AN: Okay so this one is shorter and not as exciting BUT guess what I'm working on chapter three :D I love that a lot of you have reviewed on chapter one already :) More action next time
Erza tapped her feet impatiently as she sat at one of the tables. Lucy had been gone for a week now. Something had to have happened to her. Everyone just said to wait, and that's all Erza had been doing besides training until she dropped. She really wanted to show Lucy she could fight alongside her. Before she knew it, Lucy had been gone for over a year. Erza had decided she would focus on training to become S class so she could search for Lucy. Mira walked up to Erza.
"Still waiting for your teacher?"
"I'll always wait, but right now I'm focused on getting stronger."
"You will never be stronger than me." Mira smirked and Erza hit her. Once again the two girls jumped at each other trying to prove who is better. Later that day Erza was in the woods practicing her swordplay. She slashed at her target.
"I can't take this!" Erza dropped her swords and started hitting the target with her fists. She felt as if she wasn't getting any stronger. Usually Lucy would say how she was getting better. Erza hit it one last time before breaking down into tears. "I miss you Lucy..." Erza sobbed and hit the ground. She could only remember all the times Lucy practiced sword fighting or just hand to hand combat with her. She didn't know how much longer she could wait. Erza pushed herself up and took her swords. "I'll find you Lucy Sensei..." She pushed herself harder and focused on her movements. She would become an S class for Lucy.
…...
Makarov faced all of the chosen participants for this years S class mage exam. Erza stood straight and proud as she listened to him. No one had spoken of Lucy for three years now, not even Erza. She had trained hard for this moment. She would finally become S class and start her search for Lucy. Makarov looked over each and every one.
"Let's see who comes out on top this time. Let's begin!" Everyone ran off in different directions. Makarov smiled. "Let's see how this turns out Lucy. Will your student fulfill her promise to you?"
…...
Erza panted as she kicked Cana down. She caught her breath and turned to face Makarov. Erza straightened up and he smiled. "Erza Scarlet. Congratulations on becoming an S class mage of Fairy Tail!" Erza finally let a smile cross her lips.
'I did it...I finally became S class.' Erza thought proudly. She raised her hand and the other Fairy Tail members followed suite. It was what Fairy Tail used to show they were all together no matter how far apart they were. 'I'll find you Lucy.'
…...
Erza lay in her bed staring up at the ceiling in her apartment. She had just gotten home from the S class exams and she was exhausted. She had fought with all she had. Erza smiled.
'At least I became S class.' Erza thought happily. She looked at a picture on her desk and smiled sadly. It was of Lucy scolding her. Mira had taken the picture to shove in Erza's face. 'I still remember when Lucy became my mentor.'
…...
Flashback
Lucy was laying under a tree and napping. She had been on mission after mission and decided it was time to take a short break. She heard someone approach her and opened her eyes to see a young red head. Lucy yawned and sat up. She leaned her back against the tree and looked at the girl.
"You're Erza right?"
"Yes." Erza was looking off to the side before speaking to Lucy. "Would you teach me how to become S class?"
"Huh? You want me to train you?" Lucy said in shock. Erza nodded. "Well I don't think I'd be such a great teacher. I think you should ask someone else."
"Please. I promise I'll work really hard!" Erza looked Lucy dead in the eyes and Lucy couldn't help but to smile.
'What a cute face.' Lucy thought as she stood up.
"Well Erza. I'll become your mentor on one condition. Promise me you will become an S class mage."
The red head smiled and nodded. "I promise!" Lucy ruffled the girl's hair and started walking towards the woods.
"Let's get started then."
…...
Erza sighed and rolled over things had certainly changed when Lucy was gone. Mira wasn't even her rival anymore since Lisanna had died. People in the guild seemed to have forgotten the young celestial mage. Soon it had been 5 years that Lucy had been gone. Many thought of her as dead. Erza thought differently though. She tried to think out of the box like Lucy had taught her to do. Something had to have happened to her, but what. Erza could never figure it out. She had searched and searched, but always came up empty handed. Erza had recently gotten back from one of her searches and decided to relax at the guild for awhile. She heard the doors open and nearly fell out of her chair. There standing at the door was an exhausted and shocked Lucy. Erza jumped out of her seat.
"Lucy..." She watched as the girl fell to the ground. "Lucy!" Erza ran over to her and picked her up to take upstairs. Mira followed her.
"Is she okay?"
"I think so...looks drained and a few scratches. What the hell happened to her?" Erza asked to herself. Mira smiled.
"She came home."
"Just like she promised..." Erza let a few tears fall as she hugged the girl to her. "Finally..."
