I hum softly as we stare up at the stars, slowly falling asleep to his warmth. It takes three more days to get home, but Meliodas and I spend it happier than ever. We finally arrive at the castle and I squeeze Meliodas's hand as we climb up the castle stairs, heading to my mom's throne room. I swing open the doors, seeing her leaning over a map, Elizabeth next to her.

"Momma! Elizabeth!" I cry.

She looks at me and kneels, opening her arms wide for me to run to. I jump into her arms, tears of happiness in my eyes.

"Momma, I'm fine. You don't need to declare war on the demons." I say.

"That's ridiculous Aggie; the demons kidnapped you in the middle of the night. They are cruel, uncivilized people who need to be taught a lesson." She hisses.

Her eyes find Meliodas and she looks him over cautiously.

"Who is this boy?" She asks.

"He is Meliodas, Son of the Demon King." I say. "I love him mama, and we're going to have a baby."

"What?" My mother cries in anguish. "Aggie, you stupid girl! How could you bear a child with this foul soul?"

"Mama, Meliodas isn't bad; he is a good man!" I say. "Just hear me out! Please."

"I don't want to hear it Aggie." She growls. "You! How could you do this?"

My mother raises her hand to slap Meliodas and I stop her, wailing.

"Mama, no! I love him!" I cry.

"You are not my daughter." she says. "Demon, I'm going to kill you and your entire race for corrupting my daughter with your foul soul."

I sob as Meliodas dodges another hit, pulling me away from my mom.

"Aggie, run!" Elizabeth cries.

Meliodas picks me up, running away from my mom as she follows us, Elizabeth blocking her attacks. I sob into Meliodas's shoulder, watching my mom fight my sister before feeling us fly away from the castle. Once we're far enough, Meliodas rubs my shoulder and comforts me.

"She's just angry love. Give her time." He whispers.

"I know. It's just… I thought she'd be happy." I whimper.

"It's going to take her some time to warm up to the idea, my love. But it'll be okay; at least she knows you're safe." He says.

I nod my head slowly, curling up in his arms and holding him tight. I fall asleep in his arms, rocked to sleep as he carries me away. I wake up the next day in a damp cave, hearing a lot of rustling and grunts. I look around and don't see Meliodas so I dash out of the cave, seeing two of the demons from the throne room fighting Meliodas. Before I know it, one of them appears before me, his hand driving through my stomach. I cough, my hand going to my wound as I realize that there was a gaping hole through me. I can't help but to think about my unborn child, wondering if they're okay, though somewhere inside me I know it's too late. I hear Meliodas cry out as the man is ripped away from me, letting me fall to the ground. Meliodas catches me, taking me in his arms and holding me tight, sobbing.

"Aggie, you're going to be alright. Stay with me." He whispers.

I cough up more blood, looking into his eyes and brushing a strand of hair from his face.

"Melio, remember your promise, okay?" I whisper. "I love you… please, protect my sister. Stop the war."

He cries out in anguish, holding me close as tears stream from his eyes. He starts running towards my mother's castle, but I feel my life fading fast.

"Please, no. Not you…" He sobs. "Stay with me, Aggie!"

"Melio, I love you… Please, don't be sad. Don't let the darkness control you." I sob.

"You're going to make it, okay?" Meliodas says. "Just don't talk. Stay with me, baby."

Meliodas runs into the castle, dashing up the stairs to my mom's throne room. He bursts in, and my vision starts to fade as the pain starts to go numb.

"Aggie!" Elizabeth cries.

"What happened?" I hear my mom ask.

"We were attacked, they got to her. I couldn't get to her in time." Meliodas sobs.

"Momma, Liz, please… Meliodas… He's a good man…" I choke out.

I slowly close my eyes, feeling my life fade away. Regret fills my heart as I realize I won't be able to have a life with Meliodas, only to die and leave him behind.

"Aggie, please! Stay with me, hold on for a little longer!" Meliodas says.

"I'll always be with you… I'll always love you… Meliodas… Liz…" I whisper with my final breath.
