Part One:

Jellal

Chapter One

It was a rainy day. One of the rainiest that he had ever seen in Magnolia, in fact. And as he fought through the downpour, he thought about how he was supposed to get home.

His car had been towed, because he had parked in a spot with a parking meter and had run out of time.

So he set out to the bus stop, but soon found that the bus wouldn't be running in this severe of weather. He lived miles away—All the way in the next town over, Era. He would never be able to walk home in this weather.

Suddenly, the man stumbled and fell. He had tripped on the root of a tree that had been Protruding into the sidewalk. He sighed and began to stand up, when suddenly a hand was thrusted out to him. Hesitantly, he grabbed it and the unknown stranger helped pull him up.

When he was finally on his feet again, he pushed his wet blue hair out of his face. When he saw the person who had helped him, his eyes widened.

The stranger was a young woman, and a pretty one at that. She had long red hair and deep brown eyes—So deep that the man felt he could get lost in them. She noticed him staring, and her cheeks turned a light pink. The man quickly stopped staring a straightened his back.

"Uh... Thank you, Miss...?" The bluenette trailed off.

"Scarlet. Erza Scarlet." The redhead, Erza, smiled.

"Right. Thank you Miss Scarlet," He reprimanded.

The bluenette looked at her for a second, before murmuring, "You know, you're name really suits you. You have such pretty scarlet hair." Erza blushed a deep red, but muttered a 'thank you'.

"A-Anyway... You're welcome, Mr...?" Erza looked at him expectantly, waiting to learn his name.

"Jellal Fernandes," The man answered, his tea-green eyes showing a hint of a smile.

"Well Mr Fernandes, you seem a bit lost. Do you need help finding your way home?" Erza gave him a look that said 'I know you need help, so let me help you'

"Very lost, actually. The bus route was cancelled due to weather, and I'm afraid my car has been towed. I have no way home." Jellal sighed as he admitted his actual situation to the redhead.

Erza nodded. "I see. So you need a ride home? I could help you," She said. "If you're ok with that, of course," She added, looking a bit embarrassed.

"Ok, if it's no trouble, that would be great. Thank you Miss Scarlet." Jellal smiled slightly as the rain pounded down on the two of them.

"Um... Y-You can call me Erza..." Erza said, as her face turned a deep crimson.

"Then you can call me Jellal."

"O-Ok... Follow me..." Erza began to walk off in the opposite direction, and Jellal followed

Eventually, the two of them reached their destination: Erza's car. They hopped into the car and Erza drove him all the way to Era.

When they arrived, Jellal opened the door and got out of the car. Erza rolled down the window so that the two of them could talk.

"Thank you, Erza. I won't forget this favor you did for me," He promised.

"You're welcome..." Erza said.

"Uh... Bye," Jellal said awkwardly.

"Yeah... Goodbye." Erza rolled up her window and drove back down the gravel road.

Jellal watched her go, all the way until she was completely out of sight, then turned toward the door to his house. He walked up the steps, and reached for the door, but before he opened it, it was opened on the other side by a young girl with pink hair and green eyes. Behind her stood an older woman with dark eyes and hair.

"Jelly! You're back!" The pinkette leaped on Jellal, hugging him tight.

"Y-Yeah... Hey Meredy." Jellal smiled at the girl, Meredy. Meredy was the adoptive daughter of the dark haired woman, Ultear. She had been brought to the orphanage after her town burned down due to a forest fire. Ultear had adopted her a few years ago, a little while after she had started waiving with Jellal, who was her cousin.

"So Jellal, who was that girl?" Ultear smirked at the bluenette, as he began to grow nervous.

"Nobody." Jellal tried to step around Ultear, but Meredy immediately jumped in to block his path.

"Spill," She said, grinning widely.

Jellal shook his head, quickly.

"Do it," Ultear growled. Again, Jellal shook his head.

"JELLAL FERNANDES, TELL US WHO THAT WOMAN WAS RIGHT NOW!" Ultear shouted. Jellal's eyes widened in fear, and he quickly began to talk.

"Th-That was Erza S-Scarlet. She helped me in Magnolia." Jellal began to tell the story of how he and Erza had met.

"She sounds like a very good person. Do you plan on meeting her again? You do, right?" Ultear asked, making eye contact with Jellal to shothey at she meant business.

"I-I guess..." Jellal muttered.

Ultear stared at the bluenette. "What was that? I couldn't hear you, please speak up," She said, grinning evilly,

"I guess I can meet here again," Jellal said, louder and stronger than before.

"Ah. I see. I plan on meeting her, then." Ultear and Meredy stepped aside to let Jellal into the house.

"Yeah..." Jellal walked into the house, and quickly ran up the stairs to escape the two demon women he lived with. Honestly, when had Meredy taken on his evil cousin's personality? It was just to much to bear for him.

He reached the top of the stairs, and walked into his room. He lay down on his queen sized bed, and went to sleep, trying to forget the day's stress.
