Erza managed to keep up her plan for a week without Irene noticing but for Irene she picked up that Erza wasn't talking about anything, not ever school so Irene wondered what it truly was that Erza was thinking about.
She got her answer very quickly.
Irene was sitting in her office and was looking at a letter that the Spriggan Academy had sent her.
Her eyes narrowed when she read what was on the letter.
Dear Ms. Belserion,
Erza has missed a week's worth of all of her classes. If this continues the Spriggan Academy will have to kick Erza out and have her to repeat her junior year of high school.
Words cannot describe how pissed Irene was to read that letter. She then decided to check on Erza and saw that Erza was sleeping then she looked over at the desk to see Erza's laptop then she went to it.
Her eyes narrowed when she saw some of the messages that Erza had with a friend of hers. She read how Erza didn't want to live with her and how her friend told her that she had the right to have her own custody.
Irene stood up then left out of the room.
'I refuse to let you leave, Erza.'
The next day was the same routine for Erza.
Irene dropped her off at the school but this time Irene slowly followed Erza to the hospital. Irene watched but then she noticed that Erza was meeting a girl there and had went inside.
"What are you here for Erza?"
Elsewhere
Kyouka and Seilah were both in a car together and Kyouka narrowed her brow.
"Minerva is starting to make me wait. Where is her little friend?"
Seilah got on her tracking device then spoke.
"The little friend is inside the hospital, it seems that she's getting some sort of checkup."
Kyouka smiled.
"So it was a success after all. I wonder why Minerva never mentioned it."
"What shall we do?"
"Let's get the girl and I'll remind Minerva of her mission."
"She's on the second floor."
"Let's go."
With Erza
Erza was still visiting Lucy but she left on time to go back to her school.
When she got there she was picked up by Irene who didn't say anything to her which Erza thought was rather strange. She knew not to let it bother her but something seemed off as if Irene was upset about something.
When they got home Irene looked at Erza.
"Wait for me in the living room."
Erza wondered what was going on but then she got her answer when she saw Irene returning with her laptop.
"So you skipped school and went to the hospital for a week?"
Erza frowned.
"Yes."
"Why?"
"One of my friends were attacked."
"And do you honestly think that because you skipped school to visit a friend was alright? Why would you lie to me about that? If you just told me ahead of time that you were worried for your friend that was attacked I would have taken you to visit them."
"Well maybe I wouldn't have to lie about what I did if you hadn't just taken my previous life from me. You claim on how much of a great school Spriggan Academy."
"And it is."
"Not from what I saw. I hate that damn place. I never wanted to go from the start."
"Erza."
"What's your problem anyway?"
"What do you mean?"
"Why now? All my life you weren't there and now that I'm close to an age where I can be on my own you decide to show up in my life. Do I look like a damn coat to you?"
"Watch your tone Erza, I'm still your mother."
"I've seen dogs give birth but that doesn't make them mothers. I enjoyed the life I was having until you showed up and ruined it."
"…."
"How would you feel if all your life you didn't have a mother and then one day some stranger shows up and claims to be your parent and expect you to accept them? I'm sure as hell that's not going to happen. I hate you, you're not my mother."
With that Erza left out of the house and Irene was frozen where she stood.
"You hated me that much?"
Tears then streamed down Irene's cheeks and she dropped to her knees.
Elsewhere
Minerva was walking alone in a dark place. She had gotten a text message from Yukino to meet her there. She thought it was strange but since it was Yukino she had little hope that Yukino would talk to her.
When she spotted a figure her eyes widened when she saw that it was Yukino.
"Yukino."
Yukino lifted her head only to flinch in fear when she saw Minerva. Minerva's eyes widened to the reaction she got.
"Yukino…."
Minerva then untied the cloth that was around Yukino's mouth.
"Where am I?"
Minerva raised a brow.
"You told me to meet you here."
"No I didn't. I was kidnapped."
Minerva then heard another voice.
"She's right, Minerva."
Minerva looked behind her to see Kyouka and Seilah coming into the room.
Kyouka had a smirk on her face.
"You were taking your time on your mission so I had to remind you on what you had to lose. Seilah and I were both pleased that to know that it was more than one person that you had to lose."
Minerva blinked.
"More than one?"
Seilah looked at her.
"Yes. This lover of yours is with child."
Minerva couldn't believe it then she looked at Kyouka.
"Looking for Erza was more than I thought it would be."
Kyouka looked away.
"True. However you have been rather ignoring your mission Minerva, so how about this."
"…."
Kyouka looked at Minerva.
"Your lover will be staying in our HQ until you do your mission to get me Erza. If you fail you will lose either your lover or child in an instant."
Minerva closed her eyes then Seilah spoke.
"You have three days to find Erza."
With that Seilah took Yukino away and Minerva had left to search for Erza out of desperation for Yukino and their unborn child.
'Just wait for me, Yukino. I promise that I'll get you and our child out to safety.'
