An Unknown Bond [Zeldris x OC]

Ch. 36 - The Battle Begins

A/N: Hey everyone! Of course, I haven't forgotten about you! But I'm still not having any wifi (*inserts eye rolling*) and have no idea, when I'll finally get it. It's making things really hard as there's barely any mobile data in my new apartment and I can't even continue writing my chapters on here because neither the app nor website will load.
I am still writing on this story and thinking about you all but I have to ask you to be patient until this whole wifi-being-online-problem is finally solved someday in 2021! (Because who cares about e-learning anyway? Nobody needs to be online during this pandemic! (*irony off))

Also, very welcome to all new readers! I'm glad you found my story!
Now, I hope you all enjoy this new chapter! I'm curious to read about your thoughts because writing this battle is like the hardest thing I've ever had to write so far.
Stay safe everyone and stay strong! We'll read from each other sometime soon again!
Lots of love. <3

Chapter 36 - The Battle Begins

"W-what just happened?" Diane mutters unsettled whilst everyone stares at the empty spot in shock, not believing what we just saw.

"Merlin, where did you bring them to?!" I ask furious as fear rises inside me as the two boys I love with all my heart have vanished right in front of my eyes. The only sign that this fight really had took place is Meliodas' secret treasure in my hand.

"They're right where Meliodas said they would be. At the place where all of this started."

"What does that mean..." mumbles King.

"It means they're back in the demon world" I say with grittet teeth. With Meliodas' sword in my hands, I clench them into fists again as a new wave of anger flows through my veins. He's done it again. He kept his plan a secret and fights on his own. He broke his promise. And not just that. That Zeldris and Meliodas are in the demon world can only mean that they're executing the plan they told me about last night. They are going to fight against the demon lord. And I can't help them. Tears form in the corner of my eyes and I can't tell if it's out of anger or fear and worry.

"Y-Yami..." Diane mumbles worriedly when she sees the blood dropping from my hands as the blade of Meliodas' secret treasure cuts deep into my to fists clenched hands. I follow her gaze and slowly loosen my grip.
Elizabeth comes closer and heals the wounds I've caused myself and when our eyes meet, the same emotions that I feel reflect in her eyes but she tries to hide them from the others.

"Now that this has been resolved..." I hear Estarossas voice speak up. "We can finally start, can't we?" He smirks widely while talking and I see how Diane grabs onto her hammer tightly and Kings body tenses up. They're ready to fight.
I hold up my hand to stop them. "Nobody moves" I say tensed and don't move my eyes away from Estarossa. I want to avoid a battle as long as possible but I can see that he's waiting for it to finally start.

"Yami, what are you doing?" asks King confused.

"Nobody.moves." I repeat more sternly. Estarossa smirks overbearing and then everything goes so fast, I can barely notice it myself. Estarossa rushes towards me and Elizabeth, which still stands right next to me, and lifts up his sword. Right before the blade hits either Elizabeth or me, I block his attack with Meliodas' sword in my hand.

"Well, if that's not our little, betrayed angel. I have to admit, I was surprised when we saw each other in Vayzel. I didn't think you were still alive."

"Estarossa, always unpleasant to see you." 

A sinister smile appears on his face as his dark eyes look deep into the mine. He looks just as threatening and intimidating as I remember him.
"It's interesting, isn't it? While you remember us so well, Zeldris seems to have completely forgotten you. Not that I'm complaining. But it seems like you haven't left a lasting memory on him. And that, although you have spent so much time together. " His grin is smug and gets a little bigger with every word.
