In the beginning

5 years before Elizabeth finds the sins

"L, don't cry. You were always such a cry baby."

"Why do you have to leave? You can stay here with father and me"

Her hand shakes and her hair falls forwards from her shoulder. Grabbing her hands, I wipe the little tears forming around her eyes. "Father said we must leave, he said someone can help mother. She'll be better just like before." I swallow back my tears as she embraces me. Wrapping my arms around her neck I bury my face in her neck. "I'll be back before you know it." I hold her even close, I don't want to leave but I must, for mother. Elizabeth is more than a cousin, she's my best friend. She wipes my tears now with her thumb as we share a smile.

"Hey, I have an idea." I get up from my spot and grab a small dagger from my desk. This was a gift given to me by a special knight. Cutting my hand down the middle, I hear her gasp from behind me. Handing the dagger over to her she resists taking it but she ends up doing the same her hand. We hold hands, letting out blood bind us forever. "This is my promise L, I'll come back to you." We hug one last time till a knock at the door breaks us from one another. "Ready?" I nod to my father "Yeah, let's go." Still holding hands, we walk out to the front of the castle. My mother already waiting in the carriage for us and my father talking to my uncle: The king. Hugging her once again, I being to weep uncontrollably. "Don't get hurt okay, I'll write you when I can."

"I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you too, L"

My father takes my hand, waving goodbye to L and to my uncle. I step into the carriage with my mother kissing the top of my head. "You'll see her again." Rubbing my hand I smile softly I know, we promised.


*Bang, Bang, Bang* "Evelyn I know you're in there." No I'm not~

*Bang, Bang, Bang* "MMM, I'm coming!!"

Stumbling out of the bed, I grab my robe. I rub the sleep out of my eyes as I near the door. Why does he do this every month? Opening the door, I see the landlord tapping his foot on the ground, all I can do is yawn at him. "Need something?" He grits his teeth, he knows I'm messing with him but, this is to much fun. "It's rent day. What excuse did you come up with this month?"

To be honest, I have the money, but I'm not planning on staying in this town for much longer. Recently, I heard a big rusted knight walking around, one of the seven deadly sins. "EVELYN!!" Looking at him, I see the veins popping out of his head. "I'll get it to you tomorrow. I have to go, I'll be late for work." Shutting the door on him, I get out of my robe and my nightdress, I change into something for work. I have my whole bag pack for my leave tonight.

Putting my little bag around me, I run out the door. The sun was beaming down, the heat was wonderful on my legs and back. Running around reminded me of the times I would run around with L when we were little. *I miss her.. I wonder how she's doing. Reaching my job, I see my boss waiting outside for me. "EVE!!!" I holt my running, debating if I should really go to work today. "Miss-I can explain, my landlord was asking for the rent." With a sheepish laugh, she hands me my apron.

"Can I have some more beer?"

"Coming up!"

I was rushing around, filling up cups, placing down food and also picking up my tips. I enjoyed being a waitress, it made me feel close to people and pick up knowledge from visitors coming into town. While cleaning one of the tables, a few Knights came in, they looked sweaty and tired. They took the table closes to them, waving me over to take their order.

"What will it be?"

"We'll take three ale's, please."

"Coming up."

Taking their order to the bar, I can't help but get this feeling on me. Looking around I see no one, "Weird." Tray in hand, I walk over to the Knights, the closer I got, I overheard something that stops me in my tracks.

"The king isn't doing so good, and Princess Elizabeth is nowhere to be around."

They can't find L?!

"Yeah, and I heard they're trying to find Sir Nickolas and Lady Marie. After all, he would be next in line to take the kingdom."

"Don't you hear, they left with their daughter cause Lady Marie was sick. No one has heard a thing from that family in years. For all, we know they all could be dead."

Finally reaching them, I set their ale's down, not even asking if they need anything else. I hang my apron up and pick up my sack of money from the miss. "Eve wait." The miss held out her hands to me, I smiled as I hugged her. Even though she was hard on me, she treated me well just like I was her own. She was the only one who knew what my secret was.

"I'll miss you. You take care of yourself."

"I will, I'll make sure to write when I can."

I wave one final good-bye to her before going back to my place. For the past few months, I've been hearing about a tavern popping in random cites with a little boy as its owner. I have a good hunch on who that little boy can be and if I'm right, I know L's with him. Nearing home, something comes over me, a sense of danger is waiting for me. Looking around the, I see those three Knights from the tavern. How did they find my place? Looking closer at their crest, I can see they're from Liones, Oh no.

They bang on the door, I don't know what they want with me, but I know now I won't be getting my stuff out of there. I'm sure the money I have on me will be enough for a few days, a week if I'm lucky. Taking one last look at the place I called home for some time now, but I know this wouldn't be the place I died. I know that my story is just getting started.

 "Good-bye home, maybe we'll see each other again."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yes, this happened, now for this story. I'm gonna follow the anime and manga as much as possible and I'll have to tell you that I'll have to change something but in the end it will make a lot of sense I swear, so don't give me hate for it please. 

Anyway, I hope you liked it :)
