Hello~ readers!
This story take place in Fiore, before the incident in The Tower Heaven happen.
Fairy Tail and every characters here belongs to Hiro Mashima and NOT me. I own nothing but the plot line, ONLY in this story.
Era, Magic Council meeting room.
One of the council members with a white beard and what looked like a bat on top of his head told the others.
"I got informations about the appearance of the dark guilds almost in every cities of Fiore. Not a strong ones, actually. But there's a lot. I'm sure that there's something really big behind this."
The room start to be all noisy as the council members being busy with their own arguments, until Gran Doma clear his throat and said, "Councillor Siegrain, you've been doing works about dark guilds recently. What do you think?"
The attention suddenly focus on a blue haired man with a tattoo around his right eye who was sitting on the next door side. His head rested on his hand with both eyes closed.
After a minute without any answer, Gran Doma repeat his question. "Councillor Siegrain, do you hear what I've just say?"
Siegrain opened his eyes slowly and look at the one who talk to him with an unfocused eyes, which one enough to make the other councilors stared in confusion. Well, that's really really strange for someone like him to be human like this.
"Uh.. What?" He blinked. And when no one answer him, he decided to talk even though he wasn't in the mood to do it. "I'm not feeling well. I should go home now and take a nap. Excuse me."
Siegrain get up to go. A man who seated beside him quickly grab his hand to stop Siegrain from leaving. But his expression suddenly changed into a bit shocked.
"..what?" Siegrain asked lazily.
"You have a really high fever! You're hot!"
"I'm hot. The hottest guy ever live in Fiore. Now let go of my hand. I should go home now."
"Are you sure you want to going alone? If you're in this state of fever, I think it must be hard to walk or even sit."
Siegrain just nodded idly and walk towards the door.
"Shit. Can't do anything right." muttered Siegrain to himself.
When the door knots is only an inch from his hand, Siegrain stopped and turn his head to look at the other council members.
"Uh.. My sight.. It's blur.." he whispered weakly and suddenly fell off into unconsciousness.
The council members just stared at the man who was laying right in front of a closed door with an expressions of disbelief and shocked. They were stunned. Siegrain, the most powerful mage in the magic council, the great wizard saint, the genius plus the youngest member of magic coucil who've been become one of the most important person in Fiore.. WAS LAYING UNCONSCIOUSLY RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR OWN EYES?!
..Sometimes the councils forget that Siegrain was simply a human.. and a young teenager.
After a few minutes of silence, finally Councillor Yajima spoke up, "Can anyone take him to the clinic? I want to do it, but unfortunately my old and small body can't handle it."
Everybody gulped and get their minds back to reality. A man, not an old one, get up from his seat and carried Siegrain towards the magic council clinic. The sleeping Siegrain lay in his arms with a bridal style(?). The man carefully put Siegrain on a single-size-clinic-bed. The other council members come to see the sick teen, completely forget about the meeting that should being held right now.
Siegrain's face seemed red because of the fever. A nurse come and put a small wet towel in his forehead after gently shoved his hair. He flinch a bit when the cold towel meet his skin but he continues to sleep in quiet with an innocent-but-hurt face and a heavy breathing. When the nurse go off to get some medicines and clothes for the sick wizard saint, the coucil members who stood not far from the bed started to talk.
"He looks like a little boy when he was sleeping. I never thought that he has that kind of face."
"Yeah.. without his usual-annoying-smirk, he seemed more like a teenager who need adults protection."
"Is that a gentle way to say that he looks weak?"
The council members laughed at the irony. No one was allowed to see the great Siegrain as a weakling. 'Cause that was unacceptable, and the teen wouldn't like it.
"Talk about need adults protection.. Does anyone know about his family or relation? We couldn't take care of him, right? I can't contact Ultear 'cause she was gone for a work that we gave her before. I'm sure that he need someone he knows to stay beside him when he's sick. I think we should contact them."
Suddenly the room goes silent for a minutes, until a sound break it up, ".. Never heard anything about that.."
Tower Heaven
A young girl with a cat costume knocked the door in front of her with a worry face. "Jellal-sama? Are you okay? You've already stay in your room for a week. Don't you want to out and eat something?"
She waited for a minute and get no answer. Gulped, she reached the knot and try to open it. Unlocked. The girl entered the room just to found many papers and books almost in every corner of the room. Her eyes sweep the room and locked at the sight of Jellal laying unconsciously with a heavy breathing. His face looks almost as red as his tattoo around his right eye. Panic, the girl run into Jellal and touch his sweaty forehead.
"Hot.." The girl whispered. "He's got a fever."
"Milliana! What are you doing in Jellal's room?"
A man with a mask standing in the opened door and stared at the girl on the room.
"Oh! Simon! Come here, quickly! I need your help."
"What?"
"Jellal-sama is sick."
Simon entered the room and walk towards the bed and touched Jellal's forehead with his backhand. "Shit. It's a fever! What the hell he was done to be like this?!"
Jellal/Siegrain's dream
Fear, Blood, Scream, Death. There are everywhere. United and made a hell. A little boy with a tattoo in his face stood in the middle of this hell and watching the bloody scenery with a blank face.
"I'm sick with this. I hate this world. I hate the peoples who live in it. I hate the god. I hate everything." He muttered. "Everyone's lying to me. There's no freedom in this world.."
Suddenly a red haired little girl appeared not far from him, together with some mans around her. She screamed, blood dripping from one of her eyes, when the others laughed at her.
"Erza.."
Anger fill Jellal's heart. He doesn't know why. But it does fueled him. Jellal shouted in anger and tortured the peoples who has hurting Erza, before killing them in a sadistic way.
'Hell is everywhere. Then why don't I created a hell on my own? Maybe I could find a freedom myself.'
Jellal hit a man with the dark magic he created. The man screamed in pain. Jellal smirked. Enjoying the voice, and going to make another voices.
"JELLAL!"
Jellal stopped and look at Erza who stare at him in fear. Tears dropped from her one eye.
"Why did you stopped me? I thought you hate them too."
"I hate them. I really really hate them. But don't do this. This is just.. too cruel."
'Cruel..? But they deserved that. I'm not wrong.'
"Let's get out of here, Jellal. Let's meet our freedom. Don't forced yourself to be cruel like this."
"There's no freedom in this world, Erza. I'll stay. And you'll stay with me."
"No Jellal! We could find freedom out there! We could search for it! Now let's leave this hell, Jellal. Together."
"You have to stay with me in here!" Jellal grabbed Erza's neck with his dark magic. He doesn't know why, but he felt fear. Fear of losing.
Erza struggle to freeing herself. And when she finally be free, she run. Running from Jellal ..and leave him alone.
When there's no sign of Erza's existence anymore, a drop of tear leave his eye and falling to the ground.
"Erza.. Don't leave me.."
That's it. I hope you enjoyed the story, because I'll make another chapters.
Well.. some story line in Jellal's dream were different from the real one in manga and anime. But this is a dream. And Jellal's dream, not mine. Don't blame me, blame Jellal. *peace* hehe.
Btw, English is not my mother language, and I'm not really good in English. So there's a little (maybe a lot) wrong grammar or words. I don't know. Sorry for that.
Please comment/review for a better next. Thank you~!
