Chapter XXXVII: Her Rage

(You should probably refer to chapter 35 :D)

Ultear stared at them, wondering why the hell they were at the lake. Together.While Gray had his mouth wide open, stunned to see her, as if she was a ghost from his past, Erza coolly glared at Ultear. Ultear smirked, before rowing her boat away from the pair. She started shaking her head, muttering under her breath, "Foolish." She knew that Gray wanted to escape, but there was no way that it was happening. She knew the lake well, as it was the place she always came to when she needed to reflect on things. Like how she had been when she was younger, how she was now, and how her mother had just abandoned her like that without warning. The only person she had now was her father, but he wasn't listening to her either.

Even if she didn't want to admit it, Ultear felt so alone. She had no one to count on, as friends seemed completely futile to her. All she had ever needed was given to her, and if someone tried to mess with her, she could get her revenge pretty easily. It was simple. Her life had already been planned out even before her birth. To this day, Ultear wondered what would have happened if she had stayed with her mother and Lyon and Gray. Would she have had a heart? She chuckled at the thought. No, Ultear was perfect at one thing, and it was to be heartless. She couldn't afford to be kind to others, or her whole life would have seemed completely pointless. She looked at what she had gotten for Gray, but it could wait.

Ultear was a weird person. Everyone knew her but nobody liked to go near her. The only person who had truly tried to venture in territories that others had failed to do so had been the hated name that Ultear did not like to mention, even in her thoughts. Erza Scarlet.How did it all go wrong?

Ultear waved goodbye at her mother, and tears started welling up in her eyes. Her father glared at her before slapping her, disgusted that she had turned so soft after staying with her mother. Ultear instantly stopped crying, vowing to never cry again. It was better that way. As soon as she went back to being daddy's little girl, she was lavished with gifts and she knew that anything she wanted was hers. She couldn't care less about materialisticpossessions, but she kept up the act to impress her father. He looked at her with pride when he saw her, and that made her happier than anything. She knew that she would have to carry the family name, as there was no one else who could inherit her father's property. That was why he was training her to become just like him, but she didn't know if she wanted it. Could she really become the perfect daughter?
Her father had ordered her to have minimal contact with her mother, so she cut off all ties with her and to make the pain of not having a mother, she called her a traitor and a cheat from that day on.. It was easier that way. Ultear grew up more sour, having to keep the act up for at least ten hours a day. The only time she could truly be herself when she went on her keyboard to play music, but her father soon forbade it, saying that it was irritating and stupid. In truth, it was because Ul had taught her and she had also taught Gray, which aggravated her father, for some reason. Every time he looked at Gray, it was like old memories stirred up in him, like seeing someone from his past. He completely despised Gray, but Ultear certainly didn't. He was kind to her, and when she had silently cried, he had been there for her and comforted her during her pain. He hadn't asked why, or how he could help, but he just stayed there silently watching, which had suited Ultear perfectly. The reason she had cried was because she had never wanted to have to face her parents divorcing. She knew it was inevitable, and she also knew about the ongoing abuse that her father had inflicted on Ul, but she had tried to ignore it and fake that everything was okay, so she could have a normal family. But no. The plan went up in flames. And what was she supposed to choose? Having to suffer because there was never enough money or living in luxury? The latter seemed much more appealing. Gray had been kind to her, so he was one of the few people she didn't despise. Even though she clearly showed affection for him, her father always looked at him with contempt, as if he disliked everything about him. Ul always looked at him strangely too, but Ultear could never quite place what it was. All she knew was that Gray was the final straw in her parent's relationship. She should have hated him for that, but she didn't.
The years went by, and Ultear became eleven, having a groupie that always protected her when she was in class, making snarky jokes and being nasty to all of the other girls in their year. She had become super popular, and people had to pass through them before they could even dare talk to her. It had been standard routine, but she had felt claustrophobic whenever those girls where around. Even today, she could never remember their names. She sat by a riverbank, throwing stones at the water. The water was so pretty, and it reminded her of her mother. She knew that she should not have been thinking about her, but it was kinda hard to ignore your own mother, who gave birth to you and suffered and then died so soon. She hugged her body, a fur coat wrapping her up as she felt the chill of the winter. She had ear muffs to keep her ears warm, but her nose was freezing. Gray would have certainly enjoyed the snow. He would have probably stripped, knowing him! She looked at the sky. Suddenly, she felt a light tap on her shoulder and she jumped out of her skin, falling inside the river. Her vision was blurry as she froze underwater, and a girl kept on saying sorry several times, but it all seemed very distant. She finally resurfaced from the water and gasped, and she started shivering like crazy. Who was this random bitch that had practically pushed her in the river!? She looked into warm scarlet-brown eyes and saw a girl with long Scarlet hair.
"I'm so sorry, are you okay?" said the girl with a sweet, quiet voice.
"Do I LOOK like I'm FUCKING okay?! Why did you do that, I'm freezing to my death!" screamed Ultear, trying to get attention, even though only that girl was in the vicinity with her. The Scarlet haired girl just giggled before looking at Ultear in shock and proceeding to wipe her gloved hand under Ultear's eye. Apparently, out of nowhere, Ultear had began to cry. When she realised this, she could not stop and proceeded to bawl loudly while the unnamed girl hugged her tightly and patting her back, whispering softly, "It's okay, it's okay." The unnamed girl looked pretty ridiculous because she was wearing a massive jacket, but it helped keep Ultear warm during the hug. After Ultear had stopped crying, just light sniffles escaping, the unnamed girl moved away from the hug and grinned, which made Ultear also smile. She hadn't done that in a while..
"What's your name?" asked the unnamed girl. Ultear scoffed, which made the girl giggle.
"If you didn't know, which you should, because it shows ignorance if you don't, I'm Ultear, world famous daughter of a record company CEO."
"That's very impressive, Miss. Ultear," said the girl, curtsying slightly.
"Please, not Miss, I'm not that old!" squealed Ultear, as if her crying fit hadn't happened.
"Well Ultear, are you okay now? I hope you aren't going to get sick." That's when Ultear realised that she was still in her wet clothes, and she knew she needed to change stat before she caught hypothermia. The Scarlet haired girl took Ultear's hand and they ran into the school, so Ultear could change clothes. Once that was done, the unnamed girl placed a throw over Ultear's shoulders and gave her a cup of hot chocolate that she had no clue where it had appeared from, but had accepted gratefully. As she slowly sipped, the unnamed girl sat next to her and breathed deeply, before having the courage to unbutton her jacket. Ultear had noticed that several times, the girl had tried to take off her jacket, but with no success. Now she was actually doing it, but it truly came to Ultear as a surprise when she saw what was underneath. Tubes, covering her whole chest, as if she was infected with some horrible disease.. She truly couldn't be a normal girl.
"What's your name?" whispered Ultear, curious about why she had so many tubes sticking out of her.
"Erza... My name is Erza," she replied. Erza... Ultear liked the name. It was very pretty, in her opinion. They sat there in silence as Ultear finished her hot chocolate, and then smiled broadly at each other when Ultear had a chocolate moustache. They giggled uncontrollably until their stomachs hurt, and Ultear abruptly stopped to check if her new friend was okay. Erza just laughed it off, saying that she didn't need any help. They didn't talk for the rest of the afternoon, enjoying watching the snowfall. When it was eight o' clock, Erza said she had to leave and deftly left. Ultear didn't even get the chance to say goodbye. Ultear didn't know if she would be lucky enough to meet her...
But luck was in her favour, and she met her the day after, the same spot.
"What's up?" greeted Erza.
"The sky," Ultear replied, which made Erza giggle and roll her eyes simultaneously. They talked for hours, and the days after that. They continued on like this until around three months later, Ultear noticed that the tubes were gone. Ultear asked Erza about them, but Erza stayed quiet, not telling Ultear anything. This made Ultear angry that her friend didn't trust her, so she went on to ignore her for a week. The day after, she went to the same place they had met for three months and she was there. She looked so ethereal, too gorgeous for the world. Ultear had wondered why no one had ever asked her for a modelling contract. As she approached her, Erza began singing quietly to herself, clearly not expecting Ultear to come. Even though she was mumbling, Ultear was star struck by her voice. She stood, frozen, as she listened to her friend. Erza turned around mid note to find her friend staring at her. Ultear was her only friend, and she was Ultear's only friend. Ultear sat down next to her and put her head on Erza's shoulder before mumbling sorry. Erza said nothing to that, so they just stayed in silence. Erza then mumbled something, and something snapped inside of Ultear. She never knew that she could be so angry, but she truly was. HOW COULD SHE!? Ultear slapped the person she had thought was her best friend before stomping off, vowing never to see her again. She planned on ambushing Erza with her groupie and making sure she suffered..

Ultear still remembered the words that she had mumbled, and they disgusted her every time. To think that she actually wanted to be friends with that bitch! She would pay, and Ultear knew that she would make every one of her living days utter misery. She was not a forgiving person, so Erza had known what she had gotten herself into as soon as she had said those words. Some days, when Ultear was truly alone and deep in her thoughts, she wondered if revenge was worth it.. She wondered why she said those things, when she probably hadn't meant them. What was going through your head, Erza Scarlet?

Ultear remembered that she had to collect something important at the law offices. She got off the boat and drove there, hoping to not see anyone familiar. She asked for what was stated in the contract when she was of age, and she collected it. She smiled slowly, a genuine smile that she hadn't used in a while. She realised that the only time she genuinely smiled was when she had been friends with her..She shook her head, compelling the thoughts away.

She drove to Gray's house to give him what she had gotten. She rang the doorbell, but no one was home. Ultear sighed before taking off her Prada heels and all her necklaces as well as bracelets before climbing the rusty pipe. She couldn't believe she had been lowered to this standard, touching dirty things! If only he had given her the spare key, like she had asked several years ago. After all, it was technically her house too as the daughter of Ul. She then tried opening the second floor window, but it wouldn't budge. She hitched up her skirt and climbed up on the roof. She squealed internally at how dirty her clothes had become. Once she was home, she would replace them right away. She crawled like a baby towards the attic window, where she knew the window was always open. She entered the attic in complete darkness, and she wiped her clothes carefully. She felt around for the door, stumbling and bumping into things several times. She had finally reached the door to find that she had new bruises practically covering her whole body. She may as well not have come, if this was the abuse that she was going to get by inanimate objects!

She saw a distant light glimmer, so she knew that one of the two brothers were home. She ran her fingers through her hair before walking down the stairs, perfectly poised. As she was about to say, "Welcome ba-" she saw Gray.

And he was holding Erza in his arms.

And done :D Didn't plan this one to be quite so long, but I really like writing in Ultear's point of view :). Hope you enjoyed it and stay safe my adorable little gorgeous chibis who light up my world :3. HUGS! \(*^-^*)/ And remember to love your parents/family because they care for you and will always be there for you (even if you aren't blood related to them ;) ).
