The Black Dragon Slayer of the Apocalypse
Chapter 11
Erza's flat at Fairy Hills
Erza: I don't think it was a good idea to leave Natsu and Haruhi alone at Lucy's house, but I can't let myself interfere. Even though I want to know what they're talking about so badly.
Erza entered her home and locked the door. She kicked off her shoes and requipped into her nightdress. She walked into her room absolutely exhausted, after the battle she didn't sleep very well so even though it was still daytime she still got ready for bed.
As Erza started to close her blinds she saw a pigeon with a message on its leg. She allowed the pigeon and took the message.
Dear Erza,
By now you have probably heard the news of my escape from the cells of the magic council. I mean no ill will. I want to speak to you. Ultear and Melody are with me too. There's also something important Ultear needs to confess to Natsu. Meet me at the temple 10 miles west of Hargeon's port in a week. If you need to contact me use the carrier pigeon.
Jellal
It took Erza a few minutes to process what was written in the letter. She remembered Bisca telling her that Jellal escaped prison 6 years ago. But she never expected he would try and contact her so soon.
Erza felt her heart racing.
Erza: What would Ultear want to say to Natsu? I know her connection to Gray but…
Erza fell on the bed with the note from Jellal on top of her heart. She sighed deeply and tried to sleep. However the bombshell refused to let her do that, she sat on her desk trying to come up with a reply to send to Jellal's letter.
Outside Lucy's flat
Lucy: You have got to be kidding me. Haruhi's been part of this guild for year? And she has met Zeref!
Lucy had come back from shopping a while ago. She heard that they were still talking and decided to leave, however curiosity and temptation got the better of her and she listened in to most of Haruhi's story. She heard Natsu tell Haruhi to come closer to him at the end of the story, but she decided to wait for a while longer. It would look suspicious if she walked in just as they finished. At that moment she felt a hand grab her shirt and lifted her up.
In Lucy's flat
"You're still hiding something aren't you?" Natsu accused Haruhi.
Haruhi immediately got up and turned away from Natsu.
"I can't tell you that. I'm simply not able to tell you." Haruhi told Natsu.
"Is it important?"
"(Sigh) Yes…"
"Why can't you tell me?"
"It's just not possible. I'm sorry, if I could I would tell you brother." Haruhi turned, she looked ashamed at herself.
"It's alright for now what you have told me is more than enough." Natsu gave her his usual grin. "Now how about tomorrow we go and see our parent's grave"
"Will you be better by then?"
"Yes of course I will but you will have to untie me" They both began to laugh.
"AHHHHH!"
"That's Lucy's scream." Natsu began to squirm trying to get out. The front door slammed shut. The sounds of huge footsteps drew nearer.
"Hi guys." Lucy said whilst being held up by the red headed demon.
"She spied on you this entire time. Give me the word and I will deal the correct judgement of this heinous crime." Erza looked angry but you could tell that she was jealous of Lucy, she wanted in on the secret.
Natsu looked at Haruhi, he wondered if she would mind if other people knew her secret, even if she knew they deserved to know.
"It's fine Erza. Actually it makes my job of telling the people in the guild much easier. But Lucy how much did you hear?" Haruhi asked hoping she hadn't heard the last few sentences of their conversation.
"I heard everything except the things at the beginning and in the last minute, that's when Erza grabbed me." Lucy confessed.
Erza's face became innocent. Her eyes became black and large. Now she wasn't hiding her curiosity, and blatantly saying she wants to know what happened.
Around an hour later
Haruhi had just finished filling Erza in on her story.
"I remember that. Helpless. That's what I felt. They took something dear to me from my memory and I couldn't even fight back." Erza looked down disappointed in herself. Then something clicked in her brain. She hit her clenched fist on her other hands open palm.
Everyone flinched because they thought she was going to hit one of them. She ignored them and said "That's probably what he meant by Ultear wanted to say something to Natsu. It all makes sense." Everyone in the room were all confused. Another thing clicked in Erza's head. "I haven't told you yet but Jellal contacted me today saying he wanted to meet me and Natsu. Oh and Ultear and Melody are with him." Erza said it like it was no big deal that it caught everyone off guard.
"So that male tranny wants to meet me. It's disgusting that he dressed up as a girl even as a child." Natsu shook his head in disappointment. "And I thought Gray was bad."
"Natsu you do realise that Ultear is actually a…"
Erza grabbed Haruhi's shoulder and said "You're just wasting your breath we've tried to explain it to him many times but he doesn't listen."
The guild hall- Makarov's office
Makarov: I thought I saw that kind of magic before. The last few days I've been searching books and books to find it. Zeref so this is what you've been doing all this time, training Haruhi.
He got up from looked around to exit but found that he was surrounded by books on all ends. He tried to move some but an avalanche of books came tumbling down upon him.
Makarov: I can't use my giant's magic as anything I touch whilst in the form grows larger with me. That's how my clothes grow larger. I guess I could negate that effect but then my clothes would rip and I'll be naked.
"Mira? Lisanna? ANYONE? HELP ME!" The master shouted in desperation.
