Chapter 7 Erza's Lies

Well my exam is finally over… And since you guys ask for me to update first so…I'll update… Not to mention this story is waaaaay easier to think and create than the other story I'm writing… (it is still hard to type especially when your head is just filled with formulas and not English…)

One more sentence before I begin…. I'm FREEEEEEEEEEE!

Well for now at least… (You might want to read the previous chapter if this chap don't link for you.)\


"It tastes great, seriously…" Erza said while munching on eggshells.

Jellal raised a brow, "Wow, I never knew cakes could be so…crispy."

"Cakes…can sometimes be crispy too." Erza lied as she swallowed the cake with great difficulty.

"Yeah right." Jellal snorted as he snatched the cake off Erza's hands and threw it in the bin.

That was the first time Erza lied to him. That was the first time he did not believe her.

Lying is such a pain. Yet she has to lie. For his sake. For her sake.

... ... ...

Erza walked down the hallway of Fairyhill, heading towards the public bath. She needed some time alone, away from Jellal, to think of what to do with him. As in how should she live her life with him. Should she officially introduce Jellal to Fairy Tail as a mage? But he has no powers currently… or simply cannot remember how to use them…hopefully he'll never ever regain them. Should she start helping him find a new home…A new job? One that does not risked his life…

Should she move out together with him?...

She blushed at the thought and started shaking her head vigorously as lewd thoughts started to enter into her mind.

Yet somewhere deep inside her heart… she wants to posses Jellal completely.

Letting him be completely dependant on her, where his eyes only see her and no one else.

She felt horribly guilty thinking like that.

She entered the public bath. It was completely empty…Which was a little strange as the rest of them should be here bathing, except for Juvia who still seems a little uncomfortable showing off her assets to them. It was not like everybody did not have what she has… But she said something about wanting Gray to be the first…

Erza sighed as she slowly entered the warm bath

"Yo!" A head pop up from the water, white hair floating around the head and had skin that was black.

Erza screamed, ex-equipping a sword ready to stab the monster or ghost…or whatever.

"Now now that is just plain insulting." The monster reprimanded her as it stood up.

"Fairy?" Erza asked.

"Yes it is me, the big bad witch." She sighed.

"What did you do?" Erza asked as she pointed to the rest of the bath.

"Relax. I just put them to sleep. I mean I want to talk to you alone."

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Jellal." Was the fairy answer.

"What about him?"

"Your plans? Do you intend to help him recall all his memories or…"

Erza bit her lips, "I don't know."

The fairy leaned closer to her, "But you do know. You want him to forget everything, you want him to be a good little human and stay with you, like he originally should have."

Erza kept silent; indeed she wanted Jellal to live happily with her. She doesn't mind even if Jellal cannot do anything. She just wants him beside her.

"Erza… You're going to keep lying to him."

The fairy was not even asking her a question but declaring what she was going to do.

Erza got up, preparing to leave.

"Erza… Before you go… My powers have its limits… I cannot keep powerful mages from remembering him if they saw him… So best of luck." The fairy smiled and disappeared.

Erza felt like the whole world just came crashing down on her. Her time with Jellal may soon come to an end, if any of the mages from the magic council remembers him. That was it. Her time with Jellal would come to a complete end. She might even drag Fairytail down together with her for treason.

She should end it now. She had to. For Fairytail sake. For her sake. She has to end this whole lie.

She pushed open her room door.

"Erza…" Jellal called out.

She smiled, her heart pounded loudly that she wonder if he could hear her.

"Erza…I was thinking when you were off bathing… I wonder if you could tell me how we escaped from the tower?"

This was her chance… all she had to do was tell him what he did and he would leave… He would…leave… for her sake…

"We tried to escape… and I was caught as the mastermind...Then you came for me and saved me."

His face darkened, "They hurt you… Your Eye…"

"Yes… But you saved me…Then…" Erza shut her eyes

You must never try to betray Jellal… you must never speak of this to anyone, If I see you trying. I'll start killing, and of course, Jellal is first. Live on, with the live of your precious desire resting on your back.

"You…"

My powers have its limits… I cannot keep powerful mages from remembering him if they saw him… So best of luck." The fairy smiled and disappeared.

"You…"

Erza... I can feel kindness from that name... I can feel kindness, cheerfulness and warmth... I'm sure you'll continue to hate me, but I can't help that. It's only natural. But hatred will steal the freedom from your heart. It will eat away at you from within. I can't go that far. I can't go before you! You will be free from Jellal. I will take your hatred and sadness... with me... You are... free

Tears flowed from her eyes. She doesn't want to be free from him. She cannot let him go anymore… Her heart hurts from just thinking of him leaving. When did she become so weak and so dependant on a person existence?

Jellal ran over to her and hugged her, doing his best to comfort her, "Erza don't cry. It is okay… you don't have to tell me anymore."

"You're human. I fought them all. I used all my might and fought them all. And I became a mage because I wanted to protect all of you. You are human."

Erza gripped him tightly, feeling like a little girl in his arms.

He stroked her hair gently like when they in past, when she was afraid, calming down her heart and emotions.

For her sake. For his sake. She had to lie. Yet lying was such a pain.


Somehow… I don't really like this chapter… hmmm…. A little help? Tell me what is wrong and I'll try my best to change it… Thank you .
