The once bug women is now crushed by Diane's foot. Hawk and I are now by L, Hawk can't help but cry that he couldn't help her. "I'm so sorry Elizabeth." I sniff by my own tears. I hold her hand seeing just how hurt she really is. "L-I...I should've done something. I-"

"She's pretty messed up, we gotta get her back to town." I nod, wiping my tears away while clutching my side. In a weak voice L ask Diane to take her to the prison. We all can't believe she still wants to go on with the state of pain she's in.

"You won't be able todo anything in the shape your in. The enemy is waiting for us at the prison."

"I suppose not. I don't have any great power, I can't go sword to sword with a Holy Knight or handle myself well in battle, but even so...I made up my mind to at least be there for sir Meliodas and Ban, cause I must keep my promise."

Diane's soft smile gives me hope that we can come along with her to the prison. She says the best way for L to travel is in her backpack but it may get a bit bumpy and it will worsen her injuries. "I'll bet in too. I'll make sure you're feeling comfy."

"But, you're hurt as well."

"Hey, don't worry about that. Let's get to Meliodas aright."

She smiles at me before we both get placed inside the backpack.

******

Meliodas's POV:

"Are you sure she's in this tower?"

"Well lets just say he didn't strike me as the kind of solider that would lie to my cute little face."

"Well who would?"

I look down to Elizabeth passed out on Eve's lap. Eve's side is showing some blood but she smiles at me, completely ignoring her pain. "How are you holding up?" Eve's smile makes me feel at ease for her. "I'm in pain but, I need to make sure she's better before I can worry about myself. After all, I know she would do the same for me."

"Thanks for looking after her."

"That's what cousins are for!"

With that, Diane zips up her bag and we all head into the prison. The long hallways are damp, cold and only showing by the torches on the wall. We look from hall to hall in search for Ban and the doctor's daughter. We are able to find her, sleeping on a bench. "This is her, without a doubt." Diane stretches her arm out which must have scared her cause she screams at the top of her lungs.

"Is this her?" Eve ask. I nod at her, she feels her head, she tells us all she's fine but passed out by Diane'e hand coming at her. "Don't worry you'll be able to stretch soon." Eve nods before the bag shuts on her, still holing Elizabeth's head on her lap. We all hear feet coming up behind us, from the shadows we see Ban.

"Ban?"

"Captain."

We glare down each other, hearing Hawk and Diane talking in the background. "I have a bad feeling about this."

"You're right. I think you'll want to get behind me and hid there."

It seems that nether of us can keep up this tough front before we break into joy to see each other again.

"BAN!"

"CAPTIAN!"

With beating each other up and breaking the prion around us, we only have one thing on out mind. Lay on the ground, getting ready to have our famous arm wrestling rematch, to once settle the score and me winning.

"Ready?"

"GO!"

We've played this game 720 time and he claims he's won 361 of them. Oh Ban. The whole prison has fallen complete around us and I hear Eve yelling asking if everything is okay out there. I'll answer her later. I gotta a game to win.

******

We enter to see the father and daughter embrace once more. We see the whole room has been put back together and a scar over the Doctor's chest. "It's just like what happened with Meliodas's wound."

"Well we gotta get going. Besides, there's no telling if more Holy Knights will show up after they hear of the news."

As we turn to leave, the doctor calls out, asking if he can give us a meal. "Well now, maybe I'll take you up on that."

"Leave out the poison this time."

******

"How's Elizabeth doing and Eve?"

"Elizabeth is resting comfortably and Eve passed out in bed with her. She managed to get some bandages on her. Thankfully we saw nothing was poking out of her."

"That's good."

Hawk, Diane and I watch over both of them sleeping peacefully. Hawk asks why she's in your room and not hers up on the third floor. A flustered Diane can be heard behind me. "About that, Ban completely took over Elizabeth's room, he said he lay claim to her room and now it's his."

"What's are they supposed todo without a room?"

"Well Elizabeth can always share one with me."

"Well that's true, those are the only two room and-Like hell she will!"

Elizabeth's POV:

I hear voices, where am I?  I turn on my side to see Eve next to me. Her side is hurt but it doesn't seem to bother her sleep. I move a slight piece of hair from her face, she groans and swats at her nose. I look us to see Lady Diane staring in on us. "Sir Ban."

"Everyone made it back in one piece."

"Oh. Thank goodness...What a relief."

A single tear rolls down my cheek to which Diane points out that I'm crying once again. With a smile on my face I wipe away the tear.

******
"Alright Elizabeth. Time for me to officially introduce you. This is Ban. He's the Fox Sin of Greed."

"Hey, don't bother getting up."

Sir Meliodas ask Sir Ban where he got his outfit. He responds by saying he can't parade around naked in front of a princess. I apology for not standing to him but he bows to me saying he's completely okay with that. He says all four of us should be friends. "You mean the 5 of us?" Looking around he gives a worried chuckle, wondering if Sir Meliodas needs glasses. Looking down he finally sees Hawk, Sir Ban can't really come to terms about him but, he seems to enjoy his company.

I glance around to see if I can find Eve. Diane and Meliodas see the worry on my face and ask what's wrong. "Eve, is she here too? Is she alright?" Diane points over to the door opening slowly, I see the back of Eve, she moves slowly, but holds some plates full of food.

Eve's POV:

My side is killing me but at least the doctor was nice of us to give us a meal and I have to say this food smells amazing. I hear the cheerful talk behind me, the laughing and the smell of beer in the air. "I brought some more food for everyone if we need more." Turning I see everyone waving to me. "Eve, you're alright." L's smile makes me feel at ease. When I look in front of me my breath hitches in my throat.

"Ban..."

He looks at me while chucking his beer still. His fox like eyes gives me shivers and sets my heart racing. "Do I know you?" I couldn't respond to him. I was so shocked to see him I didn't know what I could say. Thankfully L tells him I'm her cousin and I once used to live in the castle.

"Ohhh, so you're a princess too huh?"

"..."

With my long silence he doesn't; push it anymore and continues to drink along with everyone else. The rest of the night we talk and laugh, Diane, L and I have some well todo girl talk while the boys get drunk alone. As we chit-chat, the doctors daughter sees a rush of a star fly i the air and soon the sky is filled with them, all crossing over them just like the poem.

When shooting stars cross the night sky in the form of crosses. Britannia will face her darkest hour. This is a trial, preordained since ancient times. And it will herald the beginning of a holy war between the guiding hand of the light and the bloodline of the darkness."
