How long was I here, how long had it been since I saw his face last? How long have I lived in this hell reliving it over and over. When I thought I couldn't fall any farther into the destruction he would find a new way to bring about new pain both physical mental and emotional and I was powerless to stop him.
4 years they had spent searching for Elizabeth. After the battle with zeldris had gone so badly, It had taken merlin teleporting them out of the area to avoid death yet when everyone began to come to their senses and checked their losses for them to realize that Elizabeth was not amongst the group. She had trained for a while and her power had become so useful she had learned how to harness her healing ability and was learning basic combat while her physical strength was no where near what his self or ban had she was coming close to being able to hold her own. Yet all of that went out the window when the rest of the 10 commandments had attacked. During the fight they had killed all of them except Zeldris and Estarossa both had been left weakened yet nowhere close to dead. So the sins had returned to the battle grounds and combed thru the rumble for days searching for her when the first sign she was alive appeared on the stoop of the boar hat. Her clothes covered in blood and torn to shreds. Both brothers had made sure that their scent was all over it… now every so often they would find something of hers on the steps an ear ring, clumps of her hair, even her weapon had turned up but still no answers. They kept looking searching for years no one sleeping more then a few hours yet knowing they all where in for the fight of their lives if they ever did find a lead on the location of the silver haired woman. This went on for 4 years.
Elizabeth shivered violently as one of her masters walked into the small stone room he entire body covered in bruises cuts and worse yet bites, both demons loved to bite her deeply while they took use of her small body. She couldn't fight them she had tried so now she lay broken beaten and afraid, yet hope had yet to die. Meliodas was alive which meant he was still looking for her and until proven otherwise she would continue to hope he would save her. At least that's how it went for the first while. Then she started having these dreams so vivid that they felt real of Meliodas showing up only to be killed repeatedly in front of her. Hope was fleeting she knew if he came for her he would die and she would be stuck here hurt being used as a whore to 2 demons who claimed to be Meliodas's brothers. Yet she couldn't continue she needed out each day they used her worse then the last coming up with new ways to toure her. Until she finally broke now she was bearly a shell of her former perky self, he body used for their pleasure and still the torment continued. She had lost count of the days the months the years she hadn't seen sunlight in so long. Yet all she wanted was death and that was something they wouldn't not grant. Then it happened Meliodas came for her yet he just walked in the tiny room. From that day forward, she didn't see zeldris, or Estarossa, only Meliodas he didn't act like himself he was violent and used her the same way the other 2 had. her last hope, her savior was now the person tormenting her, raping her, and using her as nothing but a play thing. He demanded to be called master and would beat her if she called him anything else. He demanded she submit to him by assuming a position anytime in his presence would take her roughly however he wanted. She felt her nightmare would never end.
The morning had begun normal enough everyone checking their leads to see if they knew the ware bouts of the brothers and no one still having a clue when a flare of energy appearing just outside the door of the small tavern. Meliodas was on his feet in seconds and the door was practically pulled from the hinges to see Zeldris dropping a body on the doorstep smile a wicked smile and vanishing. Eyes widened on all except Meliodas who rushed forward to the naked woman chanting over and over "please be alive please be alive" he carefully rolled the small broken body of Elizabeth over carefully. He let out a small sigh as he saw her breathing and could finally hear the faint beating of her heart. He carefully picked her up before taking her inside the boar hat and to their room. Merlin looked over her injuries and assessed them noting multiple broken bones that had not healed properly she found dried fluids on the insides of her thighs as well as a lot of dried blood. She truly was lucky to still be breathing. So Merlin bathed her off with a warm rag removing as much of blood and other fluids as she could. They all took turns watching her but Meliodas refused to leave her side. It tooks several days for the medical brews that merlin had given her to wear off, and as they did they wished they had not.
She awoke slowly taking note she was warm, she felt clothes covering her body as well as blanket. Something she had not been allowed in a long time. She slowly blinked her eyes to look around she noted it was no longer the stone room but a room that looked like the room she had shared with master before he became cruel. Sunlight was just starting to peer into the room she slowly started to move when she noted an arm wrapped around her waist holding her in place. She slowly turned her head and noted the golden locks and let out a strangled gasp and she quickly jumped form the bed and assuming the standing position he required her head dropped hands behind her back and on her knees. Tears fell as her hopes shattered that she was finally free. The other sins must be in on it. They must know what he's been doing. They didn't care. She sat like that for hours as Meliodas slept her feet going numb and the fear becoming over whelming, the tears would not stop. As her small body shook with each breathe.
The sound of crying awoke Meliodas from his sleep the first deep sleep he had since she had vanished. She was safe in his arms when he went to sleep yet when he awoke she was not their panic rose within him as he shot out of bed to see her kneeling on the ground head down and crying. "what are you doing?" he asked confused as to why she was not still in the bed her body couldn't take much more.
"I, I am sor-ry Master. I d-d-don't kn-know how I got here. Ple-ease forgive me." She gasped between sobs. Her tears falling on her knees he moved in front of her before going to her level.
"Elizabeth it's Meliodas"
"I know master" he slowly reached out to touch her face she stiffened at the touch but did what she could to not fight the touch as he lift her chin to look at him.
"what did they do to you." He whispered his thoughts being voiced without his thought.
