《The Eighth Sin Emerges?(Meliodas X Reader!)》Chapter 4
Advertisement
-Last time-
"It would seem we meet at last....you deadly sins."
Y/N's PoV:
"Captain!"I shouted.
Gilthunder kicked me aside.
"This power...."Diane started.
"Yeah there's no doubt about it, Holy knight, aren't cha?"
Elizabeth stared at the Holy Knight.
"Gil....thunder? Gilthunder is that you?!"She shouted.
She knows this guy?! I winced in pain from the bindings. They were getting tighter and they REALLY stung. I still can't move, and these markings are slowly eating at my emotions.
"You know this guy?"Meliodas asked
"Yes, he was my father's attendant....so I kind of grew up with him....."Elizabeth answered.
Meliodas looked like he was thinking, when he suddenly shouted
"Hey! Wait a minute! Are you little Gil?"
"What? You know him too?" Elizabeth said.
"You know him?"I huffed.
He smiled"Sure! I even gave him lessons occasionaly when I'd find myself at the Royal Palace!"
"If you have time to chat like this, it might be better spent trying to escape those bonds."Gilthunder said in an emotionless tone.
"Hey. This lightning's familiar!" Hawk said.
"I know what you mean. When a certain someone blocked up Vanya's water supply then tried to blow the village away? That was you, wasn't it?"
That was him? Maybe that's why this power feels familiar to everyone then. My eyes felt heavy, and they started to close.
"No...."I whispered.
I forced myself awake, not hearing the conversation that was happening.
Meliodas's PoV:
Gilthunder released Elizabeth's bonds, but as soon as he did, she ran in front of me.
"No! I won't let you hurt these people!"She shouted.
"Elizabeth no!"I whisper-yelled.
Gil stared at her, and then looked at the whimpering Hawk. He kicked Hawk off into the distance, making Elizabeth run after him. Gil turned back and looked at myself and Diane.
"Now that we've gotten rid of that interruption."
"Are you sure about this? In the old days you were never able to beat me, remember?~"
"That was a long time ago. ."
I looked up at him
"You could be right,"I started,"But you could be wrong too."
Gil glared down at me.
"Then we shall see about that. First I shall release your bonds."

"Well, I appreciate that, but I got it."
Diane and I broke from our bonds, and I took a quick look at Y/N. My eyes widened as I looked at the black marks all around her face. She had at least gotten out of her bonds, but she wasn't in the best condition. I looked up at Diane.
"Don't interfere, alright?"
"Awe, you get all the fun!"She pouted, putting her hands on her hips.
I got in a fighting stance, and a bolt of lightning crashed down. Luckily I had moved out of the way in time. I leaped forward, slashing towards Gilthunder. He dodged.
Gilthunder appeared behind me and started to slash at me. I flipped forwards, dodging another attack. He kept coming at me, and I started jumping backwards to avoid getting hit. Gil suddenly stopped moving.
"What's going on? These chains...."
I saw a familiar set of black chains wrapped around him. I guess Y/N's still awake.
Y/N's PoV:
I was breathing heavily. I feel like I got run over by Hawk's mom. I saw the ongoing battle between Meliodas and Gilthunder, so I decided to halt it, even for just a moment. My chains wrapped around him, but they weren't very strong considering how much I've used them. Meliodas looked over at me, and smiled.
"Don't interfere, I got this 'Kay?"
I reluctantly released my chains. Gilthunder took this as an opportunity to attack me. I barely dodged, wobbling a little from my sudden movement.
"You are a distraction, Eighth sin. I will dispose of you. Goodbye."
I stumbled back as his blade came down. I stopped it with my hand, watching blood come from the wound. He scowled at me.
"You are very persistent, Sin."
I felt dizzy as I felt waves of power in me. I backed into a tree, my mind clouding over. Am I losing control? I desperately looked at Meliodas, hoping he'd notice what was happening. Thankfully he did, and came towards me. He kicked Gilthunder in the side, sending him flying away for the moment.
I was breathing heavily, starting to loose all control over my body. I look at Meliodas. I was scared for what would happen. He held my shoulder, a worried look across his face.

"Captain....I'm sorry"I whispered.
He looked confused now.
"For what, Y/N?"He asked.
My eyes became dull, as I completely lost control of my body.
"This."I said.
With all the demonic power surging through me, I used my chains. They wrapped around him and Diane, who had just been watching this happen. He kept a calm look on his face, but the chains were making him a little drowsy, slowly sucking the energy from him.
"Y/N. Stop, now."He said.
I wanted to scream. I could see everything happening, and yet I can't do anything to stop myself except....No. I can't.
"Y/N what are you doing?! This hurts!"Diane yelled.
I couldn't answer her. I was loosing control of my thoughts now too. The chains got tighter, and Meliodas sighed.
"I am your captain, Y/N. I won't allow you to do this."He said.
He broke the chains, and pinned me to the tree by my neck. A smirk came to my face.
3rd Person PoV:
"You can't bring her back, Meliodas. You know that don't you?" Y/N said.
Meliodas glared at her, his grip tightened around her neck. He knew that there was a way to bring his Y/N back, but it was risky. The only way to bring her back was for her to drink some of his blood, which wouldn't be too difficult. That's not what he was worried about, on no. He was worried that Y/N wouldnt be the same. He had to risk it.
Meliodas moved closer to her, moving the collar of his shirt away from his neck. He made a small cut to tempt her. Y/N stared at his neck hungrily. The demon group Y/N was from lived mainly off blood, but her high ranking ment she didn't need to drink that often. They have fangs, but they only show when the demon is starving.
Y/N moved closer to his neck, biting down on it. Meliodas winced, but let her continue. He heard the clanking of metal armor coming towards them. Y/N stopped drinking, and moved her head away. Her markings had vanished, and her eyes returned to their normal sparkling E/C. She regained all control over herself, looking at Meliodas's pale face.
"D-Did I take to much? Oh God I'm sorry!"She cried panicking.
She released Diane from the chains. Meliodas shook his head.
"You're back to normal now. It's fine."He answered, standing up to face Gilthunder, who had just gotten back.
He sent Gilthunder a smirk.
"Now let's finish this!"
-------------------------------------------------------
Y/N's PoV:
"I'm so stupid! I can't believe I lost control...."I yelled to myself.
We had gotten back to the Boar Hat after Meliodas had gotten the information to where two sins were. It was night, and I was sitting outside looking at the stars. I put my head in my hands.
"Hey." Meliodas said, sitting beside me.
I was to afraid to look at him after what happened. We sat in silence for a while when suddenly he started to talk.
"How long?"He asked, looking at me.
"What?"I replied, confused.
"How long did you starve yourself?! You know you can't handle it!"He said, raising his voice.
I jumped a bit, not expecting him to be so angry.
"Five....Six years?"I whispered, looking down.
"Why?! You can last at the very least a few months! Not years!"He shouted.
I didn't know what to say.
"I know that, I just...."I whispered.
"You're still hungry, aren't you."He sighed, running a hand through his hair.
I shook my head.
"Don't lie Y/N, I know you are."
I stood up abruptly. I was about to walk off when he grabbed my hand. I gulped, and turned around.
"You know you can trust me, Y/N."He said, moving a H/C strand of hair from my face.
I felt my face heat up. His green eyes were sparkling in the moonlight, his hair framing his features. I swear I saw a light pink dusted across his cheeks, but it's probably my imagination. I snapped out of my Trance-like state and quickly pulled my hand away.
"I....uh...."
I was at a loss for words. What just happened? What was that I just felt?
=============================
Alright! So I strayed away from the story a liiiiittle bit, so tell me what you think! I spent a while thinking and planning this out, so I hope you liked it!

The Monster Within
Ever since they were kids, Odion sensed something otherworldly about his twin brother, Apollo. The night their foster parents were murdered confirmed what Odion had felt all along. Seven years have passed since that fateful night, and those paranormal events still haunt Odion. Something far beyond human comprehension lurks within Apollo, and keeping it a secret is of Odion’s utmost importance. However, his deepest fears rise to the surface when a list of grisly murders takes place the night of their high school dance, making Apollo a prime suspect. Knowing the police will be no match for him, Odion embarks on a mission to take his brother down—even if that means he dies trying. Apollo knows he’s innocent of the crimes that took place the night of the dance. But with virtually no way of clearing his name and nearly every task force unit in the province of Ontario searching for him, Apollo is forced to make a decision. Sacrifice his freedom for a heap of crimes he didn’t commit or defend his rights by unleashing the monster he had buried within, even if that means many innocent lives will be forfeited. The Monster Within is the first book in Marcel Jones’ urban fantasy series A Life of Fear. If you liked Vicious, Carrie, Akira, or Chronicle, and you want to be transported to a world where having superpowers could end up costing you your life, you will love reading this page-turning thriller.

Love, Napalm & Homicidal Fairies
When Nasilain started traveling between worlds, she hadn’t expected to get caught by a police officer. Nasilain: Traveling between worlds always filled Nasilain with dread. All those men with their friendly smiles and hundreds of questions. What was the last movie she watched? What music did she like? What country was she from? If Nasilain could use magic in this world, she would’ve blocked the flow of calcium ions in their jaw muscles just to shut them up. The scientific knowledge she could find on the internet using the free Wi-Fi in one of the local coffee shops forced her to tolerate the occasional interrogation. But even hipsters were better than Seth, the beefy police officer that caught her teleporting. Apparently, she wasn’t allowed to lie to him, which was fine as long as he didn’t ask about the clone. Seth: Seth had seen his share of bad luck. On normal days, it manifested as a shoulder injury that got him discharged from his SEAL team or wounding a civilian while on the police force. But landing in a parallel dimension with elves in neon green pants, a cute mad scientist with magical abilities, and swarms of carnivorous fairies? That was a first. At least Nasilain promised not to use her magic to split atoms. Content warning: This book DOES NOT contain zombie fairies. Everything else is fair game though.

But the creator promises the demon’s voice will disappear as soon as he finds the right girl, the right bond. After that, they just have to escape the clutches of those who hunt them, find the Isle of Song, and free the creator from her prison. Or maybe this time, in this life, Jack will figure out what true freedom is. Come along on this action-packed thriller as Jack fights to remember who he is, tries to end an eternal war, and atone for sins he doesn’t remember…yet.

Primordial Origins

Even if your the creator of the fucking universe and all its laws and whatnot, those below you must conform to the natural laws that bind them. Even when you want to say 'fuck you' to such laws and break them, you can't because that is how you made the universe and those below you must follow it or they cease to exist in it.I'm tired of having things taken from me because of my mistakes. I've only wanted to live with those I love, but somehow in the universe I created, it decides to fuck me over. I only hope that this time it goes better. Everything seems to be going swell at the moment, but I just can't shake off that feeling that I'm about to get fucked over by myself. I hope when I get the chance to start anew amongst others, everything goes well. _____________________________________________________________________________________________Hello, this is my first time attempting to write an original story on Royal Road. I hope you'll enjoy the story as much as I will while writing it. Sorry for any plot holes/ plot armor/ cliche shit because it happens. Anyway there will definitely be foul language and probably some mature scenes, sexual or not. No idea what the release timings will be. Probably whenever I finish a chapter or two and attempted to proofread them.
