~Elizabeth's Pov~ 

I didn't answer King's question. I was scared that I would get him hurt. "No need to be shy Miss, none of us are going to hurt you" King spoke as he kept a kind smile on his face. I turned my head back to look at the chains. His words made me want to answer. The truth was, I didn't want to hurt him or anyone else. That was when we heard creaking. That was normal. "This place isn't holding very well" I soon heard King's worried voice echo around the room. Why was he so worried? As a Fairy, he was able to get out of here fast.

Was he still worried about me? "Merlin and Gowther say this tower only has days left before it falls...Miss, is it your wish to die?" King soon asked as it nearly put a smile on my face. I only sat up looking up at the ceiling of the tower. The chains making their normal loud noises as I did so. "My...wish?" I whispered in a question as yes I wanted to die yet I had other things I wanted. Dying wasn't the only thing that I had in mind. There much of anything else but there were small things. "Mhmm, what's your wish Miss?" King soon asked.

I heard footsteps of two people as King asked his question as my eyes were still on the ceiling. "I don't have a wish.....I don't have the right to wish for anything" I whispered as there were footsteps moving toward me. I turned my head to see another person with the appearance of a young boy like King. This person being a tiny bit shorter than what I was. He had messy blond hair and a pair of emerald eyes. He was wearing an ordinary, clean white button-front shirt and a black sleeveless vest on top with a loosely worn tie.

His sword on his back in a scabbard was held on by a green leather belt with gold-coloured buckles. With his white bottoms that only when to under his knees, he also had a pair of black boots. "Yo! I'm Meliodas" he spoke as I was quiet. I noticed Ban was standing next to King asking him how he got me to talk. King only replied by saying he just kept asking different questions and I just answered them. The tower started to creak again. "Captain seems the storm is hitting here sooner than we thought" Ban spoke closing his eyes.

Storm? There hasn't been a storm for a long time. Meliodas seemed to be their 'captain' that they spoke of earlier. "May I know your name at the least?" Meliodas asked smiling not listening or replying to his friends who both sighed. Unlike everyone who had come and go this guy. I felt as if I wanted to talk and answer his question. I only looked away fast the chains making noise as I did so. "You two go get the Boar Hat ready for the storm, I got this" Meliodas soon spoke as the two other males answered with an 'alright' before leaving.

"You have the same look most of us have, being locked away for long years, giving up on life, giving up on people and the look of people treating you in horrid ways but yet you think you should be treated that way" Meliodas soon spoke as sadly his words were all true on how I felt but to hear all of them were treated this way also made me start thinking and questioning. My life was to live in isolation. It was all I knew mostly. To be in here, to stay here and to never leave. To never be in contact with others again.

"No one has ever wondered how you felt all this time, have they? Haven't you really done anything wrong? You are just different so they locked you up" Meliodas spoke as my right hand gripped the bed sheet I was sitting on. He nearly got it right. It felt different having someone get this close to the truth and care after just meeting me. "Everyone around me gets hurts and suffers" I whispered I turning my head slightly to see Meliodas in shock by my quiet words. He soon sat next to me on the bed, a kind smile on his face.

"I don't believe that for a second, was that the reason they made up to lock you away?" Meliodas soon asked as I went quiet once more, his eyes moved to the chain around my right wrist. "It ain't tightly on meaning someone else like me doesn't believe that. Ban, King, Gowther, Merlin and myself were all once locked away. We all were called monsters because we were different, we couldn't control what we really were so some people around us got hurt by mistake. With that, we were locked up, beaten and called monsters" Meliodas spoke.

I looked fully at him this time. He had sadness in his eyes but kept his kind smile as he was looking at me. "People do that when they don't know something. They get scared, attack it and try and hide it away" Meliodas spoke as it was how I thought when the young knight hit me beforehand. Meliodas moved his hand onto my right cheek as at first, I flinched before he was able to touch it. His hand was soft as his smile grew. "I ain't some bastard who would harm a beautiful girl like yourself" he soon informed me.

"But someone hit you today didn't they? There is a red mark showing it" Meliodas soon spoke as I only nodded slightly. He moved his hand away as he closed his eyes. "Let me make you an offer" He spoke standing up all of a sudden in a jump. I was only looking at him, confused but yet my face was struggling to show emotion. It was trying to do so for once. This was the first time in so many years my face truly wanted to show emotion. "Come with me, let us show you the world and we will help you, teach you what you are and how not to harm others" he then spoke offered his hand toward me.

I looked at him in shock the emotion finally changing my face to match it. My eyes had even widened ever so slightly. He was smiling at me as something inside me was telling me that he was someone I could possibly trust. That he was someone that could really help me. I moved my hand to take his slowly. "Nothing but a monster, you make everyone suffering. You killed your own mother!" I heard my father's voice echo in my hand stopping me from taking Meliodas's hand fully as I looked at the ground fast.

My hand about to move back toward me until I felt it be grabbed. It made me look up to see Meliodas holding my hand with both of his hands. "Fear is something that blocks everyone's path. So I will be there to help show you past that fear. What everyone has said in the past ain't you. They don't know you. You are just a normal girl" he spoke as for some reason my eyes started to water.
