Thanks for the reviews and to everyone who has been reading this. I guess this is kinda during the Loke Arc, but I'm trying not to make it exactly like it was in the anime. Also, I might drop a few hints of Grayza but don't worry Jellal and Erza are meant to be, well at least in my opinion. Also, I know Erza lives in Fairy Hills but I didn't figure out this knowledge until after I started writing, but I don't really think it's much of a big deal.

Disclaimer; I do not own Fairy Tail. It belongs to Hiro Mashima.

Obey Me

"Jellal?" Erza muttered drowsily, bringing her hands up to rub the sleepiness out of her eyes. Sniffling, the Titania scanned the area before her. She was still crushed up against the wall, her knees to her chest but her room was empty. Jellal had vanished along with the moon. Disappointment filled her heart and she could fill tears collecting in the corner of her eye. Then she soon realized last night was nothing more than one of Jellal's games, he was trying to trick her into trusting him.

She couldn't worry about that now, Erza still had a duty to her friends. Determination replaced her disappointment as she requiped into her custom-made Heart Kreuz armor, she recalled Natsu found a job which involved subduing thieves. It would probably take at least three days to finish the job and Erza needed to get packing. Erza made up her bed, the covers were a mess from last night. A blush crept along her cheeks as she realized how she worded it in her mind, they didn't do anything but sleep! Either way, it still sounded disgusting.

Her house only consisted of two rooms, the main area and the single bathroom. The main area held a small, cramp kitchen with a stove, a refrigerator, and a single counter top with a round table for one in the center. Her 'bedroom' was also in the main area, her bed and dresser was off in the corner near the only window in the house. There was a rarely used recliner in another corner with a plant beside it. Pictures hung on the wall of guildmates and her younger years at Fairy Tail. After Erza finished quickly tidying up her meagerly sized home, she left for the construction sight for Fairy Tail.

Team Natsu, which they were unofficially dubbed by many of the guild members, had finished the mission much faster than expected. Erza had predicted it was last up to three days, it only took up two. Luckily for Erza, her late night visits with Jellal had been put on hold during the job. She assumed he didn't have the guts to bother her in a tent full of her friends ready to defend her. However, the nightmares still continued and she even woke up with a muffled scream. The dark headed, ice mage had asked if she was alright, concern filling his eyes but Erza only nodded and returned back to sleep. Not wanting to make Gray more worried about her than usual. As the team was heading back to Magnolia, Lucy stopped in mid-step and she was blinking curiously.

"So, we basically have a free day?" the key-bearer inquired, a sly grin appearing on her face. Natsu, Erza, and Gray gave her questioning look, not fully understanding what Lucy was implying. Sighing in frustration, she explained, "We should take a mini-vacation instead of just going back to the guild and getting another job right away."

Erza felt her lips tug into a smile, "That's a great idea, Lucy. There is a small town, west of Magnolia, called Hosenka Town. It would be perfect."

Relief flooded through her, another night with her friends meant Jellal wouldn't come near her. Happy clapped his tiny, paws together as he was excited about the idea. Instead of heading straight for their guild's hometown, they took the westward trail towards Hosenka.

Hosenka Town was simply ... beautiful. Once they arrived at their destination, the daylight had grown dark and the spa town was lit up with brilliant, illuminating lights. Erza had rarely been to the town, only once or twice, and everytime she came she was amazed by the colorful lights along the street and the interesting architect of the buildings. It seemed Erza's troubles were melting away, maybe Jellal would leave her be. Ugh, why did her mind always come back to him? It was her one day vacation and all she was worried about was Jellal leaving her alone.

Lucy and Erza departed from the boys as they went to the hot spring. Erza hoped the fire dragon and the ice creation mage would get along and not destroy anything while they were left unsupervised.. She dipped her foot into the steaming water, testing it. It wasn't too hot since she was still wearing her armor but she felt more comfortable, mentally at least.

"Erza? You're going to wear your armor?" Lucy questioned, her naked body was concealed by the darkness of the water. Erza realized how silly she must look.

"I feel protected when I wear my armor." The Titania submerged her body into the steaming liquid and the water soon began filling into her ironclad armor. The odd feeling was quite gross. With a sigh, Erza requiped into the appropriate attire for the hot spring, no clothes.

The two Fairy Tail girls chatted in the hot spring, well Erza mostly listened. Lucy was expressing her worry for Loke and how he had been avoiding her all this time, Erza didn't really know how to give advice but she offered what she could. "Why not confront him and corner him so where couldn't get away?"

"No, no." Lucy declined her friend's advice, waving her hand in objection, "I don't want to scare him to death."

After a moment of silence as they both relaxed, Lucy gazed curiously at Erza and her body lowered into the water so that only her face could been seen, "Hey, Erza, do you like anyone?" It caught the warrior off guard and a sense of awkwardness filled the air, or at least Erza thought so. She knew Lucy was overly romantic and nearly obsessed with boys but she never expected her to talk to Erza about it. Almost copying Lucy, Erza went deeper into the warm water and her eyes blinked as she thought. Natsu was too much of a brother to Erza and she didn't feel any romantic feelings towards the dragon slayer. Gray, she felt a bit of a spark with the ice mage but she considered him to be more of Lucy type. Loke didn't seem to stand out much in her mind and neither did the rest of the men within Fairy Tail. J-Jellal?

"I-I don't know." Erza admitted but refused to mention her stalker. Even though she hated Jellal, she had more 'love' feelings for him than anybody. She felt her cheeks heat up and turn a light shade of pink, thankfully it went unnoticed by Lucy. Then suddenly the thought of Jellal watching her entered Erza's mind, that chill ran through her body she automatically requiped as she felt exposed. Lucy was caught by surprised.

"W-What's wrong! Why did you change back?" Lucy questioned still not sure what to make out of Erza's sudden requip. However, the blonde covered her chest with her arms on instinct and scanned the surrounding area.

It was getting later and their skin was becoming pruny from being in the water for a long period of time. They decided is was about time to return to their room. Each of the fairies received a robe, which Lucy squealed about how cute it was. It was a simple, kimono-like robe that was a sky blue and had pink floral designs on it. The flirtatious Lucy, of course, wore the robe more loosely to show off her cleavage. Since Erza still felt the awkwardness of being followed and watched, her kimono was wrapped tightly and properly.

Natsu and Gray were lounging in the room when Lucy and Erza arrived and they had similar robes as well. Even Happy was wearing one as the blue he-cat was nibbling on a fish in the corner ...

Erza couldn't remember how it started but a fierce and deadly pillow fight had commence out of the blue. The ever so confident Lucy had attempted to join in on the pillow fight but one blow to the head had nearly knocked her unconscious. She quickly retreated and went off to get a drink with Plue. The pillows were slung across the room at high speeds and Erza was hit quite a few times but she ignored the pain, she wasn't going to let Natsu or Gray claim victory! After a good hour of the intense fighting, the trio had fell were they stood. Out of breath and dizzy on the floor with the pillow scattered everywhere. It seemed no one was victorious. Natsu and Gray were lazily snoring as they were already asleep due to their exhaustion from the pillow fight.

Lucy had been gone for quite some time and Erza couldn't help but feel a tugging, worried feeling in her stomach. I should look for her, she should have been back by now. Erza thought. The full moon shown brightly in the pitch, black sky. Since Lucy's body had broken through the flimsy walls of the inn, Erza could see the moon clearly. The Titania had made herself comfortable among the pillows as she sit on the floor, looking outside. Soon enough, Erza knew something was odd and decided to go search for Lucy. Just as she was about to get up, Erza heard a voice.

"You thought you got rid of me, didn't you?" ... Jellal. She recognized that deep, menacing voice from anywhere. She slowly twisted her head towards the direction behind her. Jellal was standing inside their room with both Natsu and Gray sleeping soundly beneath his feet, his dark, brown-green eyes staring at Erza. The two boys were so drained from the fight that didn't even sense Jellal's presence at all.

"Why are you here?" Erza growled, but kept her voice low. She didn't want to wake up her friends. Jellal only responded with a sly grin and proceed forward, Erza stood her ground and kept a fixed gazed on him. He crouched down on one knee to meet Erza's level on the floor and leaned in closer, his hand cupping her cheek like usual.

"I thought you missed me, Erza?" Jellal replied with fake, hurt tone. He pulled her face closer but his lips did not met hers, he only stared deeply into her chocolate, brown eyes, "I have a task for you that will prove your loyalty to me."

After hesitation, Erza finally spoke, "What?" Her tone was flat and uncaring, she didn't plan on doing anything for Jellal but she didn't want to get him angry and for him to attack her. That would wake up Natsu and Gray and she didn't want them to start fighting with Jellal, that would definitely cause destruction to Honseka ...

"It's nothing big, I just want you to get one of your blonde friend's keys for me." Jellal explained in his hushed tone, "I'll give you until tomorrow night, that should be enough time for the powerful Titania."

One of Lucy's keys? Her eyes narrowed viciously, Erza wasn't a thief and she wasn't going to steal from her friends. Why did Jellal even want one anyway? In a forceful motion, Erza jerked her chin away from Jellal's grasp and stood up, her fist balled up in rage. "I'm not following your orders." Erza gritted her teeth, her voice coming out louder than she would like.

"Think of it this way, Erza; if you obey me, I'll reward you and if not, you'll be punished. Either way, I'm going to enjoy." That signature, sadistic grin was plastered on his face as he stood up and creepy chills were sent along the Titania's spine. You'd think she would be use to the chills but they caught her off guard every time.

"Erza?" A sleepy voice called out from underneath a pillow, Gray's dark head poked out as he rubbed his eyes. It took a moment for his vision to become focused and he realized an intruder was in the room, he jumped to his feet and ready his stance for a fight, "Who are you? Why are you with Erza?" His voice growled protectively, Gray could sense Erza's discomfort and evil was emitting from the stranger's body.

"Heh, interesting turn of events." Jellal muttered, he was unfazed by Gray's sudden awakening. Natsu was still passed out on the ground, his snores were probably audible from all the down the hall and he sounded no signs of stirring.

As Gray charged forward to send an aggressive punch to Jellal's face, the darkly clothed man step out of the way and Gray tripped over his own feet and almost landed face first into the grass outside. The ice mage twisted around, rage pulsing through his body, but he was met by a surprised scene; the intruder leaned forward and gave Erza small kiss on the lips but his eyes were fixated into a glare towards Gray. What was going on? Gray didn't understand and as he tried to make sense of the situation, Jellal disappeared a second later as he jumped through the broken opening of their room and took off.

"Erza, who was that?" Gray cautiously inquired as he felt a pang of jealousy. Was that man Erza's secret lover or something? Erza's body trembled with helplessness that Gray didn't understand but it was clear the scarlet, haired warrior wasn't going to explain.

"Don't worry about it." She muttered. The dark haired man tried to move closer to his friend but she quickly stepped away, hiding her face, "G-Go look for Lucy, she has been gone for a long time and I'm worried about her."

He knew that was more of an excuse to change the topic, but Gray nodded, "Okay."

As soon as the ice mage left, Erza let out a shaky sigh of relief and took her spot back on the floor. She had sat closer to Natsu, hoping the dragon slayer would provide some sort comfort. The scarlet haired girl brought her knees close to her chest and buried her face in them. Sobbing silently until her two companions, Lucy and Gray returned.

A/N ;; Wonder what Gray will do now that he has figured out Erza's secret? Will Erza 'obey' Jellal's orders? Thank you for reading and leave a review if you want~
