To the one person who left a review, I have made chapter 7! It starts out in Erza's POV, then switches to third person. I hope you enjoy it, despite it being a short chapter.
Being nothing,
But a mere fool
Can lead to excruciating pain.
One's pain,
Can lead to another's enjoyment.
Who'd have thought,
That a friend
Would betray you,
And be nothing but an enemy.
One you cannot hate,
But you want to.
Though a part of you wants him
And a part of you
Wants to be free
And be one with the sky.
-Written by; me, Scarlet Horizon
Pathetic.
Stupid.
Weak.
Could everyone see my vulnerability? Is that why this was happening to me? I'm such an idiot... A fool. A vulnerable, idiotic fool.
"Erza?" I could hear Jellal calling for me.
I rolled off the log and then sat up so my knees were tucked against my chest, wrapping my arms securely around myself. I rested my chin on the tops of my knees and looked forward. Waiting for him to find me. Waiting for him to tell me that this was all just a bad dream that I'd soon wake up from. But that wouldn't happen. It wasn't a dream. It was pure reality.
"Erza, I'm so sorry... I should've known-" Jellal started when he found me.
I shook my head, "It's not your fault..."
"But if I had known, I could've-" Jellal started, but I cut him off.
"Shut up Jellal, it isn't your fault." I snapped, "If I weren't so weak and vulnerable, this never would've happened."
"Everyone has their weaknesses Erza." Jellal reminded.
"I should've tried harder to stop him..." I whispered to myself, "But I didn't..."
Tears formed at my eyes and started to spill down my face. Jellal brushed away the tears with his thumb and lightly kissed my forehead.
"He knew how to manipulate you, it couldn't be stopped." Jellal commented quietly.
"Where is he?" I asked shakily.
"At the guild... Doing, who knows what?" Jellal answered, "Don't worry... Everything's going to be okay now."
He pulled me onto his lap and held me tightly. I rested my head against his chest and let tears pour out of my eyes.
"I'm so sorry, Jellal..." I whimpered between sobs.
He looked at me sternly, "Remember what I said earlier? You aren't the one that should be saying sorry. Got it?"
I nodded.
[Back at the guild(third person)]
A majority of the guild members were glaring at Gray. Mira was in her Satan Soul form and looked extremely pissed. Other guild members were still confused on what just happened. Only a few of them had ever seen Erza cry, but never heard her scream at someone like that. Others never even seen her cry or heard her scream like that. Her voice so full of hurt and hatred. Her face filled with tear stains. Lips quivering. Body trembling.
"What did you do to her?" Mira shouted, though she had a clue.
Gray smirked, "Well... Before you completely accuse me, if I remember correctly, she did enjoy it a bit."
"Like hell!" Mira retorted, glaring fiercely.
Gray let out a small laugh, "Her cries were so delightful... And the look of agony on her face... Was perfect."
"Shut up Gray! You manipulated your fellow comrade!" Mira screamed at him, while everyone else was still unsure of what to say.
Gray ignored what she had said, "Oh and her moans... Were just so intriguing." he added.
Mira had a disgusted, horrified look on her face. Lucy and Wendy covered their mouths, to keep from screaming, and their eyes were wide with horror. Natsu looked pissed, he had seen Erza cry too many times.
Just then, Ultear and Meredy opened the doors to the guild hall, looking pissed. Mostly Ultear looked pissed.
"I just got done listening to your entire conversation, after Erza ran past me, crying her eyes out. Why the hell did you do that to her Gray?" Ultear growled.
"I was just showing her what would end up happening if she stayed with Jellal." he laughed.
"Like hell! Jellal would never manipulate her like that!" Ultear shouted, "Ul would be so disappointed in you!"
"So what? She's dead..." Gray grumbled.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Ultear snapped, "She isn't dead! She melted and became one with the sea!"
"Whatever... If that's your childish belief, then so be it." Gray muttered.
Ultear looked extremely pissed now. So pissed that Gray even did a double take. He had gone too far.
Cliffhanger! Haha... XD I know... I'm such a bitch for doing that... Oh well! I'll post again as soon as possible, hopefully sometime again this week. The only problem is, I get a lot of homework, I'm behind on three or four assignments, and still have to retake a test that I failed... Though I don't really care about any of those, I highly doubt that I'd be able to do anything big with my life no matter what. I'll just have a sucky job at McDonalds. I probably will decided not to go to college. Even though my family will highly disapprove... Oh well! Wow... I added a lot at the end... And most of it is just me rambling about how dumb I am... Whoops... Sorry if this wasted like three minutes of your life...
