Review..
Disclaimer applied
Lucy, Gray, Natsu and Lisa were on a small restaurant at the resort.
"Wow, you really are hungry." Lisa said as she watched Gray eat vigorously.
Gray didn't respond and kept on chewing.
"You're looking more like Natsu" said Lucy
"Wadya mean?" the dragon slayer reacted
Gray swallowed his last piece of his meal before speaking "It's because we didn't have food on the boat."
"Oh!" Lucy remembered
"Can you tell us now what happened with Erza on the boat?"
The ice-mage took a napkin and wiped his messy mouth
"Jellal." Only a single word left his mouth and it was enough for Lucy and Natsu to shriek.
"JELLAL!" the two mages yelled with their eyes wide open
"Yeah."
"How the hell is that even possible?" Natsu furiously asked with both of his hands messing up the table cloth.
"Well, a while ago.."
Flashback..
"There are lots of fishes here" happy said to the hungry ice-mage
"I don't want fish"
"Fine, go starve!"
"Cruel cat!"
"Shut up both of you!" the Titania yelled
"H-hai!" Happy and Gray behaved
Erza was still sight seeing using her binoculars. She carefully runs her head along with the material to admire the view of the ocean.
It's all blue.
"Oh."
She saw another sailboat not very far from where they are.
Must be another guest from the resort. She thought to herself.
Erza focused her binoculars to the sail boat she saw.
"I-Imposible" She stuttered as her eyes widened in disbelief.
She saw something, or someone. And all of a sudden she feels weak. Accidentally dropping the binoculars on her hand, she catches the attention of the two mages with her.
"Erza is there something wrong?" Happy asked
"What is it?" Gray followed
Erza tried her best to catch her breath
"Je-jellal"
After hearing, the remaining mages on the boat had their eyes widened too.
"What's up with him?" Gray asked
"He's here." She points to the direction of the sailboat nearby
"Isn't he dead?" Happy placed a paw over his head and tried to see where she was pointing.
"It's probably someone else." Gray tried calming himself.
"No." She replied in a calm tone
"It's him. I'm sure."
Gray rushed to where Erza was standing and grabbed the binoculars which fell on the ground.
He quickly positioned it in front of his eyes and drove it to the direction Erza said.
After a few seconds, "Oh!" Gray suddenly twisted his head to face Erza
"Jellal's alive?" yelled Happy. Gray nodded
"We have to go, now." Gray insisted
"Fine. You go." She replied without glancing back on him
"What are you talking about? You're coming with us."
"I'll stay."
"Erza! Jellal have almost killed you and flame boy once!" He yelled aloud
"Shut up he can hear you."
Gray ignored what she said. "We're gonna keep you away from that jerk!"
"Yes Erza." Happy agreed.
"I said both of you leave." She demanded
"No."
"Now."
"Erza! Would yo-"
Gray paused after noticing Jellal's boat drifting nearer to them
"He heard us." Erza whispered
"Let's go!" Happy yelled, he was terrified
Gray was about to stir the boat when Erza held his hand. He faced her.
"Please, trust me on this. I need to talk to him alone" Erza begged.
"E-erza.." She looked straight to his eyes.
Only a few moments passed by.. "Happy!"
Gray signaled the cat to summon his wings. "Let's go."
Happy had no choice but to follow. He summoned his wings and took a tight grip on Gray shoulders.
"Please be careful." Gray's last words before they flew back to the resort.
"I got this." Erza whispered, drawing a smile on her face
End of flashback.
"You Jerk!" Natsu slammed the table with his fists
"She almost died once because of that guy and now.." Natsu's body temperature increased, everyone in the restaurant felt the heat.
"Natsu.." Lucy whispered
Lisa has already left them by the time Gray started explaining. The mages didn't even notice her leave. Lucy did, but she pretended she didn't.
"We have to go, now." Natsu stood up and was about to leave but Gray took a grip on his shoulders
"Leave them alone."
"Idiot what are you-"
"I saw Erza's face. She was desperate to talk to him." Gray said
"That's still not an excuse." Natsu slips away from Gray's grip
"Natsu, you have to trust Erza." Lucy added
Natsu bowed his head, covering his face with his salmon hair. "Even if I want to, I can't" he said quietly.
-x-
"How have you been?" a gentle voice spoke
"Good." Erza answered
"I see." The man said
Silence fell for seconds..
"I'm sorry" both of them said in chorus
Erza slightly giggled. "I'ts alright."
Silence again..
"I, didn't forget about you"
Erza turned her head and faced the person beside her.
"I didn't either..Jellal."
She noticed him smiled a bit.
"He was the ice-mage right?" Jellal asked, referring to whom she was with a while ago
"Yes. Natsu and Lucy are also with me."
"I see."
"Why are you here Jellal?"
Jellal didn't reply
"The last time we've encountered, you tricked me and.. almost killed us." Erza said
"That wasn't me."
"What are you talking about? Wait..Why are you even alive?"
"You sound like you don't want me alive." Jellal smirked
"I'm serious Jellal."
He wiped off the grin on his face and told the whole story to Erza.
"I thought I was possessed by Zeref"
"Weren't you?"
"I wasn't" He cocked his head "Someone has been playing with me all along."
Erza's eyes widened "How are you so sure?"
"Because..is not dead."
Erza backed up out of shock. "What are you saying?"
"He's alive..i-it's hard to explain."
Erza decided to put that aside "You haven't answered my question." She held a hand on Jellal's shoulder
"What are you doing here..alive?"
"You were supposed to be dead, it's impossible for you to survive such an impact." She added
"I was dead."
Erza had wide eyes "Wha-"
"A young girl resurrected me using her magic."
Don't tell me..Wendy.. Erza remembered..
Flashback.. before team Natsu left for an S-class mission
It was a normal afternoon in the great guild of Fairy Tail
Noise never left the air. Yep, that's Fairy Tail alright.
Erza was seated on a table near the counter, enjoying her favorite dessert, strawberry cheesecake. Nothing catches her attention when she's eating one of this. Not even the fighting rival at her back, fire versus ice again.
Lucy's on the counter, sipping her usual order, orange juice. She's currently discussing some stuff with Levy..
"Hey, who's Jellal?" Levy asked
Lucy almost choked "Jellal?" she said aloud
Wendy, who was eating on the other side of the counter heard it. "Jellal? That's a familiar name" the girl whispered
"I overheard Gray.." Levy explained "Jellal was the possessed guy right?"
"Ah..yes, he was Erza's childhood friend."
"I see." Levy rested her arms on the counter "What does he look like?"
Lucy thought for a bit. "Well, Natsu said he had dark blue hair and black eyes.."
Wendy continued to eavesdrop
"..and he had this weird tattoo on his right eye."
Wendy's eyes widened. Could it be him? she thought
"Ah, Gray said that jerk almost killed Erza." Levy added
"Yeah" Lucy sighed "But don't worry, he's dead now."
Wendy heard it all. Unintentionally, she dropped the fork she was using. It's him!
Tears formed in her eyes and she rushed outside the guild. No one noticed her.
..
Finally, Erza's last bite on her desert.
As soon as she swallowed the last piece, she became aware of what was happening around her. She was like a blind and deaf person who experienced a miracle and suddenly could hear and see. lol.
She looked behind her.. "NATSU! GRAY!"
The fighting rivals eventually stopped and leaned on each other like bestfriends. "Y-yes Erza?"
Erza smirked. "You two get along well."
"H-hai!"
Erza thought there was nothing to do in the guild anymore so she decided to go home.
"I'll see you tomorrow, we'll leave early for the mission." She informs team Natsu
"Sure"
"Alright!"
"Okay."
"Aye!"
They waved goodbye.
Erza have just gone out of the guild when she heard sobbing. She looked to the direction of the noise and saw Wendy.
She wasn't really the type that would comfort children but she heard Wendy's cries filled with sadness and anger and..guilt.
She walked to her. "What's wrong?"
Wendy looked up to her.
"E-erza-san" She wiped her tears
"I've done something wrong!" She started crying again.
