Winter's POV
I heard a loud whistle and snapped my head up. The train was now stopping in front of me and I stood up to walk over to the train. People were quickly coming out of the train while other people stayed inside the train. I gave my ticket to the conductor and he read over it before handing it back. I searched for an empty booth and softly slided into it. I rested my head against the window and softly let out a sigh. I'm literally constantly sighing. I wonder if I'm sick or something. Pfft...obviously not.
I heard a soft whistle and about two minutes later the train started to move. I don't know how long it's gonna take to get to Hargeon but I'm just going to lay here and do nothing. I don't even know what to think about but I'm so bored. I took my hair and flipped it to my left side, exposing my guild mark. I sighed and closed my eyes. I'm tired but I can't fall asleep because if I do, I might sleep through the Hargeon station and I definetely don't want that to happen. After 1 hour of waiting to reach the station I heard some armor clanking by my side but I didn't move. I was still in the same position as earlier, my hair to the side, exposing my guild mark and my head was still resting against the window. The clanking stopped abruptly by my side and I heard somebody slide in the booth in front of me. I slightly opened my right eye and right in front of me was sitting a red haired woman wearing a Heart Kreuz armor and she had a stern look. I closed my right eye before sighing and opening my eyes and sitting straightly. My eyes met hers but she didn't move. I had an emotionless look and my hair was now covering the guild mark. She cleared her throat.
"I'm Erza. A Fairy Tail member. While I was going to sit on a different booth I noticed your guild mark. Are you a new member?" She said softly but with a hint of seriousness. I nodded. She gave me an incredibly small smile. I haven't seen her at the guild today. Maybe she was on a mission? But why didn't she stayed back at Magnolia? I remember Natsu speaking of 'Titania', the Queen of the fairies, wich supposedly was named Erza. She doesn't look scary at all. "Do you mind telling me your name?" She spoke again.
"Winter." I mumbled and she smiled softly again before extending an arm towards me, expecting me to shake it. I hesitated but shook my hand in hers.
"Nice to meet you, Winter. Since I wasn't by the guild to welcome you I'll just say it now...Welcome to the guild." She said while looking out the window and I nodded. There was an odd silence but she broke it. "Why are you going to Hargeon?" She asked bluntly.
"Mission." I whispered. "Do you mind answering the same question?" I codly asked and she smirked.
"I was on a Mission. My mission consisted of collecting a famous painting from the mayor of Clover Town and deliver it to the mayor of Hargeon. Just as you, I'm on my way over there now." She said while closing her eyes and resting her hands on her lap. I nodded and looked out the window. It was now fully dark and the moon was full. I let out a tired sigh but was interrupted when I heard the train's whistle. I opened my eyes and right out the window was Hargeon's station. I heard the clanking of armor again and turned to see Erza standing up and slowly walking away. She turned back to look at me.
"Are you coming or not?" She sternly said and I glared at her. I softly stood up and started to walk pass her and out the train. Why out of all people in the world did I have to run into Erza? She's boring and stern! But then again...she's pretty similar to me. Without waiting for her, I looked around. The station was empty and only Erza and I were the ones there. I wonder why people are at their homes so early. It's barely 8 o' clock. I shrugged and started to walk out of the station. After 5 minutes I was finally out and Erza was beside me with crossed arms. Hargeon was beautiful. The houses were lined up one against the other and there was a beautiful port with lots of boats. Wow...I've never been here before. And I travel a lot! Ignoring Erza's presence, I started to walk around in search of the Mayor's house.
"Where are you going?" I heard her shout.
"In search of the Mayor's house." I bluntly half shouted back and I heard her chuckle.
"Just follow me." She yelled amused and I turned around to see her walking the opposite direction from me and I rolled my eyes before starting to follow after her. I didn't notice where we were going since I gazed at the ground but after what felt like forever, there was a beautiful mansion up ahead. Erza motioned for me to follow and I obliged. We walked through a pretty garden before walking up to two big doors. I sighed and my gaze fell to the ground again. I wasn't really paying attention to every little detail about the mansion and why should I anyway? With a loud squeak, the doors opened and a very funny looking butler appeared. He had a purple mustache and a blad head. He had glasses on and a basic butler uniform...duh.
"How may I help you ladies with?" Even his voice sounded funny! I wanted to laugh but I managed to hold it in.
"We're Fairy Tail wizards and we would like to speak to the Mayor about a job request, in her case and in my case, I'm the person that accepted Clover Town's job request and brought the famous painting." She formally spoke and I surpressed a roll of my eyes. The butler nodded.
"Yes, yes. Come in, come in. Mayor Eugene will be glad to see you." He spoke flatly and he motioned us to enter the mansion. We both did as we were told and let me say, the inside of the mansion was twice as pretty as the outside. I don't want to explain every little detail but honestly, it's way too elegant for my liking. The fat butler showed us to a gigantic living room and we sat down in one of the expensive looking couches. Right in front of us was a coffee table and behind the coffee table was another big couch just like ours, across from us. I looked around, this guy has a boat load of money if he can afford to buy this types of things. Then again, he is the mayor. Erza and I waited patiently and silently for the mayor to arrive. After what felt like an eternity, I heard a loud slam of a door and I threw a glance at the direction. A tall middle aged man with dark blue hair and a dark blue moustache approached us with two butlers following silently, one of them was the fat one that greeted us. The mayor was wearing a gray tux with a red tie and I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. The mayor sat down in the couch across from us and the butlers stood in each side. The mayor met my eyes and then move to Erza's who gave a respectful bow. I on the other hand, rolled my eyes and turned to look at the mayor. He nodded at Erza.
"What are your names?" The mayor asked with a raspy voice and I cringed.
"I'm Erza and she is Winter." She pointed to me and the mayor nodded. "I came to deliver a famous painting from Clover Town. The Mayor himself asked me to deliver it." She said with a respectful tone in her voice. I watched in amusement as out of thin air she made a suit case appear. Maybe she had it in her requip inventory? If you're asking yourself how do I know that she's a requip mage...I have my ways. The suit case was really big and took over more than half of the table. The mayor nodded and watched intently as Erza opened it and turned it around for the mayor to see. He rubbed his chin before smiling warmly.
"Yes, of course! I remember now! Thank you very much! I believe I shall give you you're reward?" He questioned and Erza shook her head.
"There's no need for that sir. The mayor of Clover Town is sending the reward back to my guild as soon as you contact him and assure him that the painting made it here safely." Erza said while looking at the mayor with reassurance. The mayor nodded.
"Alright then. Ty, contact the Clover Town mayor immediately if you please." The mayor motioned to a young looking butler who had light brown hair and soft green eyes. He nodded and turned around to walk away. The mayor turned to me expectantly. I cleared my throat.
"I came here because I accepted your job request. Something about thugs?" I bluntly asked and he nodded furiously.
"Yes! Thank goodness you've came! Those thugs really don't know when to quit! I've received complaints from residents about their valuable things being stolen none stop!" He said with an irritated tone and I only listened.
"I want you to find them and throw them behind bars! Luckily, they're not mages so it should be easy enough for you." He stated bluntly and I almost growled but held it in. "They always steal during the night so get out there and catch them! And yes, the reward is still the same. I will give you 300,000 jewels as promised once you throw them in jail." He explained and I nodded before standing up.
"I will do my best sir." I bluntly said and gave him a small bow before leaving the room with a silent Erza following behind. The fat butler lead us out of the mansion and into the front garden. After that, the gates opened and Erza and I walked out of there. I looked over at Erza who had a look of concentration.
"You can go back to Magnolia now. This is my job anyways." I spat and she turned to look at me with confusion.
"Are you sure you can do this by yourself?" She asked cautiously and I rolled my eyes. Even though this is my first mission, it's not like I'm going to mess up or anything. Well, at least I hope so. I nodded and she let out a sigh.
"Alright then, I'll be heading back to Magnolia." She informed and gave me one last look before turning away. "And be careful!" She shouted sternly and I sighed.
"Whatever." I sighed and turned around to walk into the opposite direction. A part of me wanted her to stay because I don't know what to do now. I could wait for the thugs to appear out of nowhere. Or I could go in search for them. Or lure them to me. But...how? Maybe I should do the first option and wait for them to steal something so I can go after them. Or I could rely on my trusty nose and ears to see if I could find them. Yep, that's exactly what I'll do. I sniffed the air in search of an odd scent but didn't catch anything.
I started to walk around through the dark streets of Hargeon. I sighed. I climbed on top of a building by holding tightly to a tube that was hanging from the side of the house and climbing it. Up here may be easier to find the thugs so it's way better if I stay here. I sat down in the edge and stared up at the moon, it looked beautiful and radiant from my view. It shone so brightly it reflected on the ocean. I took a deep breath and slumped my shoulders. At least up here it feels nice. I sat there staring up at the moon for like 20 minutes until I heard a slamming noise. My eras pricked up and I started to hear a lot of footsteps running towards this direction. My nose was filled with disgusting scents and I almost barfed right there and then. I slowly stood up and glanced around. I could barely see what was happening but I could see a group of people running with bags and I asumed those were the thugs. I smirked and chuckled when they came through the street I was standing right above from. Once they got close enough, I leaped from my comfy spot and landed gracefully infront of them. Shocked, they began to back away in unison and I raised an eyebrow in amusement before snapping a finger. They began to scream when their bodies began to slowly freeze up. Starting from their feet until completely covering their bodies. Before they fully got frozen, I took the chance and snatched three bags from three thugs. The other two thugs weren't holding any bags.
"You won't get away with this!" One of them growled and I chuckled in amusement. They were all covered in black. Black hoodies, trousers, boots and a few of them had scarfs on. They look more like thieves then thugs if you ask me. One by one, they froze completely and I sighed. Now I have to drag them all back to the police station. Wait a second...where is the police station? I groaned and rubbed my eyes. I'm tired! I took the bags and made the cobblestone road freeze up. It was a downhill, luckily. I threw the bags down the hill and they began to slide all the way down. I did the same to the frozen thugs and they all slided down the hill. With ease, I began to skate down the hill and when I reached the end, I noticed something that made me sigh in relief. There was a police station up ahead. I took the bags and left the thugs behind and walked up to the police station. I pushed the door open and I was greeted by a man that looked to be in his late thirties. He looked up from his desk and noticed the bags that were hanging from my shoulders.
"I caught the thugs that were stealing valuable things from everyone." I stated bluntly while throwing the bags to the floor and he stood up. "The thugs are outside. So if you please, lock them up." I nonchalantly said before walking out the station. I walked pass the frozen thugs and started to walk back to the mayor's house, or should I say, mansion. I felt dizzy and I was tired. Not exhausted, but tired. With every step I took, the mansion got more visible and prettier. Once I was outside the gates, they opened when they sensed my presence and I walked pass them. It took a while to finally reach the front door thanks to the huge garden but when I finally made it, I knocked loud enough for anyone who was behind it to hear. Two minutes later, the same fat butler from earlier greeted me with a raised eyebrow.
"I took care of the thugs." I said calmly while picking at my nails. He nodded furiously before motioning me to come in and take a seat. I walked inside the same living room and sat in the same couch from earlier today. Five minutes later, the mayor came out in the same outfit from earlier. He sat down across from me.
"Well?" He asked eager to know the answer and I simply nodded.
"I took care of them." I informed flatly and he smiled widely.
"Oh thank you very much! I shall give you your reward right away!" He cheered while standing up and walking away before coming back with an envelope in his hands. "Here's the reward! 300,000 jewels as promised! Thank you very much! Arigato! Arigato!" He kept saying thanks and it made me more tired. I nodded and gave a small wave before turning around and walking away. Once I got out of the mansion and out of the huge garden I sighed and stretched. Now I need to find a place to stay the night because tomorrow I'll be heading back to Magnolia. I looked around while walking. Hmm...I wonder if they're any inns around here. My question was answered when I saw a small building that said 'Inn' in big golden letters and I sighed in relief. Great! Now I get to find out what a bed feels like! I pushed open the glass door and walked up to young man who had blonde hair and odd red eyes. He was sitting in a desk writing something and I cleared my throat. He snapped his head to face me and he sighed.
"What can I help you with?" He asked with a monotone voice. I rolled my eyes at him.
"I want to stay for the night." I stated cooly and he nodded before taking out a key from a drawer. I gave him enough jewels to spend the night and took the key. Or more like snatched it from him before walking towards the stairs and climbing them up to my floor wich was number 3 and the room number was 14B. I walked up to the door and with the key, opened it. My nose was filled with a flowery scent and I looked around the room. It was pretty comfy looking. It had one twin bed with a window beside it. The curtains were a pale yellow and so were the bed's cushions. There was a bed side table with an odd looking lamp. There was a door that lead to the bathroom wich was decorated with pale yellow. I sighed. It looks really comfy. I decided to go to sleep since I'm tired and I have to go back to Magnolia tomorrow.
Once my head touched the pillow I felt like I was in heaven and instantly fell asleep.
