Chapter 14
I'm so sorry for the slow slow SLOW update. I had a lot to handle due to school… Well at least the story is ending soon…Well I can only say the chapter suck… Cause I got so many characters at hand and I have no idea how to control it… I hate chaos…
The Black Fairy raised a brow as she stared at the silent crowd before her, "Nothing to say?"
She sighed when all of them still stared at her with shocked expression, "How boring…" She eyed Lahar and smiled, "Don't you agree Lahar?"
"No…H…how could…no…Impossible…" Lahar stuttered as he stumbled backwards.
She strolled towards him, her long black tail swishing around. Her cold hard green eyes glinted with cruelty. Her lip was twisted to a cruel smile. Her long white hair
"Get the Council now!" Lahar shouted to his men.
"Council? Who is going to get them for you, my dear Lahar?" The Fairy purred.
Lahar paled as he slowly turned to face his men. A bloody sight greeted him; all his men were lying on the floor, dead.
"Stay away…Don't come near me!" Lahar fell backwards as he tried to back away from the approaching fairy.
She shook her head, "This is what happens when the hero is weak."
Lahar tried to look around for help but no one was there, he was alone.
"Yet sadly, you are no hero in any story." She sighed, "You have saved no one, you have helped no one, and you have never defeated anyone. So weak and useless, always needing the guilds to help you clear the baddies. Now you are all alone, what can you do?"
She suddenly grabbed him by his hair, "Don't you want to be powerful? Don't you want to be the hero for once? Defeat Zeref and his demons; capture all whom you deem evil? Protect your loved ones?"
He stared at her with fearful eyes; her eyes seemed so sincere, so full of sadness. It felt like she knew his pain, his fears and his desires.
He was going to nod when he heard a roar that pierces his ears.
"SHUT UP! I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP TO FIND IGNEEL IF YOU ARE GOING TO HURT MY FRIENDS!" Natsu yelled.
Lahar blinked and realized that he was lying on the ground… Had he fainted or… he shot up and realized his men were all on the ground…alive, the people in Fairy Tail were also lying on the ground. The Black Fairy had not even left her spot but a Cheshire grin was on her face.
Natsu shot up, "Where is she? WHERE IS THE STUPID FAIRY?"
"Urgh…Natsu shut up." Gray slowly lifted himself up from the floor, "My head is still pounding from the fairy annoying words…"
"Bisca are you alright?" Alzack lifted Bisca and shook her gently, she slowly open her eyes.
"Alzack! I'm so glad you are okay!" She cried as she held him tight, Alzack blushed as he slowly hugged her back.
"Lucy… quickly wake up…" Happy poked her face.
"Argh, I feel sick..." Lucy muttered as she forced herself up
Makarov shot up his eyes full of fear, until he saw all of his Guild members were safe and sound; he gave a sigh of relief.
"Are you guys all aright?" He asked.
Those that were awake nodded.
"Unn…" Erza slowly got up, her head pounding a little.
The Fairy continues to observe them with an amused expression.
"Finally awake from your nightmare?" She asked sweetly.
"If you want us to go nuts, you have to try better than that." Gray growled.
She laughed, "I never wanted any of you to turn crazy."
Lahar slowly looked around, trying to spot for any injured soldiers. That was when he realized that Jellal was missing.
"Someone is missing?" The Fairy asked angelically.
"Where is the prisoner?" Lahar demanded.
"Jellal's missing?" Erza asked, fear laced her every word.
"Seems like it." The Fairy replied with a soft smile, "Heroes…are always so stupid, aren't they? They don't fight dirty so they don't think dirty."
"What are you talking about?" Natsu snarled.
"Jellal was one of the most righteous men I ever met. He was kind and brave. He even stared down those people that tortured him. How did such a man become such a vile creature I wonder?" The fairy pranced around as she spoke in an animated voice.
Erza paled, "Y…Oh God…You did something to him."
"Finally you've notice! And I thought the magic council would know something was wrong when they caught him. Apparently pride blinded them. Don't you agree Lahar?"
"So you are saying we caught an innocent man?" Lahar snapped.
"I'm not saying you caught an innocent man. I'm saying you've caught a poor poor broken victim." The fairy giggled, "Ah shall I reenact the whole scene for you?"
Jellal was suddenly pulled out of nowhere. His face was bloodied and his body covered in bruises.
"Ah I'm sorry for the bloody display but he fought me quite gallantly so I got to…You know beat the living daylights out of him."
Erza ran forward to save him but the fairy stopped her with a rune.
"Nobody spoils the show, especially my show." The fairy said with a sadistic grin, "Now Jellal, it is time to break you all over again."
She snapped her fingers and his screams was all they could hear.
"Stop… Stop!" Erza shouted.
A hand grabbed her, halting a movement, "Let us try and break the rune spell."
She looked up and saw Levy and Fried smiling at her as they got to work.
Lahar and his men also started trying to break the rune.
"Waah! This is so exciting. Let see who break first, Jellal or the rune."
The fairy started humming a tune as she went over to hug the writhing Jellal. Black lines were forming in all parts of his body and it was moving slowly to his right eye.
"Erza…You do know he was thinking about you when I brainwash him…It was so touching that it made me puke. Ah… but if you had come a minute earlier, he would have been saved."
"DONE!" Levy shouted and Natsu shot past her and slammed his fist onto the fairy.
"I'll kill you for hurting my family." Natsu raised his fist and slammed it onto the fairy again and again. Meanwhile Erza, Lahar and his men made their way to Jellal.
"Oh God… Jellal…" Erza cried out as she helped him up, his eyes was glazed from the pain.
"Look at me..." Erza whispered but he pushed her away.
"We need to detain him before he becomes dangerous." Lahar said calmly.
"Touch him and I will kill you." Erza threatened before putting her focus back to Jellal, "Jellal…Please you can do this, you can fight it. I know you had failed before but now you have me. You have Fairytail. You have a family. Please…"
Meanwhile the fairy was getting pummeled from all sides, her cheeks swollen from the punches.
She flew up to safety only to be closely pursuit by an angry dragon slayer and his cat.
"Take this bitch!" Natsu shouted as he slammed her back down to the ground.
"Is it working? Is Jellal okay?" Lucy asked.
"He is still in pain… Let's beat her up some more." Gray growled.
Makarov went over to Erza to give her comfort.
Lahar motioned some of his men to leave and call for backup.
"DON'T YOU DARE UNDERESTIMATE THE RIGHT HAND DEMON OF ZEREF!" The fairy screamed as she flung Natsu and Gray away from her.
"I will break Erza and Jellal. I will destroy all of you. And let this be the beginning of Zeref reign!" She cried out as she used her tail to strangle Gray.
Gray grabbed her tail and froze it.
"You are crazy." He gasped.
The Fairy started laughing hysterically, stopping just as suddenly, "Die."
Mirajane pulled Gray away as the ground around him exploded.
"Let me take of her." Mirajane smirked as she flew after the Fairy
"Erza…I'm sorry…" Jellal whispered as he trashed around from the pain, "There is no such thing as freedom for me…I'm sorry…"
"We have to end it now…He will kill you the moment the spell is complete." Lahar tried to drag Erza away but she clung onto Jellal, "I don't care if there is no freedom! As long as we have each other, I don't care if we are locked up in a cage! Don't give up on me! You promise you will never leave me!"
"It won't work! This spell is too powerful. It is from Zeref demon for goodness sake." Lahar yelled.
Makarov shut him up with a glare, warning him if he opens his mouth again he would punch him.
The fairy kept glancing to Jellal almost as if she was worried about them…or the outcome…Mirajane kept coming after her again and again. The fairy frowned as she tried to fend off her opponent. She took one more look at Jellal when Mirajane grabbed her tail and tore it off from her. She howled and scratched the ground to get away from the pain.
Mirajane slammed her heel into the fairy's heart. The fairy gasped and saw Erza leaned forward to kiss Jellal. She smiled as she slowly disintegrated.
Everyone turned to Jellal, hoping…praying that they had somehow managed to save him.
Erza slowly pulled away, the black lines on Jellal was gone…with his eyes closed, he looked so innocent…what about his soul...?
…Sorry…for the sucky chapter…
