Chapter 10: Winners May Lose Too

Weeks passed by and everyday she teased him and provoked him, he never slept yet Erza fed him well and gave him enough water every day. She was enjoying this and it was even better because he couldn't do anything to stop her!

Until one day, she would have wished she had killed him.

Mirajane explain to Jer everything he should know at his now grown age, he understood why her mother was in pain when they were on Nirvana and also everything Erza had been through in the Tower of Heaven as a child and grown up too.

When it was clear he wanted to kill his father, but Erza had him locked up with her in the third floor. He knew what her mother was doing to his father and hated it, how could she lower to his league? His mother and him hadn't talked for weeks because he avoided her as much as he could.

Erza didn't try that hard to talk with him, she was having too much fun with her toy to worry about her son.

A normal afternoon Erza was using Jellal as target practice with her swords. She was preparing to throw another one when the door exploded scaring her and making her throw the sword aimlessly, he caught his breath and closed his eyes. Fortunately for Jellal the sword had missed his family jewels for a millimeter.

He sighed a breath of relief and narrowed his eyes looking at Erza "Damn, I missed!" she said and smiled at him. "Erza!" her friends shouted and ran to her.

"I'm busy here" she said annoyed, they looked at Jellal who had a nervous expression. There was one sword on each side of his neck and one on top of his head. Swords were nailed in his shoulders and down five swords on each arm and one on each hand. One down his ribcage barley missing vital points, three in his thighs and finally one on each foot.

They looked back at Erza with eyes widened and jaws on the floor, she innocently asked "What?" "E-Erza…the man is covered in blood…" Lucy trailed off "Don't worry he's a tough guy" she said looking at him, he was inspecting the swords like a little kid "See" she reassured her and Lucy looked away.

"Erza, don't lower to his level" Gray said "He's not in pain!" she said desperately and walked to Jellal with another sword in hand, he gulp. She touched his jugular with her sword, his jaw clenched and Erza pushed the sword below his ribcage further until the handle, Jellal shut his eyes and tightened his jaw refusing to scream or move so the blade on his jugular wouldn't kill him "You see, no complain" she smiled, a sweat drop felt from his forehead.

"STOP!" Natsu roared "HE DOESN'T DESERVE THIS!" the red head chuckled "He deserves worse"

"Maybe if you give him a chance, you love him!" Erza's face turned dead serious "A thin line divides love and hate" she said and Lucy looked away once more.

Jer entered the room with a sword in hand "But hate and love are farther away" he said activating Meteor and rushed to his father ready to end his life.

The next moments happened in slow motion, everyone's face shocked and trying to stop him but he was way too fast. Erza's eyes widened in panic and his sword was centimeters away from Jellal's chest so she was useless.

When suddenly everything started to vanish in thin air. Everything when to the sky and everyone passed out.

A faded voice was heard in her ears, she blinked slowly trying to focus "Wake up…" the voice sounded clearer each time and she blinked again eyes adjusting. Wendy froze up.

"Heal my body or I'll kill him!" she heard Jellal's voice, her heart stopped, Jer face was troubled as he fought his father's arm that was suffocating him. She doubted because she knew if she healed Jellal he will go after Erza, but Jer had a lost valuable years of his life and it was cruel to end his shot life.

"Your call" Jellal said and pressured his son's neck, he was going to crack it slowly and Jer screamed "FINE!" she finally said, Jellal smirked and drop his son on the floor, he was unconscious.

Wendy fully healed his body but the blood all over him remained and looked creepy but she had done her job so it was enough. No scars remained in his body but one.

He looked deep in her eye with dazzling emerald eyes and placed a hand softly on her cheek, her guard was down for a second and it was all it took for Jellal to smash her head on the ground, knocking her out.

"Thank you" he said smiling and left to go after his Erza with an evil laughter.

He had walked through halls for hours and was starting to lose his cool until he finally spotted scarlet locks. He smiled and kept walking she was walking to him without noticing him. She was going to pass right by him not even looking at him and that kind of bothered him a bit.

He wrapped his arm around her hips and in a quick motion he had her pinned to the wall "Found you" he said a few millimeters away from her face and pressed his body against hers, one of her arms was trapped by Jellal's arm and he held her wrist firmly to the wall. She was now totally defenseless.

Jellal looked amused but there was something strange about her. The look in her eyes was on fire, a prefect killer's glare "LET GO OF ME!" she demanded, and he chuckled and nuzzled in her neck "What if I refuse?" "I'LL KILL YOU" she said dead serious.

"I like your new looks" he said ignoring her threat. Her hair was sort of curly and her clothes were…revealing.

"Yet this scarf is annoying…" he said looking in her eyes that remained stone cold. He closed his eyes and slowly closed up to kiss her lips. Their lips were about to make contact when he suddenly stopped and looked at her face.

There was no blush or racing heartbeat and that look in her eyes…
