—COUNTDOWN—

:-:-:-:

THE NEXT MORNING of the fairies' departure, Jellal and Natsu, in the camp of Onibus, talked about everything. The increasing number of abhorrent, the annoying assumptions of Mirajane, supposed Elfma's romance, among other things, the party include.

"WHAT?" Natsu cried. "Does that mean you seriously plan to attend the party?"

"I do not see why all the fuss." Jellal answered without giving more importance to the matter. "It's just a party, Natsu."

"You forget Mira was in charge?"

"I do not forget it!" Jellal responded by reassuring his friend. "And I firmly believe that I must do something in view of the enormous possibility that this event ends up becoming the commitment party for Elfman or yours."

"What did you say?" Natsu asked with an unusual tone of concern in his voice.

"Nothing," Jellal turned his face, hiding a smile. Natsu remembering the unfortunate situation, in which he had gotten himself, sighed resignedly. At that moment one of the guards entered the tent and left a message for the mages.

"Well, what is it?" Natsu asked curiously.

After a few seconds of exploring the document, Jellal finished reading and looking up from the main paragraph said solemnly, "The quarantine is up in Fairyshire."

"When?"

"Tomorrow will be announced."

"The, I'll begin preparations for the most wonderful party Nappiefield Park has ever seen!" Natsu exclaimed with a spark of illusion in his eyes.

"The first is to decide the date." Jellal, as always, took care of getting down to Natsu of his cloud.

"Next Tuesday." Natsu replies immediately.

"As soon?"

"The sooner the better, Mira already ordered some things and if all goes well and Happy helps us with the invitations, I'm sure everything will be ready in time…"

Jellal said nothing, it was impossible to put a stop to Natsu's enthusiasm. As he listened to the fire mage's plans, his eyes returned to the sheet of paper he kept crumpled on the desk, the news he had been waiting, finally had it in his hands! In good time decided to be part of the next ambitious project of Natsu (of Mira actually, although the pink-haired boy thing did not care anymore, and apparently, him either) then the promise of his early departure Fairyshire, should be more than able to support the party and everything that implied, even…

"Maybe, do not be so bad."

—oOo—

Five days…

"My children," Approaching the first hour of the morning, Master Makarov made that call and reported, "Since the fall of Web Valley, local authorities asked to consider using the Thunder Palace as the main defense of the town, a week ago I received the request for put the lacrimas along the road, however, considering the increasing number of abhorrent, the work is very hard, so I was forced to request reinforcements and for some time we will have guests in the guild."

"What do you mean?"

The magicians present, utterly perplexed, and began to comment on each other.

"From today, Fairy Hills fairies in charge of protecting the roads will collaborate with Mermaid Heel wizards," The old man said and the girls were excited, but they did not have time to comment, for the master continued with his announcement. "And the Rain tribe responsible for the lacrimas, will team with Trimens of Blue Pegasus."

"Hey man! Is this a joke?" Laxus exclaimed, so that in the guild there was silence.

"I do not think so." The master replied, letting out a sigh, which quickly changed into a smile. "And that reminds me you're already here."

"WHAT?"

At that moment they entered Fairy Tail hall, the three stupid, and how could it be otherwise, at five minutes, they had flirted with each and every one of the girls gathered in the guild.

"Oh, wow! It seems to be one of those fancy tricks." Cana whispered sarcastically, trying to hide her sadness over the fall of the orphanage.

Finally, with all the pomp that characterizes him, acclaimed by his followers and jumping from the second floor of Fairy Tail made his dramatic entrance the leader of the Trimens, Ichiya Vandalay! Landing on the floor of the guild, and I do not have to tell you what happened afterwards, although on second thought.

Fairy Tail magicians, after recalling the incident at the party two weeks ago, reacted as soon as that mysterious character came out of the hole in the floor that had formed because of his strange nailing, and the fairies were no exception! Juvia took a fork and jumped from her chair to the table. Levy was sitting next to her, gripped her ankle before the water mage plunged her utensil into the neck of the humabominable?

"All still!" Titania stood in the midst of her nervous companions, who were about to pounce on that Ichiya, a small man in his mid-thirties, short and thick, whose mere presence reminded everyone of the abominable age lived.

"He's human like us," Erza kept looking at the wizards seriously. "A man who was born with the curse of this century, and our guest, I will not allow…!"

The redhead girl stopped abruptly, when she began to feel an aura of death followed by a chilling cold that traversing her armor ran down her back.

Sniff… sniff… "My dear Erza, as you always have a nice perfum."

That voice baritone and silky paralyzed the fairies leader and everyone in the guild! All watched attentively and silently as that abominable-human, literally, laid his nose grotesquely on the skin of the redhead girl. Titania flushed with anger, and being unable to contain herself for a long time, she gave the little man a punch in the face that sent him flying.

~meeeeeeeen

—oOo—

Four days…

"Natsu, you must take this seriously!" Mirajane said.

"If you cannot keep pace, you cannot consider yourself a real man either." Elfman said. He without apparent effort guided his older sister to the rhythm of the waltz.

"Brother, I think Natsu is taking this quite seriously, and that scares me." Lissana intervened after Natsu had stomped on her.

"This is ridiculous!" Drew the Dragon Slayer as if it were the end of the world and turned his irritation on someone else, "And you, when are you going to stop laughing?"

"You'll have to excuse me, Natsu, but seeing the way you humiliate yourself is anthology." Jellal smiled returning to his reading, but it was impossible not to look up every time he heard a new protest from Lissana.

"Do you want to concentrate now? You've stepped on me again!"

"Can we do this tomorrow?" Natsu said.

"No, we cannot." Mirajane replied, unable to erase her mischievous smile. "The party is in four days and Happy flies all over Fairyshire carrying the invitations."

"I cannot help thinking that something is going to go wrong at any moment." Natsu sighed as he sprawled into an armchair during the brief recess of his dance classes.

"Nothing is going to go wrong; the ball was arranged by me."

"Is that supposed to make me feel better? Anyway, just do not forget anyone."

"Of course, I will also send an invitation to our fellow officers. Surely they will want a night of recollection after spending days annihilating abhorrent."

"Jellal, where do you think you're going?!" Natsu asked.

"To Magnolia camp," Jellal replied. "I have a pending business, I will not be long."

"I will go with you!"

"Are you sure, Natsu? Gray will be there and if I do not remember, you did not separate in the best terms."

"Anything so as not to suffer another hour of one, two, three and twist… see you Mira!"

"Wait, Natsu! Well, it will be all for today, I still have a lot to do."

:-:-:-:

"Sister!"

"Milliana?"

"It's been a while."

"Friend of yours?"

Erza looked closely at the stranger, a girl with harmonious features, an upright and disciplined posture, and a face whose grace was limited by that sharp look that did not inspire confidence.

"Oh! Where are my manners? Kagura, she's my sister, Erza.

"Nice to meet you." The girl said.

"I saw you the other day."

"Sister, she's Kagura, the best mage of Mermaid Heel guild, and she has accepted command a battalion in one of the regiments."

And it was fair that it should be so, for the white uniform she wore was only enhancing the posture of the young warrior, giving her an air of elegance.

"But that sword…"

The fairies had accompanied Erza to the camp on the outskirts of Magnolia were introduced, and while the group of girls chatted on the improvised street amicably, the sound of a fight made them turn and great was their surprise, when they saw Natsu in a lawsuit with another dark-haired wizard. The affair would have been over, unless Jellal had separated the magicians, and Natsu noticing the presence of the fairies, immediately made his way toward them with a thunderous salute. Jellal, following Natsu, to keep him from causing any other trouble, also greeted the girls with a slight nod, and he was thinking of not looking at Erza when he suddenly noticed the stranger.

Erza noticed the expression of both of them the moment they looked at each other, so fleeting that only she, with her perceptive eyes, caught her. Erza realized from the tiny movements of Kagura's sword that she had thought briefly about drawing it. What was her reaction to?

After a few seconds, uncomfortable and tense seconds, Natsu without apparently noticing what had happened, said good-bye and departed with his friend. As the fairies returned to the town, Erza remembered what she had observed between Kagura and Jellal and their behavior was not explained, that of both!

—oOo—

Three days…

Titania intended to head to Magnolia Camp that day, she needed answers! And the only way to get them was…

"A nice perfume!"

Erza, after the fall of the Magnolia orphanage had her senses sharper than ever, heard that voice that reminded him of the lament of a condemned man. For Titania to have to listen to the abom-Ichiya chatter, shut up and sniff all the way, it was an unpleasant experience. And it is that from its arrival to Fairy Tail, the magician of the perfume had been dedicated to follow the gentleman to all parts. Erza listened to him with deep exasperation, shunning the idea of drawing her sword and freeing the world from another abominable. The leader of the Trimens was as absurd as she remembered, and more clumsy. Fortunately for her, the unusual pair was closely followed by Cana and Juvia, who could not hear the old man (as he used to call it Evergreen) without quietly enumerating the countless methods they could use to kill him.

"If Miss Cana has no problem, Juvia can decapitate the man here and now."

"But we could wait, in case he dares to set foot in Fairy Hills again." Cana laughing to remember when the grandmother kicked Ichiya's face and said, "Abominable, human, or begotten, if he is a male, the entrance is restricted!"

:-:-:-:

Jellal kept himself distracted by watching the dark day through the window compared it with another day, a day of the past…

"Would you mind explaining…"

"Natsu!"

"What was that yesterday?"

"Let's just say," Jellal paused long enough to choose his words. He did not expect to have to tell Natsu about Kagura, about Simon, nor did he have to, that was a private affair, his affair. "My relationship with Miss Mikazuchi is not all that good.

"I noticed that, everyone noticed!" Natsu replied.

That the fire mage had been careful to mention the matter so far, and would have had the subtlety of implying that another person was sufficiently capable of assuming something from the tension that arose on that occasion, proved that he was not a consummate idiot as everyone assumed, or maybe I'm hurrying.

"But come on, you are not exactly the archetype of sympathy, besides, it is not that she wants to kill you." Natsu raised a laugh, but the silence that followed was fateful to be aware of Jellal's head movement, trying to hide something, embarrassment or perhaps remorse? He was of great impact for the boy of the exaggerated smile, who did not say anything more.

—P+P+I—

"Can you release my hand?" The Ice Boy asked to the woman with blue hair.

"Juvia thinks you'd better wait outside." She began to stammer the water mage.

When that dark-haired man entered the tent, Juvia felt as if he had been dealt a very heavy blow. He made such an impression on her that, despite her melancholy being, her feminine nature was susceptible to the boy's influence. The Fairy Tail mages were usually… they were… they were good magicians, but at that moment, Gray Fullbuster far surpassed any other magician Juvia had ever known.

"Is something wrong with you?" Erza asked the fairy to see that she was not articulating any words.

"Erza? I did not know you were part of Fairy Tail, it's good that we work together again."

"Let's work? Together! AGAIN?!"

"So, were you the one of yesterday's commotion?"

The ease with which Gray and Erza entered into conversation, even if they only commented that that night was very humid, was enough for the tempered water woman to experience an internal revolution. With such a rival, Juvia seemed to drown in her own bubble of water, for Gray paid no attention to her.

:-:-:-:

The groans of the abhorrent echoed through the forest on either side of the road. Erza listened to them, but she could not stop thinking about Kagura and what she had told her.

"Tell me Kagura, are you planning to attend Nappiefield's party?"

"Probably," Kagura sat next to Erza. "How long has Jellal been staying there?"

"Maybe a month, you know him?" The redhead girl did not even dare mention his name.

"I know him!" Kagura looked away. "More than I wanted." She spat.

"I understand that he is a man of many abilities."

"Yes, his talent as a warrior is irreproachable, who but me to prove it?"

Erza looked at her in surprise.

"I understand the surprise, after watching as we both looked at each other yesterday." Kagura said.

"By the way you looked him; I do not think you have the best relations."

"We would not have to; Jellal is a traitor and a murderer."

Erza received the data with astonishment.

"Your accusations are very serious, they are not allowed unless present…"

"Proofs of the crime?" Kagura interrupted the redhead girl. Erza could perceive in her a certain level of pain and sarcasm.

"Like a sister who sees her brother being executed before her eyes? Do not be fooled, you do not seem to be a woman who easily gets influenced by others. Jellal Marvell has a dirty conscience and his hands stained with blood."

So strong were the girl's dissertation and her unwavering presence that Erza did not hesitate at any moment when she spoke with a lie. Further…

"I had already heard of an incident in which he was involved and that to this day is not allowed to forget."

Could it be that it was the same incident? In any case, if there was a betrayal…

"What a nice detail of Mira to omit the part where Jellal was the traitor and not the betrayed." Erza said with a laugh. "I am stupid!"

The abhorrent heard the cries of the redhead girl and directed their steps towards the fairies; they resigned to delaying their return home, waited for the monsters to leave forest.

~meeeeeeeen

—oOo—

Two days…

"Erza, why did you do that?" Lucy asked, she did not understand why the redhead girl had left that little man with bruised face, not that it made a big difference but…

"If he comes near me again," The knight woman shouted, looking at a place far from the guild, where this group of fastidious men was attending to the wounds their leader received because of the blows she had given him. "I'm going to fake dementia, and I'll behead him, but I'm defending myself against an abominable attack."

The other members of the guild kept a watchful eye on that Ichiya, the abominable-human, standing, urged the mages of Fairy Tail to work together, but the appearance of Happy with the official invitation to the Nappiefield Park's party interrupted him.

The perspective of the party excited all the fairies, they looked for the opportunity to comment with Happy, but the blue cat one excused alleging that still had many invitations to deliver. In spite of that disappointment, Lucy imagined the pleasant evening that would happen in the company of Mirajane and Lissana, and the attentions of the pink-haired boy. But Erza, with horror of even thinking about the possibility of being surprised with some provocation on the part of Jellal, trembled of the rage. However, remembering that Jellal would probably be aware of Miss Kagura's movements, in case she decided to take revenge on the night of the party, she calmed down, or tried, she was full of uncertainty, but still she thought that anyway be cautious and not be surprised. After a while it passed and Erza began to feel animated. Although she could not stand the old man, she could not help wondering, if he and his three colleagues would attend the party. She should not have asked.

"I have no qualms about being a participant in the fun of the evening with all of you precious fairies; what's more, I take the opportunity to ask my dear Erza, to grant me the first two dances."

Erza felt that she was descending through the deepest hole in hell, and there was no remedy or way to escape. Why the hell did she have to ask? Erza ended up accepting the old man's proposal, hiding her desire to vomit. Her misfortune could not be more painful except, of course, an exquisite circumstantial additive.

"No, I used to dance with any subject, even if he had an abominable face."

Erza was horrified at the idea of being the object of furry jokes. What would Jellal Marvell say when he saw her dancing with the leader of the Trimens?

If it were not for the preparations for the party, the girls would have fallen into the tedium of routine, for since they returned home it had not stopped raining. Even Erza felt irritated, it is not difficult to imagine why! The harsh humidity in the environment drove the abominable ones mad and made humans much more detectable. The fairies could not go to Fairy Tail, or to find the latest news because Happy no longer stopped at home. The thieving cat spent so much time in Nappiefield that the fairies were seriously considering declaring him unwelcome.

—oOo—

13 hours…

Natsu was awake very early, had to check that nothing was missing. The invitations had been delivered and although he had wanted to take their own personally to Luigi and the fairies, he knew of the ban on Fairy Hills, and he did not want to face a painful death so he decided to wait impatiently at the time of the party to see to the blonde girl.

5 hours…

"Are not you planning attend to party?"

"Grandma, I have many reasons to stay home."

"Don't exaggerate and wear that blue dress that suits you so well or better the black! Do not forget that the quarantine was raised and the party will be full of handsome wizards, so you have to look cute."

Erza sighed. Old Hilda apparently did not have the slightest interest in knowing what she was feeling at the time, but she did not want to appear in a horror party that would surely turn into a bloodbath.

"I think he's one of those people who need to be stripped with a knife." Lucy resumed the conversation with Titania after grandma left the room. "He's distant from people he does not know, and he does not seem to care that they have prejudices against him.

"Mira should not defend him! Does not she know the kind of person Jellal is?"

"I saw him take you by the hand, and although I refuse to believe that such conduct was a provocation, I think it was despicable." Lucy expressed her displeasure. "It's really complicated. One does not know what to think."

"Excuse me, but one knows very well what to think. I am sure that I have not expressed here more than I would express anywhere else." Erza let out a sigh, "Except Nappiefield."

"I know you do not like him."

"I feel that if I see him tonight I would be able to strangle him."

"But you cannot be affected just because he's going to be there."

Finally by much insistence of Lucy, Erza decided to attend the party, did not come up with anything better than wearing a black gothic outfit. As a rule of the grandmother, when they arrived at Fairy Tail, she asked Cancer to make her a ponytail fastened with a black ribbon and decided to wear little makeup, one that made her look fresh and natural, for a moment! Why even though she did not have that intention (she would just go and eat cake) was she so careful to get ready?

2 hours…

"You look very adorable." Miss Strauss looked pleased at the pink-haired boy, he standing in front of a mirror. "I'm sure that Miss Heartfilia does not escape you tonight."

"One more word and I go to woods with him." Natsu reacted to the white-haired girl overwhelming predictions.

"I know you will not, neither! Remember that the first dance is with Lissana while Jellal will do it with me, and you certainly will not want to make me a snub such as that, will not you, Jellal?

The boy grimaced at the sound of his name. He was distant and thoughtful. Every minute that passed was convinced that it would be best not to show up at the party. He was seriously considering the idea of camping that night as Natsu had suggested. Jellal was sure that Erza had noticed his attitude with Kagura, The Slayer had already suggested it the other day, and probably that night would have to do a lot of evasiveness, if Simon's little sister did not decide to break the party by claiming her revenge. Anyway, that was the least of his problems.

35 minutes…

Jellal stared out the window at the guests. They began to arrive and inevitably he let out a sigh.

"It will be a very long and dark night." He heard a voice behind him.

"Natsu! Jellal looked back to see the Dragneel boy. "Why did you say that?"

"I do not know, but it's what you wanted to hear, is not it?" Natsu laughed. "The party is going to be a disaster that does not matter! Anyway is not something that can be avoided, but for Igneel, change that face and help me a little, do you want?

11 minutes…

Erza ran the curtains of the carriage. Natsu was very kind in lending his to the fairies. The weather was cold, but still nice. The redhead girl kept thinking that this serious maybe the last night he would have to deal with Jellal that alleviated or mortified her? Could not agree and that was the real problem.

"We're here." She listened to Evergreen.

The fairies came down leaving Erza alone with her thoughts. Once she put them in order, after remembering that touch, she got out of the carriage.

"Touch of our hands."

Erza thought, when she felt someone take her hand and call her by name. She heard the voice unmistakable that it was…

"What the hell?"

"Your perfume is adorable tonight, my darling.

Seven o'clock!

The bells of the tower rang. A harmonious and pleasant sound, overtaken by a loud blow that was heard throughout Nappiefield Park, followed by a pitiful ~meeeeeeeeen that heralded the beginning of that dark night, that party of horror.
