Ban's POV
"Y/n, don't go, please. Stay here and talk. I may be able to help you in this situation" I said but I have to be fast. Meliodas and the others are on the way. "What can you possibly do? Make it worse" she said but walked back to me. I opened my arms and pulled her into a hug when she was close enough. "Meliodas and the others are on the way, so ether I join you and we talk on the way or we could talk fast here and I lie to them about where you went" I said knowing which one it would be.
"But how can you help in this situation? Meliodas would kill me next time he sees me" she say and I felt a my jacket beginning to become wet. She was crying. "Go to the fairy kings forest. I will meet you there in a few weeks" I said and pointed towards the south. "Go" I said and gave her a light push.
(Y/n) POV
"Bye ban" I mumble towards Ban before I ran away as fast as I could. What would everyone do if they catches me, would they kill me? Put me in prison?
My head was just filled with thoughts and say sight started to get blurred. I was crying but why, none of the thoughts was something that made me cry so what was it. Even though I was crying I still ran as fast as I could. But the weird thing was that my back was wet, it couldn't be sweat because it was running down fast but slowly. So I stoped for a second to wipe it of my back and one thing I was right about was that it wasn't sweat. Is was not water, but it was blood.
Now I felt it, someone or something had made a giant cut on top of my back. It hurts but also not. "There she is" I heard some one say, I turned around to see "Meliodas, get away from me" I said before I tried to keep running. "Y/n stop, I won't hurt you. I just want to..." He said before he stoped complete. "ZELDRIS come out" he said right after and walked closer to me.
Was Zeldris here now? Was it him that had cut me? When Meliodas was really close he started to sniff on my clothes. "Why was you with Zeldris" he said pointing his sword towards my neck. "He took me" I said but he only walked closer and lowered his sword towards my stomach now. "Did he do something else to you, did he hurt you" he said.
I tried to look down at the sword, it was blood on it, it wasn't old, it seems like it had just been there for a few seconds or a minute. "No, he didn't just me like you did. He helped me. He was NICER then you. I thought I could trust you and that you would never breake the promis. 10 years later and you have broken it" I said and I could see the tears in his eyes.

Meliodas Pov
The kingdom was under attack. I need to save the children and that. "Meliodas over here" someone said and I ran over. What I saw was sad. It was a young girl with a lot of bruises some seemed old and some was new. She was in a house that I had checked previous and when I checked it was a whole house. Now it was ruing and had a young girl in it. "Mommy.... Daddy" was the only thing she said. I walked closer and she looked up at me.
"No, get away. I don't want to be hurt once again. Not by mommy or by daddy" she said. "I won't hurt you. I just want to see how you are and see if you have any injuries" I said and took a step forwards. "How can I believe you. You have a sword" she said and pointed to my back. I knew that if I was going to get any closer I had to let my sword down. "See" I said and took every sword or dagger that I had in me. I put everything on the ground except one dagger. "Wh-what about the thing on you hand" she said.
I took the blade in my hand so the handle was towards her. "You can have it. If you feel scared or anything, you can use it" I said and walked close enough to she could take the handle. She took it, but threw it away. "Can I sit down" I said and she slowly nodded. "What is your name? Mine is Meliodas" I said with a smile. "Y/n" she said and looked over to her dead parents. "Would you like to get some food and tell me about what happened" I asked and she looked over too me.
"Do you have food" she said with a smile on her face. "I don't have any on me now but I can get some at the castle" I said and her eyes opened wide. "Are you a prince" she said. "Yes and no. I am a knight and a close friend with the king" I said and her eyes widened even more. "But there is one problem. I can't walk" she said and pointed to her legs. She was hurt bad. "I can carry you, but I have to get my sword on my back first" I said and she nodded at me but was scared.
"Or you can have my sword in your arms. If you feel safer" I said and she gave me a smile.
After we came to the castle I got her to a nurse and got her some food. I thanked the nurse right before she walked out of the room. "Can I ask you what happened to you?" I said and got a chair so I could sit next to her. "My parents hated me and hit me. They scared me every second. That is why I don't like people and weapons" she said. "If you want we can be friends" I said and gave her a big smile. "WE COULD" she screamed in my face. "Yes, and i want you to know that I would NEVER hurt you" I said and hugged her.

(Y/n) POV
"I am sorry y/n. I forgot. I should never have gut your back to slow you down. Specially after everything you have been through. If I only have one question, why did you say that about Elizabeth" Meliodas asked. "Because sometimes you have to tell the truth to save yourself and the people you love" I said. "What do you mean" he asked me and sat down.
"Before I got taken saved by Zeldris. I was technically hunted by Gil, he tried to kill me. And you know my fears, you know my weaknesses. If I didn't say anything you would blame yourself when you found me dead in the forest. Or maybe that is what you wish" I said and walked away from him.
How could he have changes so much in one day. He want from cute and nice to being the devil. "Y/n wait" I heard Meliodas say before he lifted me over his shoulder. "I will take you back to the tavern, Ban will make you some food. Then we can talk. I want to try to save you" he said. "How did you know" I asked trying to fight back but it was to nothing. "I have known you since you were seven. What do you think" he said and let me down. I knew that if I ran away he would pick me up again.
I ran towards the boat hat. I don't want to live anymore, not like this. Where is Zeldris when you want him to be close. "Y/n, wait, your cut" he said and just then I felt a stinging pain in my back. Meliodas ran as fast as he could towards me but was to late. "Zeldris" I mumbled. "You are safe now. Just relax" Zeldris said while helping me up and made me sit down at a tree. "Thank you so much" I said to him and smiled.
"What have you..."
