Normal POV
The Boss waited impatiently for his subordinates to arrive. He wasn't happy when his henchmen, the ones he ordered to spy on Zeldris, were caught...they were reported to have been beaten to a pulp, sleeping in the hospitals, quitting their jobs, thrown into jail, ranway, or have disappeared. All of his subordinates were one by one being taken down. He gritted his teeth.
The Boss was pretty sure that this was Zeldris' work. It looks like the Boss wasn't the only one with subordinates. (A/N: he has no idea that he's going up against the Seven Deadly Sins XD) Most of the reports given to him were people of different physical characteristics. They must have been trained to be professionals to go up against his warriors.
The Boss feels it. Zeldris is getting closer and closer. In order to stop his tracks, he had to act fast. Luckily, the boss knows Zeldris' weakness. And that is, he can never fight back..when someone he cares about put on the line. He smirked at this.
With one phone call, The Boss called in his top female servant. She came into the room with her short orange hair visible when taking off the helmet.
"any particular reason why you called me Master?" her annoying high pitched voice echoed in the room. The Boss liked this but since she was the best out of the rest, he had to bear with it.
"Vivian...I have a job for you..."
"Ohhhhhh...I hope this would be better than last time..." she hugged her self at how her last mission was a sucess.
"It is...I need you to find this person for me..." The Boss threw a photo of Zeldris at her to which Vivian caught by hand.
"Isn't this that Ire kid?" she has heard of Zeldris mutiple times. "so what? You want me to babysit him? Cuz I do not babysit...children..." she tore the picture in half.
"No...better yet, I want you to find out his little... 'sweatheart'..." The Boss said darkly. "Rumor has it that he's been with a woman...always..." The Boss oh so wanted to see Zeldris breakdown. "once you find her,...dispose of her..." that was a direct order.
"now that's a mission...accepted." Vivian took her helmet and walked out of the office, her heels clicked at every step she takes.
While Vivian is out doing her mission, The Boss quickly opened his laptop to look over his new bride's picture one last time. The laptop screen revealed HER wearing a yellow gown. What a princess should always wear. She was a beauty. She had the looks and the money. The Boss was determined to have her.
"You and I will be together soon..." he touched the screen and wiped the cheek of the girl. "...my Elizabeth Prinzesse..."
He made another phone call, this time..it was a different mission. "The time has come, make it look realistic. And be sure...don't harm her..." he threatened the people on the other line. The Boss walked out of his office. He proceeded to his car parked on the bottom floor. It was time for the show to start.
After a while of driving to his home and changing his attire, he came out of his house looking like a normal citizen since he was dressed in the clothing commoners would wear.
"what got you in a good mood Sir?" he turned to see Liza coming into his house with a pile of paper work on her hands.
"It's time for the plan to start..."
"what plan?" she wasn't informed.
"Have I not told ou this yet Liza?" He hugged her from the back.
"No...enlighten me..." she wasn't affected on how lancelot is touching her. Sure, he was good looking but she has no feelings with him whatsoever.
Once he finished telling her the whole plan, Liza pushed him back. "you shouldn't touch me if you plan on doing that to her."
"oh come on, I don't love her...besides, you'll always be my favorite play toy.." he whispered huskily to her ear.
"shouldn't you be at your station right now?" Liza ignored his comment. The Boss sighed and left anyways. He stepped into his favorite midnight black car and proceeded to go to his destination.
He received a message saying that his workers are ready for the job. Now, the only thing left is...to wait for Elizabeth to fall right into his trap.
Meanwhile, Liza watched as her Boss drove to where his plan will take place. Immediately, Liza took out her 2nd phone that she kept hidden from her Boss and dialed Meliodas' number.
"Hey it's me..." the chatter from the other side stopped when Liza's voice echoed through the phone.
"what is it?" his voice became dark.
"you're not going to like this..." and so Liza told him about everything that was going to happen.
Elizabeth's POV
I didn't get much sleep last night. My thoughts were too consumed on the fact that Meliodas and Zeldris are brothers. I didn't realize how they looked so identical. Meliodas-sama didn't fully tell me the reason, I can tell that something happened between them...
FLASHBACK TO LAST NIGHT...
Meliodas walked ahead of me. I don't know what just happened, we had an intense moment then all of a sudden his mood changed.
"Meliodas-sama...wait...you know Zeldris?..." I ran to catch up to him. Meliodas stopped walking. He didn't face me, just stood there. I was now facing behind his back.
"Zeldris is my brother..." I knew it. They were related.
"Z..Zeldris never mentioned you, or Meldy...nor Estor...w..why is that?" I was afraid to ask but I'm curious. I had to know.
Why is Zeldris keeping a photo of Meldy and himself?
Why does Meliodas-sama only have a picture of Estor and not his other siblings?
Why aren't Meliodas and Zeldris living together when they are brothers?
More importantly, why don't I see them talking to each other?
"Me and Zeldris...we're both in conflict...look, something happened...we both don't want to talk about it, nor do we want to see each other...so just drop it okay?" Meliodas-sama's voice sounded cold and harsh. I kind of flinched from the way he told me.
Maybe it was a bad idea to ask him. Meliodas sighed and turned to me. "Elizabeth, I'm sorry I snapped like that...I really don't want to talk about it so...please leave it alone..." his eyes softened at the sight of me shaking in fear at his coldness. I still feel myself shaking. Meliodas-sama took hold of my hand and lead me out of the park.
We both walked in silence. No talking just pure silence as we went hand-in-hand to where he parked his scooter. I'm blushing at his actions. We look like a couple. Part of me was a bit scared of him and part of me was happy to be held by his hands.
The rest of the ride was plain silence. I just held unto Meliodas-sama, burrying my face unto his back. I feel kinda guilty for asking him about Zeldris, even though I was that curious. It's my fault how our good mood went down the drain so fast. Me and my big mouth.
END OF FLASHBACK...
I sit right up on my bed just consuming myself in deep thought. So many questions are swirling in my mind. Why does everything have to be so difficult?
"Zedrick Ire...Meliodas Ire...what's going on between you two?" I asked myself. I wish I'd get the answers soon. Saying Meliodas-sama's real surname sounded right. It was better than 'Meliodas Wrath'. For now, I need to get ready for another week of school.
Walking down the stairs, I found Margarett and Veronica sleeping together on the floor. You may be wondering what happened to them when I left with Zeldris? Well, judging from how the scene is arranged, I'd say that they...
One, was done shopping for clothes and went to the grocery store.
two, bought every single junk food they can buy...and leabing Gil to carry all of the bags.
three, bought the latest romance movies.
four, arrived home, wore their PJ's and started having a slumber party. I bet Gil went home after dropping them off. I can imagine him with sore arms right about now. Waking up to sore muscles.
and five, wasting all their time all night eating, watching and gossiping till they dropped.
And that's how the living room looks like a trash bin. Honestly, Soda cans spilled and food was sprawled on the floor. This looks more like someone had a party in here and then left, but the party was only made by two grown ladies. I laughed at their childishness.
At the same time, I frowned. My sisters had a blast. I feel guilty for ditching them at the mall, the three of us would have had a good time. Margarett and Veonica planned this 'Sister Day' and then I went with Zeldris, leaving them without permission. I ruined our day...but, I still feel upset for keeping a secret from me.
But, If I did stay with them, I wouldn't have known Meliodas and Zeldris' brotherhood. Life sure does have advantages and disadvantages. Whichever you choose, it will happen anyways.
Now since Margarett Onee-san didn't make breakfast, I grabbed an apple, protein bar, and an orange juice pouch from the fridge. No one is gonna drive me to school so better take the bus.
At school, nothing has changed. It was just like any other normal day. Nothing new to tell about until...I see a happy Elaina walking towards my direction with a smiling Harley beside her. What happened to them? Are they okay now? Has the Idle siblings resolved their conflict?
Elaina noticed me staring and directly ran towards me. "Elizabeth!" wow. She is in such a good mood. Elaina hugged me, I moved back a bit at how strong the force of her hug was.
"Elaina...h..how are you?" I did just leave her at my house yesterday since everyone went to the mall.
"better than I was before.." she answered showing me the happiest smile ever. How long was I gone? How much did I miss? Harley at the back smiled lovingly at his sister.
"Ohayou...Elizabeth.." Harley sounded friendly...like he really means it.
"uh..ohayou...Harley..." this was all too new to me.
"Elaina, you've got some explaining to do..." I said.
"I know... I'll tell you all about it after school. Elizabeth, do you mind?"
"what is it?" Elaina grabbed Harley's arm and attached herself to him.
"can I sit with ...Onii-chan...today at lunch?" wait wait wait wait wait.
'Onii-chan?'
Did I hear it right? Did Elaina just called Harley 'brother'? ... My mouth was slightly open but I closed it. "Uh..s...sure. go ahead." This was surprising.
"really? Arigatou... I'll tell you after school okay?..." this is the first time I have seen Elaina this happy. Pure happiness. It warms my heart to see her in joy.
"Okay...you two have fun okay?" Elaina nodded. The school bell had rung signaling that it's time for class. Elaina and I don't share first period so we went out seperate ways.
On my way to my classroom, I can still hear Elaina's joyful voice echoing through the hallways. " Ne ne...Onii-chan...can we go for ice cream later? Please?" Elaina put on her puppy dog eyes to which I know Harley will always agree. I don't know what happened to them, but I'm pretty sure that it was the best thing that ever happened. I'm really curious to know Elaina's side of the story. But for now, I need to get to class.
Normal POV
While Elizabeth walked off to her class, Elaina and Harley walked together to their respective classrooms. When Elaina turned a corner, she was stopped in her tracks by a body blocking her pathway. "there you are, c'mon, we'll be late for class." He grbabbed his bag on the floor. Elaina wondered, "Have you been waiting for me?"
"yeah. I wanted to walk my GIRLFRIEND to her class..." Brandon emphasized the 'girlfriend' word. Elaina blushed. She didn't want Brandon to see her blush so she skipped along the hallways avoiding his gaze. Brandon smirked.
Harley cleared his throat. "Don't get too confident just because you're dating Elaina. Don't forget, I'm still her brother so if you hurt her, shits gonna go down..." Harley reminded Brandon, to which Brandon replied with a smirk.
"Same to you. Don't get too confident just because you and Elaina are back together again. I'm her BOYFRIEND, so if you ever break your promise...this will get bloody." The two exchanged gazes.
"you're so lucky that we call it truce. Just remember... don't ever leave her side..."
"likewise...be the brother she wants you to be. Never make the same mistake again." These use to be rivals and now, they're in good terms.
Harley and Brandon's staring contest was cut off by Elaina's call. "Brandon! C'mon...we're late..." she called at a far away distance. "alright..I'm coming..." Brandon walked to her direction and carried her bag. "Onii-chan...I'll see you later!"
"okay..." Harley watched as his ex-rival and his little sister walked side by side. A smile crept up his face, he loves Elaina very much, he was glad that they made up. Harley went to the other direction to class with a smile on his face. He hopes that this new beginning will last forever.
