Her eyes fluttered. It was dark all around her except for a stream of light that shone through a crack in what looked to be the exit. She stood up…or at least she tried to but she was immediately pulled back down by cold iron.
"What on…?"
Her memories slowly flooded back. Her heartbeat raced as she recalled what had happened.
We were hit by "Law"?
She didn't feel any different aside from a nauseating migraine. Her head was still spinning and she tried to lay down. She closed her eyes hoping the pain would go away but another thought made her sit straight up.
"Oh no! What happened to Zeref?" A loud click of someone releasing some kind of mechanism from the door had her on high alert. She took a deep breath and prepared herself for whatever was on the other side of that door. The final click echoed throughout the room and the metal ground against the floor as it opened. That seriously didn't helped her migraine. She winced at the mix of the sound and the bright light glaring through the open doorway. She squinted to get some semblance of an idea of who the shadow standing in the doorway was.
"Mavis Vermillion, I must say it is an honor to finally meet you."
Her eyes were still adjusting to the light but she could almost make out a face. She straightened up and leaned her back against the wall.
"Wish I could say the same." "Whom do I have the pleasure of speaking with?"
"Oh yes, my apologies."
The door shut behind him shrouding the place in complete darkness. Mavis felt her heart begin to race once again. She was getting annoyed but she knew she had to stay clear headed. She wasn't called the Fairy Tactician for nothing and given time her captors were gonna find that out the hard way. She saw a small flash of light and suddenly the room lit up. Fire spread in a perfect line along the walls. She finally got a good look at the man. He had snow white hair and piercing orange eyes. His muscular arms bulged from his black leather zip-up vest. They weren't outrageously big but the man was definitely toned well. A silver chain hung from his neck sporting a shrunken silver dagger encrusted with a fire opal jewel. He stepped forward and Mavis recoiled slightly in response.
"I will not harm you." "I have not been instructed to do so."
"What do you want?" "What have you done with Zeref?"
Mavis saw his eyes shimmer briefly at the mention of her lover. It quickly disappeared and he was back to being nothing but polite.
"Our master will explain once he arrives." "It shouldn't be much longer." "He was just taking care of some last minute adjustments."
She was just about to ask him to elaborate on what he meant by "adjustments" when the door mechanism clicked again. She wondered who would greet her this time. The door opened slowly and a tall figure walked in. Mavis almost couldn't breathe when she saw the man standing before her. His dark hair flowed wildly around his head covering his face slightly. He wore black from head to toe and an overcoat open with no shirt underneath revealing the guild mark underneath.
"Gray Fullbuster…" The name left her lips in a breathy exasperated gasp.
"Hey…First"
I think this is a good point to leave off. The first chapter was a bit short so I thought I would give ya'll a little more. Please let me know what you think and tell me if you think my chapters should be longer. Thanks!
