For a quick summary about this chapter:

It's circles around Meliodas and Artemis and how they get closer and learn more about one another. Ok enjoy!

It took about a day or two to get to the next town, so Artemis used that time to learn about the Sins and their powers, the countries in the region of Britannia, the different types of magic, plus her own type, and the fighting styles they used in this world. Artemis and Meliodas also got closer, like siblings because Meliodas helped her get through her nightmare, past and lost memories.

Flashback

…Fire, demon, a giant burning tree, red eyes, blood, pain...

"Elaine... Elaine...Airy...Arty...Mis...

"ARTEMIS!"

Artemis woke up with a startle but the dream was still fresh on her mind, all she saw was someone with blonde hair, strong and holding her down on the bed. Meliodas was the one holding her down. He was setting up the bar for the next day, he was walking pass the room she was staying and heard her cry out. Meliodas try to wake her but she was fighting him in her sleep, so he had to grab her arms and hold them down and screamed her name to name her up.

Artemis forgot she was in Britannia and not in her room back at the in the Narrows but she didn't know that just yet...

Artemis was scared, so her fight instincts kick in. She got out of the hold grabbed his arms and flip them over. With a speed she didn't have before put an arrowhead on her attacker's throat. (She found a purple rock and shape it into a small arrowhead)

Meliodas didn't expect Artemis to move so fast and pin him down in one swooped, for the first time in a while he was caught off guard, "Airy..." Meliodas also had enough experience to stay still until Artemis came out of her dreamlike state.

Artemis's eyes came into focus and remember where she was, and who she's with. "P-Pipsqueak? Wha-what the hell are you doing here?" She got a hold on herself and got off him, "Ah, sorry." They were both sitting on the bed facing each other. Artemis was looking for something, anything negative in those bright green eyes but all she can see is concern and a whisper in her mind that said trust him.

"Don't be. I heard you screaming. Are you alright?"

"I-I..." Artemis stop and played with her hair, a tick when she's nervous but at the moment she was also ashamed. He caught her in the middle of her nightmare and didn't know what to tell him exactly, but for some reason she didn't want to tell him to leave. She just wanted him to sit with her but didn't know how to ask because she can't remember the last time someone care for her or asked if she was alright.

Meliodas can tell Artemis was struggling with her inner conflict, it worry him a bit that she reminded him of himself when he was lost and finding another reason to live. "Hm, maybe tell me what you can."

Artemis knew she was untrusting and hard but after two days being with Meliodas and Elizabeth, talking and hanging out with them felt more natural then sending time with her own sister.

Her mom is in or at least she thinks her mom is still in jail. And she doesn't even want to think about her dad. But for a long time now because she just wants someone to trust in, someone who she can be herself and they don't judge her or her background. Someone, who would let her scream, cry, just let it all out and they will still be there for her.

She wants to trust him.

Artemis took a deep breath and made the first step. The first step of trust. Starting with her dream.

"It's a dream I had ever since I was little. At first it was about this girl and boy. The girl was blonde, she had this golden eyes that seem older... wiser and whenever I see her I feel almost happy but sad at the same time.

Then I saw a boy. Orange hair, amber eye boy... when I see him I feel pain and… loneliness, when I stop seeing him after sometime it was like he disappear. But I felt as if I knew them. When I was younger I felt like I was dreaming of my own wonderland, my own get away from my… family."

Meliodas raised an eyebrow at that but didn't say anything.

"As I got older the dreams got more real, more frightening. It felt like a memory… like one deep in your mind… the one you want to forget but can't. Then I dreamt of this guy… for some reason I can only remember his eyes. Those beautiful, pain deep red eyes. With him I felt… loved and protected… as if I had my own guardian angel."

"Red eyes?" Meliodas was quiet and as he listen to the dream and noted the more details he got the more it sounded familiar. Meliodas wanted to try a memory trick he hasn't used in a long time, due to… complications. "Um, did you think I can go inside your head?"

Artemis got out of her thoughts and reel back when she heard he can look into her head, although that sounded really familiar for so old reason. Artemis cross her arms and look at Meliodas like he was kidding, which he wasn't. "You can do... Never mind. Of course you can, but go into my private thoughts? No thank you, you perv."

The blonde boy just shook his head and explained, "No, to understand because your dream sounds like an incident that happen some time ago. With the Fairy King's forest, so will you let me?" Artemis didn't know what to think but since she was in a new world and her family, well more like her father, wasn't there... But she also remember she wanted to trust him. Artemis can only hope that he'll trust her back. Artemis looked into Meliodas's eyes and the hand open to her. Finally she took a leap of faith, grabbed his hand and let him go into her mind.

They are now in Artemis's mind right now and all of her memories are mix together. To others it would look like a mess of pictures scrambled together but to Artemis they were clear as day. It was her Wonderland.

Artemis and Meliodas look around for a minute, "Wow, what is this? Wait a minute… these are my memories but why do I have so many dark spots?" Artemis was confused to the area they stumble upon.

Meliodas walked to different areas looking at every corner to find an opening to her dreams, but replied, "Usual they're forgotten or someone push them back so you don't remember."

"Hm, that would explains a few things." Artemis said back because she did try to remember a few things but they always slip away whenever she got close like the last time she saw her sister, Jade.

Meliodas poked around and finally found the opening to her dreams but needed Artemis's help to find the right one. "Okay. I found the opening to your dreams but Airy… this might be painful for you but you have to remember this is your dream, your world. Just know nothing can hurt you here."

"…okay." Artemis closed her eyes and took a deep breath, it wasn't a long wait because the nightmare came rushing forward like a tidal wave.

Meliodas saw the dream move like someone press the fast forwarding button on it, not that he knew what that was, but this was the normal speed that Artemis was use to when she's dreaming. If it was a normal human, they wouldn't understand the dream at all but lucky Meliodas wasn't normal. To him it was like watching a fight go on for hours. Meliodas got to the part where it turn into a nightmare. He saw two, no three figures but two of the figures look familiar to him but the smallest one, not so much. He suddenly remember a passing thought, with one of his follow Sins and how they felt guilty about a forest fire.

Meliodas look at Artemis who seem to be in pain but holding it together so she can show Meliodas the rest of her dream. 'Demon... Fairy forest... Youth', those were the words that repeated in his head but before he can see the whole dream from the start to finish, everything shatter.

Artemis held her head as she was violently taken out of her dream, "What's going on?!" Artemis scream out in fear when everything started to shake and between the cracks and dark areas, a bright light was shining through.

"Your memories! All the dark parts are trying to open up and reveal themselves to you, but it's your choice to see them or not." Meliodas said to calm her down and anchor her in place.

Artemis calm down a bit and saw flashes of memories she didn't know but made sense, like missing pieces to a puzzle. Artemis held out her hand to Meliodas, "Can... Can you watch them with me?"

Meliodas froze for a second, knowing this was her way of showing trust. He nodded and grab her hand. They were surrounded by light and then it level out.

The light clear up and the first thing was a group of teens, all wearing weird and colorful outfits. But what shock Artemis the most was seeing herself in a dark green archer outfit, as if she was a Green Arrow fanatic. Meliodas till his head as he saw the teens fighting their enemies and wonder why they chase them in such obvious outfits. "Those are the sidekicks but what am I..." Then all of a sudden the memories came back to her, six months of memory to be exact.

"You got to be kidding me," Artemis face palmed, "No wonder I feel more cautions and relax then before… I'm on a team with them. Ugh! I hope they're ok. I'm pretty sure once they get their memories back its going to be hell. God, I can already feel a headache coming on." Meliodas just chuckled at her dramatics. "I'm happy about my mom… that she's living at home, I hope she doesn't worry too much about me… How does that work anyways?"

Meliodas just shrug with an indifference face, "Not sure."

Artemis smile with disbelief at him but the reassuring squeeze on her hand was enough.

"I'm actually glad that you are here with me. So… do want a tour of my mind of all things I forgot?" Her mind now look like a true 'Alice in Wonderland' show and not the mess of pictures from before.

"Hmmm, sure."

Artemis and Meliodas started the walk from the beginning, when she was a child. Artemis try to stay away from the bad parts of her mind but Meliodas drag her to them because 'she had to face her fears and her past,' so she can truly move on. Meliodas told Artemis that she should not be afraid of her own mind it's her place to feel free, it doesn't belong to anyone but her. They saw the memories that were bad, painful, and dark; this is not what a kid should have as a childhood because it looks like the good days were boarder line abuse. Meliodas notices a muscular blonde man who would train Artemis and would only take perfection. The dark hair woman on the other hand would favor the other girl more but always made sure her kids were happy and enjoy the lessons she would give them. The other girl was there for Artemis but she left and Meliodas felt what Artemis felt that day, pain and betrayal. But the good parts, no matter how small, Artemis was glad to visit them again, like having her first ice cream or hitting the bull's-eyes for the first time and the first time she made a friend without her dad knowing. They both felt the emotions from every memory and they saw the secrets that people try to keep from her but Meliodas ground her from blowing up.

They were almost done with the memories but the last part was the darkest. It was the memories of the dream she has. They didn't see all of it because it was lock.

"It's locked." Meliodas said as he try to open the gate the memory was in but it wouldn't move… not even a little.

"How is that possible?" Artemis asked while touching the surface.

"I have an idea but it's pretty farfetched." Meliodas scratch his head at the idea but it was the only one that made any sense.

"Tell me."

"You... might be a reincarnation of a fairy or something else... and only someone you knew back then, from your old life, can open the memories, but that's the only idea I can come up with."

"H-how? I'm not even from here. You saw where I was born at." Artemis stutter

"Well maybe you did in the past life. It could explain your powers and your dream. From what I saw your family isn't as gifted as you… well in anything and they don't have any magic or special abilities like you, for example you are faster than your sister. When you have fun it shows but when you try to think about it, the fear your father put in you, holds you back. You need to let go of the past and move forward. I know you're more then you realize because I saw it when you were protecting Elizabeth... you used your powers without holding back… and I believe in you as you and Elizabeth believed in me, even without knowing who I was at first."

"...You're a funny dude, I hope you know that. But thank you…" Meliodas looked at her for clarification, "Looking back I noticed you're the first person who told me that…that you believe in me. And funny thing is… you know me more than my teammates and that you still accept me, even with knowing how my family can be and I'm pretty sure Elizabeth would cry for me and tell me she'll be there for me no matter what." Artemis smile like all the pressures she had was finally lifted after so long. "Well I'm glad to have my memories back."

Meliodas look down with a small smile, squeezed Artemis's hand a little tighter but she does to same to his hand. "Does this mean you're not going to my Airy, now?"

Artemis slap his head at the silly question, "Pipsqueak, I'm not even sure how I got here, and we just saw my memories so I don't think I'm leaving anytime soon. I know I just met you like two or three days ago but you… you feel more like brother that I have known far longer than my own sister and Elizabeth is easily becoming my best friend. So, Pipsqueak will you truly accept me as I am, with the mess up family, bad childhood and the darkness in my life?"

Meliodas put an easy smile on that was so bright there were stars. "Yes, without no doubt. And do you Airy do the same for me, with the darkness and wrath in my heart, horrible life I've lived before and the crazy family I'm looking for?"

"Yes, you got yourself deal Pipsqueak because you're stuck with me until I get back to my world... Just don't forget to show me who you really are one day and know I'll be there to listen or stay by when you need a friend." The two share a smile and out of nowhere Artemis pulled Meliodas into a tight hug. "Thank you…" Artemis said with a teary smile and since she couldn't help herself, "Don't touch my butt."

Meliodas chuckled in her shoulder, "Ah. Don't worry. Airy… I'm sure you'll find the family you're looking for." Meliodas had no idea to how true those words were. They hugged for another minute before letting go of one another.

Meliodas told her how to get out of her head and he saw only ten minutes had past. "Huh, that felt longer, right Airy..." Meliodas only heard silences, "…Airy?" Meliodas felt a weight on his lap and saw Artemis was asleep but this time peacefully with a small smile on her face. Meliodas let out a quiet chuckled and smooth down her bangs before patting her head softly and moving her head to the pillow. Meliodas took the arrowhead from her hand and made it into a necklace with a ribbon from her damage dress.

He got an idea to help her feel more comfortable in this world and find a balance between this world and the one she's from.

"Sweet dreams Airy."

End of Flashback

'He may be a perv to Princess, but I'm glad to have met him and Elizabeth. I hope one day he and Elizabeth will tell me their stories.' Artemis thought with a smile and playing with the arrowhead she made and was very happy to find out that Meliodas turn it into a necklace from a piece of her dress. Artemis left her room and went to Elizabeth's to talk for a few minutes.

Meliodas open Elizabeth's door and saw the two beautiful ladies that were becoming dear to him, talking and laughing. After watching them for a second he called out to them, "Elizabeth, Airy."

The two girls stop talking and look at the blonde male by the door.

"Yes?"

"What's up?" the girls replied.

"Could you ladies come downstairs in a minute?"
