I. Am. So. Sorry. It's been nearly a month since I last updated. Please forgive me! I actually THOUGHT I had updated. I had loaded the file and everything. I just forgot to hit post. I'm an idiot, huh? I hope this chapter makes up for it. I'll try to post another chapter sometime this week, too.
Thank you Vented567, TheDragonDemonicHuntress, and Glitter1000 for favoriting! Thank you TheDragonDemonicHuntress and Glitter1000 for following as well!
Thank you Silver and Silver-IronScript for your reviews as always! I have a couple great ideas from your latest comments. Also thank you CaronShark for reviewing as well.
On with the story!
The sins and company have been brainstorming for the last half hour about a way to bust Elaine out, but have so far come up with nothing. The truth is, no one can think on an empty stomach, and Ban is still drunk, of course.
"So no one can come up with anything at all?" Hazel asked. She was leaning against a table, and she was starting to get annoyed with the fact that it was 11:00 AM and Ban STILL hadn't stirred. "Well, ever since I broke out of there, Silva and I have tried to think of something, but the place has been on lock-down." "Great, so it's gonna be heavily guarded then." Diane groaned. "Actually, it's not as bad as you think if you know how to get around them." Silva piped up. "Well then, we just need the right moment." Meliodas said. "Exactly!" Silva replied, "but the problem is, it's difficult to sneak in and out, invisible or not." "So how are we even supposed to get in?" Elizabeth asked. "And we circle back to our problem..." King sighed. At this moment, Ban came downstairs. "They're just a bunch of guards you could take 'em, easy." he clucked. Silva shook he head. "Too risky. Now go make something we can eat, please!" Ban went into the kitchen, and the conversation continued. "Are all the odds against us? Meliodas asked. "Not entirely." King explained. "We have someone on the inside who still hasn't blown their cover."
scene change
Guila was leaning against the wall of Elaine's cell. She had been trying to keep constant tabs on her, and the easiest way to do that was "guard" her. Elaine must have noticed she was there, however, because she asked if there was any word on her brother or Silva. "None yet." the blackette responded. "What do you suggest I do, Lady Elaine?" "I trust my brother's judgement. Wait until he makes a move." Elaine could feel it. The time was coming.
Back with the sins
"So the big plan is to wing it." Hazel concluded. "Well, we always do that, and things turn out fine." Meliodas remarked. Hazel sighed, "We're screwed." "Oh Hazel," Elizabeth smiled, "Stay positive!" "I'm positive we're screwed." the brunette muttered. "Can you guys get serious?" Diane scolded. Silva interrupted, "We're heading in now." She enacted Zulfiqar and they snuck inside.
This place doesn't have an actual name, it never did. However, the horrifying deeds the humans inside commit give it a nickname: "Mors" meaning death, destruction, and execution. There is danger everywhere if you're not careful, and if you get caught, they'll kill you. But if you possess magic, then your fate is worse than death. To this day, no one has ever been able to get out by themselves. The only two people who have made it out alive to date are Gloxinia and Harlequin, but only because SIlva was on the outside.
Everyone except for Silva and King stopped in their tracks, looks of shock and horror on their faces. "Cap'n," Ban said. "I know." Meliodas replied. Their exchange was barely above a whisper. Ban, getting permission, then exchanged glaces with Silva and King. Suddenly, they take off. "Wait!" Diane shouted after them, yet none of them did. All she got was a shout from Silva over her shoulder. "Don't worry! Stick together and you guys should be fine!"
This left everyone remaining speechless. Hazel broke the silence, "Told ya, we're screwed." "What should we do?" Elizabeth said, flabbergasted. Obviously, Meliodas heard her, "Follow them!"
With Ban, King, and Silva
"You made sure they'll be fine, right Silva?" King asked. "If you have to ask that, you don't know me at all. You know better as well as I do they'll be fine with my magic protecting them. I'm more worried about us. I can only use one invisibility shield at a time, and we left the safety of that shield by breaking off of the group!" "So if we get caught, we're dead meat, huh?" Ban smirked, "Things just got fun~"
With Elaine and Guila
All was quiet. "I'm sure you know what to do now." Elaine whispered, worried someone would hear. "Of course I know. They'll come soon, right?" Guila inquired. "Yes, don't worry." The blonde confirmed. "Then I'll be off."
Thanks for reading and have a great rest of your day! (or night) I'm sorry it's so short.
