Day 2 : Dawn

He was sure that all this would end someday,the war, the deaths, the destruction, and if he was unfortuanate , somewhere in between, his life. Of course, most people dreaded the day of their deaths, but he had made peace with the fact that somebody he won't be there anymore and he thought nobody would really care anymore. Well he was wrong so very wrong indeed.

It was just another day of the war and everyone was fighting, for their freedom, their lives and their future. And it was all too quick, just one attack dodged wrong and it seemed that just one attack was enough to knock him out. Within a minute Erza was by his side, but he didn't know that in his unconsious state. she was frantic, barely avoiding the attacks coming her way. She managed to get them temporary shelter, she shook him hard in panic, and Jellal opened his eyes before Erza could bring his ribs with her strength. He coughed, spluttered trying to get his lungs full of air. Through his blurred vision he saw Erza, her eyes full of tears. I broke his heart into tiny pieces.

"Did I...did i do something wrong?"

His voice was raspy, his body clearly affected by the attack. Her response was to slap him across the face, hard. If he didn't have a high pain tolerance he would have bruised his jawbone. And it left him thoroughly confused, the last time she had slapped him was when he wanted to kill himself, so what had he managed to do this time?

"You bastard! How dare you get hit by the attack !" shouted Erza, red with tears. He was astonished by her statement, and tried to apolosize.

"I'm...I'm sorry Erza. I didn't mean to-"

"Oh no you don't! You don't get to do the 'Oh I'm sorry Erza, I won't do it again" her tone clearly mocking.

"Do you have any absoulute idea how damn scared I was? You weren't waking up and I thought...that you-" And with that Erza sniffled once more, with no intention of voicing her dreadful fears any longer.

"...Died?" Jellal tried to supply her tears and embracing her, trying to convince her that he wa still with her, alive and well.

"Y-yes" She managed to stutter between sobs, still trying to calm herself down. She was still clinging onto him, buried in his warmth.

"You won't get rid of me so soon Erza, you lost that chance a long time ago." comforted Jellal with a tad bit of playfulness in his voice. Erza smacked him jokingly in return.

"Promise me, Jellal. You will come out alive from this war. We both will." Her seriousness returning, she gazed at him, lost in his orbs, awaiting a reply to ease her uncertainity.

"I promise you Erza, we will come out alive and well." he had replied with a beautiful soft smile lingering on his lips.

Sleeping with these memories, he arose the next morning. A new dawn awaited him, filled with new promises to keep and hope lingering in every ray of golden light. But sadly, it was not long before despair and the thought of broken promises crept in, filling his mind with doubt. All in all, it was a new dawn, prefarably bringing a better day than the last. And so continued the war
