AN: Sorry for the wait! I got stuck in a rut and I couldn't write this, my bad. Any who hope this makes it up. Sorry if there are any grammar mistakes, I don't have a beta and I'm too lazy to go back and read through it thoroughly. (Insert Sigh)
Recap: I stared at it. Blue clear water clung onto my hand like an infant to a mother. I stared blankly at it. "What the?"
It hardened slightly as if trying to solidify the idea that I water on my hand. Natsu struggled to get up igniting a renewed fire. I gave him a hand. He smiled goofily, why was he smiling? "That was a nice warm up."
What. Him getting pinned down was just a warmup? What the. He glanced at me, fire burning in his eyes. Ah, what the heck? Let's go! By now, we could see the army of Erzas. Each one in different armor. Natsu rolled his head, satisfying cracks could be heard. I breathed in, a bath would be nice right now. I shrugged that comment off before exhaling. Ok, I rested my hand on my hips. I traced over a key slightly. I dug out a random key. Scorpio. He appeared smiling before taking a glance at the army. "I understand," he replied immediately.
Natsu nodded before we charged head on. I pulled out a whip hopefully enough to hold my ground. The world turned into a blur of yells. We wouldn't last long, it was a fact. But we would die trying, we had nothing anchoring us. We were either brave, or very very stupid. I jumped out of the way where a sword would've hit. The pool leaked in my mind remind me of the cool wet substance. I drew upon that feeling yearning for the calmness. Moisture from the air left leaving my lips parched as water balled up in my hand. It vibrated as if anticipating what was going to happen. Then, enormous pain was left in my side. I lay on the floor in a heap dazed, and breathless. The water gone, I tried to conjure it once more, but the pain groused and increased. I focused on getting up as I glanced up, once more reminded. Something welled up before it shattered.
Remember it's not her it's him. Remember the tattoo.
Anger coursed through my veins as I remembered what he did. I stood up and snapped the whip at his hip. He swatted it away with a smirk gracing his lips. I could feel my blood boiling ready to burst. He laughed at my witty attempts before lunging at me. I jumped at the side surprised. His fist grazed me but still left a cut from the ferocity of the punch. I jumped to the left analyzing the battle around me. I jerked my head searching for him once I let my guard down. He disappeared as I was soaking in the area. Taking this opportunity, I recalled an azure colored ball. A wave of security, confidence, and pride rushed through me. I remembered the slippery substance, the fragile jello like substance, dancing with the rhythm. Something slammed into me. I toppled over like building blocks. A kick the ribs followed. I grunted trying to stand, my bones protested in pain. The muscles in my bones felt like lead, weighing me down. My bones felt tender and sore. The aching in my arms increased feeding the fires of hell as someone stepped on my arm. I bucked furiously attempting to get him off. He smirked before putting more weight, I whimpered not yet ready to give him the satisfaction. I gripped onto his leg with my other free hand digging my nails into his leg. He gritted his teeth before positioning to kick my arm away. I took that moment to tug as hard as my bony arms could muster. He fell on his back with a thud. I quickly got up and kicked him in the stomach. He groaned as I punched him in the face. He fell unconscious as I looked for Scorpio. He was doing pretty well I pulled another key taking a deep breath. I leaned against a tree as I picked a random key. Loke. I glared at him seeing a flirt upon his lips. His look of surprised passed quickly before a wind swept through them depleting most of my strength. I held up a hand and swatted Loke away. His grim expression said it all as I sank down. Breaths, take them in remember. I shivered, my breathing shaking. I quivered sitting there, surprisingly no one noticed me. Why were we even fighting? Did we want to die that bad? I sighed before berating myself. I need to learn how to summon that thingy again. "Still trying fool?" A snarky voice cut through my thoughts.
I grit my teeth, don't act rash. Lay low. Let him think you're too weak to reply, I groaned weakly for the effect. He smirked looming closer, he gripped my shirt and hefted me up. I squirmed helplessly. Hopefully this would work. He wrapped his bony fingers around my neck as I struggled. His grin widened as he saw the horror in my eyes. He tightened his grip before I quickly wrapped my whip around his elbow and yanked it against where the joint wasn't supposed to bend. A sickening yet satisfying crack sounded as I gulped in air. I coughed before staring at him. He returned the glare and winced. His arm twisted the wrong way as he grunted quietly before snapping it back in place. What the hell? His lips curled before I jerked the whip into his face. Surprise flickered across his face as he went down. I dragged the whip over his face quickly. I breathed raggedly catching my breath. I searched the battlefield, it seemed like they were toying with us, one on one. Seeing who could take us down. Something rose up to my throat, who knew people could be this sick and, and cruel. Of course, it's life. But this, was taking it too far.
Use that rage, kill them, all of them! Tear their throats watch as his last breath leaves his lips. Savor each cry like a memory.
I sprinted towards the nearest enemy throat punching them. They grabbed my fist and twisted. I screamed before swiping my leg to kick them. Recognition flickered in her eye as something troubled her- him. It wasn't her, it was him. That bastard of a wizard. I yanked her forward telling pain to screw off. It throbbed painfully before it shut up as my hand was out of his grasp. I threw up my knee hitting his face. They yelped before snapping out of it. His stance said, "Come and get it." I charged leaning right before twisting left and landing a kick. They groaned as they grabbed on my leg and yanked me forward. They jutted out their elbow hitting me in the nose. A small trail fell down before it was smeared away. I licked my lips cleaning it. I had barely registered it until he had yanked my head back making me face the sky. His voice whispered, "Not so strong anymore hm?" His voice was gruff as if it was never used.
"Go screw yourself old man," I retorted.
They loosened their grip as if confused. I jammed my elbow into his stomach making him flop backwards. I spun with my whip lashing him in the side. He grunted before tackling me. His brown eyes pierced me as he sat on my torso pinning my arms. He leaned in ready to whisper dark secrets before I mashed my head into his. "OW!" his voice yelped.
"Like I said before, screw yourself," I stated before rolling over. I pressed my knee into his stomach before rolling up the whip and punching him with it. "This is for my guild," A smack was heard, one knee on his stomach, one on his arm, and just for safety precautions one on his neck. I pressed into his stomach before sending a punch. "And this is for the person you took from me, Erza!" I punched him in the eye where the tattoo was. The bitch deserved it. That was when a punch sent me flying away. I coughed as I landed on my side with a branch bruising it. I shifted it away. He shifted up not defeated yet and stood up. "That all you got?" He taunted.
That's it!
Rushing water consumed my mind, water shooting out was the last thing I saw before it projected out. At the same time, a loud beating was heard before a squeak was shouted, "No!"
A blur zipped in front of it despite it's small frame. It was hit before being blown into him. It disappeared. Wait, who was that? Shit. Don't tell me. It was…..
Erza's Pov:
Something flickered at the corner of my eye, on instinct I turned and grabbed their hand. I twisted ready to break it off when, her blonde hair registered in my brain. Something triggered. Did I know her? They swiped at my shin, I yelped surprised losing my balance. They yanked me forward and lifted their knee up hitting me right between the eyebrows. It knocked me off my serene state before I backtracked. I chose a defensive staff before quirking an eyebrow. That seemed to piss her off even more, I grimaced internally somewhere in my mind. They angled right as I prepared to counter attack. At the last second they twisted and kicked me in the side. I grabbed on it like my life depended on it before exacting my revenge. I nailed them in the nose with a satisfying small crack. Blood oozed out and something weird inside me internally cried. Before she had time to adapt, I disappeared behind her before grabbing her hair. "Do I know you?" I inquired.
"Go screw yourself old man," was her only response.
What? Was she blind? I felt an elbow connect with my gut and I coughed backing up. A sting on my left hip made me see the whip retreating to its master. I returned the pain by charging at her. I sat on her stomach before pinning her hands down. I was just about to say something when she flung her
head into mine. "OW!" I yelped.
"Like I said before screw yourself," she repeated before switching our positions. I felt pain boil into my wrist, neck, and stomach. "This is for my guild," was the only thing I registered before pain erupted on my face. The pain that seemed everywhere possessed me leaving me helpless. After a couple smacks a, "And this is for the person you took from me, Erza!" before a punch ensured. It sent black spots all over my vision as if they were having the time of their short lives. When she was breathing heavily on top I took that chance to ignore the pain and shove her off. She flew quite a distance away. During each of those smacks, flashes of remnants of us together. What the flip did this mean? How would I know? A flood of memories stuck together like spaghetti noodles. I couldn't get anything through the mush of it all. I stood up, there was one thing I could do. "I'm sorry." Something fluttered in front of me before a blue object pierced into my soul freezing my veins. It infected my being, and yet, there was something warm sinking in my chest. It glowed brightly as if trying to light a way in a dark room. It was very unsettling, what was this? Fatigue convinced me to sleep and I obliged welcoming the darkness.
AN: Please review and Review! :) Heads up, I won't be able to update over the weekends!
