Hey everyone, I'm back! I know I said my next Fanfiction would be a multi-chapter story, but I just haven't had the motivation to start it. I had this idea a couple of days ago, and have finally gotten around to writing it. Just a warning, this will be somewhat sad compared to my others.
Erza silently entered Master Makarov's office.
"You wished to see me Master?" Erza asked.
"Yes, I received this letter this morning." Makarov responded, handing the evenly folded letter to the red-haired mage.
As Erza began to read the letter, tears started to form in her eyes. No longer able to read the letter, she fell to her knees, dropping the letter on the ground.
"M-Master, do I have permission to leave?" Erza stuttered.
"Yes, you may, I'm very sorry Erza."
As soon she was dismissed, Erza ran out of Makarov's office, straight through the guild hall, and out the door.
When Erza had left, Mirajane, who was very concerned about her friend, asked, "What happened?"
As if on cue, the guild master walked out of his is office and explained the situation to everyone.
"Jellal pasted away a couple of days ago. I received a letter this morning, which asked to pass the message on to Erza." Makarov explained.
"WHAT?!" Screamed all the wizards that were currently in the guild hall.
"Poor Erza…" Whispered Lucy.
A week had passed, and Erza still hadn't come back to the guild. The girls at Fairy Hills said that she was still in her room, but didn't want to enter, as they would most probably provoke the upset, potentially dangerous red-head.
Suddenly, the guild hall doors creaked open, as Erza walked through the centre of the guild, heading straight towards the bar.
"H-hi Erza, what can I get you?" Asked Mirajane, noticing the very visibly bags under the Titania's eyes. She had obviously been crying.
"A strawberry cheesecake please." Erza responded calmly. Even though she was still broken on the inside, she was rather good at keeping a straight face in front of her guild mates.
"One cheesecake coming right up!"
Once she had eaten all of her cake, Erza got up, heading towards the request board. Picking out a request, she headed towards the exit.
"Tell the Master I'll be back in about a week." Erza called out before heading out the door, leaving a dumbfounded guild behind her.
"Well she didn't stay very long," Macao stated.
"She didn't even bring us with her!" Natsu whined.
Gray, looking up from his drink, started thinking about the behaviour of the requip mage.
"It's just like when she first came to the guild."
Ooohhh, what will Gray do to help Erza? Read the next chapter to find out!
