Chapter 2: Fleeing the Kingdom
"Everyone, split up! After we get away we'll regroup later!" Is what Meliodas ordered. They followed his orders, he was their Captain, but no one knew how wrong his words were.
Ban, the bandit. Who liked to steal things, or his way of putting it, borrowing things, rushed home. He, who stole so many things, actually never really cared about those materialized objects (well some more than others.)
He did have somethings he cared about: Elaine, a old worn out book, and Ellie. That's why he was rushing home, he needed to grab Ellie, to make sure she was okay and get her away from the Kingdom.
As he made his way to the cottage he swung open the door to find his daughter quietly and peacefully sleeping on his old bumpy couch that both had taken a liking too. He sighed, he worried himself over nothing. She was fine, and fast asleep, and as much as he didn't want to wake her up he had to.
He strutted over and shook her. Ellie rolled over muttering something to herself and pouted with her half-asleep face. "Whhhhy did you wake me? Is it really morning already?" The crystal blue haired girl whined looking at her father with sleepy eyes.
"No." He replied with a serious face and tone. "The Kingdom's knights are after us, we have to leave," he said pulling out two traveling packs.
"After us? You mean you and the Sins? What for, you didn't steal something important did you?" Ellie questioned sitting up, arms crossed over her chest.
Ban shook his head and started throwing in some of Ellie's clothes, along with his own. "We're really leaving?" A sad tone came from her mouth.
"Yeah, sorry Ell, it's time to move, but don't worry," he flashed a cheesy grin, "now you can finally meet the Cap'n and the others," he responded. "We split up for now, but we're going to regroup later." He stated.
She nodded and got up, throwing on a short red cloak, her brown boots and grabbed a few books from the shelf they layed on. Ellie gathered more supplies and flipped the backpack on her back as Ban did the same. "That's enough, let's move," the bandit ordered.
"Okay!"
They moved through the back door and into the back alleys. There was a commotion everywhere, with people running and screaming, along with little children wailing. The two of them walked through it all turning a blind eye to it all, but this rattled Ellie's skin. "Dad?" She called out.
"Yeah," he replied going through alley after alley.
Her facial expression was unseen by him, but she felt like he could just feel her emotions. Doing this she grabbed his hand and squeezed it uncontrollably, and the bandit's feet came to a stop. "Don't worry, they'll be fine," he muttered almost reading her emotions.
"O...okay," she replied and his feet moved again. Through the crowds, for Ban it was hard to spot the Cap'n, more or less any other of the other Sins. 'The best bet would be if the Sins were being hunted down to flee the Kingdom of Liones, and then find a safe haven somewhere else. Especially out of the watch of the Holy Knights,' the crystal blue haired girl thought.
Moving for around close to an hour the two fled the Kingdom of Liones, and looked, in search of any of the other Sins. They both waited around the borders of the Kingdom for about a day or two. They were at the most unnoticable exit from the Kingdom that the Sins would have to come this way, but no one did.
Ellie's back was roughly against the back of a tree, and she gave a impatient sigh. "They're not coming, are they?"
Ban got up. "Yeah, they're not coming. Something must have happened, and when we split up, and now the rest of the Sins are gone," he explained.
The crystal blue haired girl got up and grabbed her bag. As she started walking a piece of paper hit her face. "Ah!" She yelled. "I've been blinded, blinded!"
"Calm down, it's just a piece of paper," the bandit said pulling it off her face. "What's this?" He questioned. He turned over the paper and it read: The Order of the Seven Deadly Sins has tried treason upon the Kingdom. If found turn them in: Dead or Alive.
"N-no way," she choked out, "dead or alive. That's terrible."
Ban quickly grabbed the paper and threw it away. He snatched up his daughter's hand and they started walking. "Where to now?" She asked.
He gave off a flashy grin again. "Anywhere we want. Whatever happened, happened. But now we can go anywhere we want, doing whatever we want," he answered.
"Okay, I like the sound of that!" Ellie cheered.
Both walked of until the exited the borders of the Kingdom and weren't in somewhat enemy territory. That day they both left the Kingdom, not harshly turning away. Harshly fleeing for their lives.
