A smile crept slowly onto his face. A chilly breeze swirled around him from head to toe. Jellal could never recall a day like this. It was fall, and it was cloudy as always. However, today had such a wonderful chilly wind. It swept the leaves from the balcony floor and swirled them up into the air.
"Your Highness!" A servant called from the window below him.
"Mira! Wouldn't it have been more fitting if you had knocked on my door instead of hollering at me from that window? Be careful, you might fall out!" Jellal ran his hand through his messy blue hair.
The platinum beauty simply smiled from the window below. "Oh don't worry about me! Lucy, AH! I mean the Head Maid just wanted to let you know that she's going out to shop for toiletries and candles. Again!"
Jellal's eyes narrowed. "Is she going out alone, again~?" He snarled to the servant below.
Mira hesitated to answer. "Maybe! Maybe not!" With a giggle, Mira disappeared out of Jellal's sight.
Jellal let out a grumble, which was disguised with a sigh. "I've told that woman so many times not to do it alone. But noooooo~" He sighed and went to change into an outfit more suitable for the common public.
"Lucy, you know it's dangerous for you to care for me like this right?" A soft voice murmured from the comforts of a scarf. It was big, thick, and brown. She lifted it up to cover her mouth, and stop right at the nip of her nose.
"Erza. Don't worry about me. I know who you are. You're not what they say you are. Besides, I'm not sheltering you. All I'm doing is giving you is a chance to live a normal life." The blonde smiled at her worried friend.
"Thank you." She whispered. "Lucy."
Lucy smiled. "Don't you worry. While you're in this kingdom, I'll make sure nothing will harm you." She gave Erza a flitting glance before heading inside the shop.
Erza was left in the crisp cold to wait for Lucy to finish her shopping. They were missing everything but the candles. Erza loved candles, they were the light in the dark.
"He is like the light that extinguishes our darkness." A voice murmured to the small crowd of people.
"Ultear. That is enough. Thank you." Said a voice from the corner of the church.
The girl turned to face him. She nodded and dismissed the few that were gathered in the church that cold morning.
When they were all gone, the Father, Silver, spoke, "Ultear, have I not told you, your place is praying in the pews and reading the testament. God does not wish to have a female priest."
Ultear tensed the moment he spoke her name. "But~! He does wish to have his word preached through out the world! Am I not doing so? Isn't that what He favors? For that is what St. Mark the Apostle has told us."
Silver ran his hand through his hair. "Errrr…..haven't we argued about this enough, Ultear? Whenever I made the agreement with your mother; she said you would behave."
Ultear's eyes glazed over. "Haven't we talked about her enough?" She mimicked. With a sneer she turned around and walked away.
Silver watched as the figure of a girl the church had raised since the age of 7 stormed out of the church doors.
Jellal turned the corner, trying to avoid the commoners' stares. That Lucy! If she had just listened it wouldn't end up like this!"
He stopped at the only store he hadn't checked yet. The Candle maker's Shop.
He marched towards the shop, but he paused to stare at a mysterious figure. A girl stood near the doorway. A girl he had never seen before. He was positive he had never seen this girl before, because the color of her hair was unforgettable. Scarlet.
Jellal suddenly felt her brown eyes turn towards him. "I…."
Too fast. Too sudden. Too quickly, he watched her turn and try to walk away.
"Hey wait!" He called out. What did I do? What am I doing?
She kept on walking. Why is she so fast? Didn't I just tell her to stop? Doesn't she know who I am?
He hated using this line, this card. It made him sound like a brat. "Are you ignoring the Prince?"
To his satisfaction, she stopped walking and turned slightly to send him a glance. He lifted his head to meet her gaze, but he was startled at what he found. A mix of pure horror and fear sparkled in her eyes. What?
Before he could say anything, she bolted off. He reached out to grab her. But she was too fast.
Is he gone? She thought to herself as she ran. With a quick glance behind her she spotted bright blue hair. She had to sprint even faster.
Does he know who I am? She turned a corner, hoping to lose him. Footsteps padded heavily behind her. He's fast.
She stopped. There was nowhere to go except across the road. But there was a sea of people. At first she held doubt, but then she thought. No. The more people there are, the easier he can get lost.
She burst into the streets. Running in zigzags to avoid people. Running in zigzags to avoid him.
She's too fast! Thoughts raced through him as he followed the blood shot beauty through the crowd. Thank goodness she has scarlet hair.
He suddenly began to realize how many people were staring at him. He knew what they were thinking. What is the Prince doing here?
As the crowd began to part for him, he got a better view of the girl he was chasing after. Curvy. Tall. Scarlet.
He shook his head and began to run faster. Jellal reached out to grab her hand. Wait!
Instead of grabbing her hand, his hand had latched onto her brown scarf. The scarf gave away to reveal pale lips that were formed into an O from shock. I've got you.
His eyes smiled from watching her step back in defeat. But he wasn't the only one watching.
Lucy stood from the sides of the street, staring in horror. The Scarlet Witch had been caught.
Ultear's eyes widened. Jellal wasn't the only one who had caught her either.
