Chapter 10

I am like so free now so why not type? ^^ And yes I copied from the manga… After all their reaction are mostly the same when it comes to that topic… Jellal would mope and Erza would be like living is the best… So why not copy?

They both stood frozen.

"Why so stiff? Don't you want your job?"

Erza quickly composed herself and glared, "Black fairy…Why are you here?"

"Because I am the client?" She laughed.

Erza bit her lips.

Jellal gritted out, "Are you toying with us?"

"Me? Of course! Every story needs a villain! So I'm just acting the part." the black fairy laughed, as she started prancing around, "Your job is to get rid of those bandits hiding in the mountains. Simple isn't it?"

The fairy was suddenly in front of Erza.

"Or you can skip this job and lose Jellal in the most horrible way possible." She purred into Erza's ear.

Erza clenched her fist and gritted her teeth, "Let's get it over and done with."

Jellal gave a worried looked before nodding and followed Erza out, ignoring the Fairy cruel laughter.

Erza and Jellal proceed to the foggy mountain with extreme caution.

"The air feels weird." Jellal whispered.

"Jellal, grab my hand… I don't want to lose you in this fog..." She whispered back.

Silence greeted her.

"Jellal?"

The hairs on her back started to stand. Fear course throughout her body.

She swallowed when she felt someone breathing down on her neck. She tightened the grip of her sword and spun around ex equipping to the flight armor.

A grinning man was behind her.

She tried to jump away but the man manages to grab her feet. He lifted his sword, swung it down on her thigh.

"AHHH!" Erza screamed as she kicked the man in the face. The man smiled instead of falling back.

"The fairy granted me so much power, how could such a weak kick hurt me?" The man laughed.

Erza eyes widened in shock but continued to kick the man.

Just when she thought her leg was a gone case, the man flew off her.

"You bastard." Jellal growled, his body glowed bright golden and he dashed towards the man in deadly speed, slamming the man directly in his face.

The man tried to get up only to be kicked by Jellal again.

"NO! I AM THE STRONGEST!" The man screeched as he ran towards Jellal, slashing the air blindly.

Jellal dodged the blows and attacked the man from behind.

The man continued screeching, "I am the most powerful. ALL SHOULD DIE!"

He then proceeded to attack Erza who was struggling to get up.

"DIIIIIIIEEEE!"

Jellal summons seven pillars of light from the sky and made it hit the man. The man collapsed onto the ground.

Jellal was stunned at his powers and guilt nearly overcame him but he shook it off.

"Jellal…The fairy mi…YOU'RE BLEEDING!" Erza exclaimed as she immediately started to examine Jellal head.

Jellal snorted, "You are the one who nearly loses her leg. I should be the one panicking."

He sighed as he knelt down to look at her wound.

"You will need stitches…Tch…If only I was more alert… This would not happened" Jellal muttered.

Erza smiled, "I'm fine…the fairy might be behind this… So let's just go back…"

"Yeah…"

They were turning back when the fog suddenly cleared. They were in a middle of a village. Some were crying, some sat on the floor dazed, some were fighting, most were dead…

"What…" Erza gasped.

"How dare you wish for him? If you did not wish for him, he would have been mine!" One lady was strangling another lady.

"I…could …say..th..the same …to you." The other lady gasped as she clawed around to be breath. Beside them was a man torn to two.

Jellal clammy hands grabbed hers. She tightened her grip.

"The fairy can't possibly did all of this right?" Jellal asked.

Erza gulped, "I don't think so…"

At the end of the village stood the black fairy, she had a tight smile on her face.

They approached her cautiously, walking past dead bodies and crying villagers.

Erza lifted her sword, wincing when she put her weight on her injured leg. Jellal held onto her, so she would not fall.

"I thought you did not have enough power to move on to another person?"

"I did not move onto another person… all of them are just…side characters to make the story more interesting."

"You." Erza growled as she ex equipped to her Heaven Wheel armor. She summoned ten swords and flung it toward the fairy before attacking the fairy herself.

The fairy grinned and Jellal collasped.

Erza stopped as she turned to Jellal.

"Jellal!"

Erza flew to Jellal's side, clutching his face.

"Now now, Why would you want to attack poor little me? I only granted their wish just like I granted yours…"

Jellal clutched his head, "Urgh…"

"Remember something, my dear?" The fairy smiled sweetly.

"Jellal…" Erza whispered as she inspected Jellal body for any wounds.

Jellal eyes fluttered open to stare at the fairy. He saw her face before…pain… fear…hatred…Zeref…Revive…

"You were there at the tower…" He whispered.

The fairy laughed, "I'm glad you remembered me."

Her tail started waving, "I should be going…Good bye."

She took one last look at the devastated village and she was gone, leaving the sack of money behind.

Erza forced Jellal to face her, "What do you mean she was at the tower?"

"I don't know… When I saved you…and I was…I saw her when I was there…" Jellal grimaced.

"Let's just go back… and get help for this village…" Erza sighed.

Jellal helped Erza up and they went out of the mountains.

Turns out, help was already on their way.

They were limping out when a group of people approached them.

"Oi, did you just come out from the village."

"Ah yes… We got attacked when we were inside…" Jellal replied.

"Then the report must be accurate…They are in trouble… and that cut look nasty…" he pointed to Erza's leg, "Medics! Bring her to the hospital!"

"No it is okay…"

"I insist."

"I SAID NO!" Erza roared.

They fell silent and moved away meekly.

Jellal chuckled, "You are really such a fierce lady."

Erza flushed pink, "I…I…"

"I like you…all the same…"
