one after it. Everyone seemed scared of me, not really a surprise after the reputation demons have.

I even went to the giant tribe and fairy forest, but nothing. I have looked over half of Britannia, but found nothing.

After a hour going to the next town or village, I saw a traveller.

"Excuse me!" I said and they stopped and looked at me.

"Have you seen a girl in her teens? Silver hair, blue eyes. Name is Elizabeth." I asked. The traveller was scared, but nodded.

"T-That way. Y-y-you are talking about t-the new princess o-of Liones." The man said and pointed to where he come from.

"Thank you mister." I said and continued to the direction he pointed. After about 10 minutes, I arrived and got out of the carriage.

I knocked on the gate to the kingdom and after a minute, it opened. Knowing they won't let me in, I forced myself inside.

"Demon!" They yelled as people started screaming. Many knights tried to stop me. One after one hit the ground or lost the track of me.

I'm coming for you Elizabeth.

-Bartra's POV-

We all arrived at the safe room in the castle. It was a room with two big beds and some food and water. Elizabeth walked over to sit on the bed.

This must be traumatizing for her. Knowing that the race who treated her so bad is here.

"Father, I'm worried about Elizabeth." Veronica whispered as Margaret nodded. We all really care for her and she must be so scared right now.

"Let her be a bit, this must be traumatizing for her." I said.

"The demon is inside the castle!" A guard yelled from outside the room.

"I'm scared." Margaret said.

"Don't be my daughter. This will be fine. I'm sure it will leave when it find what it wants to find." I said. Then crying was heard. We all looked at Elizabeth who was curled up in a ball and cried.

"E-" I cut Veronica off "Let her be, she is just scared. We don't know how horrible the demons have treated her."

They nodded as Veronica said "Those bastards should pay for what they did to Ellie!"

"Calm down Veronica, father is right, we need to wait until this is all over." Margaret said and suddenly the crying slowly stopped.

We all looked at Elizabeth to see the demon with her and hugging her.

"G-" I cut Veronica off again "Shh!"

Elizabeth hugged back and had her face in his chest.

"M-Meliodas. I-I have m-missed you so much." Elizabeth said and cried in his chest. He ran his hand from her head to back with her hair and whispered "Everything will be fine. I promise."

"Get away from her demon!" Veronica yelled and the demon immediately pulled Elizabeth behind him. Like if he was protecting her.

"Don't worry Meliodas. They are kind." Elizabeth said and the demon immediately backed down. Meliodas... I have heard of it before, but where?

"I'm sorry I bust into the kingdom like I did." The demon apologized and hugged Elizabeth again.

"No harm made." I said. He then put a hand behind his head and rubbed his back.

"That is not necessarily true. I'm pretty sure I broke some bones on your knights." He said and Elizabeth hugged him, making him hug back.

"You-! Just, why did you come here?" I asked, nearly yelling at him.

"To get Elizabeth, what do you think?" He asked.

"And what is she to you? You demons have a awful way of treating living being, why would we let you take her?" I asked.

"Because I have the right to. She is mine." The demon said.

"She isn't some kind of toy! She is a living being!" I said.

"I'm very well aware of that. That's why she is mine." He said, making me angrier.

"You have not the right to say that she is yours! She have the right to decide by herself! Not you that force her!" I said, nearly yelling.

"She have decided by herself, right Elizabeth?" The demon asked and looked down at Elizabeth who nodded with a smile. The first time she smiled since she come here.

"No! Elizabeth will not return to the kind of yours!" I yelled. Elizabeth smile turned upside down as she yelled "I have tried to tell you since I come here, the demon realm isn't as bad as everyone is saying! That is all lies!"

We was all stunned and it was silent. Elizabeth was the one braking the silence.

"M-Meliodas?" She asked as I stood stunned as well as Margaret and Veronica.

"Hmm?" The demon asked.

"C-can we go back?" She asked and the demon nodded with a smile. Then he stood up and took her waist before they jumped out the window.

"Elizabeth!" I yelled as I ran to the window. They was falling in the air, about to hit the ground.
