Chapter 8
I FORGOT ALL ABOUT THIS STORY! I'M SOOOOO SOOOOOORRY!
I was so busy with all the moving of house, going abroad and getting hooked to a Korean drama , I forgot all about this story! Argh!
Now I'll just cut the crap and write the story.
Erza felt cruel, evil and helpless… It had been two weeks since that incident of her breaking down and lying her brains out to Jellal. He was kind enough not to probe further.
But her lies just would not stop… One lie lead to another…Now Erza was in a mess that she did not know how to fix.
Erza lied a total of three times… only three times many would say, but it was enough to make her feel like a jerk, because she was not doing it for Jellal but for herself. It was she herself that did not want Jellal to be gone. It was she herself that wants Jellal all for herself. Everything was about her Her HER. But she could not stop herself. She simply could not let him go.
Her first lie was two week ago, Jellal asked how they escaped from the Tower of Babel. She lied and said that she saved them with her magical powers and he was totally and 100 percent human, not to mention she had buckets of tears flowing out of her eyes. He hugged her and comforted her, whispering sweet and kind words to her. But she knew he felt something was amiss.
Her second lie was one week ago, he asked if he could go out for a walk. She said no and lied saying those wizards are still after his life, and she did not want to lose him again. He blushed when she said the last line and never asked to leave the room again.
And her third lie was three days ago, he asked what does he work as in the past, was he a business man or something else.
Erza pursed her lips and lied, saying she lost contact with him for a long long time, when she found him… His house was already blown away and he had lost his memories.
Jellal nodded and laughed saying he was just glad to be with her again. She gulped.
She knew Jellal was not an idiot and that he might realize something was up but still she hoped that he was an idiot so he won't figure anything out.
Jellal knew something was wrong for quite awhile. Though he may not have his full memory that does not mean he was a total idiot. He remembered Erza all bloodied and her eye, yes her right eye was gone… Those men… some men… beat her up and then he was saving her and then all he remembered was pain and nothing. So what happened after that was a big empty blank. Apparently from Erza's reaction and behavior, it's not good.
"Jellal… What do you want to eat?" Erza asked him.
He forced a smiled, "I'm fine with anything as long as you are here, remember?"
Her ears turned pink as she mumbled, "I remember…" And she stalked out of the room awkwardly.
He sighed when she shut the door behind her.
Who was he? Erza told him that he was human, but he did not feel very human, as in he can feel some powers flowing in him but he just do not know how to get it out.
And what about those people after him? Could Erza be lying about his past? But how could it be? The Erza he knew does not lie. She was honest and righteous.
But if she was?
He closed his eyes trying to force his memories to come back but it only gave him a splitting headache.
"Urgh…" He clasped his head to stop the pounding.
Someone giggled.
He froze.
The giggle grew louder.
"Who's there?" He asked, doing his best to glare at wherever he think the person giggling was at.
"Jellal Fernandes, you are correct." The voice spoke, "Erza lied to you."
He started looking around to find the voice. A hand patted his shoulders.
He jumped but turned around immediately to face the intruder.
He was faced with a girl with long white hair and pure black skin, a tail was swishing around behind her.
She smiled sweetly, revealing her white creepy teeth, "Oh you looked so cute! Maybe I should take you away and keep you as a pet instead of giving you away to Erza?"
He glared, his hand moving behind to search for any suitable weapon, "Who are you?"
"Hmm…" She tapped her chin to project a feeling like she was deep in her thoughts, then she suddenly laugh, "I'm simply a black fairy that want to have a good show to watch."
Her laughed ended just as soon as it started, "But it isn't progressing fast enough. I'm bored." She leaned closer to Jellal.
"Stay away." Jellal growled as he slowly retreated. Instinctively, he knew the black thing was dangerous.
"Okay. I'll stay away. But that does not mean anything, because…" She smirked, "I use long range skills."
Jellal raised a brow.
"Who are you, Jellal Fernandes?" The black fairy started prancing around, "Shall I show you?"
And he flew across the room, slamming into Erza's armor. He struggled to get up.
"No No NO! The Jellal I know is terrifying. He is fast and strong, and he can make things go KABOOOM!" She pouted, like a terrifying five year old.
"What are you talking about?" Jellal panted.
"I'm talking about you, silly. What else could I be talking about?" she danced around the room and was suddenly in front of him. She held him tightly around the arm, "Quickly show me your fighting skills." She purred.
"Tell me what I should show you? I have no idea what you are talking about."
"No… It would spoil all the fun wouldn't it?"
Her tail slowly wrapped around Jellal's neck, "When you are desperate, you learn faster."
Jellal eyes widened as she tightened her gripped on his neck, cutting off all oxygen.
