Chapter 1: Reunion
"For you a thousand times over"
She squinted her eyes desperately trying to get a better view of source of the voice. They were both surrounded in a blindingly white light. All she could make out of his features were his ultramarine hair, his wide smile and the red tattoo on his right cheek. He turned his back, walking away from her – her surroundings became dark, it was as if he was taking the light with him.
She parted her lips, she wanted to call out to him, to shout his name, but her voice failed her, no sound would come out of her tiny lips. Hot tears started to run down her face, as she watched his form slowly fade into the darkness.
Erza's eyes shot wide open, blinking her eyes, adjusting it to the darkness that was currently engulfing her room. She sighed.
"That dream again…" she whispered to herself, breathing rhythmically to calm down her heart, which was currently beating haywire. "It's a dream Erza… calm down." She wiped the sweat off her face. Her scarlet tresses clinging to her sweat soaked body. She grunted in disgust, as she carefully peeled away her tank top, discarding it on the bottom of her bed, glaring at the glowing green numbers beside her bed in the process. 4 fucking AM. She cursed in her head, in a few hours the first day of her Senior year in high school is going to start, and here she was unable to sleep. She sighed for the umpteenth time as she made her way towards her window, clad only in her undergarments.
She leaned her head on her hand, as she watched the city streets below her. The streets were practically empty, save from a few cars. She shifted her gaze and absentmindedly stared at a huge poster of his face plastered in one of the buildings in front of her room, musing about the dream that has rendered her sleepless for the past three nights.
"Jellal" she whispered his name, savoring how it sounded so damn right after all these years.
wwwwwww
Jellal slowly turned the keys of his car, resting his hands at the wheel for a moment as he watched the students leisurely passing by. He sighed, and grabbed a few papers from his brown satchel bag sitting beside him. Written on the upper center of the paper in bold letters was 'Fairy Tail High', the name of the third school he'd be enrolled in, in his entire high school life. He grimaced.
"School" He said the word with venom, as if it was the name of his arch nemesis. He didn't really care about school, if it wasn't for his parents he would just opt to allot all of his time on his modeling career. He sighed as he pushed the papers back inside his bag, carefully opening the door of his car.
He got off his car, and pressed the button on his key, earning him a beeping sound. He slowly made his way towards the gates of the school. He walked gracefully, back straight and his head, held up high. Each stride was filled with power, and pride. He smirked as he noticed girls slowly crowding him, some were staring at him in awe, while some were taking pictures of him.
"Siegrain – sama!" They screamed his name. He waved and smiled warmly at them, ignoring the jealous glares he received from the men around him. He grinned inwardly, high school girls in short skirts yelling his name desperately suddenly seemed appetizing. He thanked the gods that Fairy tail high was a co-ed school, maybe this time high school would be a lot more interesting.
wwwwwww
"By the way Erza…" Makarov, Fairy Tail High's principal peered at the young lady before him.
Erza, who was just preparing to leave spun around and stared questioningly at the small principal, who seemed like he was being swallowed by his huge black leather chair. "Yes?" she inquired.
"There's a new senior student enrolled this year" Makarov cleared his throat. "It seems that he's a celebrity amongst young girls, and so I would like you to personally welcome him, and make sure that he will not be troubled by anyone."
The scarlet haired girl nodded, "I understand, you don't have to worry about anything Master" she smiled at him confidently. She adjusted her eyeglasses on her face, and walked towards the door.
"Thanks Erza" Makarov sighed in relief, Erza Scarlet, Fairy Tails' one and only student council president will never let him down.
wwwwwww
"ERZAAA~!" a blonde haired girl ran excitedly towards the principal's office. Her pigtailed hair bobbing up and down as she ran, with a huge smile plastered on her face.
Erza gently closed the door to the principal's office, and smiled at her blonde haired friend. "Hey Lucy" She stuck out her arms as they hugged.
"Have you heard?" Lucy beamed at Erza, her eyes sparkling in exhilaration, "a famous celebrity has transferred to Fairy high!" She squealed in delight, gaining a few stares from the students around them.
The red haired chuckled at her friend, Lucy loved celebrities, she was always up-to-date with the latest gossip involving actors, models and other performers. She tucked a few strands of her scarlet tresses behind her ears. "Yes, Master asked me to assist our new celebrity student, do you know who he or she is?"
Lucy brought her arms up, and made an x with her fingers. "No! Not at all! But, you have to take me with you! Let's tour him or her around the school together!" she pleaded, her hands now in a praying position.
Erza sighed at her friend's overloaded enthusiasm. "Alright, Alright. Let's go to room 3-B, that's where the new student's first class is" she said, as they made their way towards the room.
"Oh my! How lucky! That's our first class too Erza!" Lucy chimed happily, this was going to be an awesome year.
wwwww
Jellal stood outside of the room which seems to be where his first class would be. The doors were close, but he could already hear shouts, people laughing and sounds of something breaking. His hands were just about to open the door when he heard a loud sound behind the door.
*CRACK* THUMP* CRACK*
His eyebrows knitted together as he heard curses, and other disturbing sounds. Was there a fight going on inside? Maybe it would be best to wait for the teacher. He thought, and shifted his attention towards a white paper taped beside the door. He went near it, his head inching forward, reading the contents of the paper.
"Alberona Cana… ahh the student list" he whispered to himself, as he continued to read the names of his classmates. After a few seconds, Jellal's felt his jaw drop. There it was, her lovely name, printed on the pristine white paper.
"Erza Scarlet" he said, barely a whisper, he felt himself choke. FUCK. He cursed in his thoughts. Just before he could run, and withdraw his enrollment, he heard footsteps approaching him.
"…and then you know what he did, Erza?" his mind blanked out for a second as he heard a high pitched voice saying her name. Erza, Erza, ERZA, her name echoing mercilessly and repeatedly inside his head. He heard the footsteps stop just a few inches away from him. He gulped, and turned his gaze towards the source of the high pitched voice. There she was, standing right in front of him, all grown up. He eyed her, taking in every detail. Her hair, no longer shoulder length, her eyes still brown and warm, and her – her body, much to his delight, was full. He mentally berated himself, as he gazed at her perfect bossom, and her very womanly body.
Lucy felt the temperature around her drop, she stared back and forth at the two people before her. Both were intently staring at each other.
Erza stiffened as she saw him. She stared at him, taking in the familiar sight of his ultramarine hair, and his red tattoo. "Jellal…" she croaked his name, her heart beating fast. She took a step forward, slowly closing the distance between them. "…is that you?" her voice was soft, but she knew he heard it.
"Erza?" Lucy gently touched Erza's hand, her voice snapping Jellal out of his thoughts, allowing him to compose himself while the red haired girl still stared at him.
"I'm sorry miss… It seems that you have made a mistake, my name is Seigrain, not Jellal" He said confidently, mustering all the power that he could to make it believable.
She looked at him in confusion, her brows knit together, her eyes boring into his, seemingly looking for answers.
He offered her a smile, and he stretched his hand, she stared at his hand and cautiously shook it.
"I—I apologize for that" she said, her powerful voice that seemed tinted with sadness reverberated in his ears. "My name is Erza Scarlet, I am the student council president, Master Makarov asked me to assist you in your needs." She smiled awkwardly at him, "This is my good friend, Lucy"
Lucy smiled widely at Siegrain, she couldn't believe it! The hot, model Siegrain is going to be her classmate for an entire year. She shook his hands happily, forgetting about the awkward moment that had just ensued. "Well, we should probably go inside now" Lucy said gleefully, slowly opening the classroom doors.
"Goo-" Lucy's cheerful greeting was cut-off as a dark haired man was sent flying her way. She and the dark haired man smashed against the wall just outside the door, causing them both to be unconscious.
The entire classroom became eerily silent, as they saw who was standing outside the door.
A pink haired man grinned nervously, at the scarlet haired girl "E—Er…. Good Morning Err—zaa" He stuttered, as he felt a dark, dangerous aura emitting from the said girl.
Jellal stared in disbelief, a few steps away from him two students were unconscious, and beside him Erza was, was – she was turning into a demon. WHAT IS THIS SCHOOL? He thought, he then felt himself shudder as he heard her voice.
"Natsu" She spoke, her words laced with malice, as she took off her jacket, and cracked her knuckles.
Natsu, the pink haired boy tried to make a dash from her, but her quick hands caught his white scarf. Jellal raised a brow at this, a scarf?
"please—please don't kill me!" Natsu pleaded, desperately. Jellal watched, his eyes turning as big as saucers as he watched the president beat a man's ass. Scarlet Demon. He thought to himself as he watched her, her hair swaying with every movement that she was making.
Erza stretched her arms, and cracked her knuckles. She smirked as she eyed the unconscious rosette beneath her. "You" She pointed her finger at a tall man with unruly black hair, and piercings. Jellal followed her finger, and eyed her cautiously, how could she boss around someone who looked so intimidating. "Gajeel, take them to the infirmary" she said calmly, as she gracefully walked away from the unconscious Natsu.
Gajeel groaned, but complied. He carried, Natsu, and the two unconscious students outside their room.
Once Gajeel was out of sight, Erza smiled at her classmates. "Hello everyone, we have a new addition to our family this year"
Jellal winced at the word, Family. He thought bitterly. Erza smiled at him, and motioned for him to enter the room.
He entered the room coolly, walking as if he owned the classroom. "I'm Siegrain, you can call me Sieg. It's a pleasure to meet you" He bowed slightly, smirking as he heard the women squeal.
