Erza Scarlet was at the Fairy Tail guild looking at the job quest board. She was going on a solo quest since Natsu had went on one with Lucy, Gray and Juvia went on a quest together, Wendy and Carla had left to increase Wendy's healing magic. Not wanting to be shown up by any of them Erza decided to go on a solo quest herself. She soon spotted an S class quest but it wasn't like a normal solo S class quest that she had seen before.
Job Request S-class solo.
Location: In the Labyrinth Manor, Land of Sin
Job details: Killer on the loose but lives in this manor!
Find and bring to the Magic Council!
Reward: Whatever the wizard wants.
Time: No Answer.
Erza wondered what the problem could be so far she picked up that this quest was mainly talking about a killer that was on the loose but they lived in the manor. Erza felt that it would a good challenge so then she left on the solo quest.
It took Erza about four days to get to the manor. She wasn't surprised to find the manor like how she pictured it to be but she surprised to see that it looked more like a castle. She went to the manor and was soon brought inside to meet the client. When they got to a large office room Erza looked at the client who was a middle aged business man.
"Well Ms. Scarlet I thank you for taking in my request on short notice."
"You're welcome, sir."
He smiled at her then gave her a map of the entire manor.
"This map is the original copy that was made of this manor, right now we are here."
"Alright."
"When it's daytime everything is calm here but when it night time you must be careful not to just roam in the hallways so freely."
Erza looked at him.
"Just how many wizards have taken this quest?"
"Both normal and dark wizards?"
"Yes?"
"9 all together and all the were from random dark guilds."
Erza was in shock then she nodded.
"Alright then. So if I do happen to meet and beat this killer I would have to take him back to the Magic Council?"
"Yes."
"Alright then. I accept this quest."
"Thank you so much, here's the key and good luck."
The man left, leaving Erza alone in the manor then Erza left out of the room and went to rest in a room because she was kind of tired from her journey to get here. When she got into the room Erza unpacked her things, or some of it which were her clothes. She got ready for bed and climbed into bed afterward. She couldn't but wonder what this killer even looked like so then she closed her eyes and went to sleep.
When it was Midnight Erza was woken up by a door that was opening up but she ignored it but then she heard footsteps coming towards her bed. She just thought that she was imagining things but then she felt something climb onto the bed. At any other time Erza would have just attacked whoever was there but she was too tired to do anything. She peeked at the mirror that was facing her and saw that there was no one there. She slightly frowned because she saw that the door was open and could see that that the bed looked like it was un even as if someone was sitting there so then she looked over her shoulder and saw a child facing her.
Erza reached over and turned on her lamp light and saw that there was nothing there. Erza wondered where the kid came from but she looked over and saw that the bedroom door was closed and saw that the bed was neat. She wondered how it was possible and put a hand on her head.
"What was that, just now?"
Erza then turned to go back to sleep but blinked in shock when she saw that all over her suitcases had been up packed and were neatly put into the closet. Erza was becoming a little nervous but she turned off her light and turned to go back to sleep.
She was ready to close her eyes but then she felt as if someone was looking at her again and turned her head to see the child figure sitting on her bed again but this time she looked behind her and saw that there were two other children looking at her.
Erza just stared at the three children as they stared back at her for the rest of the night.
The next morning Erza got out of bed and noticed that what she was looking at was not a dream. Her suitcases were empty but the children were nowhere to be seen. Erza got ready for the day and left to the kitchen to have breakfast.
When she got to the kitchen her eyes widen in shock when she saw a message written in blood on the wall.
Good morning, Erza
Erza was in shock and took a step back. She was well aware that she was alone, well kind of but she hasn't seen the killer themselves yet, so how did they know her name, in fact how did they know that she was even there.
'Maybe it was the children I saw, that could be a huge possibility.'
Erza looked over at a large table and her eyes nearly popped open out of her head when she saw a well made breakfast of many sorts on the table. She went to it and then smiled.
"For a killer they sure know how to make someone feel welcomed."
Erza sat down and took a bite out of the food. On the first bite Erza blushed as if she was eating the best cake in her life. She then smiled looking at the rest of the food that was just waiting for her to eat it. She smiled and dug right in.
'Maybe this quest won't be so bad, after all.'
