Erza Belserion woke up in her room and got dressed for the day. She was getting ready for school that was leveled as the best school in Fiore. She was an Honor student that had been admitted for the spring semester and hit it right off the bat. Personally Erza was very proud of herself but sometimes she thought about what she could do for a career.
After she was dressed and ready for school she went to the kitchen and smiled when she saw that she still had an hour to get to school That and today school was a half day today. Erza smiled and went to the kitchen to make herself breakfast.
As she was making herself breakfast she looked over into the hallway and smiled when she saw another pair of heeled boots next to her school shoes.
'Mother hasn't left yet.'
Erza went back into the kitchen and began to make her mother hot tea.
When she was finished she looked behind her to see her mother coming into the kitchen.
"Good morning, Mother."
"Good morning, Erza."
"I made you hot tea."
Her mother nodded then sat down at the table and looked at the newspaper. This wasn't new for Erza, her mother was a very busy woman and was hardly home.
After making breakfast and her mother's hot tea Erza went to the table and her mother took a sip of her hot tea.
Erza began to eat her breakfast then she felt that she should talk to her mother.
"I made it on the Honor Roll again, Mother."
Her mother didn't look at her but she did give reaction of humming. Erza lowered her head then her mother spoke.
"It would be a shock to me if you weren't."
Erza finished her breakfast and washed her dishes. After that she got her bag and was heading out the door.
"See you later, Mother."
"Erza."
Erza looked at her.
"Yes, Mother?"
"Did you forget that I am taking you to school today?"
Erza blinked. It was rare for her mother to drive her to school then she nervously smiled.
"Really? You would take me today?"
Her mother lowered her tea and had her eyes closed.
"So you did forget our little agreement."
Erza looked away.
"I didn't forget, I just didn't know that you were going to take me today."
Her mother stood up.
"Let's go."
They both went to the car and drove to Erza's school.
On the way there Erza looked at her mother.
"Is something wrong, Mother?"
"No. I just have a lot of meetings at my job in the next hour."
Erza gave a nervous smile.
"I'm sure you'll do great, you always do."
Her mother glanced at her then looked back at the road.
When they arrived to the school Erza got out of the car and looked at her mother.
"Thanks Mother. I'll see you later tonight."
With that Erza left the car and her mother watched as she went to a couple of other girls then they left to another part of the school. Her mother just drove away from the school.
As Erza was with her friends Lucy and Wendy they both looked at her.
"So Erza, was that your mother?"
Erza nodded.
"Yes it was. I didn't think she would bring me today."
Wendy blinked.
"Why not?"
Erza looked away.
"My mother is always busy with her work so we hardly see each other."
Lucy nodded as she understood the feeling.
"Your mother doesn't get mad at you if you ask her something, does she?"
Erza thought about it.
"It only happened once because I didn't know better at the time. Since my mother is hardly home I don't really have any reason to get yelled at by her.
Lucy tilted her head.
"Just who is your mother, Erza?"
Erza smiled.
"My mother is Eileen Belersion.
With Eileen
Erza's mother, was Eileen Belserion. Eileen was a rogue theorist worker that would be asked by government authority for help for serious things. Despite her age she was so many things that gave her a few titles. Eileen was a high ranked Geologist, an Archeologist, and a multi-surgeon.
She was an indeed a very busy woman. She was always on the go because as a rogue Theorist, she was always traveling. At one point she used to take Erza with her on her travels but now that Erza was older and was in high school she stopped. She never told Erza why and Erza never asked about anything.
Just then Eileen got a call and had her phone plugged into her then answered.
"Yes?"
"The boss wants to meet with you in 15 minutes. This meeting is rather important."
Eileen had a slight frown.
"I'll be there in time."
A few minutes later Eileen arrived to a large building and went inside for the important meeting.
When she got into the meeting room she sat on the first left of the man in charge, Zeref. On the opposite side of her was another man named August. In the meeting with them was Mard Geer, Kyouka and Hades.
Zeref was the boss of all of them but Eileen was the only member of the group that didn't within the building walls unless she was asked by him.
Zeref looked at everyone.
"I have gotten word from the government that there has been a change in weather so Eileen I want you to go to up north to see what is going on up there right away. While Eileen is gathering data I want the rest of you to calculate all of her results."
Zeref looked at Eileen.
"Your flight is in two hours."
Eileen nodded then the meeting was over.
Later on that morning Eileen was in her office that she stored her working supplies in.
'That means I have to be gone for a week, I'm sure Erza can handle herself.'
Just then there was a gentle knock at her door and Eileen spoke.
"Come in."
"Mother?"
Eileen looked up to see her daughter.
"Erza, what are you doing here?"
"It was a half day today and I thought it would be okay if I surprised you at work and wondered if we could have lunch together."
Eileen looked away.
"Well you got me on the surprised part."
Erza just looked at her.
"Is something wrong, Mother?"
Eileen looked at her then stood up.
"I have a job to do so I won't be home for the next two weeks."
Erza looked sad as she lowered her head.
"I see, I'm glad I came before you left."
Eileen was about to say something then Kyouka came.
"Eileen, the car is ready for you."
Eileen just looked at Erza then looked at Kyouka.
"Alright."
Kyouka left then Eileen went to Erza and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Assist me with these bags."
Erza nodded then they left out of the office.
When they got outside they put the suitcases into the car and Eileen went to the driver.
"I have a favor to ask."
"Yes Miss?."
"Once you drop me off at the airport take my daughter to wherever she wants to eat."
"But I."
She shoved money into his pocket and he looked away.
"Yes ma'am."
All three of them got into the car and drove away.
As they were on their way Eileen was looking at her laptop to getting it ready for her job. As she was doing so she noticed that Erza just looked out the window then Eileen spoke.
"Why did you visit me at my office, Erza?"
Erza didn't look at her.
"I hardly see you and you're always working. So I figured that if I wanted to see my own mother maybe going to the office would help."
Eileen closed her laptop as she closed her eyes.
"How foolish you are."
Erza looked at her then Eileen went on.
"I rarely go to the office for anything. The only times I go are for meetings and new job assignments."
Erza lowered her head then Eileen spoke.
"Since I won't be joining for lunch or dinner for the next couple of weeks, here you go."
Erza looked at her only to see mother handing her money then she looked away.
"I don't want your money."
"That wasn't a question."
Erza took the money then they arrived to the airport. Erza watched as her mother got her things and left. Not long after that the car drove off and the driver looked at Erza. He could clearly see what Erza was really feeling but what surprised him the most was that Erza didn't really get to say affectionate words like 'goodbye' or 'I love you' to her mother before she left.
"What's wrong child? Do you still love your mother?"
"Erza nodded.
"I do but I don't know how to tell her or even show her. Sometimes I'm not sure if she even loves me."
"Maybe she does but she is working on the go most of the time."
"I know."
That night erza laid on her bed and just thought hard to herself wondering if her mother really loved her.
Even with the slightest hope, she hoped her mother still did.
