Chapter 7
Fuck you I don't feel like proof reading this at one in the morning. Happy ****ing Snoggletog
Ezra pulled a hood over her red hair. Guards were in the town with a wanted post of her, asking people. No one identified her yet. Which was good, she need to get to the forest and find Lucy. Ezra stroked her arm, tracing the fairy tail mark. 'Betraying a fairy tail member, killing a fellow member, these were things punishable by death in the Fairy tail code.' Ezra was so busy in thought that she didn't notice the guard approaching her.
"Excuse me miss?" He pardoned his interruptions and held up a sketch of Ezra "Have you seen this woman?" Ezra bent her head lower and nodded. She pointed a finger to a far away booth
"Yes that way, she was gathering food and supplies, what are her crimes" Ezra spoke in a shrill voice. The guard listed off the charges and signaled the other guards to her false finger pointing and Ezra slipped into the shadowed alleys. She ran down the dark pathes that led to the forestry of the Hearthica. Her fingers wraped around her cosmic sword. Her arm still burned but she ignored the pain. Right now she needed to find the blonde girl. Ezra found her self on the edge of the White princesses garden.
"Dammit, I forgot that the path trails by here." Ezra cursed herself as she crouched down below the hedge. Ezra snuck along the edging, her senses on high alert. A hand fell on her shoulder and Ezra whipped around, sword drawn ready to attack. It was Natsu. Ezra sighed and drew back her sword from his neck.
"Ezra how are you here? They didn't send you after me did they?" Natsu slunked back a little more. Ezra shook her head and waved him over. Natsu gladly snuck closer and bent down.
"Natsu we need to find her, the girl at the cabin, I can't really remember but it's coming to me. Now we have to be sneaky. This means we can't let them know we are here or it's both our heads" Ezra ushered him. Natsu nodded in agreement and the two started sneaking along the hedge line. Their trip was almost cut short when a guard stumbled upon them. Ezra leaped forward and slashed his torso and then his throat. The man fell and the two ran along the pathway. Ezras' cloak flicked behind her. When guards came across their path either Ezra would slash them or Natsu punch them in the throat. Due to the sudden commotion they were causing a group of guard were tailing them. But if the went into the Hearthica forest they wouldn't be able to follow them. They were almost clear just hundred paces away when a royal elite guard group popped up right in front of them and the white Princess. She held out her arms to Natsu.
"Come back to me darling, I'll give you anything you desire." she used her charming voice. Natsu snarled and bolted towards her. He slashed her face with his bare hand, as Lisanna started bending to her knees and clutching her. Ezra used Lisanna's back as a step and lept of her and jumped onto the guard flat helmets using them like stepping stones. Ezra watched Natsu make a sharp right and climb into a bushy tree. She did the same and Natsu grabbed her hand and yanked her up quickly. Ezra wrapped her cloak around the two of them to cover them. The troublesome duo watched as three guards carried the Princess back to her castle and the rest proceeded into the forest. Natsu looked over to Ezra and she nodded. The two leapt off quietly and followed the bush line avoiding the elites. They didn't have time for them right now.
Lisanna lied in her bed. Her face was contorted with anger. How could the love in her eyes do that, claw her face leaving it permanently disfigured. Disgusting. This wasn't the Natsu she stole from the pink princess. Those months of him moping around because he couldn't see his big chested bimbo! How he kept saying that Lucky was his one and only. Lisanna looked at her fresh scares. They weren't that bad but now she wouldn't be able to be the prettiest in the land. A sick twisted grin spread across her face.
"Councilmen!" She yelled at the top of her lungs. The white robbed man almost tripped as he scurried in to heed his Majesty's commands. He panted and fixed himself before walking in dignified. He tapped his quill on his paper.
"Yes your Majesty, I am here to voice your orders to all the kingdom. What is your concern thy of royal Blood." He bowed respectfully. Lisanna sat up in her white bed. Her back straightened and her figure poised. Lisanna turned to him showing the three claw marks on her left cheek.
"It is my face, how can I rule with a face like this? I'M HIDEOUS!" she dove under her fine blankets.
"Thy majesty tis only a flesh wound I'm sure thy's face will be the prettiest in the kingdom!" he exclaimed.
"Your right," Lisanna slowly emerged from her blankets. The councilmen nodded "because I am putting out a new law that all woman's faces must more disfigured then the queens!" Lisanna's face showed no kindness. The councilmen backed away terrified. The queen had become insane, but she was still the ruler of the land.
Lisanna stood before the village before her, on her marble stone balcony. Her castle was pure white, only those who knew it was tainted red could see it on the stone. Lisanna wore a ruffled dress made of silk. Still that vanilla colour consistency. A veil of white covered her face and dangled above the sapphire broach on her neck. Her white laced fingers tapped on the stone waiting for the towns people to all gather. She noted all her guards in position. Ready to block and woman from escaping. The crowd had settled down and they awaited her majesties announcement.
"Welcome everyone! My precious Villagers. Your princess was not asked for that much has she?" she asked. They all replied in the rehearsed 'No' No one daring to say yes except under their breath. "Well Today, your Princess was attacked and scared but I am brave enough to come out here and decree a new law. That only applies to woman..." She lifted her veil revealing her scarred face. People gasped at the hideous markings on here face. "The new law is that all Woman's faces must be more Disfigured then the Princess's" The crowd gasped.
Everyone ran at full force.
