Hello Everybody!
The long awaited chapter has arrived! Pushing homework and other stuff aside, I have completed this chapter. .
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail and the song Titanium (even if I wanted to)
Like I always say, Enjoy!
Hatred
Her
Jellal… The name was like poison to her tongue, medicine to her love struck heart and a one way ticket to a trip to darkness.
Jellal…He was the only one that could make her knee shakes, appear in her dreams and thoughts, and haunt her where ever she goes.
Hate is a strong word, and she knew it. Disliked seemed better, a safer choice of a word.
Him
Erza…He was still in love with her like a lovesick puppy. How does she make his heart skip beats and hands start sweating like crazy when he thinks of her?
Erza's red hair, that could make any man go crazy; crazy enough to submit to her, even him.
Erza… Even though he doesn't admit it, he had always yearned to become her soul mate forever.
Normal
He had always left her. Left her all alone, trying to pick up the remains, to piece them back together. Alone. Not once, not twice, but countless times.
Let us pick up the first puzzle piece….
"Jellal! Where are you going?!"
"Away… Far far away from here."
"Away?" She had replied, shocked at his answer, "Why? Am I going with you though?"
"No, I'm going alone."
With that, Jellal left on his journey, the destination not even decided yet.
She just stood there; watching him go, watching him leave her life, on a journey that was so cold, so lonely, that it made it hard to hate him for leaving her.
That was who he was, someone that weaved in and out of her life. The second time he had left her was after the Tower of Heaven was destroyed. She had begged him to stay, no doubt, but he just would not listen.
He always told himself it was for the good of everyone, he was dangerous, and he didn't want to hurt her. Little did he know that the reason for everything falling apart was because of this one lie, the lie that he had told himself countless times…
It was like any normal day for Jellal, strolling along the streets of Mongolia. He didn't know when and what he was doing there, but his instincts told him that it was something he couldn't miss.
Kicking a stray stone aside, he looked up at the moon up in the sky, the stars and the clouds here and there.
Where are you Erza?
Like the man on the moon had heard him, a beam of light showed him the way. In and out of alleyways, the moon led him to Mongolia Park.
Jellal wanted no one from Fairy Tail to spot him, so he climbed up a tree that was situated in the middle of the park.
Closing his eyes, he let the sounds of the tree swaying wash over him.
Erza at this time was having a massive headache. Recently, she started having panic attacks every time she thought about Jellal, like the name followed her everywhere.
Mirajane suggested her to sing out her worries and her fears, but Erza wasn't confident in her voice. The last time she sung to someone was to Jellal, and he had said it sounded horrible.
It was supposed to be sarcastic, but she took it the opposite way. Thinking that Jellal hated her singing, she stopped it.
Who would know that Erza had a passion for singing though?
Choosing to take a stroll through Mongolia Park, she found that standing under the tree in the middle of the park gave her the most comfort, as the tree was tall and blocked out the moonlight.
Meanwhile, Jellal watched Erza stand directly below where he was sitting up in the tree. Scared that she would find out where he was hiding, he became very still.
Erza didn't notice him at all. Instead, she stayed standing under the tree and stared out to the empty streets of Mongolia
No one will hear me sing right….. She thought.
Opening her mouth, she quietly sang through the lyrics of her favourite song…
You shout it loud, but I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud, not saying much
I'm criticized, but all your bullets ricochet
You shoot me down, but I get up
With a more confident voice, she continued the song. Jellal just watched and listened with awe.
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
Nothing was going to stop her now, so she belted through the rest of the song. He on the other hand, cringed at the next couple of verses.
Cut me down, but it's you who'll have further to fall
Ghost town and haunted love
Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones
I'm talking loud, not saying much
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
Stone hard, machine gun
Fired at the ones who run
Stone hard, as bulletproof glass
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
Completing her song, she had finally expressed what was held inside her all this time. The song was dedicated to him, to Jellal, for all those times he had shot her down with his cold criticism or looks. She decided not to look back anymore, and continue looking ahead into the future.
Little did she know that Jellal too was looking ahead into the future.
Ahh! The more I listen to Titanium, the more I can relate it to Erza. Her and the armor she wears, like titanium. Unbreakable!
This is all from me! Review and tell me if it's going a bit weirdly or anything. I appreciate your reviews everyone!
