Rise of Evil
Chapter Two:
Meliodas had turned up and literally destroyed the Commandment living inside of him. Merlin had enclosed everyone in one of her Perfect Cubes to keep them safe. Not that she cared if they were, in her current state.
Now that the Commandment living inside of Dreyfus had successfully been defeated, along with Grayroad, everyone could finally let out a breath of relief.
Merlin used Absolute Cancel on her Perfect Cube after lowering it to the ground, as she herself decended from the air and landed, tightly clutching the vial cotaining Grayroad in her hand.
Her eyes were still a terrifying pitch black and the red streak in her hair remained. She looked around at the many relieved faces as they prayed to the Goddesses, thanking them for sparing them.
She scoffed and slowly started to make her way to Meliodas, stumbling slightly on a few rocks. She felt Ban's eyes trained on her and briefly considered turning around and staring back, but she remembered she needed to get to the Captain.
She was almost there when a horrifying sharp pain shot through her head and her eyes widened as she screamed out in agony. She put her free hand to her head where the pain was and fell to her knees, still screaming.
There was a distant sound of footsteps growing closer and closer and suddenly it was all too loud, all she could hear. She mumbled out for it all to stop, for everyone to be quiet because they were making the pain worse but they didn't listen.
The vial dropped from her hand and rolled away a few feet and she reached out to grab it, only for someone to take her hand in theirs. She tried to pull away as she continuously hit her head with her other hand to try and get rid of the pain but it was no use. Whoever was holding her hand wouldn't let go and she soon gave up trying to pull away when everything started spinning.

Her eyes fluttered open and the first thing she was a blinding light, causing her to immediately close her eyes to block it out.
There was whispering coming from somewhere near her and she strained her ears to listen to it. She couldn't identify the voices but she knew they were both male, which left few options of who it could be; it was either Captain, Ban, or Gowther. She hoped, anyway.
Now she just had to figure out what they were saying. She caught a few hushed words such as; "eyes", "scary", "ruthless", "dangerous". She didn't know what they were talking about or who, even, but she was done playing dead.
She opened her eyes to see the Captain and Ban by the window in her bedroom, still whispering to each other, and gave a short cough. They both turned to look at her at the same time and saw her sat up in bed with a skirk on her face and pitch black eyes, a new red streak in her hair, this time at the top. "Believe me now, Cap'n?" Ban asked, slowly edging his way to the exit.
