Chapter 2

As Erza let out her scream of frustration, she stopped immediately as soon as she heard the door squeak open and jumped around to face the intruder. Only to see a celestial wizard named Lucy in front of her. "Erza? Are you alright?"

"I'm just fine Lucy, thank you." Erza smiled. "Anyway, why are you here? You don't live in the dorms here."

"Well, I was asked by Jellal to check on you, because you just ran away. Jellal looked really hurt when you just ditched him but he looked worried as well." When Erza heard the name Jellal, her smile dropped instantly. 'Why would Jellal want to worry about me? I just practically tore his heart into two, so why?' Erza thought quietly. "I think you should go back to the guild and apologize to him, Erza. Tell Jellal how you feel about him, after you apologize, of course." Lucy smiled gently. Lucy was right, how can she face Jellal ever again without getting through all this mess? The only way was to avoid him the rest of her life which was basically impossible.

"You know what Lucy? You're right, I need to apologize to him, even if i don't love him, it would mean that I would have to reject him. But a part of me wants to stay here and not say sorry, while the other wants to. What do I do Lucy?" Erza said as she turned her eyes to her feet.

"Erza..." Lucy whispered quietly. "You know what? You remind me of myself when Natsu asked me out!" Erza's gaze then slowly came to Lucy's eyes. "It was when you were out on a solo mission to get some jewels.(money) Sorry I didn't tell you about our relationship, it was because we didn't want anyone finding out and fussing about every single thing we do together. Besides Natsu, Happy, Gray, Juvia, Lisanna and I, you're the only one who knows about this. Lisanna had asked Natsu out, but he turned her down for me. Lisanna knew already that Natsu liked me but she just asked him anyway. Now the two of them are getting along pretty well and are good friends. So when Natsu asked me out, I just ran away just like you did because I didn't want to embarrass myself and Natsu."

"Wow...I didn't think Natsu could be such a girl magnet..." Erza said surprisingly. Lucy just laughed at Erza's silliness and grinned as wide as she can.

"But you know Erza, you'll never get by life if you don't deal with problems, especially personal romance. How about this, we get back to the guild together and you can say sorry, don't worry, I'll be there by your side the whole time, I mean not actually beside you...but you get what I mean!" Lucy said.

"Thanks Lucy, I appreciate the help. Now I really feel like I can just walk into the guild carelessly and ignore all the problems" Erza said as she stood up. Lucy was always one to encourage people really well, whenever someone is feeling down she comes straight away to that person and makes them laugh and forget their worries. "Let's go back, to Fairy Tail." Erza smiled.

Lucy looked at the re-quip mage slightly shocked. She didn't think that Erza could recover so quickly after a time of nervous break-downs. No wonder Erza is so strong, she gets the power from her friends, "Yeah! " Lucy stood up as well. "Every one's waiting for us, Jellal too." Erza just looked back at her and her eyes softened.

"I presume you want to join this guild, Jellal?" The third master of Fairy Tail asked.

"Yes, I plan to join this guild for Erza's sake, so I can protect her from danger and make her my lover. Of course, you don't have to force yourself to let me into the guild, I understand if you don't accept me, after all I've done to your guild and making the council fire Etherion..." Jellal calmly stated with a straight face.

"All children who wish to redeem themselves for the crimes they have done are accepted into this guild. Particularly when they have love in them, it's a sign that they have a part of them that is caring for others and not only himself, especially when it's for a dear friend." Makarov said. The guild master then pulled out the Fairy Tail guild stamp from his desk drawer and stared at the blue haired mage solemnly, "When you are in this guild, you shall promise not to bring harm to any of the members, because in Fairy Tail, we are family. We watch out each other and protect the ones we love; do you keep your word to always stay loyal to your friends and your loved ones? If this vow is destroyed, you shall be expelled immediately from this guild."

"Yes, I vow to always protect everyone in Fairy Tail from harm and stay by everyone's side at all times through thick and thin." Jellal said firmly. And so, Jellal bent down to the height of the short guild master and rolled up his right sleeve, as the elderly man walked closer to Jellal and stamped the marker on his upper arm, roughly where Natsu's emblem was.

"Welcome to Fairy Tail, your new family..." Makarov said happily. All of a sudden, an unexpected knock came from the door.

"Master," called a sweet voice that could only recognized as Mirajane. " Someone is here to see Jellal, do you think you can let her in?"

'Why would anyone want to see me? Maybe it's Droanbalt or someone from the council…l' But Jellal least expected the most possible person to see him, Erza.

The old man cleared his throat and replied, "Enter." And with the master's permission, the doors slowly creaked open, revealing a nervous Erza beside a smiling Mirajane and a hiding Lucy behind the doors who was unnoticed.

Jellal's eyes doubled their sizes and at the sight of the group of girls, specifically at a certain red-haired mage that he's infatuated with, "Erza!"
