[WARNING: Chapter is going to be a little dark… stick with it ok. Haha.]
Harsh winds twisted and turned blowing the young president's hair in all sorts of directions. Clouds covered the night sky like a blanket of smoke that not even the North Star was bright enough to shine through. If it was not for the little bits of lights that escaped from the street lamps, it would have too dark to see a thing.
Erza made her way swiftly down the night street, wanting to get back home as fast as she could. She had been in a late meeting with the student council and after that made a trip to the grocery store to pick up a few things. She did not expect it to get so dark in such a hurry.
From the corner of her eye she noticed a group of people starting to walk behind her. From the sounds of their mumbling, she could tell that they were men. Erza clutched her groceries tightly and picked up her pace. The group of men behind her was making her nervous and she had all the right reasons to be.
"Yoo baby, you looking for a good time?" One of the men called out, voice dripping with pure lust.
Erza clenched her teeth and quickened her pace. Disregarding them was the best move at the moment. She could turn around and beat the hell out of them. Shoot, she was far from a pushover. But they outnumbered her three to one. Common sense screamed that she should avoid a physical confrontation at the moment. She ignored them and sped up, hoping they would leave her alone.
The men noticed Erza increased her speed and also started walking much faster, trying to close the gap between them and the young president.
"Slow down pretty lady, we're not going to bite" another one of the men said. The group laughed as they started jogging trying to get into arms reach of the teen.
Erza was practically in a full-fledged sprint now. She was not one to show fear but she was evidently scared. She turned back to look how much she had separated herself and noticed the men were also running after her. In fact they were gaining on her, mainly due to the fact that her groceries were slowing her down.
Not looking where she was going, Erza collided into something head-on and fell onto the floor hard. Lying on her back, she tried to push herself up and clear her vision as to what the hell she ran into. The contents of her groceries were now spilled all on the concrete; their fate apparently was never meant to reach home. Standing in front of her was said object that she crashed into...
It was another man, a little bit bigger than the others. He was dressed in all black clothing and thanks to a hood he was wearing and the darkness of the night, Erza could only see the sinister smile on his face.
Erza started to crawl away but then bumped into a pair of legs behind her. It belonged to one of the men that were chasing her. He yanked her up off the floor and held her from behind.
"Let go of me!" Erza screamed. She started flinging her hands wildly but the two other men who were also chasing her grabbed each of her arms. Erza continued to scream and started kicking making it impossible for the three men to keep her under control.
"Shut up BITCH!" One of them yelled. The guy from behind picked her up and slammed her onto the floor knocking the air out of Erza.
"You imbeciles, hold her the fuck down. Two of you assholes hold one of her legs each and the other hold her hands above her head" the big guy who Erza ran into ordered. He was apparently the guy in charge.
"Yes Boss!"
Erza tried to struggle but the slam that she suffered had done a lot of damage. She was not prepared for the hard impact that the concrete provided. The three men easily held her down, exactly as the leader had asked. Struggling to break free was now impossible.
"So bitch…" the leader drawled on. "We can do this the hard way or the easy way." He walked up beside her and leaned over so he was in a dominant position. "What's it going to be?"
Erza glared at the man and spat in his face. There was no fucking way in hell this was going to be easy! She was going to fight with every ounce of energy she had.
"Little BITCH!" He slapped Erza across the face… hard. "You obviously don't know your position. We're going to FUCK you silly!"
Erza's eyes widened and fear was now more than evident in her features.
"Nooo! Please! Someone help me!" Erza screamed but another slap to the face stopped her from shouting out anymore. Tears started falling as the men started ripping off her clothes. She made another attempt to scream but a quick punch to the stomach stopped her instantly.
She was losing her voice, the only weapon she had at the moment. The loss of air from the punch, the slam to the concrete, and the slaps to the face was all taking its toll on her. The men above her laughed as they removed the last bit of Erza's clothes, leaving her on the naked floor in nothing but her undergarments. Shivering and cold, Erza had nothing to separate her naked skin from the intense winds, and even worse than that, from the sinister and lustful eyes above her.
One of the men whistled and the others just watched on lecherously.
"You've got somebody there girlie. We're going to make the most of this."
Erza could only whimper in pain, tears continuing to fall endlessly. She could not find her voice. She was now becoming desperate. The teen crossed her legs and crossed her arms over breasts trying to cover as much of her body as she could.
"Pleassseee stop" she managed to mumble out. "Pleassee… I don't want this…"
The men all looked at each other and then laughed some more. Her tears only excited them. There was absolutely no way they were going to turn back now. Laid out in front of them, tear stuck and all, was an incredibly hot young woman. They were going to make sure she never forgot this night. Erza's pleads would not be heard by them. They were too far too deep into their own lust to see any signs of stopping.
"Should have thought about that before you spat on me whore!" The boss shouted. "I'm going to fuck you until you bleed that…"
"GET THE FUCK OFF HER!"
Before the men could turn around one of the guys got kicked so hard he was knocked unconscious. The next two underlings were taken out just as quickly. The leader did not even get a chance to put up a fight. His face met the intruder's fist in a matter of seconds. Erza slowly raised her head trying to make out what was going on. Her eyes widened, seeing a figure she knew all too well. Even with tears blurring her vision, she knew it was that idiot.
"Gray!" Erza cried out and slowly made her way onto her feet, losing balance and leaning against the wall for support. She was too weak to stand on her own. Her legs were giving out on her. But just seeing the sight of Gray was giving her some boost of energy to at least get her on her feet. She had no idea where she had found the voice to scream his name, but somehow she had managed to shout it. There was an enormous unknown feeling in her chest but she did not give a damn what it was right now. She was just so overwhelmed with happiness to see him. Out of all people… he had somehow come to save her.
Gray was too enraged to even hear Erza call out to him. He had gone berserk. He kept punching and kicking the living hell out of the men on the floor. And when one went unconscious from the pain, he started on the next one. He wanted to permanently injure one of those guys, especially the one that was hovering over his Erza. When he was going to be finished with them, they would barely be able to walk let alone put their hands on another woman again.
"Gray! Stop! You might kill one of them!" Erza screamed. She ran and embraced Gray from the behind, placing her tear stricken face against his back. "Stop Gray, It's not worth it!" As much as she wanted to see those men suffer, killing them would only land Gray in trouble as well.
The warm contact against Gray's back instantly snapped him out of his rage. His anger had almost made him forget the reason why he was trying to slaughter those men in the first place. He turned and embraced Erza tightly, pressing her small frame against his chest. He placed his chin on the top of her head, and pulled her ever so close to his body.
"I-I was so scared… I d-didn't think anyone would-"
"Shhh" he hummed cutting her off as he tightened his embrace on the scarlet haired teen. "I'm here now red… let's go home."
Erza just nodded, and wiped her tears with Gray's shirt. She looked up at him and made an attempt to smile. It was a little broken, but to Gray, her smile was just as beautiful as always. He returned her smile with a grin and it was then that he realized he was holding her in nothing but her bra and panties. His face turned slightly red as he realized how close they were as well. He made one last squeeze trying to remember the milky feel of her smooth back and broke the embrace. He took off his shirt and handed it to her.
"Here, put this on."
Erza's face was soon brighter than a tomato's. She quickly put on his button-up shirt, now aware of how exposed she was to him. Gray then swept her legs off the floor and picked her up bridal style, set on carrying Erza back home.
"Gr-Gray!" Erza stammered, she was completely caught by surprise. "I-I can walk!"
The boy smirked and winked at her. "Relax red, like I said before, I'm here now."
Erza's face turned a deeper shade of red if that was possible. How dare he tease her like this! But she decided to just shut up and let him carry her. He did save her after all, and her body was in pain. She just wanted to forget what happened, and somehow, just being in his arms was doing just that. She crossed her arms and looked away putting up her infamous act of indifference; though, she couldn't help stealing glances at him, as a small blush crept up her face.
"So what are you up for? We can watch a scary movie, a funny one, or whatever, it's your choice."
"Hmmm..." Erza placed a finger on her lip thinking really hard. "I wanna see something funny."
"National Lampoons sounds good?"
"Which one?"
"The Van Wilder one" Gray answered. "It's about college life."
"Greeaaattt" Erza dragged on teasingly. She really didn't mind which one it was, whatever he picked would be fine. She just felt like asking was all. She always felt the need to know things. Being student president required that of her.
Erza finished making some popcorn and hopped onto a seat next to Gray. She was wearing one his shirts and some gym shorts of his. Where his roommates were, she had no idea but she didn't feel the need to ask. He started the movie and they began to watch, laughing and sitting quietly all the way. Erza was more than delighted with this. After the day's events, sitting back, and forgetting all that happened, it was just perfect. She looked towards Gray, he seemed like he was in a trance. Did he like the movie that much? She smiled, he was not brightest, nor probably the most lovable person, but she slowly found herself liking him a whole lot more. Especially after he saved her...
Erza's smile vanished. Her thoughts ran back to earlier that night.
"Hey Gray"
"Hmmm" he turned to her. Erza looked down, trying to find the right words. She wanted him to understand her completely.
"Let's not ever mention to anyone what happened today."
Gray watched her intently. He understood what she meant. She wanted to forget, erase, delete, just completely blank out everything that happened prior to reaching his apartment.
"Don't tell anyone ok. I don't want the others to worry or whatever. It's done with now, let's forget about it."
"Red..." Gray started. Erza looked up, now focused on him entirely. "I have no idea what you're talking about."
Erza was speechless. She raised a brow in utter confusion. Was he being serious or joking? Gray instantly started laughing and Erza crossed her arms and glared at him. This only further caused Gray to laugh even harder.
"I love that look red." Erza's glare if possible, would have bore a hole through Gray's skull. How could he be such a jerk about it? She balled up a fist and aimed for his face but he caught it.
"Seriously, nothing happened today. After school, you just decided to come over and watch a movie with your beloved friend Gray, riiigghhhtt?"
Erza now catching on wore a sheepish grin on her face. He was teasing her. He's always teasing her. That's so like him. Always making light of the situation.
"I don't know about beloved, but your right." She smiled at him, lowering her first. But just like that he ruined their little moment.
"For some president, you're awfully slow."
"Shut up!"
