Chapter One: Demon Brothers

She was a giver.

Always poured,

too much of love.

Never realized

watering a rock

doesn't make it soft.

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

The dark clouds in the sky surrounded the landscape. Between them there were small loud flashes of light. It looked like a storm was starting. People locked themselves in their houses, lit candles and went to sleep.

Little did they know at the heights of the dark the Prince of the Darkness stood and spyed carefuly: the Demon King's son, Meliodas had other plans. That fateful night he decided to attack his enemy again. Killing was the purpose of his life. And he knew that if he wants to take his father's place, he needs to eliminate the Goddess Clan once for good.

"Why are you awake?" suddenly a hursh voice was heard from behind. Meliodas turned to face his brother: Zeldris. A big frown appeared on Meliodas' face.

"Can you shut up for once in your life?" Meliodas ruffled his blond hair and turned back to watch the situation. "Looks like they've already fallen asleep. This is my opportunity."

"Don't do it!" Zeldris spoke, intending to warn his older brother. "Without our father's permission-"

"I don't have time for that. I need to act fast and those idiots would just slow me down." right after Meliodas finished his authoritative sentence, a huge flash of light appeared in the sky.

"They're here." Zeldris whispered with a worry in his pale face. "You against all those powerful Angels... There's still time, brother. Let's go home."

"Yes." Meliodas smirked. "You.. go home. Don't interrupt my business here." And with that he spread his dark black wings and flew out of his hideout.

His left hand was empty while in the other hand he was holding a big dangerously looking sword. The wrath in him grew bigger with every second that passed.

Goddesses come to this place every now and then to bless the lives of a new-born ones. It was a perfect chance to steal the souls of people living in the village and kill as many Heavenly creatures as possible.

"You filthy Goddesses. This is your-"

"You come here often?" his thoughts were interrupted by a soft innocent voice. He blinked with a confusion unable to say a word for a few moments. Is this angel really trying to talk to him? Doesn't she know who he is? Or is it some kind of a plan?

"What do you think you're doing?" he asked angrily. "Leave while I'm still in a good mood so I don't have to kill you in an instant." a few black marks appeared on his forehead and a chest. His eyes became red like the blood he loved to sacrifice. He didn't understand why he was even talking to her.

Her breath was suddenly heavy. She was unable to hold back her fear. "I see." she looked down and raised her hands above her head. "So that's why you're here..." her facial expression changed from calm to irritated. "I won't let you hurt anyone." Meliodas was hit by a huge circle of light which threw him away.

"Brother!" Zeldris roared from a distance and immidiately decided to attack the Goddess who tried to inhibit their plans.

"Stupid girl.. thinking it's a good idea to talk shit to a Ten Commandments' leader." Zeldris used his magic ability to make the Goddess fell on her knees. She let out a sigh of pain, white fringe covering her face.

"I don't want to hurt you." the girl stated while protecting from Zeldris' attacks. "I'm here to bless the people who live in this village. I don't mean to fight you." she looked like she couldn't even kill a bug but in Zeldris' eyes she was just an adversary.

Zeldris didn't really pay any attention to her words. He just kept on attacking and after a while she fell unconscious. The blood was flowing from a wound on her forehead and she layed there, helpless.

"Everything here can kill you but I can do it most efficiently." She heard a familiar malevolent voice and loud steps getting closer and closer. "I was fair enough to let you leave but you chose to die." His voice was full hatred.

"If you desire to murder me, do it. But don't hurt the innocent." she slightly opened her eyes so she could see him. He was standing there, the gentle wind ruffling his wild hair, looking like a monster but still, he didn't move a bit. "Please, I'm begging you." she whispered.

"Brother, what are you waiting for?" Zeldris asked with frustration. "Kill her finally so we can leave."

Meliodas was confused. He just stood there and watched her spent body laying on the ground. She had long white hair and a cute fringe. Her angelic face, her big blue eyes.. She had gorgeous wings just like creatures from the Goddess clan. And her body... he didn't want to admit that she looked somehow... beautiful. Besides that, she didn't even know who Meliodas was. If she knew, she would immediately run, that's for sure. He liked the fear everybody felt when seeing him but it was nice being unknown for once. Deep down in him he wasn't longing to kill her.

Zeldris took out the knife what caught Meliodas' attention. "You'd better put that thing down." he warned. "She will never become a threat. And once we eliminate the Goddess clan, she'll die anyway."

With that, the demon brothers finally flew away leaving the terrified Goddess alone.
