"Wait, wait wait. There is an 8th sin?!" I exclaim.

"Yeah." Meliodas casually says.

"There is an 8th sin in the SEVEN deadly sins." I exaggerate the seven.

"Now that you say that aloud, yeah that does sound stupid."

"Yeah, it does. Anyways what's he like?"

"She."

I blush at my mistake. "Oh sorry."

"Anyways, she's the vulture sin of despair."

"That sounds awful."

"Sure is. But she's amazing. She's absolutely beautiful and powerful." I felt a surge of jealousy flow through me. Meliodas must have noticed. " But she's not my type." I let out a sigh of relief. Ever since I have fallen in love with the man in front of me, everything he says or does is taken to heart. Good or bad. "She has enough magic to challenge Merlin, strength to challenge Escanor and Diane. She just has absolutely no emotional control"

"So what's her sin?"

"She was oddly open about it. Even when hers was quite violent."

"What did she do?"

"She has depression and anxiety. That's obvious due to her being the sin of despair. She also had this obsessive disorder where she is extremely attracted to someone. "

"That's awful."

"Not really. She protects that person with her life. The person is very safe."

"Does she just kidnap people from the streets."

"It's only kids. She only kidnaps kids."

"Have many kids has she taken?" I ask, completely dumbfounded.

"She has kidnapped 3 kids. Well, three that I have seen while serving as a holy night. She protects them with her life. Almost as much as I protect you." I blush at the simple comment. "But all of those kids have died. I don't know if she has gotten more kids or not. She has a curse on her placed on her by an evil sorceress. All kids she has fallen attached to will die within a year."

"That's awful."

"Nothing we can do. Even Merlin has tried to help her."

"What's her name?"

"Oh right. Her name is the vulture sin Celina"

"Celina. That's a pretty name."

"It means insane."

"Oh, her parents played a cruel joke on her didn't they?"

"No, she named herself that. She wanted to be known for her insaneness."

"Huh? That's quite weird."

She's quite weird. But that just Celina."

"What were the kids like?"

"Well, the first kid she got was a girl name Pregice. She was very sweet and wanted to be a holy knight like her big brother. She liked to draw and she wanted that to become her magic. She would have a pen as a weapon and she would make anything she drew come to life. Well, that's what she wanted. Pregice had actually once achieved her goal, making ice cream. She air drew an ice cream cone and then it just appeared out of thin air. It was really cool to see. Then she caught a disease and died. The next child was a boy named Seward. He didn't live long and I didn't pay any attention to because he was so spoiled, but Celina loved him, so we kept him around. He died during one of our missions. But it wasn't because of a blast. He just passed out cold and never woke up. The last child was another girl named Mary. She hated Ban for some reason and would bite and attack him. It was very entertaining to watch. Mary was only 5 and didn't even know what a holy knight was. She didn't last long either."

"Hey, Cap'n?" Ban interrupts. "Where do you think we can find Celina?"

"I already know. She's locked in a mental asylum."

"That makes sense. Do you think we can guarantee the safety of everybody here at the Boar Hat once she is here though?" he says with actual concern in his voice as he holds Elaine. I gush at their relationship. I didn't know Ban had such a soft spot for the adorable fairy. Elaine makes eye contact and smiles sweetly.

"Course. She's not that inhumane."

Then a window shatters on the left side of the Boar Hat. I squeal as some of the glass comes towards were Meliodas and I are sitting. Meliodas covers me from all the glass by caging me in his secure arms. I blush at the contact. A slender woman steps through the broken glass.

"Well, that last statement is bullshit." Meliodas murmurs in my ear.

"I'm back bitches." the woman says.

"Celina? How did you get out of the asylum?" Ban says. I look over and see Elaine is in the same position as me.

"I knew you guys were gonna get me next so I broke out myself."

"How did you know?"

"Oh ban you're so stupid. I felt your magic energy." she looks at me and Elaine. "Who are these ugly bitches?"

I feel Meliodas stiffen and Ban snarles. "You take that you bastard!" he says while charging towards Celina. I look back towards Meliodas his eyes are a darker green then their regular emerald green. He shakes his head and looks back to me.

"Hey don't listen to her. She does that to everybody."

"Does she really mean it?" I quietly ask. I don't know why her comment hurt my feelings so much.

"Yes and no." I look back up into his eyes. He looks concerned. "She doesn't like change. And adding 2 new people into the seven deadly sins is a big change. So she just means she needs some getting used to you guys."

"Does she really think I'm ugly?"

"I don't know. She'll warm up to you though. Everyone does." I blush again. "But don't let this tamper with your guys' future relationship."

"Right!"

"Captain!" Celina calls. "Are you gonna answer my question?"

"If you ask it nicely, without offending the 4 of us."

"I only saw 3 people get offended," she says tauntingly. "That bitch." she points to Elaine. "That dick" she points to ban, who is on the floor bleeding out of everywhere. "And most importantly, that bi-" she didn't get to finish the sentence before she is on the floor and she has a giant gash on her neck that is just pouring out blood. I put my hands to my mouth to muffle a gasp. I look to Meliodas. He has Lostvayne out and that has a bit of blood on it.

"Enough swearing," he says calmly, then mumbles something under his breath that I couldn't hear.

She puts her hand to her neck and then looks at the blood on her hand. She lets out a maniacal laugh. She stands up and starts to twirl about.

"I made the captain mad!" she chants. Then she stops where I am. She leans in close until our noses are touching. "Have we met before?"

I back away slowly and do a quick curtsy. "I am Elizabeth third princess of Lioness. Nice to meet you."

"Oooh. that's why. You were that child that Meliodas never let me near, just in case I grew attachment."

A scoff came from behind us.

"You're the person that the captain is madly in love."

A choke came from behind us from Meliodas. There was also a loud laugh from Ban.

A blush crept up on my face. "W-what?! No, he doesn't! I-uh AH!" I cover my red face with my hands.

"What? It's obvious." Celina says confused.

"I forgot how blunt you are Celina," Meliodas says, still flustered.

Wait? Doesn't that mean that what Celina said was true?

"You haven't been around me for that long?" tears well in her eyes. "You're so rude!"

"And overdramatic too." Meliodas sighs.

"Hmph. I see you haven't changed either captain."

"Fortunately yes."

Celina looks around the tavern. "Where am I?"

"The boar hat. My tavern."

"I never thought you would be running a tavern."

His warm smile never left his face as he talked to Celina. "I mean, I always loved alcohol."

"I know you have and so do the others. Speaking of which, where are the others?"

"King and Diane are sleeping outside." he points out the window. "They finally became an unofficial official. Ban and Elaine are right there. Merlin is in her lab. Escanor is with Merlin just for fun."

"Gowther?"

"He was locked in a prison and now he realizes he was a part of the 10 commandments and now he's confused."

"So where is he?"

"Upstairs."

Celina looks at Elaine. "So you are the fairy princess snob?"

"I wouldn't say, snob. But yes, I am the fairy princess."

"Why aren't you dead?"

"Celina!" I step in. "have some filter."

"Shut up you. I don't care about other people's emotions unless they prove they care about mine."

"Well," I start. "That's quite selfish of you."

She turns her head. Shocked. I am too. I can see a flicker of shock in Meliodas' eyes too.

"Is that so?" she asks. I finally get time to study her features. She has pure navy blue eyes. She has straight blonde hair with red streaks through it. She is wearing a black crop top that her cleavage is practically pouring out of. She is also wearing a black skirt that has rips all throughout. She is wearing black knee-high boots as well.

"Yes indeed. Only being considerate when others choose to be is a horrible mindset to have."

She stalks over to me. She is the same height as me, but yet I feel so much smaller than her.

"Who are you to tell me? I am way more powerful than you. I don't even feel any magic energy coming from you."

"You might be more powerful than me, but where it stands, I'm way more respectable."

This statement makes Ban cackle.

"Elizabeth has got guts."

Celina has a shocked look on her face.

"I-i'm sorry!" I start. "I didn't mean to be rude, it just wasn't nice when you started being rude to Elaine and I consider Elaine my friend, so I had to speak up! I didn't mean anything by my statement!" I take a deep breath. "I understand my place now. I won't speak up again."

I see Meliodas shake his head in disapproval.

Celina laughs her maniacal laugh again and put her arm around my shoulder.

"Speak up as much as you want! I've haven't had anyone speak up to me in a while. You really put me in my place!"

"H-heh, thanks?" it was almost a question.

"No, I should be thanking you! I haven't been put in my place since the time Meliodas almost killed me for trying to see you when you were super little" another blush crept up on my face. I look at Meliodas and see he is sporting the same look I have. He rubs the back of his head.

"I think that's enough from you Celina," he says, still flustered. Is everything Celina saying true? If so, does he have feelings for me?

A door opens from behind us and I look and see Diane and king. Their eyes go wide as they see Celina with her arm around me.

"Celina?!" she says, almost panicked. "When did you get here?"

"Diane!" she says completely shoving me to the side. I stumble and mentally prepare myself for the tile floor. But arms grab me before I reach the floor. Of course, it's Meliodas.

"Sooo, that's Celina."

"Yep, she is definitely got a lot of things going on in her head."

"Forgot to mention, she's got schizophrenia"

"She's got more mental disorders?!" I ask dumbfounded.

"Yeah, she was locked in a mental asylum for a reason!"

"The poor kids!" I almost yell.

"Sshh. quiet down. And no, the kids are the only thing keeping that madwoman sane."

"So is that why Ban was almost panicked at the sound of her return?"

"Yeah, and because she has no filter and doesn't care about other people's feelings."

"I noticed."

He helps me back to my feet. I catch a glimpse of celina's reunited with king and Diane. Their smiles seemed forced like they secretly hate her.

"Does Diane and sir king not like Celina?"

"No, everyone is just afraid of her breakdowns, that they have to keep her happy."

"But they look so, unhappy to see her."

"They don't, we would have kicked her out of the team if we did. They are just nervous."

I see Diane's mouth help me. Celina looks over and makes eye contact with me.

"Have you met the princess Diane! She is so wonderful!" Celina holds her hand up and then a weird feeling aura surrounds me. I squeal is I'm lifted into the air. But then I stop because I feel helpless and hopeless as this constricting grasp is surrounding me. Tears flow down my face as I find it harder to breathe and the guilt of everything I've down is pressing down on me like a million pounds.

I see Meliodas make a mad dash towards Celina and then uses Lostvayne to slash her throat again, causing the aura to fade and me to fall down. Meliodas catches me, of course.

"W-what was that?" I ask as more tears streak down my face. Breathing was still difficult.

"Elizabeth, calm down please," Meliodas says. His voice seems strained. Like he's either angry or stressed. Or a mixture of both. Usually, his words would calm me, but the hopelessness and loneliness in my heart made it hard to breathe. More tears streamed down my face. I covered my face with my hands to muffle my sobs.

Diane and king also come rushing towards me, so did Elaine.

"Shhh, it's okay Elizabeth. That was one of Celina's special attacks."

"Despair grasp." king finishes.

"That's why you are having a panic attack."

"Someone help me, make it stop!" I scream through my hands.

"Celina used the aftereffects grasp?!" Diane said freaked out.

"Goddammit," Meliodas mumbled. "I'm gonna take her up to my room to calm her down."

"If you try anything while she is in this state, I kill you." Diane snarles.

"All hell broke loose because of me." I sob out. "I don't deserve to live!"

"Shh. don't say that." Meliodas' concerned, strained voice just worries me more.

"I don't deserve you, I don't deserve Diane, I don't deserve king, I don't deserve hawk, I don't deserve anybody!" I shout still through my hands.

We finally make it to our room. He opens the door swiftly and sets me on the bed. I curl up into a ball and continue to cry.

"Damn you, Celina."

"She didn't do anything wrong. I'm the failure."

"No you're not!" he yells, his eyes a deep black. "You are the most important existence to me!" I sit up confused. I look him in the eyes. His eyes are now an emerald green. "I thought I made it obvious but maybe not. Anyways, I am in love with you. Always have been from day one. I love you Elizabeth and seeing you like this breaks me. I wanted to do this later in our journey, but Celina is gonna ruin everything, so I had to hurry it along."

And that's why the effects wore off. I jumped on him, wrapped my arms around his neck and held on to him like my life depended on it.

"I love you too, sir Meliodas. I didn't want to tell you, in case you didn't feel the same way. I didn't want anything to be awkward between us and I didn't want to tamper our relationship."

"You don't know how happy I am to hear that."

He pulls me away from him. Tears continue to pour down my face. "Why are you crying?" he sounds so concerned.

"I'm so happy!" I exclaim. "I never thought my luck would work out this way"

"I'm happy," a tear goes down his face. "Maybe this time, I can save you."
