A/N; I finally had the guts to publish a story on this site. Yeah me; My very first story ever will feature my favorite pairing Natsu/Erza.
I apologize for any grammar and/or spelling errors and any oocness of the characters. I will try my best to keep them all in character. I am open for feedback and any ideas but please be kind.
Yes. Make it go away. Make it all go away. The pain. The fear. The memories. My past. My present and take my future.
I want it to stop. She could feel her magic leaving her. She felt that she was barely clinging to life and Erza couldn't help but feel relieved.
She could finally stop pretending. She could finally stop hiding. She could finally stop running away from...
It was amusing that the one that initially started all her pain would be the one to end it all. Hmmm it was weird.
She wasn't afraid. She wasn't angry. Nor was she sad. She felt oddly at ease and almost happy. It felt good for all it to stop.
Her entire life had been nothing else but a rollercoaster of suffering, pain and betrayal. Betrayal. That one always and always came back didn't it?
She had always wondered what she had done to deserve to go through the hell of being a slave. Of being betrayed by someone she cared about. Why he had to go and try to sacrifice her.
And now she finally knew. Maybe. No not maybe that man was right. If she had never existed in the first place; He wouldn't have killed them.
That would have meant that she had never become a slave and would never push Jellal to save her. He wouldn't have been possessed and wouldn't try to revive a dark mage.
That would mean that Simon wouldn't have died...She really was the cause of a lot of pain wasn't she?
Someone like her. Someone who was too weak to life with her memories. Someone who always cried and hide behind others. Someone who protected herself by cladding herself in armor.
Really didn't deserve to life. Someone who pretended to be stronger than she really was...Ah I am indeed a very pathetic person.
Admitting this only when you are one the verge of death. Hmmm. Your daughter is really a stupid little girl.
Forgive me for not becoming the woman you had wished me to be. I am nowhere near mom. And I am defiantly not you.
Hmmmm...It is almost done. I can hardly feel the chains. Nor do I feel my strength vanishing. I do feel cold though.
And tired. Yes I am tired. I can go to sleep right? And when I wake up all of this...Everything will be gone.
"Erza!"
Hmm? Who...Is that?
"Erza!"
That voice. It sounds so familiar. I know...Him? Yes it is a him. But who...
"Erza!"
Loud. He is so loud. Why is he so loud. Please be quite. I am tired.
"Erza!.." The voice was filled with an emotion she couldn't really place, "You promised. You promised damned. You would never do something like that again"
Natsu? That is Natsu. What are you...
Forcing herself to open her eyes Erza pushed her head up and faced the entrance of the Temple; Spotting a rose haired young man.
Natsu? It was him. Why? Why did he come? He can't win...No matter how strong he is he can't...So why?
He looked enraged. If the inferno of flames surrounding him wasn't any indication than the murderous intent in his eyes would have given him away.
"Natsu?" She hardly had energy to speak let alone move but still Erza forced herself up the chains holding her against the wall protesting against the sudden move, "What..." Her eyes widened when she spotted the group appearing behind him, "Lucy? Gray? Wendy?"
No. No. He would kill them. She...Please go back. Go home. Stay out of this.
Natsu stepped towards her but a black haired man blocked his way, "Not another step. Dragon slayer. This has nothing to do with you"
He shouldn't have said that. Natsu released something what one could only categorize as a growl before he slammed the one blocking his path away. Sending the poor man flying before he crashed in to the wall on the other side of the room.
He landed a hit? While he had trouble fighting him when they first attacked them.
"Nothing to do with me? With us? Erza is a fairy Tail Mage. She is our friend. She is family" Clenching his fists Natsu faced the man seated on the altar, "This has everything to do with us"
The dark haired man laughed coldly, "I have to hand it to you Dragon Slayer; I never thought you would survive the Labyrinth" Tilting his head the young man faced the various mages that decided to thwart his plans, "But I am sorry to say that you are too late; My little sister here is at deaths door"
Erza was glad that she could see them before she drew her last breath, "Love..."
Her soft whisper drew the attention to her stopping Natsu in his attack, "Erza?" Something very close to fear was edged in his voice.
"Love...I...I really Love Fairy Tail" Erza whispered softly a smile gracing her face; It was the brightest and softest smile anyone had ever seen her make. It was filled with so much warmth and love that one wondered how she managed to pull it off, "Thank you...Everyone...I really felt-.."
Her brown eyes welled with tears and for once she didn't care that they could see her crying, "-Loved...I am so glad I could meet everyone" She laughed softly hardly having the energy to keep talking or keep eyes open for that matter but she kept her smile, "Thank you...Really...Thank you...I was...Am Happy" Sighing Erza felt her eyes drop and the last bit of her strength leave her, "Thank you...Thank you Fairy Tail...Thank..Yo..."
"Erza? Erza? Erzaaaaaaa!"
Gomen. Please forgive me Natsu...But I am happy...I am glad to be able to say that have known you all.
This is nice. No pain...No cold...Nothing...This...Is...The end? Fitting right? Just perfect...Right dad?...That where her last thoughts before Erza allowed the darkness take over...
A/N; Well that wasn't as hard as I thought it would be; so me is very glad. Anyway if you all like it I will post the second chapter as soon as possible. The next chapter will be the beginning I ill be working my way towards the prologue. Please review as I am open for feedback and anyother tips. Thank you.
