Happy Halloween everyone! So this is something I've had waiting for you all for such a long time so I really hope you like it. This is just an introduction chapter so you could get the basic idea of the story... maybe. I'm not sure. Anyway, this will sort of be like Fatal Darkness, I'll upload it at random when I complete the chapters. So I hope everyone enjoys it and Happy Halloween :D

It was just the typical Halloween costume party with everyone happy to be inside near the fireplace, since the air had quickly turned cold earlier in the day. Everyone was enjoying the idle chit chat amongst friends and participating in the numerous party game; carving pumpkins, bobbing for apples, typical halloween party games. A tall scarlet haired woman stood amongst her group of friends with a glass of wine in her hand. She laughed, and smiled and she occasionally shared her own thoughts and opinions on the many different subjects she and her friends spoke about.

"Erza," came a deep voice from behind her.

The scarlet haired woman turned to see none other than her boyfriend. She smiled at him but his expression bore the same somber look.

"Can we talk for a moment?" He asked her, nudging his head towards the other room where the two could have a bit of privacy.

"Oh, sure Simon." She still held her smile on her face. The woman looked at her friends, "pardon me for a moment. I'll be right back."

Her friends nodded. She took a sip of her wine and followed Simon into a small office. He shut the door behind the two. The man let out a sigh and looked down at his feet, "Erza." His tone was so sad, one that Erza didn't like the sound of.

"Is everything alright?" She asked him worriedly. She grabbed one of his hands in her own and tried to look at his face. He refused, turning his head further away from her every time her eyes drew closer and closer to his own.

"No. It isn't." He spoke bluntly, still refusing to look at her.

"What's going on Simon?" She released his hand from her grip and started at him with worry in her eyes.

He didn't answer her. He simply continued to stare in the opposite direction. A small sigh escaped his lips.

"Simon...?" Erza held back tears that began to form in her eyes. "Simon what's going on?"

"This..." He finally glanced at her. "You and I, Erza. We aren't working out."

"Simon..."

"I'm so sorry Erza but we never seem to see each other anymore and that's killing me." He could see the tears rolling down her cheeks, "I don't want you to be upset Erza. Please. Please don't cry."

"I have to go." The redhead tried to make it seem like she wasn't crying but it was obvious that she was. She kept her face down towards the ground and walked right past him, exiting the office.

"Erza! Erza please listen to me!" He called after her. It was obvious that she didn't want to listen to anything else that he had to say.

Her friends looked at her with worry in each of their eyes. When the redhead continued to walk right past them without stopping, that's when they knew something was wrong, truly wrong.

"Hey Erza are you okay?" Gray asked as he kept a good pace following behind her.

"I'm fine Gray, I just want to go home. Please leave me be." That's all she said to him. She grabbed her coat and continued out the door without saying a single word to anyone, not even a goodbye. Gray stopped walking when she shut the door in his face.

"What happened?" Lucy questioned as she joined the raven haired boy by the door, handing him a glass of punch.

"I really have no idea." Gray responded as he looked over his shoulder towards Simon. The taller man himself also seemed rather upset. "I'll go find out." Gray walked right past the blonde and over towards the man who would give him the answer to his question. "What'd you say to Erza that made her so upset?"

Simon didn't looked Gray in the eyes. He kept his eyes fixed on his boots, "well I told her that we weren't working out as a couple so I-"

Gray cut him off, "that explains it." And with that, he walked back towards the blonde and her pink haired boyfriend. He knew that Erza was going to be a complete wreck for the next few days and he also knew that tonight he would leave her alone because that's what she needed. She needed to be alone with her own thoughts. Tomorrow he would visit her, give her a shoulder to cry on and someone to talk to, but as for tonight, he knew that she would want to be left alone.

With tears rolling down her cheeks the redhead drove through the rain. All she wanted to do was to get back to her own apartment to be left alone. Simon's words had hurt her deeply and she knew that the man understood that he had hurt her emotionally. She knew that this was one of the risks one took when dating a friend, or anyone for that matter. She wasn't sure how long it would take for her heart to heal, and she wasn't sure if she could remains Simon's friend in fear of more heartbreak by just looking at him whenever he would be in her presence. For some reason though, this breakup hurt more than she was physically expecting it to. She felt crushed and destroyed inside when she knew that she shouldn't. Was it because she had gotten so attached to being with him? It could be any of the hundreds of possibilities that she had racing around in her mind. Although she just wanted to be left alone tonight, she knew that once Gray, Natsu, and Lucy found out about this situation they would be standing at her door tomorrow to comfort her and help her move on with her life. That's what they did: they were always there when someone in their group needed someone. What broke her from her thoughts was the loud banging coming from under the hood of her car. The machine began to slow down until it stalled. The redhead sighed. "Just perfect." She took her keys from the ignition and locked her doors as she exited the vehicle. Looking around, there wasn't any other car in site. She sighed. The rain feel harder and harder from the sky and the winds grew colder. A crack of lightning lit up the sky around her, revealing to the redhead an old manor that sat up on a hill. As she looked down at her phone she sighed and angrily threw it back into her purse before seeing the manor as her final option to find some help. "Maybe they have a phone I can use." She held up the hood on her jacket and made her way towards the old iron gate. With a gentle push, the gate opened and the redhead made her way up towards the old house, unaware of the situation she was about to put herself into.

So you've learned two things thus far:

1) Erza and Simon broke up.
2) Erza's going up to the creepy manor on the hill.
