Hey everbody! It's ya girl, Prime. Back with a new chapter before the weekend. Yay!

Okay so like it took me a while to write this chapter. Correction, this chapter left me brain dead after typing a paragraph. It took watching the whole first season of the Dragon Prince to get me typing again. So yeah...Anyways! I have few things I would like to talk about. First! *point out into the air* I would like to thank Foreveradeamerinlife and Blue(guest) for the songs they sent me! (If you wanna see the songs, look down below at the end) *claps hands together in a prayer, looking sheepish* Although, some of the songs won't happen until a couple chapters in. Sorry and thank you again. Now two! *holds two fingers up* This is just a fun fact I just thought of...but if this was an anime the first song intro to this would be Ever After High and the ending intro would be Lost boy. Why? Because I think it would just fit. Just listen to it kay. If you don't think so then feel free to tell me in a review. (no, I'm not try to get you reviews*coughs suspiciously*) Oh! And Please send me some nickname's for King that you wanna see! Why? Well...you'll see*smirks and winks* Anyways...on with the story!

Summary: I'm just a normal girl living a normal life. Right? That is until my twenty-fourth year where I landed straight into the world of The Seven Deadly Sins, ten years before the series begain! Now ten years have pass and we're doing our best to play keep away with the Holy Knight, me trying to stop King from killing Ban-oh did I mention the scales growing out my body?!

Paring: KingxDiana(onside), EchoxKing(oneside), BanxElaine, MeliodasxDiana(onside), ElizabethxMeliodas, KingxEchoxDiana(love triangle), and finally DianaxHauser and KingxEcho

Chapter 7: In Which Alicia Is A Drill Sergent, King Longs For Death And Echo Hates Magic

So, after the whole fighting thing I was out for two days scaring my teammates. Apparently, when you never used magic before it likes to fuck with your body system. So, because of my lack of magic skills, I was dead on my feet, in pain and not being able to hold anything down. (It took me about a week to get strong enough to leave the town. I got a kiss out of it though! I don't think King was happy about it. Something about me being distracted?) Yeah, I don't think King was so happy with me throwing up on his shoes when I woke up the first time. But hey what are ya gonna do about it?

"Alright people! Look alive!"

"Ugh...Five more minutes..."

Waking up half dead to the world, I watched as Alicia fight to wake up King. It was a little funny seeing those two fights; one fighting to sleep more and the other fighting to get the other up. Rubbing my eyes, I watched as Alicia get frustrated enough to raise her foot and slam it down on King. A flinch went through me as he let out a cry of pain and curled up. She looked a bit sheepish before shaking it off.

"I said get up." She scowled.

"Ugh fuck you." King gasp out in pain. "What is it with you girls kicking me in the nuts? This is abuse."

I crawled over to him and petted his head with a coo. "There, there, it'll be alright."

"Echo..." King whined causing me to giggle. "Don't laugh at my pain."

"Sorry, sorry." I yawned still petting his head. Then I looked up to Alicia with sleepy eyes. "So...what's up?"

She looked confused for a moment then shook her head and crossed her arms. "Training."

King let out a groan and sat up.

Apparently, when I was out for two day my teammates talked. Alicia was not happy to learn that King could not throw a punch or didn't know hand to hand combat. She was even more disappointed that the only heavy lifting King did was carrying Chastiefol around sometimes or fixing houses. King on the other hand learned that Alicia's family were Demon hunters (so the Snake Man Monster was right! Goddamnit!), which lead to a huge argument that woke me up the first time. Which lead me to freaking out both me and the others than puking on King's shoes. So yeah...

Now it's been two weeks or more (haven't really been paying attention, being sick and all) since that day and I've been watching those two train every morning. It seems that after the bickering, they both decided that Alicia would teach him how to defend himself. Sadly...Alicia is quite vicious and King is a lazy bum.

"Up, down, up, down! Put your back into it, maggot."

"I'm trying!"

"Try harder!"

"Left, right, left, right! Pick up the pace, Idiot."

"Don't...wanna...ugh..."

"Lazy bum!"

"Don't give up King! You can do it!"

"At least someone believes in me!"

"Do you want to do more laps? Then give me ten more!"

"Fuuuuuck!"

"Sorry Peter Pan!"

"Two arms, King! Two arms! Stop acting like a girl!"

"How?! Stop punching me!"

Wham

"Gahhh! My nose!"

"Ya crybaby!"

"Stop kicking me!"

"Then block it!"

"How!?"

"Ugh!"

I covered my mouth with my new spell book to stop from laughing as King flopped next to me. His whole back was covered in sweat as well as his arm pits and neck line. His orange-brown clinging to his face as he gasps for air. Poor King, training so hard under the sun that was getting hotter and hotter.

"She's a monster." He groaned in pain, turning around to stare blankly into the sky. "Just kill me now..."

I pet his head gently with my fingertips and handed him a canteen filled with water. "There, there, it'll be alright."

"Don't patronize me." He looked at me from the corner of his eyes, taking small sips of water. "What are you up too?"

"Sorry." I giggled. "Just reading magic."

He frowned. "You're not practicing, are you?"

I shook my head with a sigh. "No but if I was, wouldn't I get better? Less likely to throw up, ya know."

"Echo." He glared.

I huffed at him and pushed his head away. Then scrunched my nose and shook my hand. Gross, I touched his sweat. He chuckled as I stick out my tongue and whipped my hand on the driest part of his shirt.

Thunk

Thunk

We looked over to see Alicia throwing her knives into a tree trunk. We shared a looked and sighed. King rolled his finger around his temple as if to say; "She's crazy." Snorting, I gave him a light push causing him to crackle.

"King! Breaks over! Get your ass back here!"

Our fairy partner let out groan and got up. "I coming! Hold your petals! Gods, just kill me now."

Petals? Wow...fairies are so weird.

"Hold your petals? What the heck is that?" Alicia called out annoyed. "Just say hold your horses!"

King let out a sad sigh. "Yeah...a human saying. Right..."

Huh?

I reached out and grabbed his hand. "King?"

He turned to look at me in confusion. I searched his face for any meaning to his words. His paler then normal face shined with sweat and the bags under his amber-brown eyes were horrible. Black and purple with a hint of green, as if someone had punched him. Which someone might have...I don't know. He did have some scrapes and bruises along his jaw line and nose.

"W-what do you mean by that?" I asked softly feeling bad. "Hey have you been sleeping well?"

He gave me an awkward smile and shrugged it off. "Hey don't worry about it okay. I'll be alright."

With that, I watched him jog off to continue with our blonde hair hunter teammate. I reached up to yank on my braid only to remember that I don't have it anymore. A frustrated sigh escaped me as I frowned. I watched them in fighting position and continued where they left off. Shaking my head, I let out another sigh. A thought for another day for now. I opened the spell book that I've almost forgotten about and browsed through it, bored. I guess King's night terrors haven't been disappearing. I was just ignoring it...I'm a horrible friend, aren't I? I should be helping him...not...not hindering him! How can I be so selfish? Fuck...

With a growl, I flipped throw the book to see if I do better for him. Harlequin has nightmares, right? So, the smart thing is to look up dreams. Right? Right! So, let's start with D. Searching through the pages, I ran my finger through each word. D, D, D, D...D! Let's see...hmm...okay...ah!

Daymare (Mare Somnia): To bring one's fear into light. The caster summons a ball of glowing sapphire into their hands. In which they then reach into their victim of choice body and pull out their worst fear. Then the fear takes a solid form, which can only be defeated when the victim learns to conquer it. Note that the fear cannot truly be control by caster. Relating topics see Dream Fear (timor somnia), Night Terror (formido noctem), Reality Horror (re Materiae)

Okay that's not it. How about Dream Fear?

Dream Fear (Timor Somnia): Dream Fear is much like Daymare also named Mare Somnia. The true difference between the two is that the spell is casted in a lighter shade of sapphire. The spell is also less solid and more of an illusion. The only way to defeat the spell is for the caster to lose their concertation. Relating topics see Daymare (Mare Somnia), Night Terror (formido noctem), Reality Horror (re Materiae)

I looked up over to King with an uncomfortable frown. I could see his stance was unstable as he tried to keep up with Alicia. Watched as his eyes droop as he tried to stay awake. The way his chest went up and down as he panted, almost topping over. I bit my lip and shook my head. No, that one's not it either...but when I get my hands on that blonde bitch, she's gonna wish she did. With a sharp hiss, I checked the next one.

Night Terror (Formido Noctem): Just like it's other relatives, this spell also has to do with fear. The only difference is that this does not bring out the fear but cause it to corrupt the victim's dream. This spell will bring not only the victim's fear but their trauma as well into their dreams. This spell is more of a curse to keep the victim from healing mentally. The caster must summon a red orb onto their hands and could either toss or place it on the victim. The caster can also use it as a torture device if the caster wishes, they only have to keep it within their grasp and use their emotions to set a setting. The only way to end this spell is for the caster to release it themselves. Relating topics see Daymare (Mare Somnia), Night Terror (formido noctem), Reality Horror (e Materiae)

The book dropped to the ground as I placed my hands on my head and dugged my nails into my skull. Craaaaap! This was it! This was what...what was making King's sleep crappy. That...that...I let out a scream causing the other two training to jump.

"Echo?!"

King turned to me but I waved him off. I can't deal with his newly overprotectiveness right now. I have to do something. Anything! The lack of sleep because of this Night Terrors will kill him! Humans can't go without sleep for at least 48 hours! Hell, even 11 days is really pushing it! It's been months...He could die! Sure, he's a fairy but still! Gods, I wanna punch something. Preferably, that blonde witch. I could hear a rattle in my ear and the side of my face burn as I growled, searching for Reality Horror. I'm gonna make her pay...

Reality Horror (re Materiae): A spell to twist one's reality into a realm of fear and chaos of the caster's choosing. The spell is more mental than physical and would vanish by victim through self-pain, higher magic level to dispel it or for the caster to become unstable. Relating topics see Daymare (Mare Somnia), Night Terror (formido noctem),Dream Fear (Timor Somnia)

Helpful...

I blew my bangs out of my face. Then I turned back to the page of the spell that was used on my friend. I traced the lettering...

"Night Terror..." I whispered, bringing my hand up to see a red orb appeared in the middle. Then crushed it with a smirk. "Watch out you sorry excuse of a witch, I'm gunning for you.

I felt my stomach squeezed as if I was going to hiccup. A choking cough ripped out of my throat, mouth tasting a bit bitter. Oh gods, I'm gonna throw up. I lend over hand, hand going to my mouth. Everything around me was going dimmed, almost dark. Crap. Maybe I shouldn't have tried that spell...I felt myself start to fall over to the right. Oh shit...

"Echo!"

"Echo, what the fuck?! I told you not to practice!"

Okay, okay, maybe I should've listened...

King: 10, Echo: 01

Fuck Magic!
