(Flashback)
"My name is Wally Buchanan"
"That'll be too hard to remember." Jellal laughed. "I'll forget it easily."
"What's your name?" Wally asked Erza
"I am Erza. Just plain Erza." She replied.
"Just Erza...? That's kind of sad." Jellal said looking at her sadly.
He walked up to her and held a few strands of her hair.
"Your hair." He said.
"Huh? What about it?" Erza asked curiously.
"It's the color Scarlet. It's beautiful!" Jellal said admiring her scarlet colored hair.
"T-thanks." Erza replied.
"Scarlet." Jellal said. "Scarlet will be your last name." He smiled.
"H-huh?" Erza said.
"Scarlet. It's the color of your hair. That way, I'll never forget it!" Jellal laughed.
(Flashback end)
"Mm..." Erza said.
She sat up and noticed that she was in the Fairy Hills, Female dormitory.
So I was asleep huh...?
Erza then fell back down onto her bed trying to go back into her dream. But she couldn't. She was wi-ide awake now.
She sat back up, thinking about what to do.
Hmm, I'm in the mood for some strawberry cake.
She went to her closet to get her armor. She took it out and tried to put it on the old fashioned way, without magic.
"Ugh... this is too hard." Erza complained to herself.
"Requip!" Erza shouted. "Much better." Erza smiled, after she was in her armor.
Erza walked to the windows and tugged aside the curtains, she pushed open the windows and breathed in the fresh air, taking in the peace. She listened to the birds chirp and felt the warm sun shine in on her through the windows.
Where are you Jellal?
She then turned towards the exit and left to her guild. It didn't take very long for her to get to the guild. It was pretty close to the dormitory.
She walked through the giant guilds doorway and walked through.
She saw people drinking, laughing, fighting each other happily.
'Just another day in Fairy Tail.' Erza smiled to herself.
But, some of the things got on her nerves.
"Cana, stop drinking like that." Erza commanded.
Cana immediately stopped. Erza never understood how Cana's body could bear that much alcohol in her body. She sighed and turned to Natsu and Gray fighting, again.
"Natsu, Gray are you fighting?" Erza asked pretending to not know.
Natsu and Gray immediately froze and they whipped their arms around each other doing a weird dance while saying in unison, "N-No Erza! We're best friends!"
Erza sighed and walked towards Lucy. She was one of the normal ones in Fairy Tail.
"Morning, Erza!" Lucy said happily.
"Morning Lucy. How'd you sleep?" She asked.
Suddenly Lucy's face fell.
"Terrible," Lucy groaned. "I kept thinking about how I'm going to be able to pay my rent." Lucy sighed miserably.
Erza slapped Lucy's back playfully.
"Don't worry Lucy, I'll go find a job for you!" Erza said.
"O-ouch. Thanks Erza!" Lucy smiled, obviously in pain.
Lucy sighed and rubbed her back some more.
Erza walked over to the request board and glanced at each of them.
"Hmm..." Erza said.
Erza took a job that seemed pretty easy and paid a lot.
She walked over to Lucy again and showed her the flyer.
Request: Protect the princess from burglars, mages and etc.
Reward: 950,000J
Lucy smiled at Erza and said, "Thanks Erza! This should be pretty easy."
"Anything for a friend." Erza smiled back, and slapped Lucy's back again, playfully.
"O-ow." Lucy says while rubbing her back in pain, again.
"Yo, Lucy, Erza!" Natsu calls out while walking over. "What's that?" He asks curiously.
"A job," Lucy replies. "Want to come with us?"
"Hell yeah!" Natsu shouts. "Only if there's fighting."
"Mm, maybe there will be." Lucy tells him. "But it'll definitely include the train." She finished.
Natsu's cheeks then puffed out, trying not to throw up. Even the thought of transportation made him want to puke.
Erza laughed along with Lucy enjoying his pain and dislike for transportation.
"We'll leave this afternoon." Erza said. "Go pack your things."
Lucy and Natsu nod their heads.
"And Lucy, get Gray and Wendy, okay?" Erza asked.
"Will do Erza!" Lucy replied.
She left towards the exit of the guild and began walking towards the female dormitory of Fairy Tail.
Thoughts of her dream came back to her.
She stood on top of the hill, turned around and faced the peaceful view of the city. She had a feeling that she'd be gone for a while. Erza sighed and then walked back to her dorm.
In her dorm, Erza tried to pick what she wanted to bring most with her. That was impossible. It was like choosing how many cakes she must eat. She just couldn't, she had to take all! The problem was... that everything was too heavy for her. Luckily, she still had her trusty wagon in the back of the room. She lifted half of the pile up and plopped it onto the wagon. She took the last half of the pile and stacked it all neatly together so everything wouldn't topple over. She stood back and grunted in satisfaction. After a few more seconds of admiring how neatly she put everything together she grabbed the handle and dragged the heavy wagon towards the train station to meet the group there. As she approached them, she saw Natsu doubled over in pain even though they weren't even on the train. She glanced at Lucy's concerned but sadistic grin. Erza smiled and thought, "How cute. I approve!"
As she drew closer she heard Natsu complaining, Happy offering Charle fish, her declining, Lucy laughing, Gray scolding Natsu for being so weak, and Wendy fretting over him. Erza chuckled to herself. Wendy was the first to notice Erza standing there.
"Ah! Erza-San!" She called to her.
Erza nodded her head once, smiling and continued walking towards her.
By the time she reached them they already needed to board the train.
"Wh-hhh-yy." Natsu groaned his upper half of the body slumping over Lucy's legs. Lucy laughed and pet Natsu's pink spiky hair.
Erza lowered her head and tried to sleep. Her consciousness then drifted into a dream...
(Dream/Flashback)
"Okay! Who did it?!" One of the evil magicians exclaimed. "Who came up with that escape plan!"
No one answered.
In the background young Erza could hear Sho's teeth chattering and his body shivering in fear. Tears streamed down his face.
"Well? Which one of you thought of it? Confess now and the consequences will be much less. And since we're so kind, we'll only take one of you instead of all of you!" The first magician stated.
Erza didn't want any of them to take her friends away. She began to stand up to say that she did it but,
"I did it." Jellal said.
She began to shake with fear.
"I did it, take me away don't hurt them."
The man began to laugh, Jellal stared at him in confusion.
"Do you think I'm a fool boy? You wouldn't have been smart enough to think of a plan like that!"
"I really did it! Please take me away!" Jellal lied.
"No, I knew who did it!"
The man stuck his pointer finger out and it was pointing in the direction of Sho until he moved it and was pointing at Erza.
"You!"
"I-I d-did i-i-t-t," Erza stuttered barely a whisper. Then she stood up straighter and said louder, "I did it!"
"I knew it!" The man laughed "Take her away!"
A guard grabbed Erza by the waist and flung him over his shoulder and began to walk out.
"Erza no!" Jellal called out.
Jellal started to run towards her but the man stopped him.
"Don't worry, we'll only kill her a little bit." He laughed sadistically.
"Erza!" He shouted.
Erza looked up sadly and said, "Don't worry Jellal. I'll be back. You told me I'd be okay!"
She smiled at him sadly as the men walked out the doors. The door was slammed shut leaving a dramatic echo of the sound.
"Wh-What're you going to do to me?" Erza asked afraid.
The man put the chains on Erza's arms and said, "Oh, nothing much. This will hurt a lot, brace yourself!"
The man then walked over to the machine and pressed a green button: Start.
The shackles on her arms began to glow with a blinding light, beginning to burn her. The red light began to sap her energy from her body. She felt extreme pain. It was like she stood in the middle of a wild fire and thorns piercing her skin at the same time while she was stepping on both nails and hot coals. She screamed. She could hear the men around her telling her to shut up. The Mage kept hitting her with a whip decorated with thorns.
As the pain grew more intense, she screamed louder and louder. It seemed like hours of painful torture. Fortunately it stopped.
"Please! Stop!" Erza exclaimed. Blood fell from her cuts, bruises caused her skin to turn an ugly color of purple and blue. She could only open her left eye.
"Oh shut up, this is where you'll feel the pain." The man grinned sadistically as he held a knife out. He directed the tip of the knife to her right eye, he moved back a bit then with the knife directed at her right eye he sta-
(Dream/Flashback end)
"Erza-aaa-aa!" Someone shouted while shaking her.
Erza's eyes snapped open and punched the man in front of her.
"O-ow!" Natsu said as Erza began to realize that she wasn't dreaming anymore.
"Wh-what happened?" She asked confused.
"We're here." Natsu replied while rubbing his bruised cheek.
"What place is this exactly, again?" She asked Wendy.
In the background, she could hear Gray laughing at Natsu and Happy munching on his fish.
"Onibus station, more specifically: Onibus town." She replied.
Lucy and Charle looked at Wendy impressed.
Everyone gathered their things and began to walk off the train.
Her thoughts were still on the dream that she had. She had lost the ability to see through her right eye, he stabbed her with the knife... into her right eye. She was so scared.. it was because of Makarov that she could see again.
That was the worst day of her entire life. Well... one of the worst. The worst was when she accidentally dropped her strawberry cake in the river. She shivered from the memory.
In about half an hour they arrived at the Koukyo mansion. Maids and servants were already there to greet them. When they reached the gate, they showed their guild marks to get in.
"Norio-Sama will see you in the study." One of the maids said.
Erza smiled and nodded. They walked through the garden and into the mansion. It was big, bigger than their guild or any of the places they went to. A huge chandelier hung on the ceiling casting a glow in the room that was just perfect. The windows were big and right outside was their garden. The couches were perfectly placed, the floors were so clean she could see her own reflection. The ceiling was high up, the room was twenty times bigger than Lucy's apartment, and this was only the welcome room! Everything was so beautiful that it took Erza's breath away.
She walked down the long hallway, there were many doors. The maid then knocked on the dark brown wooden door and said, "Norio-Sama?"
"It's open." A man replied from inside.
The maid stepped aside bowing and gestured for the group to enter.
Erza stepped forward and twisted the doorknob.
"Fairy Tail?"
They all nodded.
"Please sit." Norio-Sama said as he walked over to the couch from behind his work desk.
He sat on the armchair while the rest of them squeezed onto the couch.
"I assume you're here to ask about the job?"
Erza nodded.
"Norio-San, can you explain what and why we need to protect this 'princess' from anyone? Why not use regular guards?" Erza asked.
"Well, this 'princess' as you call it, is my daughter. Her name is Emiko, Emi for short. The reason I requested for a job from guilds is because some wizards are after my daughter. They want her hand for marriage, but I've already decided who she'll marry. She is to be taken to the next town by carriage to meet her fiancé. I want strong mages that will be able to protect her from any enemies."
"By carriage?" Natsu exclaimed. "Oh god why-yy-y!"
"You could always walk!" Gray suggested.
"Silence." Erza said.
They obeyed.
"Is there any magician in particular we should be watching out for?" She asked.
"Yes." He replied. "His name is-"
Someone knocked on the door.
"Yes, what is it?" He asked impatiently looking at the door.
The same maid walked in and said, "Sorry for the interruption Norio-Sama but the carriage and horses are ready."
"Is Emi ready?" He asked.
"Yes, she's in the carriage right now."
"Let's go then." He said while standing.
They walked out the main entrance and walked towards the carriage.
The driver sat where he'd control the reins and Natsu and Lucy say at the back of the carriage. Gray and Wendy will be inside with Emi, Charle and Happy. And last of all, she will be up front. She sat next to the man and the carriage began to move.
"Good luck." The maid said to Erza.
"Thank you." Erza smiled.
The woman was so familiar.. Erza kept staring at her until she turned away not wanting to look at Erza anymore.
"Wait, who was the magician we're supposed to look out for?!" Lucy called out as the carriage began to move.
The carriage was moving farther and faster.
"...Llal... ...Nan...es!" The man called back as loud as he could.
"Eh?" Lucy said.
None of them knew what he said but Erza did.
Her enemy and friend: Jellal Fernandes.
The man driving next to her chuckled. He wore a hat that shaded his eyes and face that way he wouldn't be seen. Erza stared at him suspiciously, and glanced at the blue strands of hair that escaped the grasp of his hat.
"You heard what he said?" The man asked with a terrible sounding southern accent.
"No." Erza lied.
"Oh." He replied.
She stared at the road in front of her and began to think.
Jellal...? Why would Jellal need the princess...? Why would he try to hurt Emiko-San? Who was that woman? And where is Jellal now...?
So many questions... So little answers.
