Chapter 5 During the Month of August

Mavis quivered under his touch; he was gentle – her senses barely picked up his movement. Mavis felt warmth rush through her as he teased her. Mavis was frustrated, emotionally and hormonally, every attempts of affection was like an endless game of cat and mouse – he would ease into kisses and little hand teasing but nothing more. She had noticed how his eyes twinkled darkly at her frustrations – it amused him, and it upset her even more that she was falling into his trap every single time.

They had ventured to a different continent – Alkitasia, Zeref had told her. The continent, Zeref had explained to her, he helped unified guilds as fractions to protect the citizens in their districts. The green leaves of the forest were losing their brightness as the season turned to summer. Mavis had remained away from civilizations, worried that another massacre was just waiting underneath the shadows within her. Mavis hoped she can somehow control the outbursts of her curse as Zeref can, he made it look easy – but sometimes she can see something fighting within his eyes.

Zeref smirks at her as she squirms underneath his weight, he lowered his mouth onto her neck slowly going down to her chest. It has finally been two years, now he can finally start on the right path, correct his wrongs from the old world and give August the life he deserved. His eyes took in Mavis's flushed face, she was quivering under him, desperate for more. He sneers, thinking back to his old Mavis, he wished he could see her face as she watched her younger self being so willingly to give herself to him. Zeref could feel the defilement of the first world being corrected as he pleasured her, this was what should have been.

Zeref ripped Mavis's dress to expose her breasts, Mavis shivered seeing the hunger within his eyes. Zeref sneers at her, "I'm sure you had enough of my teases –."

"Yes!" Mavis gasped out; she grew red shocked by how desperate she wanted him. Mavis scowled at herself, stupid Mavis… he wants you to be desperate! In the back of her mind she felt a part of her scream in horror, she quickly disregarded that feeling, thinking it was just her nerves getting the best out of her.

Zeref lightly grazed her breasts with his hands, she arched towards his touch. He held her hands to the ground above her head, she whined wanting more. He allowed his mouth to find its way to her erected nipples and gave them attention. Mavis moans trying to free her hands so she can hold his head down, but Zeref's grip was firm. He held her wrists together with one of his hands as the other ventured southward. Mavis arched into his hips as she felt his hand tease her center. Mavis's breath came into sharp short breathes as she felt his appendage go between her folds. Zeref stared at her see how her body reached to him. Mavis was too capitative in his hand movement and mouth to realize, Zeref was unstrapping his tunic with the hand that held her wrists.

Mavis came back to realization once his hand left her body and was replaced by something else was eager at the entrance of her. Mavis breathed heavily opening her eyes to see his black eyes staring down at her, she gazed down their bodies to see his member awaiting entry. Mavis nodded her head feverishly, before she can say anything to him, he was already wrapped within her warmth.

Mavis moaned loudly into his shoulder as he rocked into her. Mavis could feel the broken twigs and dead leaves crunch underneath her weight. Mavis's gasps became louder as he thrust deeper and faster, she clawed at his shoulder blades.

Zeref scowls down at her, he closed his eyes trying to lose himself in the sensation. Zeref zoned out Mavis's moans, as he thrust his hips into hers. He pushed aside his once mournful thoughts of defiling her, this was a new world – she wanted this. Each thrust his mind went to the past as he mirrored his defilement. Her warm lips replaced the ones of her cold ones, her moans drowned out the silences of his memory of the dead forest. Zeref could feel his emotions from the past – the anger, despair, confusion, and the disgust… Mavis's cold pale body that had jerked and flopped on the decayed floor was now mirrored by this lively pink flushed and sweaty Mavis that kept up with his rhythm.

Mavis's body clenched onto his as she came, Zeref fought through the emotions as he followed suit and released all the build up frustrations and emotions into her lively vessel. Zeref felt himself become relieved seeing Mavis's bright green eyes smiling at him rather those dead ones that had haunted him for a century.

Zeref laid on his side watching Mavis beam up at the sun, he fiddled with a strand of her blonde hair.

Mavis smiled, "I think things are going to get better for us… I can feel it."

He moved his hand to rest on her stomach slightly before finding its way to her hair again, "I'm sure it will…"

Mavis smiled warmly seeing her Fairy Tail guild intact after years of her absence – she always knew Precht would be a great Guild Master. Mavis beams as she pushed opened the doors, she was met with loud laughter and carefree attitude. She looked around excitedly seeing old faces that had aged slightly over the years.

Mavis waved her hand above her head, "Hey everyone!" Mavis shouted. She frowns as she was greeted by an empty guild hall, Mavis gazed around noticing a part of the hall was severely damaged. What happened here? Mavis gasps as she fell through the guildhall's floor. Mavis didn't have a chance to scream until she hit the cool floor. Mavis groans sitting up, her head pounded, it was like thousands of screams were echoing around her. Her eyes widen seeing a large lacrima in the center of this hidden room underneath the guildhall. Mavis felt her body shiver at the sight of it, she cautiously stepped towards the clear crystal. The screams in her head became louder as she approached the lacrima, her hand shook as she placed her palm on the cold texture – the screams became deafeningly silent. Mavis's own heavy breathing was the only thing that could be heard. She stared into the lacrima seeing her terrified expression reflecting back at her. What is this place? Mavis stared at her reflection in the crystal, getting an eerie feeling as if she was here before. Mavis jumped back seeing a child within the crystal, his eyes stared at her knowingly. Mavis's heart beat hard in her chest as the screams returned and the crystal shattered.

Mavis gasped waking up in a cold sweat, her lungs felt like they were on fire. Mavis tried to register where she was, she panicked until she came back to her senses. She took deep breaths staring at her room, she was on the outskirts of the kingdom's walls in the forest, away from potential victims. Zeref made sure she felt comfortable and at home, he told her he would have had her stay within the castle, but he didn't want to push her control on the curse. Although she was fine being secluded it brought her mind to ease to know she wouldn't hurt anyone.

Mavis sat up, she felt her stomach, she could sense the life that was growing within her cursed body and it always brought her to happy tears that something so pure can come from darkness. Her room was decorated with white furniture and was adored with dozens of books from the countries she and Zeref had traveled to. She smiled to herself knowing that she was alright, but the dream shook her and something within her soul felt eerie about it.

Mavis got out of bed, walking through her small cabin. The kitchen and living space had more bookshelves on every wall, many of the books were fairy tales while others focused on ancient black magic for research against the curse.

Mavis winced as her headache intensified. She clutched under her stomach feeling the pain intensify throughout her body. Mavis breathed heavily trying to calm down, she didn't realize how startling the dream had caused her.

Mavis held her breath sensing Zeref's presence – she found it odd how her pregnancy changed her magical sensing. Zeref caressed her cheek as he materialized before her, "What's seems to be troubling you?"

Mavis took in a small breath as his hand hovered over her stomach. Zeref smirked slightly at her growing stomach, "Is it August?"

Mavis was intrigued how Zeref seemed to know more about her own baby, she was the one carrying it and she couldn't even tell the sex of her child. Mavis shook her head, "No, the baby is fine. I just had a nightmare."

Zeref frowns at her, "About the deaths that were caused by the curse?"

Don't tell him! Mavis heard her own voice scream at her. Mavis hesitated, unsure what was coming over her. Zeref stared at her seeing her hesitate, "Well?" He asked narrowing his eyes at her discomfort.

"Sorry, I'm just a little shaken up about it." Mavis responded avoiding his calculating eyes.

Zeref tilted his head slightly, "I might be able to help if you told me."

Mavis laughed nervously unsure why her heart was pounding so heavily, "It was nothing, I guess I'm just home sick. I just dreamt of Fairy Tail and some creepy basement with a huge lacrima."

Zeref froze at the mention of a lacrima. It seems August can project my memory of the old world through Mavis. Zeref smirked slightly as he placed his hand on her belly again, Are you giving your mother nightmares? Zeref gazed up at Mavis's concerned eyes, "Perhaps the pregnancy is putting too much stress on you and its going through your dreams."

Mavis didn't miss the surprised expression Zeref let escape before he concealed his emotions once again. "Maybe." Mavis responded turning away from him, she felt some unsettlement running through her as she couldn't shake off the feeling from the dream.

Zeref narrowed his eyes at her nervousness, perhaps the old world would make itself known one way or another. Zeref gave her a small smile, "Is there anything you might want that would comfort you?"

Mavis gave him an embarrassed look, "Maybe some of that strawberry pudding from town?"

Zeref smirked slightly, "It seems food can cure anything."

Mavis gave him a small smile as he evaporates, leaving her with her thoughts. Mavis went to the kitchen to throw cold water on her face. Mavis rubbed her stomach muttering to herself, "Are you making all this commotion little one?"

She sat down, easing her sore feet up. She picked up one of the books she hadn't finished and smiled, "Maybe a little fairy tale will ease both of us…"

Mavis found herself in the basement of Fairy Tail again, her heart raced as she once again became face to face with the lacrima. She felt a shiver run down her spine as she touched the lacrima once again, there was so much emotion pouring out of the crystal. She stared into the transparent mineral, hoping to see that boy again – to understand what she was seeing. She was taken by surprise by the person within the crystal. She saw herself, entrapped within the mineral – her pale body was preserved in the bright crystal – frozen in time. Mavis stared at her other self's closed eyes, "What happened to me?"

Mavis heard her own voice scream throughout the eerie room, "Please—don't do this!" Mavis shutters as her scream echoed in agony, the crystal version of herself was thrashing in pain. Her face was frozen in a silent horrified scream, as the room shook, the crystal cracked and shattered. Mavis backed away from the shards seeing her other-self fall from the debris. Mavis put her hands over her mouth as she watched in horror as her other-self gasped in pain – reaching out towards her.

Mavis cringed as her agonizing scream pierced her ears, as her other self's body was shredded apart, blood spilled over the shards. Mavis shook her head as she saw herself shriveling in agony, skin melted off of her face. She backed away as her other-self attempted to crawl to her – desperate for her help. The bloody skeleton raised its hand towards her, desperately reaching for her. Mavis shook her head, and shuddered as the skeleton released another shriek of pain just as the ligaments were sheered off leaving her other self as a pile of bones…

Mavis screams as she woke up from her nightmare. This is too much! Mavis jumped out of bed, clutching at her head, still hearing her shrieks of pain. Mavis couldn't take the nightmares anymore, her eyes stared crazily around her living space. Her eyes lost their light due to the pure terror that had plagued her. This baby is evil – it's a death omen! Mavis clutched at her head; she couldn't get the screams out of her head. She just wanted the screams to stop!

Mavis grabbed a knife from the kitchen, her knuckles turned white due to how hard her grip was. She just wanted all the screams to stop. Please stop! Stop! She cried raising her hands in front of herself, positioning the knife to face her. Stop it!

To be continued…
