Chapter 2 ~ We Always Return

The third princess, Elizabeth, rushed out of the castle after changing into more casual clothing, being careful not to make anyone suspicious as she go to the gate and took off running to the hotel that the letter specified. She didn't need directions, she had gone to the same place multiple times to see the same people. They had become her family, and as she ran, she remembered exactly when she had meet them, and what had happened, as she let her feet move on instinct.

A five year old Elizabeth had finally made it out of the castle walls, and was now wandering around the city. It was the dead of night, but the princess was not the least bit scared, as she had been wanting to come out for so long that she couldn't find it in her to care. As she wandered around the streets, she was unaware of the shadow that was following her. When she hears a noise coming from an alley, she is desperately looking for someone to play with. Not being out often, she believes that it may be a person who could fill her request, so she wanders into the alley, and the shadow jumps out, not allowing her to leave.

"Hello little girl," it says, in a voice so rough and horrible, the girl jumps back, to which the man reacts by stepping forward. "What's a pretty thing like you doing out here at night?"

"I wanna play with someone! How come you're blocking the way out?" The girl asked, her innocence still intact. Being young and sheltered, she does not know what people on the outside are like, and she really does believe that this man is nice.

"Well then, how about we play tag, I'll be it, okay?" The man says, taking a knife out of his pocket and allowing the young girl to see it. At this, the princess begins to feel panic wash through her, as she steps back until her back is against a cold wall, and she has reached her dead end. "After tag, we can play hide and go seek with the king, okay Princess?"

"Stay away!" Elizabeth said, trying her best to keep her voice smooth in an attempt to make it look as though she was not scarred. It did not work, and her voice quickly betrayed her. The man continued to come closer, until, all of a sudden, he stopped, his eyes rolling to the of his head before closing, and a cough came from his mouth, sending blood onto the princess. Something lower caught her attention, and she looked from his face to his stomach, where the tip of a sword was, along with blood that was quickly soaking his shirt.

The man fell to his knees and the blade came out of him, and Elizabeth could see a girl with red eyes that appeared to be glowing. Her long black hair was blowing in a slight breeze. The girl looked to be around six or seven, but she had just killed this man that had threatened Elizabeth. For this, she would forever be grateful, though, when she found her voice, all she could manage was a small, "Thank you."

"Your welcome. Be more careful when going out. You are lucky that he was one of my targets, and that you aren't." the black haired girl said. She turned to leave but hesitated for a moment, before turning around to look at Elizabeth again. "My name is Akame, what's your name?"

"I'm Elizabeth, the third princess of Liones!" Elizabeth stated happily, glad to have someone that appeared to be on her side, and around her age. She was excited with the idea of being able to play with the girl. Akame smiled at Elizabeth, before she turned to leave once more. "Wait" said Elizabeth, making her turn once more. "Wanna play with me for a while?"

"Sure," Akame said, smiling again, happy to play with her since she didn't play very often.The two girls played until the sun began to come up, and the princess had to go home.

The hotel was in view now, and Elizabeth slowed to a walk, running out of breath and stamina. She walked over to the side of the road and sat down to catch her breath and try to conduct herself. Another thing she used this time for, was to recall the memory of meeting the other members of Night Raid. She had been older, yes, much older.

A sixteen year old Elizabeth roamed the streets, as she had multiple times before. Akame had sent her a letter telling her to meet her and some new people in a hotel this time, instead of meeting at the normal place, which was where they had first met. She had to admit that she was a bit nervous to meet the people that Akame called her friends. For as long as she could remember, it had only been her, Akame, and sometimes they would meet Kurame along the way to a good playing spot.

She reached the hotel, opening the door, and walking past the receptionist's desk, to the upstairs room her friend had told her to meet them in. When she reached the door, she began to question whether she

should go in or turn around, with one big question playing in her mind. It repeated like a broken record and caused her to begin to question if coming was a good idea. 'What if they don't even like me, or want me to go away!' Shaking these thoughts from her head, she opened the door, to be greeted by six people she did not know watching her in silence. This silence lasted a moment, before another door opened, and a familiar head popped out.

"Akame," Elizabeth cried, running to the girl and enveloping her in a hug. Said girl hugged her back, looking around the room to see the surprised and curious faces of her friends. She smiled, and broke away from the embrace and letting the princess look at her with her own smile before Elizabeth turned to look at all the other people. "So, are you all Night Raid?"

"Yep, I am the boss, General Najenda." The woman stood, and the princess took a good look at her. She had very short white hair, and an eye patch covering her right eye. It also looked as though she had a metallic arm. The women, Najenda, was smoking, and did look like the most capable to lead that was there. At least, that was what the princess thought, as she smiled at the woman, who, in turn, smiled back at her, and began listing off the other people in the room.

The first person she pointed to was a man with green eyes that matched his hair. He wore goggles upon his head, and looked like he had claws. Elizabeth giggled to herself thinking he looked kinda funny. He smiled at her and waved, and she did the same back. Najenda finally spoke again, introducing him to the young princess "That would be Lubbock, he enjoys flirting with just about every girl here."

Elizabeth was a bit taken aback with the last thing the general said, wanting to ask a question, but choosing not to when she pointed to another person. This one was another male, but this time he had black hair that was styled to shape a heart. His eyes were a darker blue than her own, but still looked light and joyful as he smiled at her. She, of course, smiled back, accepting any new friends she would get. "That one is Bulat. I would not suggest liking him as more than a friend as he happens to be gay."

Once again, Elizabeth was taken aback by what the woman had said about the people in her team. She would have said something this time, but the woman once again pointed to another member of the team. This one was a girl with long pink hair in two pony tails, held by lighter pink bows. She was wearing a nice dress, one that looked as though it would cost a fortune. She was not smiling, but looked as though she was sizing the princess up, almost trying to tell her strengths and weaknesses. This frightened her, but she smiled at the girl regardless, hoping that she would not find anything wrong with her and not want to be friends. "That's Mine. She treats all new people like that, not just you."

The last statement was a relief, and Elizabeth felt content when Najenda pointed to the next person, which was a girl with blonde hair. Her bangs were much longer than the rest of her hair, but it was in a way that looked more cool than weird to Elizabeth. This girl was wearing a shirt that covered the minimum amount of skin, leaving her entire stomach exposed, and her pants were baggy, but white besides the little bit of black and yellow. She was staring straight at Elizabeth, smiling wide. "That would be Lione. I think you'll get along with her just fine."

Finally, it was the last girl in the room, and she had purple hair, and pretty glasses. Her dress was long and that too was purple. She had her nose in a book, and didn't look away as she waved at Elizabeth. This made Elizabeth giggle, and look back to general Najenda. "That would be Sheele. She is a bit of a book worm, don't mind it. She is actually very friendly."

Elizabeth looked around, taking in all the people once more, before turning to the person who had become her sister over the years. Akame and Elizabeth smiled back at each other before the younger turned back towards her new friends to make an announcement. "Hello everyone! My name is Elizabeth, and I'm the third princess of Lioness. It's wonderful to meet all of you. Now, do you all want to play with big sister and me?"

Catching her breath and preparing herself, the princess got up off the sidewalk, and went into the hotel. The letter had said that the group had gotten three new members, and that they would be training her to be a member of Night Raid this time. She had already made a promise to herself to learn how to control her powers, and was excited to be learning how to fight. Only one thing was left, and she thought of that as she walked up the steps to the room she would meet her family in, old and new, and where she would meet the last three members.

Third princess, Elizabeth, placed her hand on the door, and took a deep breath to settle the nerves she had of these new people not liking her, and, seemingly calm, she opened the door. She told herself that the people would always feel like family, no matter how many When she looked in, her sister was standing in the chaos of people placed in multiple spaces among the room. "Hello everyone."

The members of Night Raid looked at her, smiling the instant they saw her, all but three, who the girl quickly noted must have been the new three. The seven members she knew went over to her, locking her in a group embrace, as they all regained in old memories with their old friend. The princess and the assassins stood there for a moment, before one of the newer ones cleared her throat. Elizabeth looked at the girl, whom was the only female she didn't know, then at the two males she had never meet. Everyone let go of the princess, and Najenda went to the front, preparing to introduce her to the rest of the team.

"Ah yes, I almost forgot to introduce you all to each other. That one in the middle is Chelsea, the female that was recently recruited." The girl that Najenda had pointed out had pinkish hair and eyes. She was wearing a vest over a long sleeve white shirt, and had on a plaid a black hairpiece with a pink butterfly was visible, along with headphones. Chelsea appeared to be sucking on a lollipop, though, Elizabeth couldn't tell if there was actually one attached. She waved to Elizabeth and Elizabeth waved back, her smile coming back to her.

"The one to the left of her is Tatsumi. He was recruited a little bit before the others, but you have not met him either." This one was a male with brown hair, emerald eyes, and a yellow shirt with a white collar. He wore black jeans, brown boots and gloves, and was carrying a large sword. By now, the princess was not frightened by the weapons, knowing that the people she had come to know as her family were all assassins. The boy smiled at her and waved, and she did the same back to him.

"Lastly, the one to Chelsea's right is Susanoo. He has a bit of OCD, so please be mindful." Elizabeth looked at the final member of her ever growing family, taking a minute to fully take in his horns before moving on. He had blue hair and eyes, and the plate in his chest suggested he was a special type of humanoid Imperial Arms (Teigu in the manga). He was wearing a white robe, with black and red mixed in every so often. All in all, he looked a lot older than her, almost like an uncle, but not quiet. The young girl could not figure out where to place him, but soon gave up and turned to her sister, who, almost as if reading her mind, gave her the answer.

"He's more like a butler than an uncle, though, I suppose he could be like both." At this, the princesses eyes widened, she regained her composure rather quickly and turned to the people she had just been introduced to. At first, she hesitated, knowing that they would most likely react the same way everyone did when they found out she was a princess. Even the people who were here now had reacted almost the same way. The only person who was not wrapped up in that boat was her sister, and that was more likely than not because they had been so young. Finally, she gained her confidence, raised her chin, and presented herself in a way befitting her title.

"Nice to meet you. I am Elizabeth Liones, third princess of Liones." The eyes of the newest members went wide, as they bowed to her, asking for forgiveness for being so impolite. Elizabeth sighed, knowing that was coming, but kinda hoping to avoid it this time around. Apparently, her wishes were going to go unanswered, and she would have to go through this again. "Please, don't worry about all the formalities. Just treat me like you would treat anyone else."

Mine walked up to Elizabeth, and encircled her in another hug. The pink haired girl was plotting, though, it went unnoticed by the silver haired as she hugged back another person who had become like her sister. "It's nice to see you again Elizabeth. So, how's life with you been sis!"

"It's Incredible, I made more friends, and oh how I wish you all could meet them. They were the Seven Deadly Sins, but they left a little while ago, about a week ago, but now you all are here." The princess smiled at the assassins, and they smiled back at her, all promising themselves that they would someday meet these Seven Sins that their family member was so close with.

"So, are you ready to begin your training to become an assassin, Elizabeth?" Najenda questioned the princess. The younger just looked at her with a small smile for a moment before glancing at her sister, then back to the person who was much like a mother to her.

"Would you mind if we start in about a week? I would like some time to get reacquainted with each of you before the training starts. You may all come stay in the palace next week, as Holy Nights! I will let my father know if that is okay with you all. I would be able to see you more if I did not have to take the time to sneak out and come to the hotels you all stay at. Is that okay with you all?"

"Yes!" came the votes in a unison that sounded so crystal clear, you'd think it was practiced. Bulat, Lubbock, Akame, Mine, and Leone all raised their hands to the sky as they voted. Sheele had her nose in a book, but had made her vote too. Najenda smiled at her team, then, zoned in on the princess once again.

"I guess we should, since the team is clearly in favor of your idea. You've got yourself a deal Elizabeth. When should we come by to see you at the palace, and who should we say we are?"

"Yay! You can go ahead and say that your Night Raid, and you can come by at about noon. I should get back to the castle soon, since I kinda left without telling anyone. Good-bye everyone!" With that, the princess left the hotel, walking back to the palace, no longer in a rush to get somewhere. As she passed by people, they would say hello, share pleasantries with her, and be on their way. When she arrived back at the palace, she snuck back in, and up to her room, taking out some regular clothing, before hopping into the bath.

Some time later, Elizabeth emerged from the bathroom, now dressed back in her royal clothing, and her hair being brushed. Once she got the tangles out of her hair, and straightened it out once more, she ran to her father's study to tell him the news. He was delighted to here about it, and was happy to accept the new nights into the ranks of Holy Nights. The fact that they were assassins made him slightly uneasy, but the Sins had been criminals, and they had just recently saved Liones.

Soon, it was time for them to arrive and they came at the exact moment they had been told, smiling as they met Elizabeth's family, the newer recruits falling slightly behind the others, still not really used to the princess yet. A week went by fast, and the time to train came. By that time all the people in the group were comfortable around each other, and the team had heard the whole story of Elizabeth and the Sins, and they were understandably mad at the people who were friends with their sister only a few weeks before.

On her first day of training, Elizabeth was told to meet her instructor in one of the many fields on the castle grounds. She was thrilled when she got there to see her instructor was none other than the first person to become friends with her, her sister, Akame.She smiled at the elder girl who was to become her teacher, and the elder smiled back, pulling out two swords, and telling the young princess that she left Murasame with the others while handing her one.

"This is just to test how your abilities are so far. Are you ready, Elizabeth?"

"Yes, I am. I hope I'm at least decent, but please go easy on me." Said the young princess, getting into her fighting stance.

"Good, if that's the case, then... Begin!"
