Slam! A scarlet warrior dashed out of the shaking building, the door crashing down behind her. Faster, she internally screamed, must be faster. Her heavy boots pounded on the gravel, arms pumping beside her. The warrior could feel what little clothing still hung on her body flap in the wind. She had been wearing a black sleeveless top with a skirt that reached about her mid-thigh and a pair of combat boots. Now all that adorned her body was the six inch strip that was left of her shirt wrapped tightly across her chest and the skirt was so shredded that it didn't cover anything. Her once flowing scarlet hair was now covered in ashes and oil and plastered to her back. A few red strands flow behind her.

Her lungs and legs are burning as if they were on fire. Breathing became more and more difficult, she needed to find a place to rest. But there was a danger behind her she would rather not face. Suddenly she felt her body falling forward. She hit the ground hard, now no air entered her lungs. She pushed herself up unto all fours. Glancing behind her she saw the reason she fell. A root was sticking slightly above the ground. She groaned when her body caught up to the pain caused by every scratch and cut that adorned her entire body.

"Erza, I know you are here. Come out, come out where ever you are," a deep voice called out, seemingly to the right. Crap, he sounded real close, too close. She crawled in to the left, hopefully in the opposite direction of the man. As much as Erza tried to be discrete about finding some place to hide, but alas she had fallen and there were dried leaves everywhere. "Oh Erza, I hear you. Stop trying to run, you know I'll find you."

This man was once in jail put there by Erza, but now he has escaped and been attempting murder. He has never missed the person he was trying to murder. He has onyx shaggy hair and cold black eyes. He wore a long overcoat, black with a fancy gold trim. His ebony eyes seemed to pierce through the darkness able to find the seventeen year old warrior. Zeref grinned. Despite the fact the bright red hair had been darkened, due to the fight inside the building, there was still scarlet visible. He was close enough to kill her, but he wanted to drag out the chase, you know, for effect.

"I see you, no need to try and escape." Erza jumped unto her aching feet and bolted to the river she had passed earlier and can now hear in the distance. Running in the forest in hard during the day, nighttime was just torture. Every few steps Erza stumbled but caught herself.

Every part of her body screamed for her to stop, to just find someplace to hide. She ignored her body's pain and pushed harder. Her heart almost stopped when she heard heavy breathing behind her. Again she fell, but this time it was downhill. She felt every twig, stone, and bump as she tumbled quickly to the bottom. She let out a high-pitched scream as there was no longer ground beneath her. She stayed in the air for what seemed like ages. Then the hard contact with the water finally did her in. When she felt the impact of the coursing river the pain was too much and she lost consciousness.

Zeref made it to the river's edge just as Erza hit the water. He instantly winced. Her body just flowed with the river, clearly because she was unconscious. His heart ached, he hated death. It was his orders to exterminate the intruder. At least now he didn't have to kill her with his two hands.

Mirajane walked by the river reminiscing of the times when she would take her younger sister here to throw rocks into the river.

"MIRA! HELP!" a voice behind her yelled. Quickly she turned around, some of her long white hair blew in her face from the gentle breeze. Her bright sapphire eyes scanned the beach before her eyes landed on the blonde running away from the pyro teen with pink hair. She laughed at the couple. Her match making skills brought so many cute couples together, or that's what she liked to believe.

Suddenly the blonde stopped and screamed pointing at something on the other side of the river. Mira ran to her side, Natsu stopped and looked in the direction Lucy was pointing frantically. She gasped at the sight. Red hair. A girl was on the other side, she looked to be about Mira's age, seventeen. Before anyone could speak Natsu jumped in the river. His khakis and black muscle shirt probably made him the best option to go across. I mean Lucy was in blue jeans and a pink crop top with matching pink converse, and Mira wore a pale purple sundress with white sandals.

It took much of Natsu's strength to get across the river. What he saw once he reached the other side was awful. A girl about sixteen or seventeen was lying unconscious but thankfully still breathing. She looked like she had been through a lot, there were multiple bruises and cuts all over. Cautiously Natsu turned her over revealing a topless chest, his face instantly turned a shade darker than the young woman's hair. He quickly rolled her back over, not caring for the injuries, and yelled to Mira.

"MIRA! THIS GIRL GOT BARELY ANY CLOTHES ON! GET SOME CLOTHES THEN GET OVER HERE! OH, AND BRING A FIRST AID KIT!" He yelled across the river to the two girls. They promptly ran back towards the jeep that was about half a mile back. Hopefully they return before she wakes up, Natsu internally prayed.

Luck wasn't quite on Natsu's side today, or really any other day but you get the picture, and after about ten minutes of the girls leaving he heard the girl stir beside him. He groaned aloud. Definitely NOT his day.

She slowly sat up and winced at the pain that seemed to be all over her body. She glanced down to find her makeshift top had fallen off. She groaned and shook her head, her hair fell around her shoulder effectively covering most of her naked chest. Her body was covered with dirt from the sandy beach, well it had some rocks. Dang, why is there still oil in my hair, Erza grunted. She started to observe her surroundings and her eyes landed on Natsu.

"Do I know you?" She asked and low shaky voice. Natsu gulped.

"Um, no? At least I don't think so…" Man, I really hope Mira and Lucy return quickly, he grumbled internally. The wounded girl tried standing up, but her legs gave out from under her. She hit the ground rather harshly, causing her to grunt.

They both heard a car on the other side of the river. The girl's eyes shot up to find two gorgeous teens 'bout her age. They each wore a bikini, the blonde had a gold one while the white haired on wore a black one. The white one had something clutched in her right hand. Without a second thought they jumped into the river, Erza gasped.

Natsu couldn't tear his eyes off his girlfriend. She was absolutely gorgeous in her gold bikini walking toward the edge of the river. Once she jumped in he heard a gasp from his left. His face contorted into confusion, then he remembered why he was on this side of the river and not with his girl. This strange girl didn't seem to mind she had what resembled a thong on and nothing else. Her scarlet hair was gorgeous. His gaze went to her brown eyes, full of hurt and pain. Man, what has she gone through.

Suddenly the girl shot up, and ran into the brush behind Natsu. At first he was so shocked he couldn't run, then he snapped out of it. He quickly caught her weakened form and grabbed her waist. She started screaming and kicking and hitting him. He was getting annoyed that she struggled so much. So he threw her over his shoulder and marched back to the river. Soon her hits stopped but he didn't put her down till they reached the bank. The two girls where there, and they were scowling. Natsu gulped and quickly put the red head down.

"Natsu please go to the car and get the back seat ready for this poor girl," Lucy sweetly told him. Natsu grumbled but jumped into the river for the torturous swim back.

"Hi," Mira started. "I'm Mira and this is Lucy, that boy is her boyfriend. His name is Natsu." Mira helped the girl up.

"Um, my name is Erza." Erza said quietly.

"Ohhhh! You are so cute!" Mira exclaimed. Erza sent a questioning look her way.

"Never mind her," Lucy stated. She handed Erza a bright blue bikini, "Here it's mine, I don't know if it'll fit but better than nothing right?" Erza nodded and gladly received the clothing. "Put on the clothes then come with us. We have first aid in the Jeep and a dress for you."

Erza quickly put on the bikini. Can I trust these people? I mean they seem nice but what if they are from Zeref? I guess I'll just have to be careful around them… Once she rejoined with the girls they all jumped into the river and started the journey across. Erza had more trouble than the two girls but she made it across just fine.

"Hey girls my brother just called and we need to head home. He's making us supper so if we book it the food will still be warm." Natsu stated once the girls had put on dresses. On cue Erza's stomach growled, she bowed her head in embarrassment. "Well we also must hurry to feed this chick," Natsu nonchalantly added causing Lucy to slap him.

"What's your brother's name, Natsu?" Erza asked trying to defer the conversation away from her. The two teens, Mira and Lucy, were applying first aid to her cuts. Erza winced a couple times but the alcohol didn't burn to badly, probably 'cause the river washed her body pretty well.

"Zeref."
