Sorry I didn't post this last Friday! I was really busy, plus I had my friends' sisters wedding reception to attend to and... yeah... I will post another chapter tomorrow still though! Anyways... Enjoy and thank you everyone for your words of encouragement!
At six in the morning, I woke up to my phone ringing. I looked at the caller ID, and saw that it was Jellal.
"Good morning..." I mumbled sleepily into the phone.
"Good morning, sorry to wake you." he replied.
"No, you didn't wake me up, I've been awake for an hour now..." I yawned.
"Sounds like it..." Jellal muttered, "Anyways... Ultear found someone that she wants to interrogate about the Marvel case, but before Meredy allows her to interrogate him, she wants to know if you or Natsu want to interrogate him." he informed.
"I'd like to interrogate him." I responded.
"Okay, I'll tell them. Oh and I'm picking you up at seven again." he replied, then hung up.
I got out of bed and quickly took a shower, then I changed into skinny jeans and a tight grey T-shirt. I brushed my hair, then grabbed a sweater and brought it with me to the kitchen. After deciding that I wasn't hungry, I watched TV.
I jumped when I heard a knock on the door, but smiled when I opened the door and saw Jellal.
"Hi," I greeted cheerfully.
"Hi. You've officially worked at .I for one day." he commented.
"In that one day, I was exhausted." I pointed out.
"At least we haven't had to deal with the press yet... And I'm actually really glad because during the test, you scared the one person." Jellal added.
"I was only going to threaten to steal his strawberry cake..." I muttered.
"That's not what he thought." Jellal pointed out.
We got into his car and drove to the agency. Just as we were about to enter the building, we heard Meredy.
"Ultear! You can't punch someone just because they piss you off!" Meredy exclaimed.
We entered the building to see, Meredy hugging Ultear from behind, Ultear trying to escape, and a man with dark green hair was holding his eye.
"Umm... What happened?" Jellal asked, looking pointedly at Ultear.
"Ultear asked him what his name was- Ow! Ultear!" she was interrupted by Ultear elbowing her ribs, then finished what she was saying, "And he insulted her."
My eyes widened, "What did he say?"
"He called her a bitchy slut." Meredy replied breathlessly.
"Do you... Need help?" I asked hesitantly.
"Please..." she responded.
Jellal and I went over and grabbed Ultear. I had both of her arms, Meredy had her waist and Jellal had her shoulders.
"I'm going to... Be going now..." the man with green hair muttered and started backing away.
I released Ultear's wrists and turned around, glaring.
"You aren't leaving." I snapped.
"Umm... Yes. I am." he retorted.
I forced myself to look calm, "Alright... Alright... You can leave..."
He rolled his eyes and started to walk away. Before he could pass me, I punched him in the stomach as hard as I could.
"Erza! You aren't helping!" Meredy exclaimed.
The man coughed, "Bitch..."
"Was that necessary?" Jellal asked.
"No," I answered simply.
Meredy and Jellal slowly released Ultear when they saw that she was calming down.
"Okay... Interrogation room. Now!" Meredy ordered.
Meredy half dragged the person I had punched, to the interrogation room. Jellal and I did drag Ultear to the interrogation room.
"Okay, Erza you get to interrogate him first, then Ultear can... And hopefully she'll be calmer by then." Meredy informed.
"Quick question... Why was he dragged here in the first place?" I asked.
"Ultear thinks he might know who the guy that was in the passengers seat might have been working for." Meredy responded.
"So almost like they're working as a team, and they each get individual targets?" I clarified.
"That's exactly what Ultear's thinking. Well... Not at this very moment... At this very moment, it could be scary to know her thoughts..." Meredy replied.
I nodded in response, then Meredy, Jellal, and Ultear left the interrogation room, leaving me alone with the man with green hair. Well, not completely alone. They were standing on the other side of a one way window. From the side of the window that I was on, it looked like a mirror.
Shit... I left my sweater at home... I can only hope that he won't notice my scars...
The man was sitting at a table in the center of the room. I sat across from him.
"Do you know anything about Wendy and Grandine Marvel?" I asked.
"I know that they're in the hospital because of a car accident." he retorted.
"Do you know the person that was in the passengers seat?" I quizzed.
"Maybe I do. Maybe I don't. What's his name?" he answered.
"I don't know what his name is, but I'm sure you don't really need his name." I responded coolly.
He smirked, and I tensed up when I noticed that he was looking directly at the scars on my arms.
"Are you sure that you're a trained F.T.B.I. agent? From the looks of it, you're just a hopeless little girl." he laughed.
I froze.
"Oh? Did I hit a sore spot?" he tested. He leaned forward and whispered, "You look pathetic. You think that covering the scars will help? It won't. You will always look weak and pathetic."
I rubbed my eyes, which had tears threatening to escape. Ultear came into the room and shoved him out of his seat. Jellal, ignoring what Ultear had just done, came over to me. He grabbed my arm and carefully pulled me out of the room.
"Ultear, you finish up with the interrogation." Jellal instructed just before leaving the room.
Jellal brought me over to a chair. By the time I sat down, I had tears streaming down my face. He sat in the chair next to me.
"What did he say to you?" Jellal asked.
I shook my head and leaned against him.
"I'm sorry..." I whimpered.
"Erza, why are you apologizing?" Jellal asked.
"I-I'm useless..." I said under my breath.
"You aren't useless." Jellal retorted, "If you were useless, you wouldn't have gotten the job. You also wouldn't have had the highest scores on the tests."
Meredy came over by us and I could just barely hear what she said to Jellal.
"I gave Levy the tapes... See if she can pick up his voice.." is all I heard her say.
Jellal nodded in response, and Meredy went to go watch Ultear.
(Jellal's POV)
I didn't know how, in two minutes, she had gotten to the state of 'she was useless', but I knew that I didn't like her that way. She wasn't useless, she was one of the strongest, smartest people I knew.
She leaned against my chest, tears streaming down her beautiful face. She kept on mumbling something, but I couldn't hear the words.
I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder. When I looked over, Levy was standing by me.
"I was able to enhance just enough sound to get some of the words." she informed quietly.
I nodded in response then looked down at Erza. I wanted to go with Levy and hear what the idiot that Ultear was with had said to Erza, but I didn't want to leave her.
"I'll be right back..." Levy said, then quickly left.
A few minutes later, she came back with cassette and gave it to me.
"You can listen to it later. I downloaded the conversation onto this tape." she informed me.
"Thank you Levy." I said, taking the cassette out of her hand and putting it in my pocket.
Levy went back to her office, leaving me alone with Erza.
"Erza..." I said after a while, "Do you want to go to your office?" I asked.
I felt her nod against my chest. She shakily stood up, and I stood up after her. I told Meredy where we were going, then we left. When we were in the elevator, Erza sat down in the corner. I stayed standing and leaned against the wall. When we got up to the fourth floor, I helped Erza up, and brought her to her office.
She sat down in the chair that was in the corner of the room. Erza curled into a ball and buried her face in her arms. Soon enough, she was softly snoring. I quickly went to my office, and grabbed a cassette player and headphones, then I went back to Erza's office. I sat in the chair behind her desk, and plugged in my headphones, then I put the cassette into the player.
It started at the beginning of the interrogation.
"Do you know anything about Wendy and Grandine Marvel?" Erza asked.
"I know that they're in the hospital because of a car accident." the man retorted.
"Do you know the person that was in the passengers seat?" Erza quizzed.
"Maybe I do. Maybe I don't. What's his name?" the man answered.
"I don't know what his name is, but I'm sure you don't really need his name." she responded coolly.
"Are you sure that you're a trained F.T.B.I. agent? From the looks of it, you're just a hopeless little girl." he laughed.
There was a long pause.
"Oh? Did I hit a sore spot?" he tested. I could hear a soft whisper, "...look pathetic ...think...covering the scars... help? It won't...will always...weak and pathetic."
Oh God...
I took of my headphones and tossed the cassette player to the side. I sighed and leaned forward, resting my head in my hands.
There was a soft knock at the door. I looked up and saw Meredy.
"Hi..." she started.
"How'd the interrogation go?" I asked.
"It went fine... For a while..." she answered, "Then he insulted Ultear again, and mentioned something about crappy agents... So... Now Ultear is talking to Director Makarov..." Meredy replied hesitantly.
"That guy deserved it," I retorted.
"You listened to the cassette?" she questioned.
I nodded.
"What did he say?" she asked.
"He called her weak and pathetic.." my voice was hoarse.
"Oh... Well... I should probably go help bail Ultear out of trouble..." she mumbled.
"Alright... Good luck." I sighed as she left.
(Erza's POV)
"Get up!" my father shouted soon after slamming me to the ground.
I had tried getting up... I physically couldn't get up. My father kicked my leg, hard. This was one of the few times I actually screamed in pain. I screamed in pain because this was one of those times I couldn't hold it back.
My father had rage reflecting in his eyes. He kicked me in the stomach as hard as he could, causing me to throw up.
"You are so pitiful!" my father shouted, "A weak, useless bitch! Just like your mother was before she left us!"
Tears stung my eyes, but I wasn't allowed to shed them. I quickly wiped my eyes so he wouldn't see. My father had always told me that I was the reason my mother left us, and I believed him. Nobody'd think that their parents would tell a lie.
My eyes shot open. I flinched when I forgot where I was for a moment. When I looked over, I saw Jellal looking at me worriedly.
"What?" I asked, a little harsher than planned.
Jellal quickly broke eye contact, and mumbled, "Nothing..."
I glanced down at my feet, and mumbled to myself, "I'm so pathetic..."
"Quit telling yourself that," Jellal retorted.
"You want me to bury myself in lies?" I quizzed.
"Of course not, so quit calling yourself pathetic." Jellal answered.
I opened my mouth to respond, but closed it almost right away.
"I'll be right back..." I muttered, then quickly left the room.
I practically ran to the elevator and went down to the main floor. After I got out of the building, I paced around in front of it.
There was probably a million thoughts that ran through my head, but only two stuck.
Why did it matter to Jellal whether or not I called myself pathetic?
I am pathetic.
After pacing, I leaned against the building and thought about what had happened in the interrogation room. My eyes widened as I suddenly realized one of the possibilities. I quickly ran back up to my office, where Jellal was still sitting in my chair.
"Are there any recordings of the interrogation?" I asked immediately.
"Voice, or one with image and voice?" Jellal asked.
"Both." I replied.
"Well I have just the voice one right here..." he trailed off as he grabbed a cassette player, "Levy should have the other one."
"Okay, can you get it for me?" I asked.
"Yeah...?" he sounded confused, but got up to go get it anyways.
I took his seat and grabbed the cassette player, then listened to it around five times before he returned.
Jellal handed me a disc, and I immediately put into the computer.
"Levy is awesome, I'll have to thank her..." I said to myself.
"Would you mind telling me what this is all about?" Jellal quizzed.
I turned to him, "Well..." I hesitated for a moment, "Screw it... You probably already heard it on the voice recording..." I decided, "I realized that he must've been working off of some sort of script. He seemed to know that calling me weak, would effect me. The thing I was wondering was, how did he know it'd affect me? I usually try hiding my weaknesses. Then, it hit me. The only way someone would know that calling me weak would effect me, is if my father or I told them. Only, why would I tell someone my own weakness? I wouldn't." I took a deep breath at the end of the sentence.
"That's a good interpretation." Jellal commented, "Do you want me to go talk to Ultear, Meredy and Natsu?"
"Yes please." I replied, "Where is Ultear and Meredy anyways?"
"Um... Ultear got into big trouble during the interrogation... Just remember to never insult Ultear when she's already been pissed off twice that day." Jellal answered.
"I'll keep that in mind." I responded.
Jellal left the room and came back around ten minutes later, with Ultear, Meredy, and... Gray?
"Ultear has to have someone with her all the time... But it can't be you, me, or Jellal, Makarov doesn't trust us with that task anymore." Meredy explained.
"Okay...?" I responded, confused.
"Anyways... Jellal told us that you think your father might be behind this." Ultear interrupted.
"Yes. Um.. As I was telling Jellal, a few of the things that this idiot said to me just so happened to be something to bring out one of my weaknesses. Well... It actually is my weakness. Anyways, my father was the only other one to know that it'd tear me down, so I think the guy that we were interrogating, might have gotten some sort of script from my father." I explained, again, taking a deep breath afterwards.
"Okay." Meredy sighed.
"Wait.. So you were interrogating someone who might know the person who's behind the Marvel case, right?" Gray clarified.
"Yes." I answered.
"So the guy that was in the passengers seat... Wasn't he hoping to kill someone? That someone being you..." Gray pointed out.
"Most likely." I replied simply.
"Why would your father want to kill you?" he asked.
Right... He probably doesn't know anything about my past...
"Because I'm the one who got him arrested." I answered.
"Oh... That would tick someone off..." he commented.
"Yeah," I replied.
"Wait... Didn't you say that your car got destroyed?" Ultear asked.
"Yeah...?" I answered.
"Your father could've destroyed it, hoping to catch you walking to or home from work," Ultear pointed out.
"I wouldn't doubt that," I responded.
"I'd recommend that you don't go anywhere alone," Ultear informed.
"I doubt that Jellal would let me go anywhere alone because that would involve me walking, and he doesn't like it when I walk places," I replied, causing Jellal to turn bright red.
He quickly looked away, which made Ultear and Meredy laugh.
"Umm... Okay..." I started.
"Do you seriously not see-" Meredy started, but quickly cut herself off.
I rolled my eyes, "I'm going to go get something to eat."
"Something or Strawberry cake?" Ultear quizzed.
"Strawberry cake." I replied.
We left the room and went up to the cafeteria. I got strawberry cake, Jellal got fries again, Ultear got chicken and shared with Meredy, while Gray said he wasn't hungry. Levy came and sat down by us.
"I printed information about Erza's father." Levy informed.
"Okay... Thanks for the recordings by the way." I responded.
"No problem. Oh I printed a copy for each of you, so you don't have to share," she added.
She passed out folders that had four sheets of paper in each. I opened the folder and on the top sheet of paper, was a list of everything my father's done bad. He had seven D.W.I's, he got into twenty-eight bar fights, there was also child abuse, and the murder of twelve people.
My eyes widened, "That asshole murdered twelve people!"
Also on that sheet was all his personal information, like his date of birth, full name, and how many times he had to go to court.
"Wait... Child abuse?" Gray exclaimed.
I awkwardly looked down.
"Ow! Ultear!" Gray suddenly exclaimed.
"Shut up Gray..." she muttered.
"Uh... S-sorry..." he mumbled.
I glanced up, "It's fine."
"Anyways... Twelve murders is a lot. I mean... It's not uncommon, but it's still a lot." Gray commented.
"Yeah..." I agreed quietly.
"How many times did you visit the hospital?" Ultear asked, receiving a glare from Jellal.
"Umm... Five times a week... Four if I was lucky," I answered hesitantly.
"How did nobody find out?" Meredy exclaimed.
"Lies upon lies," I replied, "The most common one being, I got beat up at school."
"It says here, on your hospital records, that 64% of the times you went to the hospital, the reasoning was that you got beat up," Levy announced quietly.
I looked over, and saw that she was on her laptop.
"What's the other 36%?" I asked.
"15% of it... Your mother got blamed. Then, 1% of the time was, your father brought you to a bar with him and ended up in the middle of a bar fight..." Levy trailed off.
"That one's actually true... A few times, that did happen. The one about my mother isn't even close. She left us when I was six," I commented, "There's still twenty percent left."
"The final twenty percent..." she scrolled down on her screen, "There's no reasoning."
"That's a shocker... I don't remember a single time whereas he didn't give an excuse." I mentioned.
Levy suddenly flinched, "What the hell just happened?" she exclaimed.
"What?" I questioned.
"All of your medical records just disappeared," she muttered.
"How?" Meredy asked, probably not expecting an answer.
"I'll be right back, I'm going to go to Macao about it," she mumbled, then got up and left, taking the computer with her.
"Erza, Lucy says you need to answer your phone!" Natsu called over to me, from across the cafeteria.
I rolled my eyes, "Why can't she just talk to you?" I called back.
"She says your car is currently being shoveled off the road... It got smashed up even more." Natsu informed loudly.
"I was going to get a new car anyways..." I groaned, "Is that all she wanted to say?"
"I'm kind of scared to give the final message..." Natsu muttered.
"What? If she text you, hand me the phone. If she called you, tell her to text you what it is, then hang up and hand me the phone." I retorted.
Natsu quickly came over, handed me his phone, then went to the other side of the table.
"I'm all out of strawberry cake? I had four whole cakes left this morning! Wait... How would she know? Natsu! You're supposed to keep her at your house!" I exclaimed.
"S-s-s-sorry..." he stuttered.
I rolled my eyes, "Go get her..."
"Aye sir!" he replied then dashed off.
"I'll have to remind him not to call me 'sir'..." I mumbled.
"You're really making him go get his girlfriend, and drag her here?" Meredy questioned.
"Yes." I answered simply.
"Aye sir..." she muttered under her breath.
I sighed and let my head drop onto the table, causing Meredy to shriek in surprise and for Ultear to laugh at her.
"If you copy Natsu again... I will begin to look down on you." I muttered, which made Ultear laugh more.
"Aye... I mean... Okay." Meredy mumbled hesitantly, then she hit Ultear.
I suddenly felt something on the seat, to my left. I turned my head and flinched when I saw Natsu's blue cat.
My eyes widened in surprise, "Why the hell did Natsu leave his cat here?" I exclaimed, then quickly crawled to my right, crawling over Jellal and sitting on his other side, "Keep that stupid cat away from me... He's evil... And mean."
Jellal laughed, "And you aren't?"
"He stole my cake... My strawberry cake..." I whined, "Wait..." I leaned over Jellal and grabbed my plate, pulling it towards me. I glared at Natsu's cat, Happy.
"Why is the cat blue?" Ultear asked, obviously not trying to laugh at my random freak out.
"According to Natsu, it's a rare type called an Exceed." I muttered, not breaking my gaze from the cat.
"Erza!" I heard Lucy's up high pitched voice and I quickly shoved myself under the table, "Erza... Come out from under the table..." she whined.
I rolled my eyes and crawled back onto my seat. I turned and faced Lucy.
"Where's Natsu?" I asked.
"He ran off somewhere." she answered.
"Then you can take his damn cat." I retorted.
"What has Happy ever done to you?" she asked while picking up the cat.
"He ate my cake! You should know, you were there!" I exclaimed.
"Oh yeah..." she sighed.
"You need to stay at Natsu's. You can't go back to our house." I stated.
"But I was worried about you." she whined.
"Quit worrying about me. I have about ten swords and two guns hidden in the house-" I started.
Her eyes widened in surprise, "I thought you only had the one sword!" she exclaimed.
"You haven't found the others yet? Wow... You're oblivious..." I muttered.
I heard Ultear mutter something to Meredy, "I think Erza's the oblivious one..."
"Or Jellal..." Meredy mumbled back.
Lucy glanced over at Meredy, Gray, and Ultear curiously.
"I've heard all about Jellal, but Erza hasn't told me about you three. Natsu told me Jellal's name though, Erza wouldn't." she half mumbled.
I stomped on her foot as hard as I could.
"Erza!" she exclaimed.
"What? I blame it on the cat." I retorted.
"Yes the cat, that I'm holding, stomped on my foot..." she said sarcastically.
"Glad you agree. Anyways, the one that's forcing herself not to laugh, is Ultear, the one with pink hair, is Meredy, and the one that just randomly stripped, is Gray." I informed.
Gray suddenly grew red with embarrassment.
"So... Erza told you about Jellal?" Meredy questioned Lucy.
"Yeah, she told me about him a couple of times." Lucy answered.
I blushed and turned away from everyone. Although, I made one mistake. I looked at my arms, and began tracing the larger scars with my fingers
Lucy suddenly gasped, causing all my attention to shoot to her.
"You never told me that you had that many scars! You only said that your father gave you a few an-" she started.
I kicked her ankle as hard as I could, cutting her off. She immediately lifted her leg.
"Ow!" she exclaimed.
"Don't say another word about it, or I'll kick your other ankle too." I threatened.
She nodded, "Got it... Not another word..."
"Good." I half growled, then stood up, and walked away.
I sat down at a table, away from them. Levy ran out of the elevator and over to me.
"Please tell me that you guys still have those sheets I gave you!" she exclaimed.
"Yeah, they're over at the other table... Why?" I replied.
"Your father's criminal records have disappeared," she explained, "There must be someone hacking into the system!" she exclaimed, causing the cafeteria to fall silent.
I glanced back at Lucy, and the others. Lucy looked scared, Ultear and Jellal looked shocked, and Meredy and Gray looked both shocked and scared, not as much scared.
"Are you saying that someone could've actually hacked into the systems?" Gray practically exclaimed.
"Yes, all of Erza's fathers information just suddenly disappeared, so did almost everything about Erza." Levy sounded stressed.
"Ultear, do you know where that guy from earlier is?" I asked.
"Yeah, Mira has him in her office. He's all bandaged up and can't walk." Ultear answered.
"Good. I still want to talk to him," I replied then got up and went to the elevator.
I went down, to the floor that Mira's office was on. Quickly, I walked down to Mira's office. Luckily, Mira wasn't there. Just the guy from earlier. I picked him up and slammed him against the wall.
"You know who my father is, don't you?" I half growled.
His only response was a smirk, but that's all I needed.
"That's what I thought. Where is my father?" I retorted, glaring at him.
"Why should I tell you, bitch?" he laughed.
"Where is he?" I asked again, a hint of anger in my voice.
"That friend of yours sure is strong..." he commented.
I punched his arm, "I asked you where my father was... Answer the question."
"No thanks." he retorted.
After twenty more tries, and about thirty more punches, he was unconscious. Mira came into the room and gasped.
"Again? First Ultear knocks him out and now you!" she exclaimed.
"He should learn to answer questions..." I muttered.
"You and Ultear must not know how to use words..." Mira commented, "I mean, I hate this bitch too, but... Really? You had to knock him out?"
"Well... I didn't plan on knocking him out..." I muttered.
She sighed, "I'll take care of him, let's just not tell Makarov about it..."
I nodded in agreement, then left the room. When I got back to the cafeteria, Jellal was waiting for me. I walked over to him, and sat down next to him.
"Where are the others?" I asked.
"They went to Gray's office. They said something about another case." Jellal answered.
"Oh." I replied, glancing down at my hands.
Suddenly, I realized that they were bruised and I had blood on the knuckles. I awkwardly put my hands under the table.
"Um.. Should we go down to Gray's office then?" I suggested.
"Yeah," Jellal nodded his head.
We went into the elevator and went down to the field agents floor.
"Do you know what this case is about?" I asked.
"Drug dealers at a prom." Jellal answered, "Or something like that..."
"You weren't really paying attention, were you?" I quizzed.
"I was lost in thought." he replied.
"What were you thinking about?" I asked.
"The fact that you have a different last name than both your parents." he stated.
"Oh... Right... I originally had my father's last name... Then he 'disowned' me and changed my last name, but kept me living with him." I replied hesitantly.
We got off the elevator and onto the fourth floor.
"That sounds awful..." Jellal commented as we began walking to Gray's office, which wasn't too far from the elevator.
"Oh good, you two are finally here." Gray interrupted.
"Yeah, sorry to keep you waiting." I apologized.
"That's fine." Gray replied, "Anyways... I'm sure Jellal told you about the new case..." he started.
I nodded, waiting for him to go on.
"Okay, so this new one is a bunch of drug dealers. There's a group of drug dealers, and they somehow find a way to blend in at High School proms. Since we are the youngest looking agents, we should be able to blend in too." Gray informed.
"So we're going to a prom? Like, an actual school dance?" I questioned, panic in my voice.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine." Jellal assured me.
"Yeah, you're the youngest and the prettiest out of all of us." Meredy added.
I let out a shaky breath, that I didn't even know I was holding in, "Okay..."
"Alright... So when is the prom?" Meredy asked.
"Well... Today's a Thursday... So tomorrow night..." Gray responded hesitantly.
"Okay, so what about money for dresses?" Meredy quizzed.
"Mira is taking care of the clothes." Gray answered.
"The question is... Will Gray wear his clothes?" Ultear stated mockingly.
"I don't strip that often!" Gray exclaimed.
"Oh really?" Ultear tested, "Then tell me, Gray... Where are your clothes right now?"
Gray looked down, then his face immediately became red with embarrassment, which only gave Ultear a reason to laugh at him.
"That was just too perfect..." Meredy muttered.
Gray sighed and quickly put his clothes back on.
"Have you ever thought about seeing a therapist?" Ultear asked in between laughs.
"What? No!" Gray exclaimed, "That's just too weird! 'Oh yeah, I'm here for my stripping problem...' Sorry, but I'll pass!"
That's one answer... If you want Ultear to laugh at you even more.
"Ignoring Ultear... Go to Mira if you don't want her to mess up on sizes." Gray added.
"Sucks to be you... You're stuck with Ultear. Remember it's her punishment." Meredy taunted.
"Or at least, it's supposed to be." I muttered.
What did you think? Was it good? Was it bad? Leave a review please!
