And I am finally back after a crazy long hiatus which involved manga reading, exams, fantastic new originals and, Yamada-kun. ;) Basically all my brain juices ran out and somehow inspiration is seeping in through my eardrums. Listen to Lauren Aquilina, she is QUEEN.
Here's a short one I wrote today, as a filler for you guys (sorry!), AFTER READING THE NEW CHAPTER (176)! Crazy, I know. And so much action! We (SPOILERS) finally get to see Meliodas' two brothers, and I was really hoping for a fight between them.. talk about family divisions. Anyway, just a quick thought on how Eli should feel when she sees her hero down. Enjoy!
She couldn't hear a thing.
There was no noise in her ears. Her mind went completely blank.
The reason everything was happening right now… the cause of the Holy War thirty decades ago…
A horrible nausea filled her mouth and throat.
Feeling it was hard to breathe, she let her mouth drop open to inhale air.
Instead, she felt like gagging.
No noise. No words.
She was rendered completely immobile.
So all those times… all those times when he would look up into her eyes with his own emerald gaze and smile, reassuring her everything was okay?
All those times when the warmth of his hand, his skin brushing against hers, was enough to make her melt in an instant?
All those times when his voice, hoarse and rugged, cried out for her not to go?
Were all those times just a lie that disappeared in a blink of an eye?
She looked at him, battered and broken on the ruins of the battlefield. His arm sliced cleanly off, blood dribbling down his side and chin; he was a pitiful sight. But the Commandments' statement had left her in the state of outstretching a hand half of the way.
She knew how ruthless he could be. She knew how terrifyingly beautiful he was: a magical creature of his own kind. Perhaps that's how she fell for him.
But then… were these feelings she felt, the feelings she felt for this beast-turned-human, real now that she knew his deep troubled past?
He was the cataclysmic difference that began a war that shook the skies and made the stars fall from the heavens. He was the substantial change in this once peaceful world, the change that caused it to tip in imbalance.
How could she have come to love a man who had made such a huge difference in the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly, the things that mattered and the things that didn't?
She felt like she was going to pass out. She had to grab onto Hawk to support herself.
Were all those feelings… a lie? Then what was it she had felt during those moments?
Had she possibly been disillusioned by his aloof charm? Or his cocky grin? Was it love? Was it hate? Was it pity? Was it gratitude?
All she knew was that it had definitely been real.
It is real.
Those words, 'live for me', how could they be spoken with such truth it made her heart want to burst? The things he did for his friends, were they all for nothing too?
His trusting green gaze surfaced in her mind, and finally she felt free of her mental chains.
She believed him.
She knew he was changing, slowly, with all of them here.
He was a monster back then, his existence shaking the ground as though it was scared of him itself. But her hand in his made her want to cry and laugh at the same time. This man's gentleness, cruelty, grief, loyalty, pain, mystery, kindness, fears; she wanted to take them all in her hands, and cradle them like a fragile thing. He was fragile, after all.
She had to save him. She couldn't let him die.
She had to find a way.
Very short, but nonetheless, hope you liked it! - Mint-chan.
